Gryreo's cries rang out from within the flames of the explosion, a mixture of anger and helplessness. The Blazing Dragon didn't continue its pursuit. Gryreo's miserable cries reminded Twilight of something. Before becoming a monarch, she was just a Flame Knight. Every day, all she had to do was obey the lord's orders, patrol the borders of the territory with her colleagues, and expel foreign creatures. In these repetitive missions day after day, she would sometimes kill some low-level creatures. If they encountered a middle or high-level lifeform that was difficult to deal with, they would be injured. Once, she almost died. That changed Twilight's life.
As a Flame Knight, Twilight didn't have much intelligence. She could only understand the lord's orders and faithfully carry out the lord's tasks like the other combat units. After being rescued from the brink of death, she was exiled because her injuries were too severe and her combat strength dropped. The lord wouldn't take in a combat unit that had no value. Exiling her was already quite merciful. In Twilight's memories, she had seen too many combat units that had lost their value get disposed of afterwards.
The so-called disposal was to destroy them, return them to their origin, and be reborn in their birthplace.
Fortunately, Twilight didn't get destroyed and left the territory, beginning her aimless wanderings.
A roar rang out.
Gryreo's voice brought Twilight's attention back to the present. Inside the Blazing Dragon, she "saw" Gryreo's octopus tentacles rapidly regenerate. This was nothing to a monarch. Regenerating limbs only consumed Origin Energy. The difference was whether it was fast or slow. Ordinary monarchs would need at least several days to regenerate limbs, while high-ranking monarchs would only need a few hours. As for giants like Gryreo, even if he was already at the end of his strength, his regeneration speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, the tentacles and a small portion of his body that had been severed by Twilight's beam of light had already regenerated. That part of his body had a pale skin color. Then, the octopus slapped his tentacles vigorously. When the tentacles hit the ground, the recoil caused Gryreo to float into the air.
The octopus's tentacles slapped continuously, slapping the air as if it were solid ground. Unexpectedly, it climbed higher and higher like a ladder. As Gryreo's body rose higher and higher, his aura also grew stronger. Twilight felt as if she were to close her eyes and see a raging sea. In the raging sea, Gurelio floated up and down. His tentacles danced about, his imposing manner like a rainbow.
If they were in Gurelio's territory, they would probably be able to see such a moving scene. A huge sea monster floated in the sea of lava. As it waved its tentacles, the raging sea surged and the sky changed color.
Unfortunately, Gurelio was currently standing on the ground. Although he was using his aura to support himself, he still gave off the feeling that he was just bluffing. Twilight knew that Gryreo was at his limit and that this was his final attack.
But he was also the strongest.
The flames on the Blazing Dragon's body no longer danced wildly like before. When the flames descended, they solidified. The dragon's entire body was emitting a fiery glow, and every scale on its body was clearly visible. Within these scales, there was a thin stream of fire flowing.
Gryreo was very likely to raise his momentum to the limit, but Twilight did the opposite. She restrained her momentum and condensed her Origin Energy, preparing to receive the final blow of the raging sea.
The giant octopus suddenly took a deep breath in midair. Following this action, its body began to swell. It inhaled continuously like a balloon, and its body gradually swelled up. Flames penetrated through its body, as if there was a sun hidden inside.
The temperature of the space rose sharply, and cracks appeared on the ground. They crisscrossed, like hungry and thirsty mouths opening wide towards the sky. However, what came was not sweet dew, but a scarlet pillar of light spat out from Gryreo's mouth. The giant octopus inhaled to its limit and used up all of its breath, turning inhalation into exhalation. All of the Origin Energy in its body transformed into flames and shot down, blasting straight towards the Blazing Dragon. The outer wall of this pillar of light was scarlet red, but the core was a pitch-black line. Its speed wasn't fast, but when it landed, it made people mistakenly think that the sky had collapsed.
That was because the Origin Energy in the nearby space had been sucked clean by Gryreo. If Twilight hadn't tried her best to restrain her Origin Energy Qi, her strength would probably have been sucked away by Gryreo. At this moment, the pillar of light descended, creating the illusion of space collapsing. The space didn't change, but the Origin Energy was almost exhausted. The pillar of light slowly descended, like the light of judgment in the end of the world. The Blazing Dragon raised its head. Within the dragon, Twilight drew her sword from her waist and pointed it at Gryreo. "I'm the one who survived to the end!"
"I'm the one who survived to the end."
After being exiled by the lord, Twilight headed east. She only chose a random direction to leave in, and the reason why she chose the east was because the sky in the east looked brighter. The bright sky always made people feel that there was still hope, so she headed east.
Without the Blazing Flame Colt, she, who was still a Knight, walked for an entire week. She passed through the valley, passed through a tunnel, and finally arrived at an endless plain. Most importantly, this was an ownerless land. There were no lords here, and low-level combat units divided up large and small territories here. Twilight, who was still unaware of this place, accidentally walked into the territory of the Fire Horned Demon, and she was attacked by three hundred Fire Horned Demons.
Even though his combat strength was much lower than before, the Blazing Flame Knight was still a mid-level combat unit. Twilight relied on a sword to kill thirty or so Fire Horned Demons. A strong horned demon, the Fire Horned Demon King with a head full of coiled horns, fought a life-and-death duel with her. When Twilight was on the verge of death again, she was lucky enough to cut off the head of the Strong Horned Demon. For some reason, she said what she had just said.
This was the first thing she had said since she had consciousness, and she could understand the meaning of living.
After that, the remaining Fire Horned Demons became her subordinates. After she recovered from her injuries, she swept through the surrounding two territories and used the Origin Energy and Heart Core of powerful creatures to heal her injuries. It took Twilight more than a month to recover her combat strength, and she was stronger than before. Coupled with her current power, it was much better than serving under the banner of her former leader. However, the good times didn\'t last long. Soon, a Flame Knight in this ownerless land stared at her.
The leader of the Flame Knight, the Exploding Flame Knight King, declared war on her and asked her to submit. When she faced the terrifying Knight leader, who was more than two meters tall and covered in heavy armor, spitting out flames from the cracks in the armor, Twilight said, "I\'m the one who survived to the end."
At this moment, looking straight at Gurreo, Twilight felt as if she had returned to the moment she faced the Knight King in front of the pillar of fire spat out by the giant octopus. However, she was now thousands of times stronger than before, but so was her opponent. That was no longer a high-grade Exploding Flame Knight King, but the might of the raging sea that was only below the Son of Dusk.
Then, the dragon spat out a pillar of fire from its mouth and heavily collided with Gurreo\'s final attack.
The moment of collision, the entire earth rumbled and the ground split open. With the center of the collision as the starting point, cracks extended left and right, instantly drawing a thousand-kilometer chasm on the scarlet ground. Flames flickered in the ravine, and in the next second, a curtain of fire soared into the sky, almost splitting the world in two.
Twilight gripped the hilt of her sword tightly with both hands and pointed forward. She first let out a low chant, then turned into a clear roar, and finally turned into an extremely penetrating dragon roar! She was roaring, as if she wanted to vent all the deep emotions in her heart. She remembered that day, when the Blazing Knight King finally fell under her sword, she heard the high-tier lifeform that was already on its way to becoming a Monarch say, "Even if you destroy me and absorb me, I will not let you go. Even if you become a monarch, you still won\'t be able to escape this cycle. You\'re still young, but given time, you\'ll understand how pitiful it is for us to live in this world. "
Indeed, Twilight didn\'t understand the meaning of the Knight King at the time. Her instincts were still above her consciousness, so she only remembered these words. She then destroyed the Knight King, seized his heart core, and became the leader of the Blazing Knight King.
Three years later, Twilight officially became a monarch. Even if she was just a lesser monarch, even if her territory and army couldn\'t compare to other monarchs, she was still a monarch. However, a Sovereign King was a Sovereign King. After becoming a Sovereign King, she finally gained wisdom. Like a chick breaking out of its shell, Twilight could look at Eboynes from a new perspective.
At the start, she was more interested in sweeping up the surrounding combat units, absorbing the power of the strongest among them, taking over their armies, and expanding her territory. Only when the entire land was in her hands did she begin to ponder the meaning of her life.
Afterward, she came into contact with the monarchs of the surrounding territories. Some of them were kinder and were willing to share the touching experiences of their long lives with her. Others were ruthless. Twilight didn\'t receive kindness from them, but war instead. Twilight would then destroy them, and the territory would expand unknowingly.
With intelligence and a long period of time, Twilight began to understand what kind of world Eboynes was. What kind of cycle did their monarchs and the lives within them go through? One day, she suddenly recalled the words of the Knight King. From what the Knight King had said, he was about to become a monarch. Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have said such words full of wisdom. Unfortunately, his luck was a bit bad. However, the words he left behind made Twilight hesitate.
Twilight\'s intelligence told her that everything she had now was nothing more than an illusion. Once she died, she would return to her origin and start all over again. After gaining intelligence, Twilight began to fear one thing: loss.
Moreover, she hoped for one thing: freedom.
Freedom from Eboynes!
