The night sky seemed to be completely torn apart, with countless black, viscous liquids gushing out from dozens of cracks.
The viscous liquid fell into the river of fire and transformed into a shape like a dragon, intertwining with the river of fire that was trying to envelop the black liquid. The two giant pythons, one black and one red, fought desperately to entwine and twist, with flames sometimes leaping up and sometimes the black liquid turning into a large net to extinguish the flames.
Unfortunately, Lin Bei's power was extraordinary, and within minutes, the situation quickly turned one-sided.
The towering flames were firmly imprisoned by the almost sky-covering black liquid. As the flames that kept rising from the river of fire were swallowed up one by one, the earth-shattering power of the Word of Power "Candle Dragon" was completely suppressed by Lin Bei's Shadow Monarch power.
As the last glimmer of fire on the horizon vanished and darkness returned to the night sky, Constantine stood frozen in disbelief amidst the churning black liquid.
Why, why was this human not only unharmed within the "Candle Dragon" spell, which was powerful enough to destroy him and his brother, but also able to protect the entire Kassel College from being consumed by flames and extinguish them completely?
Is this something humans can do?
Or perhaps, during the many years he slept, humanity has become capable of surpassing the dragon race?
No, this is not possible.
This is a development that defies common sense.
But what he saw before him truly told Constantine that there were indeed people among humanity with extraordinary talents who could surpass dragons.
Constantine began to tremble all over; he was unwilling to accept this fact, nor did he want to accept this reality.
Only at this moment did the pride that belonged to the dragon in his heart completely dissipate.
As his confidence crumbled, he could no longer sustain the dragon transformation. Flames enveloped Constantine, and he reverted to being that frail boy once more.
Constantine's face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with despair. He stared intently at Lin Bei, who was hanging not far away, his lips twitching as he slowly forced out a sorrowful smile.
"Thank you for letting me experience what it's like to become a dragon. Could you do me one last favor?"
Lin Bei manipulated the black liquid to surround Constantine. He slowly approached Constantine and nodded slightly.
Constantine let out a long breath as countless streams of black liquid surged toward him.
"If you ever meet my brother in the future, please pass on my message: I would be very happy to become his younger brother."
As Constantine finished speaking, black liquid erupted from all directions, rushing towards him.
In the blink of an eye, before Constantine could even utter a sound, he was enveloped by the black liquid and died completely.
After completely devouring Constantine, Lin Bei mentally reviewed the Word of Power of the King of Bronze and Fire and nodded in satisfaction.
Not only the Word of Power "Candle Dragon", but when he killed Constantine, he instantly comprehended all the Words of Power of the Fire element.
While fire-based spells are certainly useful, Lin Bei thought he was equally interested in spells of other elements.
If I encounter dragons of other elements in the future, I must kill them and seize their power.
Having made up his mind, Lin Bei revealed a calm smile. He snapped his fingers, retracting all the black liquid that had blotted out the sky.
After the black liquid quickly returned to the shadows beneath Lin Bei's feet, Kassel College returned to normal.
As early as when Constantine used the incantation "Candle Dragon," the professors and students below had already sensed something was amiss.
That was a cry from the depths of the soul, an alarm bell rung by the survival instinct when faced with mortal danger.
Principal Angers' expression changed drastically, and he immediately wanted the professors to protect the students and even evacuate them immediately.
But before the order could be given, the instant the sky was ignited by the river of fire, a cloud of black liquid swept across the Kassel College.
The previously panicked crowd immediately stopped, and everyone looked up at the sky. They could sense a faint heat coming from the black liquid and hear various sounds coming from high above.
While everyone was still in a daze, Old Tang remembered his identity and quietly left the swimming pool, fleeing out of Kassel College.
Just as Old Tang escaped from Kassel College and reached a safe spot in the nearby mountains, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, then clutched his chest and knelt down.
Countless memories flooded out like a Pandora's box that had been opened, both beautiful and painful, all pouring into his mind and eventually transforming into the figure of that thin, frail boy.
Old Tang's expression froze. He suddenly looked up, staring at Kassel College in disbelief.
By this time, the battle was over, and the flames above Kassel College that had illuminated the night had been extinguished.
Old Tang bit his lip hard. The last image in his mind was a thin boy walking towards him step by step, calling out "brother" in a daze and helplessness.
I remember.
Remembered it all.
He is Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, the Dragon King.
That was his beloved younger brother, Constantine, who was also the King of Bronze and Fire.
But it's too late to remember now.
His younger brother had just died in front of him.
Old Tang's eyes were bloodshot, and he lay prostrate on the ground, roaring silently.
His younger brother, in order to see him and find him, was willing to bow down to humans and beg them to help him transform into a dragon, just so that his brother could see his dragon form and remember him.
But what about him?
What did he do?
Besides fear and vigilance, he was actually thinking more about how much money the dragon's organs could sell for.
Old Tang was filled with anger and regret. He wished he could tear himself to pieces to bring his brother back.
Unfortunately, there's no going back in life, and Old Tang's wish could never be fulfilled.
A night wind swept across the mountain, and the cold wind gradually calmed the despair and anger in Old Tang's heart.
He took a deep breath, stood up again, and stared expressionlessly in the direction of Kassel College.
Instead of dwelling on regret and self-pity, it's better to transform hatred and anger into strength.
It's all Kassel College's fault. If they hadn't brought back my brother's egg, I wouldn't have done something like forcibly waking him up.
Old Tang, no, Dragon King Norton slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils had turned pure gold.
Norton stared blankly in the direction of Kassel College for a long time before slowly clenching his fist, turning around and striding away.
He will naturally seek revenge in the future, but not now.
Let's get back to Kassel College.
After the black liquid disappeared, Lin Bei easily returned to the ground.
As soon as he landed, he saw countless professors and students staring at him in shock.
Lin Bei frowned slightly, then vanished from his spot in a flash, returning to the Norton Pavilion.
But the quiet hadn't lasted long when Principal Angers' voice came from outside the Norton Building.
"Lin Bei, we have some questions for you. Can we sit down and talk?" Lin Bei didn't want to pay attention, but then he thought that even if Principal Angers didn't come, Professor Guderian, Professor Mans, and even Lu Mingfei and Fingel would bother him.
With a helpless sigh, Lin Bei raised his hand, and a stream of black liquid flew towards the door, opening it a crack.
Upon seeing this, Principal Angers, Professor Guderian, Professor Mans, and Lu Mingfei showed their delight and walked inside together.
Lu Mingfei came with the professors because he also had the right to use the Norton Hall.
After the group sat down, Principal Angers couldn't wait to look at Lin Bei with eager eyes.
"Lin Bei, may I ask what your power is? What kind of Word of Power is this? Why have we never seen it before? Is this a Word of Power from your family?"
Lin Bei glanced indifferently at the crowd, pinched his brow, and sighed: "If it were a family heirloom, would this kind of incantation have never appeared in the world before? Naturally, it's because I possess superhuman power; even dragons can't do anything to me."
In short, my power does not belong to the realm of words. In other words, it is a dark power that you cannot learn and are not qualified to learn.
And I will not harm Kassel College; in fact, as long as I am a student of Kassel College, I will naturally protect the college.
At this point, Lin Bei paused and glanced at Professor Mans: "Speaking of which, the exploration team will still continue to search for traces of dragons, right? In the future, whenever you discover the existence of dragons, remember to send me the information and report. As soon as I receive the news, I will naturally rush to the scene to help you solve some minor problems."
Lin Bei said this because he wanted to use the power of Kassel College to find the whereabouts of the other dragons.
He knew that the more powerful a dragon was, the more likely it was to hide somewhere in the world or transform into human form and blend into the human population.
Those that are hidden are relatively easy to find, like Constantine.
But finding dragons that are hidden among humans, especially those that completely conceal their power, really takes some effort.
Even Lin Bei would need to put in some effort to see through whether the person in front of him was a dragon.
But Lin Bei didn't want to do something so strenuous.
Instead of trying to handle everything yourself, it's better to rely on other forces and let them do things for you.
For example, an exploration team.
After Lin Bei finished speaking, Principal Angers and the others were slightly pleased.
After witnessing Lin Bei's immense power, Principal Angers' first thought was to use Lin Bei's strength to eliminate other dragons that posed a threat to the world.
Now that we look at it, Lin Bei took the initiative to bring it up before they even explained their purpose. Isn't that exactly what he wanted?
Therefore, before Professor Mans could speak, Principal Angers immediately smiled and nodded in agreement, and directly granted the Norton Hall to Lin Bei and Lu Mingfei, allowing them to use it for as long as they wanted, without any time limit.
Principal Angers immediately recognized Lu Mingfei as a genius, but compared to Lin Bei, he was still somewhat inferior.
But that's alright, Kassel College values talent, and they will give Lu Mingfei special attention and training.
After the professors understood Lin Bei's meaning, they were finally relieved. They didn't disturb him further, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left.
The Norton House fell silent once again.
Lin Bei closed his eyes slightly and lay on the sofa. He didn't look at Lu Mingfei, but spoke helplessly.
"Just ask me anything you want to ask. Your thoughts are already bothering me."
Lu Mingfei's face lit up, and he grinned as he moved closer to Lin Bei, asking the question that had been bothering him.
"So dragons really do exist in the world. Ever since I entered the academy and listened to the professors' lectures, I thought dragons had become legendary creatures. Oh, by the way, where did that dragon come from? How did it suddenly appear in the school? Also, why was Kassel College suddenly attacked? Do you know the reason? And, will there be any other negative consequences if you kill that dragon? Why do I have a feeling that a conspiracy is going on?"
After listening to Lu Mingfei's rambling words, Lin Bei suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Lu Mingfei.
It must be said that Lu Mingfei's intuition was very accurate.
Lin Bei naturally knew that Constantine's forced awakening, even by Old Tang's own hand, was clearly at someone's behest.
In this world, there are two major forces. One is the Kassel Academy faction, which naturally wants to kill the dragons that are ravaging the world and wants to kill them one by one before they awaken.
On the other side, there is the camp that stands with the dragon.
What they need to do is resurrect the dragon, especially to awaken the legendary king.
Each king is not just referring to a single dragon; every dragon king with a title is a twin.
Just like Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, is actually a combination of Norton and Constantine, who can be called a king.
Because he was separated from his brother, Norton is incomplete and imperfect.
In order for him to become perfect and completely transform into the King of Bronze and Fire, he needs to find his younger brother.
Unfortunately, he was interrupted midway and killed Constantine right in front of Norton.
Lin Bei also knew that this was part of the plan.
Having witnessed his brother's death, Norton will remember everything again. In this immense pain, Norton will be reborn from the ashes and become the true Dragon King, worthy of the title of King of Bronze and Fire.
But in fact, this was part of Principal Angers' plan.
Principal Angers' goal is to fully awaken Norton and then kill him by any means necessary.
Principal Angers harbors an unspeakable hatred for the dragon race, a fact that Lin Bei has no interest in.
His only interest, like Principal Angers, was to kill the four Dragon Kings.
Lin Bei had known about this series of interconnected plans for a long time, but he chose to get involved himself in order to become a key figure and drive everything forward.
He wanted Norton to witness his brother's death, to be reborn with the flames of hatred, to remember the painful memory of this incident at Kassel College, and to remember that he, Lin Bei, had personally killed Constantine.
Lin Bei wanted to personally cultivate a formidable opponent.
Of course, this opponent's strength is destined to be unable to reach him, but it might be more interesting if the opponent becomes a little stronger.
Lin Bei was filled with mixed emotions. He didn't tell Lu Mingfei any of this, but simply turned around and casually said a few words.
"Trust your instincts, Lu Mingfei. Also, dragons are cunning, don't fall for their tricks."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head, somewhat confused about what Lin Bei meant, but seeing that Lin Bei didn't want to talk, he didn't press the matter further.
Just like in the original story, Nuonuo invited Lu Mingfei to join the student council, and Lin Bei naturally followed suit amidst everyone's anticipation.
However, Lin Bei didn't like the feeling of being constantly watched at Kassel College, so he spent most of his time holed up in the Norton Building.
As time passed, Lin Bei knew that the plan was about to unfold. (End of Chapter)
