Starting with the defeated female knight

"While I'd love a big fire, let's skip the volcanic eruption and all that..."

"And for some reason, I don't really want to fight you. Could you please leave now?"

silence.

"Oh dear, there are so many troublesome people here..."

Dolores sighed and dodged to the side, avoiding the blue blood's infection.

"You're troublesome enough already... never mind."

She turned her head to look somewhere.

"Hey, you idiot, how long are you going to keep watching this show?"

"Oh dear, I thought it would only be Dolores."

A woman covered in faded gray scales appeared beside the red torrent at some point, her golden vertical pupils fixed on Henry.

After taking a light sniff, a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Oh, you're those two guys' child."

"But it doesn't seem to be human."

"I don't even know if I count as a human being."

Henry nodded, then looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"you are?"

The woman did not answer immediately, but tilted her head back slightly, revealing the scar on her neck, and then smiled with her head down.

"Back then, your parents cut off my head."

"Your mother, it seems, was also killed by me."

King Charles the Elder's most famous battle was when he and his wife slew the evil ancient dragon that attempted to destroy the empire.

And thus he earned the title of 'the one who bathed in dragon's blood'.

"Oh."

Henry didn't react to this, but simply turned around and looked her up and down a few times.

"You seem very strong."

"I guess so. Even though it died once, it's still an ancient dragon."

She smiled.

The next second, Henry's body vanished from the spot.

A great, grey sword fell from the sky, slashing towards the woman with destructive power.

But the next second, the earth trembled.

That slash, which could easily slice through the body of an ancient god, was caught directly in a claw's grasp.

Tick ​​tock…

Blood drips.

A crack appeared on the claw.

The woman's gaze became serious.

"I'm still quite a bit weaker than your father was back then, but I also seem to have gotten weaker."

boom--

As soon as the words were spoken, fists and claws clashed.

The earth cracked open, and even the capital city trembled.

After the evil dragon stopped the monster, the blood-red river continued its advance.

But a moment later, they encountered another obstacle.

The bishops of the church stood there in a row, their gazes calm.

The girl, who looked sickly, weak, and pitiful, was yawning over there, with the head teacher standing next to her, who had just emerged from the tentacle cave.

Then......

"Tsk, there's still some left!"

The little green sprite (though it's a medium-sized sprite now) smacked its lips.

Then, after stepping back, he raised his hand.

Anxiety began to spread.

"Forget it, it won't be fun if we drag this out any longer."

She said that she used the elves as human shields to buy herself a few seconds, then took out a harmonica and played it softly.

At the same time, somewhere far away.

Melia suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the capital.

"Little Sha..."

The words fell.

Guided by blood and spirits, and by art.

Through the ceremony, and through the prior preparations.

A massive void opened up above the capital city.

Then, a figure fell.

"Hmm, I think I heard someone calling me?"

The girl holding a sickle fell from the hole, took a step, and the ground beneath her feet automatically rose up and slowly condensed into a stage.

Then, after looking around, she had a look of realization.

"So it's time for the performance?"

"That......"

She raised the sickle, a smile on her face.

Please enjoy my performance.

"This time, I will never fail again."

Volume 1: Chapter 104: Open the Door, Free Trade!

The arrival of the Elf God symbolizes the end of the Imperial Capital Unrestricted Fighting Tournament.

At the same time, it also symbolizes the beginning of the great melee between gods and humans in the capital.

But don't get me wrong, although the appearance of Dolores, the unknown ancient dragon, and the Elf God seems to have brought the situation to the brink of collapse.

But as it turns out, even when the situation has hit rock bottom, as long as there are enough extraordinary people, there is still room to dig deeper.

The banished giant beasts, remnants of the demonic tide, lurking ancient god's offspring, twisted, writhing shadows, and all sorts of other random things...

Although the green worm was indeed the mastermind behind all of this and contributed the most.

But in reality, she was also hostile to the other beings, and had never even had any contact with them before.

The reason for this situation is simply because the Grand Stage for Gods and Men in the Capital is just too attractive.

As Green said before, those who can refrain from participating in such a grand spectacle after realizing it are truly exceptional.

And thanks to the empire’s long-standing tradition of xenophobia, for more than two hundred years ago and for more than two hundred years afterward, every non-human race was equally slandered, discriminated against, and even persecuted.

Old grudges have not been forgotten, and new hatreds have been added.

In addition, there are problems brought about by industrialization, and the green insects have exacerbated the situation.

Ultimately, based on the idea that "no matter who is causing trouble for the empire, I, XX, must lend a hand and kick them when they're down,"

An anti-human alliance, far exceeding the size and strength of the Green Worm's predictions, was thus directly mobilized.

After the Elf God joined the battlefield, they all started their own antics.

But that's not even the weirdest part.

The most bizarre thing is facing the attack of this top-level coalition of demons and monsters that appeared out of nowhere.

The capital city, which had been in decline for over two hundred years and had just experienced chaos, with a sea of ​​blood constantly surging and tangling beneath its feet.

Not to mention a complete rout, apart from the slight disturbance caused by the arrival of the Elf God, the situation has actually become more and more stable.

Especially after the emergence of other races, the only merit of the theory of bloodline, which was also the original purpose of its establishment, finally showed a little bit of its true value after enduring countless stenches.

You say that a foreign race has attacked, I definitely don't believe it.

After all, not everyone can sense the atmosphere outside. Plus, you were blinded by bloodlust during the previous chaos. Who knows if you're trying to trick someone into a backstabbing?

But now the alien races are directly taking the initiative to confront you, and even the Elf God made an appearance and released a wave of intimidation (taunt).

That's a bit...

Soon enough, the demons and monsters who had originally planned to jump out and take advantage of the chaos discovered that the situation seemed to be quite different from what they had imagined.

Just moments ago, they were locked in a life-or-death struggle, with one of them plunging a longsword into the chest of a lower-class nobleman, while the other lower-class nobleman sacrificed an arm and tore half of the nobleman's face apart.

After hearing the commotion nearby and seeing the alien race.

Almost instantly, the two put aside their past grievances. The nobleman used the commoner as a weapon, and the commoner sacrificed himself by following the wounds inflicted by the nobleman.

One cheap and one expensive charged towards them in a manner more monstrous than any demon or monster.

His eyes were bloodshot and overflowing with madness.

"Kill them all!"

"Skin them, bleed them, and burn them all to ashes!"

"Hehehehehehahaha kill kill kill—"

"They all must die! They all must die!"

[BYD I told you there were no humans left in this place, but you didn't believe me]

As it turns out, the empire was a dilapidated house; a single kick could nearly bring it to a standstill.

But at the same time, a group of writhing, grotesque killers, some even crawling out from underground, will appear and kill the person who kicks the house.

As a result, not only did a coalition of demons and monsters emerge, but all sorts of demons and monsters also began to spawn in the dilapidated houses of humans.

In the end, the green worms were all numb.

"How many things are hidden in this place?! Are we even alive?!"

"Hmph, the empire's foundation is much deeper than you think."

The blue butterfly answered with a smile.

Beneath her smile, she was secretly wondering to herself how she could have been unaware of so many strange things in the capital.

After all, although Blue Butterfly is said to be the Mother Goddess, she didn't really get involved from the beginning, and she died more than a hundred years later. Even after her resurrection, for various reasons, she didn't really wander around the capital, let alone explore it.

However, despite this, the situation has not tilted much in favor of humanity.

The reason is also very simple.

Because from the very beginning, this was not a tough battle.

Even though the scale far exceeded expectations, the green worms and demons did not expect, or even think, to destroy the capital city on their own.
