The storm above Blackridge exploded with energy.
The dimensional gate cracked open wider as the enormous shadow pushed forward.
Lightning tore across the sky.
And then—
The Dragon King emerged.
Its wings stretched across the entire skyline.
Dark crimson scales reflected the lightning like burning metal.
Its eyes glowed like two blazing suns.
Every hunter in the city froze.
Even the Dragon General stepped back slightly.
Because this creature was not simply stronger.
It was royalty.
Kai Draven felt the pressure instantly.
His knees nearly buckled.
The Dragon Sovereign System flashed violently.
[Overwhelming Dragon Energy Detected]
[Host Bloodline Resonating]
Kai gritted his teeth.
"Why… is it reacting like this?"
Lyra grabbed his arm suddenly.
"You need to leave."
Kai looked at her in disbelief.
"Leave? Where exactly?"
"That thing covers half the sky."
The Dragon King slowly lowered its massive head.
Its gaze swept across the entire city.
Buildings trembled.
Windows shattered.
People fled through the streets in panic.
Then—
Its glowing eyes locked onto Kai.
Kai felt the pressure increase tenfold.
The system interface flashed red.
[Dragon Sovereign Bloodline Reacting]
[Awakening: 12%]
Kai's chest burned like fire.
The energy inside him surged violently.
Lyra's eyes widened.
"It's responding to you…"
Kai forced a laugh.
"Great. I'm popular."
The Dragon King suddenly spoke.
Its voice echoed directly inside every mind in the city.
"Who carries the Sovereign blood?"
The words felt like thunder inside Kai's skull.
Hunters across Blackridge collapsed to their knees.
The Dragon General turned toward Kai slowly.
Its golden eyes narrowed.
Then it spoke quietly.
"The hatchling."
Kai felt his stomach drop.
The Dragon King's gaze sharpened.
"So it is true."
Kai raised both hands defensively.
"Look, we can talk about this—"
But the Dragon King moved.
Its enormous wing slammed downward.
A hurricane blast tore through the city.
Buildings cracked.
Cars flew through the air.
Kai barely managed to stay on his feet.
The system flashed again.
[Emergency Event Triggered]
[Dragon Sovereign Trial – Phase Two]
Kai blinked.
"Oh come on…"
The objective appeared.
[Objective: Survive the Dragon King's Presence]
Kai stared at the screen.
"That's the mission?"
Lyra grabbed his arm again.
"You don't understand."
"That thing isn't here to kill you."
Kai frowned.
"Then what?"
Lyra answered quietly.
"It's here to judge you."
The Dragon King stepped forward.
The ground shook violently beneath its weight.
The Dragon General moved aside respectfully.
Even it bowed its head.
Kai swallowed.
"That's never a good sign."
Suddenly the Dragon King spoke again.
"You carry the blood of the First Sovereign."
Kai froze.
"The… what?"
The Dragon King's voice rumbled again.
"A bloodline that should have vanished centuries ago."
Lyra looked shocked.
"That can't be…"
Kai looked between them.
"Okay, someone start explaining."
But the Dragon King ignored them.
Instead it raised one enormous claw.
Golden energy gathered around its talons.
The sky darkened instantly.
The system flashed a warning.
[Dragon Sovereign Trial Beginning]
Kai clenched his fists.
"Guess the talking phase is over."
The Dragon King brought its claw down.
BOOM.
The ground exploded beneath Kai's feet.
He barely rolled aside as the street shattered.
Lyra shouted behind him.
"Kai!"
Kai jumped back to his feet.
"Still alive!"
But the Dragon King wasn't attacking wildly.
It was testing him.
Every strike landed close.
But never directly.
The system updated again.
[Bloodline Awakening: 15%]
Kai felt the power inside him surge again.
Golden energy wrapped around his arms.
The Dragon King stopped moving.
Its glowing eyes narrowed.
"Interesting…"
Kai wiped blood from his forehead.
"You're not the only one who can do interesting things."
The Dragon King suddenly spread its wings.
A massive wave of dragon energy blasted across the city.
Every hunter collapsed instantly.
Even the Dragon Hunters far away felt the pressure.
Kai struggled to stay standing.
His body trembled violently.
The system flashed again.
[New Skill Unlocking]
Kai blinked.
"Now?"
The skill description appeared.
[Skill: Dragon Dominion]
Kai barely had time to read it.
Because the Dragon King suddenly roared.
The sound split the storm clouds apart.
And inside the dimensional gate behind it…
Something else began moving.
Something even larger.
Lyra stared at the gate in horror.
"That's impossible…"
Kai followed her gaze.
"What now?"
Lyra whispered slowly.
"Because that…"
"…is the Sovereign Dragon."
Kai felt his blood turn cold.
Because if the Dragon King was already unstoppable…
Then the creature emerging now…
Was something far worse.
What will Kai do when the true Sovereign Dragon appears?
Why does the Dragon King recognize his bloodline?
And what terrifying power will the Dragon Sovereign System awaken next?
What will happen next?
