Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Death of the Dragon
A journey that should have taken only half an hour was stretched to five or six hours by Heine's slow flying, thanks to her efforts.
By the time Aegon finished his business, 'The Magia Dragon' was less than ten kilometers away.
The scales on the dragon statue were already clearly visible to Aegon and Irene.
'The Magia Dragon' was a very special guild. Although located in the southern part of Guiltina, the south wasn't some barren land. Compared to bustling cities, this ancient guild appeared somewhat desolate and lonely.
"Heine, tell Mera to proceed at full speed."
The aircraft slowly descended near the 'The Magia Dragon' building.
Mera bowed slightly. "Lord Aegon, Lady Irene, we have arrived."
Heine and Juliet pushed open the doors from both sides.
Suddenly, a massive figure appeared in front of them.
A brown dragon with a white mane around its neck, a red jewel on its head, and a pair of antlers perched on the second floor, looking down at Aegon and Irene.
"Who are you? Why visit 'The Magia Dragon'?"
This was Elefseria, the guild master of 'The Magia Dragon,'.
Juliet angrily placed a hand on her hip and pointed at Elefseria. "Get down here! I won't allow anyone to look at Lord Aegon and Lady Irene with such an attitude!"
The brown dragon, however, wasn't angered. His pupils shrank, and he grinned slyly. "Hehe, pretty girl!"
Then he transformed into an old man with a white beard, wearing a wizard hat, landing on the first floor.
Juliet, clearly displeased with his perverted grin, scoffed, "What an ugly old man."
Elefseria looked stunned. "What?"
Seeing Irene and Meira, his eyes gleamed.
"Such beauties, hehe..."
As for Aegon, he completely ignored him.
Elefseria's body shrank abruptly, performing a teleportation spell, aiming for Irene and Mera.
But he didn't get his wish. A black dragon claw seized him!
Feeling suffocated, Elefseria, who had shrunk, felt like his bones were about to be crushed!
The pain made his eyes bulge!
"How... can this be?!"
Fully transformed into a dragon, his physical strength was incomparable to ordinary wizards, yet the red-haired young man before him was effortlessly crushing him.
With Aegon's dragon claw tightening, the sound of bones creaking and Elefseria's painful screams echoed throughout 'The Magia Dragon.'
Aegon squinted, baring his teeth in a grin, but in the shrinking eyes of the dragon, he looked like a red-haired demon!
Elefseria deeply regretted now. That golden-haired girl dared to scold him to his face.
Obviously, she wasn't afraid of him being a giant dragon. He dared to make advances, trying to take advantage of Irene and Mera.
Initially, Aegon wanted to crush the dragon without hesitation.
Irene blinked, her delicate hand resting on his arm as he held Elefseria, a gentle smile playing on her lips as she shook her head slightly,
"Alright, don't we still need to ask him questions?"
"I... will... tell... everything."
Seeming to grasp at a lifeline, Elefseria answered with great effort, his expression filled with pain.
Aegon casually tossed Elefseria aside, reverting to his original form. Elefseria huddled in the corner, trembling uncontrollably, unable to get up.
His bones were crushed, his organs seemed to be bleeding, and every breath was excruciatingly painful.
Yet Aegon and Irene evidently had no intention of treating him. They sat down on chairs brought by Mera and Heine, crossing their legs casually.
With knee-high black boots and slender legs, Irene looked stunning, but Elefseria dared not open his eyes, knowing he would be crushed if he did.
"I ask, you answer."
"If... I answer, can you consider sparing me?"
Elefseria was unwilling to die like this. His desire had remained unfulfilled for a hundred years.
Aegon chuckled lightly. "I can consider it."
'Consider giving you a swift death.'
With a pained and reluctant expression, Elefseria finally sighed, "Yes."
"I heard you issued a commission related to the Five Dragon Gods of Guiltina?"
Elefseria, worried he might have revealed too much, allowed his survival instinct to overcome the pain as he answered in detail, "Yes, the commission was to seal the Five Dragon Gods of Guiltina. However, no one has been able to complete it for a hundred years."
"Where are the Five Dragon Gods located?"
"Other than knowing that the Water Dragon God Mercphobia is in Ermina, I don't know the rest."
Seeing Aegon squinting, the dragon became extremely agitated:
"It's true! Due to losing my heart, I've lost most of my memories and abilities. There are many things I can't remember!"
Crossing her eyes, a red glow attached to the dragon's chest, Irene then looked at Aegon and nodded slightly, "It's true, his heart is indeed missing."
"Where is your heart?"
Answering this question, Elefseria's face inevitably showed a trace of pride: "Over a hundred years ago, in the battle against the Earth Dragon God Dogramag in order to kill him, I paid the price of my heart."
Aegon nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you transformed into a dragon but are so weak."
As for the slain dragon god, he had no interest.
Being called weak to his face, Elefseria dared not retort. With Aegon's strength, calling him weak was indeed not an issue...
Although the red-haired youth in front of him had not revealed his true form, the black dragon claw just now definitely belonged to the Black Dragon in the Apocalypse!
Aegon lightly tapped the armrest of his chair, "So, apart from the Water Dragon's location, you don't know the whereabouts of the others."
He nodded helplessly, "That's right..."
"What use are you then?"
Just as Aegon was about to kill Elefseria, someone acted faster... Irene.
"No..." Elefseria's voice abruptly stopped.
Transforming into a red giant dragon, Irene directly crushed the dragon, who didn't even have a chance to say his last words, underfoot, sneering down at the dragon reduced to a puddle of mud.
"Am I someone you can covet?"
Even if Aegon had intended to spare the dragon, Irene had no intention of doing so.
Since the moment he harbored thoughts about Irene and Mera, Elefseria was already a dead man in her eyes.
Elefseria's face was unrecognizable, the genius dragon-slayer who had once killed the Earth Dragon God Dogramag died tragically in his own guild, carrying the regret of not being able to witness the sealing of the Five Dragon Gods with him, and the obsession with his guild members' families.
"Irene-Sama, well done!"
Juliet the seal clapped, Heine and Mera remained indifferent.
"..." Aegon's silence was deafening.
In front of him, she seemed too girlish, making Aegon almost forget that she was also the ruthless Dragon Queen, the crimson despair of the Alvarez Empire.
The contrast with her was too great.
'Here goes my previous experience points...'
Seeing the man's expression somewhat strange, Irene was slightly puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Aegon quickly made a decision, 'Well, since experience of killing him is gone, let's make it up with you, as it was my debt in the first place.'
He shook his head, "Nothing, I just feel like your hands shouldn't be doing this kind of thing. It'll dirty your hands."
Turning back into a human again, Irene had a slightly amused expression as she whispered softly, "Well... then I won't intervene as much in the future."
The bloody mosaic on the ground was casually thrown away by Irene's magic, while Juliet and Heine were busy cleaning the castle.
The reason was simple. Irene took a liking to this castle. After cleaning it up, she could either uproot it and take it away directly, or use it as a temporary residence.
Juliet, mopping the floor on the second floor, grumbled as she rested the mop on the floor, puffing up her cheeks, "Really, Lord Aegon should have avoided people."
Heine gave her a disapproving glance and patted her shoulder, "Clean up your mess. It's not like you haven't seen it before."
Although it was regrettable not to obtain the whereabouts of the other four Dragon Gods, Aegon was not in the mood to think about the Four Dragon Gods' matters at the moment. His large hand gently stroked Irene's waist.
Feeling the change beneath him, her slightly red face with a hint of teasing smile, she extended her finger and lightly tapped Aegon's forehead,
"I knew you'd like this."
