Chapter 254, 253: Dragon Blood, Terrifyingly Powerful! Strength Soars!

The far north continent.

Frey folded her wings and slowly descended from the leaden-gray sky.

The moment her feet touched the ice, a chilling cold air seeped into her clothes, making her shiver and immediately pull her coat tighter around herself.

As far as the eye could see, there was only eternal stillness, with the biting wind howling endlessly, whipping up countless ice crystals.

This is a forbidden zone for life, with temperatures constantly dropping to minus 120 degrees Celsius. Only the truly strong can survive here.

She looked up at the magnificent castle before her, almost entirely constructed of blue and white ice blocks—the White Ice Palace.

This is the only hope she can currently think of that might turn the situation around.

"Although we don't know much about Guy's specific personality, he is, after all, the most powerful demon king and bears the responsibility of maintaining the balance of the world."

Frey pondered to herself, "That human has mastered a powerful weapon that can instantly cripple or even kill a demon king. This is undoubtedly a huge threat to the existing order."

"Qi Yi—surely he wouldn't be without a plan, would he?"

Filled with trepidation and anticipation, she took a deep breath of the cold air and stepped inside.

The castle's interior was also a world of icy blue. As soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw a woman already waiting there.

The other person had neat, short, blue hair that reached her ears, wore a classic black and white maid outfit, and had a delicate face and dignified posture.

She is none other than one of the Seven Primordial Demons, the Primordial Blue—Rain.

Behind her stood several female demons, also dressed as maids, but whose auras were noticeably weaker.

Rein seemed to have anticipated her arrival. She stepped forward and nodded slightly: "Queen Frey, Lord Guy is currently meeting with an important guest. Please wait here for a moment."

Frey nodded, feeling the surrounding air grow even colder because of the presence of this primordial demon.

Seeing that the wait seemed to be going to take some time, Rein led her to a side hall to sit down.

Inside the side hall, seeing that Qi Yi had not appeared for a long time, Frey was restless, her brows furrowed with anxiety and urgency.

Seeing all this, and out of duty and consideration for our shared high status, Rein spoke up: "Queen Frey, if there is anything troublesome, please tell me first."

"Perhaps I can offer some help."

Upon hearing this, Frey hesitated and glanced at the other demons behind Rein.

Rein immediately understood and gently waved her hand, signaling all the maids to leave.

When only the two of them remained in the side hall, Frey seemed to have a heavy burden lifted from her shoulders, and slowly began to recount her experiences in the Elven Realm—

She recounts her humiliating experience of being severely injured by Gu Yuan with a bizarre weapon, then being coerced, and even having her wings torn off and intended to be roasted.

Dragon City, the Underground Labyrinth.

Gu Yuan clutched his lower abdomen, feeling as if all the blood in his body was on fire, rushing wildly through his veins.

The pale golden liquid in the crystal bottle in front of him showed almost no sign of decreasing; he only took a small sip.

However, this tiny amount of blood, insignificant compared to flesh and blood, contained an immense energy that nearly burst his body.

He felt a chill run down his spine. As expected of the daughter of the Creator God Star King Dragon, the power of her bloodline was terrifying.

Fortunately, he didn't overestimate himself. Although the violent energy had a strong aftereffect, it was still within the limits of his current enhanced body.

He calmed his mind and listened carefully to the sounds of the world that kept echoing in his mind.

[Qi and Blood +15 — +17 — +12 —]

[Energy +14 — +6 — +13 —]

[Bone Strength +8 — +12 — +13 —]

【eyesight----】

Hearing ability—, Immunity—, Regenerative ability—

A series of enhancement prompts were so dense they almost overlapped, and various basic attributes increased dramatically by leaps and bounds, in increments of a dozen points.

Although Gu Yuan could not immediately count everything, he clearly sensed that the overall enhancement brought by this mouthful of dragon blood even exceeded the total enhancement of devouring an entire Violent Bear Demon King!

More importantly, this enhancement is more balanced and thorough, making up for many subtle shortcomings that he had not noticed before.

He was immersed in the immense pleasure brought about by the leap in his life level. His five senses became more acute than ever before, and his body structure tended to a more perfect and symmetrical state under the flushing of energy.

Even the mysterious and elusive "temperament" has been refined and sublimated.

After a moment, the notification sounds in my mind gradually faded and eventually subsided.

Gu Yuan slowly exhaled a wisp of scorching heat that could almost melt rocks.

With a slight thought, he activated [Accelerated Thinking], and in the next second, his thinking speed increased dramatically from 550 times to 600 times!

A full one-tenth improvement!

Recalling the near-danger and the enormous gains that followed, his gaze returned to the bottle of dragon blood, his eyes burning with intense desire.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised the blood vial again.

In the side hall of the White Ice Palace, Frey ended her hellish narration, focusing on the ripped-off wings and the terrifying declaration of "roasting and eating them."

Raine rested her chin on her hand, her deep blue eyes revealing little emotion, only a thoughtful expression.

Frey exhaled a breath of white air condensed from the low temperature, her tone earnest: "—It is precisely because I have no other choice that I have come to ask for help."

"That human's personality and the weapons he possessed were both extremely vile."

"If this continues, it will inevitably break the fragile balance between humans and demons that Lord Guy has worked so hard to build."

Upon hearing the words "disrupt the balance," Rein finally nodded, indicating that she understood the seriousness of the matter.

However, her next words made Frey's heart sink: "I understand the situation. But, unfortunately—Lord Guy is unlikely to be able to handle this matter personally."

Meeting Frey's questioning gaze, she calmly analyzed, "Lord Guy has always abhorred the cries of the weak."

"As for me, although I am willing to help, this matter involves a wide range of issues and concerns the overall situation of humans and demons. Without Lord Qi's approval, I cannot act on my own."

Frey's face immediately showed an undisguised look of disappointment.

Just as she was feeling disheartened, Rein changed the subject slightly: "However, you don't need to be too discouraged. Lord Guy may not necessarily intervene, but others—maybe."

O

Just then, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had received some kind of invisible message. She stood up and said, "Lord Qi has finished his meeting. Please come with me."

The two headed to the main hall.

Along the way, they brushed past a blond man whose appearance was more exquisite than a woman's.

Frey met his gaze for a moment, then quickly looked away.

After the incident with Gu Yuan, she now has a psychological trauma towards humans, and even demons.

Upon entering the main hall, one sees Guy sitting lazily on the Frozen Throne.

His hair was fiery red, and he wore only a black vest. Despite the extreme cold of minus 100 degrees Celsius, he appeared to be basking in the spring sunshine, looking relaxed and at ease.

After Frey, suppressing her humiliation and fear, recounted her experience once more, things unfolded exactly as Rein had predicted.

Guy rested his chin on the back of his hand, his red eyes showing little interest.

Frey's heart sank to the bottom.

""

However, her gaze was soon drawn to a woman standing to the side and behind King Guy's throne.

The woman had flowing, snow-white hair and an unparalleled beauty.

That noble and aloof beauty is not the beauty of the ordinary, but rather like invasion itself, making everything around it pale in comparison.

Her name is "Velusad", she is the younger sister of the creator god Star Dragon, the White Ice Dragon, and also Milim Nava's aunt.

Upon hearing that Milim had not only allied with a human of unknown origin but might even have "betrayed" the Demon Lord's faction, Velusad frowned deeply and muttered, "This is utter nonsense!"

She turned to Guy, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Guy, since you're too lazy to deal with this, why don't you leave it to me?"

Qi Yi glanced at her sideways, seemingly happy for some peace and quiet, and waved his hand: "Okay, whatever you want."
