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

Like the dragons that had to flee back to the plane of Cassialo to escape the Dragon Madness Lock.

The ancient witch kings of the Great Sand Sea were also fugitives from other planes.

Because of unrestrained magical research and endless magical wars, the unclaimed magical network of their plane was destroyed by distorted old magic.

In order to continue using magic and achieve final victory in the war, mortals...

They developed a corrupting magic that draws upon the life force of the earth to utilize the wild magic within the ley lines.

However, the price of using this magic is that the earth is completely depleted and lifeless, turning everything it touches into a barren desert.

Therefore, as the scale of wars among the nations expanded, the endless yellow sands inevitably swallowed everything.

Until the end of the world, the magic of the ley lines completely spiraled out of control.

Some of the Witch Kings, along with their followers, arrived in the plane of Cassialo via interdimensional teleportation.

These witch kings represent the pinnacle of blasphemous magic.

They performed a dragon-transformation magic that extracted the immortal essence of the sun by sacrificing vast amounts of land and countless lives.

In this way, he gained infinite magic power, immortal life, and a dragon form comparable to the incarnation of an ancient dragon.

After being forced to flee their world, these witch kings finally learned some lessons.

They put aside their differences and joined hands to establish the ancient Qama Khan Empire.

But in order to conquer other races and expand their territory, they had to contend with dragons, giants, and the elven empire of the endless sea of ​​trees.

They did not completely ban blasphemous magic, but only implemented loose planning and control.

In their continuous expansion and conquest, the land and mountains were destroyed by the army of the Qamar Khan Empire, creating the vast and boundless sea of ​​sand that exists today.

This provoked the wrath of the Earth Mother Goddess, Shantia.

This goddess was always gentle and tolerant of the many outrageous behaviors of all races and all life forms.

But the Qamar Khan Empire went too far.

So she unusually unleashed divine punishment, cursing and petrifying all the witch kings, sentencing them to remain silent for thousands of years.

She also completely banned the magic of corruption, erasing it directly from the memories of all mortals.

She also recruited a group of golden dragon druids who worshipped her in Cassialo, forming the Druid Society of the Breath of Resurrection.

Specializes in repairing damage caused by blasphemous magic and searching for and destroying any remaining texts associated with this magic.

Under her combined attack, the Kamal Khan Empire, which already had many internal rifts, collapsed almost overnight.

The petrified witch kings were either abandoned by their subordinates or directly destroyed by their enemies.

Either to escape their enemies, they were buried directly in a very secret underground tomb by their followers.

Now, the period of judgment by the Earth Goddess has come to an end.

The divine punishment curses on the surviving witch kings dissipated, and the petrification seals on their bodies could finally be broken and released by mortal magic.

But thousands of years later, the descendants of their followers have long forgotten them.

The surviving witch kings can only wait in their underground tombs for adventurers who blindly seek treasure, and for those small but lucky coincidences.

Unfortunately, because they had been sealed away for too long, these were mostly surviving witch kings who were originally tyrants.

After undergoing a long period of petrification, it became even more brutal.

Therefore, those adventurers who discovered the tomb of the Witch King and accidentally broke their seals usually met with bad ends.

Therefore, after Ilya dragged Shuoyang into the tomb, closed the door, and began the "battle,"

Marina and Melanthers quickly stopped the elves, including Yangyan, who wanted to break down the door to rescue their master, and a stalemate ensued.

They were afraid that they would spoil the witch king's mood and incur her wrath.

This standoff lasted for several days and nights.

Because the Eye Demon's spell was too abstract and its effects too powerful. And Irika was struck when she was at her weakest, having just been unsealed.

So her struggle with Shuoyang lasted for several days.

Ultimately, it was because of her dragon form that her stamina couldn't keep up with Shuoyang, the true dragon.

She was forced to transform back into human form, but Shuoyang, who had also transformed into human form, pressed his advantage and attacked her for another day and night, relying on the dragon's endurance.

That's when she couldn't hold on any longer. Exhaustion overcame her impulse, and she regained her senses.

Then, she took a deep look at Shuoyang.

In a humiliating manner, he used teleportation magic to flee the place in a panic.

Marina and Melances, who were outside the tomb, had heard everything about her and Shuoyang's fierce battle over the past few days, from dragon to human.

Upon hearing that Ilya had left, they immediately broke down the door and rushed into the tomb.

At this moment, Shuoyang had already transformed back into a dragon.

He lay wounded and sprawled among Irika's burial treasures, too weak to even lift his eyes.

After several days of fierce fighting, the tomb was in complete disarray.

Everywhere were scattered the crimson dragon blood of Shuoyang, the amber-gold blood of Ilya, as well as their broken scales, claw marks, scorched dragon breath, and dragon saliva...

"Really...!"

Melanthers looked at these marks and couldn't help but sigh.

But then I found myself unable to come up with any good words.

So she could only come to Shuoyang's side and perform magic to heal him.

He assured him, "Don't worry, brother!"

"I will surely compose a magnificent epic ballad to spread your story of fighting the Witch Queen and defeating her throughout the whole of Casciano."

"Holy shit...!?"

Upon hearing this, Shuoyang nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Is this something I can just tell anyone?

He actually only needed one day to completely eliminate the effects of the spell and regain his sanity.

He could only desperately satisfy the maddened witch king in order to avoid being killed by him.

After all, the Witch King is different from ordinary legendary powerhouses.

He is an immortal demigod who has completed the epic trial and embarked on the path of mythology.

If they were to actually fight head-on, there was only a very small chance that the three-headed dragon and its few elves would perish together with their opponent.

Therefore, in order to survive, Shuoyang did his best to accompany him.

Fortunately, although his transformation resulted in the same strength, agility, and physique as the target of his transformation, his endurance and stamina remained as enduring as a dragon's.

This allowed him to exhaust his opponent's strength in this way, thus achieving this unsatisfactory victory.

Therefore, upon hearing that Melanthers was going to spread the word for him, Shuoyang immediately became anxious.

After all, in terms of communication, the mouth of the Copper Dragon is comparable to that of the big mouths of the Dragon King.

So, ignoring his aching back and weak legs, he suddenly stood up and grabbed Melanthers's shoulders.

He pleaded, then threatened, "No, just pretend this never happened."

"Did you remember?"

Why?

Melanthers was puzzled, because in the concept of the copper dragon...

Using "clever" methods to "defeat" a far superior enemy is definitely something to boast about.

Shuoyang was almost powerless to do anything about it.

He replied firmly, "No reason!"

"Just remember, nothing ever happened."

After saying that, he turned to look at Marina, who was acting suspiciously and whose eyes were scanning the treasure back and forth.

He roared at her, "Purple Dragon, put away your claws!"

"This is all my hard-earned money!"
