Crossing the true dragon realm, and you call me Little Locke?

The sudden evolution of the fireworks caught not only the vampire leader off guard.

The owner of the fireworks in Shuoyang was also caught off guard.

He watched as Vulcan, after tearing apart the vampire leader, joined forces with the northern nobles to surround and kill the vampire warriors.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder they're one of the top three."

"Although it's still quite different from the game."

"But their growth rate and strength are simply phenomenal!"

"In comparison..."

Shuoyang touched the Poké Ball and compared Vulcan with his longest-time companion, Balloon Cat.

There's simply no comparison.

Although in the game, Balloon Cat's final evolution - Dream 33 - is much more popular than Vulcan.

But reality is not a game; there are no quantifiable values ​​to compromise for the sake of game balance.

Rare creatures like the Big-Headed Bone Dragon and Spark... are born only by chance after absorbing a large amount of ley line magic.

In terms of both strength and physique, it is much stronger than in the game.

Just like the Vulcan, who is now over three meters tall, his strength is far beyond what a small balloon cat could possibly achieve by trying to take advantage of him.

Even with the same stacking of enhancements, theoretically speaking...

Platinum Unicorn uses the Reflection skill more often, so it should be stronger than Vulcan's stacked skill.

But in reality, its healing effect has remained unchanged.

Other enhancements become weaker with use, and the magnitude of the enhancement decreases, making them incomparable to the ever-increasing firepower of the Vulcan.

"Is it because of the rule changes in this plane?"

Shuoyang watched as Vulcan grew increasingly excited with each fight, wondering what caused the discrepancy.

Meanwhile, Lena, standing beside him, was being suppressed by Violet and the platinum unicorn after the three vampire spellcasters were taken down.

She finally managed to unleash the seventh ring of holy light.

She unleashed a blinding beam of light.

The vampire leader, who had been cleaved into three pieces but was still alive and able to escape back to his dormant place via shadow teleportation, was completely incinerated and reduced to ashes.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, watching Vulcan slaughter everyone in sight.

Xiang Shuoyang asked for confirmation, "Are you sure this guy doesn't have the blood of the Balrog Demon?"

"..." Shuoyang glanced at her but did not answer.

He finally confirmed it.

The source of his inexplicable unease was none other than Lena, his childhood friend who had been a ruthless jerk to the death.

Therefore, Shuoyang secretly became more vigilant, guarding against Lena's every move.

Meanwhile, he watched Vulcan chasing after those vampires.

He secretly wondered whether he should prepare a Dragon Fury Greatsword for the God of Fire, imbued with lightning breath.

Let it cosplay as Balor the Fire Demon.

After all, these high-ranking Tanaris from the bottomless abyss had a notorious reputation, so the God of Fire disguised himself as a Balrog as his bodyguard.

It can scare away many enemies and save a lot of trouble.

Just like the vampires right now, after their leader was killed by Vulcan and Rena.

They completely lost their will to fight.

Facing the ever-increasing heat of the flames, the fire god could ignite their flesh and blood with just a close approach.

The vampires lost their will to fight and transformed into mist and bats, scattering in all directions.

However, when facing Vulcan, who has mastered the Dark Assault skill and can teleport using his shadow.

Their actions, however, gave them the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

The Vulcan's figure flickered, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, even more ghostly than the vampire himself.

In no time, he burned all the escaped vampire warriors to ashes with a single blow of fire.

Meanwhile, with the magical assistance of Galle and Rosalie.

Violet and the Platinum Unicorn also killed three vampire spellcasters, giving them no chance to escape in the mist.

Then Lena took stock and realized that she was lucky this time.

Only a few nobles who charged particularly hard were injured; the rest were unharmed.

The only bad thing was that her house was practically ransacked, almost completely destroyed.

Lena pursed her lips in response.

Although she was somewhat unhappy about it, she was mostly relieved.

It can only be said that the vampire's assassination attempt was fortunately foiled by the Shuoyang siblings in time.

Otherwise, if they were caught off guard, she, Galle, and Rosalie, these high-level spellcasters, would have been caught off guard if these vampire warriors had gotten close to them.

Then everyone in this hall, except for the Shuoyang siblings who are dragons, will be killed or injured.

Thinking of this, Lena frowned slightly.

She gave a cold look to Edgar, the young knight who had just come out of the room with the other ordinary nobles who were fleeing the disaster.

He calmly asked, "Sir Edgar, could you explain this?"

"How was your defense arranged? Why didn't the guards give them any warning before they came in? What happened to the hidden sentries you arranged?"

"And why did you abandon your post?"

"I..." Edgar's face flushed red, and he was speechless.

With his hopes of possessing his lord dashed, he had no interest in defense at all.

He even deliberately let it go, hoping that the engagement banquet would be unexpectedly ruined, and that Shuoyang would suffer a bit more.

To his surprise, it wasn't Lena's suitors who ruined the engagement party.

Instead, he was a vampire who was preparing to kill everyone.

What he didn't expect was that Shuoyang also had Violet, a bronze dragon sister, and six powerful elves.

An elite vampire who can wipe out an entire team of professional adventurers by himself.

Ten of them came, but they couldn't kill a single one of them.

This made him stand out even more, as he immediately hid with the crowd when things looked bad.

So he stammered for a long time, sweating profusely.

In the end, the only explanation he could come up with was the absurd claim that there was a spy inside the castle and that he was chasing the spy but failed to catch him.

"spy……?"

Lena laughed in anger, staring coldly at Edgar.

He asked softly, "Who is the spy?"

"Are you trying to frame my fiancé? Or are you just framing an innocent servant?"

Edgar, whose thoughts had been exposed, was speechless.

He pondered deeply but could not come up with a good solution.

He could only glare resentfully at the indifferent Shuoyang, and then unfasten the longsword that Lena had given him from his waist.

Then he knelt on one knee and reluctantly presented the sword to Lena.

He began to plead, "I'm sorry, Ms. Senora."

"This is indeed my dereliction of duty."

"It was because I was too focused on the spy who had infiltrated the castle that I neglected to take precautions, which led to your and the other officials being in danger."

"I cannot shirk this responsibility, I only beg you to consider my father's sake."

"Please allow me to atone for my mistake by performing good deeds."

Although he spoke with sincerity, he was essentially still unwilling to admit his mistake.

So Lena looked down at him, her rose-colored eyes filled with disappointment.

She went to retrieve the longsword that represented Edgar's knighthood.

But Edgar sensed her intention and instinctively gripped the scabbard.

So Lena couldn't lift the sword on her first try.

So she said coldly, "You still have the nerve to mention your father?"

"Although Logan was rude and vulgar, he never made excuses for his mistakes."

"He would never betray anyone who trusts him because of personal feelings."

"If it weren't for him, I beg you to give me a chance to prove yourself."

"You really think so? Based on your failed paladin trial experience, I would make you the city guard commander of White Poplar Harbor?"

"Get out!"

While Edgar was distracted, Lena finally sheathed her sword.

She looked down coldly at the trembling Edgar and said in a low voice, "I won't kill you for Logan's sake."

"Go back to the capital and learn from your father how to behave properly!"

He was shocked to see that she had actually taken away his title and was even going to expel him.

Edgar looked on in disbelief.

To be fair, given what he did, the punishment wasn't severe; in fact, it was rather lenient.

But Edgar thought differently.

He absolutely could not accept being driven out by his lord in front of so many nobles.

After all, for a knight like him who cannot inherit a family title, reputation is the most important thing.

After tonight's events get out, his reputation as someone who is incompetent, more likely to cause trouble than to succeed, and disloyal to his lord will be sealed.

No lord would recruit him again, and he would never have another chance to become a nobleman.

Therefore, Edgar absolutely could not accept this punishment.

His eyes were bloodshot as he suddenly looked up and reached out, trying to snatch the sword back.

But Lena had anticipated his reaction; she simply teleported and hid behind Shuoyang.

Edgar grabbed at empty air and immediately lost his balance.

He slammed his face into the floor with a thud.

This comical scene caused the surrounding onlookers to burst into laughter.

Shuoyang added in his mind, "Oh ho!"

"This is a disastrous dice roll!"
