"What a pitiful bunch, even scared by Land to the point where you can't distinguish between reality and illusion!"

"Hiss~~~"

The enormous nostrils of the Giant Dragon exhaled a gust of hot breath, blowing like a hurricane, causing the faces of the people within dozens of meters ahead to turn crimson and sweat profusely.

"An interesting sideshow, but it's time for it to end here! I know many of you are not local lords, but it doesn't matter, as long as you go back and tell your lords and king to surrender to me completely!

You will all become territories of Black King City!

In the next two months, I want each of you to send over at least eighty percent of your wealth and at least three of your kin or children! Do you understand?"

The resonant voice of the Giant Dragon rang again, pushing everyone into the Abyss, on the cliff's edge.

Many people's complexions turned unsightly; it truly was a case of fearing what would happen!

We are supposed to surrender to the Giant Dragon before us... this...

"Of course, I also very much welcome you to challenge me! That would definitely be very interesting! Wouldn't it, gentlemen? Do you see what that is over there?"

Suddenly, the colossal Giant Dragon in front raised its forelimb, pointing its claw into the distance.

On the coast, a dozen kilometers away, there was a forest.

The forest was quite wide, and the trees were enormous, clearly visible across kilometers.

The entire width of it was over four to five kilometers.

This forest was not small.

Upon seeing it, someone couldn't help but cautiously ask: "Is... is it the seaside forest? Lord Black King, why are you asking about it?"

"No! No! No! There's no forest there at all! Not a single tree!"

The Giant Dragon in front of them shook its head repeatedly, speaking with a peculiar smile.

"Ah!!! Lord Black King! What... what do you mean?"

Someone beside them exclaimed in shock.

"Don't believe me? Then watch carefully!"

The Giant Dragon said, suddenly leaping up, lightly flapping its hundred-meter-long Dragon Wings, creating gusts of wind that blew people back and forth, yellow sand filling the sky!

When they looked up again, they saw the Giant Dragon already hundreds of meters above, opening its mouth.

Countless bright yellow and red sparks danced.

Illuminating hundred meters around the Giant Dragon in a crimson light.

A small Flame Ball appeared before the Giant Dragon, swelling afterward!

"What! What is he trying to do?"

On the ground, someone was panic-stricken, feeling a significant disaster looming, but they could do nothing, only look up in dread.

Until the fireball completely formed, as large as the Giant Dragon's head, and at that moment, the fireball burst with infinite light.

Bathing the surrounding kilometers in red, like entering dusk.

Whoosh!!

The Giant Dragon suddenly shot the fireball, aiming for the forest!

It was like a small independent world, crashing toward the forest!

When the fireball disappeared entirely into the forest.

The terrifying event finally occurred!

A massive fireball appeared! Expanding! Spreading flames and shockwaves!

One giant tree after another devoured entirely, the shockwave sweeping in all directions!

On the coastal ground, a group of people saw the explosion's shockwave, carrying fire, dust, and splinters, rushing wildly toward them!

The wave formed by the shockwave was terrifying to the extreme!

As high as several hundred meters! Seemingly about to swallow everything in front of it!

"Run! Quick, run! Stay here, and you'll lose your life!"

"Oh God! Save me!"

"Help! Help! Don't run so fast! Carry me! Carry me and run together! Someone save me! I'll give you ten Gold Talers! No! Come back! A hundred Gold Talers! Save me!"

The group shouted, ran crazily backward, some falling over due to rushing too fast, even twisting legs and feet.

Yet they did not give up on running! Instead, they used both limbs to keep crawling!

"Heh heh heh heh~ Hahahahaha! This is a real nuclear explosion! Feel this power well! Reverence my power! Hahahaha!"

The Giant Dragon laughed wildly in the sky.

Other dragons gawked at the distant explosion.

Stirred immensely.

This... is this still the power of a dragon? Just one dragon could do such a thing!

This definitely surpassed Ninth Ring Magic! Reached the Godslaying Level Tenth Ring Magic!

The shockwave with immense might got closer and closer to the people and dragons by the sea.

Some kept looking back, seeing the terrifying shockwave over a hundred meters high, letting out desperate screams.

"No! Save me! I don't want to die! Save me!"

They closed their eyes, arms tightly crossed in front, bodies lying on the ground!

The hurricane and shockwave crashed, blowing them backward, rolling.

The terrifying explosion's blast arrived belatedly.

Rumble!!!

Almost tearing their eardrums apart.

They felt immense pain all over.

Like entering Hell, the Abyss.

Not knowing how long had passed, the shockwave dissipated, the explosions stopped!

One slowly opened the eyes, shouting in joy:

"I'm alive! Alive! Great! Great!"

"Really! Alive! Really alive!"

"It must be divine protection! Hahaha! Thank you, gods!"

The group shouted in excitement, tears of emotion streaming from their eyes.

But then, a deep voice quietly resonated like a tolling bell:

"Thank the gods? Are you kidding? If you want to thank, shouldn't you thank me properly?"

"Wha... what?"

These people were shocked into silence, subconsciously realizing they might not be out of danger yet!

The recent terrifying Magic was the handiwork of the Red-eyed Black King!

But, what did he mean by thanking him? Was he mocking them?

Anger filled their hearts as they turned to look ahead.

Suddenly seeing a Giant Dragon with enormous Dragon Wings opened, blocking their path not far ahead.

Did this Evil Dragon actually save them?

What on earth was he trying to do?

They hadn't opened their mouths to ask, the Giant Dragon flew back into the sky.

At this moment, they saw, a dozen kilometers away, where the forest once stood, completely disappeared!

A barren land, replaced by a massive crimson pit.

Countless smoke and dust slowly rose skyward, resembling a mushroom cloud!

The entire surrounding sky across dozens of kilometers was hidden under dust, almost light couldn't be seen.

Tendrils of heat steamed, the whole ground like a giant lava region...

The ground on either side where the Giant Dragon once stood was scraped down by twenty to thirty centimeters, extending backward over kilometers!

"This... this... this..."

The group gawked at the distance, feeling breathless.

Cold sweat trickling down their backs.

What sort of Magic is this? Could it be that Laine Kingdom's disappearance was truly the work of the Red-eyed Black King? And he could do such a thing by just being a dragon?

"Now tell me, what is over there? Where is the forest you spoke of?"

The Giant Dragon King in the sky turned its head and asked.

Its expression was maliciously human-like.

"No, no no no... nothing left..."

One stammered, unable to speak fluently.

"So I said, there's nothing there, right?"

The Giant Dragon repeated, and everyone fell silent, not daring to speak, clutching their chests, attempting to calm themselves down.

"Heh heh heh! Hahahahaha!

Obey me and live! Defy me and die!

Now, let me repeat, go back and tell your lords and king!

Surrender within two months, send everything that should be sent! Otherwise, your territories will end up like this! Completely annihilated! Understood?"

The Giant Dragon laughed maniacally, its crimson eyes scanning over the people repeatedly.

The malice was almost tangible!

This moment was the darkest in everyone's life! They faced the ultimate evil supposed to exist only in legends and tales!

But reality offered no hero like in tale legends to save them!
