"What Mr. Wyn said is true! Don’t let them interfere in the battle between Young Master Charles, who is currently fighting against that human boy."

There were many powerful dragons on the empire’s side. They were all the main forces that had guarded the empire for millennia. Even a small portion of them were individuals who had existed even before the Dragonia Kingdom was created in the Dragon Realm.

Not all living beings could fight toe-to-toe with the noble leaders of the Dragon Realm. Most of the dragons who had guarded the empire for a long time were Dragon Emperor-stage dragons. Moreover, the number of Dragon Overlord-stage dragons was around 24.

But the number of Dragon Emperor-stage dragons was no lower than 48. The large difference in numbers on the empire’s side was enough for the Dragonia Kingdom to lose badly. Luckily, Lilith was the protector who always prevented the empire from undermining their power in the Dragon Realm.

"Lize, go and keep Lucien away from this place. We will deter them all with all our might."

"Wait a moment. Hena, if you two get in their way... I’m sure you’ll be defeated immediately." An endless expression of doubt crossed Elize’s face. The people who should have gone to save Lucien were Athena and Shelia. As the strongest woman among the three of them, Elize was the only dragon who could survive fighting against the monsters in front of them.

Athena’s face began to show a look of helplessness. Even if Athena tried her best to save her lover, she had no chance of getting past the defenses of the 72 dragons in front of her.

The powerful dragons of the empire were no match for Athena and Shelia at all. There was no hope for the three women to save Lucien from the imperial trap. For some reason, the sound of screaming was heard in the place that had now turned into chaos.

A roar like that of a powerful giant rang throughout the empire. Lucien’s previously half-human form revealed his true dragon form. This was the first time I had shown my true dragon form after successfully snatching Elize’s virginity.

Both the power and defense of my current dragon form had far surpassed those of my Dragonoid Transformation form. The dragons who saw me successfully achieve the form of a true dragon once again couldn’t help but show surprised expressions. Some of the imperial protectors even praised the prowess of this young man of the Human race.

"Talent is an extraordinary thing in this world. It’s a shame that this man was discovered by them first. If this human were on our side... sigh. Just thinking about it is useless."

"Just focus on our work. However, His Majesty has given us orders not to let anyone get involved in the fight between the two prodigies. Let the arrow land right on that human’s body."

An endlessly frightening expression appeared on Elize’s face, which was devoid of any emotion. The aura on Elize’s body, which had previously shown no aura, began to emit a terrifying pressure. The aura of a Dragon Emperor-stage dragon began to surround all sides of the empire and shocked the spectators in the arena.

"Lize!? You actually broke through? Since when did you manage to reach this level?!"

"Sorry for keeping it a secret from you and Lucien. I managed to break through when I woke up this morning. I don’t know how to explain it, but it was all because of the flower pot that our darling brought the night before."

The Flower of a Thousand Nights is a flower that can help anyone overcome obstacles in cultivation. That was also the reason why Elize was able to successfully reach the Dragon Emperor stage without having to take any tests. After all, reaching the Dragon Emperor stage at such a young age was something impossible for young dragons to achieve.

"This little girl from the Darmica family... We have to change the plan! She is a girl who is difficult to deal with. We have to be more serious about fighting the three of them now."

The powerful dragons agreed with the statement given by their companion. The terrifying aura emitted by Elize gave the Dragon Emperor-stage dragons a sense of danger. But for Dragon Overlord-stage dragons, facing Elize was no different from facing a dragon that had just hatched from its egg.

"Let the young ones fight each other. It doesn’t matter even if we lose one of our great talents. That girl betrayed us from the start." The older, powerful dragons showed no expression other than amused smiles. But unfortunately, the figure of Lucius appeared before them. As a king who led a kingdom, Lucius would not remain silent and ignore the actions taken by the empire against his family.

"How about counting me in to fight against you? I’ll gladly fight you."

Silence reigned for a while before a cold voice finally sounded from one of the older dragons. Stroking his short beard, the older dragon nodded as if agreeing to the challenge given by Lucius.

"King of Dragonia, allow this old man to challenge you. Do you have any objections?"

"Of course not. Even if you want to attack me together, you can come at me all at once!"

"Kekeke~. What an arrogant adult dragon! You will regret daring to challenge all of us!"

"No... I still haven’t lost! No... I won’t lose that easily just because of an arrow!" Being secretly shot by an arrow from a distance was the dirtiest thing the empire could do to me. This was the first time in my entire life that I had experienced being shot by a silent arrow from afar. Therefore, I was completely unable to maintain my composure after trying my best to endure such a senseless attack.

In fact, the power of the arrow gradually began to drain away my mana until there was almost nothing left. For now, I had nearly reached my limit after trying my best to stop that single arrow with all my strength. My two hands, now in the form of a true dragon, continued to block the arrow’s attack with all my might.

"Lucien! Hold on a little longer! You can’t lose consciousness!" A worried voice came from Athena’s mouth. Hearing Athena’s concern about my condition filled my heart with warmth. Unfortunately, I couldn’t survive the attacks from the arrow, which was incredibly fast and unstoppable.

The various blocks of ice that had previously restrained Charles shattered as my strength began to decline drastically. For some reason, Charles delivered a powerful punch right into the middle of my stomach.

Spurt!—
