Chapter 31

1

Elena? I know I'm dreaming, dreaming of Elena from ten years ago, a small figure. In the dream, I just stare motionlessly, as if just looking is enough to satisfy me.

One dream after another, I don't know how many dreams I have to go through before I wake up.

"Hmm?" My left hand is still a dragon hand, though wrapped in bandages, I can still feel it.

After removing the bandages, black dragon scales are revealed. I remember that the dragon scales on the dragon hand and the bone saw at the joints weren't black back then, maybe it's because it's Demon Dragon now.

I close my eyes and carefully feel the flow of magic through my left hand. The entire magic circuit is different, having a similar effect to a dragon bone greatsword, although the effect is less than fifty percent.

After synchronizing with the body's magic circuit, my left hand can return to normal.

"It's better this way." I say to my left hand, which is now easily controllable.

"Oh..." I cover my chest, which is completely covered in bandages. It seems that the magic healing speed is too slow, so I can only use gauze.

At first, I simply thought the metal created by Elena was simple, but the additional effects are causing me headaches. The Five Style Contract can have a 100% potential, Elena's potential is off the charts, but she is not under my control nor does she remember me. It's so annoying to think about it.

The cold room temperature around me makes me pay attention to this room, a room that hasn't been entered in a very long time. A green bamboo cottage built on an iceberg, contrasting with the iceberg but appearing very lively.

"Why didn't Grandpa notice me when he woke up for so long?"

"Gran... Grandpa!" Suddenly a voice interrupts, with a strange title, and startles me.

"Oh, Grandpa didn't even greet me when he saw me that day, it really makes me unhappy."

I turn around to see a head of snow-white hair, a snow queen all over, with an unhappy expression that seems like she could burst into tears at any moment.

"Ah, it's Xiao Yueqi. Hahaha~~~"

"Hmm, but Grandpa still didn't notice me, is he thinking about another little sister!" Yueqi picks up my head and mischievously reveals the truth.

"Ouch... My... My chest..." Her chest is so soft and has her grandmother's style.

"Per...vert, this is your granddaughter."

"Bai, the relationship between a grandfather and granddaughter is only emotional memories-wise, blood relations have almost no connection."

"Have some morals!"

"How dare you say that to me, is your collection not extensive?"

"I don't care, the whole world knows you're the Demon Dragon, if you touch her, I'll try to seize control of the body. I have principles!"

"Heh heh, aren't you afraid of accidentally switching bodies?"

Such a thing won't happen again, I'm very rational."

"Rational? We demons are emotional creatures. If you want to argue, bring out the dragon bone sword and see if Reisgolo is emotional or rational! The gods are so full of rules and regulations."

"Get lost, every day is limited, if you waste it, you're doomed."

"Joking aside, apart from Marutian, who can take my life now?"

"I'm not so sure, do you remember that three-headed dragon? If the dragon clan breaks away from our control, then things will be interesting."

"If it can transform into a human, then I might consider it a threat."

"Grandpa, did you faint?"

I shake my head and say, "I wasn't knocked out by you shaking, but you almost suffocated me. Xiao Yueqi has grown up too."

"Someone is already old, so of course I have to grow up."

"Someone? Ah, Coyalu."

"Every time we meet, we have to fight, without exception. But he will always grow old, and I will definitely win."

"You're so smug, just like your father."

"No, I'm even smugger than him."

It's unbelievable. Do these two father and daughter really like challenging their own dad so much?

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."

"Why, doesn't even Grandpa believe in me?"

"Your dad, I guess, must have turned back the clock."

"......" Xiaoyueqi's face became dark.

"There's nothing we can do. Your dad has changed and made progress!"

I touched my nose and stared at Xiaoyueqi. Besides her chest, she looked quite like her grandmother with her face and butt.

"You and your daughter don't know what the point is of fighting after more than ten million years."

"It seems like Grandpa has been fighting with him for billions of years."

"We've made up, so you two might as well make up as well."

"Um...." I don't know if she really understood my response.

"Yawn... Why does it feel so cold behind me?" It felt like there were a pair of icy cold eyes behind me, even colder than this iceberg.

"Oh, the master has been hiding behind all along."

Why is Nofice's tone still so cold? Hasn't the contract broken yet? Something doesn't seem right. Why did those cold eyes become plural?

I reluctantly raised my head from Xiaoyueqi's chest.

"Hi, everyone's here..."

Snowflakes danced before my eyes as Xiaoyueqi asked, "How did you get in?"

"Snow Maiden, no matter how powerful your magic array is, it's ineffective against Nofice." Lilith said, her nose in the air.

"Snow Queen, we have no ill intentions. We just think it's reasonable for the Demon Dragon Majesty not to be locked up like this. As your fiancées, we did what we had to do." Nana explained very politely to Yueqi, but I wondered if there was a need to be so polite. Yueqi wasn't some ferocious beast.

Suddenly, Xiaoyueqi stood up respectfully, with her fist against her chest, and bowed slightly. The demon clan didn't have much courtesy, but she voluntarily showed respect to those she respected. "So it's the young mistresses. I am Xiaoyueqi."

"Grandmother?" For Lilith, who was only sixteen years old, this title instantly made her feel tens of thousands of years older. It was as if she heard her fragile heart shattering.

I squeezed Lilith's face and said, "Heh, she is Coyalu's daughter."

"Huh? Can little Gugu really give birth to such a beautiful daughter? His wife must have powerful genes."

"Not looking similar doesn't mean they don't have the same temper. Her and Coyalu's temper is exactly the same, so impetuous."

"Grandpa~" Yueqi looked very shy.

"Lilith became a grandmother at such a young age, you must be ecstatic." Perra casually walked in through the main entrance.

"Why is there suddenly another person coming in out of nowhere!" Yueqi felt helpless with these two people who completely ignored her barrier.

Perra also felt helpless. "In our shared memories, this barrier is recorded."

"Cain and Coyalu are half-brothers, right?"

"A vampire?" Yueqi raised her right hand, and snowflakes shaped like plum blossom darts followed suit. Perra stared fixedly at the snowflakes in front of her with her crimson eyes, but the snowflakes melted instantly.

"Stop it." I stopped Yueqi from further attacking and said, "Send a message for me. From today, the old decree banning Cain's descendants from entering The Demon Realm is lifted. The reason is that they no longer need blood as the essence of life."

"Ah? Grandpa..."

"You don't have any grudges between you, why do you care so much? Don't act cute!"

I walked to a corner in the north, picked up a small teacup, and said, "The barrier in this room is too old, maybe it doesn't need a barrier anymore."

"Grandma's room hasn't been touched for 15 million years, except for cleaning."

"After removing the barrier, it can be used again. She is now part of this crimson sky."

The nine Demon Kings of the Small Bamboo House and the Marshal of the Fallen Angel Legion have all arrived. The Demon Kings are whispering to each other. originally, when Maru entered the Demon Realm, all the Demon Kings were attracted by the power of the Divine Realm.

"Your Majesty, the Demon Dragon!"

"We are still missing one of the ten Demon Kings."

"Hmph, if Forest Lord doesn't come, don't wait for him. Anyway, he always ruins the atmosphere. It's better if he doesn't come."

"But as the King of Spirits, Ji, who is also a Demon King, shouldn't have a narrow mind!"

"Flame King! Why do you always bring five followers with you? Is it to show that you have many men?"

"You can also bring followers if you don't like it, oh~ but you have too few people, not enough!"

"Shut up, you two youngsters!" Pluto scolded them sternly.

"...." The Flame King and the King of Spirits shut their mouths as expected, not paying attention to the two women.

The usually quiet Thunder King spoke, "He should have been the first to arrive."

Two sharp ice blocks fell from the sky, and the iceberg instantly moved, as if the right hand of an ice giant was reaching out from the mountain. The pitch-black sword energy cut straight through the mountain, breaking off the giant palm made of ice. My God Devourer can easily fit in my hand now.

"Oh! Long time no see," a person with my sword tip against his chest said.

"Oh! I just saw you yesterday, Forest Lord."

"Yesterday and today are 18 years apart, can you stop messing around... father."

The nine Demon Kings scratched their heads at the same time. What is going on here?

"Forest Lord, you..."

"Pluto, I'm so happy to see you again, hahaha!" I gave him a big hug, leaving Pluto stunned. He wondered if this guy's head was chopped off by the sword energy. Not only did his appearance become younger, but his character also became inexplicably enthusiastic. But thinking about it carefully, when Pluto first met Forest Lord, he hugged him like this. At that time, they were still children, and Cain had not been exiled yet.

"Alright, alright, I can't handle shaking anymore. Let's forget about the grudge between you and Demon Dragon. Your magic power exceeds mine now that you have broken through the bottleneck and reversed aging!"

"I'm surprised that Pluto admits he's old! Let's make room for happiness that day!"

"My children still aren't qualified to be Demon Kings." Pluto glanced at Nana and Lilith behind me and smiled.

"Okay, you two can chat later. Coyalu, retract your magic. Yuewang has been supporting this mountain for a long time, so let him rest."

"Uncle Yuewang always does things like this. It's really interesting," Lilith quietly whispered to her sister from behind.

"Click." I inserted the sword into the ice, and with magic power, I created an ice dragon chair behind me and sat down.

"I called you all here to say one thing—prepare for battle!"

"Preparations? Against whom?"

"Yes, the enemy is still The Divine Realm."

"But we have been unable to defeat The Divine Realm in the past. Attacking them again would be risky!"

"Pluto has experienced the great war between gods and demons, and knows that direct attacks are futile. It is easy for the demons to go mad once they enter The Divine Realm. Unless they no longer have hatred towards the gods, which is unlikely, they will attack with vengeance. That's why I may set the battlefield in The Human Realm. I am not asking you to mobilize immediately, just to be prepared. In fact, I haven't decided when or if we will launch an attack. It also depends on the actions of The Divine Realm."

"Your Majesty, you are different from before," said Pluto.

"Is that so?"

"In the past, you were not as concerned about The Divine Realm. But now you seem indecisive. We eleven are ready to follow your orders without question."

"I know you don't oppose me, you are just worried that another thousand or so years of fighting would be a waste of time. And I don't want that either. I am thinking about how to achieve a decisive victory. I have come up with a plan, and you can execute it immediately." I stood up and went back into the bamboo house.

"Your Majesty, why this sudden change? Before, you told us to maintain the status quo," the demon kings immediately began discussing.

"Father, the target of the attack may not be the gods this time. With the opening of the Divine Gate, many gods, humans, and demons have merged together. It is unnecessary to restore the previous order. What you fear is the so-called 'Holy Dragon' who freely travels between The Divine Realm and The Demon Realm. He has threatened to destroy the three realms and reconstruct the world. Can you imagine a world where even the gods and humans, including us, will cease to exist?"

"The Holy Dragon would do such a thing?" Wind King was puzzled. The Holy Dragon was known for his love for the world and his desire to protect its stability and harmony. Such a threat to destroy the world was contrary to the legend.

"That person is not the Holy Dragon, the true Holy Dragon is here." Forest Lord pointed with his rejuvenated young hand towards the bamboo house.

"What do you mean?"

"The Twin Dragons have merged into one, so Father is hesitant to attack The Divine Realm. For him now, both The Divine Realm and The Demon Realm need protection. There are also people in The Divine Realm that Father wants to protect."

"No wonder there was a manifestation of light magic at the Yu River. I finally understand," Kelok adjusted his black Fallen Angel wings and realized why.

"Also, I would like to ask if there is anyone among you who still opposes Father. Let's settle it here and now!"

"Don't joke around. It has always been only you who disagreed!"

"That's right, before I became Wind King, I heard about your challenge against the Demon Dragon, Forest Lord."

"Hahaha... You, Forest Lord, are the most rebellious. Now you're asking us? It's really funny."

It was rare to see the ten demon kings laughing like this before. Forest Lord's enthusiasm seemed to unknowingly influence everyone. That's right, that's how the demon tribe is. Despite not always getting along, when the mood strikes, they can laugh together.
