Chapter 67 Benefactor
Chapter 67 Benefactor
Xia Mi was well aware that her enemy was neither a hybrid nor a human who was still unaware of the truth.
Her greatest enemies were her dear brothers and sisters.
The four kings of the dragon race have never been a monolithic entity.
They fought and slaughtered each other, their respective families waging endless battles for their kings in the ancient and primordial era, even dyeing the sea red.
But all of this changed after the quiet rise of hybrids.
These humans, in order to fight against the dragons, used despicable means to steal bloodlines and produce offspring of different species, and from the beginning of their lives, they were branded with the mark of slaying dragons.
Initially, the dragons looked down on humans, who, though united, were very weak.
They regarded them only as the lowest of slaves, the foundation stones of the vast dragon empire.
However, everything changed after the emergence of hybrids.
Although their power is negligible compared to that of pure-blooded dragons, they understand the importance of unity and cooperation.
While the four kings were locked in battle, hybrids and humans quickly rose to power and defeated them one by one.
However, this is only the history described by the mixed-race people; the real situation is often much more complicated.
The strength of the first generation of species was incomparable to that of hybrid dragons.
They call them the Four Great Kings, but they are more accurately described as the embodiment of the Four Elements.
Therefore, death is never the end for them, but the beginning of the next journey.
They will return like lightning!
Xia Mi's thoughts flowed like a spring, with all sorts of strange and wonderful ideas popping up one after another.
This is normal, after all, it has been almost a month since she was trapped in the snake's body, and now that she has suddenly gained power, she feels a little giddy.
But these thoughts came and went quickly, and Xia Mi soon gathered her thoughts and looked at the mysterious black-armored man who was almost swallowed up by the quicksand and mud.
The opponent's strength is not to be underestimated; it would be a real shame to kill him like this.
It would be better to take it for ourselves and prepare for the inevitable Ragnarok.
But Lu Mingfei did not reply, and even gave up struggling, letting the mud and sand swallow him up without moving.
It's as if they've already given up on their lives.
Xia Mi was not just talking; she saw that the mysterious black-armored man remained silent, his eyes coldly fixed on her every move, until the mud and sand swallowed his head, at which point he blinked.
It's finally over, and the ultimate winner is her, the true Queen of the Earth and Mountains.
Xia Mi swayed her enormous dragon body, and after gaining power, the latter half of her body, which had merged with the mountain wall, slowly returned to its original color.
Within the rock face, the joints of the bones slowly grew out, and even the beginnings of blood vessels appeared inside the gradually activating rock.
If given a little more time, Xia Mi could escape from Nibelungen, a place that is both a palace and a prison.
Freedom is within reach!
As she was fully focused on reshaping her body, Xia Mi naturally relaxed her surveillance of her surroundings. After all, in her opinion, there was nothing in this underground space that could threaten her anymore.
Time passed second by second, but just as her body was about to take shape, a strange change occurred.
A black light suddenly flashed by, and bluish-purple flames ignited from the source of the black light.
Norton broke free from the black cocoon and escaped from it.
"Good! Very good!"
"My cowardly sister, you finally devoured your foolish brother."
Black flames burned on his body, and a viscous, oily substance dripped onto the ground, each drop creating a black spark.
"Now that all irrelevant personnel have been cleared out, it is time for a showdown between kings."
"It's a pity that the weapon I specially crafted for you isn't with you."
Norton shook his head, and the wreckage of the subway train not far away rapidly disintegrated and reassembled.
Under the ultimate alchemy, it was compressed again and again, and soon transformed into a giant, crimson sword.
Even though it was forged in such a hasty manner, the weapon, forged by the dragon king who held the power of fire, was still incomparably sharp.
Xia Mi's expression darkened the moment she saw Norton.
She forgot that the other party was sealed by the mysterious black-armored man. Now that the black-armored man has been dealt with and out of control, the irritable dragon king has also been able to escape. In this light, she has actually helped the other party.
Thinking of this, Xia Mi's heart stirred. Instead of rushing to make a move, she spoke in a deep voice.
"It's been thousands of years since we last met. Are we supposed to start fighting as soon as we meet? In that case, I'd say I'm your savior, wouldn't you say?"
"My benefactor?" Norton burst into laughter, and everything on his body turned into burning black flames, with only his face barely recognizable as the old Donald.
It seems that even during the short time he was restrained, he did not give up on saving himself.
The collision between its own domain and Lu Mingfei's black fluid has resulted in this strange situation.
"When has the word 'benefactor' even appeared in our dictionary? Even without a massive army, doesn't the final battle still have to be a duel between kings?"
He swung his greatsword fiercely, splitting a boulder that had suddenly fallen in two, and then charged forward.
Seeing that Norton had already rushed over, Xia Mi no longer had time to think about activating the dragon's body.
She pushed the domain to its maximum, and the entire Nibelungen began to shake violently under her control.
But this is just the beginning.
Norton seems to be burning through his life essence and his lifespan.
Moreover, the strange black flames wrapped around his sword would not be extinguished even when it was exposed to stone; instead, they continued to burn intensely and spread.
Faced with this situation, Xia Mi was overwhelmed and unable to organize an effective resistance.
Moreover, she had only just merged with the body and couldn't unleash her full power, so she was temporarily at a disadvantage.
Soon, several wounds appeared on her massive dragon body. Eerie black flames burned slowly and continuously at the wounds like a bone-deep infection, causing Xia Mi so much pain that she could hardly concentrate.
Norton seized this opportunity.
The giant sword in his hand suddenly grew several times larger, and taking advantage of Xia Mi's momentary lapse in attention, he swung it down.
A painful howl echoed endlessly in the underground space.
Xia Mina's dragon body, which had merged with the rock wall, was cleaved in two by this sword. Blood gushed from the wound, and the stone wall body, which had been gradually coming to life, gradually lost the luster and color that flesh should have.
"Norton!" Xia Mi roared, uttering the name of the culprit. Her dragon body was broken, and she would not be able to recover to her former peak for a long time.
"You've ruined my path! You deserve to die!" she blurted out the words she had heard from Lu Mingfei.
"Hmm?" Norton hummed softly.
But his attention wasn't on Xia Mi, who was now barking like a defeated dog. He stared at the ground not far away, which had become a quicksand area, lost in thought.
He sensed a familiar aura emanating from him.
