Academic gathering with Lich colleagues

"She can't reach it! Nia can't reach it!!" Anxious cries echoed in the holy light.

The song changed; the soaring melody transformed into a gentle murmur. Flowing light climbed the tentacles, gathering at their tips and tracing hazy veins in the air. Pain was soothed, the soul reshaped, and the soul of the pure was brought back by the angelic phantom, merging once more with the surging flesh and blood. The living dead, flesh and bone restored. Droplets of holy light reshaped Lyle's body, and he reopened his eyes, as if waking from a long dream.

Lyle, burned to death for about ten seconds, came back to life. Mr. Raymond saved him and also allowed the dragon to rise from the dead.

A giant cocoon floated in the air, and the sphere bathed in holy light resembled another sun.

Looking at the dragon egg that had undergone a rebirth with his help, Raymond felt a mix of emotions.

"A strange feeling... completely different from those I once protected. I can feel the connection between myself and this dragon. Could this be the reason for forgiveness..." The dragon was his enemy, but with Lyle's intervention, he incidentally helped him. This newly born dragon was the former Mr. Dragon, someone Raymond quite disliked. Raymond and the dragon were old enemies back in Andrei's time, mutually hostile, yet unable to overcome each other. The dragon was truly no match for Raymond, while Raymond resented that troublesome [immortal] talent.

Raymond stared at the ten chains, the symbol of the highest level of the Ascended Path.

The newborn dragon, like himself, was a level ten lock. Being at the same level didn't worry Raymond; at most, it was a slightly bigger problem.

"I was promoted to the tenth chain because of the glory of killing the dragon father Yemothal, and now the dragons are promoted to the tenth chain because of my redemption. I guess this can be considered fate."

A strange unease brewed in Raymond's heart; helping the dragon always made him feel awkward.

I would never have helped the dragon, nor would I have had the time to witness the birth of this mythical creature. Just as Mr. Dragon once said, the dragon is a beautiful creature.

The black cocoon shattered, and a newborn dragon, dripping with slime, emerged from its former shell, like a snake shedding its skin. A terrifying dragon's might arose with the dragon's first breath, stirring up storms and summoning thunder.

The newly born Dragon King of the Ten Locks began vying for the world's power the moment he was born. Raymond could understand this phenomenon; beings like him unconsciously strip away the power of those around them simply by appearing. In the awakening stage of a newborn, the subjective suppression of this power was not so easy to control.

Raymond felt a sense of anticipation, the excitement of having found a suitable opponent.

But that feeling of unease kept rising inside, reaching its peak the moment the dragon opened its eyes.

After receiving the evil god's power shared by Lyle, the newborn dragon king underwent a regression from a dragon to an evil god. His eyes were blood-red, and the malice within them was like facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The "dragon" spread its wings, its wings torn, the tattered membranes broken into ten pieces, bound by chains representing power. Its ferocious, twisted form resembled an ancient god returning to the world.

Raymond received a revelation; the holy light reawakened a forgotten memory from his past life.

……

Amidst the ruins, angels and monsters clashed in a chaotic battle.

The Angel of Light finally pierced the Dragon King's heart with a divine spear.

Raymond Merok stomped on the chest of the dragon father Yemothal, delivering his final judgment on the mad dragon father.

"Your era is over! We will take control of the new era!!!"

The dying dragon father did not beg for mercy. His body was mangled, and the blood he coughed up flowed like a river. His venomous eyes were fixed on the paladin who had defeated him, and he laughed maniacally as he uttered his curse.

"Take it! Paladin, take my life and my era with you. But remember my words, one day I will rise again with the Broken Wings and bring disaster and chaos back to your time!"

"How dare you speak so arrogantly!!!" The angel of light, who had barely defeated the dragon father, roared angrily, but an ominous feeling had already welled up in his heart. He absolutely could not allow Yemotar's curse to come true.

Then let the dragon race disappear from this world.

[For all our suffering compatriots, let us exact eternal revenge on our enemies.]

Yemotar, the dragon father, died laughing maniacally.

"Raymond! You can't stop me! Because I..."

"Immortal and indestructible!!!"

……

"A divine descent!"

A halo erupted from Raymond, draining all the power from the area. Holy light burned, and the returning energy transformed the dark gold armor into a dazzling white-gold. The burning holy flames condensed into enormous wings of light. The true form of the Angel of Light descended upon the earth once more.

Wielding a god-slaying spear wreathed in holy flames, the king of the era, unleashing his power, will bring despair to the hearts of every person.

A cloud of fire crashed down on the earth, and the roaring holy light seemed poised to sweep everything away.

Lyle was completely suppressed by the power, his mind almost evaporated by the intense heat. But the mental suggestion he had previously set in his mind activated. His body suddenly lunged towards the spot where the Holy Lance was aimed, and he struggled to reach out his hand towards the light.

May the light have mercy!!!

The holy angel paused for a moment, "Galaron?"

Lyle's actions made Raymond pause for a moment, but he quickly recovered and yelled at Lyle.

"Get out of the way, Lyle!!!"

"We've been deceived!!!"

"This is not a lich's burial ground!!!"

"This is Dargenst, the lair of ten thousand dragons that I once wiped out!!!"

"That dragon is not your teacher, it is a reborn ancient god..."

"Father of Ten Thousand Dragons!"

"The Devourer Yemotar!!!"

What? Lyle was stunned.

The Dragon King's enormous body was projected onto Lyle. The reborn Dragon Father spread his wings, passed Lyle, and charged towards the fully armed angel. His dragon breath rolled with malice, and it seemed as if billions of creatures were wailing beneath his scales and claws on his majestic body. The undead carried the ancient gods and flew into the sky.

The ancient god grinned and opened his mouth wide towards the angel.

"I'm back, Raymond."

Chapter 605 Dragon King Priest

"I am a human being who has been abandoned and exiled."

Yes, I am filled with malice towards humans, yet I am extremely gentle towards my own taller kind.

"I died in the wilderness, where the land gave me new life and an immortal body."

Yes, no one could have imagined that I would reshape my own ashes into human remains.

"I joined Andrei; the knowledge of the lich gave me a reason to exist."

There still lies Raymond, my enemy, and my hope.

"I love spiritism and study it diligently in order to bring back those beautiful things that have been lost."

[And my magnificent body and my executed people.]

“Lyle is my favorite student. He has talent and a humanity that some dead things don’t have.”

[And the power of an evil god that can bring me back from the dead... hmm... a familiar scent.]

“I hate Raymond because he slaughtered dragons, such beautiful creatures.”

I truly loathe it.

“I very much want to join the Dragon Priests, in order to get closer to the dragons.”

The rebellious children have gathered here; they possess the power to forge a new king.

"I devoured the dragon soul of the eldest son of the dragon; my absorption speed is unprecedented."

Of course, how can a child disobey his father? I'm just taking back what I lost.

“I will surpass the Dragonfather Yemotar, this is the promise I made with Lyle, and I will shame the arrogant.”

[Hahaha... Hahahaha, I love this trick. Yes, I will be exactly the same strength as Yemotar.]

"I am the new king of the dragons, the dragon father who has risen again under the oppression of the holy light."

I am the deceased Old King, the bloodthirsty and rebellious eldest son, returned from the underworld to fulfill the cursed Dragonfather.

"The returned ancient god, the father of all dragons, Yemotar!!!"

The roaring dragon king charged at the angel, his shattered wings burning with fiery clouds, turning the sky into dusk.

The Angel of Light raised his divine spear high, the holy flames burning at its tip like a new sun, divine majesty enveloping the earth, and Raymond's voice conveying determination and resolve.

"So what! Even if you manage to survive again through treacherous tricks! I can kill you once, and I can kill you a second time!!! Die with your sins!!!" The holy spear, like a streak of light, hurtled towards the Dragon Father's body. The destructive dragon breath clashed with the holy spear, the dissipating aftershocks resembling the end of the world.

“Teacher… Mr. Raymond…” Lyle knelt on the ground, looking blankly at everything he had caused.

The power of the Ten Locks, their incarnations, are the controllers of an era, the embodiment of a certain will, capable of destroying the world with a single gesture. The Age of Holy Light teetered on the brink of collapse with Raymond's death, while the Dragon Father, reborn from the ashes, brought new chaos, attempting to reshape a new era.

But no matter how the Age of Dragons may have begun, it is still the Age of Holy Light.

The light rain continuously projected by the light-forged weapon riddled the dragon father with holes, and the dragon's tenacious vitality caused it to roar in agony.

"The battle is over." The angel delivered the final declaration, and the hurled spear of light crashed down.

With his body riddled with holes and blood raining down, the dragon father, a sinister grin on his face, dragged his broken body toward the holy light.

“Come on, Raymond, I’m not just ‘Yemortar’ anymore.”

Immortal and indestructible

Shattered into dust by the Spear of the End, the complete dragon was rebuilt from the dust. The evil god's power shared by Lyle and the knowledge accumulated by the master of dragon necromancy allowed this body to recover faster than the holy light fell.

"The power of an evil god, oh, what a nostalgic power." The dragon flapped its wings, feeling the malice flowing through its body, and it changed once more. The former ancient god, the Devourer, in order to defeat Triton, shaped itself into the evil god's natural enemy, the dragon. That was the Devourer's talent, an evolutionary mutation that allowed life to continuously proliferate and differentiate.

And now...

"Forbidden mutation, imprint: Holy Light."

The enormous black dragon changed color, turning a platinum-white like the angel's armor, its scales shimmering like dazzling gems. The holy light attacks struck the scales, but some of the energy was deflected, causing the attacks to bounce off.

"Holy Light, no longer will I retreat!"

Moreover, the spots of light remaining on the scales, under the control of this body, gathered on the reverse scale, and from the dragon father's mouth, a holy punitive dragon breath was spewed forth. The dragon was actually wielding the power of holy light like a paladin.

"Succumb to your holy light, Raymond!!!"

The dragon and the angel began to fight hand-to-hand, and Raymond was surprised to find that he was actually at a disadvantage in close combat. The massive dragon was displaying a level of strength that far surpassed his own.

"flaw!!!"

With its massive claws clenched into fists, the dragon father blasted the angel from the sky to the ground as its body twisted in the air.

Raymond was half-buried in the ground, trying to get up, when the tall shadow blocked out the light and lunged at him with a gaping maw, spitting blood.

"This time, it's your turn to die! Raymond!!!"

"No!!!" Lyle cried out as he watched this scene unfold. Powerless to stop it, the dragon priest had exhausted his power during the ritual and was now under the suppression of the dragon's might. He had even died once, and the power of the evil god had become a toy for the dragon father.
