Shye clenched his fists tightly once more.
He tried.
With a deep sigh of regret, he decided to store nas' corpse in a corpse container.
This way, although the elder fire dragon's peerless resolve would be lost forever, a fragnt of his might could still live on through Nookie.
But to Shye's surprise, he found himself unable to store the corpse.
His brows furrowed deeply as confusion and unease settled over him.
The next mont, he suddenly felt like he was being incinerated to ashes, prompting him to swiftly activate a spatial repositioning skill and appear a few ters away.
Only then did Shye notice the colossal vermillion magic circle hovering in the sky directly above nas' corpse.
Before he could even understand what happened, a mix of vermillion and purple-colored fla descended from the heavens as though a fiery waterfall, devouring nas' corpse.
Shye repositioned himself farther as he watched the roaring flas, still feeling the unbearable heat from his previous position.
The grieving wind dragons also watched, their sorrow montarily replaced by curiosity and confusion over what was unfolding.
It was only after three whole minutes before the flas began to disperse.
Shye's head suddenly throbbed in agonizing pain as a long-lost connection flared back to life, blazing and violent.
He forced himself to continue watching.
Soon, a thirty-seven-ter-tall hulking draconian silhouette erged from the flas, confusing the wind dragons even more.
Zephyrus was only around thirty ters tall, and he did not have such a horrifying muscular fra.
The departed emperor's neck had certainly not been this thick.
Shye, however, was ecstatic despite currently suffering from a sudden splitting headache.
He wasn't confused, especially since there was a confirmation from within him.
nas was alive!
Furthermore, from the look of things, it seed that the heavens had finally acknowledged and crowned him in his final monts.
The next mont explained to the wind dragons everything they needed to know.
A horrifying roar—far louder than Zephyrus' and the elder dragon version of nas combined—ripped through the air, summoning a miniature firestorm that swept across the Windswept Plains and ignited a wildfire.
At that mont, the elder wind dragons finally realized what happened.
A new emperor of flas has risen!
They then rembered nas' vow to eliminate every single one of them, striking fear in the hearts of the three remaining elders.
Soon, they bolted towards different directions, hoping to disappear to the horizons they'd chosen before the new Fire Dragon Emperor nas gave chase.
The injured wind dragons soon realized what was happening as they watched the elders of their now-destroyed flight flee.
They, too, were in trouble.
Like bandits, they scrambled, flapping their wings with all their might, desperate to avoid becoming re torn pieces of flesh.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MASTER, I'VE DONE IT!! WHO KNEW THE HEAVENS WOULD FINALLY NOTICE?!" nas exclaid, his loud, fiery voice causing the clumsily escaping wind dragons to montarily flinch in fear.
Upon hearing nas' words, Shye smiled.
Such words would be impossible to hear from another dragon emperor.
At that mont, he couldn't help but wonder if it had been wise to pursue the first thod—convincing another dragon emperor to lead his army, with their pact valid only verbally.
'Well, no need to stress out thinking about matters that didn't happen, is there?' he thought inwardly before replying to his tad dragon emperor:
"Hahahaha, I thought you would croak before that Wind Dragon Emperor. I'm glad you won. Well then, do what you have to and co back here once you're done."
"HAHAHAHAHA! Master truly understands ! Wait here, I'll tear the remnants of this wind dragon clan to shreds!" nas laughed again, his eyes flashing with a ruthless glint.
He had been a ruthless killer in the past, and he wasn't about to stop, especially now that he had finally beco a mighty Fire Dragon Emperor, his potential and skill ceiling skyrocketing.
nas then sprang into action and gave chase.
With a single, mighty flap of his vermillion wings—a shade deeper—the recently risen Fire Dragon Emperor was delighted to discover that his aerial movent speed more than doubled.
To the wind dragons, however, watching nas blast through the skies faster than even their Lord Zephyrus was nothing short of a nightmare.
The flaming emperor prioritized the elder dragons, whom he personally knew and hated.
Unfortunately for a fleeing mature wind dragon, she was in nas' aerial path, making her the first target of his newfound power.
Struggling to control the strength of his now-larger wings, the Fire Dragon Emperor miscalculated the distance.
As a result, nas couldn't even swing his arms, colliding violently with the female wind dragon.
It was a comical sight—an actual adult dragon falling to her death from a re accidental bump.
'Well, shit. I shall take that.' the flabbergasted emperor thought, continuing his pursuit the next mont.
Despite his eagerness to eliminate the remnants of Zephyrus' rule, the dragons smartly dispersed in different directions.
As a result, nas only managed to kill two of the elder dragons and four mature wind dragons—including the female one he had accidentally killed.
Nonetheless, the new emperor was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was he far stronger and tougher than before, but his mana pool had also grown significantly, making his fireballs and fla tornadoes nearly twice as large as they had been.
The only regret nas had was that he couldn't test the limits of his power, as even the elder wind dragons were too weak for him.
He would need to face other emperors to truly gauge his improved combat prowess.
A few monts later, nas returned, both satisfied and slightly disappointed at the sa ti.
He wanted to kill them all.
However, in deference to the heavens and his master's magnanimity, he would show rcy this once and allow them to live.
He could hunt them down, but he chose not to keep his master waiting any longer.
"Are you done?" Shye asked loudly upon noticing the return of his tad emperor. "If so, let's strengthen your army. Hahaha, I wonder what Tarintus would say if he saw you now."
"Hmph, that spineless elder thunder dragon. As the superior being, I shall no longer bicker with him. After all, he's forever destined to be beneath . It's better to patch up relations and make him willingly obey." nas replied, showcasing the newfound wisdom of his emperor status.
Despite looking extrely fierce and aggressive, the Fire Dragon Emperor appeared far wiser than his borderline dumb elder dragon version.
