Roaming through the world of Doraemon

Nobita, who had originally planned to start searching for human villages from the Genesis Tree and gather mission information bit by bit, was stunned by Gian's words. He was amazed that he had found something so easy without even looking for it. His luck was just too good to be true.

"Yes, Lord Nobita, I heard a legend during my travels. It is said that in the valley of Mount Doom, there is a Dragon Valley, and in the Dragon Valley lives a Destroyer Red Dragon that has lived since ancient times. That Destroyer Red Dragon often attacks nearby human capitals and hoards a lot of supreme treasures. So, wave after wave of dragon slayers want to kill that red dragon."

They tried to be dragon slayers, but none succeeded; they were all wiped out by the red dragon.

Thinking of the various legends about the ancient red dragon he had heard along the way, Fat Tiger told them to everyone bit by bit, his expression filled with indescribable terror.

"The last time I heard about that red dragon was two years ago when the Ottoman Empire's Gale Sword Saint led an army of three thousand to conquer Dragon Valley. But the result was the same as before; they all died in Dragon Valley and were never heard from again. The name of dragon slayer sounds good, but it also comes with the danger of losing one's life."

At this point, Fat Tiger shook his head, looking utterly helpless. It was clear that he understood the strength of the ancient red dragon to the extreme and had no hope whatsoever for Nobita and the others' idea of ​​slaying the dragon.

"Fat Tiger, just because some people can't do something doesn't mean we can't. Although the Ancient Red Dragon is powerful, our team is not simple either. I believe that as long as the four of us can unite as one, we can even kill a god, let alone a mere Ancient Red Dragon."

Sensing the low spirits of the entire team after Gian explained the legend of the ancient red dragon, Nobita, as the captain and the strongest member of the team, stepped forward to encourage the dejected Gian and Suneo, who were almost scared out of their wits.

"Yes, Da Xiong is right. As long as we are united, no difficulty can stop us. Please believe that we will definitely be able to slay the ancient red dragon."

Knowing the importance of the first part of the main quest, Doraemon, seeing the expressions on Gian and Suneo's faces, stood beside Nobita to encourage them.

Although Da Xiong's strength has improved rapidly, it is unrealistic for him to face the ancient red dragon alone. He will still need the help of the other two to complete the mission. He hasn't even gone yet, and he's already backing down after hearing the news. He's incredibly weak. If we don't boost the team's morale, we won't be able to continue the mission.

"Yes, the four of us will definitely succeed. After all, we've already climbed over the Primordial Tree, and we'll definitely be able to slay the Red Dragon."

Da Xiong brandished his silver sword, which gleamed with light, and a dragon-shaped sword aura shot into the sky, fiercely attacking the branches of the Jianmu tree not far away.

Wherever the dragon-shaped sword energy went, a strange bird with a human face and a pointed beak flew out from the dense foliage of the tree trunk, making a clicking sound.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to find out even like this. As expected of the successor chosen by the White Dragon..."

Chapter Twenty-Three: Annihilating Ashley

"Hehe, with your almost overflowing aura, it's hard not to notice. Tell me, where is Miyako? Otherwise, you can stay here today."

Da Xiong pointed the silver holy sword at Ashley, ready to attack at any moment. His spirit and energy instantly enveloped the entire area, completely blocking Ashley's escape route.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect you to change so much in just a few days, Nobita! You've finally got the aura of a strongman. But you're too naive to think you can keep me here. Dark magic! Wings fill the sky!"

Before Ashley could speak, he flapped his raven-like wing downwards, and thousands of feathers, gleaming with a cold light, rose into the air and flew rapidly toward Da Xiong, like a black dragon devouring Da Xiong and the others.

"A villain is a villain. He resorts to underhanded tactics without even saying hello. But what good will it do to play dirty tricks in my territory?" Ashley's feathered dragon was blocked by an unknown force before it even reached Nobita. Its feathers fell down in scattered pieces, covering the ground.

"Since you gave me this meager gift, I'll return the favor with one of my own, Dragon's Might!!!" Da Xiong shouted, gripping the Silver Fang Sword with both hands. A dragon-shaped totem rapidly spread out from the sword, heading straight for Ashley, who was standing on a tree branch and shouting.

"Gah~"

Ashley was startled when he saw the dragon-shaped totem bursting forth from Nobita's sword. Anyone with eyes could see that this dragon-shaped totem was absolutely not to be trifled with; the consequences of getting involved would be unimaginable.

Before Ashley could even react, the dragon totem swallowed him whole. Standing on the tree branch, Ashley felt as if his body was being crushed by a mountain tens of thousands of acres high, and he was unable to move.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the set left behind by the White Dragon to be so powerful. It can instantly give a novice like me such power. It's truly amazing!"

Ashley stood immobile on the tree, but a purple-glowing orb slowly floated from his mouth to the treetop. Before anyone could react, a bird-headed wizard emerged from the purple orb, hovering above Ashley's head, staring intently at Ashley standing on the branch.

"Ashley, didn't I say not to use this sealing orb unless it's something important? I didn't expect you to use it so soon after I gave it to you. I'm really disappointed!"

The bird-headed wizard held a huge magic wand in his hand, and his beak, which was half human body, or rather bird beak, was moving up and down. Da Xiong, who was standing below, looked at the bird-shaped wizard who emerged from the jewel and couldn't help but think of the introduction of this game that he had seen in the 22nd Century Mall.

Isn't that bird-headed wizard with the crown and robe the final boss of this game, the Demon Emperor Otrom? How come he's appeared now? This is completely against the game's rules, not giving players any time to level up, and dropping the final boss right away. How are players supposed to continue playing?

But before Da Xiong could think further, Ashley's reply to the Demon Emperor put Da Xiong's mind at ease. "Your Majesty, it was only out of necessity that I used the clone you created with your blood essence. If I hadn't used this sealing pearl, I might have been killed by the hero who inherited the White Dragon today."

Although he knew that the Demon Emperor in front of him was an avatar, Ashley's trembling was still caused by the fear deep in his soul.

"Hmph, you're so timid because of a mere White Dragon Warrior? You're a disgrace to our Dream Demon Clan. We wiped out the White Dragon back then, so his successor can't be that powerful either. Let me see what kind of person this White Dragon Warrior really is."

After gently waving his magic wand, the Demon Emperor dispelled the dragon's might of Da Xiong's Silver Fang Sword against Ashley, then turned and looked down at Da Xiong and his group standing under the tree.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Bai Long to really go all out, actually offering his body and soul to his successor. It's no wonder this hero has the strength, but this strength is far from enough!"

The Demon Emperor stared at Da Xiong and the others. Da Xiong, who was standing under the tree, did not rest. He cast a Chaos Eye probing spell, and the Demon Emperor's data was immediately displayed in front of Da Xiong.

【Demon Emperor Otrom - Clone】

Rating: 90

Power: 89

Agility: 92

Intelligence: 95

Luck: 30

Items: [Saint. Demon-Sealing Orb] [Saint. Otrom's Clone Staff] [Saint. Otrom's Clone Robe]

Skill: [Holy Dark Magic]

Note: This is an avatar created by the Demon Emperor Otrom using secret techniques. It possesses considerable strength, but its main weakness lies in the sealed objects.

Seeing the data of this Demon Emperor's avatar through the Eye of Chaos, the system only gave it the evaluation of having some strength. It's really hard to know just how powerful the Demon Emperor's true body is.

The level 90 demon boss, apart from having the same strength attribute as Da Xiong, has all combat stats that completely overwhelm Da Xiong when he's wearing divine gear. This alone shows that the demon emperor hidden at the end is not so easy to deal with.

The situation didn't give Da Xiong much time to react. As soon as the data from the Eye of Chaos was fed back to Da Xiong, the Silver Fang Sword in Da Xiong's hand transformed into a white dragon and stabbed straight at the chest of the Demon Emperor's clone.

"Sizzle~"

A tear half a person's height appeared in the Demon Emperor's black robe, and the health bar above his head had dropped by more than a tenth.

"Hiss, the thing the White Dragon left you (Nono is good) really does carry his divine power. It can actually hurt me, but only this once."

The Demon Emperor summoned his skull-shaped magic wand, and a burst of purple energy shot out from the wand, heading straight for Da Xiong's face. If the purple energy was the first strike, then the Demon Emperor's magic wand transformed into a giant hand, which, along with the energy surge, also rushed towards Da Xiong, seemingly intending to crush him.

Although the Demon Emperor's two attacks were very powerful, Da Xiong remained calm. A flash of silver light appeared, and Da Xiong's figure moved from under the tree to under the bushes several hundred meters away.

"Interesting teleportation! I didn't know you had that trick up your sleeve..."

The Demon Emperor grinned, revealing his enormous mouth, and his attacks became even more ferocious. Within the small space, the giant hand formed from the magic wand filled the entire sky above the forest, forming a formidable and imposing barrier.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dragon-Slaying Battle (Part One)

"The Dragon Soul Descends!"

The Demon Emperor's wand transformed into a towering giant hand, carrying destructive magic that flew everywhere. Its attacks were swift and cunning, causing Da Xiong to tense up. After thinking it over, Da Xiong instantly released the dragon soul contained in the Silver Fang Sword.

Dragon Soul rose from the sword hilt, transforming into a giant white dragon that leaped into the air and immediately entangled with the Demon Emperor's wand. The two wands made a series of clanging sounds in the air, and then broken wood chips and twigs slowly fell from the sky. The Demon Emperor's wand had been reduced to a rotten tree branch by Dragon Soul.

"Damn it, Bai Long actually offered up his own soul! I really don't know what you were thinking. You'd rather be a mindless puppet than let this brat have his way?" The Demon Emperor gripped his tattered magic wand tightly, his anger rising.

"I don't know what Bailong is thinking, but you need to think about how to leave here alive, Bailong Jingshi!" Just as the Demon Emperor was stunned, Daxiong brandished the Silver Fang Sword in his hand, and thousands of white dragon souls flew out of the sword and pounced on the Demon Emperor's body.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh~"

One after another, dragon souls pounced on the Demon Emperor, roaring and tearing at him. The Demon Emperor's body gradually became blurred under the tearing of the dragon souls, like a reflection in the air, becoming illusory.

"Hehe, Brave 993, you won this time, but it wasn't you who defeated me, it was White Dragon. My clone's strength is passable, but my main body is not so easy to deal with. I'll be waiting for you in Demon Spirit Fortress!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Spirit Emperor's body turned into a ball of purple flame and burned in the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Phew, luckily I remembered that the Silver Fang Sword still has this skill at the last minute, otherwise I would really be done for. Even with the full set of attributes, I was still suppressed by this Demon Emperor's clone. I really don't know how powerful the real body is!"

As the Demon Emperor's clone gradually disappeared, Da Xiong couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he really had to work hard to continue playing this game, otherwise he would easily die here.

After defeating the Demon Emperor, Da Xiong's gaze fell upon Ashley hanging in the tree. Ashley was frozen in place, like a lifeless animal specimen, clearly terrified by the battle between Da Xiong and the Demon Emperor.

"Now no one can save you, right? If you don't reveal Miyako's whereabouts today, no matter who comes, you won't escape this forest." Nobita stood ready, poised to strike at any moment with his silver-toothed sword.

"Hehe, if you can't fly over, you can't fly over. Today I've seen it clearly. But I want to tell you that if you don't defeat the Demon Emperor's true form, you'll never see Miyako again, hehehehe~" As he spoke, Ashley's body turned into a flame and burned, flickering in the night sky, indescribably eerie.

"Ding! Destroyed the Demon Emperor's clone, completed the hidden quest [Demon Emperor's Clone], reward: one [Saint. Demon Sealing Orb], the Demon Emperor's main body strength was reduced by 10%."

Ashley's body hadn't completely disappeared when the system notification sounded in Nobita's ear.

"The Demon Emperor's main body strength has been reduced by 10%. It seems that if this Demon Emperor is placed at the end, he will definitely be extremely powerful. Ordinary players will not be able to defeat him. Otherwise, the system would not have forced the completion of the task to weaken the Demon Emperor's strength. I really don't know what other story levels will extend the development time. Otherwise, if our team rushes directly to the final Demon Spirit Fortress, we will definitely be sent to our deaths."

Thinking about the system's hints, Nobita analyzed the game's underlying message to determine his chances of winning. At that moment, the system's rewards arrived in Nobita's inventory.

【Holy Demon-Sealing Orb】

Level required: 0

Seal Unit: 0/1

Attributes: 1. A conscious personal clone can be created by supplying essence blood (personal attribute). The strength of the clone depends on the amount of personal essence blood supplied, and can reach up to 50% of the personal strength (10 to 50 personal attribute points).

2. It is possible to create unconscious puppet clones by sealing the essence of demons. These puppet clones retain the original user's original strength.

"Hmm? It seems that this Demon-Sealing Orb is the one Ashley used to summon the Demon Spirit Emperor. I didn't expect the system to reward me with this orb. Looking at its attributes, this is definitely a good deal."

After packing the Demon-Sealing Orb from his backpack, Da Xiong patted his chest, focused his mental energy on cleaning up the surrounding battlefield, and thought about how to complete the first stage of the main quest in Doomsday Fire Valley.

"Everyone, take a break. We need to head to Doomsday Fire Valley immediately. That was the first wave of attacks from the Demon Emperor. I believe there will be more and stronger attacks to come. Let's leave here right away. Doraemon, send out the bamboo copter. Gian, lead the way. Let's go now!"

Realizing that their current base had been discovered by the Demon Emperor, it was no longer safe for them to stay there. Da Xiong quickly organized everyone to leave and move to a safer place.

Upon hearing Nobita's instructions, Doraemon quickly took out the bamboo copter he had prepared beforehand and distributed them to everyone. Although Nobita's current strength meant he no longer needed bamboo copter to fly, the thoughtful Doraemon had stockpiled even more bamboo copter in case of emergency.

After everyone received Doraemon's bamboo copter, they put it on their heads and followed Gian, who was flying shakily ahead, towards the direction of Doomsday Fire Valley. You really have to admire the technology of the 22nd century when it comes to bamboo copter. With just this small object, people can fly in the air at a speed of 60 miles per hour for a whole day, and they can't feel the air pressure or wind speed at all.

After flying sporadically for three hours, Da Xiong saw a series of strangely shaped peaks standing on a hill in the distance. These peaks stood out abruptly from the brown hills like sharp knives, which amazed him.

"We're here. The Doomsday Fire Valley is just ahead. This place is so famous. Anyone who has been here will never forget what it looks like." Fat Tiger pointed to the mountain peaks ahead and turned back to Nobita and the others.

"Get ready, let's land. Try not to get too close to the center. Besides the level 99 red dragon, we don't know what else is here. Everyone, be careful." Da Xiong directed everyone to land safely at the entrance of the valley to avoid being targeted by the monsters in the valley.

As soon as they landed at the entrance of the valley, Da Xiong and the others saw strangely shaped stone statues standing on the mountain path. Each statue had a terrifying expression; some were terrified, some were still shaken, and some looked like they were scared out of their wits, their faces contorted in fear. It seemed that something had happened here.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Dragon-Slaying Battle (Part Two)

Looking up from below, there are hundreds of scattered stone statues in the valley. It is unknown when this place began, but it has been the so-called graveyard of dragon-slaying heroes. Brave warriors have fallen here, and new warriors have come one after another, repeating the past.

"It looks like this is the Valley of Doomsday Fire. The hundreds of stone statues here should be the dragon-slaying heroes of all ages, but I don't know how they all turned into stone statues. My initial assessment is that the ancient red dragon here has the ability to petrify people. Everyone be prepared and don't get attacked."

Nobita walked up to a stone statue, examined it closely, and the Eye of Chaos immediately activated.

【Stone Statue of the Brave】

Status: Dead
