Chapter 507: Spirit Servants with Independent Thought!

When the massive, majestic dragon head emerged from the clouds and spoke in human speech, everyone present was stunned into silence by sheer shock.

In any world, dragonkind nearly always stands at the apex of the food chain.

And dragonkind is proud; under normal circumstances, they would never submit to any other race.

Even the kingdom’s people aside, Nigen, as captain of the Sun Scripture, was a prominent figure within the Siren Theocracy.

So he had seen dragonkind before—candidly, if it were an ordinary dragon, his power as the Archangel of Majesty, the highest-tier angel, gave him ample confidence to defeat it.

But this golden dragon before him now—its size, the pressure it exuded—clearly could not be an ordinary dragon.

The Siren Theocracy had stood on this continent for years, and thus knew many things unknown to common folk; as leader of one of the Six Color Scriptures, Nigen too was aware of certain secrets.

Humans were merely the weakest race in this world, while other powerful races included angelkind, elfkind, undead, and dragonkind.

The strongest among dragonkind were called Dragon Kings. Yet while ordinary people knew only of Dragon Kings, the Theocracy knew that this world harbored several True Dragon Kings who wielded “Primordial Magic.”

And Nigen now strongly suspected that the golden dragon before him might be one of those True Dragon Kings mentioned in the Theocracy’s secrets.

To be honest, when Kankinryu was summoned, Shengzai himself had not expected that the spirit servant from the Dark Crow World would manifest here in physical form, radiating such overwhelming pressure.

“Kill that so-called highest-tier angel!”

Hearing Shengzai’s command, the Kankinryu circling in the sky let out a roar.

“Is it you, barbarians, who have angered my master? Then pay for this sin with your lives!”

Hearing Kankinryu speak in human words, Shengzai was momentarily stunned—he had not expected the spirit servant to possess such high intelligence in this world.

If in other worlds the Twenty-Four Constellations’ spirit servants were merely like NPCs in a game, then this Kankinryu was practically a sentient being with independent thought…

Thinking of this, Shengzai gazed in astonishment at the Kankinryu in the sky, then glanced at Yarbed, who stood protectively behind the Bone King, and murmured: “Wait… could it be…?”

While Shengzai wore a look of confusion, the Sun Scripture’s members were now entirely consumed by terror.

Seeing the enraged golden dragon, Nigen gritted his teeth and ordered the summoned Archangel of Majesty to cast a seventh-tier spell—Divine Smite!

Seventh-tier magic was a realm utterly beyond the reach of any human spellcaster.

Yet when a colossal beam of holy light descended from the heavens and struck Kankinryu, golden lightning suddenly erupted around its body; the holy light shattered against those lightning bolts without even piercing its defenses.

Kankinryu’s counterattack was simple: it dove from the sky, opened its massive jaws, and swallowed the so-called highest-tier angel whole, biting it cleanly in two.

Watching their strongest Wangpai —the Archangel of Majesty—being devoured in a single bite with no chance to struggle, every member of the Sun Scripture instantly lost all will to fight.

Even Nigen, their captain, collapsed to his knees, his spirit shattered, utterly devoid of any desire to continue fighting.

Watching the Sun Scripture’s instant collapse, the kingdom’s forces stared at the golden dragon circling above and swallowed hard.

The Sun Scripture losing their will to fight was understandable—they were facing a golden dragon too awe-inspiring to comprehend.

Merely seeing its condescending gaze and posture, their first thought was that this was no being humans could ever defeat.

Against such an invincible force, whether the Sun Scripture or the kingdom’s knights, they were all but ants.

Compared to the stunned expressions of the Sun Scripture and the kingdom’s knights, the Bone King’s expression remained calm upon seeing Kankinryu.

Through his Jianding skill, he had already seen that the golden dragon circling above was a dragon of approximately level 85.

The Archangel of Majesty had been merely a level 45 monster in YGGDRASIL; such a vast level gap made it perfectly normal for the Archangel to be no match for the dragon.

Kankinryu’s presence confirmed for the Bone King that the man calling himself “Shiuroh” was surely one of this world’s level-capped supreme Qiangzhe .

“My master, the angel who angered you has been punished. Shall I also eliminate these humans?”

Hearing Kankinryu’s words, the Sun Scripture members froze in terror; Nigen, their captain, immediately dropped to his knees and begged: “Great one, spare our lives—we were merely obeying orders!”

“If you spare us, we will serve you.”

Faced with life or death, Nigen and his men betrayed their former faith without a second thought.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to flee—they knew that if they ran, they’d lose even the chance to beg for mercy.

The highest-tier angel, comparable to a demon god, had been devoured like a snack; against such a foe, victory was unthinkable, and even fleeing seemed an impossible luxury.

Shengzai was not the Bone King; now he was the kingdom’s third prince, and keeping Nigen and his men alive held greater strategic value for him.

After a moment’s thought, Shengzai turned to Gejief, who had been standing by in stunned silence, and said: “Commander, I am employed by His Royal Highness, the Third Prince of the Kingdom.

Will you take charge of escorting these men back and delivering them to the Third Prince?”

Upon hearing Shengzai’s words, both Gejief and Nigen wore expressions of overwhelming relief.

Gejief was glad because, despite everything, these men were members of one of the Theocracy’s Six Color Scriptures; killing them outright would inevitably spark a diplomatic crisis between the kingdom and the Theocracy.

If they could be brought back to the kingdom, the Third Prince’s skill in diplomacy could leverage this situation to pressure the Siren Theocracy and extract concessions from them.

Nigen and his men were glad simply because they were alive.

Once handed over to the kingdom, their status as members of the Sun Scripture guaranteed they wouldn’t be killed—the Theocracy would surely move to rescue them.
