How dare you mimic the shape of my kind? I will finish you!\"The black dragon roared, opening its jaws wide to form a devastating ball of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Draco showed not the slightest hint of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He countered by opening his jaws, forming a blazing red fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two dragons locked eyes, their glares sharp with hostility—then, in perfect sync, they released their attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both blasts tore through the sky at blinding speed—then collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive explosion rocked the sky, shaking the air and ravaging the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature spiked, and shimmering heat waves distorted the sky as if the atmosphere itself were burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick smoke blanketed the heavens, but slowly, it began to fade—along with the last traces of the two powerful attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down in the square, the people finally let out a collective sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them had expected Draco's attack to rival the black dragon's might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could your attack be as strong as mine?!\"The black dragon roared, stunned and disbelieving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\" Draco let out a booming laugh. \"You foolish lizard! Did you really think you were the most powerful creature in existence? Too bad—I'm just as strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrogant taunt only fueled the black dragon's fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard! Don't get cocky just because you managed to withstand one of my attacks!\"The black dragon roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purplish-black aura exploded from its body, accompanied by a flash of dark lightning that cracked through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a powerful flap of its wings, it lunged toward Draco.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Draco didn't retreat. He spread his wings and charged forward to meet the attack head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the two were locked in another fierce clash that shook the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Orion, who had been watching the battle, didn't remain idle. He knew their advantage wouldn't last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the black dragon truly unleashed its full strength, they would be overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cassiopeia, Lyra, Corvus—take support positions. Hydra, Phoenix, you're with me. We'll help Draco hold the line,\" Orion commanded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Orion!\" The five responded in unison, their voices full of resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Orion, Hydra, and Phoenix soared toward the raging battle, while Lyra, Corvus, and Cassiopeia remained near the square, ready to launch long-range attacks and protect the people below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion extended his left hand forward and raised his right hand to his chest, as if drawing an invisible bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a colossal avatar materialized behind him—a middle-aged man clad in golden armor, exuding a majestic and commanding presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone who saw him trembled instinctively, some even compelled to bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nyxveil, hear my call!\" Orion shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden-black bow shimmered into existence in his hand, perfectly mirrored by the massive weapon held by the radiant avatar behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion slowly drew the bowstring, and in a flash, a black arrow formed from the air—pulsing with deadly, concentrated energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About five hundred meters away, the black dragon battling Draco suddenly shivered with unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its gaze snapped to the massive avatar behind Orion, and it felt the arrow's chilling promise of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, it abandoned Draco and charged straight at Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that arrow hit, the damage would be catastrophic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" Draco cursed, stunned by the black dragon's sudden retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He beat his wings to give chase, but the black dragon was already too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think you can attack Orion without my permission?\" A cold voice snarled beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, the black dragon snapped its head around—and saw a phoenix diving in at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surprise strike slammed into it with brutal force, sending the black dragon hurtling backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the attack didn't end there. A massive wave of water erupted from nowhere, engulfing the black dragon's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the swirling depths, a nine-headed, dragon-like beast emerged, wrapping its powerful, muscular tail tightly around the black dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What—?!\"the black dragon gasped in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It struggled fiercely, but the creature's grip held firm. The coils tightened, leaving it almost powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, Draco and Phoenix launched their simultaneous attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draco opened his massive jaws, conjured a blazing red fireball, and hurled it toward the black dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Phoenix beat her wings, whipping up a roaring firestorm that surged straight at the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught in the devastating onslaught, the black dragon was helpless—it could only brace for impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black dragon's massive body was blasted away by the two devastating strikes, leaving the outcome uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hydra quickly released his grip and flew toward Draco and Phoenix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, everyone watched in tense silence, anxiety gripping their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did it work?\" Elina asked, biting her lower lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan stayed calm, his gaze sharp as he replied quietly, \"No. It didn't work. The dragon... is still alive and unharmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",925,"2026-05-30T06:57:16.060Z","2026-06-01T04:30:34.828Z",1,"novelbin.me","7b742d7926e66a9f18be51e902f6b954824102e7e083e4ad72f29645baf3b2ca","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-32","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-30",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
