From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 354 Assassination of the King (Part Two)
A smile appeared on Norton's face.

Although they were far apart, Nono could still sense that the Dragon King's smile contained a chilling aura.

Soon, the answer was revealed.

The Dragon King removed the iron mask from the Dragon Servant, his hands flowing with scorching flames, and then suddenly plunged it into the Dragon Servant's head.

The dragon trembled violently, but its deep-seated loyalty kept it going. It let out a dying groan and slowly closed its golden eyes.

The blazing flames burned away the dragon's brain.

The dragon endured immense pain without moving, and its lifeless body remained unchanged until the end.

The Dragon King stood up and took a step forward.

Stepping into the empty skull of the dragon servant, he raised his arms high towards the sky. Intense light flowed from his entire body towards the dragon's body, and a pillar of fire shot into the air. With a hoarse roar, the dragon's body trembled violently, and its huge dragon eyes opened and closed. In its extinguished pupils, a single golden flame burned like a solitary lamp.

Rumble!
The main hall was shaking, and a scorching heat was rising.

As the roar grew louder, the golden flames also rose, quickly igniting the enormous dragon's eye. The dead dragon spread its wings once more, and all its scales opened, emitting a piercing metallic scraping sound.

That enormous heart, which had already stopped beating, pounded like a war drum.

The dragon shape, once again twisting and stretching, seemed about to take flight.

After a thousand years of silence, the Dragon King Norton once again reigns supreme over the world as a monarch.

"Then... come on!"

The Dragon King's gaze fell upon the wild and violent, almost completely irrational, dark blue figure. A chilling killing intent seemed to fill the entire space.

"Roar!!!"

Amidst a painful roar, Chu Zihang, like a streak of dark blue light, dragged a domain of intense heat and flames as he raced across the boiling lake water, heading straight for the Dragon King!
It was so fast that it was almost beyond the range of what the naked eye could perceive.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Zihang had already rushed to the front of the main hall. The edge of the Village Rain Blade sliced ​​through the air, imbued with the explosive power of the Sovereign Flame, and slashed diagonally downwards from below.

However, Norton, who had merged with Samson's dragon body and regained some of the Dragon King's power, was still slightly inferior.

As if responding to Chu Zihang, Norton let out a deafening battle roar, his bluish-gray muscles bulging several times their normal size, the layers of dragon scales rubbing together with a piercing sound, as he manipulated this enhanced dragon body to meet the attack head-on.

boom!
The alloy alchemy blade failed to break through the Dragon King's defenses, only scattering dazzling sparks and leaving faint white marks from the slashes.

Conversely, the Dragon King's power surged forth like a tidal wave, sending Chu Zihang flying back dozens of meters. After landing, he proudly raised his head, his savage golden eyes locking onto the Dragon King. Without the slightest delay, he bent his legs and exerted tremendous force.

boom!
The hard bronze was blasted into cracks.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Zihang charged at the Dragon King again, like a wild beast that would not stop until it bit off the opponent's neck. His attacks came one after another, relentless and as powerful as a storm.

Each strike was delivered with all his might. Although he had lost his mind, his killing instincts were perfectly unleashed, bringing out the memories of this body. His attacks became increasingly ferocious as he dodged and weaved!

Throat, heart, head... In just over ten seconds, Chu Zihang made Norton feel deeply troubled, actually being completely suppressed by a hybrid in close combat.

One strike might not be enough to shatter the Dragon King's defenses, but... what if it were ten, a hundred, or a thousand strikes?
Samson's body was cleaved with countless bloody gashes, each one deep enough to expose bone. The Dragon King, who had merged with him, was in a sorry state. Perhaps because this was not his true body, he was a little slow to control it. Chu Zihang was keenly aware of this and seized the opportunity to relentlessly attack him!

Word of Power: Lord's Flame!
Finally, Norton could no longer bear it. The raging fire, like a surging, turbulent wave, carrying extreme heat and explosion, forcibly blasted Chu Zihang back several meters.

In the blink of an eye, before he could even catch his breath, Chu Zihang was chasing after him again. Norton roared with triumphant battle cries, and as his dragon body stretched out, his bulging muscles grew several times larger, producing the sound of thousands of bowstrings exploding.

"Come!"

Norton's eyes burned with golden flames, and his limbs stomped down suddenly, like a streak of bluish-gray lightning, smashing the air into layers of air rings, and the ear-piercing sonic boom resounded through the sky.

Both sides seemed to have completely lost their minds. The creatures at the top of the food chain became like bloodthirsty beasts, entangled with each other and doing everything possible to kill the other!
They fought their way from the bronze palace all the way to the lake.
The fierce battle spilled dragon blood onto the lake.

The scalding, boiling dragon blood was like a rain of fire. The extreme heat mixed with explosions caused the water level of the entire lake to drop by several centimeters, and a large amount of hot water vapor spread out.

The raging flames illuminated the billowing bronze dome in a fiery red hue, and the earth-shattering roar seemed to carry a hint of tragedy and desolation.

A ferocious and tyrannical black shadow, covered in bronze-colored scales, swept across the sky with wings like blades, instantly stirring up huge air waves. The ear-piercing sonic booms, like thunder, resounded above the collapsing bronze temple.

Ancient and solemn dragon script permeates the space.

The Dragon King stood tall and proud, gathering violent fire elements. His body resembled a sun, constantly pushing the temperature to a climax. Ripples, like waves spreading in the void, quickly spread throughout the entire palace.

As the towering, supreme fire king chanted its final song, the fire elements gathered at a single point erupted with an extreme, dazzling light comparable to a star—no… it was a real star, blindingly brilliant!
That's... the power of words!
Even though it was a dream, Constantine instinctively recognized the true name of the Word of Power immediately.

Words of Power: Heaven and Earth as a Furnace!
Serial number: 96.

Risk level: Moderate.

Within the realm centered on the liberator, metals can be smelted out of thin air and manipulated or reassembled into other forms at will.

However, this applies only to mixed-race individuals.

If the releaser were changed to a Dragon King level, then 'Heaven and Earth as Furnace' would be equivalent to an unlimited giant furnace, capable of melting a mountain-sized amount of bronze into the desired shape!
The bronze, melted by extreme heat, resembled a torrent of fiery magma, cascading down from the torn bronze dome like a mighty Milky Way.

However, this time, the Dragon King's enemy is Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang, who has completely degenerated into a Deadpool, has a dragon blood concentration in his body that even surpasses that of the next generation.

Although not as powerful as the true Dragon King, Norton, who had a portion of his bone marrow transplanted but never fully restored his original form and merely borrowed Samson's body to forcibly acquire the Dragon King's power, was not much different from the real one.

If we had to point out the difference between the two, it would be that the Dragon King Norton still retains some 'power' and possesses independent consciousness, making him slightly superior.

Both sides have reasons why they absolutely cannot lose.
