I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 368 Desperate

"Ugh!!"

The demon Isis struggled in panic in the fog, just one step away from being able to teleport to Fred through the contract.

However, when the mist spit out by the red dragon hit her, her teleportation was forcibly interrupted.

The blessing of "Destruction" added a spell-breaking effect to Ganon's breath, temporarily blocking the contract between Isis and Fred.

Isis fluttered her wings and rushed out of the fog. However, as soon as she rushed out of the fog, a huge dragon claw appeared out of thin air and grabbed her tightly. The terrifying force immediately poured into her body, making her clear. He felt the pain of his body being crushed.

At this time, the Triumph, whose deck was ignited, had already rushed a hundred meters away. It was still within the distance that Ganon could catch up with or even attack directly.

The Conquest further away, under the cover of other ships, escaped to the middle of Ganon's territory, and was still accelerating.

But Ganon didn't care about them at all, but held Isis tightly, as if he was afraid that the demon would escape.

"I surrender to you, great true dragon!" Isis tried her best to force out her voice and begged for mercy, "I am just a demon who acts according to the contract, please let me go."

The contract was blocked, and Fred's order to resist to the end was invalidated. Now she did not hesitate to beg for mercy from Ganon. This was not a problem for the devil.

Zhenna flew over and sighed to Ganon: "Ganoen, Fred..."

"Sorry, I failed to stop it." Salil also flew over with a somewhat frustrated expression.

"My lord, there is some troublesome news." Baphomet's voice rang in Ganon's mind. "The Watchers monitored that the Imperial Empress Fred moved to another large airship, and her My husband Lucio met up, and then immediately reopened the gate of the abyss and moved outside this territory. I speculate that they probably went directly back to the territory of the empire."

"It doesn't matter, they can't escape, it's the same wherever they go." Ganon's eyes moved to Isis, who was clutching tightly in his paws, "I have already ensured a way to catch them, this time we must do something End it."
-

The capital of the Dragon Backbone Empire, the Dragon Head Palace.

Lucio stood in the hall, looking back and forth, and finally determined where they were.

"Fred, why?" He turned around and looked at Fred in confusion.

He originally thought that Fred would teleport them to Longkou Fortress or some other military stronghold. Fred had arranged contractors at various important locations.

But he didn't expect that Fred would teleport them directly back to the palace, take him back to the hall where the throne was placed, and send all the guards away to stay alone with him.

They really needed to escape from that battlefield. Fred was the king of a country, and he was the commander-in-chief of a country. They could lose an expedition, but they could not be captured, let alone killed.

But there is no need for them to withdraw here directly. In fact, what they need most now is to return to the fortress and organize defense to prevent the red dragon from pursuing and invading and destroying the military facilities on the border.

Fred did not answer his question, but turned around silently, slowly climbed the steps, sat down on the throne, and leaned on the back of the chair with some exhaustion.

She was indeed very tired. She kept using the key that could open the door to the abyss on the battlefield, and her magic power was almost at its bottom.

"Lucio." Fred called softly.

"I'm here." Lucio suddenly felt that Fred's aura had changed.

The Fred he saw in the past was always confident and calm as he wanted to control everything, but now, her expression was indifferent, her eyes were dim, and she was tired that could not be concealed.

This was indeed an unprecedented defeat, but Lucio didn't feel that this blow was enough to destroy her will.

"Remember? This is where I officially canonized you. At the dance held here, you were so nervous that you stepped on my foot." Fred said.

"Why are you recalling these things at this time?" Lucio had already noticed something was wrong. "Have you ever regretted following me?" Fred didn't answer, looking at Lucio and asked.

Lucio was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, but he soon realized something.

"Never." Lucio replied solemnly.

"Even now?" Fred asked.

"Never changed." Lucio replied firmly.

"Do you remember what I told you? The path I take may lead to a bad death for me, and so will you." Fred said.

"I remember most of what you said." Lucio nodded lightly.

"So..." Fred asked.

"Dying because of you is the least regrettable way for me to die." This time Lucio answered before Fred.

"Thank you." A smile appeared on Fred's tired face, "You will always be my favorite sword."

After a long silence, Lucio asked: "So, that time is coming."

"Yeah." Fred gave the shortest answer.

At this point, Lucio stopped asking any unnecessary questions and only answered: "I understand."

From this point on, they didn't say another word.

Time passed by, no matter how long it passed, Fred finally felt the disturbance in the space.

The invisible force distorted the space in the center of the hall, and a crack suddenly appeared, and then slowly opened.

The gate of the abyss emerged.

Ganon, who had transformed into a human form, crossed the door first, followed closely by Zhenna holding a sub-artifact shield, followed by Salil in succubus form. Salil held a cursed chain made of magic power in her hand, dragging behind her. Looking at the unconscious Isis who was sealed by the chains.

Fred took a deep breath and accepted the result.

In order to escape in time, she had to leave Isis behind. For her, the successful recall of Isis was the best outcome, and being killed was not bad. The worst outcome was to be captured by the opponent.

Although she didn't understand why the Seraph could turn into a succubus, since the other party had the magic power of an abyss lord, she could use Isis's contract to open the abyss door as an anchor and follow the clues to find her location.

Ganon naturally considered this method, because they had already used it once when they conquered Hilmeria in the abyss.

When he succeeded in capturing Isis alive, Fred was already at the end of his rope.

Because he was mentally prepared, Lucio did not look surprised. Instead, he drew his long sword and stood in front of the steps leading to the throne, while Fred was still sitting on the throne, as if receiving guests.

"It's really ironic. Our grievances are quite deep, but when it comes time to settle them, we met and talked for the first time, Fred." Ganouen broke the silence first and looked straight at him with eyes filled with lava light. Looking at Fred, exuding strong coercion, "Forgive me for not calling you Her Majesty the Queen - because you will soon be no longer."
