This time, Serene quickly regained her composure, her voice resolute.

Hearing Serene's words, the initially tense atmosphere among our group began to ease just a bit, when the voice of the culprit rang out again, mocking.

"Oh? You won't expect that the opponent you face this time is exactly the same as before, do you? What a bunch of utterly foolish people you are. This time, you'll surely be very surprised, especially the idiots from the Blazing Flame Family and Red Night."

After speaking, the culprit laughed wickedly once more, the unabashed laughter as if ready to watch a good show.

"Don't think you can deceive us like this..."

Serene's voice halted abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Not just her, but all of the Dragon Clan's elites in our group, including Red Night, widened their eyes, staring intently at the increasingly clear figures of the Parasitic Giant Dragon opponents.

With the heavy footsteps of the enormous figures approaching, the silhouettes of the leading Parasitic Giant Dragons became completely distinct.

Deep in the hall filled with magma, the light of the magic sphere illuminated immense dragon bodies, interspersed with red scales and purple crystals. On those expressionless large dragon faces, the white pupils were hollow; these were indeed a group of swaying Red Dragons.

Facing those massive bodies shimmering with eerie purple light, Red Night and Serene and the other dragons' bodies grew increasingly rigid, nearly glaring their eyes out of their sockets.

Despite the blank expressions on the Red Dragons' faces, Red Night and Serene could clearly discern that these were indeed clan members who perished on that night of destruction.

"Uncle, cousin... you, you all..."

Serene's shoulders trembled continuously, her starry eyes fixed on the once very familiar dragon shadows, fortunately supported by several fellow clan members, preventing her from collapsing to the ground.

Though the other clan members appeared somewhat stronger, they too showed faces filled with sorrow, their complexions pale.

Suddenly, memories of the night of destruction from centuries ago resurfaced vividly in their minds.

The raging flames, the clan's wails, shattered dragon scales, bitten-off dragon necks, broken dragon claws... those scenes desperately attempted to forget now continually assailed their increasingly fragile nerves.

As for Red Night, although she did not act out as Serene did, she silently bit down on her red lips, her slender body beginning to tremble.

In the approaching enemy camp, she, too, saw numerous fallen clan members from back then, quite a few who sacrificed themselves to protect the Clan Leader's daughter—her, allowing her to escape, ultimately falling into the culprit's and his minions' grasp.

While Red Night bit her lips until they bled, uncertain what to do, a warm big hand lightly patted her trembling shoulder—Leo Ray's.

"Lord..."

Feeling the warmth from Leo Ray's hand, Red Night's tense emotions finally couldn't hold themselves in, her voice beginning to tremble.

Beside her, Leo Ray, who knew that he had not tasted the bitterness in others' tears and could not understand their sorrow in hardships, did not speak. Instead, he nodded heavily toward her and slightly increased the strength of his hand on her shoulder, using action to tell her: after evading being hunted for centuries, she was no longer alone.

"Haha, quite a touching scene, but unfortunately, you are about to repeat the fate of these useless dragons, and be slain by their very own hands!"

As the sinister voice of the culprit died away, the dragons of the same clan and other attribute dragons let out a wild roar as they charged forward, their wings spreading wide, enveloping everything in sight, causing instant killing aura to erupt throughout the hall.

Compared to the previous battlefield, this Titan Clan palace was noticeably roomier, even allowing opponents to spread their wings and fly high in the air, further increasing the difficulty of our attacks.

Almost instantly, as the parasitized dragons flapped their wings, they were already almost upon us!

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Feeling the menacing aura approaching head-on, Yonir, Grey Elder, and Elder Bing all exploded with immense aura around them, rushing to Leo Ray's side, their aged yet resounding chanting spiraling outward, while other main force subordinates all showcased their abilities, revealing their weapons.

"Defensive formation!"

Broy and Konet reacted swiftly as well, quickly directing the Dwarf Elves toward Leo Ray, while 10 Tier 6 Alchemical Golems and over 30 Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets were deployed to the perimeter, standing in readiness.

As for Serene and the other dragons along with Red Night, facing former clan members, despite myriad mixed emotions inside, they transformed into dragons, their golden eyes flickering with the fires of rage.

"Despite their sheer number, regeneration takes time; as long as we seize the opportunity, victory is not impossible!"

Leo Ray swung his large hand, summoning 10 Tier 6 Magic Giant Dragons and 50 Tier 5 Magic Dragons, encouraging: "As long as we seize the opportunity, strive to eliminate the culprit hiding behind the scenes, we can still tip the scales towards victory!"

Upon hearing Leo Ray's encouragement, our group's strong fighters responded in unison, swiftly engaging the opponent under Leo Ray's command.

In the midst of it all, the sprawling Titan Clan palace reverberated with dragon roars, chants, and the clash of weapons and claws, everywhere dazzling with fierce sword and axe lights, shimmering magic radiance, and the fiery frenzy of dragon breath, making the already scorching hall even hotter.

Facing at least 30 Tier 6 enemies and hundreds of Tier 5 enemies, under Leo Ray's adept command, although our combat power paled compared to the adversaries, we held our ground, fighting back fiercely.

Swords flashing coldly shattered dragon scales, dragon claws covered in purple crystals slammed into Alchemy Puppets, while Magic Giant Dragons and Parasitic Giant Dragons clashed and collided, various dragon breaths spurted in turns, causing flames and ice, poison mist, and ear-piercing sonic booms to ripple out.

Before long, despite Leo Ray's adept command, constantly enabling our strong fighters to avoid enemy encirclement, reinforcing torn defense gaps, the decline quickly became apparent in our camp, with quite a few Alchemy Puppets and summoned creatures downed or directly destroyed.

Facing those clearly targeting encirclement of former clan members, though Serene, Red Night, and other dragons understood that they were no longer truly clan members but were merely shells being exploited, it still greatly affected their performance, no longer as mighty as at the start.

Other strong fighters in our group, despite not being too affected, began gasping due to continuous life-and-death combat, even with ongoing consumption of high tier magic potions and scrolls, their attacks began declining.

But that's not the worst of it; even more alarming to everyone was that these dragons parasitized by purple crystals showed a marked improvement compared to earlier.

Due to more comprehensive coverage of purple crystals over their bodies, they're not only difficult to defeat, but their regeneration speed has also quickened. Those vacant white pupils radiated with purple light, flickering with eerie cold glow that constantly struck terror into everyone's hearts.

"Haha, ants, let's see how much longer you can last!"

Soon, the culprit's proud voice resonated once again, sinisterly saying: "Today nobody will leave the Lonely King's palace, nor this Dragon Nest!"

"Whale Fall Thunder Explosion!"

After downing a frenzied roaring Sound Dragon, Leo Ray's forehead was already covered in sweat.

Unnoticed, we had already fallen into a complete downturn, starting our retreat.

In other words, we were thoroughly cornered.

If this continues, destruction is the sole outcome.
