Chapter 53 - Chapter 465: Decapitation Strike! Battle of Legends!

Under the azure sky, the fires of war burned fiercely.

In the core position behind the impenetrable wall, the dust and gravel were blown away by the gale brought about by heavy breathing, formally exposing a massive and formidable figure to the air and the sight of the defenders.

In this instant, the air in the entire area seemed to become viscous and scorching.

A fishy scent, a mixture of sulfur and Molten Iron, permeated the air.

A strong and formidable figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

His physique was extraordinary, several times larger than an ordinary Ogre, like a deviant giant stepped out of myth.

Standing over ten meters tall with shoulders over five meters wide, his body was covered in terrifying muscle fibers knotted like cooled lava. His skin was dark red, covered in a coarse, scaly stratum corneum, with a furnace-like dark red glow faintly showing through the gaps between the scales.

Two forward-curving, steel-gray horns grew from his forehead, and a thick, long tail behind his waist swung casually, striking the solid ground and creating web-like cracks.

Dragon Vein Gluttony Demon—Karu!

This supreme military commander of the Iron Wall Fortress had actually descended in person, leading the Burrowing Worm Legion. Using the earth and concealment magic as cover, they bypassed the routine surveillance of the magical satellites to launch a surprise attack on this location.

"Wahahaha! Little Xio mice, tremble beneath your Lord Karu's crotch!"

Karu let out a deafening wild laugh, the sound waves making the remaining window panes nearby hum and vibrate.

His giant eyes swept around briefly and immediately locked onto the headquarters, as well as the human inside dressed in a commander's uniform and protected by officers.

Next, he didn't even run; he simply strode forward, beginning to walk.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

With every step he took, the stone streets shattered and sank like crackers, with cracks spreading dozens of meters away.

A fixed-position alchemy cannon blocking his path, along with its heavy steel base, was casually kicked away by him, tumbling and crashing into a row of barracks in the distance, triggering secondary explosions and a raging fire.

"Stop him! Quickly, stop that monster!"

Sharp whistles and the roars of officers sounded in unison.

A squad of Xio heavy infantry that had just rushed out of nearby barracks formed a spear wall on the street. They wore full plate armor and held four-meter-long armor-piercing dragon spears specifically designed to deal with large targets. The butts of the spears were driven deep into the ground, and the tips pointed diagonally forward, forming a forest of steel.

Karu simply swept his giant arm horizontally, as if brushing aside bothersome weeds while walking normally.

Bang! Pfft—!

Half the squad, over twenty elite heavy infantrymen, instantly turned into a spray of blood mist and shattered armor fragments.

The heavy dragon spears were twisted and snapped, and the sturdy plate armor was torn open like paper.

Without even having time to let out a proper scream, these soldiers were physically erased, turning into puddles of minced meat.

The smell of blood grew intense.

"Golem units! Activate the Fortress Guardians! Stop him!"

The ground shook violently as three "Fortress Guardian Type IV" heavy war golems, buried deep in preset bunkers, rose rapidly under the push of hydraulic devices and magic circles, appearing on the battlefield.

These were the crystallization of Xio's alchemy industry.

Each was similar in height to Karu, or even a head taller, weighing over four thousand tons. Their shells were forged from an alloy of enchanted adamantine and rare star-silver, possessing extremely high density. They were a dull metallic gray, embedded with many fist-sized magic crystals.

They took heavy, synchronized steps, closing in on Karu in a triangular formation, each footstep making the earth groan.

The lead golem was the first to attack.

The armor on the front of its arms clicked open, revealing high-speed rotating alloy drills inside. With a piercing shriek, they stabbed fiercely toward Karu's knotted chest.

This was an attack capable of drilling through metal city walls, possessing unstoppable power.

Karu did not block or dodge.

He slightly puffed out his chest, the muscles beneath his dark red scaly skin bulging, and simply allowed the frantically spinning armor-piercing drill to strike his chest squarely.

Clang—!!!

Screech—!

The ear-splitting sound of metal violently twisting and breaking echoed across the entire battlefield, even drowning out the distant explosions and shouts.

The armor-piercing drill did indeed pierce Karu's skin, drilling through the outermost layer of keratinous scales, but it only entered less than ten centimeters before being firmly jammed by the muscle fibers beneath, which were knotted like twisted steel wires, and the even deeper dense bone.

The drill spun frantically, sparks flying everywhere, but it could no longer advance a single millimeter.

"Toy."

Karu looked down at the drill, which had already begun to smoke, and spat out two syllables in a muffled voice.

His left arm rose, those incredibly thick fingers spreading out to grab the golem's angular metal head.

However, rather than saying he grabbed it, it was more like he completely covered it.

Then, his fingers closed.

Amidst the teeth-aching wail of metal, the head cast from adamantine and star-silver alloy was squeezed into a lump of twisted scrap metal, like a clump of heated wax.

The magic crystals inside burst, and the resulting chaotic energy flow scorched wisps of blue smoke from Karu's palm, but he was thick-skinned and didn't care about such minor damage.

The Gluttony Demon's right arm swept out in tandem, smashing into the front of the golem's torso.

Boom!!

The golem's chest cavity completely collapsed inward, and the heavy armor on the corresponding position on its back exploded outward!

Internal gears, transmission rods, rune circle cores, energy conduits... like smashed pomegranate seeds, they burst out from the massive hole.

A metal war creation weighing a full four thousand tons actually flew backward at an angle like a broken puppet discarded by a child, crashing into another golem behind it that was about to pounce.

The two tumbled away entangled, flattening the fortifications and buildings along the way.

At this time, the armor plate on the chest of the third golem quickly slid open, revealing a six-barrel alchemy cannon beneath.

The muzzles had already finished charging and erupted with dazzling fire!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The scorching alchemy barrage formed a dense fire net, completely enveloping Gluttony Demon Karu's massive body.

High-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, incendiary shells... various special alchemy warheads exploded one after another, swallowing him in orange fireballs and black smoke.

The shockwave blew away all fragile objects within a hundred-meter radius, and the ground was blown into charred craters.

Ordinary soldiers did not dare to approach this place at all.

But before the smoke had completely cleared, that mountain-like figure had already strode out from within.

Blue smoke rose from the gaps between his scales, and there were many wounds on his body, with some dragon scales curled and torn, but his movements were unaffected. Instead, the look of violence and bellicosity in those burning giant eyes grew even more intense.

The other two damaged golems struggled to stand back up from the ruins.

Their outer armor was severely deformed, one was even missing its head, and their movements were clearly sluggish, but their built-in combat protocols and resilient bodies still drove them to pounce toward their target.

"Boring tricks! Come, keep scratching your Lord Karu's itch!"

Karu let out a heaven-shaking roar.

Boom!

A visible red Aura ignited from his burly body, and starting from the position of his shoulder blades, it began to condense, shape, and materialize inch by inch!

Finally.

A pair of dark red giant arms with distinct muscle lines and even visible vein patterns suddenly formed above his original pair of arms!

Gluttony Demon Karu had transformed into an even more terrifying four-armed giant at this moment.

In addition to his own life Rank, he also followed the great Red Iron Dragon Emperor and had embarked on the Astral Self Sect path, and his Rank was not low.

Four arms danced together!

Karu clenched his fists and struck out without any embellishment.

Bang! Crack!

One golem's lower limbs were smashed to pieces, and it fell to its knees out of balance.

The other golem's chest was struck head-on by a Battle Qi giant fist, its entire upper body bending backward exaggeratedly, almost folding in half. Its core formation was completely shattered, and the light in its eyes extinguished.

Three Advanced war golems, whose cost was comparable to an elite cavalry regiment, had all turned into scrap metal and parts scattered across the ground, emitting black smoke and sparks.

On the remaining terrace of the third floor of the headquarters, Rodrigo, surrounded by officers and guards, witnessed all of this with his own eyes.

Dust stained his military uniform, and a bloody scratch was sliced onto his left cheek by flying gravel, but his hand holding the sword was steady, and his face was as calm as iron.

He looked at the giant monster walking over the wreckage of the golems, his expression showing no ripples.

"Little bug! You smell... very delicious!"

Karu's eyes locked onto Rodrigo on the terrace several hundred meters away, revealing a ferocious smile full of sharp teeth.

He could feel an important scent emanating from that human; he was the commander, a target worth tearing apart!

He no longer paid attention to the sporadic long-range attacks around him; those arrows and magic bullets were like itching to him.

His burly and formidable body crouched slightly, his four arms hanging low, his legs bent, and his terrifying power began to conduct and accumulate into the earth beneath his feet.

The ground centered on his feet, cracking and sinking in a radial pattern, forming a spiderweb-shaped pit over twenty meters in diameter.

The next second—Boom!!!

The Gluttony Demon crushed the earth beneath him, his massive body tearing through the air and soaring into the sky at a speed completely inconsistent with his size! He even pulled out a blurred afterimage in the air, carrying a suffocating fishy wind and the scent of sulfur.

He was like a small meteor, crashing straight toward Rodrigo standing on the terrace of the dilapidated headquarters.

At this distance, with the speed Karu erupted with, it would take less than a heartbeat.

The guards didn't even have time to push the commander down.

But in that lightning-fast moment.

Hum!

A vertical barrier composed of pure, condensed light rose from the ground without warning! The barrier was over half a meter thick, its surface flowing with water-like luster and emanating an indestructible Aura, perfectly positioned between Karu's impact path and the terrace.

Boom—!!!

With his flesh and blood body, Karu slammed squarely into the light wall!

Blinding light erupted! The light wall shook violently, countless spiderweb-like cracks appearing on its surface before it finally shattered.

Karu's impact, which was enough to smash a city wall, was forcefully blocked. The huge recoil sent him flying back even faster, his body spraying a large amount of blood in mid-air, his dragon scales torn with numerous wounds by those shattered but sharp shards of light.

But he still landed steadily; those wounds had not hit any vital organs.

Just as Karu landed.

A figure appeared in the shadows behind Rodrigo.

He didn't take the stairs but leaped lightly from the hole on the third floor, landing silently, perfectly positioned between Karu and the headquarters' wreckage, facing the terrifyingly shaped giant monster.

The newcomer looked to be in his fifties, with a rugged face and sharp lines. There were fine wrinkles carved by time and the elements at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes were as clear and sharp as a youth's, without a hint of cloudiness.

He wore a set of gray light armor without any ornate decorations.

Most eye-catching was the long spear he held in his right hand.

The spear was over two meters long, the shaft made of specially treated dull black ironwood, oily and tough. The spearhead was crafted from a strange silver-white metal that didn't reflect sunlight but instead seemed to slightly swallow the surrounding light like a black hole, making the small space around the spearhead appear somewhat dim.

His stance was not ostentatious; he just stood naturally, his spine perfectly straight.

Like a military flag that had experienced countless storms yet remained firmly planted in the ground, he was steady and resolute, carrying a Killing Intent accumulated through a hundred battles.

"Legendary..."

Karu shook his massive head, his giant eyes staring fixedly at the spearman, and grinned.

"Heh, you finally decided to come out of your mouse hole?"

The spearman, [Iron Spear] Balnar, was a Legendary stationed to protect the supreme commander of the Xio Kingdom.

He did not answer Karu's provocation, only slightly turning his head to cast his gaze toward Rodrigo on the terrace.

"Commander, please withdraw to a safe area. Leave the following battle to me."

His voice was clear, carrying a steady confidence.

Rodrigo nodded with a calm face and quickly retreated from the rear under the escort of his guards.

He glanced at the other Burrowing Worms and Aura elites wreaking havoc in the distance, then looked at the sky, his thoughts turning rapidly.

He hadn't expected that, in the end, their own Legendary would be the first to be forced out... In a sense, at the level of conventional war strategy, he had already lost a step.

However, for an Aura Kingdom war commander and Great Legion Master to dare take such a risk and personally execute this high-risk decapitation strike.

Then, having a Legendary take him down was also justifiable and a worthwhile exchange.

Opposite him, Gluttony Demon Karu obviously also knew that the spear-wielding human before him was a dangerous opponent.

He did not immediately attack again but instead began to adjust his breathing.

With every long inhalation, the dark red scales on his body opened slightly, emitting scorching steam with a strong sulfur smell; with every heavy exhalation, his knotted muscles expanded a bit more, and his bones let out a teeth-aching crackling sound.

His body expanded by another thirty percent within a few breaths, and his Aura became even more scorching and violent.

The surrounding air distorted slightly due to the high temperature.

Beneath the Gluttony Demon's skin, it was as if lava was slowly flowing.

Balnar moved as well.

He didn't strike any fancy opening pose; he simply held the long spear in his hand level, the spearhead pointing from afar at the center of Karu's chest, his movements simplified to the extreme.

"For Aura!!!"

Gluttony Demon Karu erupted with a roaring howl that shattered the clouds!

An emblem deeply embedded in the flesh of his chest lit up with a blinding light.

At the same time, as if responding to their leader's roar, all the Aura warriors wreaking havoc within the Chiseling Iron Position...

Ogres, Trolls, and Dragonforged Warriors—regardless of distance—simultaneously looked up and let out a unified, battle-hungry roar: "For Aura!!!"

The waves of sound converged, soaring into the sky!

The power of the Oath of Ten Thousand Armies Command was activated at this moment.

As for Xio's side, due to the chaos of the sudden attack, it was difficult for their military formation to be quickly activated; such things required preparation in advance and couldn't be turned on at a moment's notice.

At that moment, the majestic battlefield will, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, poured into Karu, who served as the command node.

Boom—!

Karu's form expanded once again!

His already terrifying muscle fibers bulged further, and small cracks even split open on the surface of his skin, revealing a lava-like luster beneath, which was then quickly covered by a new, thicker layer of keratin.

Rugged bone spurs thrust out from his joints at the shoulders, elbows, and spine, glinting with a cold light.

The crimson Aura burning around him was no longer flickering but had condensed into a solid blood-colored armor, burning fiercely!

In this moment, his Aura reached its Peak, comparable to the pressure of a true Legendary.

Immediately after, he launched a resolute charge, his four arms using fists or claws to trail blood-colored Aura tracks, like a burning meteor crushing toward Balnar!

Balnar's pupils contracted slightly.

From the current Gluttony Demon, he felt a substantial threat.

But he did not hesitate; with a slight flick of the wrist holding his spear, his body instantly vanished from the spot.

Thrust!

This thrust was without any flashiness, faster than a visual afterimage, faster even than sound.

The spear tip tore through the air without making the slightest sound of wind because its trajectory was too straight and too efficient; even the air didn't have time to be violently pushed aside to make a noise.

It simply appeared abruptly a foot in front of Karu's chest and then continued its steady advance, aimed straight at the heart protected by thick muscle and bone.

The silver-white metal on the spear tip, which seemed to swallow light, glowed slightly the moment it touched the Aura armor on Karu's body.

Clang—!!!

An extremely ear-piercing sound of metal clashing exploded along with scattering sparks!

Karu actually didn't dodge or avoid it; just as the long spear reached his body, he slightly turned his torso, using the thickest muscle and ribs on the left side of his chest to forcibly withstand this fatal thrust.

Puchi!

The spear tip tore through the condensed blood-colored Aura, pierced the tough dark-red scales and keratin layer, and sank deep into Karu's flesh and bone.

But it was also temporarily stuck.

"Caught you, bug! Die for me!!"

Karu laughed wildly, as if the sharp pain piercing his body was not worth mentioning at all.

Two giant blood-colored arms condensed from Battle Energy extended, like the firmest shackles, tightly grasping the shaft of Balnar's spear! Meanwhile, his other two physical muscular arms were already poised and ready; at this moment, he swung them in a wide arc from both sides, smashing toward the Legendary warrior who was slightly delayed by his weapon being trapped.

Before the fists even arrived, the pressure from them had already caused the air around Balnar to solidify and the ground to cave in!

Facing this unavoidable combined attack, a sharp light burst from Balnar's eyes, and he Advanced instead of retreating!

Endure the hit, take the damage with his Domain, while simultaneously exploding with full power to shake off the opponent's grip on his weapon, then deliver an even sharper counterattack... This was the optimal decision his rich combat experience made in a lightning-fast instant.

But reality exceeded Balnar's expectations.

The moment Karu's two physical giant fists struck the Domain.

Boom!!!

Under the combined strike of the twin fists, the surface of Balnar's Domain distorted violently, and cracks appeared!

Crack... crack crack... the sound of shattering rang out repeatedly.

Cracks in the Domain spread rapidly in all directions from the point of impact, like a gradually shattering mirror.

The remaining power seeped through the cracks; though weakened, it still solidly hammered into Balnar's arms, which were crossed in front of his chest, and his body.

"What?!"

For the first time, a look of shock appeared on Balnar's face.

He felt a bone-splitting pain in his arms, his internal organs were in turmoil, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and a trail of blood uncontrollably spilled from the corner of his mouth. His body was involuntarily knocked off the ground by the remaining massive force, tumbling backward and crashing through several ruined walls.

Karu's life Rank had long ago reached the Peak of mortal beings.

The basic physical qualities of a Gluttony Demon were already powerful, and he had inherited the fire and strength talents of the Red Dragon from the Red Iron Dragon Emperor.

This made him a cut above many Red Dragons at the same level. Now, with the amplification from the Oath of Ten Thousand Armies Command, the power of a single punch had actually managed to crack a Legendary powerhouse's Domain.

That strange long spear was still lodged in his body, and blood gurgled out along the shaft, evaporating into a bloody mist on his scorching skin.

But Karu seemed unable to feel the pain and didn't even look at Balnar.

He knew that even in his current extraordinary state, it was almost impossible to kill a Legendary warrior in a short amount of time.

Cracking the Domain did not mean he could completely shatter it.

Thus, the Gluttony Demon did not hesitate; he turned abruptly and, carrying the spear still stuck in him, turned into a blood-colored hurricane once more, charging toward Rodrigo, who was retreating under the cover of his guards.

"This monster..."

In the distance, Balnar's breath fluctuated violently. Seeing Karu turn and pounce toward Rodrigo, his heart sank.

The guards around Rodrigo could absolutely not withstand even a single strike from the Gluttony Demon in his current state.

Feeling his aching bones, Balnar gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Using his hand as a spear, he swung it violently, throwing out a highly condensed spear light toward the Gluttony Demon.

At the entrance of the command post, Rodrigo's pupils contracted slightly, and he found it difficult to remain completely calm.

He hadn't expected this Gluttony Demon to be able to repel their side's Legendary warrior, even if it was by trading injuries for momentum.

This meant that if this monster ever truly broke through the Legendary barrier, the Aura Kingdom would gain another unstoppable, terrifying general capable of taking an enemy commander's head from within ten thousand troops.

This was a massive threat to Xio's future.

At the same time, the token hanging at Rodrigo's waist lit up, and a dazzling blue beam of light shot into the sky, straight toward the heavens.

This was the highest-level distress and positioning signal.

Almost the moment the blue light rose, high in the sky next to the blazing sun, a tiny point of light flickered slightly in response.

The magical satellite received the signal and began urgently calculating the optimal teleportation coordinates and gathering energy.

But this required time, even if it was just a single breath's worth of guidance and positioning time.

And Karu's massive body, burning with crimson Aura, had already torn through the air, closing in resolutely!

His massive shadow completely enveloped Rodrigo and the last few guards.

"Commander!!"

Adjutant Torres's eyes were bloodshot. Knowing he was no match, he still raised his sword, exploded with all his Magical Power, and charged at Karu without looking back, hoping to buy even a single second for the commander.

Bang!

A dull sound of impact rang out.

The moment the frail human body made contact with the rampaging giant monster's body, Torres was like someone hitting a high-speed moving steel wall; his entire person instantly exploded into a mist of tragic blood, leaving not even a complete skeleton behind.

Karu didn't even spare a glance downward.

He roared as he charged through the blood mist, ignoring the sharp spear light sent from a distance by Balnar that pierced a hole in his back.

That right claw, carrying a vicious wind that could tear anything apart, grasped toward Rodrigo!

Before the claw even arrived, the sharp energy had already torn Rodrigo's general uniform and carved several bloody gashes into his chest.

Swish!

At the critical moment!

A soft pale-blue pillar of light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Rodrigo and the two guards closest to him!

Their figures in the light pillar suddenly became illusory and transparent, then vanished in a flash, having been teleported to a preset safe area dozens of miles away.

The light faded, and Rodrigo's face was as pale as paper as he staggered and knelt on one knee.

His left shoulder, along with his entire arm, had been cleanly severed from his body and was gone.

The wound was not a bloody mess but a smooth, mirror-like cut.

The cross-sections of bone, muscle, blood vessels, and nerves were clearly visible; blood didn't even gush out immediately because some kind of extreme high-temperature energy had carbonized the entire wound upon contact, preventing blood loss but also bringing terrible burns and pain.

A heart-wrenching pain flooded over him like a tsunami a tenth of a second later.

Rodrigo's teeth were tightly clenched, veins popped on his forehead, and cold sweat instantly soaked his tattered military uniform; he nearly fainted from the intense pain and blood loss.

The guards who had been teleported with him rushed forward to support him.

At the same time, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping the newly appeared Rodrigo.

The pillar of light was filled with majestic life energy; Rodrigo's wound stopped bleeding at a visible rate, granulation tissue writhed and healed, and his vital signs quickly stabilized. At the carbonized wound, new bone, muscle, blood vessels, and skin were growing and reorganizing frantically. This process of limb regeneration, though painful, was incredibly fast.

On the other side, inside the Chiseling Iron Position.

Having lost his primary target, Karu let out an angry roar that shook dust from the surrounding ruined buildings.

But inside him, the sharp spear light contained in Balnar's spear was rampaging, destroying his internal organs and muscle tissue.

His skin kept cracking, dragon scales shattered piece by piece, and dark-red blood seeped out of wounds large and small like streams, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling burning sound.

His Aura began to decline at a visible rate, and the condensed blood-colored giant arms also became unstable.

Meanwhile, throughout the battlefield, the Aura warriors who had completed their destruction tasks or encountered strong resistance began to retreat toward the still-present maws of the Burrowing Worms according to the preset plan.

One by one, the Burrowing Worms opened their spiral maws again to swallow the returning warriors, then pointed their heads down and began rumbling into the earth, preparing to withdraw.

"Reptile! Next time we meet, I will definitely twist your head off!"

Karu let out an unwilling low growl toward Balnar's direction and turned to charge toward the largest Burrowing Worm.

He knew they had to retreat immediately.

Otherwise, once more of Xio's Legendaries or reinforcements teleported by the satellite arrived, they wouldn't be able to leave.

Balnar wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath.

He glanced at the retreating Aura army and then at Karu's still heart-palpitating back, preparing to pursue,

But just then, Rodrigo's voice transmission reached his ears.

"Balnar, do not pursue! You cannot kill him in a short time."

"Norman Pass... has just been raided by the Legendary White Dragon Beskar!"

"The garrison has suffered heavy losses, and the pass is in critical danger! Go and support them immediately! This is an order!"

Norman Pass, another important strategic node for the Xio Kingdom.

Balnar's pupils contracted slightly.

"Damn it!"

The Legendary warrior stomped his foot, blowing a shallow pit into the ground, forcibly suppressing his desire to pursue.

He no longer looked at the fleeing enemy but looked up at the sky and raised his right hand high.

In the sky, the satellite responded once more.

A blue light pillar, much thicker and more solid than the one that teleported Rodrigo, fell and enveloped Balnar.

His figure became blurred in the light, and in the next moment, he vanished from the Chiseling Iron Position, urgently teleported toward Norman Pass.

new calendar Year 343, midsummer, July 17th.

While the Aura Kingdom launched large-scale feints on multiple fronts to distract the enemy, dozens of Burrowing Worms—loaded with elite Ogres, Trolls, and Dragonforged Warriors and led personally by war commander Karu—sneaked underground from a distant, secret area. After an ultra-long-distance excavation, they successfully broke through the ground at the Chiseling Iron Position and launched an attack.

The Aura Kingdom's war commander, the Dragon Vein Gluttony Demon Karu, used his mortal body to collide head-on with the Legendary warrior [Iron Spear] Balnar, briefly repelling and wounding him. He nearly succeeded in beheading Xio's frontline Commander-in-Chief Rodrigo Crown, finally retreating with heavy injuries under satellite intervention.

On the same day, another Legendary of the Aura Kingdom, the Ancient White Dragon Beskar, raided the strategic stronghold of Norman Pass in eastern Xio, fighting hard against three of Xio's garrison Legendaries. At the cost of heavy injuries, he finally broke through and escaped using his powerful dragon body.

This battle greatly boosted Aura's morale and delayed Xio's overall advance, forcing Xio to invest more resources into underground monitoring and base defense. However, it also exposed one of Aura's trump cards, one that could not be reused.

The conventional war officially escalated into a war of Legendaries, becoming white-hot, and the Xio Kingdom began to use satellites more frequently.

In this way, time gradually reached new calendar Year 344.

February 3rd, spring.

Aura Kingdom, Dragon Ridge Mountains; the green of vitality was already faintly visible, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.

"After three years of pregnancy, the dragon egg is finally fully formed. Is it about to be laid now?"

"Yes, perhaps my, Garros's, offspring is born special."

"I understand. Rest assured, I have always been cautious and will not easily put myself in danger."

"."

After ending the transmission with the Fubo Dragon Domain, the Red Iron Dragon Emperor gazed at the sky.

He slowly spread his wings, stretched his body, swallowed piece after piece of black oil crystals and gemstones, equipped the Eye of True Sight and the Magebreaker Gloves, and put away the hall of valor.
