Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 364: Strong Arrival
"As a commoner from a remote branch of the fallen royal family of Kolya, you have awakened the noble blood of the Seraphim. This opportunity is rare. You should cherish it. Every day should be better than yesterday!"

The tall old man, wearing a plain yet sophisticated warrior robe, spoke to the two young men in front of him.

The two young boys looked a little thin, but they were very tall. Wearing light armor for martial arts performances, they looked taller than the old instructor in front of them.

The two young men had determined looks on their faces. As commoners, they were able to walk out of the slums again and had the opportunity to restore the former glory of their family. This opportunity could be said to be given by the distant northern kings.

If it weren't for the decline of talent in the Koria royal family, there would only be two or three direct descendants of the royal blood who could awaken the divine bloodline of the Seraph Envoy. Such an opportunity would not even come to the young men of these two families who have almost completely fallen into the civilian class.

In normal times, as long as the royal family of the Kingdom of Coria ensures that in every generation there is a descendant who awakens the blood of the Seraph and grows up safely, it will be enough to ensure that the Kingdom of Coria continues to stand among the countries in the northern border of Ekania.

Even if the descendants of awakened Seraphim's blood cannot grow to above the legendary level, relying on the noble blood of the gods, they are qualified enough to compete with ordinary legends in the sanctuary, even without the blessing of any holy weapon.

If the platinum holy sword used by the former Seraphim could be mobilized to cooperate with each other, the Kingdom of Coria could even be said to be as stable as a mountain. No country in the northern border of Ekania would dare to covet this country.

In the past, the three families divided the kingdom. The Principality of Glow and the Principality of Nyarras took advantage of the fact that the royal blood was weak and had not yet grown up, and thus they were able to split the country due to various factors.

The various conspiracies and political struggles involved are so complex and bizarre that it is difficult to describe them clearly.

Among the three, the Principality of Glow even established contact with the Church of God served by the Seraph, the ancestor of the bloodline of the Kingdom of Koria. The Principality of Nyaras was split from the Grand Duke in power in the royal family of Koria, and also inherited the bloodline of the descendants of angels.

However, things are different now. Under the coercion of the northern kings, even the Coria royal family, which has been accustomed to this and hopes to maintain the existence of the Coria Kingdom with the existence of generations of angel blood, is accumulating strength in an attempt to return to its heyday.

They had no choice but to relax restrictions under the threat of national extinction, allowing all descendants with the blood of angels to quickly gain powerful strength through the blood awakening ceremony in order to resist the northern kings.

However, although in theory, the descendants who inherit the blood of the same ancestor will inevitably carry some of the ancestor's blood, in the world of magic, the awakening and revival of blood is even more complex than genes.

Just like the current king of the Kingdom of Coria, Coria XIII. According to the tests of the Royal Magic Corps of the Coria royal family, the concentration of the blood of the Seraph in the king's body is almost catching up with that of the third generation king of the Kingdom of Coria - Coria III.

But no matter what means the Koria royal family used to stimulate and cultivate, Koria XIII was never able to revive and awaken the noble and powerful blood of the Seraphim in his body.

The great wizards of the Royal Magic Group even hunted and purchased the blood and sweat of high-level demons and high-level devils from hell and the abyss.

Even with the blood and sweat of these higher beings combined with magic potions to stimulate the body of Kolya XIII day after day, there was no way the blood of the Seraphim in the king's body, which had reached the critical line of awakening, could cross that level.

The awakening of bloodline has different conditions for different bloodlines, but the awakening of most bloodlines is related to the spiritual height, willpower and mental tenacity of a person with that bloodline.

But for King Koria XIII, none of these would be lacking.

Corea XIII did not awaken his angelic blood, but only relied on the experience he had gained from traveling around the world to reach the threshold of legend and become a true warrior at the top of the holy level.

He is even able to compete with ordinary legendary masters with his own strength alone, and is a true hero.

No one would believe that such a person lacks strong will and a tenacious mind.

People outside had no idea that this outstanding King Koria XIII, who was obviously extremely talented, even better than the individual qualities of all the kings of the Kingdom of Koria except the first, was still unable to awaken the blood of the angel god.

However, only the most core talents in the history of the Koria royal family know that the awakening and revival of the bloodline of the angel gods requires not only the height of the spirit and the tenacity of the mind and will, but also the consistency of beliefs.

Most of the people in the royal family of Koria who were able to awaken the blood of angels did so in their teenage years. That was a time when humans flourished, and their spirits, minds, and bodies began to grow and rise like the rising sun.

That is also the time when a person is most malleable. He or she does not have the ignorance of a child, who is able to accept the indoctrination and shaping of beliefs and knowledge, nor does he or she have the complexity and paranoia of middle age.

Perhaps Corea XIII was too smart, which led to him having his own fixed beliefs and a world view system shaped by absorbing external nourishment when he was a teenager.

Therefore, Kolya XIII was unable to accept the influence of the beliefs instilled by the former Seraph, or in other words, Kolya XIII was unwilling to accept the beliefs of his bloodline ancestor.

It is said that the ancestor of the Kingdom of Koria, the Seraphim, abandoned the holy sword in his hand that had followed the angels to conquer many dimensions because of the change in the Seraphim's belief, which resulted in the platinum holy sword no longer being the most powerful weapon in the hands of its master.

So this holy sword was left in the Kingdom of Koria as the kingdom's national sword.

Consistent with this rumor is an anecdote from the Kingdom of Koria.

Among this generation of the Kingdom of Koria, there are two with the most outstanding talents.

One of them is Winona Corea, known as the "Goddess of War".

This female war god was only a collateral descendant of the kingdom, but she had shown extraordinary talent since she was young. She traveled to the northern countries and the central continent, and reached the pinnacle of the Saint Rank at the age of nineteen.

During her adventurous travels, this female warrior fought no less than a thousand, eight hundred battles, but she almost never lost.

After returning to the Kingdom of Coria, this outstanding female warrior Winona was immediately given the name of the kingdom by Coria XIII and appointed as the general of the legion of the Kingdom of Coria.

During the three years since Winona Corea took office, she led 5,000 legionnaires of the Corea Kingdom in surprise attacks amid border conflicts and frictions, fighting to support the war along the way, and plundered 16 cities in the neighboring Principality of Glow and Principality of Nyarras.

But the war was eventually stopped by the alliance of northern nobles, and the conflict finally ended when King Coria XIII of the Coria Kingdom took the initiative to call a halt.

The Principality of Glow and the Principality of Nyarras must pay a huge fortune to redeem the sixteen cities that were conquered and occupied by the goddess of war.

So Winona Corea returned with an army of 20,000 soldiers. After two years of quiet recuperation, she finally broke through the shackles of the legendary threshold and became a legendary angel warrior.

But even such a gifted female warrior, a beautiful female general who enjoyed great reputation among the younger generation of people in the Kingdom of Coria, could not win the favor of the platinum holy sword in the Cathedral of the Kingdom of Coria.

But this old man in simple clothes, the king of the Kingdom of Coria, Coria XIII, was able to easily master the holy weapon.

Kolya XIII slowly said to the two young men who had the potential to awaken the blood of angel gods: "Come, let me see your progress."

The two young men's eyes lit up at the same time, they lowered their waists and elbows, and coordinated the forces between people and weapons as much as possible. They looked at each other and took a step forward to attack at the same time.

A young man stepped forward, lowered his waist and stood sideways with a blade in hand. The joints of his raised fingers were clearly visible. He swung the blade diagonally upwards along the momentum of his step. When the long blade in his palm was about to block the highest point of the blade's force, he suddenly exerted force. His use of force was extremely skillful.

The other young man stepped forward fiercely with a heavy sword in his hand. The heavy sword was more than two meters long. The broad-bladed heavy sword that ordinary warriors could use with both hands was like a simple long sword in this young man's hand.

At the moment when the boy with the knife suddenly exerted force, the boy holding the heavy sword in one hand suddenly jumped high, held the heavy sword with both hands and chopped down diagonally, blocking the other side of Corea XIII.

The cooperation between the two teenagers was not very tacit, but in just a few months, the natural ferocity of the two boys was stimulated, and the burst of attacks was like a tiger rushing out of a lurking jungle or a lion pouncing on its prey hungry.

Even if it is just the simplest attack, without any complicated changes afterwards, it is still a fatal blow.

The air was also slashed by the sharp blades in the hands of the two young men whose angel blood was gradually revived, making a sharp whistling sound, and the air was broken by the cold light. Even for the top warriors of the Holy Land who did not use any extraordinary power, the easiest way at this time was to retreat backwards to avoid their sharp edge.

But Corea XIII's thin and old fingers just tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and his right leg stepped sideways and backward as a strong support point. The long sword in his hand moved at the same speed as the two young men, but at this moment, with exquisite force, he caused the heavy sword that was chopped down to deflect and hit the sharp blade that was chopped up diagonally.

“Clang!”

The two heavy weapons emitted a resonating sound under the guidance of the light and long sword. The recoil of the weapons made the two teenagers unable to hold the blades tightly in their hands almost at the same time. The blades shot out at the same time, and the two teenagers were also knocked back a few steps at the same time.

But the long sword in Corea XIII's hand seemed to have some kind of traction and sticky force. The tip of the sword only lightly touched the two weapons that were flying backwards, and the two heavy weapons carrying violent recoil force were knocked down in the air and stuck in front of the two young men who had just stood firm.

"It is a cause for celebration to have natural strength, but that is not a reason for you to rely solely on it."

Corea XIII walked up to the two young men with his standard long sword in hand and said calmly: "No matter what level of strong people are in the eyes of, pure brute force is not desirable."

"Perhaps you can rely on your innate strength to run rampant among a naturally weak race like humans, but you should know that there are many monsters stronger than humans in the world of Ekania."

The two young men looked at the old man in front of them with shame, speechless.

Corea XIII said: "I teach you not to make you feel ashamed, but to make you realize that humans need to rely on more skills when facing other more powerful races."

“Or rather, it’s the rhythm.”

"For ordinary people, if you want to defeat the opponent in a fight, you have to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, influence the opponent's rhythm with your own rhythm, disrupt the opponent's rhythm with your own rhythm, and make the opponent fall into your rhythm."

"But for those strong ones, the word rhythm can be replaced by rules." Corea XIII was about to continue speaking when he suddenly turned his head alertly, and the two young men showed curiosity in their eyes, and then curiosity turned into fear.

Standing on the high ground of the royal capital, one can see the end of the sky at the distant horizon. Heavy clouds of indescribable color are rolling in from the horizon, covering the entire sky.

In the eyes of Corea XIII, the incredible figure that suddenly appeared in the sky was the only one in the world.

The figure seemed to be flying in the heavy clouds of a tornado, and the strong winds were chasing the traces left by him as he swept across the sky.

That was the source of the storm, and the noisy tornado was his follower, supporting his body under his wings.

As the figure approached, a blood-red glow spread across the sky, illuminating the earth.

But dark clouds followed closely behind, and the sky flickered, becoming bright for an instant, and then was shrouded in darkness.

"Unfortunately, the world does not have much time left for the Kingdom of Corea, and the world does not have much time left for me either," Corea XIII's pale hair fluttered as he gave his orders to the guards hiding in the darkness in the distance.

"Take them with you and carry out the plan. I am the king of Koria and I will not leave!"

The entire capital of Coria was now filled with various legions of knights. In this city, the number of these knight legions alone was almost one-tenth of the population of the capital.

As the nominal strongest person in the Kingdom of Corea and also the most outstanding general, Winona Corea does not eat or live like the soldiers of the legion. She usually stays in her garrison and on the city wall defense line.

But every day the female general would personally patrol the city walls of the capital of Coria several times, and she would have to personally check every flaw in the city wall defense line to feel at ease.

At this time, female general Winona Corea, accompanied by her personal guards, was inspecting the magic defense energy nodes deployed on the city wall defense line.

Her high nose bridge and bright red lips also prevent people from simply seeing her as a gorgeous girl. Even her curvy figure and straight and round thighs wrapped in soft magic armor are not the reasons why many warriors admire her.

It was because of Winona Corea's personal charm that this legendary female general once aspired to revive the Kingdom of Corea's former glory.

It’s a pity that even in a world that pursues the path of power, as long as one does not possess overwhelming individual power, he or she will still be hindered and affected by various factors.

Winona Corea is outstanding enough and strong enough, and the Kingdom of Corea also has the foundation and national strength to revive again.

But no one could allow the revival of the Kingdom of Koria.

Thinking of this, the young female general sighed in her heart. The revival of the Kingdom of Koria was still in the distant future, but the destruction of the kingdom might be imminent.

Even though she was so outstanding and proud, she did not have the confidence that she could resist those monsters from the north.

But Winona never backed down because of such an idea. Even if she wanted to leave, no one in the Kingdom of Kolia could stop her.

Perhaps the armor on her body was too heavy, restricting her freedom.

This set of armor, which has been passed down for at least thousands of years, was once worn by Corea XIII. It served as a symbol of power over all the legions of the kingdom and a symbol of the military power of the Corea royal family. But now it is worn by the goddess of war Winona.

Perhaps it was because of Corea XIII's actions that the female general was willing to do so.

But the sky suddenly became bright, as if a sea of fire clouds was rolling towards here.

Then came the terrifying and breathtaking roar that made the female general and countless legionnaires look into the distance, their eyes raised uncontrollably.

That is, the Dragon Emperor.

There were continuous rumbling sounds, and it was obvious that with the red dragon's speed, the sound could not surpass that of the red dragon. It was as if the dragon was chasing after this terrifying giant dragon.

But these warriors could all hear the horrifying whistling of the wind between the scales, like the howling of thousands of demons in the abyss of hell. These warriors were even shaken by the strange tearing and twisting sensation and began to feel dizzy.

The scorching flames rapidly expanded in everyone's sight, as if it wanted to cover all the people in the capital of Koria in the scarlet flame that spanned the sky.

The terrifying waves brought by the flames that dyed the sky scarlet were like a rolling tide, and even the soldiers who were signaling could not shout out the two words "alert".

It was a rage so wild that it ignored all obstacles and enemies and wanted to smash everything in front of it.

Even the sound that came out from between the teeth of the legendary divine warrior Winona Corea at this moment began to tremble, even she herself could not detect.

"Why... why?"

Pale words burst out from the chattering teeth of the legendary female general, word by word. She didn't even receive any warning message, and the magic detection of the magicians of the Kingdom of Koria did not detect any movement.

But now the Dragon Emperor of the Northern Empire has arrived, and the capital of the Kingdom of Koria, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has been crashed by the Dragon Emperor of the Northern Empire.

In addition to the true dragon emperor, there are countless giant dragons!
Then a sharp voice came out from the mouth of this divine warrior, and Winona Corea's body suddenly rose from the ground, with three pairs of white wings spread out like white holy light. She wanted to use her own power to temporarily stop the terrifying True Dragon Emperor and buy time for the opening of the magic defense barrier of the entire Corea capital.

But even the speed of the legendary divine warrior could not match that of the ancestral dragon emperor. When Winona took off into the air, the terrifying dragon crashed directly into the city wall with a roar.

Rumble,
It seemed as if the whole world was shaking violently, and thunders of billions of pounds exploded in the ears of the people in the capital of Koria.

The city walls that were shattered into ashes and the flesh and blood bodies and armor that were smashed together turned into a surging air wave and exploded everywhere. Countless city wall fragments and huge stones were thrown into the sky, falling like torrential hail, directly penetrating the houses and buildings near the city walls.

At this moment, even the angel goddess Winona who rose into the air was covered by the raging scarlet flames, and her body was blown away like a leaf blown by the wind.

But the terrifying dragon did not stop. It crashed through the city wall, created a huge gap in the wall, and then flew straight towards the capital of Koria.

In front of this giant dragon, no buildings higher than its current height are allowed.

Amid the rumbling sound of continuous thunder, all the buildings in the city of Coria that were in front of the route of the giant dragon flying through the air were all knocked down and shattered.

This is a doomsday-like scene of destruction.

The entire sky and earth that the ancestral dragon flew over were crushed by this pure and unparalleled violence, just like the scarlet flames that illuminated the entire sky, revealing brutality and rage.

The strong winds stirred up by those huge wings were enough to blow away the people who were standing on the street and looking up in horror, and throw them into the walls, breaking their bones and hurting their tendons.

Rumble,
Karon Gogmora rushed forward until he came into sight of the Castle of King Koria, built on the Lonely Mountain.

boom,
The ancestral dragon instantly curbed its speed, and its heavy body crushed the Gothic-style private castle. Its huge claws were firmly inserted into the solid granite and cypress, overlooking the surroundings.

Countless guards, warriors and maids cried and ran away under the claws of the dragon, because it was a horrifying sight.

The castle built on the top of a solitary mountain is tall and narrow. The castle, which is more than 30 meters high, is high enough to overlook everything on the top of the mountain.

But the ferocious and majestic red dragon was thirty-two meters long from head to tail. With its wings slightly folded, its eighty-nine-meter-long wings covered the entire castle on the left and right.

The long and thick dragon tail hung down close to the ground, and the upright upper body was covered in scarlet flames, as if countless fine molten runes were constantly flowing in the gaps between the dragon's scales.

The red dragon Nero excitedly poked his head out from behind the left wing of the terrifying dragon, howling.

The blue dragon Xisa's calm face could not hide the excitement, and his wings, which seemed thin compared to the ancestor red dragon, could not help but spread out and glance in all directions.

Behemoth carefully revealed his little blond head from behind the red dragon, and he and the Floating Cloud Dragon Derrick beside him pointed at the countless humans who were shocked by fear below, mumbling something. No one knew what they were saying.

Amid the tender cries of the dragon chicks, Charon slowly raised his huge head that seemed to be cast in steel but had a flame-like base from a condescending posture, and opened his mouth to reveal his sharp fangs that were as long and thick as crescent moon hooks.

"Come down, now!"

Karon's ferocious blood-red eyes looked at the platinum holy sword that was restlessly stirring in the quiet cathedral of the Kingdom of Coria, and his voice was like the bursting of molten fire.
