Chapter 576-574: The Tragedy of the Green Dragon Knight (Part 2)

In any case, the last period of the New Divine Calendar 316 and the beginning of 317 were unusually quiet throughout the Old World.

Perhaps it's because of Christmas and divine grace that everyone is celebrating and hoping the terrible year will end soon.

Or perhaps the allied forces and the empire were already exhausted, and even as powerful as they were, they were like wounded beasts licking their wounds.

According to incomplete statistics, as many as five million soldiers and ten million civilians have died in the Old World, while fifteen million have been wounded.
Three hundred cities were reduced to ruins, and the resulting economic losses were astronomical.

Therefore, at the end of this year and the beginning of this year, both sides entered a state of silence on the long front.

The oppressive atmosphere prevented them from celebrating holidays together as they had at the beginning of the war.
However, neither side's soldiers were willing to fire, let alone launch an attack. Even when high-ranking officers issued strong orders, they were tacitly ignored.

In Luo Yi's view, this was a world of extraordinary beings, with terrifyingly powerful high-end combat forces.

Otherwise, a peasant uprising would have broken out long ago and overthrown everything.

As for the Flower Clan, they also had a peaceful year.

The curse of the Day of Grace has long been broken!
With Luo Yi's current strength and prestige, and the strength of the Flower Territory, no one dares to provoke him.

Of course, the fact that no one dared to cause him trouble meant that he was now entitled to cause trouble for others.

So, after the two major holidays of Christmas and Divine Grace, and as January of the new Divine Calendar 317 approached, when the various trades in the Flower Territory entered the settlement phase again, Loy chose to leave.

This time, the ancient red dragon Virgil revealed its enormous form, and amidst the roars of dragons, it carried Loy and disappeared into the horizon.

Below, countless people looked up; some remained calm, while others were as anxious as ants on a hot plate.

The spies from various countries looked at the red dragon's back with fear. After only a moment's hesitation, they used every means to send the message back as quickly as possible.

The combat power at the pinnacle of the prime material plane is like a nuclear weapon; no matter where it is aimed, it is terrifying.

However, their fear didn't last long before clear news arrived.

Holy Dragon Knight Loy Raymond sought out another dragon knight, Green Dragon Knight Quentin Perkins.

Anyone who knew the inside story immediately thought: This is revenge!
……

West of the Bonaparte Empire, near the sea.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The roar of the ancient red dragon resounded throughout the heavens and earth, its immense dragon might overwhelming everything.

Luo Yi stood atop the ferocious dragon's head, an angelic halo above her head, divine power pouring down, and dragon flame battle aura exploding outwards, enveloping the entire red dragon.

From a distance, it looked like another giant sun, so intense that it could melt space itself.

Luo Yi's calm yet extremely authoritative voice rang out: "Quentin Perkins, the Green Dragon Knight, aren't you the man who supposedly carved through the Blood Abyss Plains? Why are you running away?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slashed out with his sword.

The divine sword extended its battle aura, and the blazing holy fire burned through the sea of ​​clouds. With a single swing, it transformed into a terrifying battle aura slash at least a thousand meters long.

Even more strangely, this battle qi slash distorted space, giving people a feeling that its trajectory was clear, yet unfathomable.

The Green Dragon Knight Quentin Perkins possessed incredibly keen senses. He swung his greatsword with all his might, unleashing a series of swirling sword strikes that pierced the air.

He didn't intend to fight to the death, but he could at least try to slow things down.
To his surprise, as his battle qi slash approached, its trajectory changed, and it passed right by the mighty battle qi slash without even touching it!

This directly distorted space, creating a protective and deflecting force?!
The use of the power of rules has actually reached such a sophisticated level?

This was Quentin Perkins's truest thought, the Green Dragon Knight. The next second, his Aura Slash was already upon him.

All he could do was roar along with the green dragon beneath him.

The battle aura mixed with dragon power exploded completely, and the huge dragon body suddenly spun in the air, using the hardest dragon scales on its back to block the attack.

boom!
The battle qi slash shattered instantly, like a broken mirror. In the void, spiderweb-like cracks spread out and were melted by the holy fire, taking a long time to recover.

Even hot dragon blood splattered in mid-air, accompanied by the green dragon's miserable howl, as it fell downwards.

Just as it was about to crash into the sea, it suddenly spread its dragon wings, swooped down, glided, skimmed the seawater, and flew back into the sky.

On its back, large patches of dragon scales were broken, flesh and blood were rolled up, and dragon blood was gushing out.

Quentin Perkins naturally didn't have any healing abilities, but he was carrying a large bottle of potions and sprinkling them on his wounds.

The green medicine combined with the flesh and blood, quickly stopping the bleeding. The wound was still there, but at least it stopped getting worse.

Then, he poured the potion into his mouth, and wounds appeared on his body, which continued to heal themselves under the effect of the potion.

When the 【Heart of the Dragon】 is cultivated to a high level, it has the function of 'damage substitution', which can avoid many instant-death attacks.

From this perspective, the combination of Quentin Perkins and the Green Dragon is superior to that of Roy and the ancient red dragon Virgil.

However, the gap in hard power left him with no choice but to accept it!
Before he could catch his breath, Luo Yi's second attack arrived, also a battle qi slash, but this time it scattered into dozens of pieces.

Then, the battle qi slash cuts through the air, folding space, appearing and disappearing, faster and more unpredictable in trajectory!

Just as it was about to land on the green dragon, a spell was thrown at it.

It was a dark, circular shield, like a vortex, standing in front of the green dragon, directly devouring all the fighting spirit.

Suddenly, the battle qi slash exploded, and the holy fire raged, melting the shield completely. Both perished together.

At the same time, an aged voice rang out: "Your Majesty Luo Yi, Your Majesty Luo Yi, please hold your hand!"

Luo Yi turned her head and saw a figure with a long magic robe walking towards her.

His movements seemed slow, but the void twisted, as if he were constantly flashing forward.

At first glance, it was still on the horizon; at second glance, it was much closer; at third glance, it was right in front of you.

Only then did Luo Yi see his face clearly: thin, old, with sparse, gray hair, and even eye discharge...

Clearly, this is a legendary tale of a slovenly person who doesn't care about hygiene.

However, the magic power around him was boiling like a great river. Although he could not compare to the King of the Demon Eye, he was still the second strongest magician that Luo Yi knew.

Looking at his blinking magic, it's clear he also has a very high level of mastery over spatial rules.

Most importantly, while he is the fastest legend, he is by no means the whole story!
From all directions, tornadoes formed of azure battle energy swept in; towering blue waves surged forth; and the deep darkness, with scattered starlight, drifted in...

In just a moment, at least four legends arrived, forming a semi-encirclement around Luo Yi.

Another mage, in particular, unleashed a series of spells, causing starlight to fall and fall upon the green dragon and Quentin Perkins.

This is a type of magic that Luo Yi has never seen before. It seems to involve the power of stars, with attributes that resemble both ice and fire, yet it has excellent healing and amplification effects.

With the treatment, the auras of Green Dragon and Quentin Perkins visibly recovered, and even grew stronger.

Luo Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, looking down at him, her voice booming like a great bell: "You're going to stop me?"

The sacred skill [Divine Sigh - Dragon's Might Unleashed] is activated!
His words were calm, yet they sounded like the arrival of a primordial, chaotic, and evil god, who suddenly opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings.

Even from the mere sight of them, these legends felt an immense sense of crisis approaching, waves of palpitations tormenting their souls, forcing them to retreat and assume a fighting stance.

They were all legends, their strength beyond question, but only when they faced Luo Yi directly did they truly experience the terror of this titled 'Holy Dragon Knight'.

After forming a pact with the red dragon, all the sacred skills have increased to varying degrees, with the most rapid increase being in the skill [Dragon's Might Unleashed].

Previously, Luo Yi's cultivation had relied on some shortcuts, but now that she has filled in the gaps in her foundation, she is making real leaps and bounds.

At this moment, even the ancient and legendary mage was speechless.

At this moment, Quentin Perkins had no choice but to step forward, and he tried to raise his voice: "Your Majesty, I do not deny that I destroyed Lion Castle, and your father died in front of me."

However, you should understand that I'm just following orders.

Luo Yi nodded: "I know, but so what?"

Since you've done it, and I have the power, of course I'll make you pay with your blood and give my father an explanation!

Quentin Perkins was furious: "You can't just come after me! You killed 'Blackfire' Farin, but what about St. Vermont?"

"You think you can't mess with the Church of the Sun? Do you think my Bonaparte Empire is easy to bully?"

Luo Yi smiled: "Don't worry, after I've dealt with you, I'll go find that one myself!"
As for the Church of the Sun God, I have already reached an agreement with them; this is a personal feud, and they will not get involved!

Upon hearing this, Quentin Perkins fell silent, his expression inexplicably ashen.

After hesitating for a long time, he could only say, "Do you really think one person can defeat five of us legends?"

These words, not to mention Luo Yi, even made the other legendary powerhouses turn to look at him, their eyes filled with horror and speechlessness.

They're here to lend their support, but are they really going to fight this guy to the death?
forget it!
All of them combined are no match for a demigod!
Luo Yi seemed amused by his words. He pointed around and said, "Why don't you ask them if they'll go all out if a fight really breaks out?"

Quentin Perkins glanced at the others and already understood.

It was at this moment that Luo Yi spoke up again: "I can give you a chance!"

"what?"

"We still have to give Napoleon III face, and I don't want Herka to lose a legendary fighter."
So, Quentin, I'm giving you a fair fight, and I'll only kill you once.

"After you die, regardless of whether you have the ability to resurrect, I will consider you to be completely dead!"

Quentin Perkins' eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is this true?"

“I always keep my word!” “Then… it still won’t work. You can’t use the Silver Angel’s artifact. With it there, we have no chance of winning.”

“I don’t need a divine artifact to deal with you.” Luo Yi raised her hand, and the divine artifact, the rapier, returned to its sheath and was stored in the Proverb Ring.

"Then come on!"

"Come!"

Finally, Quentin Perkins, the Demon Slayer, the Dragon God's Favorite, the man who supposedly carved through the Blood Abyss Plains, the fifth-tier legendary Green Dragon Knight, stopped thinking of hiding. Instead, he lowered his head and exchanged a glance with his mount.
Then, a deep and resonant dragon roar came, continuous and unending, its dragon might vast and boundless.

Quentin Perkins also took a deep breath, his emerald green battle aura first restrained to its limit, then suddenly exploded.

Amidst the crackling and popping sounds, it had already transformed into countless vines, clinging to the green dragon's entire body.

The feeling was like wearing a set of crystal-clear emerald armor, completely covering even the dragon's wings.

Then, the dragon's wings spread, flapped, and thumped...

Such a simple action produced a booming, explosive sound.

The fact that such a massive dragon body could produce a sonic boom demonstrates its ferocity.

In the eyes of this green dragon, there was nothing else but boundless fighting spirit and the enormous body of the ancient red dragon Virgil.

As for Quentin Perkins, he actually threw his own weapon, his greatsword, at Loy.
Then, he clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

With just that one breath, it was as if he had swallowed a huge amount of air, causing his muscles to swell and shatter his knight's armor, transforming him into a muscular giant.

Even his height has increased to three meters, and he can create an airburst with a single punch.

The man who claimed to have carved through the Blood Abyss Plains was naturally quite skilled. He possessed the blood of a golden dwarf and had also mastered the holy techniques of the giants.

This time, we're going all out!

Facing the challenger, Luo Yi remained completely calm. He raised his hand, grabbed the thrown knight's greatsword, and then threw it away.

Having done all this so casually, he stroked the ferocious dragon's head and spoke softly, "Brother Virgil, what should we say about your kin?"

"What kind of kinship is there among the five-colored dragons? So, of course we should crush him!"

"Leave it to me!"

The next second, he suddenly activated, his dragon body, even larger than the green dragon's, becoming even more agile and swift.

With a somersault and dive, it accelerated to its maximum speed and crashed into the green dragon.

Luo Yi stood with her feet planted firmly on her head, as if rooted to the ground. Suddenly, her heart pounded like a drum, and ripples spread outwards from her chest.

The next second, the only two dragon knights in the Old Continent collided.

The feeling was like a meteorite hitting the Earth!
Upon impact, even the sound was lost, leaving only shockwaves spreading outwards.

There were also four legends present. They originally thought they had retreated far enough, but now they were forced to keep retreating, and each of them had a serious expression.

Witnessing this battle made their trip worthwhile.

In their field of vision, they could only see two giant dragons constantly tumbling up and down.

Sometimes they spewed out their breath, sometimes they tore at each other, sometimes their wings flapped, and sometimes their tails swept across like battering rams...

The battle between these colossal beasts was truly brutal, with every punch landing squarely; each collision resulted in shattered scales and splattered blood.

Even the ancient red dragon Virgil, who held an absolute advantage, was not completely unscathed!

When facing their own kind, the most powerful dragon breath is the least effective; only the dragon race's fighting techniques can tear apart any enemy!

On the backs of the two giant dragons, two knights were locked in combat.

After putting away the divine rapier, Luo Yi never took out any other weapons, and instead, unusually, used his fists to fight his enemy.

Quentin Perkins transforms into a berserker fighter, unleashing his full range of hand-to-hand combat skills in a furious, storm-like attack.

His fists were so violent that they felt like they could shatter space itself.

Luo Yi, meanwhile, dodged and dodged again, seemingly assessing her opponent's strength, while carrying a series of phantoms.

Occasionally, when there is no way to avoid it, he will throw a punch, relying on his faster speed and sharper reflexes to deflect Quentin Perkins' punches and kicks from the side.

Every collision between them produced a crackling sound, fists and feet clashing, the air vibrating and ripples spreading.

However, this seemingly fierce battle was destined to be short-lived.

Until a certain moment, as if by telepathy, the massive red dragon suddenly rammed into the green dragon, overturning it and exposing its most vulnerable belly.

Then, its hind legs, like hooks, ignored the defense of the battle qi armor, pierced the chest, crushed the dragon heart, and then stomped down fiercely!
And so, the enormous dragon body plummeted from the sky, its final roar filled with sorrow!
At the same time, Roy suddenly appeared above Quentin Perkins' head.

He clenched one fist and held it behind his back, his muscles seemingly coming alive, the power flowing through his muscles and bones.

As a result, Roy's arm suddenly swelled up, as if it had become a giant's arm on its own.

This is a profound application of the sacred technique [Muscle Overlord], muscle liberation.

Then, he punched Quentin's fist.

At this moment, Quentin's eyes were filled with disbelief, because a tremendous force shattered his fist, broke through his defenses, and slammed into his chest!
With just one punch, he felt his heart explode and his life force drain away.

At that moment, from a distance, it appeared as if they were in sync: the Green Dragon and Quentin Perkins both transformed into meteors, crashing straight into the sea amidst the shockwaves of the explosion.

boom!
The impacts of the water overlapped, but there were two splashes, like missile explosions, directly creating two waves tens of meters high that spread outwards.

The legendary spectators had no choice but to retreat again, each of them looking rather disheveled.

They knew this battle was likely to end badly, but they never expected His Majesty Quentin to be defeated so quickly!

In fact, Loy's use of pure violence to suppress Quentin, who was known for his "immense strength," was truly beyond their expectations.

This was so different from what they had been told that they could hardly believe their eyes.

When they looked up, they saw Luo Yi standing on top of the red dragon's head again, as if she had done something insignificant.

However, he also looked down, staring intently at the sea.

The Starry Sky Mage hesitated for a moment and said, "Should we go up and protect them?"

Then, the other three legends turned their heads to look at him as if he were a madman.

That look seemed to say, "Are you sure we can protect them if we go up there?"
I won't get killed by him?

Finally, the elderly mage who was leading the group spoke: "Your Majesty Luo Yi, what kind of being is that?!"
Since he said he would only kill once, he would never go back on his word.

So, let's just watch! Let's just watch!

"Yes, yes, that's for sure!"

"Let's not do anything unnecessary to avoid causing misunderstandings."

The other two legends quickly echoed, their expressions unusually sincere, which made the Star Mage roll his eyes.

But when he saw the person in mid-air, he realized that what they said made a lot of sense.

The Lord of the Flower Territory, the King of Lions, who holds the title of Holy Dragon Knight, would certainly not break his word.

If he is, then he must be seeing things!
It was at this moment that, on the endless sea surface, a green magic visible to the naked eye flowed along the seabed.

A moment later, the magic suddenly receded, the water surface exploded, and a figure flew into the air.

He was three meters tall, with bulging muscles and a powerful physique, and his entire body was covered in dragon scales.

On his back, a pair of dragon wings spread out, his body was covered in green dragon fighting energy, and two strange dragon horns grew from his head.

Around him, a dragon soul swam, seemingly illusory yet pulsating with powerful magical energy.

This is the sacred skill [Dragon Soul Resurrection]!
Luo Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had realized something, while Shen Lan collected all kinds of information.

It was at this moment that Quentin Perkins looked up, staring directly at the man who had utterly defeated him, his eyes filled with resentment and rage.

But after a short while, they all dispersed.

With her keen senses, Luo Yi smiled and asked, "You still want to fight?"

"But this time, I won't hold back!"

Quentin Perkins lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, before you, I am as insignificant as an ant!"
I only hope that you can keep your previous promise, and that we can wipe the slate clean of past grievances!

Luo Yi nodded slowly: "As long as you don't provoke me again, let's put an end to our past grievances!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the roar of dragons could be heard. The ancient red dragon roared to the sky and then spread its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Only after they had gone far away did the five legends present relax.

The Star Legendary Mage suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty's departure direction doesn't seem to be the direction of Flower Territory?"

Quentin Perkins, his expression complex, said softly, "He's going to the Kingdom of Sardinia!"

"His Majesty Saint Vermont is in the Saint Vermont Cathedral in Bremen, in the Kingdom of Sardinia."

PS: Writing went much smoother today!
