Reincarnated With Three Unique Skills

Chapter 330 Dragon Emperor

Despite their fervent shouts of worship, the Moon God Artemes remained silent, his figure still locked in a gaze of despair at the overwhelming Void Expanse.

The Heroes stood, their expressions shifting from reverence to confusion.

Suddenly, mocking laughter echoed across the tense air.

"HAHAHAHA!"

A swirling portal of light erupted, and all eyes turned solemn as another imposing figure emerged.

He was broad-shouldered with golden markings etched across his sharp features, radiating authority. Following him were more men of striking handsomeness, each adorned with unique marks that symbolized their might.

"Dragon Emperor? Perfect timing, we were just missing your presence," Phoenix Empress chuckled, trying to hide the cold wrath within her.

"Hehe heh, good Phoenix Empress. I expect nothing less." Dragon Emperor grinned, unbothered.

The Dragon Emperor exuded dominance and majesty. His shimmering golden robe bore intricate dragon motifs edged in platinum, and his broad shoulders were adorned with a mantle woven from the scales of ancient dragons. Atop his head rested a crown—a coiled golden dragon clutching a blazing sun, adorned with rubies and diamonds. Around his neck hung the Heart of the Dragon, a legendary jewel said to hold the essence of his ancestors.

In his hand, he wielded a golden scepter crowned with a dragon clutching a radiant pearl, and each step he took resonated with a faint, thunderous hum, as though the earth itself acknowledged his supreme presence. The aura surrounding him seemed to embody the pride and grandeur of the dragon lineage.

The Dragons are almost equal to Demons in terms of raw physical power. But some of them had rare skills and Elemental Manipulation power, that's why they were considered in a league of their own.

The Heroes, startled by his arrival, instinctively stepped back, their expressions tense in the face of another formidable figure.

The laughter that echoed belonged to none other than the Dragon Emperor, Darius, his tone dripping with mockery.

This immediately drew the ire of Hero Emperor Julian, whose fiery pride flared.

"What's the meaning of this, Darius? Don't think we're pushovers!" Julian growled, his grip tightening around his radiant golden sword.

Darius smirked, entirely unbothered by Julian's hostility. He casually stepped forward, his scepter gleaming with power, and replied, "Relax, Julian. I meant no harm... just amusement." His voice carried an edge of condescension. "It's truly laughable how the mighty Hero Emperor, the so-called symbol of justice, kneels before that pitiful excuse of a god."

Darius gestured toward Artemes, whose trembling figure floated helplessly.

"Look at him," Darius continued with a chuckle. "The Moon God—groveling before that being, frozen in fear. Truly pathetic. And yet, here you are, bowing your head to such a failure. Tell me, Julian, where's your pride?"

Julian clenched his fists, rage bubbling within, but a cold realization struck him: the Moon God Artemes wasn't behind the entity that loomed over them. Instead, he was cowering before it.

The unsettling question hung in the minds of all present: What exactly happened before we arrived? Who-or what-is this entity?

Julian, trying to mask his uncertainty, retorted sharply, "Still, Darius, you underestimate the divine far too much. Just like your reckless ambition, your arrogance will lead to your downfall." His tone was cutting as he continued, "And speaking of ambition, we've heard whispers... Words have reached us that you've been colluding with demons. Is it true, Darius?"

"Tsk."

A faint tsk escaped Dragon Emperor Darius, dismissing the accusation with a wave of his hand. He turned his attention instead to Claudia, his sharp gaze narrowing with amusement.

"Where is that worm?" Darius demanded, his voice dripping with venom. His massive frame loomed closer, casting a shadow over Claudia and Vira.

"I never thought I'd live to see a mere human capable of slaughtering millions of my men." His voice rose, echoing with unchecked fury. "You know who I mean, Claudia. I want his head. Now!"

"Pfft..." Bella couldn't hold back her giggles, her shoulders shaking as she found the Dragon Emperor's demand for Aengus' head utterly ridiculous. She knew full well that the very head Darius demanded could obliterate his entire existence in an instant.

"Ah, Bella, quiet!" Aria whispered, nudging her sister wife sharply. Her eyes darted nervously to Darius' now darkened and furious face.

Claudia, however, stood unbothered, her expression full of amusement as she gazed up at Darius.

"Your men got exactly what they deserved, Darius," Claudia said, her voice calm but simmering with anger. "And if I were in my prime..." she paused, her eyes narrowing as her tone sharpened, "...I'd have slapped you into oblivion for daring to invade my empire with such pitiful strategies."

Her fiery words seemed to cut through the air as she continued, her tone laced with a mixture of contempt and grief.

"Because of you, countless female warriors now live in despair. Their hope, their trust in males-they've been shattered. You've left a scar on their spirits, one that may never heal."

Claudia's fury was evident, her fiery aura momentarily flaring as she stared Darius down. Her words hung heavy in the air, silencing even those who might have been inclined to side with the Dragon Emperor.

Dragon Emperor Darius sneered, his golden eyes glinting with disdain.

"Still, they couldn't compare to my men, whom I've raised and nurtured with endless resources. He's a coward if he allowed you to fall into such a state," he sneered, his voice dripping with arrogance. "But mark my words, I will have my revenge."

Claudia raised an eyebrow, her gaze unwavering as she flicked her finger toward the Void Expanse, which was tearing apart the very fabric of space.

"Cowardly?" she asked coolly. "Why don't you try touching that thing? Let's see how brave you are..."

Darius' eyes narrowed into slits as he looked at the massive Void Expanse, which seemed to distort and consume everything in its wake. The sheer force of the expanse was enough to obliterate everything around it, and even a god had failed to stand against it.

The Dragon Emperor's resolve wavered momentarily. He could feel the oppressive weight of the void, but he quickly masked his fear with a serious, calm demeanor.

"I may be arrogant, Claudia, but I'm not stupid. Clearly, this entity was summoned by these damn demons," he said, pointing toward the empty space in the distance.
