Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

He has truly lost what was most important to him...

Old Tang felt unwell, and his heart was filled with loneliness and fear... He said in a panic, "What exactly have I lost?"

"not……"

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, and the surrounding houses and buildings were destroyed by the attack, creating a rumbling sound... It was as if countless creatures were relentlessly attacking his side, densely packed, like a massive army of iron cavalry...

Old Tang felt a chill run down his spine. The series of strange events made him feel completely insecure, and he suddenly realized that he should fight to the death to escape from here.

These densely packed sounds reminded him of the army of dead servants that Chu Zihang had mentioned.

When Chu Zihang and his father entered Odin Nibelungen, they were besieged by countless Dead Servants on the elevated highway.

Fortunately, Chu Tianjiao had some skills and successfully drove Chu Zihang across the Sea of ​​Dead Servants, although Odin seemed to have made the situation even more serious at the end...

The movements and sounds of those unidentified creatures seemed to have reached downstairs, but then suddenly stopped, without advancing any further or rushing up to devour it.

"Hiss... Boss, when are you coming to save me? I feel like Odin really can't hold back anymore."

Old Tang sighed repeatedly. He suspected that his loneliness stemmed from the feeling that his boss had abandoned him, which inevitably brought him sadness.

Why is Odin staring at me...?

Old Tang wanted to cry. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the city, so why was Odin so fixated on him? And that Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire—he hadn't even enjoyed any benefits from Norton, yet he'd shouldered the heavy responsibility of facing Odin's siege…

This is a huge loss!

Chapter 203 The Battle of the Dragon King (Revised)

[...Before a dragon's body decays and dies, it prepares eggs in advance, but the Dragon King is unique...]

The system frantically searched for dragon script data in Bronze City, then quickly deciphered it, and finally understood one thing—why Odin only harassed Tang Sanzang but didn't kill him directly.

Because he was waiting for Norton to wake up.

No two dragons are exactly alike in the world. Before a dragon dies in its old body, it will lay eggs. What's sinister is that it can lay many eggs, and all of these eggs can hatch into dragons, depending on which egg the dragon chooses in its subconscious.

The first thing every dragon does after emerging from its cocoon is to lay new eggs...

It's somewhat similar to rebirth through blood, but not quite the same. This is why, throughout human history, despite countless attempts to slay dragons, the Dragon King has never been effectively killed.

So under what circumstances will the egg belonging to the King of Bronze and Fire within Lao Tang's body definitely awaken?

Norton knew Constantine was dead.

"Then what about Old Tang now..." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a chill, sensing that something was wrong.

Is Old Tang about to be finished? Is this all a setup?

Lu Mingfei's first reaction was to suspect Lu Mingze, that little devil. The other party was so familiar with dragons, there was no way he wouldn't know this.

If he kills Constantine, Norton will wake up with Dom, and then Odin will attack Norton...

"...Not necessarily, there's still a sliver of a chance. Norton awakened within Doflamingo; he's the King of Bronze and Fire, and he might not be without a chance against Odin. Going back now might still be in time to collect Doflamingo's body..."

Without hesitation, the system rushed out of the Bronze City and onto the ship.

In just two or three minutes, all the effects caused by the boiling river water were washed away by the rolling Yangtze River.

The Three Gorges Dam has an annual water flow of over 400 billion cubic meters. Although the battle scene just now was magnificent, in the face of the huge water flow, all traces of it eventually flowed eastward with the Yangtze River.

"I need to go back to Binhai. I've permanently opened the gates of Bronze City. Go and collect the bodies of those four fallen warriors."

The system discarded Samson's Dragon Bone Cross, carried the sword case, took the gun loaded with Philosopher's Stone bullets from the half-breed of the Holy Judgment Word Spirit, activated its full-power Word Spirit, and flew eastward like a shooting star.

"This……"

The people on the boat looked at each other in disbelief. The battle had ended too quickly, and they hadn't fully recovered yet. They weren't even sure if their boss was still alive until he came out of the water. When their boss came out, they were both surprised and horrified.

Because besides the dragon bone cross that the boss had left behind, he was also holding another dragon bone cross in his hand, which vaguely resembled the remains of a child? This reminded them of the figure they had vaguely seen, engulfed in flames.

The King of Bronze and Fire, the Dragon King—Constantine!

Our boss really killed a dragon king! That terrifying battle just now…

They were momentarily stunned.

"Get to work, stop thinking nonsense, send someone down."

Xia Mi's voice came through the channel, urging them to stay alert and focus on what they needed to do.

Tell them to keep working. Xia Mi watched the figure disappear into the distance like a shooting star, her heart pounding with anger.

Damn it... How could Lu Mingfei be so petty as to take Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross away? Can't he trust us just this once? You're in such a hurry to take Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross, it's such a nuisance. Wouldn't it have been better to leave it with us to look after?

If Lu Mingfei had left behind Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross, her half-year of infiltration would have yielded unparalleled rewards. What a pity, what a pity...

By the way, why was he in such a hurry to return to Binhai? Did Odin intervene?

……

The system didn't think as much as Xia Mi did. She carried the sword box because it contained Norton's weapon for dealing with the Dragon King, and she carried Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross because it would be very useful not only on the way but also once they arrived.

All it wants now is to get to that damn seaside as quickly as possible.

After all, even if Norton was the Dragon King, he might not be able to last long under Odin.

Odin came prepared, while Norton has only just awakened. With the enemy coming on strong, Norton probably won't be able to escape even if he wants to. He can only hold on and drag things out, or try to find a way to die together with Odin.

However, the straight-line distance from here to the coast is actually over a thousand kilometers.

For a dragon, this distance is impossible to cover in an instant, let alone for Lu Mingfei, who is only using his Word of Power to travel at full speed. Unless he is riding on a hypersonic missile with a speed exceeding Mach 5 (over 6000 kilometers per hour), he cannot get there quickly...

Lu Mingfei's current speed relies entirely on the superposition of a bunch of Word Spirits, which means that when he used the Dragon King Experience Card, he took the opportunity to maximize the level of Word Spirit decryption, and also had extremely high speed.

But the speed is only Mach 1 at most...

It will take about an hour to get back? Can Norton handle that?

Lu Mingfei was unsure, and the system analysis was also uncertain. The probability was too low; Odin had been eyeing Norton for a long time.

Moreover, regardless of whether Norton can hold out for an hour, the alchemical matrix driving the dragon blood within Lu Mingfei's body cannot last that long!

Even at full power, it can only burn for about twenty minutes. Replenishing with the dragon blood from the Constantine Dragonbone Cross along the way will also take some time…

"Lu Mingze."

Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei summoned the little devil and asked, "Did you not even consider after-sales service?"

We agreed beforehand that we'd give him two employees with Dragon King talents, but we only managed to get one. I guess the other one is gone. You two are in cahoots, aren't you?

Hmm, it seems the little devil has quite a few allies? Whether it was Angers before or Odin now, they all seem to be helping the little devil.

Or did the little devil anticipate this? Was it all part of his plan?

The little devil shrugged and quickly followed Lu Mingfei, saying, "Brother, you don't need to be too anxious. You'll have enough time. Although Norton is a bit weak, Odin doesn't dare to bet too high because he doesn't have a 100% chance of winning. Otherwise, if I make a slight move and you grit your teeth, he'll explode. So he's a bit hesitant."

"I'll grit my teeth, and you'll make a slight move?" Lu Mingfei immediately understood what the other party was talking about.

Odin was also afraid of igniting himself?

The system reviewed its experience and analyzed: "[...In Dragon King form just now, the host's flight speed most likely exceeded Mach 3...]"

Getting back in 20 minutes? Maybe even faster. At this rate, if Norton can stall for even a little while, Odin will definitely explode. Norton, a king of bronze and fire, can hold out for ten or twenty minutes even in a doomed situation.

Now that Odin is hesitant and timid, Norton might be able to hold out longer...

The system immediately adjusted its plans to return at a more cost-effective speed.

After all, once the speed increases, the wind resistance becomes too great, and using incantations to quickly drive away the support also requires consuming power.

Adjust your travel strategy and you can also slowly extract the dragon blood from Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross for replenishment.

……

Old Tang looked at the darkness outside with some fear, but a mix of thoughts in his mind gradually made him restless.

It's like when you're putting all your effort into something, something is tangled around your feet, and you can't kick it off no matter what.

You're about to die, why are you still clinging to me? What vampire parasite? If I, the host, die, won't you die too?

"Norton! Are you still going to hide it?"

A sacred and resounding voice rang out from all directions, completely disregarding the soundproofing of the walls.

Old Tang remembered the voice; it was Odin's voice.

“You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not Norton,” he said.

“Constantine is dead, aren’t you angry?”

Constantine is dead?

Old Tang was stunned.

In many accounts of hybrid races, the four thrones are actually held by four dragon kings, as they cannot yet confirm that the thrones are shared by twins. They only know the formidable name of Norton, the Bronze and Fire King, and Constantine… They sometimes suspect these are pseudonyms used by Norton.

However, according to Boss Lu Mingfei, it is true that there are eight dragon kings on the four thrones, although there is no evidence to prove it yet.

The version Old Tang knew from Lu Mingfei was that Norton and Constantine sat together on the throne of the Bronze and Fire King; they were brothers.

If one of the two brothers dies, wouldn't the other be very angry and furious? Or... sad? Lonely?

After all, they are twins who have shared power on the throne for thousands of years, so their trust in each other is absolutely unquestionable.

A woman adorns herself for her lover, and a man dies for his confidant…

Old Tang had no idea what he was thinking.

On one hand, he felt that it was none of his business whether Constantine lived or died. On the other hand, he was also very angry, sad, and heartbroken, and he wanted to avenge Constantine.

Old Tang slapped his forehead and said loudly, "What does Constantine's death have to do with me? You've got the wrong person."

"That's true, I've got the wrong person, but I haven't mistaken the dragon."

Odin can actually speak normally?

Old Tang thought that a high and mighty dragon king wouldn't say such nonsense.

No, what am I thinking? Shouldn't I be trying to find a way to save myself at this critical moment?

Old Tang shook his head and began to look around the room. Hmm, apart from the blueprints and such, there were some small gadgets, but they didn't seem to be of much use in the current situation.

He looked down at his body.
