Chapter 944: The Demigod Serpent's Bloodline
Rumble...!
Ten minutes ago, the snowy mountain peak suddenly shook violently before plummeting over thirty meters lower.
The Divine Serpent Empire's forces were immediately into confusion and disorder by the mountain peak's sudden collapse. They may have been aiming for it, but they had also stopped for some time.
As such, no one expected it to happen so suddenly. Clearly, the inflicted damage was more than previously thought.
After Emperor Carpus's initial surprise, a goading smile soon hung on his smile.
"It seems you came in vain. The Pure Moon Palace has been crushed to death. There's no reason for you to intervene anymore," Emperor Carpus said smugly.
Ultimately, he did not want to fight the UN if he could avoid it.
After all, even if he could borrow the power of the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent to kill Astoria and all the red dragons present, their deaths would hardly affect the power of the UN.
So long as its prophecized overlord was alive, the UN's position would remain strong, even if all its experts died.
The prophecized overlord was simply too strong.
Nevertheless, Astoria and the red dragons remained unfazed by the sudden collapse of the mountain peak. Even the situation within the collapsed cave had been made known to them.
While Vaan had arrived quietly without notice, he was still the supreme leader and dragon god of the Red Dragon God.
Kemun and the other red dragons were made aware of his presence when he used his powers to hold the collapsing cave before dropping it. They could also guess where the Pure Moon Palace's people had disappeared off to.
Only Astoria would have remained ignorant had Kemun not informed her with a silent voice transmission.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Knowing Vaan's presence was in the vicinity, much of the weight on Astoria's heart was released.
Vaan had disappeared for two weeks without a warning.
If not for the news coming from Gehenna's side, everyone would have thought he had suffered a mishap. The faith in the UN would have also collapsed overnight.
The Gold-horned Mutant Serpent immediately fired its scorching-hot solar beam after a short charge. It was a lightning-fast attack that left a small window of time to react.
Kemun had not emerged from the cloud of floating snow on the other mountain peak at all before the solar beam struck his supposed location.
The intense heat from the solar beam instantly melted the snow and punched a hole right through the mountain.
Emperor Carpus didn't think Kemun could survive such an attack. Thus, he stared mockingly at Astoria, who was on her own.
"Your backer is gone. Do you still insist on interfering with my..."
Emperor Carpus didn't finish his words when he noticed Kemun emerging from a newly formed spatial rift.
Although Kemun survived the fast attack, he wasn't completely unscathed. The solar beam had scorched part of his left side before he escaped.
Nevertheless, no one paid any attention to Emperor Carpus. Kemun and Astoria's attention wholly focused on the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent with grave expressions.
"Be careful, Lord Kemun. This mutant serpent has the Golden Dragon Bloodline," Astoria
warned.
Kemun had already sensed the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent's faint draconic aura before and found it a little suspicious.
However, he never expected it to be the Golden Dragon Bloodline, which was superior to his own dragon bloodline. After all, the mutant serpent wasn't a descendant of true dragons. It must have obtained its Golden Dragon Bloodline from elsewhere.
"You're well-informed, Human. You actually recognize this Lord's Golden Dragon Bloodline," the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent said to Astoria, not putting Kemun in its eyes.
After Kemun suffered from the solar beam attack, he lost ten percent of battle power. He wasn't its opponent then, and he definitely wouldn't be its opponent now.
Kemun felt a little depressed.
Meanwhile, Astoria still maintained her calmness despite the clear difference in their power.
"I don't just recognize it; I also have it!"
Shortly after Astoria said that, she immediately exerted her golden dragon aura and tried to suppress the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent with her awakened bloodline.
