Chapter 475: 475 - You could have had a long life
The first of the creatures appeared: a giant wind-horned wolf.
It was barely three meters long, but its power in a pack was something even Lucas couldn’t ignore.
Of course, to Qingyi, it wasn’t much.
They were just insignificant base predators looking for easy prey, the most powerful of them barely reaching the level of a false immortal.
Qingyi jumped out of the carriage, ready to cut down the first ten in front of him.
Unfortunately, he had to stop at the last second.
His feet sank into the muddy ground and an intense heat rose up behind him, rapidly approaching.
It was Lucas’s dragon.
Its huge mouth was open while its master flashed a sadistic smile, orange, burning flames falling onto the ground.
This was no accident; Lucas was aiming at Qingyi.
Qingyi just formed a Qi barrier around himself, realizing that the beasts were already surrounding the carriage.
With a single movement of his eyes, his body disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already above the carriage, exactly ten blades of Qi leaving his body and falling on the wolves.
Groans and growls full of agony echoed as severed paws, tails, and canine heads fell to the ground.
Just ahead, Lucas’s dragon’s flame swallowed more than half of the pack.
"Ugh... better get rid of these damn things first," Qingyi whispered irritably, as his body was swallowed by another spatial fold.
He didn’t truly care about the death of those miners, but if he could defend them without losing anything in return, why wouldn’t he?
The lives of those who were not his enemies were worth more than a minor inconvenience to him.
In a single second, he appeared beside the remaining wolves.
Flying blades cut through flesh with ease, exterminating them as if they were nothing more than ants.
When the last one fell to the ground, Qingyi couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction, lazily cracking his neck.
He had shown more power than he wanted to and, most certainly, than was necessary.
But for him, what mattered most was that he had gotten a good warm-up.
He turned toward the miners, just in time to see, with his guard down, the flames of Lucas’s dragon engulfing them as the beast tore through the air.
"Die, you bastard!" Lucas roared, not caring about the consequences.
They were just a few random commoners.
As long as there were no witnesses, nothing had happened, right?
A smile full of amusement dominated his sadistic face as his dragon landed, unleashing its flames toward Qingyi without stopping.
Neither of them noticed that, during all this, Qingyi was completely still.
His expression was relaxed, and only a thin layer of Qi protected his clothes as he was engulfed by the flames.
"Hm... this is a very pleasant sauna..." Qingyi grunted, an annoyed smile taking over his handsome masculine face.
"Khaedryss, how about an extra hearty meal today?"
"Uh?" Lucas’s eyes widened upon hearing those words.
He barely paid attention to what was said, shocked only by the fact that Qingyi was alive.
By the time he finally had the capacity to realize what was happening, it was already too late.
His dragon turned, taking to the skies with desperate flaps of its wings.
Where its flames fell, a thick veil of white smoke and steam from the muddy ground began to rise, hiding Qingyi within.
"What are you doing? Stay and fight!" Lucas shouted, slapping his dragon’s neck.
He didn’t even notice when the white smoke covering Qingyi parted with a bang, black scales like the night glistening in the sunlight.
A jaw, so large that Lucas’s dragon was barely enough to fill it, opened.
A powerful, armored neck stretched out as endless rows of sharp teeth closed around Lucas and his mount.
Only then did Lucas feel the pain, a pain he had never felt in his entire life.
As he lost feeling in his legs and was thrown away, still clinging to his mount’s head, he understood why his mount was fleeing.
Behind him was a huge beast, one he only recognized from statues and stories of past glory.
The creature’s roar caused extreme terror in the young elf’s eyes.
Khaedryss barely paid attention to Lucas, voraciously devouring his dragon.
When she was finished, she lowered her head, her jaw opening to let out a long, angry growl.
"You know, brat..." Qingyi jumped on top of Khaedryss’s head, watching Lucas.
There was no more arrogance on his face, and his legs had been replaced by nothing but a bloody mess, devoured by the black dragon.
"You could have had a long life, enjoying your family’s countless riches, fucking beautiful whores, and drinking fine wine," Qingyi said.
Khaedryss’s lips parted, revealing sharp teeth, and a strange black light emerged from the depths of her throat.
Lucas despaired, his pants dampening with urine as he screamed and begged.
For the first time in his entire life, he was in mortal danger. Real mortal danger.
Unfortunately for him, Khaedryss did not listen to pleas.
Her flames engulfed everything: clothes, weapons, even the decapitated head of his mount.
Everything was vaporized into nothing but ashes by the flames of the butcher of empires and slayer of immortals.
When she was done, Khaedryss raised her face and then opened her jaws.
Her thunderous roar echoed for countless kilometers, the surrounding forest shaking.
She could taste that air, taste that blood, one she hadn’t tasted in many, many years.
She was back home.
"Good girl..." Qingyi smiled, patting Khaedryss on the neck.
She had more than doubled in size compared to when he first found her, reaching ninety meters in length and weighing close to a hundred tons.
It was even a little comical for Qingyi, so small in comparison to her, to stroke her scales.
Still, she enjoyed it, feeling the warm, affectionate touch of her rider.
"Return to the world of the mind. Soon the time will come for you to bathe in the blood of your enemies and devour Karlan’s heart."
As he spoke those last words, Qingyi noticed a unique excitement take hold of Khaedryss’s face, one that he found strangely amusing.
Apparently, she was also excited about the idea of eating Karlan’s heart.
