King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 417 - 417 412 Dragon Prestige

Chapter 417: Chapter 412: Dragon Prestige Chapter 417: Chapter 412: Dragon Prestige Having personally slain all the demon followers that were searched out, thus resolving a hidden danger in the city, Yaheng felt relieved, then began to stroll leisurely around the city streets that were under his watch.

Unnoticed, Yaheng arrived at the entrance of a quiet orphanage, where an old man dressed in ragged clothes with white hair was holding a broom, silently sweeping within the orphanage.

“Good evening, elder, are the children asleep?”

“They are all asleep.” The old man glanced at Yaheng, “I’ve told you countless times, clean the stench off of you after killing before you come here. You will scare the children during the day like this.”

“I don’t smell of anything.” Yaheng sniffed his armpit with a somewhat resentful look.

“The strong stench of blood on you, I could smell it from a street away.” The old man spoke in a casual tone.

“Hehe, elder, only you can sense it.” Yaheng laughed, and walked over intending to take the broom from the old man and sweep for him. This caregiver of the orphanage was a recluse he found shortly after coming to this city.

“Do not underestimate the children’s spiritual sense on this matter.” The old man did not refuse, just let Yaheng snatch away his broom, “Whom did you kill just now?”

“Demon followers.”

“Did you kill them thoroughly?” The old man paused slightly.

“I will not spare any follower.”

“But you did not kill them completely.” The old man raised his head to look at the night sky illuminated by the seven moons. The originally pure and spotless moon now carried a trace of blood color, it looked full of bloodthirstiness, chaos, and a sense of malevolence.

“How is that possible? I have already killed them all.” The young Yaheng, looking at the blood moon that he had once witnessed, could not help trembling. This was due to anger.

“You only discovered a small part.” The old man looked at the blackish-red sky, his gaze fell, and turned to go inside the house. He was preparing to wake the children and leave the city with them.

“Elder, I am going to the Demon Hunting Monument to request backup, I will leave first.” The young man, who had realized he had failed his duty, dropped the broom in his hand, the vigorous fighting Qi surged within his body, lifting him off, towards the Demon Hunting Monument in the night sky that emanated a bewildering spirit light. He flew rapidly.

“Rawr!” But before Yaheng had even approached the Demon Hunting Monument, a gold-level Winged Demon appeared from mid-air and without any hesitation pounced at him, engaging in a battle with him, preventing Yaheng from getting near the Demon Hunting Monument.

Many people were aware of the anomaly appearing in the sky above the city at the very onset. Everyone’s first reaction was to rush towards the Demon Hunting Monument, intending to seek help from the royal capital through the monument.

The Magic Disaster had already been going on for three years. Under the tireless propaganda by Muria, a lot of knowledge about demons had become common sense. The early signs of a blood sacrifice, the summoning of demons by the followers, even the slightly more sensible children knew about this.

Unfortunately, all the people who were moving towards the Demon Hunting Monument were blocked by demons that appeared abruptly. Most people were brutally killed by the demons after a few rounds of combat.

This was a premeditated attack. The majority of the demons that the demon followers had summoned were concentrated around the Demon Hunting Monument. They didn’t want anyone to touch the monument.

As for destroying the Demon Hunting Monument, this was obviously telling the United War Department of the royal capital that there was a problem and to quickly send rescue. There had been a precedent before when a group of demon followers destroyed the Demon Hunting Monument before the blood sacrifice of a city, and then on the next breath, an ancient dragon arrived.

That was a very sorrowful story, so as a newcomer, one must heed the lesson learned through bloodshed. The Demon Hunting Monument absolutely cannot be destroyed. The only possibility was to find a way to block others from approaching it and sending out a distress signal.

“Roar!” “Ow!”… The roars of demons resounded one after another in the city, accompanied by cries and screams of human commoners. For ordinary humans, this was a catastrophic disaster that drove them to despair.

“Children, time to wake up.” In the orphanage, the elder woke all the children, leading these trembling, fearful children with him.

The man led the children to the front door, drew a sword from the door, its radiance signified the extraordinariness of this long sword.

“Grandpa, I’m scared!” A little girl wearing old hemp clothes, with tears in her eyes, was tugging at the man’s clothes.

“Don’t be afraid, you see, your grandpa now has a sword and can protect you.” The elderly man cheerfully showed the children the long sword in his hand, which used to be his side-weapon in his youth.

“Humans, who are you trying to protect?” A Temptation Demon with a violent voice silently appeared outside the orphanage gate, alongside him were four Frolon demons, and dozens of greedy, restless Cowardly Demons.

“Gold-level demon!” The elder sighed softly when he saw the demons before him, not expecting to encounter a major demon before he could even leave.

“Human, I’ll give you a chance; hand over all the children to me, and I’ll spare your life.” The Temptation Demon gazed at the elderly man maliciously.

Without uttering a word, the elderly man shot the Temptation Demon a look of disdain, and patted the little girl who was clinging to his clothes, “Xiao Ying, let go for a moment, give grandpa some time to kill this demon.”

“Grandpa, this is a Temptation Demon. It likes to deceive people. Once it fails, it will approach its opponent…” The little girl quickly rattled off a pile of information about the Temptation Demon, causing the Temptation Demon’s growling in annoyance.

“Grandpa knows. With your information, grandpa can solve them right away.” The elderly man, holding the long sword, took a step towards the Temptation Demon.

“Human, you think you can fight me with that decrepit body of yours?”

“Gold-level demon, I’ve killed quite a few in my time.” Ignoring the Temptation Demon’s shouts, the elderly man wielded his sword at a leisurely pace, approaching the group of demons. Nearly invisible Soul Intent emerged from under his feet.

“Sou…” The demon barely uttered a word in shock before stopping.

*Splurt!* The vile and foul blood splattered out. The elderly man who had slain all the demons with a single swing motioned to the huddled group of children, “Let’s go, grandpa will lead you out of the city.”

“Wow! Grandpa, you’re so amazing!”

“Of course, grandpa’s sword has been stained with dragon blood.” The elderly man leisurely narrated his past feats to these children he had adopted, calming their emotions. In the meantime, he wrapped all the children up with his profound and rich fighting Qi, heading full tilt towards the city’s outskirts.

“Human, stay!”

“Where do you think you’re running off to?”

…

One demon after another surged out from both sides of the street, pouncing towards this elderly man who was leading a group of orphans. Every demon could sense the disparity between the elderly man’s powerful soul and his frail body. The elderly man was a feast to the demons.

…”Soul Intent Level Demon!” Facing the six-armed Snake Demon, the elderly man, who had already lost count of how many demons he had killed, showed a modicum of helplessness on his face. “As a warrior, it’s an honor to die in battle; but I can’t die yet, I haven’t gotten these children out of the city.”

*Roar!* Just as the elderly man was preparing to burn his soul, returning his body to its youthful state to battle against the six-armed Snake Demon, a resonating Dragon Chant was heard, and a pale golden Dragon Prestige spread around.
