97: Lei Ya was executed

Crimson mist surged around the gilded throne, and Cain leaned on the gilded throne, imitating Ye Chen's lazy yet majestic posture.

His pale fingertips lightly tapped the armrest, his gaze half-smiling as he watched the flying Kobold High Priest.

"Speak, Ray Tooth," Cain said, his voice carrying a hint of oppression.

"By what right do you order my army to halt?"

Ray Tooth hovered not far from the Desert Dragon, his dragon wings gently fanning behind him.

He quickly glanced at the seven armored humans standing beside Cain, and his heart sank.

The aura emanating from these seven people was actually comparable to his own.

The original plan to capture the leader first was now completely ruined.

There was nothing he could do, so Ray Tooth could only compose himself and say:

"Your Excellency, this is our Kobold territory, where millions of our people live."

"Decades ago, we broke free from the oppression of the Ogres and completely defeated them. Since then, we will never bow our heads to anyone again!"

"Although your army is strong, we Kobolds will also fight to the death!"

Cain grew a little impatient upon hearing this and waved his hand to interrupt him.

"If it is merely a threat, then there is no need to say more."

Seeing Cain's displeasure, Ray Tooth dared not speak further nonsense. He took a deep breath and said:

"I did not come here seeking battle. I presume Your Excellency has also noticed the difference between me and my other compatriots. This concerns a secret of this world."

These words indeed piqued Cain's interest.

In fact, he had long felt that something was off. This Kobold had an aura similar to that of the Demon Dragon Lord, like the scent of a giant dragon.

And Ray Tooth's subsequent words further confirmed his speculation.

"By chance, I once obtained a Dragon Egg, which activated my bloodline and allowed me to become a Dragon-blooded Kobold."

"And within the mine where the Dragon Egg was found, there is a massive magic circle. If it can be activated, it can connect to the Ancient Dragon Race Secret Realm..."

Naturally, this was something he fabricated; he had no idea what that magic circle was for.

Cain asked playfully:

"Oh? Since you know this secret, why haven't you activated it yourself?"

Ray Tooth put on a helpless expression:

"My Dragon blood is not pure enough; I've tried various methods over the years, but none have worked..."

As he spoke, he retracted his wings and heavily knelt on the ground.

"Your Excellency has many powerful individuals under your command and will surely be able to open the Secret Realm and obtain its treasures. I am willing to offer the Secret Realm, only requesting that Your Excellency spare the land where my Kobolds live."

Cain smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Your suggestion seems quite good... but I have another method that benefits both sides."

Ray Tooth had just shown a hint of joy, but his expression changed upon hearing the second half of the sentence. Still, he braced himself and asked:

"What method?"

"You and your people, along with this world, shall together embrace our Abyss!"

Having said that, Cain did not wait for Ray Tooth's agreement and waved his hand, ordering the seven warriors to deal with him.

Of course, Ray Tooth would not sit idly and wait for death. His dragon wings flapped fiercely behind him, and streaks of lightning shot towards the seven people.

But those seven Sky Knights did not dodge or evade, and they charged forward, their bodies enveloped in Qi.

The lightning pierced through their Qi protection and darted across their armor, but the seven people only paused for a moment before continuing their fierce charge.

The armor on their bodies was indeed magic-resistant armor made from cold iron.

This kind of armor is bidirectional; although it can resist external elemental attacks, it also restricts the wearer's own magical attacks.

However, the seven were originally Knights, so they had no magical attacks. Cold iron does not restrict Qi, so they were naturally unaffected.

When Ray Tooth's lightning struck their armor, the cold iron dispersed most of the damage, and the remaining portion was directly withstood by their powerful bodies, merely paralyzing them for an instant.

Ray Tooth's expression suddenly changed. He hadn't expected his attack to have so little effect.

Daring not to delay further, he quickly spread his wings, wanting to escape.

Coming alone like this didn't seem like an attempt to capture the leader, but rather like deliberately walking into a trap.

Relying on his extremely fast speed and the enhancement of lightning, Ray Tooth escaped into the Royal City before the others could catch up.

The seven, however, had no reservations and unhesitatingly pursued him into the Royal City.

Soon, sounds of fierce battle erupted within the Royal City.

Cain did not wait for the outcome of their battle and directly ordered the siege.

This time, he did not let the Shadow Assassins attack. Cain stood up from the Desert Dragon, took the gilded throne off its back, and then shouted:

"Go, Desert Dragon!"

"Roar—"

The Desert Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, took large strides, its speed increasing rapidly as it charged towards the city gate.

The Demon army also charged forward. As the Desert Dragon got closer, the Kobold defenders on the city wall felt the ground beneath their feet trembling.

They quickly shot arrows, but these attacks were like an itch to the Desert Dragon.

Earthen energy gathered beneath the Desert Dragon's feet, and it stomped fiercely.

"Rumble—"

A violent roar rose from the earth, and the entire city wall trembled violently.

The Kobolds on the city wall could not stand steadily, let alone shoot arrows in retaliation.

Before they could recover, the Desert Dragon had accelerated again and then slammed violently into the city gate.

With this one impact, not only the city wall but the entire Royal City trembled incessantly amidst the roar.

With just one blow, the heavy city gate was directly knocked open by the Desert Dragon.

It then entered the city, bringing with it a sky full of sandstorms.

And the crowd of Demons also streamed in, slaughtering all the Kobolds.

Inside the Royal City, there was a chorus of wails. The Kobold army had no power to resist the Demon army at all.

The Wolf Riders still wanted to charge the city gate and retake it.

But they were directly impaled by the Desert Dragon with an Earth Spike spell, turning them into strings of candied haws.

The remaining Wolf Riders were also quickly annihilated.

Seeing his Royal City already fallen, Ray Tooth's eyes turned red with anxiety.

He roared angrily, his body began to grow wildly, reaching over a dozen meters tall in the blink of an eye.

And his appearance also changed from a strange Kobold to a strange Dragonkin.

"Roar—"

A distorted dragon roar sounded from Ray Tooth's mouth. After transforming, his strength greatly increased.

Opening his blood-red mouth wide, lightning balls flew out, shooting towards the seven great Knights.

Feeling the terrifying power within the lightning balls, the seven no longer resisted head-on and quickly dodged.

If they were to block this with their physical bodies, they would likely be burned to ashes instantly; even the cold iron armor would be useless.

Seeing the enemy's ferocity, the few people no longer hesitated and immediately also activated their transformations.

The armor on their bodies was specially designed by the Dwarves. When their bodies grew larger, the entire armor changed from 'full body armor' to 'half body armor', barely covering their vital points.

The seven quickly launched attacks surrounding Ray Tooth, bombarding him with various skills as they pleased.

Although Ray Tooth transformed into a Dragonkin, he was not a true giant dragon after all, and he was somewhat overwhelmed by the attacks of the few people.

Soon, amidst the siege by the few people, he gradually lost the power to resist.

Finally, a demon spear pierced his throat. Ray Tooth let out a tragic cry and fell to the ground, losing his breath.

Having successfully eliminated the resistance forces of the small world, the Abyss immediately enveloped the entire world, slowly swallowing and absorbing it...
