Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

"Of course, no problem. Hold out your hand." The devil smiled silently: "For thousands of years, you've been confused about other things, but you've never agreed to this one. It seems that your senior sister still holds a high place in your heart, making you willing to pay such a price and even abandon your bottom line."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand, growling angrily, "If you say another word, I really won't do business with you, let's all die together!"

If you look closely, you'll notice that the boy's outstretched hand is trembling slightly. He's afraid, though he doesn't know what he's afraid of, but he's just afraid—a fear that's ingrained in his very bones.

He always felt that if he made a deal with the devil, something indescribably terrifying would happen, even worse than death. The fact that Genji was firmly against it also showed that he probably couldn't accept the consequences of the deal, so he never dared to make the deal.

But now he was at his wit's end. He didn't know what else he could do besides trading. He craved power so much and hated his own weakness.

He could only pray that the deal would be completed quickly, cutting off any escape routes. Without escape routes, there would be nothing to fear.

Moreover, he also had his own agenda. He believed that his senior sister was capable of dealing with demons, and if he could find her by risking a quarter of his life, she might have a way to deal with the consequences.

Therefore, he absolutely could not accept losing his entire life. It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but simply that he wanted to hold onto his last remaining bargaining chip and do everything he could to find the most important person with the least possible cost.

"Power is a fascinating thing. Once you've experienced power and strength, it's hard to turn back." The devil laughed and slapped Lu Mingfei's palm loudly. "You've fallen into my trap, brother."

"Contract complete, deal closed!"

The boy's eyes shone like golden water melting in a pool of water. He patted Lu Mingfei's forehead with his palm: "Secret manual unsealed! The gathering, spellcasting unit, infinite mana!"

"Secret Technique Unsealed! Noglues, your opponent will be unable to use Words of Power, equivalent to 'Discipline'!"

"Something for nothing, 50%...fusion!"

Lu Mingfei felt a sharp pain on his forehead from being slapped, and an indescribable power surged through his limbs and bones in an instant. Suddenly, he felt an arrogant sense that he could disregard everything, and instantly felt that Angers in front of him was nothing.

"Um, I haven't taken a combat class yet, I don't know how to fight, will that have an impact?" Lu Mingfei asked sincerely, thinking that since he had risked his life, he had to do everything perfectly.

"Do you need skill to swat mosquitoes?" The devil looked at him strangely. "Your opponents are just some useless hybrids, at most two blind fools of dragon kings. Do you really need to worry about that?"

"You only need to use absolute power to wipe them out."

He spoke so casually, as if he were about to step on a cockroach, and Lu Mingfei suddenly felt more confident.

"Alright, to avoid you making a mess of your fight, here's a little bonus for you," Lu Mingze said. "You can copy the power of a Word of Power for a short time. Choose one."

"Hypnosis, or something like hypnotic mind control," Lu Mingfei said. "Do you have anything similar? Get me one, preferably something powerful that can control people."

"Oh! You actually want this kind?" The devil was quite surprised: "I thought you would want a trial like this, how cool would that be, no need for fighting and killing."

"One wave of the hand and a whole bunch of them die, how cool is that?"

"They're all dead, how can I face my senior? These are all her family members!" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes without hesitation: "Stop causing trouble, is there anything else? If not, leave!"

"Alright, alright, 'Dream Eater' has been unsealed for you. Just between you and me, this is also your senior's Word of Power."

"As for how to use it, the usage of Word of Power is pretty much the same, just chant it." The devil gently stroked Lu Mingfei's forehead, and Lu Mingfei could clearly feel the touch of that hand.

In a flash, certain images flashed before his eyes, but he couldn't grasp them; he was simply filled with involuntary fear.

Before he could even think it through, the devil suddenly kicked him hard in the buttocks, and in an instant, Lu Mingfei fell into darkness.

"Go, Lu Mingfei, this is how you should be!" The devil's voice echoed in my ears. It was unimaginable that such a child could utter such a majestic voice, making every pore tighten as if to avoid that fierce chill.

He said, enunciating each word clearly: "You are a monster who should make the world tremble!"

……

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes in the darkness, and the scene before him was still one of confrontation, as if he had just closed his eyes and taken a deep breath.

Everyone was watching him. Angers' expression was serious, and Uesugi Yue's face was also not good, as if Lu Mingfei's decision was enough to overturn the current situation.

That's true, but what they didn't know was that Lu Mingfei was never good at being a decision-maker. The role he longed for and was most suited to was actually that of a lackey who followed others around.

Lu Xiaodi looked at Sakurai Kogure, but the girl never looked at him; she simply slowly drew her sword.

A blood-red demonic sword with a sharp, curved edge.

"I hate the Snake Clan. They're cold, ruthless, cowardly, and useless," Sakurai Kogure said coldly. "Such disgusting beings shouldn't exist."

Uesugi Yue's face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and sneered, "Sharp-tongued."

At the same time, he glanced back at Angers, and their eyes met in mid-air. Decades of tacit understanding allowed them to know exactly what to do next in an instant.

Time suddenly slowed down, and without any warning, the two old people vanished from their spot, disappearing so abruptly as if they had never existed.

But both Sakurai Kogure and Lu Mingfei knew that it wasn't that they were too fast, but rather that their own time flow had been slowed down.

Word of Power: Time Zero.

Why did Erii say that Sakurai Kogure had no chance of winning? It was simply because the Snake-Headed Eight Family was too powerful.

Even if Erii, the strongest fighter, doesn't make a move, her father and brother, one Black Sun and the other Royal Authority, plus the regular guest Angers' Time Zero, these guys combined, let alone Sakurai Kogure, could even touch the weakest Dragon King.

Sakurai Kogure's combat talent is actually not good; her Word of Power and bloodline destined her to be bad at fighting.

Erii was quite anxious, torn between her father and her older sister whom she liked. She was torn between them and wanted both, but they were destined to be adversaries.

Just as she was hesitating about which side to help, a flash of light appeared, and an old figure suddenly appeared in front of Sakurai Kogure, as if by teleportation or teleportation, without any warning and as fast as lightning.

Sakurai Kogure didn't see the enemy approaching clearly at all, but she was someone who had hovered between life and death and had rich combat experience. In that instant, she alertly parried with her sword, blocking the most threatening angle.

Sure enough, sparks flew the next moment.

The folding knife slammed against the blood-red demon sword, producing a grating, ear-piercing sound. Sakurai Kogure didn't even blink, forcefully shaking it away with both hands.

Angers looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise and smiled: "You've got some skills."

Sakurai Kogure ignored him, and while shaking off Angers, she dodged backward. Sure enough, the next moment, the long sword slashed down from above, leaving a deep crack where she had just stood.

The swords had all fallen to the ground when Uesugi Koshi's aged and gaunt figure slowly appeared. The old man twisted his neck, as if he were warming up.

Anyone could see that Uesugi Kotsuki and Angers were completely at ease. Uesugi Kotsuki didn't even need to use his Word of Power because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

In just one exchange, Sakurai Kogure was already at a disadvantage.

But the girl didn't care at all. She wiped away the blood droplets on her fair cheek, revealing a fine scar on her right cheek, a mark left by the folding knife.

Blood stained her face, making her look like a monstrous ghost from hell, her lips twisted into a mad grin, and golden flames flickered in her eyes.

The injury did not frighten her; on the contrary, it greatly aroused her ferocity! Reaching out and swinging her sword, the girl fearlessly charged forward, the scarlet demon sword transforming into a red blade of light, slashing fiercely down at Uesugi Kotsushi.

Just as Uesugi Kotsushi was about to disappear from the spot, Lu Mingfei belatedly came to his senses and shouted, "Noglues!"

As the shout rang out, the slowed-down time returned to normal, and Uesugi Kotsushi's figure, which was about to disappear, reappeared, while Angers' expression turned surprised.

Because he discovered that he could no longer use the power of words.

Lu Mingfei didn't give them a chance to react. He recited a strange language, an ancient language that had long been lost. Its grammatical structure was completely unrecognizable, yet it possessed an extraordinary beauty of sound.

When the dragon script is chanted, it is as if a giant bell is being struck, and the sound echoes repeatedly throughout the entire area.

But when this incantation was activated, it was like singing a short, hypnotic song. The transparent boundary of the domain expanded rapidly, and everyone was enveloped in it before they could even dodge.

Both Uesugi Kotsu and Angers were ruthless characters with rich combat experience. They were fully prepared when they were enveloped by the domain, but they did not sense the slightest bit of killing intent. It was as if Lu Mingfei was just singing to them.

Words of Power: Dream Eater.

They were so engrossed in listening that, in a daze, they seemed to see a girl, and the air was thick with the smell of blood. The girl turned around, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes.

Beneath her feet lay a mountain of grotesque dragon bones.

The girl glanced at them, then turned and continued wielding her sword, felling one ferocious monster after another; her power seemed inexhaustible.

Uesugi Kotsu and Angers could clearly sense that they were surrounded by some strange illusion, but unexpectedly, such a bloody and violent scene evoked a strange sense of familiarity in them.

Uesugi Koshi stared blankly at the girl, a voice booming in his head. He didn't recognize the girl, but he knew her identity because she looked so much like Genjiro.

That was his daughter who died young, the daughter he never got to meet.

……

Looking at the two elderly people who had fallen silent in front of him, Lu Mingfei was a little unsure. It was his first time using the Dream Eater Word of Power, and he was not yet very proficient.

But seeing that they had stopped moving, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to turn around and say a few words to Sakurai Kogure when he saw her flip the sword over and then swing it without hesitation, striking each of them on the head.

The method was ruthless, showing no respect for the elderly or children. Lu Mingfei even heard a clanging sound as the two fell to the ground. Sakurai Kogure watched calmly, while simultaneously brandishing a knife at her neck.

She seemed eager to try, which shocked Erii. Before she could speak, Lu Mingfei quickly stepped forward to stop her, his forehead covered in cold sweat: "It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

He said, "They just forgot about the senior. They had a good relationship with her. If you kill them, the senior might be unhappy."

Sakurai Kogure narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly with some regret, but still put down the knife and turned to look at Erii: "Where's your brother?"

"I don't know." Erii was completely bewildered. She felt lost and confused, wondering where she was and what she was doing. She answered whatever Sakurai Kogure said.

“Send a message to your brother and tell him I’ve broken in,” Sakurai Kogure said calmly. “Tell him to come back and help.”

Erii made two "oh" sounds, and this silly girl actually picked up her phone. She really couldn't tell which side she was on. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but want to cover his face.

But the next moment, he saw Sakurai Kogure turn her head, her bloodshot eyes staring straight at him.

"Is there a problem?" the girl asked softly.

"What?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

“Eliminate all enemies, kill all those who oppose us,” Sakurai Kogure explained. “Suppress these people with absolute power, and control the Snake Clan as quickly as possible.”

Is there a problem?

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, wanting to say that this was too simple and direct, but looking at the girl's red eyes, he simply nodded.

“No problem,” he said. “I’ll do whatever you say until I find a senior student.”

"As long as I live, I will not let anything happen to you."

"So, do whatever you want to do, as a way of repaying my senior for the help she gave me before."

Chapter 402 Where's your knife?

"The death knell has tolled, but it is a hymn to the opening of the gates to another world."

A sharp, cold wind howled, and the dark ship floated quietly on the blood-red sea. The man raised his arm, holding a glass of clear wine in his palm.

"It is a beautiful day. The sea has been cleaved open, and a great ship made of dead people's fingernails has risen from the seabed. The gods stand on the ship, waiting for death to come."

"We are standing on this ship now. If Nidhogg is resurrected, we will be among the last to die, and we will perish along with the whole world."

The man paused, a strange light shining in his eyes: "Actually, this isn't so bad, is it? To witness the world being destroyed, the sky collapsing, the sea overflowing—how spectacular would that be?"

"It sounds good, but I refuse to die with you. Suicide pacts are disgusting."

The white-haired girl responded calmly, her gaze fixed on the blood-red sea, through which she could vaguely see the sleeping behemoth beneath.
