Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from the Elden Ring

"Don't you understand? For those of us at the top... we have no true companions." Jormungandr's lips curled into a smile. "If you want to stop this disaster, I can join forces with you to stop Odin first, and then we can settle our scores."

Lu Mingfei stared at the shapely Jormungandr and the ancient dragon beside him with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

A moment later, he snapped his fingers.

Jormungandr's expression changed. As the ruler of Nibelungen, she immediately sensed the awakening of something.

That chilling aura and murderous intent... was "Storm." At the same time, on the platform where Gao Mi and the others were sheltering, countless shrieking and howling Kamaitachi were fleeing frantically. Everyone huddled in a corner with their heads in their hands, and no one noticed the changes in the alchemical matrix.

The four elements ceased their transformation, and the black rainwater in the concrete trough bubbled and eventually evaporated completely.

The branch inserted in the center of the matrix suddenly lit up, so brightly it almost seemed to burn. It no longer magnified a miniature Nibelungen region, but a vast and terrifying alchemy, and thus began to operate at full power.

This tree branch is the real form of the cane from the auction. It doesn't emit any alchemical field, but rather something that can expand and extend the alchemical field.

After buying it, Lu Mingfei experimented with it repeatedly and determined that it could amplify Odin's alchemy of "creating life from rain".

Although this alchemy requires a large amount of "dead water," even if a hybrid mastered this technology, at most they could only use precious alchemical materials to create some "living" figurines.

But Lu Mingfei is currently in Nibelungen, the land of the king of earth and mountains, where alchemical materials are everywhere!

The exits of Nibelungen are opening, and thousands of kamaru are surging madly into the world of the living, while a massive alchemical matrix is ​​awakening along their escape route.

Thick moisture filled every section of the tunnel, and heavy rain poured down.

Countless dark figures rose from the alchemical waters. They were clad in heavy armor, their helmets adorned with semi-circular golden tree crowns, and the emblem of the Golden Tree faith painted on the left breast of their armor… Knights of Rodel!

The knights who guard the royal city of Rodel are all nearly three meters tall, covered in heavy golden armor, and wield large shields and weapons made of gold.

"Kill all the Kamaitachi."

Lu Mingfei's command rang in the ears of every knight.

A unified, angry shout rang out throughout the tunnel: "Serving the king wholeheartedly is our duty!"

Jormungandr couldn't understand that language, but he could still sense the pride and power it contained.

"As expected of the Authority of Bronze and Fire, you've grown remarkably fast," Jormungandr murmured.

Fenrir roared.

A larger and more powerful field than Jormungandr was unleashed, and the fragments of the subway tracks accelerated within the field, emitting a terrifying whooshing sound.

Lu Mingfei slowly raised his sword and slashed at the open space to the side. In the darkness, Jormungandr, who had blocked the hound's fangs with her giant scythe, retreated. At the same time, Jormungandr, who was speaking in the distance, shattered like glass. It was some kind of non-metallic crystal, almost indistinguishable from her real self.

Immediately afterward, Lu Mingfei reached out and slowly made a grasping motion towards Fenrir. The entire space trembled, and the Word of Power domain called "Heaven and Earth as Furnace" suddenly froze. Countless fragments of steel floated in place, as if time had stopped. The next second, all the metal melted. The scene was spectacular, with countless fireballs of all sizes scattered like stars, each flame giving birth to a sword, its blazing tip pointing directly at Fenrir.

Forced to retreat, Jormungandr launched another attack, this time targeting Caesar and Chu Zihang. The alchemy he had just performed summoned five Rhodel Knights to guard them. These burly, heavily armored warriors stood close together, shields on the ground, golden halberds thrusting outwards—a typical defensive formation.

However, Jormungandr struck the platform, and the military platform shattered instantly. The bottomless cracks extended for hundreds of meters, and rocks rose up and turned into powder in the air! A structure like an "earth dragon" appeared, the ground rotated and turned over, and rubble scattered everywhere, like twisted snake bones.

This is the power of the King of Earth and Mountains. Jormungandr can find the "eye" of everything, strike its weakest point, pour in his power, and destroy it instantly. This is innate power.

The Knights of Rodel swayed, their impenetrable defenses showing a crack. Suddenly, the shattered concrete was reformed by some force, and a gigantic rock hand rose from the ground, grasping Caesar and Chu Zihang.

Lu Mingfei unleashed a barrage of fiery swords at Fenrir, his figure creating a gust of wind as he vanished from his spot, followed by a deafening explosion like a rocket launching into the sky. The Hand of Rock shattered under the relentless barrage of the hound's fangs, and Caesar fell from within. It wasn't the Hand of Rock, but a rock serpent; Chu Zihang had already been swallowed and transported away through a hollow cavity resembling an esophagus.

The Rhodes Knights remained silent. Three of them re-established a defense around Caesar, while the remaining two slung their large shields over their backs and charged toward Jormungandr, gripping their golden halberds with both hands.

Jormungandr did not use the giant scythe. He dodged the halberd tip and punched the knight in the chest, producing a terrifying metallic twisting and tearing sound. Cracks spread all over the knight's body.

Another knight halted, and with fluid movements, charged up his aim before hurling his halberd. The massive halberd sliced ​​through the air, slicing through the body of the first knight, now shattered into alchemical fluid, and aimed at Jormungandr. Jormungandr swung his giant scythe, but failed to block the halberd. The weapon before him was not made of alchemical fluid; it had been replaced at some point with a true alchemical masterpiece.

Chapter 135 Gets Lively

The giant scythe shattered inch by inch. Because the halberd was imbued with more than one kind of incantation, the metal struck by it was as fragile as tofu, and some kind of magnetic field around the halberd accelerated it. Jormungandr abandoned the giant scythe and grabbed the halberd with her hands. Her hands were not only covered with scales and bone spikes, but also had a layer of rock-like shell. Sparks flew when she gripped the alchemical weapon.

Her reaction speed was astonishing. From abandoning the giant scythe to grasping the tip of the halberd, it was almost equivalent to a human catching an arrow with his bare hands, with a reaction time of only a fraction of a second.

But her blood seemed to freeze. Lu Mingfei pressed close to her, looking into her eyes, his bright golden eyes filled with only that damned calm.

Lu Mingfei unleashed a perfect strike, like a martial arts master in deep meditation slashing at a practice target, his blade evenly coating Jormungandr's wide-open body.

Amidst the flashing blades, a royal flame erupted.

Jormungandr hastily retreated, using some kind of technique to make her body seem like a feather in the wind, using the explosion of the Lord's Flame to push her away. However, she was inevitably forced to retreat by the dense sword light of cursed blood slashes shot out from the flames, leaving her covered in soot.

The first wave of attacks ended, and Jormungandr was severely injured, with lacerations extending from his shoulder to his thigh, nearly splitting his body in two. Fenrir, on the other hand, was covered in wounds; the alchemical fire swords could pierce his dragon scales, and he stood in the center of the sword array like a bear being attacked by a swarm of bees.

……

An unprecedented blizzard swept through Beijing, prompting the weather station to issue the highest-level blizzard warning immediately. Warning signs appeared on every television channel, and warning text messages were sent to every local resident's mobile phone. Meanwhile, the entire city began operating according to its emergency response plan for blizzard and freezing weather disasters.

Xidan Wedding Building.

A well-trained construction team was sealing and welding every exit around the building with high-strength steel plates, including windows, air conditioning vents, and water pipes. Amidst the raging blizzard, the streets were nearly deserted. Occasionally, citizens out buying supplies would see this from afar and assume it was part of a protective measure against the blizzard.

A figure pierced through the wind, snow, and crowd, entering through the only door open for staff.

"Sir, this place is temporarily closed for renovations. Please leave." The man in the black security uniform spoke politely, but with one hand on his lower back, he slowly approached the customer.

"I'm here to help," the guest said.

Just then, the entire building began to shake violently, and almost everyone present could not stand.

The security guard ignored the strange-looking young customer and nervously rushed towards the roller shutter door, while construction workers outside hurriedly welded steel plates onto it. Over the walkie-talkie, someone gave them an absolute order: "Seal off all entrances and exits now."

……

The Knights of Rodel were driven by the power of alchemy, using bodies and weapons formed from alchemical water to fight the Kamaitachi. Soon, the knights began to be surrounded and fell by the counterattacking Kamaitachi. The Kamaitachi clung to them densely, leaving no gaps, and when they left, the knights' bodies were riddled with holes.

A Rodel knight knelt on one knee, facing dozens of Sickle Weasel Queens. After several rounds of attacks, he could no longer hold the exit.

The Kamaitachi are wind spirits; they can sense winds and scents that do not belong to Nibelungen, which is why large groups of Kamaitachi gather here.

“I bestow upon you boundless grace, and summon the wrath of thunder, and ignite the flames of fire, not for personal desire, but for the banner of the king.”

A voice descended from the sky, seemingly the king's voice.

A fierce red light shone in the eyes of Knight Rodel. He stood up abruptly, and golden dragon lightning erupted from him, incinerating the group of Kamaitachi. He took a step forward, raised his greatsword over his shoulder, and lightning crackled on it. He hurled the nearly two-meter-long weapon.

A golden beam of light pierced the darkness, and dense golden arcs of electricity flashed all around, turning all the Kamaitachi in its path into ashes.

The Kamaitachi Queen, who was almost seeing daylight, turned around in terror and summoned her Kamaitachi herd to try to stop the terrifying attack, but all to no avail.

The greatsword pierced through the bodies of several Kamaitachi Queens, carrying their bodies through the long tunnel and pinning them to the concrete wall at the end. During this time, lightning violently tore through the bodies of the Kamaitachi Queens, and the resulting thunderclouds roared past, causing the Kamaitachi herd to fall to the ground one after another.

The light in Knight Rodel's eyes dimmed, and his body turned into black water droplets, falling to the ground and disappearing.

"I really envy my brother for having such subordinates..."

Someone whispered.

……

Su Enxi and Jiu Demai are watching the live broadcast through the monitoring system.

“Jormungandr has been obsessed with Chu Zihang…” Su Enxi frowned. “Being too obsessed means Chu Zihang must have some secret, and it’s very likely a secret that can determine the outcome of the battle.”

"She didn't use her full strength at first; she was just guiding Chu Zihang to the center so that he would be eaten by Fenrir..." Jiu De Mai, who was responsible for combat, explained to Su Enxi, a civilian employee, "She didn't hesitate to expose her weaknesses during the surprise attack in order to recapture Chu Zihang; she traded injury for life."

"Why doesn't Lu Mingfei take advantage of her injuries to attack?" Su Enxi was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even notice someone standing behind her. "Hurry up and get Chu Zihang back! Who knows what this Dragon King is up to? Is he going to summon Odin?"

"Don't rush..." someone whispered. "He walks among humans, but his heart is in hell. Such a person is incapable of sadness or fear. To him, the beauty of the world is like fleeting light, like flowers along his path... In a sense, he is also the luckiest person, because he considers everything he encounters as his good fortune. So don't be fooled by his appearance; he is the most cruel yet the most gentle freak. No matter what, you must always trust his composure."

Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai turned around, and the boss was filling his glass of champagne.

"Girls, it's been a long time." The boss turned around. "You're still as beautiful as ever."

"Boss, are you alright?" Su Enxi looked him over. He was wearing a brand new, fitted suit, spotless, with no suspicious bloodstains.

"What could have happened to me? I just got back and saw that repulsive guy with some dirty blood on him." The boss was in a good mood. "Is my surveillance system working properly?"

“It’s very clear… what do we need to do?” Mai asked.

"It's a small matter. My deliveryman is lost. You can take him to the battlefield." The boss took a sip of champagne and put the glass on the table. "It's more interesting when things get lively."

“How could we…” Su Enxi was stunned.

The boss was nowhere to be seen. He had come and gone in a hurry, just like always, which was completely unlike his usual style.

Chapter 136 Word Power Conversion

Lu Mingfei waved his hand, and the metal slag scattered on the ground floated up, heated and melted in the electric light. The extracted liquid recycled metal was reshaped into a set of heavy armor and a brand-new golden halberd.

Flames erupted from the armor and weapons bestowed upon the Knight of Rodel, and the precious alchemical water began to be consumed rapidly.

He roared, raised his shield and charged forward, his whole body enveloped in lightning. Thick arcs of electricity pierced the air, emitting dense flashes of light and explosions.

Behind him, Lu Mingfei spread his enormous dragon wings and slowly floated into the air, holding a "Flame of the Evil God" in each of his hands, and small elemental storms were forming at an astonishing speed.

Fenrir stared intently at Lu Mingfei, his dragon eyes revealing a look of surprise and uncertainty, and he subconsciously glanced at his sister.

Jormungandr, facing Lu Mingfei's imposing presence, which resembled the descent of a demon, seemed neither alarmed nor surprised. That unfamiliar incantation was far more terrifying than the "Heaven and Earth Furnace" technique; if she hadn't witnessed the "Candle Dragon," she probably would have thought Lu Mingfei was unleashing something of catastrophic magnitude.

Her injuries had not yet healed; the wounds penetrated deep into her torso, with approximately a hundred bones broken. Her dark blue heart could be faintly seen beating through the wounds.

Even more terrifying is that fire elements are burning inside the wound like maggots clinging to the bone, and the place where the blade directly touched it is still glowing with intense heat.

But she felt her chances of winning had increased by at least 20%.

She slammed into the enhanced knight, the ground bursting open where she used the force, the hard rock cracking inch by inch, undulating like water.

The knight's charge disintegrated in a gust of black "wind," his body shattered into pieces, and he fell forward due to inertia.

Jormungandr threw a punch the instant they collided. She was the Queen of the Earth, and there were very few beings in the world who could stand up to her head-on.

She swept past the knights and charged toward Caesar.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei launched an attack on Fenrir from the air. He had already discovered that only half of Fenrir's body was above ground, making him a target within the fiery sword formation.

Its other half of its body is in a bizarre petrified state, like a rotten skeleton buried for many years. The ancient dragon's vitality keeps it alive, but its mobility and intelligence may have been affected.

Lu Mingfei threw the miniaturized "Evil God Flame" out, while he hid in the trajectory of the two fire meteors, his body merging into the darkness. In an instant, Fenrir lost all sense of his heartbeat and body temperature.

It frantically tried to condense dragon flames, but the scorching fire elements would dissipate on their own as soon as they gathered. In the end, it did something extremely comical: it hugged its head with both hands and curled up its upper body.

This was tantamount to burying one's head in the sand; trapped here, it had no room to hide. The "Evil God's Flame" erupted close to its body, sending large pieces of scales and flesh flying, which were then quickly charred and burned.

Jormungandr shattered a knight with a single punch, and none of the three knights retreated. As the last knight fell, Caesar, his eyes wide open, was revealed, and the aftershocks of the evil god's flames reached him.

An extremely intense white light shone from Jormungandr's body, instantly turning most of her form into dust. The white light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and Caesar, who witnessed the entire process, was blinded.

In a corner of the cave, a white light also shone, and Jormungandr, hidden in the shadows, was repelled; the intense heat destroyed large areas of her scales and skin.
