Chapter 279: Lexie and Scarlett Are Shocked

A/N: As you already know, Ren has turned into a dragon. But for your information, I still haven’t decided on his mother’s race.

I’m still thinking about it now.

----

"Ren turned into... a dragon?"

"What did they do to him? How could they turn a human being into a magical beast?"

"Did they use forbidden magic?"

"Ren..."

The soldiers and citizens who watched their fight widened their eyes in disbelief.

They knew magic was capable of doing many unimaginable things, but it had never crossed their minds that Kaela would use forbidden magic to turn him into a magical beast.

Like the citizens, Ren was also stunned.

He kept checking his new body because he found it hard to believe what was happening to him.

’A dragon? I’m a dragon?’

He knew he was half human, half magical beast, but the way he turned into a magical beast was different from what he expected.

He thought he would discover everything slowly, so when he turned into a magical beast out of the blue like that, it shocked him greatly.

Of course, he could still control his emotions because he knew from the start that he was not one hundred percent human.

As Ren was observing his new body, Kaela suggested that Zerina take Talia away from Nightshire City.

They would die if they remained there because Ren didn’t turn into a weak or useless magical beast, but a dragon, one of the strongest magical beast races in the world.

"Fifth Elder, my time is up. Hurry up and return to our organization. You are not safe here." The moment Kaela finished speaking, her body began to break apart, slowly dissolving into shimmering golden fragments.

"Fourth Elder!" Zerina’s face was filled with sorrow as she watched Kaela slowly disappear.

"Fifth Elder, please tell the Palace Mistress... I’m sorry I can no longer support and protect our organization." Kaela gave her final words before she completely disappeared from the world.

"Fourth Elder, I will deliver your apology to the Palace Mistress." Zerina’s sad expression suddenly turned to anger. "And I promise... one day, I will kill him. I will slaughter everyone and reduce this city to nothing."

She rose to her feet and flew into the sky to find Talia.

’Seventh Elder?’

Her eyes widened in shock when she saw Scarlett dragging Talia’s lifeless body out of the rubble.

’Even the Seventh Elder also lost the fight?’

She gritted her teeth in fury.

’Just you wait. One day, I will return and make you pay a hundredfold.’

She took out a teleportation scroll and activated it, leaving Nightshire City and reappearing in Kaela’s courtyard.

"Hmm?" Ren looked for Zerina when he came to her senses.

’Where is she?’

He skimmed his surroundings, but she was nowhere to be seen.

He used his system to scan the city, but the result was the same.

’She had escaped!’

He gritted his teeth in fury when he found out that Zerina had escaped because he failed to kill all of their enemies.

"A dragon?" Scarlett stopped her footsteps when she saw Ren.

She didn’t know the silver dragon floating above her city was her lover because she focused on facing Talia earlier.

’I won’t let more people die!’

She dropped Talia’s corpse and retrieved her sword.

But when she was about to attack Ren, Captain Noah and the others stopped her.

"City Mistress, wait!" Captain Noah said. "That dragon is not an enemy. He is Ren!"

"That’s right, City Mistress!" Lieutenant Zayne added. "One of our enemies used magic to turn him into a dragon."

Ren descended from the sky when he noticed Scarlett. "Scarlett, are you fine?"

"Ren, is that really you?" Scarlett asked.

"Yes." Ren replied. "One of them transformed me into a dragon. She managed to escape from me too."

"Sister Scarlett, are you fine? Where are the ene-?" Lexie stopped her words halfway when she caught sight of Ren.

’A dragon?’

She tensed in an instant because she mistook him as their enemy as well.

"Sister Lexie, don’t be afraid. He is Ren." even though Ren’s voice had changed completely, Scarlett knew the dragon was truly him because the way he cared for her was exactly the same.

"Ren?" Lexie’s voice trembled, and her breath hitched as she stared at the big magical beast before her.

"Yes. It’s me." Ren could understand her reaction because it was normal. "How is Luna?"

"Luna is heavily injured and currently in a coma." Lexie’s voice was filled with sadness when she remembered her niece.

"Scarlett, contact Althea and tell her to bring my clone here. I can’t use any skills or magic in this form." Ren previously tried to use skill and magic to find Zerina, but for some reason, it didn’t work.

"Alright." Scarlett rushed to the communication room immediately.

At the same time, in Misty Palace, Zerina was heading to the main hall.

She didn’t ask a healing mage to treat her wounds and only took a healing pill because she needed to tell the Palace Mistress about their mission immediately.

Aurelia, who was sitting on her throne, was shocked when she saw Zerina entering the main with a pitiful condition.

However, her expression didn’t change in the slightest, as if she didn’t care about her subordinates’ well-being.

"Fifth Elder, what’s going on?" Aurelia asked.

"Report, Palace Mistress. We... we failed to bring him to you." Zerina’s voice faltered mid-sentence because she was overwhelmed by the shame of failure.

"Failed? Then, where is the Fourth Elder?" Aurelia didn’t know that Talia joined them in capturing Ren, so she didn’t ask about her.

"The Fourth Elder, she... she was killed by him." the words caught in her throat when Zerina answered Aurelia’s question.

"She was killed by him? Explain everything in detail!" Aurelia commanded.

"The Fourth Elder and I..." Zerina began explaining everything.

She also told Aurela that the Seventh Elder joined them in capturing Ren.

However, she could not return with her because she had also died in Nightshire City.

"So, the Fourth Elder was killed by Ren, and the Seventh Elder died at his woman’s hands?" Aurelia almost could not control her emotions this time.

Not only did they fail to bring him to her, but they also lost two elders.

And both of them were important elders because Talia led the Pill and Potion Division while Kaela was in charge of the Formation Division.

"Yes." Zerina said the Fourth Elder used her body and soul to turn Ren into a magical beast.

"You may leave now," Aurelia said.

Zerina bowed respectfully before turning and walking out of the main hall.

"Two 5-star mages and still lost to him..." Aurelia sighed in frustration because she didn’t expect him to be so strong.

While Aurelia was trying to calm herself, a full-scale war happened in the palace of the Tuiziya Kingdom.

Of course, the Veneian Kingdom had the upper hand because the Tuiziya Kingdom was outmatched both in numbers and in powerful Awakeners.

"King Aldric, today will be the end of our long war." Althea stated. "After today, the Tuiziya Kingdom will no longer exist!"

"The war isn’t over yet! We haven’t lost!" King Aldric roared.

The duo continued fighting.

On the other part of the battlefield, Ren’s clone was strangling Elyse’s neck.

She was the reason the Tuiziya Kingdom attacked Nightshire City many times, so he looked for her as soon as the war broke out.

"Woman, don’t even think you will get a peaceful death today," Ren strangled her neck tighter and tighter every second. "You must experience the suffering of the citizens of Nightshire City first before I send you to the underworld."

"Suffer? They deserve it because they killed my brother!" Elyse’s face was red from a lack of oxygen.

But even so, she didn’t beg him to release her because, in her eyes, she had done nothing wrong.

"Deserve it, huh?" Ren’s voice was low, but his eyes were filled with coldness. "Then, I will show you exactly what you deserve."

He didn’t care, even if she was a woman.

She had made the citizens of Nightshire City suffer, so she had to feel the same.

"Aaaggghhh..." A soul-piercing howl of pain reverberated in the entire area.

Her subordinates tried to save her, but they ended up getting beaten as well because they were no match for him.

At the same time, a messenger was rushing toward Althea.

Scarlett said it was urgent, so he didn’t delay in delivering the message.

’I need to reach Her Majesty as quickly as possible.’
