hunt and eat

It is necessary to break through Xiu Gulet's defense in front of him.

Yes, defense.

Even when he threw himself out just now, Nuo Kexi could clearly feel that the other party didn't have too much intention of attacking, and most of them just didn't let him enter the royal city.

Whether it's based on guilt or other considerations, there is no doubt that for Nuo Kexi at the moment, this may barely be regarded as good news.

But the bad news is that this may be the only good news.

"We must break through quickly, Mana, Hastings..."

As he kept murmuring the names of his wife and children, a deeper blue light gradually appeared in Nokexi's eyes, and it shot out again the moment his knees were bent.

This time, he didn't attack King Shurad, who was called the barrier of despair, but tried to jump off the edge of the city wall on one side and directly break into the center of the royal court.

Although his eyesight is not particularly good, Noxi can still vaguely see a lot of sparse figures in the center of the royal court below, led by some who seem to be attendants, towards the final Go to the central hall, which is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

"It's a good idea, but if you think it will be successful, it's too arrogant."

A calm voice suddenly sounded from behind Nuo Kexi.

The next moment, Nokexi, who had already started to fall with half of his body, suddenly felt a huge hand like iron pincers tightly holding his calf.

Turning his head ferociously, looking at the beard and hair that was close to Chi Chi, looking at his old face like a lion, Nuo Kexi let out a filial piety, slashed the huge sword in his hand, and slashed fiercely at the opponent from the side waist.

However, before the giant sword fell in a real sense, a huge force suddenly erupted, and the world before Noxie's eyes was completely turned upside down and chaotic.

boom!

Under the walls of the inner city, a large building complex exploded again, raising dust that covered the sky and the ground.

"Pfft~"

Struggling to get up, Noxi resisted the severe pain gradually emerging from all parts of his body, and slowly stood up leaning on the giant sword.

"Whether it is your will or your body, you are far from reaching your limit, Noxie."

On the city wall, Xiu Guretegu opened his mouth slowly, looking at the figure below.

For some reason, there was a hint of regret in his tone.

"Give up, now you can't be my opponent."

"what!!!"

Before he finished speaking, Noxi, covered in blood, rushed out of the ruins again. His figure seemed to skip a frame and flashed a distance of tens of meters one after another. Seeing that, he passed the top of Xiugulet's head again and fell further and further down. The closer the main hall.

"Eh……"

With his back facing the tall figure of Noxie, he just sighed in a low voice.

In the next instant, golden waves rose from the ground.

Amidst the loud noise, the city wall where Xiu Gulet was originally standing collapsed.

The fist wrapped in endless qi suddenly emerged from the void below Noxie, and imprinted it unreservedly on the defenseless stomach.

In an instant, Noxi's body was bent into a boiled shrimp, and countless violent air waves shot out from behind her.

At that moment, he even had the illusion that his intestines were smashed by a punch.

Before he had time to spit out a mouthful of blood, Nokexi, who was punched in the stomach by Xiu Gulet, turned into a meteor visible to the naked eye, swept through the void of a hundred meters, and plunged into a tower more than ten meters high in the distance among.

Boom!

The half-brick, half-timbered tower collapsed amid the splashes of rubble.

"Is this the end..."

King Schrader looked at the smoke and dust in the sky caused by the collapse of the tower, and said in a low voice.

Almost at the same time, a dazzling red light rose from the majestic royal palace behind him, and then turned into an extremely thick beam of light reaching the sky, reaching straight into the clouds.

"Time is up."

Leaning forward slightly, Xiu Gulet jumped down, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into the sky-high red light centered on the Royal Court Hall.

At the same time that Xiu Gulet was submerged in it, a hunchbacked figure dripping with blood fell down at the same time like a mad dog, bumping its head against the outside of the barrier-like red light.

"No!"

Amidst the mournful roar, Noxi, who was covered in fine wounds all over her body, with half of her arms hanging down on her chest, recklessly hit the crimson barrier that couldn't get close at all.

But apart from the illusory ripples that constantly appear, there is not even a single crack on the red light barrier, like an eternal and unbreakable barrier of despair.

"Mana! Hastings!"

One punch... two punches... ten punches...

Noxi kept bombarding the barrier in front of her, even though her ten fingers were cracked and broken by the counter-shock force, she didn't have the slightest intention to stop.

The faintly visible screams and the muffled sound of the blade cutting through the flesh came intermittently from the invisible palace hall, but was completely covered by a strange singing sound, which turned into a supporting red light that continued to sublimate A strong source of motivation.

Although he couldn't see the situation inside clearly, in Nokexi's perception, all kinds of vitality that originally filled the hall were shattered one by one, and within a short period of tens of breaths, they completely turned into a unified and huge complete entity.

Nuo Kexi, who was in a state of embarrassment, stared blankly at a huge flower bag rising from the red light curtain, his expression gradually turned ferocious and resentful.

"Shu Gulet!"

In the next second, the crimson flower bag that was almost close to the sky completely bloomed, turned into a full twelve petals, and fell in all directions.

[Sacrifice Rituals · King's Blood Alchemy]

Amidst the loud roar, Noxi's figure completely disappeared in the endless red light erupting like a tsunami.

Chapter 117 Humans, ancient dragons... Heh, let's all die!

I don't know how long it took.

In a corner of the ruins of the city, amidst the intermittent sound of mud and rocks, a palm with not much intact flesh and flesh, which faintly exposed pale bones, suddenly stretched out from the ruined wall as if it had exhausted its last bit of strength.

Immediately afterwards, as countless sand, gravel and mud tiles gradually fell apart, a distorted human figure struggled to crawl out of the ruins like a maggot.

"Huh~ha..."

Adapting to the light of the outside world a little bit, Nuo Kexi, who had been unconscious in the ruins for an unknown how long, raised his head with great difficulty.

Then I saw the sky completely covered by countless flying dragons and airships.

The gunfire resounding through the sky and the colorful dragon's breath, in the constant interaction, painted the unclear sky into indescribable strange colors.

The whistling wind and the roar of the man and the dragon reached his ears, making Noxi, who didn't have much energy left, even more dizzy.

And on the horizon farther away, flickering flames rose from time to time, illuminating the dark crowd and dragon shadows in the distance.

"Did those ancient dragons... arrive early?"

Muttering without the slightest emotion, Noxi leaned on the ground with her elbows, barely moved her body, leaned on a leaning stone pillar, and looked straight up.

There, a huge dragon shadow between crimson and jet black was constantly fighting with a black dragon whose shape was very similar, but faintly much larger.

From the latter's body, Noxi could vaguely feel a deep curse and hatred, as thick as ink that could not be melted.

At this time, the turbulent energy impact was centered on the two giant dragons, continuously setting off never-ending waves, spreading far into the surrounding void, annihilating and shattering all creatures that dared to approach.

That is the domain of battle between [Kings] only!

"Mana...Hatings..."

In the end, whispering the names of his wife and children, Noxi smiled miserably and looked at the pitch-black dragon that he had never seen before, with unstoppable tears in the corners of his eyes.

He knew that King Shurad finally succeeded... a new king was born.

For the human side, this may represent the last hope of defeating the ancient dragons.

But to him, it was just a despair that was more frightening than the deepest nightmare... Everything was irreparable.

"Humans, ancient dragons... Heh, let's all die."

Looking blankly at the bloody battlefield like a meat grinder in the distance, and the mutilated corpses of the two camps falling from the top of his head from time to time, Noxi cursed in a low voice with the most venomous tone.

After completely losing everything, the man in front of him no longer had the slightest desire for life.

Every minute and every second of living and breathing is just the most painful torture right now.

boom!

Just when Noxi was distracted, a huge dragon shadow fell from a high altitude, and happened to land on the open space beside him.

The gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, and one half of the body was hit by the howitzer, and the steel dragon with shattered scales scattered all over the ground, roaring and getting up again.

Although falling from such a height, it would not cause too much damage to the powerful physical fitness of the ancient dragon species.

The laws of physics in this world are like this. Unless it is an extremely exaggerated height, the damage caused by the fall can be said to be very limited, not fatal at all.

Flapping some not-so-bright wings, Steel Dragon was about to return to the high-altitude battlefield, but from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly spotted Nuo Kexi with his head hanging down, who didn't even look at him.

Damn humans... despise me?

The Steel Dragon, who had just suffered a small loss in the hands of the humans, directly gave up the plan to jump into the air, instead raised a strong forelimb, and slammed heavily at Nokexi who seemed to have no time to dodge below.

Hearing the crackling sound of the air exploding above his head and the huge wind pressure that almost pushed him to the ground, Nuo Kexi probably understood what happened, but he still looked too lazy to move, just staring at him in a daze. down the ground.

If he just died like this... that's fine.

However, just when he thought his meaningless life could finally come to an end, a dragon's roar that was completely different from that of the steel dragon suddenly rose from one side.

Immediately after, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by the shrill scream from the steel dragon.

Turning his head slowly, Noxi tilted his head and looked to the side.

There, the steel dragon that was about to launch an offensive was thrown at him by a purple monster that was much smaller in size and had a strange appearance. Even the back of its neck was bitten tightly by the opponent's sharp fangs. Dead pressed above the ground.

An ancient dragon species that I have never seen before... Internal strife?

Noxi Gujing looked at everything in front of him calmly, and sighed softly.

Is it so difficult to want to die?

As a large amount of poisonous mist between green and dark purple continued to spread from the purple ancient dragon's mouth, the steel dragon's expression became more ugly, and its resistance became more violent.

But no matter how hard it struggled, the small ancient dragon was still firmly pressed on its body, and a pair of protruding horror eyes looked at Nokexi not far away, while whipping it with its curly thick tail. Holding the back of the steel dragon.

I don't know how long it took, as the steel dragon's body suddenly softened, the weird purple ancient dragon also let go of its mouth, allowing the steel dragon's body, which had completely lost its life, to fall to the ground.

In Noxi's eyes, a hint of surprise flashed unobservably.

Although the steel dragon, an ancient dragon species with extremely strong physical defense, has extremely low resistance to poison, it is still an ancient dragon like a natural disaster. It was poisoned and died in such a short period of time, which is enough to show that the purple monster is poisonous. violently.

However, why would the other party help him?

Noxi glanced at the weird ancient dragon who was gradually moving towards her not far away, thinking silently in her heart.

Wait...fuchsia?

There are also those protruding eyeballs, and the long, thin and thick tongue that grows so scary that it sticks out from time to time. Isn't this...

"Purple Taro?" Noxi raised his head in disbelief and murmured.

The moment he heard the word "Purple Taro", the terrifying monster that killed the steel dragon stopped suddenly, and then licked Noxi's head with its long tongue excitedly.

That kind of intimate action completely confirmed the not-so-convincing conjecture in Noxi's heart.

"It turned into an ancient dragon... How is this possible?"

Although it was unbelievable, the facts were in front of his eyes, and Noxi would not forcefully deny all of this.

"Is it because of the same integration into the blood of the ancient dragon? Or is it because of some unforeseen mutation during the sacrificial ceremony?"

Thinking of the sacrificial ceremony, endless sadness flooded my heart again like a tide.

Probably sensing Noxie's depression, Zitaro, who inexplicably turned into an ancient dragon, let out a low growl, and looked at the increasingly chaotic battle above his head with great vigilance.

After hesitating for a moment, Zi Taro suddenly stuck out his curled tongue, and tied up No Kexi, who was not struggling at all, and his body, which was more than ten meters long, quickly disappeared from the spot.

The sound of flapping wings gradually sounded from the empty ruins.

As the string of thick footprints got farther and farther away, there was nothing left at the scene except the whimpering wind and the ruins of the city bathed in flames.
