The Warrior of Love

At this moment, the golden round shield released a brilliant golden light, which stung Jiang Liu's eyes and suppressed Jiang Liu's sword in the air.

If the timing is right, even armor can be transformed into a sharp blade!

This arrogant hero must pay the price!

See, this is my real strength!

In just a snap of my fingers, I can tear you to pieces——

"Ugh……"

A long sigh sounded in the empty hall, and Bagset suddenly found that time and space seemed to have stopped. The world turned black and white, and even its body stopped.

Do not!

This is an illusion!

Time still flows normally, but Bagsett's "heart" is frozen.

The insect warriors may not be able to understand this method called "Haoshoku Haki", but they can clearly feel their own powerlessness.

It is a great irony that the God of War, who has the power of ice and can freeze everything, is unable to move at this moment.

"Ahhh-"

The insect man let out a high-pitched roar, mixed with the piercing hissing sounds unique to insects, and with an indomitable will that would rather break his own limbs than give up, he forcibly broke through the "black and white world" and returned to normal time and space, continuing his previous actions with his mighty and powerful body.

Those weapons became faster and more powerful, carrying Bagset's momentum to break through the limits, as if they were going to split the Ice Dragon Mountain Range in half!

In contrast, Jiang Liu was so calm, he squinted his eyes without panic, took a half step back, and held the sword with both hands, pointing it diagonally to the sky before suddenly dropping it -

Zheng!

A clear and long sword sound passed by, and the world suddenly became quiet, and the insect warriors stopped moving.

The huge compound eyes gradually lost their luster, and extremely thin red threads slowly emerged from their bodies.

puff!puff!

Wounds crisscrossed each other, instantly tearing the body of the warrior, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, apart.

Along with the six weapons, the hard shells and smelly flesh all fell onto the ice...

"Although you like weapons, you still don't understand them."

Jiang Liu looked quietly at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

"More weapons are not necessarily better... Even if you are proficient in a thousand weapons, it is still not as good as the ultimate one."

Chapter 381: For external use or internal use?

In the end, Jiang Liu saved the Ice Dragon clan.

After defeating Bagset, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Heber easily removed the collar that bound the queen and the mental curse that the ice dragon clan carried.

After all, he learned the sacred magic directly from the goddess, and he was holding the masterpiece of the God of Mines. Except for the trick that violated the rules, such as "resurrection", Hebe could basically be regarded as the top priest.

Although the devil's cursed item is powerful, it cannot stop the serious young goddess.

However, even after the curse was lifted, the ice dragons did not dare to approach Jiang Liu, including the elders released from the dark space. All the ice dragons showed a mixture of fear and uneasiness.

Rather than respect for the brave, it's more of a warning against the natural enemy...

Come to think of it, after all, this man had just killed Bagset, the monster that easily suppressed the Ice Dragon clan, with a single sword.

There was no life-threatening move, nor any earth-shattering forbidden magic. He just drew his sword in a normal way and chopped it down as if it was a matter of course. The arrogant and powerful insect man fell down so easily...

Even after being liberated and gaining their freedom, the ice dragons were not at all happy.

After all, Jiang Liu still has the aura of the "Dragon Slayer". Who can be happy facing such a powerful natural enemy?

Even if the other party had no ill intentions, it was possible that they would kill a few dragons as if they had accidentally stepped on an ant... Such concerns kept recurring in the ice dragons' minds.

Judging from their own experience, the ice dragons will never let go of anyone who offends them, so they also believe that Jiang Liu will punish the ice dragon clan that was previously their enemy.

If he really cannot calm down his anger, then he will just come out and die. He just hopes that he will be satisfied with that. The Ice Dragon Elder who had just been released was already considering such a thing.

Well, although this is just their unfounded worry.

Jiang Liu would certainly not punish the Ice Dragon Clan, or even if he wanted to punish them, the executors should be the people who were harmed by the blizzard.

After all, they did do bad things, even if it was not their own intention, they did cause great harm... The dead will not be resurrected. In this case, they need to atone for their sins or make compensation for it.

Of course, this is a problem between them and the victim. Jiang Liu will not stay here for too long and will soon have to embark on his journey again.

Before that, the only ice dragon who is not afraid of Jiang Liu, the Queen, has something to say to Jiang Liu.

This was the day after the queen regained her consciousness and ordered her people to stop the blizzard magic. The "Dragon Wine" and the delicious food she had eaten at the welcome banquet the day before had not yet been completely digested, so the queen once again summoned all the people to the hall and invited Jiang Liu and the other two to come.

But this time it was not a banquet, but a more serious occasion.

The Ice Dragon Queen, wearing a gorgeous ice-blue dress and looking like a human noblewoman, smiled and said, "Thank you again, brave man, for your help. It was you who saved the Ice Dragon Clan from the abyss of depravity. This kindness can never be repaid. Our clan will always remember your kindness."

"It's nothing... Instead of thanking me, you should think about how to apologize to those ordinary people." Jiang Liu said calmly.

A trace of sadness flashed across the queen's face: "Yes, we have committed an unforgivable crime this time. As atonement, we will do our best to help the affected people get through the autumn and winter. We will not stop our assistance until their lives are completely back on track.

Of course, this is what we should do, but those who died can never come back...so at least we should compensate their families."

"Can it be done?"

"Although they don't have the habit of using money, the dragon race can collect various treasures and exchange them for a large amount of materials in human society. They are still capable of doing this."

"That's good..." Jiang Liu nodded, "But I will be leaving soon and cannot interfere with this matter. You should go discuss it with those human lords."

"That's right... My dear hero, I have one more thing to tell you."

The Ice Dragon Queen looked directly into Jiang Liu's eyes and said seriously, "Our Ice Dragon Clan is a matrilineal inheritance, and the Queen has led the clan for generations. About 1,300 years ago, the 13th Queen, my grandmother, left a prophecy before she died.

She foresaw a future where the world was shrouded in darkness, and the goddess who descended from the divine realm would guide the brave to drive out the darkness and save the world from despair!

As a part of this world, we, the Ice Dragon Clan, naturally have to help the heroes, so we have been preparing since then...

About three hundred years ago, my mother, the fourteenth queen, sensed the darkness hidden on the other side of the world, but was attacked by the enemy during her investigation. She barely escaped back to her nest and died after holding on for a while.

After that, I did not forget the wishes of my ancestors, and carefully preserved the artifact passed down from ancient times, hoping that one day I could give it to the right person. Finally, today I have waited for you, my brave master!"

The queen's fair face turned a little red, as if she was too excited, and she gave instructions to the side.

"Ais!"

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

A beautiful and slender blue dragon flew over, and under the collective gaze of the Ice Dragon Clan, Jiang Liu and others, it carried the two boxes and respectfully placed them on the ground.

This is the secret treasure of the dragon clan that the insect warriors have been longing for. Only the queen knows where it is kept. After she regained consciousness, she unsealed it and brought it out.

"The first secret treasure is a shield forged by the 'Ancestor' using his own scales and the secret magic of the gods."

The queen opened the first box, and inside lay a round shield about one meter in diameter.

The entire thing is a beautiful ice-blue color, and its surface is filled with a strange aura that can be called "divine," making it look like a crystal shrouded in mist.

The edge of the shield was engraved with rose-like thorny vines, and in the center was a narrow diamond... No, it should be an imitation of the vertical pupil pattern of the dragon clan.

Judging from its size, it doesn't look like the kind of weapon a dragon would use.

"It is said that this shield was made by the 'First One' to commemorate an old friend who helped him, but that person had long since passed away so it could not be given away. Its name is - 'Frostbound Reverse Scale'!"

Jiang Liu nodded, without saying any polite words, and accepted it straightforwardly.

"Then I won't be polite."

"It would be great if this shield could be put to good use. The great feat of protecting the brave man is enough to make it a sacred weapon to be praised."

The queen explained, "Besides its beautiful appearance, it is also quite practical. It is almost immune to heat and ice attribute attacks, and its physical defense is equal to that of the proto-dragons. There may be swords and magic in this world that can break its defense, but there will never be more than five of them."

"Indeed." Jiang Liu nodded in agreement. In fact, the moment he touched the shield, he understood its level as a defensive equipment - the highest level!

Its defensive power is even far greater than that of the Valkyrie's armor. In this world, it should be classified as a special existence that is either a divine weapon or close to a divine weapon.

"And the second thing... this wine flask, or rather what's inside it."

The second box contained a sealed, ornate wine vessel, which was definitely not large, and seemed more like a "potion bottle" than a "flask".

But the shape is beautiful enough, and it is dotted with tiny gems, which makes people wonder whether it is the painstaking work of an artist.

Not to mention its contents, the container itself gives people the impression of being "priceless".

"This is?"

The Ice Dragon Queen said: "It's dragon blood..."

"Hmm?" Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows.

"And it is the Dragon King's heart blood."

The Ice Dragon Queen said in a deep voice: "Grandmother, mother, and I - the blood of the three dragon kings can give anyone a powerful vitality comparable to that of a dragon! Although you may not need it."

Although the queen lost to the insect man, her strength should not be underestimated. With enough vision, she could naturally discover Jiang Liu's inhuman physique, which was a monster that even dragons could not compare to...

"No, I still want to say thank you."

Jiang Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Although his vitality was already very strong, there was no reason for him to refuse the opportunity to take another step forward.

"it is good!"

Jiang Liu did it as he thought. He opened the seal and drank the dragon blood in the bottle.

"Um--"

The queen's expression twisted for some reason when she saw this scene.

"My hero... that is actually used to wipe the body."

Jiang Liu: “…”

Then why do you use a wine bottle?!

Chapter 382: Lost and Regained Muscles

What does it feel like to drink dragon's blood?

In fact, it was nothing special. It was just like a glass of mellow red wine. It was not at all fishy and smelly like ordinary animal blood. The first moment Jiang Liu drank it, he could only feel a thin line of coldness falling into his stomach.

Suddenly, the chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow spread throughout the body, causing Jiang Liu's skin to instantly tighten and all his hairs to stand up.

Soon, all the bones and muscles in the body began to tremble together, not because of fear or cold, but a reaction close to "struggle", as if they had their own consciousness and were desperately trying to break the current constraints and evolve to a new level.

"Well……"

Despite such a violent reaction, Jiang Liu was not too worried, because new words appeared on a page deep in his sea of ​​consciousness -

[Necessary factors detected]

【Good matching】

[Self-disciplined update of ability values ​​begins...]

[Passive magic "Unbeatable Hero"...

Additional Legend: Sigurd, the One Who Devoured the Dragon's Heart;

update completed.

Added effects: Increased mana limit, increased vitality limit, dragon blood heart, dragon power race magic: Dragon Roar A]

——The three major magics derived from the blessings Jiang Liu received in the dungeon worldview are basically passive.

Among them, "The Trial of the Overlord" is the ultimate version of the battle continuation, which can reverse desperate situations, and more than once. As long as Jiang Liu is not defeated in all trials at once, he is close to immortality.

"Shining Victory" is specially used in revenge battles. Even if Jiang Liu is at an absolute disadvantage, he can escape as long as there is a slight chance, and then make a comeback. His rise after failure will only make him stronger.

The "Unbeatable Hero" simply strengthens his body and thereby gains extremely strong defense. In addition to his own resistance, he can also imitate the heroic deeds in mythology to further improve his body.

To be honest, Jiang Liu has always regarded "Undefeated Brave" as a purely defensive skill, but today it came in handy in another way.

Apparently, the act of drinking the Dragon King's heart blood is highly similar to the deeds of Sigurd in Norse mythology, and thus he received a similar blessing as that hero.

If, on the other hand, he didn't drink it but applied it on his body, he would be like Siegfried and gain a body of steel like the "Dragon Blood Armor".

However, Jiang Liu already has that ability, and in comparison, the current change is better.

"Lord Brave!"
