Following a ripple of void energy fluctuation, a large army descended into the empty city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the forefront of the army was a female knight clad in purple battle robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding a giant dragon, her cloak dragging on the ground, holding a lance, possessing a heroic bearing and valiant manner—this was the eighth member of the Champions Alliance, the team's weakest member, Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Valkorath Realm Alexander mentioned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such dense magical elements!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella scanned her surroundings, surveying this new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Isabella, welcome to our Valkorath Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unfamiliar, cold voice sounded ethereally beside Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella's body stiffened slightly, then she slowly turned her head to look beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some unknown point, an ordinary old man dressed in hemp clothes, radiating no aura whatsoever, had appeared beside Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three breaths later, the colossal dragon beneath Isabella finally reacted, issuing an angry, warning roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Isabella, your dragon is too noisy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man leaned on his staff. He looked at Isabella, meeting her gaze, and lightly tapped his staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the colossal dragon instantly became mute, and its body seemed to have been turned into a specimen, unable to move even the slightest bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella made a swallowing motion; her heart was filled with panic at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the old man before her intended her harm, she might already be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no name.

It belongs to you. You may give it a name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella nodded, glanced at the giant dragon beneath her feet, her intention clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled, tapped his staff again, and the giant dragon quickly recovered its freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Legendary level colossal dragon no longer roared angrily but stared at the old man with incomparable terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella paid it no mind, reaching out to gently pat the colossal dragon's head, constantly soothing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the colossal dragon spread its wings and flew, carrying Isabella and the old man into the sky, overlooking the unfamiliar city and land below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This entire region is mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded, his voice calm and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then this place shall be called Iris City henceforth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the Iris Queen; this was Isabella's starting point in the Valkorath Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Orion and Edward cleared the fungal creatures, the number of fungi on the continent had already dwindled significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the clearing progress of the forces Orion left behind in Valkorath, Alexander, after discussing with Edward, had guided Isabella here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this point, the Deputy Commander had agreed readily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, the vast majority of the continent's Legendary level fungal creatures had already been killed by Edward, and their life essence had fallen into Orion's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining fungal creatures were used for training troops and accumulating foundation, targeted at subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, regarding these last dregs, upon Alexander's request, the Deputy Commander didn't mind letting the new member Isabella come and get a share of the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, they could demonstrate the strength and generosity of the Champions Alliance to Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were to become mutually supportive allies in the future. Besides, with the forces Orion left behind in Valkorath, the cleanup progress was truly too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, adding one Isabella wouldn't speed up the progress much either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are our enemies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the city, Isabella was very direct, immediately asking for the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the information Alexander had told her, her purpose in coming to the Valkorath Realm this time was to kill enemies and accumulate resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Straight west, all the way to the sea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man answered every question, raised his staff, and pointed out the direction where the fungal creatures were located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go check out the enemy first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal dragon roared and leaped into the air again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time, the colossal dragon carried only Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man paid it no mind. His figure flickered and vanished from the sight of Isabella's troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>North, Soraya City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward, teaching Elara in the magical plant garden, looked up, glanced towards the west, then retracted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mentor, what are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing.
