It cannot allow Fafnya to continue developing.
The dragon race can only have one king, and Fafnya will surely devour it in the future.
Therefore, Callistos directly revealed Fafnya's identity to all races.
In a previous life, Fafnya had devoured Irene once. After becoming an adult dragon, she traveled alone to the North. But on that occasion, Fafnya transformed into a giant dragon, attracting Callistos to hunt her down.
In that previous life, Callistos mistakenly believed that Faphnia had still devoured Irene in her dragon form, so he did not reveal her identity to the other races.
After all, it also wanted to devour Fafnya.
However, nowadays, no matter which anchor point Fafnya chooses, her ability to enhance her strength in human form will be exposed, since she has never appeared in dragon form during the period of enhancing her strength.
Irene cupped her face in her hands and murmured to herself, "Faphnia is the next queen. If I could kill her, or... transform her into my confidante, it would be so wonderful... so wonderful."
"Sir, should this news be kept secret?"
“Of course. Right now, all the world’s strongest people want to kill Faphnia. It would be such a pity if she were captured. Don’t tell the humans about this. Just tell them that I will personally take action and that they will mobilize their entire nation to cooperate with my operation. If that princess dies, she dies. We can always find another one. We must capture Faphnia alive.”
"Yes, my lord!"
"You handle the elves and dwarves as well. In any case, I must capture Fafnya alive."
This incarnation of Eleanor is more steadfast than in her previous incarnations.
She offered generous terms to urge humans, dwarves, and elves to act swiftly.
At the same time, she also released the monster she had modified.
Giant insect [Charhurut].
In this life, instead of the long three-year wait, only three months passed before the allied forces assembled on the outskirts of the forest.
This is a campaign to subdue the dragon, and the troops sent are all elite forces from the natural disaster zone. There is no need to mobilize a large army, so logistical supplies do not need to be prepared for a long time.
With Irene personally taking action, her tenth-ring magic was enough to withstand the adult dragon Faphnia, so everyone was full of confidence and did not need to prepare for long.
However, Fafnya has now evolved into the [Primal Dragon Heart], which allows her to directly break through Irene's tenth ring magic.
This is something that no one but Lott could possibly know.
In three months, all 12 of Lotte's spells were analyzed.
He can now study dragon magic.
Chapter 178 The King of the Future World
The news that Faphnia was the daughter of Callistos quickly spread throughout the world.
Thousands of years ago, Callistos, who possessed the ability to devour and evolve, survived the relentless pursuit of the entire world and eventually became the king of the dragons, becoming the only legendary creature among them.
If one can kill Fafnya, who possesses the ability of [Devouring Evolution], then one will receive a tremendous boost in strength, breaking through the long-standing bottleneck in one's power.
Outside the Dragon Forest, a human camp.
The numerous stars in the night sky illuminated the ground, making the campfire seem almost superfluous.
The warhorse was tethered not far away, and occasionally one could hear its heavy snorting.
Further away was the dwarf camp. The group of bearded dwarves weren't drinking; instead, they sat around a fire, speaking in a language humans couldn't understand.
The elf scouts stood in the trees, hidden in the forest, constantly watching the location of the two dragons.
Meanwhile, the core leader of the allied forces, Lord Eldaran of the orcs, was resting in a tent at the rear.
Lady Leona of House Valgard felt much more at ease watching this scene at the camp.
She kept polishing the sword blade with dwarven runestones, stopping every now and then to drip a few drops of sword oil onto it, and then the sound of "shh-shh" would echo through the human camp.
The battle to subdue the dragon is about to begin.
Leona had heard rumors that they were about to face the future king of the dragons.
Just how strong is the King?
According to information, the dragon named Fafnya only has the strength of an adult dragon.
The power disparity between natural disasters was too great, so humans classified them into detailed power levels based on the growth stages of the dragon race.
The growth path of dragons is very clear: from a young dragon, they grow into a progenitor dragon, and finally challenge the Old King to become the Dragon God and enter the legend.
A gentle night breeze ruffled Leona's hair as she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand.
Are you nervous?
Leona looked up and saw Green sitting beside her.
“Father, I’m not nervous.”
"Stop lying, haha." Grin rubbed Leanna's head. "I'm your father, how could I not know your expression? It's really unexpected, I've never seen you so nervous before."
Grin, a branch lord of House Valgard, also personally led his troops to attack this time.
"Don't worry. The strength of this team is unlike anything I've ever seen before." Grin looked around the camp. "Dwarves, elves, and an Eldaran. That's enough to take down Callistos."
“Father, this is only enough to deal with one adult dragon.” Leanna shook her head. “The preparation time is still too short. After all, there is another sub-adult dragon in the forest. We should wait another three months to a year to gather enough troops.”
“They probably want a quick victory. One Eldaran should be enough to stop Fafnya’s attack, and we can just rush in while they’re at it.”
Green took out a wine jug and placed it in front of Leona. "Want a sip?"
"No need, Father. We will attack at dawn."
Green took several sips and sighed contentedly. "Don't worry. If anything happens, just hide behind me!"
"Your father is already an old man, it's better if I stand in front of you."
"Ha ha ha ha."
As the father and daughter chatted, it grew darker and darker.
As the time drew ever closer, the conversations within the Allied camp grew quieter and quieter.
Everyone felt uncertain.
Just how powerful is that new king?
But deep down, everyone was also eager to try.
They didn't know how strong Fafnya was, but they knew how strong Eldaran was.
One Eldaran is more than enough to deal with Fafnya.
"(Elf language) It's time, everyone get ready! Wake up the guys sleeping in the camp!"
"(Dwarven) We're exhausted. With Eldaran here, why do we have to make our move before dawn? Let's fight in broad daylight."
"(Elf language) What are those stinking stones saying? Do they really think Lord Eldaran is their servant?"
"Valgard's men, assemble here! Let the elves and dwarves go first, we'll follow behind!"
Leona slept for a few hours and now has a bit of a headache.
She rubbed her head as she got up, drew the sword from its scabbard for a final check, and after confirming that it was correct, she swiftly put the sword back into its scabbard.
The servant brought Leona an mithril enchanted armor, equipped with three purple talents, possessing the effects of [Dragon Damage Reduction], [Life Drain], and [Mana Perception].
The four rings on her hands provide her with a boost to strength and health, and also grant her a chance for a quick heal.
Necklaces and even earrings provide significant attribute bonuses.
Leona placed her hand on her underarm nail, listening to her own breathing.
She drew her sword with her right hand and aimed it at the Dragon Forest.
The Valgard family members gathered around. Standing at the very front was the branch lord, Grin.
The forest in the dark place is waiting for the clarion call of attack.
"(Elf language) Let's go! Follow the scouts closely!"
Leona took a deep breath and followed Green in front of her into the forest.
The darkness before dawn made the forest pitch black, and if it weren't for the [Magic Perception] attached to her armor, Leona wouldn't even be able to see the road ahead.
There was no wind in the Dragon Forest, and the air was very stuffy. After walking only a few steps, Leona felt uncomfortable all over.
In the procession, the dwarves were at the front, followed by the humans, with the elves standing on either side.
The elf scouts darted in and out of Leona's sight, disappearing very quickly.
According to the intelligence analysis, Fafnya should be located in the central part of the Dragon Forest, and the two will have to wait a while before they meet.
If all goes well, Leona's team should be able to sneak up on Fafnya and ambush her.
Leona had no idea how long she had been walking.
She forced herself to stay awake, but felt very thirsty and wanted to drink water.
She picked up the water bottle, lifted her mask, and was about to drink when she suddenly heard an explosion in the distance.
The people in the procession quickly crouched down, and the dwarves and elves stared intently ahead.
What was chilling was that the distant explosion lasted for a full minute!
It's absolutely impossible for a dragon to keep casting magic for that long!
Are there other dragons in the forest?
The ground began to shake, and even Leona's hands shook along with it.
"Roar--!"
A loud noise came from behind me.
Several giant insects called "Shahrhurt," which had been waiting in the distance, burrowed into the ground and surged toward the location of the explosion.
The shockwave ripped up the ground, and Leona was even lifted onto a small hill-like mound.
This is a modified monster brought by the orc race of Eldaran.
Now that the attack has been exposed, we should quickly switch to a full-scale offensive.
Leona saw a small dot in the distance; it was the returning elf scout.
"(Elf language) Fafnya is here! Fafnya is here! Fafnya..."
A pink light flashed in the darkness in the distance, and the elf scout disappeared.
The team tensed instantly. Leona controlled her breathing and raised her sword.
With so many people, even Fafnya wouldn't charge in headfirst.
"Roar--!!"
A dragon's roar echoed in the air, shattering people's illusions.
Lotte spread his wings, and after sensing that his magic had been fully restored, he took a deep breath and looked down at the crowd.
Chapter 179 The Queen of the Forest
The night sky flashed.
A very thin beam of white light pierced the ground, leaving only a deep, reddish crater.
After a brief and eerie silence, the ground beneath Leona's feet began to pound wildly, as if she were standing on the heart of a giant sleeping deep underground.
Blinding golden light shot out from the cracks in the surrounding earth, and the soil even began to melt.
"Spread out! Spread out!"
The expeditionary force consists of at least hero-level members, and their reactions are very quick.
Just as they dodged, the ground, unable to withstand the terrifying power of the dragon magic, suddenly exploded from below!
Three pillars of fire shot into the sky with a deafening roar, followed by the expansion of a massive mushroom cloud.
The rocks on the ground crystallized instantly, emitting a burnt smell and a highly toxic stench.
The mage's barrier quickly lit up around them, protecting Leona and the others.
But just five seconds later, before the pillars of fire and the mushroom cloud on the ground could even dissipate, the dragon in the sky cast its second spell, and the white beam of light carrying the wailing of death pierced the ground once more.
"Continuous release?!"
