I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

Although they didn't know the principle behind it, the three Dragon Slayers still went forward without fear, even without the aid of time stop.

But apart from Super Soldier Torukiro, the Mechanical Saintess and the Prison Saintess were eventually carried back to the Cult of the Sun God.

If it weren't for the Time Saintess Karula's ability to rewind time and heal them, they would have died on the battlefield.

During this battle, the Cult of the Sun also discovered that this madman truly hated their Time Saintess, Karula.

Originally, the two saintesses were bound to die, but Duanmu Lian was more interested in killing Karula, so she took this opportunity to let them escape.

"A wild madman like the [Thunder Beast]?"

Meanwhile, just as the Sun God Cult was having a headache because of Duanmu Lian, in the deepest part of Hell Valley, on an unknown floor...

On an observation deck overlooking the entire floor.

A man whose mouth was covered by a hideous mask and whose entire body was wrapped in a large trench coat that resembled both thick fog and shadow spoke to the heavily armored dragon in front of him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that person seems to have a grudge against the Holy Maiden of Time, Karula, of the Divine Cult, and is attacking the armies and bases where the Holy Maiden of Time resides..."

Heavy Armored Dragon Gargantina knelt on one knee before the man, respectfully reporting the intelligence she had gathered.

Moreover, the man before them was none other than the Dragon King of the Roaring Blood Clan, Yan Shilong Bagram.

Having fought a long war with the Sun God Cult, Hell Valley naturally paid close attention to matters concerning the Sun God Cult.

Therefore, they naturally paid close attention to the entity that was causing trouble for the Sun God Cult.

Yes, the other party is now referred to as the "Flame Demon" by the Sun God Cult.

The evil spirits and skeletons that appeared around the opponent when they attacked made them look like demons and rakshasas who had emerged from hell.

Those who fought against her and survived called Duanmu Lian a devil.

In addition, since the opponent frequently uses fire-based attacks, it was named "Flame Demon".

"Tina... is it possible for us to win over this [Flame Demon] who has a grudge against the Cult of the Sun? This human is so powerful; what might happen after he transforms into a dragon...?"

In this world, the Dragon King can gradually transform humans into beings of blood (high-ranking dragons) by sharing his blood with them.

Almost all high-ranking dragons evolved from humans.

When humans are transformed into dragons, they are brainwashed during the transformation process.

After transforming into a dragon, one's perspective on the world changes, much like a mental imprint or a god.

Therefore, Yan Shilong Bagram was somewhat inclined to recruit Duanmu Lian, this powerful human, as one of his vampires.

"My king, this is impossible!"

However, before her servant, the Dragon King Bagram, could finish speaking, Gargantina rejected his idea without hesitation.

In turn, Shilong Bagram calmly looked at the other party, not angry at being interrupted, but looking at him with his eyes, asking for a reasonable explanation.

Why not?

"The Flame Demon possesses a yang energy that differs from the silver energy. You probably cannot convert him into a vampire. Moreover, his yang energy poses a threat to us. Therefore, my suggestion is to eliminate him!"

Gargantina explained the reason to Bagram: she had been in contact with Duanmu Lian and had personally experienced the terrifying yang energy emanating from him.

Just getting a little closer felt like a moth drawn to a flame, approaching the sun, where it could melt into ashes at any moment.

If one tries to infect the Flame Demon with dragon blood, the dragon blood will likely evaporate the moment it touches the demon.

Therefore, Bagram's idea of ​​turning the Balrog into a vampire is simply not feasible.

With such power targeting their demon bloodline, that Fiery Demon must be destroyed.

"I see, then..."

After listening to his subordinate's explanation, Bagram said he understood and was about to agree with the suggestion to eliminate the Balrog when a violent disturbance interrupted him.

boom! ! ! !

The deafening explosion reached the deepest part of Hell Valley, and the entire valley trembled two or three times along with it.

"what happened?"

Sensing the disturbance, Bagram immediately stood up and began to ask his subordinates questions telepathically.

[My King, that mad Balrog who attacked the Cult of the Sun God has broken in—Wa ...

"Lupo! Lupo!!!"

The voice that responded to Bagram's superior dragon, the Phantom Mist Dragon Rubova, suddenly turned into a scream.

This immediately enraged Bagram. He could feel the pain of his subordinates and sense that the life of the Illusion Mist Dragon was rapidly fading away!

Damn!

The sudden attack by the Balrog ignited Bagram's murderous intent and rage.

I was talking to Gargantina about that guy when he unexpectedly came to my door.

If the Illusionary Mist Dragon dies, he will definitely kill it!

Chapter Twenty-Six: Word Magic, Primordial Light Technique!

"The world is finally much quieter."

Beside Hell Valley, Duanmu Lian, standing atop a towering stone pillar resembling fangs, watched as the world before her eyes finally stopped its 'stuttering' time-stopping motion, and her overall mental state improved considerably.

Although time still stops, at least it won't happen hundreds or thousands of times a day like before.

He wasn't a particularly irritable person to begin with, but unfortunately, someone kept using time-stopping techniques to provoke him.

He gained no benefit from launching an attack on the Sun God Cult.

Duanmu Lian, who had done such a willful thing, reflected on herself, but felt no regret whatsoever.

Now that he has fallen out with the Sun God Cult, he needs to temporarily shift his attention to the other side.

"The Roaring Blood Clan... as their name suggests, are skilled at using 'word magic' to fight. Although it's troublesome... using sound to activate magical phenomena is a way to target them..."

Looking down into the bottomless Hell Canyon, Duanmu Lian pondered the strengths and weaknesses of the Roaring Blood Clan.

He's been attacking the Sun God Cult's bases for a while now, and he hasn't just been killing people.

They also collected a lot of the remains of the Time Saintess Karula for research, and obtained a lot of information about the Roaring Blood Clan from the Sun God Cult.

By observing Hell Valley as their base and the enemy's attack methods, Duanmu Lian discerned some of the Roaring Vampire Dragon King's personality traits.

That means the other party is probably quite cautious.

To deal with a cautious opponent, unless you can overwhelm them with pure brute force, you have no choice but to be even more cautious than them.

Duanmu Lian came to Hell Valley to hunt high-ranking dragons.

If given the chance, he would like to hunt the Dragon King; if that's not possible, he would at least take some materials from it.

"There are two publicly feasible plans, three contingency plans, and five evacuation plans... Action!"

After devising a plan of action in her mind, Duanmu Lian's supernatural powers vanished in a flash, and she plummeted towards Hell Valley like a falling bullet.

During his fall, a fine layer of supernatural power appeared on his body, causing his entire body to distort and disappear completely.

Even the sounds and breaths vanished as if they had never existed.

This is the original light technique, a superior skill derived from the Divine Foot Technique—Lian Zhen!

This footwork technique, named after the fifth star of the Big Dipper, is a footwork that can perfectly sever the connection between sound and breath.

It is very suitable for infiltration and surprise attacks.

Hell Valley is hundreds of kilometers deep and is divided into at least four levels.

Its interior is a dragon's lair, densely packed with dragons, with each level having a completely different ecological environment.

Moreover, each deep level is guarded by a high-ranking dragon.

........

The rock walls on both sides of Hell Valley are covered with sharp spikes, making them look like aerial platforms for footholds.

Duanmu Lian fell for only a few seconds before using these platforms as footholds to begin her slow descent.

He quickly and successfully passed through the outermost layer of the lower-ranking dragon herd without being detected by any of them.

After reaching a depth of over one kilometer, we immediately entered the Nest of the Mist Dragon, guarded by a superior dragon.

The area is filled with incredibly thick fog, and once the view was clear, visibility was reduced to less than three meters.

Duanmu Lian, who was in stealth mode, stopped descending and, after finding a foothold, began to observe her surroundings.

According to information obtained from the Sun God Cult, the mist in the first level of Hell Valley's Mist Dragon Nest is not natural, but rather created by a high-ranking dragon.

The fog here is all poisonous fog with strong hallucinogenic effects.

Duanmu Lian, who had been holding her breath, tried to take a light breath, and then quickly began to circulate the power of the Nine Deaths Evil Technique to dissipate it.

Before long, after learning about this hallucinogenic toxic mist, Duanmu Lian produced antibodies in her own body.

"In that direction..."

Having prepared herself, Duanmu Lian looked at the vast number of flying dragons around her and locked onto the direction of a target that was exhibiting a strong life force.

The high-ranking dragon that manages the Mist Dragon's Nest is called [Rubowa], also known as [Phantom Mist Dragon].

Now, what stands before Duanmu Lian is a dragon in human form.

The other person was lying leisurely on a giant snake, with a platter of human limbs and organs placed within arm's reach beside them.

Pfft!

The Phantom Mist Dragon Rubova was enjoying a leisurely time in his territory, lying on the snake's back with one hand holding a book and reading.

With his other hand, he took a severed human leg from the plate, put it in his mouth, and began to tear and chew it, meat and bone together.
