Chapter 537: Chapter 424: I’m Here to Help!
At the moment, Jia’erba was smug about his foolproof plan. In the midst of this fleeing party, he was positioned in the very center. Most of the spies infiltrated within the Dragon Knight Legion were around him, with one sole purpose: to hold off pursuers, defeat obstacles, and finally help him reach the border safely.
The elixir had not been injected long before he started to feel a fantastic surge of power coursing through him, giving him confidence. As long as he could successfully return to the Black Dragon Empire and extract the elixir from his body, his dangerous life would be a thing of the past, and a carefree second half of his life was beckoning him.
Perhaps due to their fast escape, the pursuers had not yet shown themselves. However, the Dragon Knights of the White Dragon Empire were already on high alert at the border.
In any country, traitors are always the most despised. In countless battles, they would hand their lives to these traitors, who could stab you in the back at any moment. So, the fate of these escapees is expected.
Out of the group of thirty, only Jia’erba and one other Dragon Knight had managed to escape. The reason Jia’erba survived was due to Long Yi’s Dragon Knight elixir, which had given him extra strength.
The other Dragon Knight was Wendell, whose Light Wind Dragon’s speed allowed him to quickly dodge across the battlefield. Astonishingly, he turned out to be one of the spies, hiding in the camp as a lowly, frightful man who let everyone bully him, which was his cover. He was tired of living like this and when issued an order to protect Jia’erba and return to the Black Dragon Empire to get away from the war, he did not hesitate to flee.
"The border is in sight! We made it!" Wendell shouted to Jia’erba.
"Hahaha! Gold coins! A carefree life! I’m coming! Come out! My Black Dragon!"
After Jia’erba’s roar, a dragon roar echoed from afar. That was Jia’erba’s true bonded dragon!
"You’ve been with me for three years, so you deserve some credit. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die too painfully!" Jia’erba said, patting his dragon saddle.
Whoosh!
The massive White Dragon leapt across the border, and Jia’erba suddenly injected a deadly spell into the dragon’s head, while he leapt high into the air! The White Dragon’s eyes were wide, unaware of what happened, before it fell from the sky!
Landing on the Black Dragon, Jia’erba could feel the familiar Black Dragon power entering his body, evoking a sense of inner peace.
"Let’s go, my long-lost friend. To fame and fortune! Here we come! Hahaha! Haha! Ah!? Ahh!? ???"
Before Jia’erba could finish laughing, a dreadful pain overwhelmed his body! Two uncontrollable forces clashed within him!
"What’s happening, why is this happening!" Jia’erba’s body stiffened, as energy collision made him feel immense heat.
"Jia’erba! What’s wrong with you! Your face is all red!" Wendell shouted from afar.
"Help! Save me!" When Jia’erba opened his mouth, sparks unexpectedly spouted from it!
Boom!
All of a sudden, Jia’erba, who had just landed on the back of the Black Dragon, exploded into a massive fireball, leaving nothing behind!
The White Dragon Knights who had followed them into the Black Dragon Empire were initially stunned when they saw this, and then they broke into loud cheers.
In fear, Wendell with his Light Wind Dragon sped away, not daring to look back.
Soon after, a new rumor surfaced.
To prevent betrayal, Long Yi had embedded a special magic in the elixir. If a Dragon Knight were to betray the White Dragon Empire, they would die in an explosion!
Hearing this rumor, Long Yi merely laughed. He hadn’t thought of it that way. To him, this was a consequence of two conflicting energies clashing. The elixir was created from the essence of White Dragon’s Dragon Blood, and that fool had changed into the Black Dragon’s Dragon Power before the elixir was fully unleashed. The different powers collided, resulting in annihilation.
However, this rumor did expose the treacherous Dragon Knights, and the ones who had latent doubts came running to Long Yi for confession crying.
This saved Long Yi a lot of trouble.
But it did wake him up to create another kind of elixir for these disloyal Dragon Knights. The sole purpose of this elixir was to completely erase the original powers of the Dragon Knight.
With that, the Super Dragon Knight Plan was more or less concluded. Eventually, there were two thousand who could become Super Dragon Knights through the elixir. The rest were either physically unfit, mentally resistant or had problems coordinating with their Mount Dragons. For various reasons, they failed.
But that wasn’t a problem. Long Yi informed them that they could receive the elixir again at any time, as long as they met the qualifications.
The new Dragon Knights were touted as the new idols of the White Dragon Empire amidst massive public relations propaganda. Dragon horn decorations saw a surge in sales throughout the Empire, and Wesley’s family raked in profits. As the provider of the idea and the copyright owner of the dragon horn toys, Long Yi received a significant cut. Children could be seen everywhere wearing dragon horn headpieces and brandishing cork swords, shouting, "I am a Super Dragon Knight!" "No! You’re just an ordinary Dragon Knight, I’m the Super Dragon Knight!"
