Don't Mess with That Dragon

The affair is shrouded in a mist.

The Beastman Royal Court seems to be hidden within layers of shadows, countless threads weaving into a tangled mess.

According to the old priest of the Fallen Divine Kingdom at the time, the items inside have already been taken.

Even though the old priest was just a remnant soul, his epic-level power was still incredibly frightening.

Since the mysterious person could take away that important item from him.

This indicates that the two must have known each other, and the old priest tacitly allowed it to happen.

Not long after, a series of disturbances finally arose.

Gradually evolving into the current tempest.

The zombie undead tide seems to be related to the involvement of divine aspects behind the scenes, otherwise Austin wouldn't have obtained the divine crystal imbued with dissolving immortal law from the shattered pyramid at the nest.

"Are they stirring things up behind the scenes with figures from the divine side? But what is their actual relationship? It doesn't seem that simple..."

Austin pondered within his heart.

The spoils obtained from the zombie pyramid, though slightly different from the pure divine crystal given by the old priest, contained a trace of incomprehensible black air within.

But at least, their essence is the same.

According to Tyr's dying words, the glory of the pure-blooded Beastmen had ended long ago when the arcane mages disappeared.

In essence, the Beastman Empire built later up, including the current Beastman Royal Court.

Has there always been some power behind manipulating everything?

From Tyr's obviously flawed heart spirit perspective, it might really be so.

And,

Something might have happened within the Beastman Royal Court.

Such changes inside amplified the pure-blooded Beastman Tyr's heart flaw, thus easily allowing Austin to decipher and solve it.

Or perhaps before coming to hunt himself.

Tyr might have already gone mad.

"Preparing such a grand gift, it truly is troublesome. This battle might not be so easy!"

After thinking for a long time, Austin only felt all clues were like a tangled mess.

The core area of the Beastman Royal Court, not to mention those intricate forces behind the scenes.

Nuclear bombs, artillery, zombie undead, pyramid...

It's already confirmed that the Beastman Royal Court has used the fragments of the Gate of Truth to open a portal leading to an Apocalypse World.

It's just that, no one knows what exactly they obtained or prepared within that world.

"Forget it, sneak into the village, don't shoot. Take advantage of the chaos to secretly go to the teleportation array, take away the fragment of the Gate of Truth, and then leave directly, absolutely must not get involved in this muddy water!"

Even in such a disadvantageous situation, the Beastman Royal Court is still so complex.

Then, this time, the coalition that summoned a large number of powerful figures might be even more complex.

Various forces intertwined, each with their own goals.

Austin even suspected that the purpose of launching this grand summon might be some existences trying to stir things up.

In such a quagmire, with his small arms and legs, he might not last long jumping around.

"Two months, hope nothing unexpected happens."

This time, having absorbed the Immortal Law, his power had greatly increased.

Though it cost him two months of effort.

He couldn't tell what the situation on that side was now.

Thinking for a bit, Austin spread his wings, soared into the sky, chose a direction, and swiftly flew away.

...

Border Great Wall.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers of walls form a continuous line, stretching endlessly like mountain ranges.

This used to be the defense line of human nations against the Beastmen from the southern Kawa Great Forest.

Now, it has become the headquarters of the coalition.

Recently, a large number of creatures, magic beasts, and human powerhouses were gathered together to start a massive counterattack mobilization.

However, the current Austin is evidently late.

"Seems like delaying for two months made it late, now should I catch up or go straight back to Dragon's Nest?"

Inside the city, upon receiving the accurate information.

Auburn was a bit hesitant for a moment.

He was late; the mighty figures called by the grand summon had already gathered and were advancing toward the Beastman Royal Court.

Only some soldiers maintaining basic order and some town residents remained in the city.

Lucky for him, thanks to the recent grand summon from the coalition, a large number of creatures, magic beasts, and half-Beastmen gathered here, making the residents' hearts more robust.

Otherwise, given Austin's size, it might have caused a commotion.

"Your Eminence, although the coalition has already departed, we still need to transport food supplies continuously; perhaps tomorrow you can head out together with the supply transport team."

A human soldier attending to Austin stood in front of his enormous body.

He spoke cautiously.

He couldn't afford not to be careful. With most of the strong figures in the city already gone, if Austin had any displeasures, it might cause catastrophic damage to the city.

"Well..."

Just as Austin was about to say something, a rumbling noise came from a distance, shaking the ground.

"Blue Dragon? Who are you, why did you come so late?"

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, a cold aura spread, shocking the human soldier ahead.

A giant shadow blocked the sky.

It's a blue-skinned giant, thirty meters tall, wearing a necklace made of unknown beast skulls around his neck, looking like a primitive savage.

King of Frost Giants, Laufey!

The temperature around dropped as he appeared.

White frost began forming around his feet, a force generated by the cold air!

"I am the lord of the Northwest Dragon Nest Tribe, Blue Dragon Austin, ran into some trouble on the way, so I arrived late."

Austin's voice was low, his heart spirit somewhat cautious.

Because he sensed a hint of hostility from the opponent.

"So it was you, two months delay, finally made me wait, now die!"

King of Frost Giants Laufey laughed heartily, his voice like a tsunami, almost covering every corner of the city.

The nearby human soldier was directly blown away by the wave, crashing into surrounding houses, alive or dead, unknown.

Austin instinctively sensed danger.

At this moment, like a mountain, a shadow blocked the sky above, a gigantic beast-bone wolf fang club twenty meters long and nearly ten meters wide shattered through the void, crashing towards Austin's head!

"You!!!"

No matter what, Austin hadn't expected that the opponent would attack without warning, seemingly trying to kill him on the spot!

Damn it!

Legendary-level pressure shook the void, the terrifying aura vibrated like a tsunami, as if the light in the entire sky dimmed at this moment.

Under this vast pressure, citizens in the city couldn't move at all, being forced to the ground, weaker ones even fainting directly, foaming at the mouth.
