Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 341 Blood of Heroes
The battle became chaotic instantly after Lu Mingfei joined the fray.

Instead of joining forces with the shadowy figure as Alberto had expected, he brandished his twin swords, unleashing chilling arcs of light, and charged straight at Alberto, who was enveloped in electric shocks!
Lu Mingfei gripped the sword hilt tightly, his arm muscles taut. Every move he made was imbued with unparalleled power. Wherever the sword tip pointed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

The sword strike was heavy and sharp, unrestrained and fierce, forcing Alberto to be distracted in his attack.

"you!"

Alberto was both shocked and furious. Electric snakes danced all over his body as he barely managed to parry a powerful slash. The lightning collided with the sword's edge, creating dazzling sparks.

"Shouldn't we team up and take down that guy first?!"

He pointed at the composed black figure in the center of the domain, his voice sharpened by anger and the depletion of his power.

Lu Mingfei's offensive continued relentlessly, his sword flashing like an eagle battling the storm, yet he spoke in a muffled, infuriating tone:
"I'm sorry, but I don't really like Italians."

He dodged a streak of electricity by sidestepping it, and swung his sword backhand towards Alberto's ribs:

"Besides, I don't want to team up with guys I don't know, it would mess up the monsters' aggro."

"In that case, I think it would be simpler to kill you first."

Alberto was practically spitting blood!

He was enveloped in high-voltage lightning, struggling to maintain "Indra's Wrath" against the terrifying death domain of the shadowy figure, while also dealing with Lu Mingfei's cunning, ruthless, and completely unreasonable swordsmanship. He felt extremely frustrated.

Strength was being rapidly depleted, and the mind was under immense pressure.

Finally, after Lu Mingfei delivered a horizontal slash that nearly disemboweled him, Alberto's sanity snapped.

"You forced me to do this!"

He let out a beastly growl, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes. He suddenly pulled a vial of medicine from his pocket, which emitted a soft yet striking golden light. Without hesitation, he pulled out the stopper and gulped it down!
The golden potion flowed down Alberto's throat, its burning power stinging his senses and igniting his blood.

A voice originating from antiquity rang in his ears, a whispered and indistinct sound. Before his eyes, it seemed as if countless wild dragons were dancing, and the towering trees that stood between heaven and earth appeared.

His body underwent a further dramatic change, with countless scales emerging from his skin and covering his body. These scales were very similar to those on Lu Mingfei's body, only lacking some texture and being a dark blue color.

The joints made crackling and twisting sounds, and varying degrees of abnormality caused bone spurs to break through to the surface of the body.

His back arched, his muscles bulged, his fingers became sharp, his nails fell off and transformed into bizarre and ferocious claws, and a chaotic dragon aura burst forth from his body, temporarily dispelling some of the oppressive atmosphere of the death domain.

"Ho...ho..."

Alberto let out painful gasps; the transformation was incredibly agonizing, yet a look of pleasure shone in his golden eyes.
"This is the path to godhood...this is...perfect evolution!"

The shadowy figure unusually refrained from attacking, and the ever-expanding death zone even paused for a moment.

He stood silently in place, his gaze coldly fixed on Alberto's twisted and painful transformation into a dragon, as if watching a farcical spectacle that desecrated life, or as if looking at a corpse destined to decay, devoid of any emotion.

From beneath the knight's helmet came a muffled voice, clearly filled with doubt:

“Blood of Valhalla?” His tone was uncertain, as if he had seen something familiar.

Alberto, caught in the intense pain of transformation and the exhilarating feeling of surging power, laughed hoarsely upon hearing this, his voice as unpleasant as two sheets of sandpaper rubbing together:

"It seems... you've also heard of the legend of 'Blood of Heroes'... Heh... But this isn't like 'Blood of Valhalla,' a defective product full of side effects and draining one's life force..."

He felt the surging power within him, as if it were about to burst him apart, and was immersed in the enjoyment of "perfect evolution," his words filled with boasting and madness.

However, his words came to an abrupt end.

As if doused with a bucket of ice water, the crazed golden pupils suddenly contracted, staring intently at the knight's face covered by a mask.

"No...that's not right!!!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and horror:
"The highest quality 'Blood of Valhalla' is completely different from those defective products... Its existence and specific characteristics are top secret! You... how could you recognize it?!"

That thing should only be…

A terrible, unbelievable suspicion crept into his mind.

Some deliberately blocked pieces of intelligence began to piece together. Alberto stared intently at Lu Mingfei, a terrifying light flashing in his eyes.

"It's you! It's you! So it was you!! I understand!"

Alberto's voice was distorted with extreme anger and fear, and his golden, dragon-like pupils seemed to spit fire.

All the doubts came together at that moment.

The newfound power surged and roared within him, temporarily overpowering the pain brought on by the dragon transformation.

The humiliation of being mocked, the anger in desperation, and the shock in his heart mixed together into the most intense killing intent.

"die!!!"

He let out a roar, and his right arm, covered in dark blue scales and transformed into sharp claws, suddenly rose up!
The crackling, intense white lightning was highly concentrated, coiling around his ferocious claws like a living thunder serpent, compressing and condensing, emitting a chilling buzzing sound!

The high-voltage lightning he released highly ionized the surrounding space, with electric arcs constantly leaping within the domain.

Alberto leaped high into the air, his deep dragonification giving his legs a unique reverse-bend joint, granting him jumping ability beyond human limits.

His claws, gleaming with dazzling light, fell from the sky. At that moment, Alberto truly resembled the sun transformed into thunder, rising into the sky and stealing the light from the sun god, just as described in the ancient secret society texts.

Lu Mingfei could feel that the dragon blood boiling within him was eroding his human side, and the fluctuations it emitted were already infinitely close to those of the next generation of the species, and might even have surpassed them.

The only sub-species he had ever seen was the giant snake that died in Cologne, and that creature clearly couldn't be considered an ordinary sub-species.

Lu Mingfei sighed softly, a sigh tinged with regret, yet utterly devoid of warmth:
"What a pity. I was hoping to keep you alive a little longer and extract more information... but you ended up discovering something you shouldn't have..."
