Terrifyingly, the spiked club ignited with a layer of blood-red flames as it smashed violently towards Ssorin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssorin transformed into the shape of a giant lizard. In this form, both his combat power and size increased, and he needed no weapons, as his teeth and skin were the most powerful weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damned ogre!

Ssorin's body expanded once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correspondingly, Ssorin's strength and self-healing ability also increased considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Filthy ogre, today I will show you the true difference between you and a dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Ssorin also possessed dragon blood within him; he had some dragon genes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssorin was not like Slagor; he truly belonged to the dragon race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, most lizardfolk were merely the lowest tier of dragonkin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssorin completed his self-enhancement; his defensive capabilities increased, and bony spikes grew out from many parts of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldous was not about to be intimidated by this; his attacks instead grew fiercer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Theodore, clad in sacred armor and wielding a one-handed greatsword, followed behind Aldous, also launching sharp attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't escape!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Orion's cold voice rang out, freezing Lokiviria, who had been about to turn and flee, in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssorin was besieged and fighting back, meaning the situation was irreconcilable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lokiviria wanted to flee, but Orion's pressure locked onto him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Orion had been watching the other battle just moments ago, his peripheral vision had constantly tracked Lokiviria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Orion, this truly is just a misunderstanding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Insectoid race is willing to pay any price to end this war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lokiviria's voice was polite and sincere.

Their war would only end when the enemy was exterminated, or they themselves collapsed from exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unwilling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The opportunity has slipped away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion withdrew his gaze from Aldous. The siege of Ssorin by Aldous and Prince Theodore wouldn't conclude anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion had also realized that Prince Theodore was still holding back, unwilling to reveal his trump cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the plan to gather intelligence had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any last words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lokiviria heard this sentence, he was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lokiviria looked down, staring at the trident protruding from his heart, his eyes first filled with disbelief, then transforming into overwhelming fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Orion had disregarded all conventions!
