Chapter 100: The Deciding Moment
The roar released by me at this moment was enough to negate all the barriers that had previously protected Elize’s territory. Not only that, my roar managed to reach the ears of Elize and the others. On the contrary, the roar that I let out at this moment managed to reach the ears of every living being within the Dragon Realm.
Within the Flame Empire, the Dragon Emperor, who was currently in a calm state, began to frown when he heard a mysterious and intimidating roar. A small part of the Dragon Emperor recalled the time he witnessed a human transform while that human fought against the young master of the Vermillion family.
Because the Dragon Emperor felt his bloodline as an ancient dragon being heavily suppressed, he couldn’t help but put on a half-wary expression. However, Lilith alone was enough for the Dragon Emperor to feel fear when he fought face to face with her.
Now, the figure of a human who could suppress every bloodline of the Dragon race had appeared in the world. Moreover, this human would become Lilith’s future son-in-law. Therefore, the Dragon Emperor was completely unable to suppress his wary expression as he recalled the events that had occurred in the arena.
"Your Majesty, we have completed what you previously instructed us to do. That girl... she will be born soon."
Incessant blinking could be seen in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes. Listening to the good news given by his subordinates about the birth of a girl was an event that the Dragon Emperor had been waiting for a long time. For that reason, the Dragon Emperor decided to step down from his throne and let his subordinates lead him into the laboratory.
From the start, the girl who would be born was the result of the merging of the bloodlines of a human and a powerful dragon. However, throughout his life, the Dragon Emperor knew that he couldn’t win against Lilith.
"Lilith, oh Lilith. I will show you that you are not the only one who can have a unique human by your side. Just wait a little longer. Once this is all over, you all will no longer be able to stand in my way!" Endless laughter could be heard coming from the Dragon Emperor’s mouth. Luckily, the Dragon Emperor’s subordinates didn’t pay any attention to the strange behavior shown by their master. On the contrary, they relentlessly maintained a calm demeanor as if they didn’t care about what was happening.
In another dimension of the Dragon Realm, the figure of Lilith, who had returned to her nest, began to frown. With one wave of her hand, Lucien’s figure appeared in the reflection of the giant mirror in front of Lilith.
"Lucien? Why did Miss Rossweisse give such a dangerous ability to my son-in-law? This woman should have known that the ability she gave could instantly drain someone’s mana."
Shakes of disbelief could be seen from Lilith. The situation unfolding now was far from ordinary. However, Lilith was the only dragon who knew the true capabilities of the Velvet Prostitute Physique.
From Lilith’s perspective as an ancient dragon, allowing the possessor of the Velvet Prostitute Physique to run amok excessively could easily bring destruction to the entire world. Therefore, Lilith continuously showed a helpless expression toward Rossweisse’s treatment of her son-in-law.
Various thoughts about whether she should go down personally to stop Lucien’s rampage surged through Lilith’s mind. However, there was no reason whatsoever for Lilith to intervene while Lucien was displaying his terrifying strength. Rossweisse’s presence beside Lucien was enough to put Lilith at ease.
"You have to take responsibility, Rossweisse. If something bad happens to my precious son-in-law, I will never let you go, even if you try to run away to the ends of the world."
The cold voice Lilith displayed at this moment reflected one of the vows she had made in her entire life. Lucien’s life was even more important than the lives of every living being throughout the world. In the end, Lucien was the only man born with the Velvet Prostitute Physique, and he had also provided tremendous help to Lilith when she faced the Dragon Emperor.
There is only one person in the whole world who can provide help to Lilith. Almost every obstacle Lilith overcame in the past was purely the result of her own hard work. Since a weak man had unexpectedly done her a favor, Lilith would not hesitate to do everything in her power to protect Lucien’s life.
Various roars that could deafen the ears spread endlessly throughout Elize’s territory. Even the outer part of Elize’s territory suffered such devastating effects that a giant mountain was destroyed. That alone was enough for Rossweisse to conclude that the transformation Lucien was displaying was his greatest one.
"This kid... Even though I only let him touch me without him realizing it. To think that the true function of the Mana Reversal ability could steal abilities from its opponents. I had expected it ever since I first created that ability."
A small grin began to spread across Rossweisse’s beautiful face. The theory Rossweisse had wanted to verify all this time was the true ability of Mana Reversal. For some reason, Lucien’s presence as Elize’s disciple made Rossweisse unable to restrain her desire to let him test the true power of Mana Reversal.
Now, Rossweisse’s goal had been fully achieved. There was no hesitation on her face as she confronted Lucien’s overwhelming power. On the contrary, her previously calm expression gradually turned into one of arrogance.
"Come and fight me. I want to see what you can do now when you face me."
As if provoked by the challenge Rossweisse had just given him, Lucien’s instincts began to emit a dangerous aura that caused the forests surrounding Elize’s territory to tremble. Lucien’s two dark eyes locked onto Rossweisse’s figure.
Both Rossweisse and Lucien were now preparing to unleash their incredibly powerful attacks. Likewise, Lucien was preparing to fly straight toward Rossweisse. The speed he displayed in his dragon form far surpassed any speed he had demonstrated before.
Ultrasonic waves capable of destroying everything in the area began to have a tremendous impact on Rossweisse’s defensive barrier. A cracking sound echoed from within the barrier. For some reason, a mysterious smile involuntarily appeared on Rossweisse’s face.
"Master’s defensive barrier was broken through? What the hell is Cien? He’s even stronger than I could have ever expected."
For now, there was no expression on Elize’s face other than sheer shock. In Elize’s entire life, this was the first time she had witnessed someone break through her master’s defensive barrier.
