The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　At this moment, Benimaru, Hakuro, Arashi, Shuna, and others also arrived nearby. Seeing the little girl's condition, everyone except Arashi became nervous, after all, the other party was the strongest human.

　The young girl's crimson-gold vertical pupils suddenly contracted and then quickly relaxed. Hinata Sakaguchi suddenly felt that something was wrong, but before she could feel what was wrong, the white-gold dragon tail, which had partially returned to its original form, was already in front of Hinata Sakaguchi.

　"Oops!"

　"Bang!" The platinum dragon tail, carrying a tidal wave...

　The sea's momentum clashed directly with Hinata Sakaguchi's sword, producing a piercing metallic clang. The thorns that sprang from the little girl's tail rubbed against Hinata Sakaguchi's rapier, generating a large number of sparks.

　After being sent flying, Hinata Sakaguchi hurriedly used magic to adjust her body, then forcefully planted her sword in the ground to stop her backward momentum. The terrifying impact and the feeling of the rapier rubbing against her tail almost made Hinata Sakaguchi drop the rapier. Feeling the pain from her tiger's mouth, Hinata Sakaguchi realized that her palm was probably bleeding. "This little thing, it can do such a terrifying attack without magic essence? No wonder it is the lord of demons."

　She also realized one thing: this little guy was the true leader of the Monster Kingdom. But judging from the secret report and the slime's reaction, her mentor and friend, Hitz, must have been killed by that slime. But she had no idea what this little guy's background was.

　"Rapid Healing!" Hinata Sakaguchi immediately used healing magic to stop the bleeding and restore her strength, and then rushed towards the little girl again.

　Clang! Bang! Boom!

　Hinata Sakaguchi used his advantage to repeatedly thrust his sword at the young girl, while the girl deformed parts of her body, such as her hands, feet, or tail, and then slammed them directly at Hinata Sakaguchi.

　In just a few seconds, Hinata Sakaguchi swiftly thrust out seven swords, but to her surprise, every single one of them was blocked by the little girl. Strangely, even Hinata Sakaguchi's swordsmanship couldn't penetrate the little girl's defenses. Each time it was about to hit, platinum-gold scales would appear on the little girl's body to block the thrust. Even when Hinata Sakaguchi used the method of trading injury for a blow, her attack only left a small white mark on the little girl's tail. Moreover, the little girl's tail smash, punch, and flying kick felt to Hinata Sakaguchi as if several tons of monsters were directly stepping on her, and without gravity magic or protective magic.

　As for Shogo Taguchi [Lassen] standing to the side, he could still find opportunities to cast a spell to make his presence known, while the knight captain and the two knights could only stand outside and watch. Ever since they saw the little girl smash the rocky ground with her tail, they had lost all interest in joining the battle.

　"Huff~ Hah~ Huff~ Hah~" Hinata Sakaguchi gasped for breath. According to her plan, after sealing the monsters' magic element, these monsters shouldn't have such strong abilities. However, the little girl's performance was indeed as she expected. She didn't use magic to enhance her body or use magic attacks. The little girl only used these straightforward physical attacks without any magic element.

　But who could have imagined that this simple and direct physical attack was even more powerful than a magical attack? Hinata Sakaguchi felt as if her arms and legs no longer belonged to her. She could only keep casting enhancement and healing spells on herself. "Holy Shield!" "High-Speed ​​Healing!" Hinata Sakaguchi shouted, raising her rapier. Then, a golden light covered her entire body. After witnessing the little girl's abilities, Hinata Sakaguchi felt that she had to kill her here. If a monster of this level were allowed to exist, humanity would surely perish.

　"Boom!" The battle between the two sides became more and more intense. The little girl's dragon tail slammed heavily into Sakaguchi Hinata's body. The Holy Shield, which was known as the strongest defensive magic, shattered instantly. Sakaguchi Hinata looked at the little girl's tail gradually dissipating and thought that this level of defensive magic could only block it once.

　"My lord Paladin, we're here to help you! Flash!"

　Shogo Taguchi [Lassen] waved his staff, releasing a blinding light. Just when Taguchi [Lassen] thought he had helped, the next instant, a 46-meter-long platinum dragon raised its upper body, compressed the air in its abdomen, and opened its mouth to let out a roar that could tear the air apart.

　The knights closest to the scene were thrown back by the shockwave, collapsing to the ground with blood seeping from their eyes and ears. However, Shogo Taguchi [Lassen] and Hinata Sakaguchi had deployed defensive magic in advance, so they were unharmed for the time being. They never expected that their maximum-output flash magic would fail to damage the creature's vision, but instead stimulate it.

　But for the Lord of Reincarnation, this body is the most suitable form for battle.

　"Hey, the leader of the Demon Kingdom is a dragon? What kind of dragon is that?"

　Shogo Taguchi [Lassen] had never seen such a creature before. He gritted his teeth and said, "I've never seen it in ancient books. It must be some kind of evil dragon. Paladin Commander, I'm counting on you."

　The Lord of Reincarnation propped himself up and spewed the Mad Dragon Virus Sphere at the two of them. As expected, neither Hinata Sakaguchi nor Shogo Taguchi [Lassen] expected that this seemingly sacred dragon would spew out such an evil gas, but they still instinctively dodged. "Boom!" The Mad Dragon Virus Sphere immediately exploded, but to their surprise, the blackish-purple scales did not disappear, but spread even further with the explosion. However, they didn't have time to dodge, and the Lord of Reincarnation had already arrived.

　"Bang!" Each strike of the World Lord ripped up the rock, and its purple-glowing claws left four deep claw marks on the ground. "What terrifying attack power this is! Paladin Commander, let's retreat first. We can't kill this monster alone. We need the knights of the Western Holy Church to be dispatched to defeat it. We also need to pass on this information."

　Amidst intense inner turmoil, Hinata Sakaguchi had no choice but to answer.

　The request was granted, but by then the Lord of Reincarnation had already flown into the air. "Hey, be careful."

　"Earth Barrier!"

　Shogo Taguchi [Lassen] immediately used all his power and set up a teleportation spell nearby. As he expected, the pouncing dragon smashed through Shogo Taguchi [Lassen]'s earth element barrier. At the last moment, he successfully teleported out. Just as Shogo Taguchi [Lassen] was feeling very clever, the World Lord rotated 180 degrees with the falling wing claw as the center, and the other wing claw suddenly fell down.

　With a "splat," the fresh tomato sauce is ready.

　"Hahhhh!" Seeing this, Sakaguchi Hinata was determined to use her ultimate move to eliminate it here. A large amount of magic power continuously gathered in her sword. At the same time, Sakaguchi Hinata was also constantly refining this part of the magic power. Then, Sakaguchi Hinata used a thrust as bait and charged directly at Kaisei-no-Kami. Kaisei-no-Kami opened its huge mouth and prepared to bite Sakaguchi Hinata.

　The fine, sharp dragon teeth looked like they could send Hinata Sakaguchi to another world, but Hinata Sakaguchi was already prepared with the Collapse Demon Spirit Slash. The sword technique, flashing with an eerie light, had already reached the Lord of Rebirth. "Pfft~" Hinata Sakaguchi could feel his rapier piercing the Lord of Rebirth's neck.

　However, the explosion that Hinata Sakaguchi had imagined did not occur. A pale blue light flickered on the chest of the Reincarnation Lord. Hinata Sakaguchi's attack, which was powerful enough to kill the Demon King, did indeed cause some injury to the Reincarnation Lord, but the magic power she had gathered disappeared as if it had vanished into thin air. Hinata Sakaguchi could even see the Reincarnation Lord drawing magic power to heal its wounds. When Hinata Sakaguchi turned around to check on the injuries she had caused, the wounds on the Reincarnation Lord's body had already begun to heal, and the marks were almost invisible.

　The Lord of Reincarnation even felt that this energy was not enough. Even though she was absorbing magic essence intentionally or unintentionally, the Heavenly Sword Dragon God Jade had not yet been fully activated.

　But Hinata Sakaguchi's face instantly turned grim. Just as Hinata Sakaguchi was thinking about what to do next, she felt death approaching for the first time. Then she saw a beam of azure light engulf her. The attack of the Lord of Reincarnation was so fast that she didn't even have time to react before her consciousness was plunged into darkness. When she woke up again, she was already wrapped in bandages and lying in the headquarters of the Western Holy Church.

　P.S.: Except for felines, almost all mammals can taste sweetness, but felines have lost the ability to taste sweetness due to a genetic defect. Also, have you noticed that snow only freezes in winter, and the freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius? This means that the temperature in winter is definitely lower than in summer. I call this the new temperature theorem!

　Volume 1: Chapter 365 - The Storm Dragon's Resurrection and the Maid

　"What interesting days and nights! Thinking about it that way, a lot has actually happened."

　"How many times has this happened? How many times has this happened? If I hadn't shared my magic essence with you, you would have been drained of it long ago. Learn your lesson, my dear friend."

　"Hmm, what's this? A fire spirit. I squeeze it... wait, it broke?"

　"Hmm? This mask looks like the one worn by the hero who sealed me away. It's been so many years, it shouldn't be that person's, maybe it's just somewhat similar."

　"Huh? Huh? What is this little thing? Why does it have a familiar aura?"

　"Dragons, they're dragons? Wait, besides my eldest sister, second sister, and my niece, how come there are other dragon species? My dear friend, quickly ask them who they are!"

　"Tsk, I've never seen a dragon of this race before. Could she be my brother's illegitimate daughter? Even if my brother had a hundred or eighty more, he could afford to raise them. Why does he never say anything about it? Or is it that she's not actually his daughter?"

　"These little ones are so pitiful. They're so young, yet they don't have many years left to live. I wonder if my dear friend can find a way."

　"It seems that meeting someone requires fate. But now that I'm back in the Jura Grand Alliance, I should have enough time to analyze the Infinite Prison. Wait, what's the meaning of this Shiz's apprentice? I can't communicate with him at all. What exactly is Hyuga Sakaguchi trying to do?"

　"Tsk, so this is the result after all. If I hadn't squeezed out my last bit of magic to block the final blow, my dearest friend would probably be gone by now. Kuhahahahaha, as expected of me, Storm Dragon Veldora!"

　The above describes the recent time Veldora spent inside Rimuru's stomach. Based on the Great Sage's initial analysis speed of the Infinite Prison, it would likely take a hundred years to analyze and open it. Therefore, during this time, Veldora cooperated with the Great Sage in analyzing the Infinite Prison while simultaneously browsing through Rimuru's memories of manga, movies, and novels.

　However, it just takes a little more time to read the comics than to analyze them.

　"Hey, I remember the last time I read 'Make-Out Paradise' it was volume eight. Let me see volume nine. Hey, who turned off the lights?"

　After the Infinite Prison shattered, Rimuru looked at the blond-haired guy dressed like a typical otaku. Although he didn't want to believe it, this guy was indeed the Storm Dragon Veldora that he had first encountered. Moreover, the two had even given each other names, Veldora Tempest and Rimuru Tempest. But at this moment, Rimuru was unwilling to believe that this blond-haired guy was Veldora.

　This doesn't look like a dragon at all.

　To tell the story, it all started after Rimuru woke up. Because the magic attribute of the Rainbow End Spikes used by Hinata Sakaguchi overlapped with the attribute of the Infinite Prison, Rimuru's progress in analyzing the Infinite Prison actually slowed down considerably. Moreover, the magic attribute seemed to have severed his connection with Veldora. Rimuru had no choice but to release Veldora and try to use Gluttony to devour that part of the magic attribute. It was during this process that the little girl appeared and then curiously placed her hand on the barrier.

　"Xiao Guang, this barrier is called the Infinite Prison, and it's very difficult to analyze. So, wait, how did you break it?"

　Because even young girls are infinite!

　However, the little girl wouldn't say it like that. She shook her head and said, "I don't know~ Is it delicious?"

　The young girl and Lanmei looked at the blond-haired man lying on the ground reading a book. Lanmei shook her head, knowing full well that the thing was probably not edible.

　Yes, it wasn't food after all. The young girl felt that her premonition was correct. However, the lingering dragon aura made her a little uneasy.

　Rimuru was curious about how the little girl had escaped the Infinite Prison, but he couldn't care less about that now. When Veldora was rescued, she looked like a disheveled old man, and she was holding the little notebook he had bought earlier. Rimuru just wanted to punch Veldora hard on the head.

　"Veldra!"

　Upon hearing Rimuru's roar, Veldora, who was observing his surroundings, finally realized what was happening. Trembling, Veldora carefully sensed his surroundings and finally confirmed that he had escaped!

　Veldora immediately threw the small notebook on the ground, casually showing off her hair gel-coated hands. At the same time, her clothes instantly transformed into a deep red cloak. Veldora shouted triumphantly, "I, the Storm Dragon, Veldora Tempest, am fully resurrected! This world is about to belong to me! Kuhahahahahaha!"

　"Oh right, it seems you quite enjoyed your previous life. Wait, what were you looking at before?!"

　"There's no need to mention such a trivial matter. But speaking of which, thank you for rescuing me, my dearest friend!"

　Rimuru pointed at the little girl. "It's her, not me." Only then did Veldora see the little one drooling over him. For some reason, Veldora didn't dare to look the little girl in the eye for a moment. So he shrank to Rimuru's side, covered his mouth with his hand, and asked softly, "Hey, my dear friend, what's wrong with this little one? I can't feel such a strong sense of pressure inside your body."

　However, Rimuru did not answer, because he was busy checking the blessing that the Great Sage had just given him. Because of his relationship with Veldora, who had named each other and whose magic essence had merged, the two had formed a soul corridor. After Veldora was released, their magic essence was exponentialized and some of their skills evolved. Rimuru's Great Sage evolved into the King of Wisdom, while Veldora's Seeker evolved into the King of Seeker. Furthermore, because Veldora left magic essence in Rimuru's stomach, Rimuru also gained the skill of the King of Storms.

　Having obtained the King of Wisdom, Rimuru decided to take a closer look at the young girl. As expected, Rimuru was able to see much more information. And once he did, Rimuru realized that he had discovered something extraordinary.

　[Forbidden][Lord of the World][Calamity Dragon God][Perfect Soul][The World's Darling][King of Ancient Dragons]

　At the same time, Lanmei also possesses several inherent abilities: [Ancient Dragon], [Tianjin Calamity God], and [Great Calamity].

　Rimuru suddenly understood why Veldora was the way she was. He closed his eyes helplessly, thinking, "It's because they're both dragons, especially with all those abilities the little girl possesses." It was normal that Veldora didn't feel any pressure within him. If his Great Sage hadn't evolved into the King of Wisdom, he himself might not have been able to see the information. In this situation, should we say the little girl hid it very well, or that these skills were simply too overpowered?

　“Alright, calm down a bit. We’re going out to meet the local inhabitants.” Rimuru reminded Veldora to watch her aura. “Okay!” Veldora replied energetically.

　As the magic energy dissipated, the little girl's interest vanished. Rimuru patted Veldora on the shoulder and led him away from the cave.

　Because of the recent leak of magic essence, Rigurd and Benimaru stood guard nervously by the cave. Rimuru had just introduced this person to everyone as the Storm Dragon Veldora, but unexpectedly, the scene was completely silent, as if no one believed it to be true.

　"Lord Rimuru, you must be joking, Lord Veldora..."

　Yes, it's gone.

　Just as Rimuru was at a loss, the dryads Treyne and Toreya arrived. They first knelt down and bowed respectfully to the little girl before bowing to the storm dragon Veldora.

　"Our guardian deity, Lord Veldora, I offer my heartfelt congratulations on your resurrection. Please forgive my rudeness; I should have bowed to you first..."

　Before the tree spirit Treni could finish speaking, Veldora waved her hand and said, "It's alright. Little Hikari helped Rimuru, and since Rimuru and I are close friends, then Little Hikari is also my close friend. As for you tree people, managing the Jura Forest must be very hard work for you."

　The dryad Torene's attitude became even more respectful, and she said sincerely, "This praise is truly undeserved. After my sisters and I were separated from the Elf Queen, it was you who took us in. This kindness cannot be repaid by simply protecting the Jura Forest."

　With the confirmation of the dryad Treni, Rigurd and Gobuta finally believed that the blond youth was indeed the Storm Dragon Veldora. The natives immediately knelt down, and Veldora laughed heartily upon seeing this. "Hahaha, I'll have to entrust the affairs of Hikari, Rimuru, and the entire Jura Alliance to you. Not only that, but I'll also be living here from now on. I hope you won't find me troublesome."

　Rigurd was so excited he couldn't speak. After his face turned red, he stammered, "Well, that's natural. It's an honor for us to have Lord Veldora stay here. In that case, gentlemen, let's have a banquet tonight!!"

　After Rigurd finished speaking, cheers and howls erupted from the goblins, fanged wolves, lizardmen, and orcs. After all, for them, this meant the addition of another Demon Lord-level figure. Now, even if Milim came here, she probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

　The tradition within the Jura Grand Alliance is to hold banquets outdoors in a lively atmosphere. Under Rigurd's organization, a row of food stalls quickly sprang up along the street. Veldora, who also loves the Breath of the Gods, was currently enjoying one skewer after another at a barbecue stall.

　At the same time, Shion also wanted to do something to celebrate Rimuru's recovery. Moreover, Veldora's revival and the evolution of her skills were also things to celebrate. However, Rimuru did not expect that the dish Shion made, who seemed to have a lot of wifely qualities, would be so shocking.

　Looking at the food in the bowl, Rimuru rubbed his eyes hard before he could make out the ingredients. Although he couldn't understand why the tomatoes and onions were whole, Rimuru really wanted to ask Shion why the soup base was purple and why there were strange bubbles constantly bubbling around, with the rising steam forming the shape of a skull!

　"Lord Rimuru, is my cooking really so unpalatable?"

　"How could that be? But Ziyuan, why don't you consider cutting the vegetables into smaller pieces?"

　"I think this is perfect. Rimuru-sama, please eat!"

　"Uh, I suddenly realized that since Shion made the dishes, she should share them with everyone, just like Benimaru. Benimaru, right, where is Benimaru? Where is she?"

　At that moment, Benimaru, who was biting into a skewer of grilled fish, came up behind Rimuru. Rimuru quickly grabbed Benimaru and said with a forced smile, "Oh, isn't this Benimaru? Shion went to great lengths to prepare this meal, let's eat together."

　"Oh, isn't this something Shion specially prepared for you, Lord Rimuru? I've just finished eating and now I just want to have some wine."

　"Don't be shy, have some more!"

　The little girl looked at Rimuru and Benimaru, who were passing the food back and forth, with a puzzled expression on her face. She ate her way along the stalls, her mouth stuffed full. At the moment, she was drinking with Veldora. After the previous accident, the little girl would only store food in her stomach or in her bracelet, and would never leave it outside.

　In the end, all the monsters here were lying on the ground, completely drunk. Then, the next day, Rimuru summoned Veldora, Benimaru, Hakuro, Rigurd, and others to the council hall to discuss what had happened.

　"First, there's the issue of that group of paladins. Cangying, could you please explain it to me?"

　As soon as he finished speaking, Cangying appeared beside Rimuru. "Ha, the intelligence gathered from their camp confirms that those knights are from the Kingdom of Falmus. As for the reason why the Kingdom of Falmus launched the attack, Cangying's investigation revealed that someone brought silk and wine from the Jura Alliance to the Kingdom of Falmus, which aroused the king's desires. The king was worried that the future center of trade would shift from the Kingdom of Falmus to the Jura Alliance, so he planned this attack."

　Rimuru nodded and continued, "The second thing is about that Holy Knight Commander, Hinata Sakaguchi. According to the information I've gathered, someone has revealed to Hinata Sakaguchi that I am a monster and distorted the truth about Miss Shizu. Although I have a few suspects in mind, that's not the most important thing right now."

　"Next up is Benimaru, as the Three Beast Warriors said..."

　"Milim will launch her attack on the Beast Kingdom in two days, won't she?"

　"Yes, Alvis, one of the Three Beast Warriors, contacted us. At the time, she said the time would be seven days later."

　“But how could Milim do such a thing? Alvis certainly wouldn’t lie about something like this. Anyway, Gerud, please prepare a large number of makeshift houses to house the people of the Beast Kingdom. Let’s get through this period first. On the other hand, since the Kingdom of Falmus and the Western Holy Church will definitely launch a second war, and the second one will definitely be larger than the first, we need to be prepared.”

　At this point, Rimuru paused, and Yhorm and Großes seemed to know what Rimuru was about to say. "The most important and crucial thing is, Myuran." With that, Gavilu waved his hand, and led Myuran to the council hall.

　"Alright, Miss Miu Lan, could you please explain your reasons for doing this?"

　“I am Myo Lan, one of the five fingers of the Demon King Kleiman, the ring finger.”

　"As expected, it was Kleiman who was behind this."

　"The Demon Lord Clayman, known as the Puppet Master, always liked to manipulate his subordinates at will. I was just one of his many pawns. His mission for me was to investigate the Jura Grand Alliance, so I used Yhorm to enter this place. Then, following his instructions, I activated magic to create a magic-prohibiting barrier. My heart is in his hands. In order to live, I can only obey his orders."

　"I see. No wonder you're so obedient. So, why is Kleiman targeting us?"

　"He seemed to be anticipating the arrival of war."

　"Could it be referring to the battle between Demon Lord Milim and Demon Lord Carrion?"

　"No, it looks more like a war between the Jura Grand Alliance and the Kingdom of Falmus."

　At this moment, Benimaru suddenly said, "If Demon Lord Milim and Demon Lord Carrion really fight, should we consider sending Lord Hikari to provide support? After all, the Beast Kingdom has also signed a friendly treaty with the Jura Alliance. This way, we can not only find out what Lady Milim is up to, but also minimize the losses of the Beast Kingdom."

　Everyone thought this was a good idea, so they all looked at the little girl. The little girl swallowed the cake, stared at them with her big, bright eyes, and tilted her head, seemingly not understanding what these people were going to do. Rimuru tried to say to the little girl, "Hikari, would you be willing to join forces with Demon Lord Carrion to defeat Demon Lord Milim? I believe that with your abilities, you can definitely do it."

　"Is it because of food?" Unfortunately, Rimuru couldn't sense the little girl's thoughts from her mouth. The leisurely Veldora closed the comic in her hand. "Given Milim's capricious nature, she probably just thinks it's fun. There's no point in thinking about her."

　Rimuru sighed, and after having Gabiru send Myulan back to his cell, he began to discuss countermeasures with Benimaru and the others. The young girl found it a bit boring, so she dragged Arashi away from the council hall to find something to eat.

　However, just as the young girl stepped out of the council hall, a blue-haired maid suddenly appeared in front of her. The young girl sniffed; the blue-haired maid smelled foul. The young girl covered her nose and was about to leave when the blue-haired maid took out an invitation and stopped her. Neither the young girl nor Lan Mei understood what she wanted to do, nor did they want to pay attention to her.

　However, the blue-haired maid's eyes narrowed immediately. In that instant, platinum-gold scales began to appear on the young girl's body. The next second, the partially deformed dragon claws, with sharp blade scales, smashed the blue-haired maid into the ground. Then, the young girl turned and jumped up, and a platinum-gold dragon tail with sharp crystalline thorns lashed down. Those who died under the claws of the World Lord knew the power of the tail strike best.

　The purple-glowing claws grabbed the blue-haired maid, and the little girl completely transformed back into the form of the Reincarnated One. Stared at by the crimson-gold pupils, the blue-haired maid no longer had her previous ease. The Reincarnated One's claws exerted force continuously, and amidst screams, the immense power completely crushed all the bones in the blue-haired maid's body.

　"Bang!" The Lord of Reincarnation slammed the blue-haired maid to the ground. Immediately afterward, the Mad Dragon Virus exploded. The Lord of Reincarnation grabbed the blue-haired maid and dragged her along the ground for more than ten meters before throwing her away. The blue-haired maid fell to the ground like a dead fish and then bounced up. The Lord of Reincarnation spat out a beam of azure light from his mouth, which directly engulfed the maid.
