129: surrender

"Aurora Flash!"

As Isaac silently chanted in his heart, his body instantly transformed into a streak of extreme light, then gathered all his strength and thrust his knight's greatsword directly at Melita.

Even though Melita had instantly cast multiple shields before, they barely had any effect against this terrifying attack.

They shattered in response, and then Isaac's greatsword pierced directly into Melita's legendary ring of protection shield.

The terrifying attack power deformed the legendary ring of protection shield, creating a deep indentation the size of a palm.

Fortunately, Arthur's legendary ring of protection shield was tough enough; in the end, it only dimmed slightly and did not reach its defensive threshold to be broken through.

Although the attack was blocked, the power contained within it could not be offset.

So, after being hit by this immense force, Melita also immediately transformed into a streak of light.

Smashing through countless buildings within the royal palace, kicking up a cloud of dust, she shot off into the distance.

She only stopped a thousand meters away.

This was the Aurora Flash, a rare direct thrust skill among knight Battle Techniques.

Most knight Battle Techniques were of the slashing type, which made the Aurora Flash special.

And the direct thrust skill type made it easier for a knight's strength to converge at one point, which was more conducive to breaking shields, which is why Isaac used the Aurora Flash on Melita.

Seeing that this attack was effective, almost breaking through the shield while also consuming a large amount of Melita's magic shield energy.

Isaac also quickly pursued Melita, who had flown backward.

Melita knew that as a mage, she was countered by Isaac, a knight of the same Rank.

So she had no intention of continuing to fight Isaac. Seeing Isaac pursue her, she quickly flew in one direction.

At the same time, she continuously used various Advanced water magic to obstruct Isaac.

Under Melita's Advanced magic bombardment, another ruin quickly appeared within the royal palace.

However, this situation would soon stop.

Because after a few seconds, Melita finally arrived at a location outside the royal palace.

This place was where Melita and Joao had separated earlier.

When Isaac excitedly pursued, what awaited him was an incredibly sharp attack.

"Water Dragon's Claw Strike!"

Joao, who had transformed into a human, merely turned his right hand into a Dragon claw and fiercely clawed at Isaac's back.

It should be noted that the reaction time of a magic defense shield has its limits, the reason it always gives the impression of being instant.

Is because its reaction limit is quite high, and ordinary people simply cannot reach it.

Magic protective gear of Legendary and lower Ranks have a reaction limit equal to the attack speed of a Legendary Peak Expert.

So, even though Isaac also had magic protective gear that could summon a Legendary-level shield.

The strength of Dragon Joao had subtly surpassed the Legendary Peak by a margin, so before the shield could spontaneously appear, Joao's attack had already landed on Isaac's back.

While making Isaac's body arch backward, his body also slammed fiercely into the ground like a cannonball.

Creating a giant pit over a hundred meters wide on the ground.

Only then did the magic shield on Isaac's body belatedly appear.

If it weren't for the decent quality of Isaac's armor, which helped him absorb at least fifty percent of the attack, Isaac would probably be on his last breath right now.

After all, directly taking a blow from someone stronger than you, merely surviving is already extremely difficult.

Although Isaac wasn't on his last breath, Joao's blow still caused him immense pain.

He felt as if his lumbar spine was about to snap, and at the same time, his internal organs churned, causing him to involuntarily spit out a mouthful of crimson blood, indicating significant internal injuries.

Arthur's future plan was to establish a Human Kingdom, and relying solely on the Mermaid Legend and Dragon Legend would not be enough to maintain order.

Because both were non-human races, it would only cause the humans under their command to continuously choose to resist.

Therefore, Arthur's plan was to capture Isaac alive and use him, a Human Legend, to replicate a Human Legend unique to Arthur.

To serve as the face of the new kingdom, which would be more conducive to governance.

Furthermore, the injuries of a Legendary Expert cannot be quickly healed by ordinary healing magic.

All these factors led Joao to not rush to attack after severely injuring Isaac.

On the other side, although Isaac had received such a heavy blow, he hadn't clearly seen who attacked him. Relying on the Legendary magic shield, Isaac gained some sense of security.

While tearing open several healing magic scrolls, he also fixed his gaze on the figure who had ambushed him earlier.

Being able to hit him before his shield activated, Isaac already vaguely knew that the ambusher's strength was extraordinary!

But when he saw Joao's right arm, much smaller but identical to the Legendary Dragon's claw, his eyes immediately widened.

He then sensed the faint Dragon's might emanating from Joao.

He couldn't help but murmur:

"It's actually a Dragon!"

At this moment, Isaac finally despaired.

Because the entire continent knew that Dragons were invincible among those of the same Rank, he had no chance of winning!

Moreover, with Melita added to the mix, he couldn't imagine how he could still win, or even escape.

In despair, he couldn't help but scan the already quite chaotic royal capital, looking at the foundation his Kate Family had built over hundreds of years.

He pleaded:

"Whether you are after the wealth or land of the Kate Kingdom, I can give it all to you, even my life. My Family, without me, will pose no threat to the two of you. I only ask that you give the Kate Family a way to survive, how about it?"

My Family, without me, will pose no threat to the two of you. I only ask that you give the Kate Family a way to survive, how about it?"

Hearing this, Joao and Melita exchanged glances. They knew that breaking through the Legendary shield around Isaac would take some time.

If Isaac were to use some trump card, such as forbidden curse scroll, it would cause trouble for both of them, and the aftershocks of the attack would likely destroy the royal capital.

It should be known that a prosperous royal capital represents a large sum of wealth and should not be overly damaged.

Therefore, both Melita and Joao decided to first agree to Isaac's terms, and discuss the specifics later.

Although Dragons have a fearsome reputation, due to their pride, as long as it's not related to wealth, they generally fulfill their promises once made.

Understanding this, Joao spoke:

"Good, since you say so, as long as you are willing to surrender and hand over all the royal Family's wealth, I can spare the rest of the people! I swear by the pride of the Dragon!"

I swear by the pride of the Dragon!"

"Thank you both for your generosity!"

Isaac reluctantly believed Joao's words and immediately showed gratitude.

Even if he didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do. If Joao and Melita continued to fight, he could only cause them some trouble, but victory was impossible.

Since that was the case, why not take a gamble!
