I have a hero simulator

If the [Witch of Jealousy] is a symbol of terror, then it is a symbol of hope and trust.

Because the achievements of this being are very important to the world.

And that extremely powerful being is called the [Divine Dragon], Polkenica.

"Shenlong..."

"hiss--!!"

Recalling the other person's name that was praised by the world, Emilia felt her whole body suddenly turn cold.

That being said, Ramrem was also feeling nervous like Emilia.

Of course, the ones who should have had it the easiest should be the Greedy Witch Echidna and Shen Yuan, while Pandora was being targeted and pressured, with the dragon's fierce eyes looking down at them.

“Is this the being Emilia and Ram often praise as great?”

Shen Yuan seemed to have broken the silence and spoke first.

But even for such a big shot, [Shenlong]'s pupils shrank into needles when he saw Shen Yuan.

It felt the unusually huge soul fluctuations in this humanoid creature. No one understood the meaning of this power better than the dragon. This guy who looked like a human had a combat power dozens of times greater than its own, which was extremely terrifying.

If Shen Yuan's total combat power is "389 million (pseudo-middle-level god)", then Shenlong's combat power is "9 (legendary demigod)".

The difference is 43 times.

No wonder he could easily defeat Sword Saint Red, a peak human being.

"..."

Everyone, including the dragon, fell silent.

Emilia gasped as she and the others looked over Polkenica's entire body.

The blue, dark scales gleamed like gems, and each one felt sharper than a forged sword.

Its sturdy front and hind legs were adorned with claws like pitch-black rock. Its face, resembling that of an earth dragon, exuded a sense of immortality, and its golden eyes seemed to have gazed upon an incredible eon. Its head was crowned with two massive horns, as white as jade and strikingly so.

Even breathing felt impossible without the other party's permission. The existence of the True Dragon made one feel that he had the power to control the world.

Its total length was about fifteen or sixteen meters. Because it did not stand up but lay there with its wings and tail folded, its actual size was unknown.

However, it is this big even when it is lying down, not to mention when its whole body is stretched out.

And it must be this one that created the passage on this level of the surveillance tower.

"As expected—the one on the third floor is Shaula, the one on the second floor is Red, and the one on the first floor is Polkenica."

"..."

"The final trial is the true form of the dragon!"

Everyone looked at each other, the dragon stared at them silently, and they were also looking at the dragon. The seemingly weird atmosphere was deadlocked.

Finally, Echidna sighed, stepped forward, and began to negotiate with the dragon. She said, "Polkenica, excuse me. Let me introduce you. This is Shen Yuan—"

"I think you can sense that his strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. It was he who lifted the seal on my soul and resurrected me. However, because of this, I was controlled. Therefore, all my actions do not represent my own will, I guess."

Hearing this, the dragon Polkenica's eyes were still empty and gradually lost focus, but instinct made it stare vigilantly at Shen Yuan and the breathtaking and deadly sickle on his shoulder.

"Shen Yuan, this is Bolkenica. People like to call him the Dragon, but we've actually known each other for 400 years. He's one of the Three Heroes, one of the three heroes who dedicated themselves to sealing the Witch of Jealousy and left their names in the history of the Lugnica Kingdom."

Of course, Echidna herself also made contributions, for example, she became a restraining force to suppress the soul of the Witch of Envy.

Despite this, if everyone else still understood the relationship between the dragon and the witch.

"It's still the same after hundreds of years, Shenlong."

Finally, upon hearing this, the silent "Dragon" stared at Echidna and the others with its golden eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that those pupils are so deep that they seem to be sucked in.

The battle with the Witch of Envy and the alliance with the Kingdom of Lugnica took place four hundred years ago. However, this great dragon must have lived through much longer than that.

For nearly a thousand years, this pair of eyes gazed at the people of the world.

It raised its magnificent chin and spoke:

"You who have reached the top of the tower, enter this level, the Almighty petitioner."

"..."

"I, Polkenica, abide by the ancient covenant and have no desire to pursue you."

"...What did he say?"

Everyone remained silent and asked Echidna. Only the knowledgeable Witch of Greed and the clever Emilia reacted. Pandora would not speak on her own initiative. Her words were magical. Even if she knew something, she would not say it out loud.

"No, I think Shenlong might have died...spiritually."

Echidna watched the scene with a touch of sadness. She sighed, "So many years have passed. The [Divine Dragon] Polkannica has been neglected for so long. Perhaps it has already reached spiritual death. Now, only its body is still alive, but its consciousness has long since faded. To describe it in human terms, it's probably suffering from 'Alzheimer's'!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Emilia and the others were all stunned.

"Shenlong, has it developed dementia... Doesn't that mean it doesn't remember anything?"

This is not impossible.

Like Red, whose body died, his soul was resurrected and became the trial itself.

The dragon may be the opposite. It has already died spiritually, but its body is still alive. It instinctively remembers what it needs to do, which becomes the final test.

"Touching its dragon scales marks the beginning of the trial. Kill it... and free Polkenica!"

Echidna sighed deeply and gave the answer to the final trial.

Killing Red's soul freed him; killing the dragon's body freed it; and finally destroying the Sage's Tower to free Shaula, who had painstakingly guarded it for 400 years. In a sense, liberating the Sage's Tower was a good thing.

In addition, the same goes for the Witch of Jealousy who has been sealed for four hundred years. Satira is also waiting for someone who can kill her to appear and help her be freed.

"Ah, no. Now's not the time to be thinking about that. ...Well, we're here for a trial! A further trial! We have to challenge it!"

Emilia seemed to be trying to wake up the dragon, but the dragon still looked dazed.

"I don't know how difficult this 'trial' will be, but please hurry! The dragon is already spiritually dead. Killing it now will help it find liberation."

Pandora was also urging Shen Yuan to act quickly.

"Shut up!"

Shen Yuan ignored her urging and walked towards the position of the dragon.

However, he did not attack the dragon. Instead, he walked past it and came to the center of the tower that the dragon had been guarding. He saw a black monolith with six human handprints on it, one of which was identical to Emilia's hand.

"The trial is over."

Shen Yuan waved his hand and asked the others to come closer: "Emilia, try pressing your hand on that handprint."

"I see!"

The moment Emilia obeyed Shen Yuan's order and lowered her hands, Shenlong stopped muttering the lines like a tape recorder, then turned her head to look at Emilia, and after a moment, slowly lowered her head as if to show obedience.

At this point, the Tower of Sages was liberated.

——It’s that simple.

——It’s so simple that it’s astonishing.

After all, this is reasonable and normal, because all the trials in the Sage Tower were won by Shen Yuan in seconds, and Emilia would not encounter any trouble, so she went directly to the location of the handprint.

"By the way, what are the other five hand seals?"

"There's mine."

Echidna moved closer and successfully placed her hand seal on one of them.

It means that she was also one of the six sealers.

However, the fingerprints do not need to be filled in completely. As long as anyone puts them in, just like fingerprint verification, the tower will recognize the administrator's identity and no longer need to defend against enemies.

"Is this what 'key' means? No, is Shatira's seal lifted?"

After the Watchtower was liberated, the mechanism of sand time disappeared, Shaula was annihilated, and Red's soul dissipated. The only living creature in the entire tower was the dragon Polkenica.

Then, the ground began to shake.

"Boom boom boom——!"

"What's going on?!"

"I don't know, let's go to the underground palace and take a look!"

Suddenly, there was a vibration sound coming from under the sand dunes. Everyone who noticed the abnormality rushed over without stopping.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the sand dunes, in a place filled with a very strong witch's miasma, a strange door stood abruptly, and several black shadows appeared around it, emitting a strong witch's breath, which was obviously related to Satira.

"Go open it!"

Staring at the door, the Witch of Decorativeness Pandora suddenly spoke. In an instant, Emilia seemed to be controlled, her eyes became dull, and she walked towards the magic stone of the miasma door.

“Emilia?!”

"Hey, Pandora, are you planning to tear each other apart at this time?"

Echidna glared at this side.

"Let's wait and see."

Shen Yuan stopped the others who were about to take action. At this time, the Archbishop of the Witch Cult, one dead and one injured, came over. Gluttony and Shaula died together, leaving only anger and lust and a few witch cultists looking at this side fanatically.

"Drinking up all the world's treasures, Queen of the City of Shadows, the most terrible disaster—the Witch of Jealousy!"

"Finally, resurrection!"

Emilia, who was controlled by Pandora's false power, was approaching the door step by step. The dark shadow in front of the door stopped its rampage and slowly pieced together the information of the former witch with the fragmented shadows.

The dark mist gradually enveloped the silver-haired half-elf.

Emilia's flowing hair was illuminated by the flames of jealousy, as if she would be pulled into endless darkness at any time.

Become the witch whose body will never decay or age, and whose life is endless.

The Witch of Disaster who wiped out the six witches that plagued the world in the past and destroyed half of the world.

Now it is about to be awakened, and is waiting for the day to take revenge on the world.

"Forget it... Emilia, come back!"

Seeing that the black fog was about to swallow Emilia, Shen Yuan spoke to wake her up.

A shocking shock followed his voice, and Emilia broke free from Pandora's control and woke up.

"Tsk." Pandora showed a dissatisfied look, and then the witch cultists and the archbishops of sin all moved towards Emilia as if they were instructed, as if they wanted to get to Shen Yuan before her and make her the vessel of the Witch of Jealousy.

Once the shadow merges with Emilia, Emilia's personality will be killed, and the new Witch of Jealousy will reappear in the world using her body as a container.

"Do you think I don't exist?"

When Shen Yuan saw that his orders were resisted, he realized that Pandora was going to rebel.

But it doesn't matter. He no longer needs Pandora's power now.

"In that case, let's fight—Ram, Rem, Betty, please hold them back!"

"Echidna, you and the other witches go deal with Pandor 0.2ra!"

Shen Yuan moved quickly. He took the lead in swinging his sickle and used the power of Soul-Draining Blow to kill the Archbishop of Wrathful Sin. In an instant, the giant sickle swept across and the sharp blade penetrated him, defeating him.

However, he wasted no time and rushed to Emilia, instantly cutting off the shadow that was about to engulf her.

A strong shock wave erupted from his palm, and the black shadow retreated as if it had been electrocuted. Emilia also woke up.

"what--!"

From the girl's hands behind him, he could sense that she seemed very scared and terrified, and her body was trembling slightly.

Emilia doesn't want to be someone else's vessel, she doesn't want to die like this.

"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, the Witch of Jealousy can't hurt you!"

When Shen Yuan said this, he was about to face the black shadow.

A voice came from the front.

“…Emilia.”
