Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 152 - Finished Work, Back to Nain
They're gone.

They fled in a disheveled manner, much like rats scurrying away with their heads in their hands.

All the demons, all the armies, all the spies and scouts lurking in the shadows, all fled at that moment, leaving this shattered battlefield to Wu Chen's hands.

Wu Chen glanced in the direction of the great tomb.

He raised his hand and made a move out of thin air. The head of the Dragon Queen, which had fallen due to Demiurge's severe injury, was captured by the tide of willpower and absorbed into Wu Chen's hand. His gaze scrutinized the head, the flames of the young god's will flickering, and he noticed a wailing soul on the crown nailed to the skull.

It seems Demiurge is in a hurry.

This means that the Dragon Queen is very lucky.

He stepped back, and his figure returned to the Great Wall in a dimensional shift—no one could hear his final exchange with Ainz, and everyone just watched him, expecting him to say something that could be considered the definitive conclusion to this war.

However, Wu Chen ignored them.

He simply raised his hand, causing the head to float in the air. A white cloak was then captured by his mind and wrapped around the Dragon Queen's neck.

Fifth-tier magic: Resurrection.

The power of will gathered, making up for the potentially lacking experience points, and used them as material to reshape the Dragon Queen's body. The crown that had been nailed into her bones fell away silently, and the wailing soul returned to her newborn body.

She opened her eyes.

The confusion in her eyes turned into sadness in an instant.

At the opportune moment, Kalja stepped forward and opened her arms to her. The next moment, the mature dragon queen, who was not as petite as she was known to the public, cried out and rushed into Kalja's arms.

"Kalja! Everyone...everyone is dead! Those demons...they destroyed the Dragon Kingdom!"

“Those demons come from a place called the Great Tomb of Nazarick. They claim to be enemies of dragons.” Wu Chen’s voice was calm, but it followed up on the Dragon Queen’s words. “The demon king comes from a place I know. He has a very powerful army under his command, and his attitude towards mortals is not good—but I have already taught them a lesson, and they won’t dare to cause trouble for a while.”

“Your Majesty the Regent…” The Dragon Queen recognized him, her lips trembling as she tried to speak. However, at that moment, Wu Chen had already raised his hand.

"The battle is over," he said, his voice echoing across the great walls. "Dragons and demons alike have been defeated. Light the fires and prepare a feast. Today, we celebrate our victory."

Cheers erupted.

Regardless, the garrison on the high walls, and the people of the Holy Kingdom who watched the battlefield through mirroring magic, all knew of this magnificent victory on the border—the demi-humans on the hills had been annihilated, and powerful dragons had fallen like rain. The Regent had promised that prosperity and peace were on the horizon for the kingdom, and as for those powerful demons that had brought calamity, hadn't they already retreated?
And so, the sea of ​​celebration surged once more, drowning out the distant sorrow.

........................

Wu Chen returned to Kalinxia.

He returned to his throne, to his royal chambers.

Karja and the others were handling things outside; all he wanted was some peace and quiet. And now, no one would bother or disturb him.

So he closed his eyes.

His true dream world instantly enveloped the palace halls. Beside the throne, Xizi's lifeless automaton body lay slumped.

—【Magical Automaton—Originally a battle maid from the Great Tomb of Nazarick, it lost its functions after being defeated. It can be reactivated by injecting magical energy, but be careful; if its internal data is not rewritten before activation, it may lead to unexpected dangers.】

——[To purchase this item, you need to pay 4000 resource points and 2 level 1 purchase voucher.]

This is Xizi. Killing her yields 3000 points, plus a Level 2 certificate. Wu Chen permanently acquired her from the Great Tomb of Nazarick by directly purchasing her physical form. Unfortunately, she'll probably be of little use in the short term.

It was also an unexpected bonus—Wu Chen originally only intended to use the young god's soul-devouring ability to fake a high-level instant-death attack. However, he hadn't expected that the battle maid of this great tomb could also drop gold coins outside of the battle. So he simply went with the flow. And now it seems the effect was quite good?

"call……"

My heart is pounding.

Only when he returned to the secret chamber, back to the dream world, could his tense emotions finally be released—heaven knows how nervous he was deep down when he threw Antema to Ainz. After all, the absolute defense provided by the 'Heavenly Shield Armor' had already failed the moment he executed Shiz.

Thankfully, I managed to fool him. Before resorting to my backup plan of using a dimensional barrier to lower my prestige, I succeeded. Thankfully, after so much experience, I've developed a certain air of authority and forged a fairly strong heart. I also need to know Suzuki Satoru well enough to understand just how powerful his imagination truly is. And after exhausting almost all my resources, I finally managed to deceive him.

——No martial ethics!
He had indeed guessed that Demiurge would join the fray. But he truly hadn't anticipated such a massive operation. He had originally thought he would most likely only be fighting a single wrathful demon general, but he never expected Demiurge to lead his entire demon army to slaughter the Dragon Kingdom before joining the Holy Kingdom's battlefield!

Damn it! Wasn't Suzuki Satoru supposed to be a coward and a weakling, and at least retain a shred of humanity in the early stages?! How dare he just parachute in and create a powerful force, slaughter an entire kingdom, and then bring hundreds of thousands of skulls and a massive army to the border?!

Aren't you afraid the World Guardians will just come and block your home?!
Skull pain.

I was even a little scared afterwards.

If the weapon box hadn't worked, Wu Chenchen would probably have been in a very awkward position—fortunately, his analysis of Suzuki Satoru's personality hadn't completely failed him, and he did have enough cards to play. He managed to stall until his opponent collapsed first.

I almost ended up having to slink back to Nirn in frustration, with zero income from the failed battle.

Fortunately, he ultimately won the battle—when Ainz ran away with Demiurge, the score announcement finally echoed in Wuchen's ears.

——【赢得‘龙与恶魔之战’的胜利。获取资源点数20000点，1级购买凭证4枚，2级购买凭证2枚，3级购买凭证1枚。】

The results were substantial.

It wasn't a complete waste of time.

So……

"Buy the mage's treasure first."

When the treasure chest and spellbook provided by Fluda caught Wu Chen's eye, he immediately bought them. Leaving aside the notes and insights, simply filling the spellbook, plus the portion he acquired in the Holy King's Ruins, ultimately cost 3500 resource points plus a Level 1 purchase voucher.

Bought!

then……

—【Purchase the Advanced Class: Celestial Radiance—Gain mastery of all weapons, Flowing Water Aerial Control, Celestial Radiance Shield, and other abilities, as well as significant boosts to physique and reaction parameters. Requires 10000 resource points and one Level 3 purchase voucher.】

"Keep buying!"

A large sum of money was spent, but Wu Chen didn't feel any changes in his body. Tianyao had become a part of him for a long time, and this power, even if it returned, would not be left on this land with the changing of the world.

then……

"Purchase spells to steal and transfer."

The entire Super Spellcaster class cannot be purchased. However, the Super Spellcaster's skills can still be used. Use one Level 2 token to buy Spell Transfer, then use the remaining three Level 1 tokens to buy Spell Enhancement, Spell Guidance, and Upgrade techniques. The last remaining Level 2 token can only be used on the Corrupted Crown.

Just a moment.

He was honest and upright.

Wu Chen looked at his palm and clenched his fist.

"Transform!"

The ancient green dragon suddenly transformed, and Wu Chen could even sense a trace of the forest dragon's power gathering deep within its body, held back. Undoubtedly, this power far surpassed that of the previously transformed old golden dragon.

Ten new creature ranks have been added: five Elder Dragons and five Ancient Dragons. This aligns with the tiered system of this world. And when it opened its mouth and exhaled its dragon breath, what burst forth was a blazing green light burst unique to legendary dragon species.

There shouldn't be anything missing. Staying any longer only increases the chances of our claims being exposed.

Wu Chen returned to his original form and straightened his clothes. He thought for a moment, then unleashed another 'Hero's Feast' to treat himself to a good meal. And then…

“Go back,” he said to the dream.
