Chapter 749: Dragon Slayer
“It was you who disturbed our mating?” Karolina raised her head high, looking down at Connie with her larger and taller frame.
Though she couldn’t match the Pink Dragon’s beauty, her strength far surpassed Connie’s, so she naturally couldn’t lose in terms of presence.
“Mother, do you remember me?” Connie looked at Karolina with disappointment. The Black Dragon mother was as arrogant as ever, even failing to recognize her own child. It hadn’t been long since Connie was pushed out of the Dragon’s Lair by Karolina—just a few months.
“Mother!?” Karolina was momentarily stunned by Connie’s address.
She carefully examined Connie’s appearance, feeling a sense of familiarity, especially the intimate sensation emanating from Connie’s body. Closing her eyes, she sensed deeply and realized that the Pink Dragon before her was indeed her own child.
But she was a Black Dragon…
How could she have given birth to such a beautiful dragon?
Karolina was baffled, but this didn’t stop her jealousy from growing stronger—her daughter was even more beautiful than her… Why? She couldn’t accept this; she was supposed to be the most beautiful!
“Since you know your identity and mine, you should understand the price of challenging the Dragon Mother!” Karolina kicked the Red Dragon, who had fallen into a lovesick stupor, to the side.
She then took two steps forward, displaying her strong and elegant frame, her crimson eyes fixed on Connie, a hint of Killing Intent flashing within them.
“And what is that price?” Connie stared coldly back at Karolina, tit for tat.
“The price is…” Karolina suddenly moved, her wings spread wide, Dragon Claw raised, tearing through the air as she pounced toward Connie, roaring fiercely:
“Death—!!”
Seeing Karolina’s fierce approach,
Connie showed no fear.
Even though her rank was much lower than Karolina’s, it wasn’t until Karolina was almost upon her that she transformed into her human form and hid behind Xi Wei, clutching his arm, her Pretty face filled with grievance:
“Darling, save me! She wants to kill me!”
Xi Wei, who had been ignored by Karolina for so long,
finally felt a slight sense of presence.
He had been riding on Connie’s back all along, habitually suppressing his aura.
Now standing in front of Connie, he raised his gaze, the wind tousling his golden Messy hair, a majestic aura emanating from his deep blue eyes, directly confronting the oncoming Black Dragon.
“Kneel!”
A domineering roar sounded, cold and icy.
Like a Dragon’s roar.
Even more oppressive than Karolina’s.
It was a Command.
An Emperor’s Command to the lowly!
For some reason, Karolina felt this absurd thought arise; in human eyes, she, as a Dragon, was the true Emperor!
Her thoughts halted abruptly.
Karolina’s expression changed suddenly; the human hadn’t drawn any Weapon, merely extending a hand. Time seemed to stand still at this moment; she could clearly see the details of that hand—the Pitch Black gauntlet, sharp fingertips like blades, silver lines etched with mysterious patterns on the armor.
What a grim hand.
It was as if this hand belonged around her neck.
Her neck!?
Karolina realized in alarm, but it was already too late.
Despite her massive size compared to a human, that hand accurately gripped her neck, even if only holding a single Scale. She felt like a duck being strangled, suffocating.
“Submit to me!”
The air, the space, everything seemed to be torn apart by the roar in an instant. Karolina bled from her orifices, feeling as if a sharp Sword had been thrust into her brain and twisted. A tremendous force surged from her neck.
She had almost no room to resist.
“Boom—!” The ground trembled.
The Red Dragon’s Lair was obliterated in an instant as Karolina’s plummeting body struck it.
Everything went dark before Karolina’s eyes. Her entire body felt as if it was shattering piece by piece. Dragon Blood seeped from the gaps between her Scales. Her Dragon eyes bulged from the pressure in her skull, her mouth wide like a dying fish, the inside a bloody mess. Her Dragon teeth were shattered in that instant.
“So, you wanted to kill my beloved?”
Xi Wei stood before Karolina. Her once proud head was half buried in the earth, but her blood-soaked Dragon eyes still met Xi Wei’s gaze.
Xi Wei didn’t like it.
He placed a foot on Karolina’s head.
Then pressed down with immense force.
“Boom—”
The plains around the Red Dragon’s Lair caved in as if struck by a massive hand.
Dust rolled for thousands of meters, mountains collapsing.
A valley was formed with Karolina’s Dragon body at its center.
Xi Wei coldly moved his Knight Boot away.
After this,
the Mother Dragon could only gasp for breath, utterly incapacitated.
Her eyes burst under the pressure, her spine bent grotesquely, shattered bones pierced her Dragon skin, her Scales exploded, her body clearly broken into several pieces.
“Pft—”
Karolina’s body convulsed twice, Dragon Blood gushing from her mouth, soon forming a small pool of scorching Dragon Blood nearby.
“Mind your attitude, Dragon.”
Xi Wei crouched down.
He gripped her Dragon Horn, lifting her head.
He looked down at Karolina’s Dragon eyes, now reduced to pulp.
Dragons could see even without eyes.
So Xi Wei believed that at this moment, the Mother Dragon must be gazing up at him.
“I am the King of Winter, here today to find ingredients for brewing. Now I have my eye on your Dragon Blood, your Dragon Heart, your Horns… You don’t object, do you?”
As Karolina began to open her mouth,
Xi Wei stepped heavily on her dragon maw, forcing it shut.
“I’m a fair man and dislike forcing decisions upon others… So, silence means consent. On behalf of the residents of the Wintery Empire and my beloved, I thank you for your contribution.”
With that, Xi Wei drew the Sword of the Conqueror King from his back.
His icy gaze fixed on the struggling yet powerless Mother Dragon.
The next moment.
“Shing—”
The Sword left its sheath.
Its cold blade rested against the Mother Dragon’s neck.
“Do you have any regrets regarding Connie?”
Karolina slightly raised her head, looking at the girl hiding behind the Human Knight, filled with endless remorse. She should have let Connie die in the forest, watched her be torn apart by wolves, made sure of her death. Had she done so, she could still be living her free and easy life today.
Xi Wei seemed to read Karolina’s thoughts.
“Beyond redemption.”
With a cold snort, he swung the Sword, severing the Dragon’s head.
