Book 3: Chapter 131 (1) |
Leon rarely displayed such intense killing intent, but these three idiots had once gravely injured his master. If not for his master’s wife, his master would be dead by now.
This grudge, Leon had to settle.
At that moment, Elizabeth shouted from the land boat again,
“Not enough! Scott, release all your fusion beasts and dangerous species! Wipe out Leon completely!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
As the words fell, the street’s ground suddenly trembled violently.
The crowd fell into panic, scrambling for safety.
And as they fled the streets, the ground shattered.
They roared and wailed, like souls escaping from hell.
In an instant, Leon was surrounded by the Dagger Trio and dozens of fusion beasts and dangerous species.
“Well, Kasmod? Even with your *heaven-defying skills*, *two fists can’t match four hands*. Let’s see how you escape today,” Elizabeth gloated, seemingly assured of victory.
“Escape?”
Leon smirked, “Since I dared to stand here, I never planned to escape.”
“But can’t you see the situation? Those fusion beasts could crush you with sheer numbers.”
“What’s the use of numbers? Just a bunch of ants.”
“Stop *talking big*! You—!”
“And besides…”
Leon slowly raised his hand, cutting off Queen Elizabeth, “You think you’re the only one with allies?”
“What?”
As his words landed, Leon snapped his fingers lightly.
The next second, a dragon’s roar echoed through the night sky.
Everyone in the Upper District looked up.
A blue wyrm circled elegantly in the sky before diving down, landing beside Leon and transforming into a blue-haired beauty.
“Sea Dragon Princess, Claudia.”
“A… a dragon…” Elizabeth’s eyes widened, her pupils trembling uncontrollably.
Before Elizabeth and the others could process the sudden appearance of the blue dragon, a gust of wind swept over their heads.
A massive silver figure, flapping its dragon wings, slowly descended beside Leon.
Shedding its dragon form, a tall, silver-haired beauty stood there, cold and regal.
“Silver Dragon King, Roswitha.”
Leon crossed his arms, smiling at Elizabeth, and continued,
“And if you thought that was it—”
Boom—
A red figure landed with a “superhero landing” pose in everyone’s view.
Leon introduced the final ally debuting tonight:
“Crimson Flame Dragon King, Constantine.”
…
“Dragon Kings… they’re really Dragon Kings!”
“But why are they helping Leon against the Empire? Didn’t they say the Empire and the dragon clans collaborated to orchestrate this war?”
“I’m guessing there are probably… some in the dragon clans who’ve been dedicated to exposing this world-shaking conspiracy?”
“Honestly, though, I don’t really trust the dragon clans… Look at that Dragon King called Constantine, he looks so fierce.”
“Come on, can you even become a Dragon King without being fierce?”
“Either way… since we’re all victims who’ve been deceived by the Empire for so long, I’ll support whoever can beat up that dog emperor!”
“That’s *borderline a bit too extreme*.”
“What, so who do you support?”
“Leon.”
“Tch!”
“…”
The crowd was a mix of voices, buzzing with discussion.
Some unconditionally believed in and supported Leon, while others remained cautiously skeptical of his actions.
But regardless of their stance, everyone was a victim of the Empire’s long oppression, and they certainly wouldn’t side with King Kant.
This was the purpose of Leon using the recording stone resonance to publicly expose the Empire’s ugly face.
Even if he couldn’t win everyone’s support, he could make the vast majority see the current situation clearly.
The Dagger Trio, standing at the forefront, looked at the three Dragon Kings who’d descended from the sky, visibly stunned.
They were indeed the new generation of dragon-slaying machines trained by the Empire, their efficiency no less than Leon’s in his prime, flattening and crushing any dragon clan they faced.
But since these were allies Leon had brought, they were likely different from the Dragon Kings the trio had encountered before.
Especially that… Constantine.
The “Fusion Technique” and the “Dagger Plan” were developed in tandem, so the Gini brothers had heard a bit about Constantine, the super-stitched monster.
Not to mention, he’d once broken free from the Royal Sorcerers’ mental suppression, escaped the Empire, and caused quite a stir.
Now, this symbol of burning vengeance had returned to his old haunt, clearly aiming to exact revenge on the Empire.
But even knowing this battle would be extremely tough, Gini showed no fear.
“Looks like you haven’t been doing too well among the dragons all these years, Leon.”
Captain Gini’s tone remained mocking, “Two women and a corpse that’s died twice—that’s the help you brought?”
“What the boss means is, if you really can’t find anyone to back you up, just surrender. No need to come out and *make a fool of yourself*,” Gitai added, twisting the knife.
And the one-armed Gimei was even more arrogant,
“Three Dragon Kings—perfect, one for each of us brothers, so we don’t have to split like before!”
Pre-battle taunting was standard procedure, and *heart-piercing trash talk* was indispensable.
But Leon was past the age of trading trash talk.
His wife, auntie, and Old Con by his side had even less interest in such antics.
Claudia and Roswitha stood with arms crossed, quietly watching the trio’s blabber, their gazes filled with the concern and pity one might show for *mentally challenged children*.
Constantine, despite being labeled a “corpse that’s died twice,” remained relatively calm, not immediately attacking.
Because he knew he was here as Leon’s muscle—until Leon gave the word, there was no need to steal the spotlight.
What?
You’re wondering why Old Con, the mighty Crimson Flame Dragon King, is so obediently following General Leon’s orders?
Of course, it’s for the room full of Primal Power magic tomes Leon promised him!
