-1557- Master of Dragons

"Go! Everyone!"

Leysritt shouted in a cheerful and innocent voice, causing countless armored beetles to tremble in response.

The swarm of bee-like small variants rushed out, densely packed, resembling locusts swarming across the land, leaving nothing behind.

The variant Kakushuku [1] vibrated its wings on its back, raising its scythe that hummed at high speed, darting towards Rozen like a bolt of lightning.

The variant Kako [2] raised the cannon on its back, the barrel flashing with red arcs of electricity, firing an electromagnetic-like cannon shot, which tore through the atmosphere as it streaked forward.

Finally, even the variant Sanshuku [7] roared towards the sky, its hard carapace writhing as it opened multiple holes, releasing more bee-like small variants, forming an endless army of small creatures, continuously pouring out.

The armored beetles under Leysritt's control all began to show their might.

With Leysritt's Collapse Force strengthening them, and their trait of reviving and becoming stronger after death, this army was destined to be invincible and unstoppable.

Leysritt could already foresee her victory.

No matter how strong Rozen was, facing this unstoppable army, his defeat was only a matter of time.

Of course, Leysritt wouldn't kill Rozen, but as she had said, once Rozen was defeated, she would cast Chaotic Resurrection on him, controlling his mind and turning him into her pet.

In this way, Leysritt would gain the strongest, best, and most outstanding pet, even enough to make Zeth envious.

Thinking about this made Leysritt so happy that she couldn't help but feel like cheering out loud.

What Leysritt didn't know was that even if she succeeded in casting Chaotic Resurrection on Rozen, she would never be able to control his mind and make him her pet.

With Gyokuto's protection, no curse, poison, mental control, or soul manipulation could affect Rozen.

Unless the magic surpasses the level of divine beings, all negative effects would be entirely nullified by Gyokuto.

Furthermore, due to Rozen's High-Grade Mana, not only had Altera become much stronger than before, but Gyokuto, as Rozen's familiar, had also increased in power.

Currently, even the will of the Fourth Primogenitor sealed inside Rozen could be suppressed by Gyokuto, and if Rozen unsealed his seal, the influence would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Leysritt's plan could only be described as an unrealistic dream.

No, it was better to call it a delusion.

Moreover, Rozen was not going to be defeated.

Perhaps, if it were someone else, facing this unstoppable army, they might have no choice but to accept their fate.

Unfortunately, Rozen wouldn't.

An army?

Rozen had as many as he needed.

"Buzz—!"

As an enormous magic circle unfolded beneath Rozen's feet, instantly covering the sky of the entire Ninth Artificial Sky Island, Rozen's voice echoed everywhere.

"Summon Wyvern."

Vast High-Grade Mana materialized as tangible streams of energy, pouring into the magic circle.

Immediately, a myth was born.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Amid the dragon-like roars, one Wyvern after another flew out from the magic circle.

Not only were there normal Wyvern, but various other types of elemental Wyvern as well.

There were molten Wyvern capable of controlling fire.

There were storm Wyvern capable of controlling windstorms.

There were frost Wyvern capable of controlling ice.

There were thunder Wyvern capable of controlling lightning.

Each type of dragon flew out from the massive magic circle, entering this realm.

Then...

"Summom Dragonkind."

Rozen's voice echoed again.

The magic circle, covering the entire sky, shrank abruptly, continuously converging until it formed two intricate and exquisite magic circles, side by side in front of Rozen.

And what emerged from these magic circles were not Wyvern.

What appeared from these magic circles were true Dragonkind.

The Dragonkind, hailed as the most powerful among all mythical creatures, had finally been summoned into this world by Rozen.

"Roar—!"

"Roar—!"

Two ferocious dragons charged into the sky, flapping their wings, and announced their arrival to every being in this world with their roars.

Those roars made the ground tremble, split the air, and shook the very foundations of the Ninth Artificial Sky Island.

The terrifying presence of the dragons spread out from the two giant dragons and the numerous Wyverns.

"Roar ———!"

The earth-shaking dragon roars reverberated through the sky, lingering for a long time.

At that moment, those who witnessed this scene were stunned.

At that moment, the sky wizards who saw it were shocked.

"What…what is that…!?"

Even Yamier Kaiser, who had been observing everything in secret, had her pupils constrict, causing the comrades behind her to be utterly astonished.

As for Leysritt, her expression had completely frozen due to everything that was happening before her.

"This… this…"

Leysritt was completely overwhelmed.

But it was too soon for her to be shocked.

The true reason for her to be astonished was yet to come.

"Come forth, Hokuto."

Rozen calmly declared.

"You should come and have some fun too."

With these words, accompanied by a burst of blood mist, a golden radiance erupted from Rozen's body, rising to the highest point amidst the roars of the Dragonkind and Wyverns.

Then, an awe-inspiring divine dragon appeared there, entering everyone's sight.

"Roar—!"

Hokuto opened its wise eyes, letting out a joyful roar after a long absence.

That roar transformed into sound waves, blowing away the incoming swarm of bee-like small variants.

A legion of dragons, composed of divine dragons, giant dragons, and various wyvern, was summoned by Rozen.

"Though they are not my pets, but companions who have always coexisted with my soul, I believe they are more than a match for your army."

Rozen, surging with High-Grade Mana, smiled mockingly at Leysritt, surrounded by the dragon legion.

"You call yourself the Master of Servants?"

"If so, then I am the Master of Dragons."

"Let's see if you can really turn me into your pet."

With those words, every Dragonkind and Wyvern fixed their gaze on the armored beetle army.

Violent intent surged in their eyes.

"Roar ———!"

The mighty dragon army let out fierce roars, announcing the start of the fight.

Then, like a dark cloud, they charged towards the army of armored beetles.
