A thick black fog was released from the Legendary Shield and enveloped Iwatani Shangwen completely.
Then, amidst a series of deep dim lights, the thick fog gathered and gradually condensed into the appearance of a huge dragon.
Its body was completely black, with a pair of wings on its back and a horn on its head. Its body was over 20 meters long, and its whole body was emitting a strong dark aura.
Just looking at it was enough to make people lose control of their emotions. It was as if the black fog could destroy a person's spiritual defense and affect the soul of a sentient being.
Of course, it was the Dragon Emperor.
She had been hiding in Iwatani Shangwen's shield for a few days, and only now was she exposed. She then used her full strength and absorbed Iwatani Shangwen into her body.
On her chest, there was a small purple crystal embedded there. It was the Dragon Emperor's Crystal Fragment that she put on the Flying Dragon.
If Iwatani Shangwen was still conscious, he should be able to tell that this crystal was actually something that he dropped a few days ago when he defeated a strange demon. Then, he put it into the shield.
He thought that it was some kind of demon material and wanted to use this crystal to unlock a new form, so he put it into the Legendary Shield in an attempt to let it absorb it.
However, even he himself probably didn't expect that this unintentional action would bring him a calamity.
Unfortunately, after being absorbed by the Mystic Dragon, Iwatani Shangwen had completely lost his consciousness. Even the power of the Legendary Shield was secretly controlled by the Mystic Dragon.
"You really didn't stop me?"
The Mystic Dragon lowered its head and opened its mouth. Its black eyes looked at Ryuga with surprise, "Should I say that you're brave because you're skilled, or that you're overestimating yourself?"
The demonic dragon's attitude towards Liu Xia was no longer as fearful as it had been a few days ago. It even looked down on Liu Xia with an arrogant look, its eyes full of arrogance.
"Think what you want, I don't care."
Liu Xia raised the Legendary Bow in his left hand. Then, a huge purple crystal half the size of a human emerged from the jade and was held in his hand.
"Do you still need this crystal?"
Ryuga raised her head and asked the Mystic Dragon, "There are more of your souls in here. If I give this to you, your strength should be able to improve further, right?"
"… Thou art truly arrogant enough. Your arrogance is even close to mine."
The Mystic Dragon was silent for a while, but there was a look of appreciation in his eyes, "I have already recovered to this extent. Although I won't die if I lose this crystal, it is true that if I can retrieve this crystal, my power will become more complete, and I will be closer to my peak."
As the Dragon Empress, she was undoubtedly extremely arrogant.
Although she was arrogant, she was not a fool. She knew how to adapt to circumstances.
After being killed by the Four Saints, she had divided her soul and power into many parts and scattered them out, forming many Dragon Emperor Crystals in the surrounding Otherworlds, hoping to be resurrected in the future.
So, in reality, even if this crystal was destroyed by Ryuga, she could still be resurrected through other crystals. However, not every crystal had the possibility of being resurrected, so she treasured this opportunity very much.
When she first woke up, she was still very weak. She knew that she was not Ryuga's opponent, so she obediently placed the crystal in Ryuga's Legendary Bow and used most of her soul as a hostage. She even agreed to his rude request.
At that time, if the crystal in Ryuga's hand shattered, she would die immediately. If she wanted to be resurrected, she could only rely on other Dragon Emperor Crystals.
But that was all in the past. After forcefully absorbing the Sword Hero Tian Mu Lian's gluttony, the Spear Hero Kitamura Motoyasu's lust, and even Iwatani Shangwen's anger, her strength had grown to a level close to when she was alive.
At this level, she no longer needed to care about the crystal in Ryuga's hand. Even if the crystal shattered, she would be able to survive unscathed after absorbing a large amount of negative emotions.
But now, Ryuga took out the crystal again and looked like he was going to return it to her.
Although she no longer needed to care about the crystal, if she could take it back, her soul would become more complete, and her strength would indeed be closer to when she was alive.
"Thou really intend to return it to me?"
The Mystic Dragon looked at Ryuga suspiciously. His eyes were filled with caution. "Thou didn't do anything to my crystal, did thou? What is thy purpose? "
"With your attainment in the soul, I can't hide my little trick from you."
Ryuga said calmly. "My purpose is very simple. There's no harm in telling you … You said before that in the world of dragons, strength is everything. Then, if I can defeat you at your peak, you should be willing to submit to me, right?"
The Mystic Dragon himself was very powerful. When he was at his peak, his strength was no weaker than Fittoria.
Compared to Fittoria, he also had the ability to absorb negative emotions. He could constantly strengthen himself. The upper limit of his strength might be higher than Fittoria's.
Not only that … If, just if, her ability to control negative emotions could be used by him, then wouldn't the awakening of the Berserker rank be traceable?
"… Hahahahaha! Thou really dared to say that! "
Hearing this, the Mystic Dragon was silent for a moment. Then, he revealed a fierce look and laughed angrily. "Fine! I will make this contract with you! But on the other hand, if I win, I will absorb all of thy power. I will also hang thy head high above the Mystic Dragon City to show my glory as the Dragon Emperor! "
"Okay, then it's a deal."
Ryuga's eyes flashed with a gem-like luster in an instant. Then, she nodded calmly and agreed.
Then, the Dragon Emperor's crystal that was half the height of a human floated up and gradually fell to the center of the Mystic Dragon's chest. It merged with the small purple crystal and disappeared under her body.
"No matter what, I still have to thank thee for returning the crystal. Since that's the case, as a reward, thou shall accept the glory that I bestow upon thee!"
The Mystic Dragon directly opened its huge mouth and roared in Ryuga's ears. "Take this! My Purgatory Flame! Solar Prominence Nova –!!! "
As soon as the voice fell, a pitch-black flame condensed from the Mystic Dragon's mouth. It looked like she was carrying a black sun on her back. Then, she spat it out with great force.
High temperature.
Rapid high temperature.
The power of the flame was far more terrifying than Magic Release – Flame.
Just like this, in the form of a dragon's breath, it seemed to want to melt Ryuga into nothingness.
