"Now?!"
Even though she understood the absurdity of the Platinum King, Andasu couldn't help but cry out softly.
"What is he talking about? How long he can still rule is uncertain, and now he wants new rule?" Dorothy furrowed her brow tightly.
She noticed that Alulu and Zoe weren't paying attention to her.
The two girls had been stunned by the absurd demands of the Platinum King.
"How can this be!"
Zoe jumped directly from her spot, her sword drawn in hand.
At this mont, she was no longer concerned about competing over Li Ang. Faced with such absurd demands from the detestable person, she didn't dare imagine how Andasu felt. All she knew was that just by watching, she was angry enough to want to cut that fat man down with a sword!
As for Alulu, being a Paladin, she couldn't tolerate it either. Without saying a word, she was already on her way down, shield and hamr in hand.
Although Li Ang had told them when to make their move, they wouldn't wait for the bad things to happen before acting.
Dorothy, naturally, wouldn't tolerate such things either, but she was slightly more composed, noting the strange remarks of the Platinum King.
At this mont, she followed them down, quietly summoning the Demon-Born Flower.
Facing the terrified Andasu, the Platinum King let out a couple of smug laughs.
"Didn't you hear?"
Andasu struggled to keep herself from being overwheld by a tsunami of emotions and not to let them show. Her entire body trembled as she slowly walked toward the Platinum King.
One step, two steps—
"What did I just say?" The Platinum King pointed at the young girl's clothing.
It seed that if she didn't respond, he wouldn't let her evade this.
Andasu closed her eyes.
She berated herself for her stupidity.
Born into control and even after becoming sensible, she was still clueless on how to rebel.
How foolish was that?
As long as she didn't resist, her soul would be gradually consud; as long as she harbored na??ve hopes, she would never be free and would inevitably fall into an endless hell of tornt.
She was imnsely grateful, grateful that when she was about to be devoured by fate and beginning to yield, soone had brought her a bubble of air just before she drowned.
This transford into all her current strength.
She took a deep breath. Even if pretending to be near this rotten flesh, she could no longer endure it.
She recollected her experiences from these days, letting the blood of the Yunxiang Race surge according to the Secret Technique. They flowed unimpededly, as if releasing the years of suppressed resentnt in one breath after breaking the Spiritual Curse.
Andasu's body trembled more violently. This wasn't fear or anger but in controlling the erupting power.
Finally, she cald down because the power had now coursed through her limbs and bones.
"King, today I ca here just to tell you that from now on, I will no longer bow and call you lord.
"I did not co here to turn to you.
"I ca here to kill you!"
The young girl's golden eyes shrunk suddenly, engravings of beast eyes appearing abruptly. A spray of Blood Fragrance wafted, sharp and pungent.
The slender foot stomped the ground with force, an unexpected power for her graceful figure erupted. Her arms like a phantom, as she advanced toward the throne, piercing out with an arm, the forefront was already a tightly gripped Poison Blade.
The expression of the Platinum King froze on his face, his eyes filled with fat sinking downwards, seeing the blade that pierced his belly and the surging blood.
Decades of battle instincts prompted him to punch downward, but the White Wolf raised a hand in a sweep. The abruptly encased black power in her palm struck the giant's fleshy fist, instantly deflecting it, the sound of tearing skin and dislocating bones echoing.
After deflecting the Platinum King's hand, Andasu pushed the Poison Blade in deeper, and struck again with Sharp Claw wrapped in Dark Attribute Power, followed by yet another attack.
"Uggh—"
The Platinum King emitted a muted groan of pain, his body falling backward.
"Great King!"
The nearby i Ji and guards rushed towards Andasu. The audience in the Dueling Arena surged and ran like ants; the White Wolf's attack had incited extre chaos.
But the White Wolf was agile, her speed and power exceeding their estimates. She leaped back and flipped to evade their encirclent.
The Blood Fragrance dispersed all around, and the guards noticed their limbs starting to go numb.
"Hahaha!"
The Platinum King suddenly let out a loud laugh, causing everyone around him to slow down in surprise.
He reached out and drew a dagger, pulling open the garnt on his abdon.
At the wound, the poison seeped into the flesh, and the bluish-black marks spread outward.
Anyone, even the strongest high-tier, would inevitably et death if struck in a vital part without any defense, with the poison entering their body.
Why does he laugh at this mont?
"The Yunxiang Race, the Yunxiang Race... This rebellion might be inevitable."
The Platinum King seed unaffected.
"To make you submit, I calculated everything, even standing defenseless before you, letting you draw your blade against . You still could not do it.
"I thought you might lie low, yet you committed such an act.
"But did you think I hadn't anticipated this day?"
Even as the Platinum King edged towards death, growing weaker, the smile on his face widened.
"You are too foolish, White Wolf.
"Had you realized and acted against
sooner, then yes, I, Antorus Sangrus, would indeed have fallen at the hands of you, Andasu Umore.
"I could still have gotten you, but this ti, I won't let you enjoy the affection comfortably; you will only howl in pain, begging
to let you die sooner.
"Now, your howls, the sound of your snapping muscles and breaking bones, will beco the best symphony for my ascension to the new throne!"
The Platinum King's corpulent body rolled off the throne and trembled as he stood up, still covered in layers of bloated decaying flesh once strong.
He turned to the silent red-hooded person beside him and said, "Fulfill the promise now."
The cloaked person nodded, lifted a hand, and an orb of dark red light burst forth instantly.
The red light swept across the audience, startling almost everyone, with so quickly crouching beneath their seats.
However, the light did not form an attack.
Thinking the crisis over, they raised their heads from under the seats.
At this ti, a tremor began at the Flowing Silver Arena.
The violent shaking made it impossible to stand while Reed, who had held his silence, now shouted into the microphone, "What's happening? Has a quake hit Sky Island?"
Zzzz—
His voice was drowned by static as the equipnt malfunctioned amidst the vibrations.
As the tremors intensified, red light appeared on the arena floor, like blood mixed with dark clots, inscribing mysterious symbols upon erging.
The whole venue transford into a giant, complex magic array ford by nurous sub-arrays intertwined.
In the center of the array, after a flash of blood-red light, a gigantic skull of a dragon appeared there.
Beside the Platinum King, the red-robed figure gestured, and endless red lightning surged from the magic array, shooting towards the stands and beyond, towards every living thing.
The red lightning leaped over the high walls of the Flowing Silver Arena, enveloping the comrcial street outside, the ticketless spectators listening in, and all the distant tourists drawn to the commotion, creating a dark red "bird cage" over the arena.
Over seventy percent of the Flashing Field's population fell under the net of the Power of Dragon.
"What is happening?!"
"What is the Platinum King up to? What's that red light?!"
"It's definitely no good! Are we being tricked?!"
As the red-robed figure raised his hand to cast, a large stream of Dragon Blood flowed from the magic array, converging upon the skeletal dragon head at the center, which imdiately began to flesh out, sprouting muscles and scales.
From the back of the skull, blood slowly coagulated into black-red skeletal structures, extending slowly into a lengthening neck bone.
In the stands, the red-robed figure cast a mass of Dragon Blood to envelop the Platinum King.
In Andasu's tremulous gaze, the Platinum King began to transform.
He shed his filthy, foul-slling discarded flesh, replacing it with the powerful sinew and bone of a dragon, the withered body reviving with new vigor.
Massive ox horns wrapped in the dragon's keratin transford into dragon horns.
The heavy, corpulent body grew tall and firm, sending a deep, heavy laugh towards Andasu.
"The originally reserved Dragon Blood wasn't enough to resurrect the Demon Dragon, so they joined forces with local rulers and the Order Corps stationed here, using the grandeur of the festival to trick everyone on the island into participating in a blood sacrifice.
"They went to great lengths. I couldn't bear to let them accomplish nothing even without getting started."
Li Ang shrugged.
Farina, Li Ang, and Mort quickly transferred into the crowd upon teleporting, avoiding standing in the field.
"You're really rotten," Farina grumbled, squeezing Li Ang's shoulder.
"I'll take that as a complint. I'm clearly a good person. Now that I've intervened, they can't harm anyone."
Li Ang spread his hands: "When the guild cos, such a massive disaster thwarted by us must at least be worth a tier seven equipnt."
