"Hiss—So, you're telling me he's equivalent to three White Crow Squads by himself!?"

"Terrifying indeed..."

...

Meanwhile, within this country, in the plaza where the Dragon God Altar was located, a 'trial assembly' was in progress.

Shrine Maiden sisters, Renea and Dottia, were bound and kneeling on a high platform made of wood, which was smeared with flammable oil.

An elderly shaman dressed in ceremonial garments, holding a torch, stood beside the towering wooden pile, his face pale.

Around the altar stood dozens of clergy in ceremonial attire, including several members of the Elders Council, while the square was surrounded by citizens of this country.

"Renea, Dottia, you traitors of the faith, as Shrine Maidens of the Dragon God, you have betrayed the Great Dragon God. Do you comprehend the depth of your sins?"

The shaman shouted accusatorially.

Fear filled his heart.

He had been woken up from his sleep by a servant early this morning, still drowsy, but a piece of news had instantly startled him into full alertness.

Renea and Dottia had actually returned from the 'Roaring Great Waterfall'!

Such an event had never occurred before; once taken by the Dragon God, one would have to spend the rest of one's life by the Roaring Great Waterfall until death.

Upon inquiring carefully, the shaman, who didn't have much life left, was almost frightened to death on the spot.

The sisters had actually conspired with that foreign invader to murder the Dragon God!

No wonder the roars of the Great Dragon God were so loud yesterday and went on for so long... It seemed He was extremely angry.

However, fortunately, by evening, things had calmed down. That despicable foreigner, no matter how formidable, surely couldn't be a match for the Great Dragon God. Presumably, he had already been devoured by the Great Dragon God.

Now, the issue that needed to be addressed was how to face the wrath of the Great Dragon God...

As Shrine Maidens, Renea and Dottia's act of rebellion meant that this country could hardly be absolved from blame.

Now, the only option was to proactively sacrifice these two women to the Dragon God, to signify that this was purely their own doing and not related to this country, in hopes of appeasing the anger of the Dragon God...

"Wanting to live, to live freely—what is so wrong about such a desire? Where lies the crime?"

Renea, tied to the high platform, about to be burned to death, had no trace of fear on her face, only determination and rage.

After personally using the Serpent Slayer Spearhead to stab the Dragon God's body, she had undergone a transformation, in body and mind, her willpower unrecognizably stronger than before.

The once imposing and frightening Elders and shaman now seemed unprecedentedly insignificant in her eyes.

"Renea..."

Dottia turned her head to stare blankly at her sister, her eyes filled with both pride and sadness.

"Stubborn fools!" The shaman's eyes bulged, and he took a few steps forward, his torch nearing the oil-coated wooden platform.

Just then.

"Whoosh—"

The screeching sound of air being torn apart was heard overhead as a figure shrouded with lightning, like a deity, fell from the sky like a shooting star.

The figure descended rapidly, but just before touching the ground, he stopped abruptly, lightly touching down in a manner completely contrary to the laws of physics, an act that would have Newton flipping his coffin lid.

This sight immediately stunned everyone present.

Xue Jing, with an unflappable expression, reached out and snuffed out the torch in the bewildered old shaman's hand.

"Tss—"

Amid the sizzling sound of the extinguished flame, Xue Jing indifferently said,

"What's the matter, Mr. Shaman? Is this torch for lighting a cake candle? Planning a celebration of some sort?"

The old shaman, not wearing an interpretation earpiece, couldn't understand a word and merely stammered:

"Your... Your Majesty."

How could this be? He's actually not dead!?

And what about the Great Dragon God?

It can't be... impossible!

Xue Jing ignored him, leapt onto the platform, and approached the Shrine Maiden sisters.

"Xue Jing!"

Seeing him, Renea was overwhelmed with excitement, her eyes welling with tears, her voice choked up.

"You're alive... that's wonderful..."

Then, a possibility she had not dared believe until now crossed her mind.

"If you're alive... then the Dragon God..."

Xue Jing made a cutting gesture with his hand, swiftly severing the ropes binding them, then took out interpretation earpieces, fitted one into Renea's ear, and tucked her disheveled hair behind it. He then nodded and smiled, saying,

"Mission accomplished."

"Renea, with your help, I've slain the Dragon God."

"Be proud, for you are the most legendary Shrine Maiden ever."

Upon hearing this, Renea leapt up and hugged Xue Jing, dangling from him, sobbing,

"This is wonderful... it's so wonderful!!"

"Sister... the Dragon God is dead, we've survived, we're free!"

Upon hearing this, Dottia felt dizzy, hardly daring to believe it.

Having not known Xue Jing before and being more reserved in nature, she held back her excitement and asked in a soft voice,

"Your... Your Majesty, may I hug you?"

Xue Jing was slightly taken aback but soon nodded and gently smiled, "Yes, of course."

Though Dottia didn't have an earpiece and couldn't understand Xue Jing's words, seeing his nod, she stepped forward, joining her sister in embracing Xue Jing, burying her head in his chest and breaking into sobs.

The richness of Dottia's figure, far surpassing the slender Renea, startled Xue Jing with its surprising softness.

He patted the sisters' backs, letting them cry out their emotions.

...

What followed was quite straightforward.

After learning what the Elders Council and the shaman intended to do to the Shrine Maiden sisters, Xue Jing struck each of them with a bolt of lightning, killing them all on the spot.
