Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Remember to come home early.

Ye Qingxian wasn't worried about Esther's safety at all, while Esther leaned over to pat her head before turning and disappearing into the snowy night.

She prepared to go to the Fania Royal Palace. On the way, she gradually activated the long-dormant magic in her body, adjusting her physical condition to its best state.

Although the chances of the opponent being a level 400 powerhouse are extremely small, Esther is never careless.

Hopefully, this enemy won't disappoint her; it's time for the dragon blood within her to boil over.

At the same time, Esther felt a little sentimental. The Kingdom of Fania was also her old neighbor. Since the establishment of the Netherworld Dragon Abyss, countless generations of Fania kings and princesses had become "friends" with Esther, or rather, "friends in money."

The Kingdom of Fania has a unique characteristic: legend has it that the wise and virtuous former king transformed into a heroic spirit to protect the country after his death. As a result, the royal power has been very stable since the country's founding, and there has been no internal strife for thousands of years.

I never expected something like this to happen to this generation of King Fania. It seems that the protection given by that so-called wise king has also failed.

……

...

"Hahaha, this country is mine now!"

The young red-haired girl placed one foot on the throne and burst into laughter in the hall.

Her eyes gleamed with a red light, making her look incredibly eerie. She was naked, and her body was covered with crystals that emitted a dim glow, obscuring any exposed parts of her body.

On the floor not far away, the king and queen and royal guards lay sprawled on the ground, their bodies riddled with wounds and oozing red blood.

They appear to be dead, but they are not actually dead. Their consciousness still exists, but they cannot control their bodies, and they cannot even open their eyes. They can only be slowly absorbed as nourishment.

The red-haired girl stroked her stomach, seemingly digesting the absorbed energy.

"The humans of your world are far too weak."

When the sun rises tomorrow morning, these humans on earth will be drained dry, and no one will be able to save them.

The red-haired girl smiled as she passed the throne and headed towards the hall behind it.

This is the Hall of Honor of the Kingdom of Fania, where all the deceased kings are enshrined. Their statues stand here, all crafted by the nation's finest artisans.

As soon as she stepped into this hall of honor, an extremely powerful force of light began to erode the red-haired girl's body, causing her to instinctively lean against the wall for support.

"Ha, the power of heroic spirits? You who are already dead, how much use can you be?"

The red-haired girl smiled at the statues, each with its own unique clothing and expression. A large amount of red energy emanated from her body, attaching itself to all the statues and corrupting them.

"Let me amplify your dying desires, amplify your unfulfilled regrets, amplify the hatred in your hearts! Become my servants!"

A powerful red light burst through the roof and soared into the sky. The statues in the Hall of Honor were imbued with the power of the living and began to transform from stone into flesh and blood. Before long, these living statues knelt before the red-haired girl. Their appearances were those of past kings, and even their personalities were the same.

“Let me see your obsession… This… This is…”

The red-haired girl was suddenly stunned. She hadn't expected this. The vast majority of the kings of the Kingdom of Fania throughout history were unwilling to accept that their daughters had been kidnapped.

Her power only played a supporting role. In other words, what awakened the spirits of these kings was not the failure to expand their territory, but the resentment caused by their daughters being kidnapped.

This is just too ridiculous!

Forget it, as long as I can be used as a tool, that's fine.

After the kings awaken, they inherit their memories from their previous lives, but they will be absolutely loyal to the red-haired girl.

If any Faniac were standing here, they would surely condemn the red-haired girl for insulting the spirits of the former kings, but unfortunately, no one could stop her.

"Hehe, each of you is over level 250, truly worthy of being former kings."

The king's heroic spirits knelt before the red-haired girl, awaiting her command.

"Remember this well, I am your master, Chu Xing! From now on, serve me!"

"Yes! Master!"

The red-haired girl turned and left the Hall of Honor. She still needed to consider how to completely control the kingdom. She had already dealt with the royal family, but she also needed to deal with the nobles within the kingdom.

Unbeknownst to her, among these heroic spirits of kings, one was watching her back with a meaningful gaze. This king, clad in silver armor, was none other than Rod Fania, the founding king of Fania.

Rhodes was also awakened by a strong obsession, but his obsession was not that his daughter had been kidnapped, but that he wanted to know if a little girl had survived.

He once raised a silver-haired dragon girl, though only for a few years, treating her like his own daughter. Unfortunately, the empire later began hunting down all the remaining dragons, and the dragon girl was discovered. However, Rhodes, who was now the Duke of Fania, was unable to help her and could only send a maid to escape with the girl. Later, he heard that the maid had died, and the girl's whereabouts became unknown...

Later, the dragon princess led a demon army to take revenge on the empire. Rhodes returned to the battlefield to fight against the demons until the emperor died and the various provinces of the empire fell into turmoil. He returned to the Duchy of Fania to protect his people.

Next came the division of the empire, and Rhodes was forced to establish the Kingdom of Fania. As king, he was no longer bound by superiors and began sending people to search for the little dragon girl he had rescued years ago.

But he knew in his heart that the little dragon girl was probably in grave danger. After the destruction of the dragon kingdom, the empire carried out a genocide against the remaining dragons, which explained why the dragon princess who had survived was so angry.

In his later years, Rhodes even went to great lengths to send a letter to the silver dragon princess, along with a portrait, hoping to inquire whether she knew the whereabouts of the little dragon girl.

Unfortunately, the letter failed to be delivered, and his life came to an end; he died with regrets.

When he died, the Kingdom of Fania had become the most powerful country in the surrounding area. The royal family enjoyed extremely high support among the people, the cities were well-developed, and the army was of very high quality.

Therefore, he was buried with the title of Wise King. Unfortunately, few people know that even with such a fulfilling life, he also had regrets.

Now that Rhodes has returned to the mortal world, he thinks that dragons must have very long lifespans. If that little dragon girl from back then were still alive, she would probably be over a thousand years old by now...

Sigh, although they hadn't even decided on her official name yet, Rod genuinely raised her as his daughter.

The red-haired girl who awakened the heroic spirits returned to the main hall. Rhodes sensed the aura of death emanating from the hall. The current King of Fania still carried his bloodline, so he could feel that his descendant from a thousand years in the future was slowly dying.

"First Star..."

Unlike other kings, Rhodes possesses the ability to think for himself. In other words, he questions the existence of the First Star. Although the First Star awakened him, he does not have absolute loyalty to the First Star because his soul has become powerful enough to become a demigod.

He immediately became wary of the red-haired girl, but he wasn't a simpleton in his previous life, so he decided to play along, pretending to be extremely loyal, and find out what the red-haired girl was up to.

At the same time, he would also seize the opportunity to try to save the descendants whose life force was weak, after all, he did not want the bloodline of the Fania family to be cut off.

At this moment, the other kings surrounded Rhodes. Although they were extremely loyal to the First Star, they each possessed memories of their previous lives and also held Rhodes, their former king, in high esteem.

“Let me see you… First, introduce yourselves,” Rhodes commanded.

One of the kings spoke first: "Let's proceed in order. I am the second king..."

Then he was hit on the head.

"Ouch!"

"You're my son, do I need to introduce myself?!"

"Dad, stop hitting me! You've been beating me since I was a kid, and now that I'm dead, do you still want to beat me?!"

It's clear that Rod has always been very strict in educating his son.

"Grandpa, do I need to introduce myself?" the third King Fania asked timidly.

"What do you say?"

Rod glared at him; his grandson was already twenty years old when he died.

For all the kings' spirits, it was like a family reunion, with each person introducing themselves. The closer the king was to the next generation, the clearer the information they knew, because they had grown up watching the history of the royal family.

As for Rhodes, he did want to know the experiences and achievements of every king after him, and whether the rulers of Fania had forgotten their original aspirations in the more than a thousand years since his death.

But when he learned that all the other kings' resentment after their deaths stemmed from the kidnapping of their daughters, he was completely bewildered.

It's not uncommon for princesses to be kidnapped, but almost every king's daughter has been kidnapped. How is that possible?

Section 187, Page 176: Fighting is all about 1v1.

It was late at night, and snowflakes were still falling silently from the sky. Only a few houses in the entire city were still lit up. Apart from that, the dutiful guards patrolled the snowy night with torches in hand, their faint lights illuminating the darkness.

Estia silently landed in human form on the clock tower of Fania Royal City. During the day, one could see the entire city clearly from here, but at night, with the added snowfall, visibility was reduced to only the surrounding area.

But this didn't stop Esther from finding the location of the palace. She could swear on her life that she knew the palace inside much better than the Fania royal family. She had kidnapped so many princesses before, and on several occasions she had actually broken into the palace to kidnap them.

To seize someone's daughter in front of their king and then demand a ransom is truly a cruel act.

There's no need to dwell on the past. In any case, this generation's Princess Fania has already achieved the feat of being kidnapped, and judging from the current situation, it's very likely that there won't be a next generation of princesses.

Estia became more alert, and while standing on the clock tower, she was already releasing her magic to prevent being unable to react in case of danger.

Before leaving, Anstella briefly recounted what she had seen and experienced: a red-haired girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stormed into the palace, disrupting the ongoing banquet and killing the guards and her parents.

Anstella wanted to fight to the death, but her father shouted for her to escape before he collapsed. Knowing she was no match for the red-haired girl, she used magic to escape.

Only by surviving can I avenge my father and mother; only by becoming strong enough can I protect those I want to protect.

Estella sympathized with Anstella's plight, but that was all. She and Anstella weren't even friends, and her agreement to help this time was mainly due to self-interest.

She guessed that the red-haired girl might be after power, which was why she had her eye on the weak human kingdoms. To be honest, these human kingdoms were very insignificant in the world today. They were fine as long as they weren't bothered by the powerful, but if they were, they had no ability to resist.

Estella wouldn't dare say she knows all the powerful people in the world, but she knows at least 80% of them. However, the red-haired girl that Anstella mentioned should be among the remaining 20%. In Estella's memory, there are no red-haired women among the powerful people she knows.

The atmosphere in the royal city of Fania is still relatively harmonious, indicating that the upheaval is only occurring within the palace.

Estia used magic to conceal her presence, preparing to enter the palace directly to investigate the situation. As she flew over the buildings, she glanced up at the sky and saw a bright red star that was constantly emitting an eerie light.

Is he another jinx?

Strangely enough, before meeting Ye Qingxian and learning about the Star Calamity Hunters, Estia had never seen a Calamity Star in the thousand years she spent in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss.

But now she often sees red stars in the sky, which seem somewhat out of place compared to the other stars.

Having had a previous encounter with the Calamity Star, Esther remained quite wary of it. The existing information was too limited to figure out exactly what the Calamity Star was, and Ling wouldn't tell her.

If the girl who killed the king is related to the Calamity Star... no, they must be connected. I remember Ling once said that the Calamity Star is not a dungeon, but an independent world.

Since it is an independent world, there must be inhabitants in that world as well. What is their attitude towards the continent of Faya?

Before encountering the potential enemy, Esther could only speculate, the most likely guess being that the suddenly appearing red-haired girl might come from the world of the calamity planet.

Estia landed in front of the palace. The Fania Royal Palace was eerily quiet. While there were still patrolling guards on the city streets, the entrance to the Fania Royal Palace was deserted.

The palace was filled with an aura of death, an aura that made Esther's heart race.

We must not be careless; the enemy lurking in the shadows is not simple.

The moment her feet stepped into the palace, a blinding red light flashed before her eyes. Fortunately, she closed her eyes in time, only feeling a burning sensation on her skin.

"who are you?"

The red-haired girl's voice came through, and Esther opened her eyes to see the girl with a serious expression looking at her with a wary gaze.

When facing a powerful potential enemy without knowing their true strength, one must always be vigilant.
