I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 858

Chapter 71: The Might of the Dragon King

“Sorry I’m late.”

After confirming that Charlotte wasn’t mortally wounded, I offered her a gentle smile for comfort, but when I turned to face the Eclipse King, my expression was devoid of humor.

Though there was no threat to life, seeing the royal capital—once a place of joyful memories—now in ruins, with the faces that had once cheered for him reduced to mere bones, and witnessing Charlotte covered in blood, only intensified my desire for vengeance.

I looked down at Cheese and asked, “Scared?”

“Brother, are you joking? To be in front of Miss Cake, I’m just happy to be here!” Unlike when we faced Marigold last time, Cheese’s breathing was a bit heavy, but there was no hint of retreat.

Krolyan looked pleasantly surprised.

Most Rank 5s would tense up to the breaking point when facing him, fighting with everything they had, but rarely did he see such genuine intent to kill.

This guy really wanted to kill him.

Krolyan immediately recognized the identity before him.

The Blood of the False King was also an extremely rare foe in his era, and Krolyan found it hard not to be interested.

“So you’re the Blood of the False King? Not bad, I didn’t even notice your presence just now. I heard you made Marigold look pathetic… Heh, come on, let me see what you can do!”

The response was a flash of golden lightning and the glimmer of dragon teeth.

The combined charge of the griffin was a signature move of every griffin knight.

The blazing Dragon Flame Blade, engulfed in the Fire of Ashen Flame, swooped in but to my surprise, it failed to breach Krolyan’s dragon scales.

The flame was extinguished by corrosive liquid, leaving traces of corrosion on the dragon teeth.

“Haha! That’s truly the fire of Balagas! What else can you do?!”

Krolyan lunged in close, claw raised.

The dragon claws were sharp, but what terrified Roy was the bizarre corrosive liquid that could eat through steel.

In a rush, Roy flipped off the griffin, narrowly dodging the attack.

As Krolyan came at him again, Roy gracefully evaded the dripping dragon claws with ghostly, flowing movements.

Mirror Flower Water Moon.

No matter how fast Krolyan was, his series of dragon claw slashes couldn’t land on Roy’s figure.

At first, Krolyan was surprised, but the frustration of swinging at thin air quickly began to wear on him, making his movements increasingly reckless.

Charlotte was nearly dumbfounded.

Unlike before when Krolyan wouldn’t fight back, Roy was now dancing around Krolyan’s serious attacks, even managing to strike back once or twice.

Before long, Krolyan made a mistake.

Another attack missed, and just as he was about to gather power for a massive area attack, the Golden-Winged Griffin seized the opportunity and knocked him off balance.

Even the griffin’s full-force strike only caused Krolyan to stagger, but that small opening was enough for Roy.

Ignition!

The blade struck forth, calling upon the Dragon Breath from the Crimson Blood Dragon, severing countless cultists and demons in a single arc.

Yet this seemingly impossible strike was caught by Krolyan with one hand.

Then, the corrosive liquid erupted, causing Roy’s heart to race as he quickly retreated.

If that stuff touched him, even a pureblood dragon would turn into a puddle of blood!

The Dragon Flame dissipated under the acid, and the sword was reduced to nothing but remnants.

Krolyan sneered, stepping through the leftover dragon flames, confronting Roy directly.

“You can’t escape.”

With a swipe of his dragon claws,

As Charlotte’s anxious shout rang out, Roy’s body was sent flying like a rag doll, smashing through a large building behind him.

The sharp strike pierced through the Evil Dragon Blood Armor, but what was worse was the acid that could corrode steel.

However, both the panicked Charlotte and the confident Krolyan were taken aback for a moment.

As the winds settled, Roy got back up.

Other than a few bloodstains, the young boy was unharmed, his body covered once more by a new layer of dragon scale armor.

Realizing the power of the Blood of the False King, Krolyan was confused: “Self-healing from the Blood Clan? But even the Blood Clan shouldn’t be able to withstand my corrosive power.”

In fact, even Roy was surprised.

The terrifying acid didn’t feel nearly as painful as expected; only the dragon claws had an effect, while the acid quickly dissolved in his blood.

That’s right, he had the blood of a mermaid within him, and the power of Pure Water seemed specifically designed to counteract such corrosive acids!

Realizing this, Roy swiftly shifted to Weapon Projection: Pure Water, launching a water-blue spear to initiate his next wave of attacks.

Without a doubt, the spear was easily snatched by Krolyan, who actually laughed at the puny strike.

“What? You think this weak… Ah!”

The water-blue spear detonated, and Krolyan screamed like he’d been scalded with boiling water.

This technique actually worked!

Seizing the opportunity, Roy charged forward with his sword while activating True Qi Blood Forging.

After Rorin’s intense training, a torrential downpour of seventy-two Pure Water Blades descended, engulfing Krolyan’s figure. The pure watery light diluted the corrosive liquid covering the dragon scales.

Though it didn’t deal severe damage, it was enough to awaken the fury of the Seven Great Celestial Dragons.

The Acid Corrosion King’s smile faded, and he roared in a snarl, his aura rising sharply.

But all of this froze the moment Roy’s golden eyes flashed.

Roy advanced, channeling his bloodline and unsheathing his sword, refining the dragon power to perfection.

True Qi Blood Eruption + Shattering Dragon Tooth!

The ethereal dragon roar resonated as the dark gold light burst forth like thunder, a forceful slash resembling a dragon’s claw successfully tore through the dragon scales, causing the blood of the Seven Great Celestial Dragons to spray forth.

No wonder he was his sworn knight!

Charlotte couldn’t help but cheer in excitement, feeling unprecedentedly thrilled.

And Krolyan’s smile finally lost its playfulness.

Holding his bleeding shoulder, he fixated on the black-haired boy, his expression drawn as he realized the gravity of the situation.

“The Blood Elemental’s Blood Healing, the merfolk’s Pure Water, the power of the False King really uses foreign bloodlines…”

As an ancient dragon from the First Era, Krolyan could hardly miss the powers of those mythical beings that once stood against the dragons.

But what really made him shudder wasn’t those.

“What was that just now?”

Roy wasn’t foolish enough to explain his trump card to the enemy: “What do you mean?”

But Krolyan was already guessing: “Marigold mentioned sensing the aura of your father on you; I thought that guy had gone mad…”

“Now it seems, you truly possess a part of your father’s power.”

Roy’s expression remained unchanged as he pointed his sword at Krolyan: “It’s too late to be scared now.”

“Scared? No, no, no, no, no!”

Krolyan’s smile grew increasingly feral, the skin of the human turning to mush, his lips curling into a bizarre curve impossible for any human to achieve, his eyes openly displaying deep greed.

“The remnants of the Father King come at the perfect time! It would be wasteful for a mere mortal to use it; if I can devour it, I could completely replace Nidhogg and become the King of Dragons!”
