"Dan Feng, where are we going now?" Roxy asked curiously. She tightly hugged the scroll stuffed with gold coins and the exquisite hat Bloody Kant had given her, her gaze fixed on Dan Feng who was right in front of her.
Dan Feng pondered for a moment before slowly answering, "Let's go back to Millishion and visit the landlady and Galdaruf and the others. After that, we can settle down in Millishion. What do you think?"
Their figures streaked through the sky like a cyan meteor, hurtling toward the Millis Continent at astonishing speed.
This cyan light cut across the sky above the Asura Kingdom, adding a touch of unique color to the blue expanse.
Below, some people in the towns noticed this spectacular sight in the sky and shouted in surprise, "Look up there!"
The shout quickly spread, drawing even more eyes upward toward the cyan light in the sky.
Dan Feng naturally noticed the many gazes coming from the towns below. He immediately decided to fly higher to avoid disturbing the order on the ground.
However, after ascending a bit further with Roxy in his arms, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a patch of shadow in the sky.
It was a black shadow obscured by clouds, faintly exuding an ancient aura.
"There's something up there?" Dan Feng thought to himself, a hint of puzzlement appearing on his face.
At the same time, Roxy, held in his arms, also noticed the massive black shadow overhead.
"Dan Feng, is there something up there? Why is it blocking such a large area?" Roxy blinked her large water-blue eyes, filled with curiosity.
Dan Feng looked down at Roxy in his arms and said, "I'm not sure either. But since you're so curious, let's go take a look."
Without waiting for more words, Dan Feng held Roxy tighter and flew upward, intending to investigate what exactly was above the clouds that could cast such a large shadow.
However, just as they were about to reach the cloud layer, Dan Feng suddenly sensed a killing intent flying toward them.
His brows furrowed slightly. Realizing something was wrong, he immediately summoned the Heavy Abyss Pearl without hesitation.
With a swing of his arm, the Heavy Abyss Pearl shot toward the source of the killing intent.
A crisp 'ding' rang out—like the clash of metal.
Immediately after, a man with golden hair, wearing a stand-up collar student uniform and a yellow mask, appeared not far from Dan Feng and Roxy.
The man's attire was quite unusual—completely different from ordinary clothing. It was a white stand-up collar student uniform.
He held a relatively large dagger in his hand. At that moment, a notch had appeared on the blade—clearly caused by the Heavy Abyss Pearl.
Just as it was about to shatter the dagger completely, the golden-haired man instantly turned into a streak of golden light and vanished from the spot where the Heavy Abyss Pearl had struck.
Thus, the Heavy Abyss Pearl returned to orbit around Dan Feng, while the man reappeared in human form from the golden light.
"Who are you?" Dan Feng asked in confusion, looking at the man not far away.
"My name is Glorious Kalmanfi—that is my name. This is the airborne fortress belonging to the Armored Dragon King. Intruders, leave at once, or don't blame me for showing no mercy." The golden-haired boy's tone was rather neutral, but extremely firm.
"Armored Dragon King? Perugius Dola?" Dan Feng recalled seeing that name in a book before and murmured softly.
Then, with a slightly apologetic tone, he said, "Sorry, we meant no offense to the Armored Dragon King's domain. We were simply curious why there was such a shadow here. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."
The Armored Dragon King was a name that shone brilliantly through the river of history—his existence was undoubtedly legendary.
Even the calendar of the world was named after him: the Armoured Dragon Calendar bore witness to his greatness.
Moreover, together with Dragon God Urup and North God Kalman, he was revered as one of the three heroes who slew the Demon God. Their deeds were celebrated worldwide—no one was unaware of them.
Though the North God was the one most often forgotten.
Dan Feng was well aware of the Armored Dragon King's feats. Even if some parts might have been exaggerated, it was still better not to provoke him.
Upon hearing Glorious Kalmanfi mention the Armored Dragon King's domain, Dan Feng took Roxy and continued flying toward the Millis Continent.
He understood that this yellow-masked individual was one of the twelve familiars of Armored Dragon King Perugius Dola—likely the Spirit of Light.
The fact that such an enormous airborne fortress could soar freely through the sky was proof enough of the Armored Dragon King's unimaginable power.
In this world, flight magic was extremely rare—only the Heaven Race and summoned spirits possessed the ability to fly.
Yet the Armored Dragon King could make such a colossal fortress move freely in the sky, clearly demonstrating extraordinary strength—perhaps even strength that would leave people speechless.
Of course, it definitely wouldn't surpass Dragon God Orsted, who was constantly reincarnating.
Orsted had once said he knew many God-class magics—he simply didn't want to expend the mana.
Naturally, the above were just Dan Feng's objective evaluations and speculations about Armored Dragon King Perugius Dola.
...
"Damn it!" Hitogami roared in fury.
"Why can't I see his future through future sight? Could he have received the Dragon God's protection?"
Hitogami glared with his mosaic eyes at the spot where the vice-principal's vision should have been—but now there was nothing.
This meant that this apostle of Hitogami had already met his end, and the culprit behind it was undoubtedly [Imbibitor Lunae].
Hitogami pondered inwardly. Because of his own willfulness, he had originally believed that this [Imbibitor Lunae] would not appear at all in the future timeline.
Moreover, according to the vice-principal's future that he had seen, everything had proceeded exactly as it should have—no deviation whatsoever.
This had convinced Hitogami that [Imbibitor Lunae] was merely a powerless nobody.
That was why Hitogami had confidently allowed the vice-principal to deal with [Imbibitor Lunae] in his own way.
Yet reality had slapped him hard in the face—the vice-principal had been so easily killed by [Imbibitor Lunae].
This incident caused Hitogami to develop deep doubts about his own future sight. He began wondering whether there was something wrong with his ability and whether it was still accurate.
At the same time, he realized that—aside from the Dragon God—he now had another powerful enemy.
