Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 257 Dragonblood Naga and the Dragon Lord

Chapter 256

On the battlefield of the Dragon God, the Dragonblood Naga Selita warily surveyed her surroundings.

She was situated on a small plain nestled among mountains, surrounded by the remnants of floodwaters.

There are few obstacles nearby, making it easy for someone to spot you first and then ambush you.

The nimble snake tail immediately began to wriggle, and it swam high into the nearby mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests in this direction can conceal her presence, and the demon senses that the closest of her people are in this direction.

Snakes move very slowly, only slightly faster than humans; even extraordinary life forms would be weaker at the same level.

However, Selita's movement speed is terrifyingly fast, not only because she uses the time power of the Bronze Dragon to accelerate her own speed, but also because she has a special wolf totem painted on her body, which gives her movement and stealth abilities equivalent to the limit of Sequence 4.

Half an hour later, Selita and another dragonblood naga rushed towards each other and gathered together.

Their demonic seeds resonated and overlapped through their Nen abilities, further enhancing their ability to sense other demonic seeds. They had no intention of hunting dragon beasts or killing other familiars; they were only focused on gathering their people in accordance with the demonic seeds' senses.

In just a few days, Serita has already assembled a team of 100 people.

At this moment, the demon seed that was closest to them could clearly sense that it was also a group of demon seeds gathered together.

However, after roughly estimating the distance, Selita gave up on joining up with the other Dragonblood Naga team.

Because the Dragon God Battlefield is too large, if ten thousand Dragonblood Nagas are scattered, there will be at least a dozen or at most two or three hundred people within a certain range. If they are too far apart and insist on meeting up, they will encounter countless enemies along the way.

Moreover, gathering too many people at the beginning makes one a large target and an easy target.

Hundreds of Dragonblood Nagas dispersed to search for prey at a distance where they could support each other at any time.

The Demon Seed plays a significant role in this regard, because only a very small number of life forms can control their own seven deadly sins, and any intelligent life form that cannot hide its own seven deadly sins will find it difficult to escape the Demon Seed's perception.

Celita discovered a dragon beast, and after careful observation, confirmed that it was a Sequence 4 Dire Tyrannosaurus.

She immediately ordered the nearby Dragonblood Nagas to lie low, then silently chanted in the Dragon Language to cast a Dragon Language-enhanced Water Clone. Half of the metal slime armor that had formed on her body fell off and attached itself to the Water Clone, making it look no different from the original.

After the water clones rushed towards the ferocious dragon, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The roar of the dire dragon, the clang of weapons clashing with its claws, the sound of trees snapping and dust billowing up—all these sounds could be easily detected by the dragonkin and their retinues within a radius of hundreds of miles using their perception skills.

The water clones and ferocious dragons act as bait, while the scattered, lurking dragonblood nagas act as a fishing net.

Those dragonborn and their retinues who couldn't resist being drawn in were like prey walking into a trap—much easier than searching for prey elsewhere. Of course, there were also quite a few hunters lurking in the shadows, observing the situation like the mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind.

So after the first batch of prey were caught in the net, Selita began to join forces with all the nearby Dragonblood Nagas to cast war magic.

All the Dragonblood Nagas abandoned their two weapons, allowing the Metal Slime to move to specific locations.

Then, these metal slimes simultaneously released their Nen, incorporating the evil thoughts of the Seven Deadly Sins into their Nen, thereby creating a massive area of ​​life instinct oppression, which amplified the pride and wrath of all hostile intelligent life forms.

The hundreds of dragonkin's retinues that had been drawn to the area had already encountered each other and begun fighting.

At this moment, the Dragonblood Naga, with their powerful stealth abilities, moved like ghosts across the battlefield under the accelerated time, shooting down their prey from a distance. When they encountered a troublesome opponent, they would immediately surround them and overwhelm them with numbers.

The performance of the Dragonblood Naga is not limited to the team led by Selita.

Almost all the Dragonblood Naga squads scattered across the Dragon God battlefield delivered perfect results in a short period of time.

Of course, almost, but not all, that's because some of the Dragonblood Nagas died.

Among thousands of pure-blooded dragons, and at least tens of millions of dragonborn and their familiars with Sequence 4 combat power, there are always some individuals who are particularly powerful and possess the means to penetrate the defenses of Sequence 4 metal slimes. However, even in death, the dragon-blooded nagas can invariably drag their opponents down with them.

Time passed day by day, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The original number of Dragonblood Nagas reached 10,000, but now there are less than 7,000 left.

However, without exception, all the surviving Dragonblood Nagas grew to Sequence 5.

On this day, blood mist began to rise without warning from the outer perimeter of the Dragon God Battlefield.

These blood mists enveloped the Dragon God Battlefield like a giant halo, and then began to shrink around Dragon God Mountain.

The blood mist contracted very quickly, driving the dragonborn and their families on the periphery of the battlefield to migrate inward.

These blood mists have no effect on dragon beasts, but they are 100% fatal to dragonborn and their followers.

No dragon descendants or their families approached Dragon God Mountain in the past six months, because it was something they could only dream of but could never actually do.

Countless pure-blooded dragons have resided in Dragon God Mountain, and the dragon might of all the pure-blooded dragons remains in Dragon God Mountain. Over time, the strength of the dragon might in Dragon God Mountain has reached the point where, apart from pure-blooded dragons, even those of Sequence 1 would have to crawl on their knees to get to the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, the dragonborn and their retinue were unable to approach Dragon God Mountain from the outermost edge of the Dragon God Battlefield under the pressure of the dragon's might.

The only way to increase resistance to dragon's might is to hunt down other dragonborn and their familiars.

Then, the remnants of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree leaves are stripped from the bodies of others. The more remnants accumulated in the body, the stronger the resistance to the dragon's might. Only when they are gathered into a complete leaf can one reach the foot of Dragon God Mountain.

Then, by absorbing the power of the leaves and purifying the dragon bloodline within his body, he broke through from Sequence 4 to Sequence 3 in one fell swoop.

The entire Dragonblood Battlefield is like a breeding ground for venomous insects, consuming tens of millions of Sequence 4 units to cultivate thousands of Sequence 3 units.

On the surface, it seems incredible that tens of millions of Sequence 4s were used as cannon fodder.

It should be noted that in the human world, some duchies are only at Sequence 4.

This is actually quite normal; the lower limit and the upper limit of human beings are directly proportional.

Even with the help of the Dragon God Battlefield, tens of millions of Sequence 4 Dragonborn and their followers can only produce a few thousand Sequence 3 at most. Moreover, the chance of these Sequence 3 becoming Sequence 2 is even lower. While the lower limit of Dragonborn and their followers is high, the upper limit is also relatively low.

In contrast, for humans, at most tens of thousands of Sequence 4s can give birth to thousands of Sequence 3s.

Moreover, the chance of becoming a Sequence 2 is far higher than that of thousands of Sequence 3 Dragonborn and their dependents.

Therefore, below Sequence 3, many alien races are hundreds or thousands of times stronger than humans.

However, starting with Sequence 3, the situation became roughly equal. Starting with Sequence 1 and Sequence 0, the World Government was able to fight against all the surrounding alien races simultaneously. Only if the alien races were willing to pay the price of the successive fall of their own true gods could they join forces to destroy the World Government.

However, it should be understood that civilization is an appendage of the true God, and the true God is the creator of civilization.

As long as the true God lives, even if civilization is destroyed, there is still a chance for it to develop again.

It's not about absolute hatred or conflict of interest; there aren't many true gods who fight to the death.

Five years later, only one thousand of the Dragonblood Nagas remained alive.

Originally, there were tens of millions of dragon descendants and their families, but by this time, only tens of thousands remained.

Originally, the Dragonblood Naga made up one in several thousand, but now they make up one in several tens.

Furthermore, all Dragonblood Nagas have grown to Sequence 4 without exception, and all the Metal Slime weapons wielded by Dragonblood Nagas have also grown to Sequence 4 over the years, because Dragonblood Nagas are easy to kill in battle, while Metal Slimes are almost never injured or killed.

The metal slimes that died in battle against the Dragonblood Naga were assimilated and fused by the living Dragonblood Naga using their weapons.

Each Dragonblood Naga is covered with six Sequence 4 Metal Slimes.

This is also the key to how over a thousand Dragonblood Nagas were able to survive amidst the increasingly brutal battles.

Of the dragonborn and their followers under the command of other pure-blooded dragons, only a few have survived to this day, and even a few dozen are rare. The pure-blooded Naga, numbering in the thousands, have terrified the other dragonborn and their followers in recent years.

It wasn't that no one tried to stop the attack on the Dragonblood Naga, who had become the target of everyone's attacks; rather, all the attempts to do so ultimately failed.

Rosen invested a total of 10,000 Sequence 4 and 60,000 Sequence 5 metal slimes, and now only 7,000 have survived. Since all the Sequence 5 weapons have grown to Sequence 4, the metal slimes that were originally Sequence 4 and transformed into armor have naturally grown to Sequence 3 as well.

Thousands of Sequence 3 metal slimes formed an impenetrable wall, enough to stop all attacks from the Dragonborn and their followers.

At the summit of Dragon God Mountain, thousands of pure-blooded dragons overlooking the battlefield below were well aware that the winner of this Dragon God Battle had long been decided: these thousand-plus Dragonblood Nagas were destined to fuse with complete leaves of the Dragonblood Divine Tree and become demigods. As a result, in recent days, many pure-blooded dragons had been discussing which bronze dragon's familiar these Dragonblood Nagas belonged to.

Because of the interference of the Dragon God Mountain's might, even pure-blooded dragons have difficulty perceiving which dragon blood the Naga below the mountain actually belongs to.

The only way to determine that the Dragonblood Naga are servants of the Bronze Dragon is by observing their displayed abilities.

While the other pureblood dragons might not know, the two bronze dragons had already guessed who it was.

The total number of bronze dragons in the bronze dragonflight does not exceed one thousand, so it is not difficult to recognize Rosen disguised as Faerlen Katis.

It is precisely because I know this that it feels so unbelievable.

The final contraction of the blood mist was not circular, but elliptical, because Dragon God Mountain was too large, even its foot was too large. There were too many places for tens of thousands of people scattered at the foot of the mountain to hide. Only the elliptical contraction of the blood mist could force everyone to gather in one place.

All the Dragonblood Nagas released their Sequence 3 metal slimes, which then fused and assimilated into a giant metal slime several kilometers tall.

The giant metal slime's body transformed, becoming a void warship that hovered in the air and moved forward rapidly.

While dodging the blood mist, they encountered dragonborn and their retinues, and launched a saturation attack directly from the air.

It should be noted that all Dragonblood Nagas are promoted to Dragon Magician, and their specialty is Dragon Magic, not melee combat. The overwhelming Dragon Magic engulfed the Dragonborn and their followers, and complete leaves gradually condensed within the bodies of all the Dragonblood Nagas.

Selita confirmed that the leaves inside all the tribespeople were intact before taking out the historical dragon's nest from her storage space.

The historical dragon's lair expanded its domain, encompassing all the dragonblood nagas, and brought these followers into the lair to satisfy their need to refine the leaves of the dragonblood divine tree within their bodies, thereby breaking through from sequence 4 to sequence 3 in one fell swoop.

The historical dragon's nest soared into the sky, reached the mountaintop, and landed in Rosen's hands.

At that moment, a Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit fell from the Dragon Blood Divine Tree above and floated down in front of him.

Rosen excitedly accepted the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit, a treasure of the dragon race at the level of a true god.

Although it is a mass-produced item, its value is still immeasurable.

Basically, as long as one eats the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit, even with poor talent, it won't be difficult to become a Sequence 1 in the future. Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the surrounding pure-blooded dragons, his head instantly transformed into a dragon head, and then he swallowed the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit in one gulp.

Normally, the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit can only strengthen the bloodline of the dragon race.

Rosen's current bronze dragon body is entirely transformed from the body of an ancient god.

However, his transformation was too perfect, and his bronze dragon bloodline was too perfect. Even the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit couldn't distinguish the real from the fake. His bronze dragon bloodline was also completely real, and it could perfectly digest the nutrients of the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit to strengthen itself.

In this way, when he undoes the transformation, the benefits of the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit will also be inherited simultaneously.

The most direct change was the significant increase in the awakening level of the ancient god bloodline within him.

The Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit is a gift from the true god, and the player who ranks first in the Dragon God Battlefield will also gain a corresponding territory.

The Sequence 1 True God Dragonborn responsible for guarding Dragon God Mountain respectfully handed Rosen a map of Dragon Island.

Rosen opened the map, which marked all the unclaimed lands.

He has two choices. The first is to choose a smaller territory, the ownership of which will belong to him as long as he lives. The second choice is to occupy a territory many times larger, but only with ownership for a thousand years.

The biggest advantage of choosing a smaller territory is that it is protected by the Dragon Realm and no one can invade it.

Choose the second option: if other dragons of the same rank are not higher than him, you can challenge him and forcibly take some of his followers from him.

Both are dragon lords, and people usually participate in the Dragon God Battlefield for the second one.

Of course, there are also dragons who dislike trouble and ultimately choose the first option.

Without hesitation, Rosen chose the second option and began searching for his desired territory across all the unclaimed lands on Dragon Island. He quickly selected a piece of unclaimed land closest to the territory of the Bronze Dragon Clan and then handed it over to the guards of Dragon God Mountain.

A moment later, the guard from Dragon God Mountain returned and handed Rosen a dragon-shaped ring.

This is the Lord's Ring, the identity certificate of all dragon lords.

Possessing the Lord's Ring allows one to modify the terrain within their territory, view it from a godlike perspective, teleport freely within it, and ultimately receive the blessing of the entire territory, thereby significantly increasing their growth rate.

In the beginning, there were no dragon lords in the dragon realm.

This is a hybrid creature created by the dragon race after the rise of the World Government, imitating the human aristocratic hierarchy.

It is inferior to the Divine Realm in every other aspect, but it is stronger than the Divine Realm in one aspect.

That is, when a dragon lord is in his own territory, he can more easily comprehend all the rules with the blessing of that territory.

Because the ultimate control over all rules and authority within the Dragon Realm does not belong to the main world, but is intercepted and controlled by the Dragon Realm itself, the Dragon Lord's territorial ring is essentially a manifestation of the Dragon Realm's dispersed world will, thus possessing advantages that even the divine realm does not have.

Upon seeing Rosen put on the Lord's Ring, the surrounding pure-blooded dragons all gathered around to congratulate him.

Rosen warmly welcomed all those who came to express goodwill, summoning a large number of elemental servants and offering a large amount of divine crystals in return. Of course, there were also many who disliked him and quietly stayed away, but no stupid dragons came forward to provoke him.

Because there are too many dragons, it's impossible for each dragon to communicate for a long time.

Basically, it's just about introducing yourself, getting to know the person, and then leaving your contact information.

"By the way, why didn't those two bronze dragons come to congratulate you?"

Finally, Dawn Dragon, who had left his contact information with Rosen, casually asked...

"I was banished by the Bronze Dragonflight."

Rosen said nonchalantly.

The nearby pureblood dragons were all surprised and turned to look at Rosen, then looked incredulously at the two bronze dragons who were sitting on pins and needles.

Having secured first place in the Dragon God Battlefield, he's a definite Rank 1 in the future. How could he be expelled from his clan after all that?
In just a few days, the Bronze Dragon Clan will likely become the laughingstock of all the dragon races in the Dragon Realm.

"He was expelled for breaking into the clan's dragon tomb to steal..."

One of the bronze dragons couldn't help but explain.

“I’m just taking back the legacy left to me by my parents who died fighting for their people.”

Rosen retorted, "I am clearly too talented, which is why I cannot master the power of time before Sequence 3. Unfortunately, some people are blind and have seized the inheritance left by my parents, without giving me enough resources to become a demigod."

The two bronze dragons looked at each other in bewilderment; they had no idea about such a thing.

However, not only the other pure-blooded dragons, but even the two bronze dragons believed Faerûn's statement.

Because it's very simple: the strength of dragonborn and their families depends on pure-blooded dragons.

The time power displayed by those dragonblood nagas has proven just how strong Faerûn's control over time is.

Therefore, there is no dispute that he has great talent. The only ones who are blind to his abilities are the Bronze Dragonflight, or rather, not blind, but certain high-ranking members of the Bronze Dragonflight who seized the property of Faerûn's parents.

Although the dragon race is not very united, the conflicts are mostly between different groups of people.

The group is generally quite united.

Because those who are capable compete for benefits from other groups, while only those who are incompetent fight amongst themselves and act like bullies in their own backyard.

This time, the bronze dragon clan not only became a laughing stock, but would soon become a laughing stock in the dragon world. If it weren't for the necessity of waiting for the dragon's nest to bring back the surviving dragon offspring and their families, both bronze dragons would have loved to leave Dragon God Mountain as soon as possible.

Rosen knew very well that his words had completely offended the Bronze Dragon Clan.

However, he was right. Faerun secretly entered the clan's dragon tombs only to reclaim his parents' inheritance. However, some bronze dragons saw that he was unable to grasp the power of time and wanted to seize the inheritance, so they took the opportunity to expel Faerun.

In fact, if he simply bowed his head, the current Bronze Dragon Clan would definitely welcome his return.

However, what Rosen wanted was for the Bronze Dragonflight to turn against him, because Faerûn had lived among the Bronze Dragonflight for too long, and no matter how well he disguised himself, there was still a possibility that his behavior would be exposed. It was better to stand on the opposite side and not have any in-depth contact.
