Chapter 86: Archenemy
"Betraying the empire? Where’s the joke? Don’t be kidding. Tell your side that I wasn’t on your side at all from the start!"
With one wave from Elize, every living being within a radius of hundreds of meters turned into frozen blocks of ice. Not a single person in that place was able to move after being struck by Elize’s Ice Element.
For some reason, intense heat began to surround every side of the Dragonia Kingdom’s border region. Three powerful dragon figures appeared outside the borders of the Dragonia Kingdom. They were the three elders of the Vermillion family.
The three elders of the Vermillion family had been assigned by the family’s leader to guard the border region. However, the Frost Empress, who was considered the strongest and youngest dragon, had managed to break through and reach the Dragon Emperor stage.
There was no reason for the leader of the Vermillion family to hesitate in sending the main force of the Vermillion family to the border of the Vermillion family’s territory. Therefore, the auras of Elize and the three elders of the Vermillion family began to collide endlessly with one another.
"Incredibly great power. It is very domineering and different from the King of Dragonia. This girl is by no means an ordinary young dragon!"
"Why don’t we work together to take her down? She won’t have any chance of winning against the three of us."
Contemplating the situation, the oldest elder frowned after hearing his colleague’s intentions. There was no reason for the three elders to start a major battle against the troops of the Dragonia Kingdom.
The commander of the Dragonia Kingdom continuously showed a nervous expression as he felt the pressure from the four Dragon Emperor stage experts. In the commander’s entire life, this was the first time he had felt such terrifying pressure from such a close distance.
Unexpectedly, the figure of a man surrounded by five beautiful women was seen floating behind Elize. My face, which had previously looked half dead, began to show a helpless expression. At the same time, the pressure from the four Dragon Emperor stage dragons involuntarily woke me from my chaotic thoughts.
Both Athena and I immediately prepared ourselves when we felt the pressure from the three Dragon Emperor stage experts. Athena’s two sharp gazes continuously instilled fear within the three elders. For some reason, expressions of discomfort appeared on the faces of the three elders.
"How could they appear at the same time? I couldn’t even sense the presence of all six of them before."
Elize’s face continuously showed a blank expression after feeling the presence of her lover and the other women. There had never been a day when Elize witnessed a moment where her lover and the other women could suddenly appear behind her. However, this was the first time Elize had witnessed her lover’s ability to move people thousands of meters away instantly.
"Lucien Blackheart?! That was the brat who attacked our young master earlier. What should we do now?"
None of the troops from the Vermillion family could contain their hatred when they saw the presence of their young master’s enemy. To the troops of the Vermillion family, I was no different from a man they had to kill anytime and anywhere.
Feeling the immense hatred shown by the troops of the Vermillion family, I couldn’t help but avert my gaze from the looks they were giving me. Nothing good would happen if I responded to every insult the forces of the Vermillion family directed at me.
Even though the Vermillion family was the reason Charles got badly injured when he fought face-to-face with me in the first place, I did not care at all about Charles’s previous condition. On the contrary, I felt very happy when I found out how Charles had been punished for daring to act arrogantly in front of the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom.
I had completely succeeded in fulfilling my promise to the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom. For that reason, I had no problems at all standing in front of them. However, every citizen of the Dragonia Kingdom had fully recognized me as the next candidate for the Dragon King.
"Our Master is very famous. I’m sure you will be able to cause even more chaos for the enemy, just like what happened now."
A coughing sound involuntarily escaped my mouth after listening to Tina’s words. Every sentence Tina said about me was enough to show how reckless I was. Still, any troops visible in the border region of the Dragonia Kingdom were simply not worthy opponents for me.
"Hmph. Lize, leave the problems here to me. You and Hena should retreat with the others. From the start, I was the one they were after."
"But Cien... wouldn’t it be a problem if you fought face-to-face against three Dragon Emperor stage dragons alone?"
The confident expression I showed at that moment continuously filled Elize with nervousness. This was the first time Elize had witnessed her disciple fighting face-to-face against three Dragon Emperor stage dragons. Even though this wasn’t my first time fighting a Dragon Emperor stage dragon, the three dragons before me were much stronger than Charles had been.
The intense pressure emitting from the bodies of the three dragons ceaselessly melted the ice that had previously engulfed the entire region. Athena, Elize, and the other women decided to retreat dozens of meters away. However, a battle between powerful dragons could easily destroy everything around that place.
The extraordinary battle that occurred when I fought Charles earlier was enough to show the destruction that such a fight could bring. That was one of the reasons why no one in that place dared to get within dozens of meters of a battle between powerful dragons. For some reason, a disgusting laugh could be heard coming from one of the three older dragons.
Almost every member of the Vermillion family present there hated the human man standing before them. From the perspective of the Vermillion family, killing me was no different from raising their status within the family and the empire.
The name Lucien had managed to instill fear in every citizen of the empire. Since the first time Lucien displayed his strength by killing thousands of troops from the Vermillion family, almost every citizen of the empire had considered Lucien to be the second Lilith, someone capable of destroying the empire at any moment.
"Ha ha ha! We have no choice but to fight! First Elder, I hope you won’t be offended if the three of us work together to defeat that human brat."
After pondering for a while, the oldest dragon shook his head before finally sighing. It had simply never been part of the three dragons’ plans to fight face-to-face against the enemy of their young master.
Since that human had dared to challenge the three elders of the Vermillion family, they would not hesitate to display their full strength against him. The three dragons could not afford to waste the opportunity given by the opposing side to face their archenemy.
