Chapter 344:

The towering Valyrian noble general, clad in heavy armor, also heard the resounding dragon roar that pierced the sky. His eyes once again showed a struggle.

His gaze towards Viserys became somewhat complex as he noticed his shimmering silver-gold hair.

Viserys didn't miss this opportunity, his sword aimed directly at the general's throat.

The noble general's reaction was swift, his eyes once again filled with violence.

Even though he had lost his sanity, his muscle memory allowed him to dodge Viserys's sword.

He then let out a roar, his heavy long sword swinging directly towards Viserys.

The surrounding Valyrian soldiers had them surrounded, but they did not attack, seemingly under the general's command.

Clang—

Viserys skillfully dodged, the long sword heavily hitting the ground, causing stones to fly and leaving a deep mark.

Viserys's eyes narrowed slightly.

Without waiting for him to react, the Valyrian general swung his sword again, intending to cut the silver-haired youth in half.

This time Viserys had nowhere to retreat, unable to dodge, he could only raise his long sword to block.

Clang—

The violent collision of metal sparked.

Viserys's hand felt slightly numb, his long sword instantly broke, the tip flying out and landing on the ground.

Viserys himself, however, managed to dodge the attack once again.

"Strong..."

"Much stronger than the Mountain."

Viserys shook his hand, which was slightly numb from the intense collision, but it was not a big deal.

The opponent seemed somewhat surprised that the young man in front of him had such great strength to withstand his sword.

The violent color in his blood-red eyes became even more intense.

"Be careful, Viserys!"

Mia, seeing this, couldn't help but exclaim.

"His sword seems to be Valyrian steel!"

Valyrian steel is extremely sharp and will not break or chip, even after hundreds or thousands of years. This is why the general was able to break Viserys's sword with a single stroke.

However, this was the first time the exploration team had seen a weapon made of Valyrian steel since they entered this lost continent.

In fact, people have always had a misconception about Valyrian steel, thinking that every soldier in that glorious civilization would be equipped with Valyrian steel armor and weapons.

But in reality, the process of making Valyrian steel is extremely complex, and it is suspected to involve magic, similar to the black stone technique.

There are two types of black stones in the world, one is the oily black stone of unknown origin, which appears widely in the wonders of the world, and the other is the stone built under the flame of Valyrian dragons.

Even in the Freehold of Valyria, Valyrian steel weapons were extremely rare, only nobles were qualified to possess them, which is why they are so scarce in the outside world.

For example, the Starks' Ice, the Tarlys' Heartsbane, the Mormonts' Longclaw, and so on...

These were all forged by Valyria for the Westerosi nobles at a great cost.

Huff~

However, even though his sword was broken, Viserys was still not panicked. He rolled on the spot to dodge the man's attack again, holding the broken sword and sweeping towards the knee to repel the opponent.

Then he got up, one hand holding the broken sword, and the other hand drew the Valyrian steel dagger from his waist.

"Roar—"

The fully armored general roared and lunged again.

But this time, after his attack was dodged by the silver

-haired youth again, the broken sword in the latter's hand skillfully slipped through the gaps in the armor, cutting the flesh of his thigh.

Then, in the moment when the general was in pain, another sword cut off the wrist of his sword-holding hand.

Thud—

Viserys, holding the Valyrian steel dagger, pounced forward, the dagger piercing the general's throat like lightning.

Thump—

With a dull sound, the tall black-haired monster collapsed heavily, kneeling on one knee.

Blood gushed from his throat, staining his armor red. His body twitched a bit, but the red in his eyes quickly faded at this moment.

Then he looked up at Viserys, using his last strength to point in the direction where he had been sitting.

"What are you trying to say?"

Viserys took a deep breath, his eyebrows furrowed as he looked up, unsure of what the other party was implying.

But the Valyrian noble had no strength left to explain, and his body fell heavily to the ground. A large cloud of black fog was absorbed into Viserys's body.

The soldiers who were about to arrive and were surrounding him also turned into black fog and were absorbed into Viserys's body.

"Why did they disappear?"

The red-haired girl standing behind Viserys, holding a bundle containing five dragon eggs, looked somewhat uncertain.

The sudden change happened too quickly. One second, Viserys's sword was broken and the situation was dire, and the next second, Viserys suddenly seized the opportunity and killed the opponent.

When the leading Valyrian noble fell, all the controlled soldiers around him turned into black fog and disappeared on the spot.

"Roar—"

At this moment, a huge dragon roar came from above Mia's head, echoing far in the silent night.

The numerous Valyrian residents who had now turned into black-haired monsters were terrified by the disturbance, and the surviving members of the exploration team hiding in the dark were also stunned.

They didn't expect that there would be a living dragon in the ruins of Valyria.

Balerion dove from the sky but was too late, as Viserys had already dealt with all the enemies here.

Boom—

Then Balerion's heavy body landed on the ground, shattering the floor and stirring up dust. He raised his long, elegant neck and let out another loud roar.

Balerion, the dragon, had been wandering in the ruins of Valyria for so long without being called by Viserys. Now that he finally had the chance to show up, he seemed very excited and eager to try.

However, when he flew down, he found that all the monsters here had been dealt with by Viserys, and he was somewhat displeased.

But Viserys didn't pay him any mind.

From the direction the man had pointed, he only found a book that seemed to be about 'demons' and 'devils'.

"This book is about..."

Viserys flipped through it briefly, raising an eyebrow slightly.
