I like them big, do you? Chapter 166: Seven months later

“It’s the end of our dynasty… We have been abandoned by the Nerven Race… This continent no longer belongs to anyone but the Crimson Dragon,” A man known as The King September stared at the sky.

He was the last king to get destroyed by the Scarlet Flake Kingdom.

Not yet, as he stared up into the sky to look at the clouds, “We should’ve known this after the alliance of four kingdoms failed to protect the Brightdoom Kingdom from his army. For seven months, we have been nothing but training grounds for them…”

Crimson Dragon’s Army became a well-coordinated army just after a few weeks. They became better after months, and all of them displayed profound teamwork even without Lioness’ presence.

Commanders selected from the former royalty families also absorbed Lioness’ playstyle.

Their army could’ve swept the kingdoms at least four months ago, but they all trained and allowed other kingdoms to try new tactics against them.

Players cleaned the dungeons on their first try now. 

They dropped countless treasures.

At one point, their treasures were of the epic and even legendary grade as they were continuously going through those dungeons!

“We… We surrender, Crimson Dragon…” The King September bowed in reverence toward the Crimson Dragon himself.

For the last conquest, Reylin decided to fight alone.

However, the enemies no longer had any dark matter in their bodies. His appearance kicked away the last bits of that energy from their bodies. The constantly changing continent erased the most throughout the time.

Reylin’s Crimson Dragon also went through tremendous change.

It no longer had the snake’s body.

It had powerful limbs, vast wings, and beautiful scales. The dragon was closer to the western mythologies from the Crimson Dragon’s homeworld. That dragon rained intangible fire rain on all the kingdom’s citizens, including the king and his family, as all of them felt a sharp and warm wind on their bodies.

Reylin narrowed his eyes.

That slight movement forced the enemy king to drop on his knees. King September raised his royal seal, then it flew high to the sky.

He never bowed in his kingdom.

Even in the talk with the Nerven Race, he bowed only in their lands!

Back then, Nerven Race seemed out of his reach, and it was the same even now. A slight difference was that the king couldn’t imagine anyone taking them over… The Ascended disappointed, and churches held no power other than enough means to have their sanity intact.

Yet, a player with the dragon took the reign!

“And with this, I’ve become the king of the whole continent,” Reylin grasped the last royal seal, then shattered it.

His Crown Mana thundered within the sky, then it hurtled toward the royal veins. Those veins didn’t even try to oppose the new king, turning scarlet in the blink of an eye.

[The Scarlet Flake Kingdom has taken reign over the whole continent!]

[The Might Of The King, Crown Reylin, has spread wide and far! All residents know about his glory and tales!]

[The Continent’s name changes.]

[Crown Continent.]

[On this day, every player and resident has 100% increased EXP gain!]

Reylin smiled while most residents and players held celebrations! They all sang songs written by local bards about the Crimson Dragon and Crown Family, enjoying their time. Most of them didn’t really use the EXP increase as fighting was not their forte.

But those who did, sang even while slashing countless monsters!

Reylin turned his eyes to the sky, “I found your little lair.”

[You have found irregularity in the Crown Continent!]

That anomaly was either the ascended’s eyes or the Nerven Race.

But on what Reylin had in his mind, he thought it was undoubtedly the former.

He turned around and returned to his kingdom.

As for the newly conquered land, his second brother would surely take good care of it.

After all, Crown Lawrence was in charge of the whole political stuff for the Scarlet Flake Kingdom.

–

A woman with violet eyes and white hair sat cross-legged before the frozen statue. She stared at the Lion King within the ice tomb, then closed her eyes.

Behind her, Lion Ghost patiently waited for the development!

The Crimson Dragon’s wife was the only hope for their king!

‘There are five families from the Nerven Race… One of them is kept in check by the ascended while the other has started making moves around the continents. What about the rest? What are they doing? Second layer? That shouldn’t be the case…’ Lioness thought inwardly.

The second layer was out of their reach. But if a family somehow made a way here, then the ascended already failed their task.

The lioness didn’t think it was the case with how greedy for the status they were.

Alas, she couldn’t stop thinking about other families.

Why didn’t those people team up together against them?

[The Scarlet Flake Kingdom has taken reign over the whole continent!]

Aria smiled as she noticed this message.

‘It doesn’t matter what they do. Their plans do not matter… I will challenge them and rip apart their souls for what they did to us,’ Aria inwardly swore.

Her family was always step behind the Crowns. Even now, Reylin and his brothers did the most for the kingdom. Aria was considered part of Crowns now, but her family was 2nd overall.

Her brothers were strong indeed.

Still, Crimson Dragon wasn’t just a step ahead.

Lioness was too behind, even though their beginning was pretty much the same. She created her own skill based on her belief in Lions, and then… its growth stopped. After Aria spoke and trained with the real lion race, it became much better.

Reylin was born as Dragon.

She wasn’t, “I see the problem now… Do you want me to drop my pride? Sorry, Lion King. I won’t become your queen as I am already spoken for. I am a queen in all but name. It’s too early for marriages and stuff.”

“Y-You!” The Lion Ghost bared his fangs as the Lioness’ declaration ended.

She ended it with a threat, “I will become the Lion Queen by taking your title. That Queen has and will have one husband, The Crimson Dragon, Crown Reylin.”

One world couldn’t contain two beasts.

If Reylin was a Dragon from the Earth, Lioness would take the Lion from the Faynom World!

[Lion King has invited you to the mental sphere.]
