Inside the Dragon Riding Academy, Rebecca, upon hearing Veronica's words, immediately turned around and asked, "What? It's about to begin, Your Highness! Do you know the inside story behind this terrifying sight in the sky?"

However, Veronica simply said, "Kind knight, if you want to save people, go and evacuate the people now."

"Please tell me the details later, Your Highness."

"Will do."

Veronica smiled as she watched Rebecca and the student council members leave Dragon Rider Academy.

Just then, the dean of the Dragon Riding Academy, who was standing nearby, heard Veronica and Rebecca's conversation and said in a panic, "Your Highness, shouldn't we hide too?"

Upon hearing this, Veronica's smile vanished instantly, and she addressed the crowd with a serious expression:

"Hiding? Is this how you call yourselves dragon riders of the Knights Kingdom? If you're cowards, just find a mouse hole to hide in. But if you're dragon riders, face the enemies that are about to appear!"

"The First Dragon Knight Legion of Loreiamon, heed my command!"

"Yes--"

"All personnel mount up and take to the air to defend against the enemy!"

Seeing this, Bai Zhe slowly got up from his seat and said, "Keep an eye on the situation in the city. I'll go check on Sylvia's side."

As Veronica nodded, Bai Zhe slightly opened his mouth, and then a sublime incantation resounded in the gale, causing countless golden lights to emerge from the ground.

"O greedy beast! Dragon born of darkness, serpent symbolizing immortality! Awaken from your golden dream!"

The next second, a black firestorm rose from the ground, and a pair of huge claws emerged from the storm, tearing the flames apart and revealing the true form hidden within.

A black evil dragon with a body length of over thirty meters, its body covered in obsidian-like scales, its appearance majestic and ferocious, its mouth wreathed in black flames, and a pair of burning golden eyes like Bai Zhe's!

"What is that?"

"A Holy Dragon? But why don't I sense any Holy Dragon power from it? Instead, there's a terrifying aura!"

"This is absolutely a completely new discovery! Is it a new kind of dragon? How exciting!"

Among the members of the Human Lord Sheep, a mature woman with long brown hair, wearing a white coat and glasses, looked at the evil dragon who was bowing his head to Bai Zhe with great curiosity.

"Wait, Professor Angela, don't get agitated! That person is Her Highness the Princess's husband! You absolutely mustn't provoke him!!"

Seeing this, Veronica teased Bai Zhe, "Wow, I didn't expect you could not only turn into a dragon, but also summon it. That's an enviable power."

Bai Zhe ignored the commotion in the crowd, simply smiled at the First Princess, and then went up to the top of the Evil Dragon's head.

Just as the evil dragon was about to flap its wings, Cosette suddenly stepped forward and pleaded with the Demon King:

"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty Bai Zhe. Please take me with you. I am also worried about the princess's condition!"

"Come up."

“Thank you for your understanding.”

After curtsying, the girl boarded the dragon's back.

Immediately at Bai Zhe's command, the evil dragon flapped its wings, stirring up a whirlwind on the ground and riding the storm toward the distant Aries Palace.

Shortly after Bai Zhe left with Cosette, three bolts of lightning struck the cloudy sky.

Immediately afterwards, three giant dragons, covered in rotting flesh and covered in glasses, appeared in the city as if they had crawled out of a coffin, and began to wreak havoc!

That was an incomplete product researched by the Empire from ancient artifacts. It was a dragon that was originally dead that was forcibly resurrected and then made to show an angry posture of destroying everything - the Corpse Ash Dragon!

Only the Celestial Dragon Paladin can defeat it alone.

If left unchecked, it is a dangerous weapon capable of turning a city to ashes in a short time!

Meanwhile, at the Aries Palace, two bolts of lightning struck from the overcast sky, followed by two corpse dragons appearing before the palace, blocking Sylvia's path.

"Damn it, what is this thing?"

Faced with the endless malice emanating from the Corpse Dragon towards the living, Sylvia, sitting on Lancelot, not only rubbed her arms but also felt a chill run down her spine.

But the chill was only temporary. Soon the girl mustered her courage, gripped the reins tightly, and urged the holy dragon beneath her to attack the ash dragon in front of her!

"We agreed to win... Lancelot, defeat it!!"

As the girl finished speaking, the Holy Dragon opened its mouth and unleashed the dragon race's strongest attack—Dragon Breath!

The white dragon breath, imbued with holy properties, struck the Ash Dragon like a laser beam, causing considerable damage but also enraging it.

As the decaying gray dragon let out a deafening roar, a chill ran down Sylvia's spine once more, but to keep her promise to Bai Zhe, she still ordered Lancelot to continue the attack.

However, this time the effect was minimal, and it even prompted the Ash Dragon to launch an attack.

Although Sylvia used her aerial advantage to dodge the attacks of the two corpse dragons, one of them flew towards Ash, who was not far behind her, while the other landed on Jessica's head on the waterway further away.

Upon seeing this, Sylvia immediately turned her head and saw where the two attacks had landed, and immediately cried out in alarm.

"'Oh no!'"

Faced with the sudden attack, Ash, who possessed the Holy Dragon, naturally constructed the most powerful defensive magic, and barely managed to escape unscathed.

However, upon seeing this, Jessica instinctively raised her arm and closed her eyes in the face of the attack.

The girl wasn't the only one making this gesture; several others followed closely behind her.

This is a normal phenomenon that arises when people face death out of fear!

Meanwhile, the students from the Dragon Riding Academy, further away, stopped their pursuit and could only watch helplessly as the tragedy was about to unfold...

Just a second before the Ash Dragon's attack landed on Jessica and the others, a gust of wind fell from the sky, whipping up a storm on the ground and causing the water to boil.

Under the strong winds, the Corpse Ash Dragon's attack was deflected hundreds of meters away, causing a series of explosions!

Hearing the explosion but not feeling any pain, Jessica opened her eyes in confusion and saw a dark, evil dragon flying less than a hundred meters above them, and a black-haired man standing on the dragon's head.

Immediately afterwards, Jessica heard the other person ask, "Are you alright?"

“You are all treasures to me that can grow, and it would be a shame to destroy you in a place like this.”

Under the gaze of those burning golden eyes, like dragon's pupils, the orange-haired girl gently shook her head. His handsome appearance, noble temperament, and the fact that he had saved her life made her feel her heart pounding as she placed her hands on her chest.

Even after the evil dragon flew away, the girl was still in a daze.

Chapter Eighteen: Confident Sylvia! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

Upon seeing Jessica and the others rescued, Sylvia, who had been worried about the attack landing on the girl's head because she had dodged it, instantly showed a relieved expression after seeing the Ash Dragon's attack blown away.

Upon seeing the evil dragon that flew from the academy standing with Bai Zhe, the girl's face showed surprise and joy.

"Bai Zhe...Brother!!"

However, before the girl could even feel happy, her icy blue eyes saw the black dragon beneath the other's feet, its mouth full of sharp teeth opening towards her.

The next second, the roar turned into a gale, causing Ash, who was in the path of the storm, to quickly grab the reins and fly to the side. Sylvia, seeing this, showed an incredulous expression and froze on the spot.

Only when the gale swept past her and the holy dragon beneath her did the girl find herself unharmed in the storm.

When she turned her head, she realized that the Corpse Ash Dragon, which had been a thousand meters away from her, was now almost upon her.

Bai Zhe's attack just now blew the opponent away, and while pressing down on a small patch of forest, it also created a cloud of dust!

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhe rode the evil dragon to Lancelot's side and said to the golden-haired princess on the dragon's back:

"Although I know my arrival will surprise you, 000 should also be a little more careful about your surroundings."

Upon hearing this, Sylvia gripped the reins tightly, her face filled with shame. Like a wilted eggplant, she hung her head and replied, "Yes, I will definitely be more careful next time."

Immediately afterward, the girl glanced at the pitch-black evil dragon beneath Bai Zhe's feet—a dragon that even the holy dragon beneath him feared—and asked:

"Speaking of which, is this Holy... Dragon, the same Pal that you have, Brother Bai Zhe? It's enormous! Even the Crimson Empress's dragons aren't this big..."

In response to the girl's question, Bai Zhe explained half-jokingly, "If my Pal is to hatch, it will need a lot of Star Essence, and I might need your help, Sylvia."

"As for the evil dragon beneath my feet, it is merely a creation of my power."

Upon hearing this, the blonde princess placed one hand on her chest and said confidently, "Is that so... If Brother Bai Zhe needs anything, I will definitely help!"

At the same time, Cosette, who was on the back of the evil dragon, climbed to a higher position and asked Sylvia with concern, "Your Highness, are you injured?"

"I am fine."

Sylvia naturally wouldn't ignore the concern shown to her as she would to ordinary students in the academy, but instead turned around to face the person directly and responded.

Then he expressed his confusion as to why the girl had come.

"But Cosette, what brings you here? It's dangerous here."

Most importantly, although Cosette is very strong in individual combat, she doesn't have Pal, so she's not even cannon fodder in a battle of this level.

Sylvia was most concerned that her only friend was injured!

Seeing the anxious look on the blonde princess's face, Cosette gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Of course I was worried about Your Highness's safety, which is why I specifically asked His Majesty Bai Zhe to bring me here."

Upon hearing this, Sylvia's face naturally showed a touched expression.

"Oh, I see... I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It's nothing, your safety is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, Cosette shook his head, then looked at the two Ash Dragons that had been blown away by the Evil Dragon under Bai Zhe's feet and stood up again, revealing a surprised expression.

"But now is not the time for idle chatter. To be able to stand up again after taking His Majesty's attack just now, what kind of monster is this!"

You should know that the attack just now completely overturned the forests and land along the way, creating a path at least a kilometer long!

Logically speaking, even if the Holy Dragon took this hit, it would definitely be badly injured, but the Corpse Dragon was able to stand up again.

At the same time, Ash, who had flown away to avoid the evil dragon's attack, also flew over on his holy dragon.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to assist you, though you may not need it."

"Brave warrior, are you interested in working for Veronica's Dragon Legion after graduation?"

"Eh?"

Faced with Bai Zhe's sudden invitation under these circumstances, both Sylvia and Ash expressed their doubts.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe spoke again: "No need to answer in a hurry. You are of the Holy Grail bloodline, right? And there's no need to deny it in a hurry. It was the Dragon Mother who recognized the source of your bloodline."

“To tell you the truth, my Pal needs a considerable amount of Star Essence to hatch from the Star Engraving, but the dragon race can no longer absorb Star Essence from nature. So, to ensure her safe hatching, the Dragon Mother and I chose another method, which is to transfer it through the human body.”

"In this approach, there are requirements for the candidates. Ideally, they should be people with the potential to become Holy Dragon Knights or those with the bloodline of the Holy Grail."

"You are the Holy Grail, and your sister is naturally the Holy Grail as well, which is why I've set my sights on her!"

"After today, Veronica will send someone to invite your sister to the academy. All you need to do then is to persuade her to come. These two points are not to be refused."

"In return, I can grant you one reasonable request."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ash fell silent. Sylvia, however, frowned slightly and said, "What are you still hesitating about? You've come across such a good deal, why don't you just agree!"

However, Ash retorted sharply, "This concerns my sister's future! How could I possibly make a decision for her so easily?!"

Bai Zhe, atop the Evil Dragon, watched as magic circles flashed behind the Corpse Ash Dragon not far away, then glanced at Ash.

"I'll give you some time to think. Give me your answer after I've dealt with the Corpse Ash Dragon."

After having Cosette ride a holy dragon alongside Sylvia on the dragon's back, he directly controlled the evil dragon and arrived above the two corpse-ash dragons in the next second. He descended with the force of Mount Tai, breaking the magical pre-cast animation of the two corpse-ash dragons and pressing them to the ground.

The dragon claws, already sharp enough to crush rocks and steel like tofu, pierced through the chests of the two corpse dragons, which were covered in mud, and touched the ground behind them.

However, from the chest of the Corpse Ash Dragon, which had been pierced by the Evil Dragon's grip, countless tentacles extended and crawled up the Evil Dragon's arm, as if trying to drag it into hell.

"Its defense is weak, as fragile as tofu."

"But it is perfectly suited as a weapon!"

The Corpse Ash Dragon, with its immortality, is sure to bring terror to the battlefield.

"Alright, your work is done. As a reward, let me send you back to dust with this one blow."

As Bai Zhe finished speaking, orange-red flames ignited in the evil dragon's mouth, and countless sparks fell from its mouth.

If even a tiny spark touches the Ash Dragon, the regenerating tentacles that could normally emerge from its body are instantly burned to ashes.

Immediately afterwards, witnessed by Sylvia and the others, as flames spewed from the evil dragon's mouth, a sun rose from the ground, piercing through the dark clouds.
