"Not only will I not make things difficult for you, but I'll also give you that blood sword. I suppose the 'Rose' you mentioned is the sword used by the First Generation Demon King."
"However, if I knock you down within five seconds, you'll have to pay double the ransom. How about that?"
Hearing Jona Velli's words, Valena clenched her fists, her expression strained, almost gritting her teeth.
She was being looked down upon, blatantly humiliated.
Although within the same realm, dragons are hailed as invincible, often even fighting across tiers.
But ten seconds, especially when she was two rings higher than her, was too much of an underestimation.
"Alright, I accept..."
"My lady, this matter..."
The two Vampires beside her prepared to dissuade her, as if anything happened to Valena, they couldn't bear the blame from the True Ancestor.
But Valena raised her hand and waved it dismissively.
"No need to say more about this. My mind is made up, meow."
Valena looked at Jona Velli.
"Where? When do we start?"
"Right here, right now."
Jona Velli gave a sinister smile.
Boom!
She swung a punch, and the prison door, engraved with hardening, sturdy magic patterns, and reinforced with a solid Magic Array, was broken by her bare hand.
Seeing this monstrous strength, the Vampires and humans in the cell instinctively trembled, their faces filled with horror.
The human girl with brass-colored hair was the same, covering her mouth with her small hands, her eyes wide open.
"This..."
In contrast, Valena, watching Jona Velli float in, looked extremely grave.
"Little Shunzi, count down from three."
"Yes! Great Master!"
"Three."
"Two."
"One!"
As soon as the syllable ended, Jona Velli shot out, her speed relying solely on her physical body already beyond what the naked eye could capture.
She threw a punch, aiming for Valena's face.
Her crimson pupils widened to their maximum, emitting red light.
This was a type of Magic Eye, a pair of Swift Magic Eyes.
Speed Rules and Agility Rules manifested all over Valena's body.
She leaned back at an incredible angle, her body twisting unnaturally, hastily dodging the attack.
But in that instant, immense horror welled up in her heart.
She couldn't win! The moment Jona Velli made her move, she felt the gap between them.
Her strength was unfathomable, an insurmountable chasm, a gap that even realm suppression couldn't easily bridge!
This, is this what a dragon is like.
Seeing Valena's quick reaction speed, Jona Velli was momentarily surprised.
Seeing Valena prepare to tense all her muscles to dodge, the white dragon tail sliced through the air, sweeping toward her abdomen.
However, Jona Velli still held back some force, as using full strength would result in her being cut in half at the waist.
But even with this restrained force, it was enough to incapacitate Valena with one blow, leaving her severely injured on the spot.
Valena naturally understood this, but the dragon tail attack was too fast, impossible to dodge in time.
Just as it was about to hit, Valena's waist transformed into several tiny bats.
This bat transformation method was similar to Jona Velli's incorporeal Elementalization, but only similar.
After all, if these bats were harmed, she wouldn't feel too good either.
Jona Velli's dragon tail instantly smashed the bats at the waist into a bloody mist.
As a result, Valena spat blood, but... she also gained a chance to counterattack.
Earlier, when she tensed her muscles, it was for this strike.
Blood Rules condensed at the tip of her foot into a Blood Dagger, and she kicked upward.
This strike could not only attack Jona Velli but also create distance, looking for an opportunity.
Logically, such a plan was extremely clever, and with her strength, there was no reason for it to fail.
But... to Jona Velli, this was truly a bit of a petty trick.
"Elementalization."
Jona Velli transformed into a humanoid shape composed of ice elemental particles, and Valena's strike passed right through her body.
Before she could even execute a backstep, the fist wind had already assaulted her face.
Boom!
Jona Velli threw a spinning punch using leverage, hitting her face, crushing her nasal bone and other facial features inward.
The entire Vampire Catgirl was sent flying, smashing through several walls, finally stuck in one, unable to be pried out.
"Whew~"
Jona Velli brought her fist to her face and gently blew on it.
"Wow! Awesome!"
"How do you train a fist as big as a sandbag?"
A delicate little face suddenly appeared excitedly in front of Jona Velli's fist, looking thrilled.
The sudden scene startled Jona Velli, who then pushed her away with her dragon tail.
"Shoo, shoo, where did this little brat come from? Go play somewhere else."
The pushed-away brass-haired girl wasn't annoyed, still excitedly examining her, speaking with admiration.
"Teach me, teach me, please teach me! I want to make a certain arrogant, conceited, haughty, self-righteous guy pay the price!"
But then, the girl paused, dissatisfaction flashing in her amber eyes.
"I'm not a child, I'm already over seventy years old..."
Before she could finish, the girl hurriedly covered her mouth, looking innocent.
In contrast, Jona Velli and Friel had already sensed something amiss.
Heterochromatic pupils and fiery red vertical pupils stared intently at her, finally noticing her uniqueness.
Upon closer inspection, this human seemed to have a different aura... one that made Chromatic Dragons like them inherently dislike.
This was unique to those hypocritical beings.
"What is Sasha to you?"
Jona Velli inexplicably asked this, and the brass-haired girl, her brain overheating, blurted out.
"You know Sister Sasha?!"
Indeed... Ailar realized she had been tricked as soon as she finished speaking, hurriedly covering her mouth.
But it was already too late. Jona Velli grabbed her neck with a single claw, lifting her into the air.
"Dragon Island folks, as expected, wherever there's trouble, there you are."
Her heterochromatic pupils turned cold, leaning close to Ailar.
"Speak, what is your purpose here, you Metal Dragons?"
Ailar felt her scalp tingle under the gaze.
From childhood, among the dragon kin she had seen, almost all looked at her with gentle, kind, doting, encouraging eyes.
The only exception was the Blue Dragon Evelyn, who often looked at her with disdain and disgust.
But like Jona Velli, who wanted to see through her, with unfriendly, brutal, cruel eyes.
And that contempt and indifference.
Seeing such a gaze for the first time, Ailar couldn't help but doubt the truth of Sasha's words.
Swallowing hard, she suddenly realized something.
This was the Jesup Continent. Sasha had been here before, and wasn't she sneaking here this time to see that Black Dragon?
Moreover, the Red Dragon in the Inheritance Footage she was following, the IP address seemed to be on the Jesup Continent too.
Plus, from Sasha's account...
