Chapter 156: This human must pay for his actions!
The three Dragon Kings had never felt such a terrifying sense of oppression before. A chill ran through their hearts as they desperately tried to muster all their strength, their massive dragon bodies thrashing in a futile attempt to resist.
But the force behind that mountain-like punch was overwhelming, leaving them utterly powerless to fight back.
"Boom!"
With a single punch, the three Dragon Kings were sent flying, their massive bodies crashing through the air. The impact was so powerful that it flattened several of the grand halls of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.
"Timothy, how dare you!"
Before the Frost Dragon King could even finish his roar, a golden foot descended from the sky, covering everything in its path.
The three Dragon Kings, lying in a massive crater, were almost crushed flat by that single stomp. Their dragon bodies were shattered and bleeding, barely clinging to life.
Two of the Dragon Kings were already on the brink of death, completely silent.
Even the strongest of them, the Frost Dragon King, was consumed by unbearable pain. His blood-red eyes locked onto Timothy, filled with hatred. But his body was too weak, too wracked with pain to even stand.
"Three Dragon Kings, defeated by Timothy alone!"
At that moment, the entire Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon fell into a deathly silence.
Just a second ago, Timothy had been at the Mystic Core level. But in the blink of an eye, he not only ascended to the Ocean's Gate level, he even summoned his Sacred Form and took on three Dragon Kings at once.
What kind of being is this?
Is he really human?
No, how could a human be such a terrifying monster?
The shockwave from the battle had left the four dragons fighting Azura utterly terrified. They no longer dared to continue the fight, retreating in fear, not even daring to glance at Timothy.
As they looked at the three Dragon Kings lying on the ground, barely alive, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon was plunged into silence. No one knew what to say.
Azura, now back in her human form, despite being slightly injured, playfully ran over to Timothy, her excitement evident. "How did you suddenly get so strong? Did you secretly eat a bunch of Golden Scale Dragon Carp?"
Timothy: "…"
"Do you think everyone's like you, obsessed with Golden Scale Dragon Carp?"
The dragons who wanted to strip Azura of her Dragon King title were nothing more than a disorganized rabble.
Now that Aegir was gone, and the three Dragon Kings who had backed them were beaten to a pulp, they were no longer a threat. Besides, Azura had always had a good "dragon affinity" within the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon. These guys were no longer a problem.
But…
Timothy frowned as he looked upward.
The golden light from his Soulborn Eye pierced through the deep sea, allowing him to see the scene above the ocean, even from thousands of feet below.
Dark clouds covered the sky.
And beneath the flashes of lightning, countless dark figures were illuminated.
The armies of the three Dragon Kings had gathered.
Above the clouds stood hundreds of thousands of dragon soldiers.
An entire army of hundreds of thousands covered the skies over the western seas!
"That human dared to attack the Dragon Kings like this? Unforgivable!"
"The Dragon Kings have been humiliated like this? He must be torn to pieces!"
Angry roars echoed through the sky as countless dragon soldiers, filled with rage, raised their weapons high.
"Kill!"
"Storm the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon! Kill Timothy!"
"Tear Timothy to shreds!"
"Timothy, today I'll make sure you die the most miserable death!"
The massive army began to descend from the clouds, heading straight for the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.
The sight of the combined forces of the three Dragon Kings' armies was so terrifying that it left everyone in the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon in shock.
No one had expected the three Dragon Kings to go this far, bringing their entire dragon armies with them!
"This is bad. Those old bastards are willing to go to such lengths just to fight for the Ocean Dragon King's throne."
Azura huddled closer to Timothy, her face turning a bit pale.
Countless eyes turned toward the sea, all filled with a mix of fear and dread.
Seeing their revered Dragon Kings beaten so badly through the crystal ball, the armies of the three Dragon Kings were seething with rage.
They wanted nothing more than to tear Timothy apart.
This human must pay for his actions!
"Follow me! We will kill Timothy right here!"
Under the command of the old dragon, the armies of the three Dragon Kings erupted in furious shouts, their dark mass surging toward the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon like a tidal wave.
The sky was covered in dark clouds, thunder roared, and the scene looked like the beginning of an apocalyptic battle.
"I'm protecting Timothy. I advise you not to take another step forward, or else..."
At that moment, a figure appeared in front of the advancing soldiers.
She had long golden hair, her figure was slender and graceful, as soft as flowing water.
Her thin golden dress fluttered in the wind, outlining a perfect, mesmerizing silhouette.
She was beautiful, yet exuded an aura of holiness that made her seem untouchable.
For a moment, the once fierce and murderous navy was left dumbstruck.
They had never seen such a breathtaking sight.
It was as if the sun and moon in the sky existed solely for this woman.
Is this what a human woman looks like?
"Wait, you're... Holy Maiden Aeliana!"
Suddenly, a dragon soldier shouted in shock.
The dragons were indeed unfamiliar with the world and rarely interacted with humans.
But even they had some knowledge of powerful figures like Holy Maiden Aeliana, a mighty Holy Emperor.
The old dragon Vorrak was furious. "Holy Maiden Aeliana, your sacred land has no quarrel with Timothy. Why are you protecting him?"
"Why? What do you think~"
In stark contrast to her earlier untouchable holiness, Holy Maiden Aeliana smiled charmingly, her eyes filled with a soft, affectionate light.
"You! Could it be that you and Timothy..."
Vorrak was stunned for a moment, but soon his anger flared up again.
"Timothy nearly killed our three Dragon Kings! Such a crime cannot be forgiven, even if we torture him to death. Today, we dragons will kill Timothy.
You may be a Holy Emperor, but do you really think you can stop hundreds of thousands of dragon soldiers by yourself?"
"What do you think?" Holy Maiden Aeliana smiled sweetly.
Though her smile was beautiful and enchanting, it carried an undercurrent of fear that made hearts tremble.
"Even if you have numbers on your side, you're nothing more than a disorganized mob. And besides..." Holy Maiden Aeliana's beautiful eyes glanced into the distance.
At that moment, a figure suddenly tore through the void, appearing in the sky above the western seas.
Cold, proud, and stunningly beautiful.
In an instant, the presence of this figure made every dragon soldier feel a suffocating pressure.
In that brief moment, the hundreds of thousands of dragon soldiers were all struck with fear, their eyes filled with terror.
"Today, I will protect Timothy. Who dares to take another step forward?" Sylvia's cold voice echoed.
Immediately, a divine aura as vast as a mountain pressed down on all sides.
Even without lifting a finger, the terrifying pressure was enough to instill fear in any living being.
Vorrak, who had been so aggressive just moments ago, took a step back, now too afraid to utter another word!
