I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 122

Chapter 119: The Burning World

Facing the torrent of scorching dragon flames, Roy didn’t back down; instead, he charged forward, unleashing his strongest strike!

【Rending Sky Dragon’s Fang】!

A profound and dark golden pressure erupted from the tip of the sword forged from dragon fangs.

In that instant, in Bruwen’s trembling eyes, he no longer saw a noble young master but the terrifying silhouette of a world-destroying giant dragon!

The overwhelming pressure poured down like a torrential rain, like an apocalyptic storm, accompanied by a majestic dragon’s roar, it rushed towards Bruwen!

Since the First Era, dragonkind has been renowned for their terrifying destructive power, reigning over the heavens.

Only a stronger dragon could directly destroy another dragon!

The surging dragon flames were ripped apart layer by layer under the 【Rending Sky Dragon’s Fang】, moving forward with unstoppable force, penetrating Bruwen’s body!

Bruwen had lost all his previous arrogance; his blood felt frozen, and his limbs stiffened, unable to move.

All because of the overwhelming pressure emitted from Roy, making him completely unable to resist!

In that moment, Bruwen finally understood.

He was the one being mercilessly executed like a lowly creature.

The dark golden meteor streaked across the sky, causing Bruwen to plummet from the heights, crashing through several trees before crashing to the ground with a loud bang!

The already cracked blade completely pierced Bruwen’s heart.

Roy supported himself as the blade shattered.

Meanwhile, Bruwen’s dragon scales had turned to dust, and not a single piece of his chest remained intact after that horrifying strike; it was utterly penetrated!

The grotesque face of one who fancied himself a superior being now twisted into a visage of sheer terror, tears streaming down his cheeks.

The 【Rending Sky Dragon’s Fang】 was a true strike infused with the blood of the Dragon King, and even if Roy could only utilize a fraction of it, it was enough to determine the winner.

But it wasn’t easy for Roy either.

The fiery pain in his lungs was suffocating; even with dragon scales protecting him, his skin was severely burned. The worst part was that he bore the brunt of the dragon’s breath, leaving his right arm charred and oozing dark blood.

But in the end, he had won.

The good news was that the panel provided a reminder.

Dragging his weary body, Roy returned to where Charlotte was.

【Cake】 was safe, standing watch beside Charlotte.

However, the girl’s originally surprised expression instantly turned to anxiety upon noticing Roy’s injuries.

Charlotte ignored her own wounds and rushed over, looking at Roy’s charred arm with a pained expression, almost in tears.

“Roy, your injuries…”

“It’s nothing. After all, we won.” Roy gritted his teeth through the pain, managing a painful smile.

“I told you not to worry about me! Why didn’t you listen to me?”

“Did you honestly think I would abandon you?” Roy responded casually, then added, “Besides, from the moment he hurt you, I had no intention of letting him go.”

Realizing that the other was fighting bleeding for her sake, Charlotte couldn’t bring herself to chastise him any longer.

“You… idiot.”

With her eyes brimming with tears, the girl strongly grasped Roy’s hand and stepped forward to support his battered body.

Leaning against Charlotte, feeling her soft body and the fragrance of gardenias, Roy finally let out a sigh of relief.

With Bruwen dealt with, no cultists would trouble them anymore.

They just needed to ride 【Cake】 back to the capital for complete safety…

However, just as they were about to mount the griffon, a strange sound suddenly came from behind.

Roy whipped his head around.

Can you still move without a heart?!

But the sound didn’t come from Bruwen.

The breathless Bruwen with a gaping hole in his chest had finally gone silent.

This strange sound came from all directions.

At first, it was a faint tremor; then the entire forest, and even the earth itself began to shake violently, turning the faint tremor into a relentless quake.

The source of the earthquake was none other than the distant 【Doomsday Volcano】!

The tremors intensified, and the towering volcano finally shook, sending down giant boulders.

In the next instant.

A strong vibration erupted from the volcano’s peak, as if it were shaking the entire continent! Crimson lightning streaked through the night, as if the sky itself feared the existence within the volcano!

With a thunderous bang, a stream of scarlet lava shot into the clouds!

“Strange, it should be a dormant volcano?” Charlotte gazed at the blood-red night sky, confusion and fear written on her face.

But what Roy worried about was not the volcano at all, but something far more terrifying!

His worries were proved correct.

A roar nearly capable of shattering the heavens erupted from the volcano!

In the village, the draconic wyverns battling Lisa and the others suddenly halted their movements.

Moreover, in Mufeng City, Raymond’s territory, the wyverns in the depths of the forest, and the cultists lurking in every village and city all looked up at the 【Doomsday Volcano】 at that moment, kneeling in worship to their deity, the Firing King!

It was a pilgrimage.

A pilgrimage belonging exclusively to the 【Cult of the Evil Dragon】 and dragonkind!

Eighteen years later, one of the Seven Celestial Dragons, the Firing King, roared again, and its followers and people would offer their most devout pilgrimage!

At the top of the volcano, amidst the billowing smoke, a massive form slowly emerged, draped in flowing lava.

Its gigantic body stirred, its scarred wings spread wide, unleashing terrifying streams of fire in all directions, as its battered form extended, dripping with flames mixed with dragon blood.

It was grievously wounded.

Not just the shattered red scales and the battle scarred wings, but most importantly, a never-ending blaze of 【Lionheart】 red flame burned at its chest.

Eighteen years had passed, and the severe injury inflicted by the Lionheart King, Robert, had yet to heal.

Even so, when it appeared under the night sky, all beings trembled in fear!

Its name was deeply etched into the blood of the subjects of every kingdom!

【Firing King】【World-Destroying Inferno】【Burning Firmament】—

【Crimson Blood Fire Dragon: Balagas】!

Balagas paid no mind to the villages below.

To it, they were merely ants not worth the trouble of stepping on.

As it had planned, Robert Reinhardt had been drawn away.

Unfortunately, those ants could never accomplish the task; it had to act personally.

Balagas’s gaze swept past the forest, locking onto Roy’s position.

Fortunately, the blood of the False King had been successfully brought along.

Oh? And there’s a lineage from the Reinhardt family too?

Recalling the face of that human king, the wound in its chest twinged painfully, and Balagas’s hatred surged, turning into deep anticipation.

Eighteen years ago, the Lionheart King Robert had once pushed it to the brink.

Now, it just so happened that his daughter was here to repay that blood debt!

The blood of the False King, coupled with Reinhardt’s daughter.

After enjoying these two, its dragon blood would become purer, healing its wounds and restoring its peak! Then it would conveniently destroy the capital, and kill Robert Reinhardt, reducing the ants’ kingdom to ashes!

The era belonging to dragonkind would finally arrive!

The fire dragon smirked, letting out a roar towards the burning night sky!

Thousands of dragons across the kingdom responded with a thunderous roar to the Firing King’s call!

Crimson flames stained the night sky.

The world was burning.
