"This!!"
The massive black dragon was completely different from its appearance outside. In the outside world, when Wang Xiaoming transformed into Nidhogg, he was generally around a hundred meters tall. However, after arriving in the Little Garden, Nidhogg's divine authority was recognized by the Little Garden's core, and Wang Xiaoming essentially gained a free power boost. His current body height was directly several thousand meters, making him look as colossal as a dragon floating in the dark clouds of the sky.
Wings as black as ink slowly unfurled, directly obscuring the world's end in the East District. On the massive dragon head, the eyes slowly opened, the golden vertical pupils emitting a faint light.
"Hmm~~~"
Having transformed into Nidhogg, Wang Xiaoming felt a surge of comfort. So this was the power of a three-digit existence, so exhilarating!
Nidhogg, the Dragon Pure-Blood of the Little Garden, possessed the power of a three-digit existence, and what he possessed was the Dragon Pure-Blood that governed the realm of death. Although there were countless individuals related to death within the Little Garden, Wang Xiaoming was very satisfied with this free ability.
"Then..."
Wang Xiaoming lowered his head, looking at the bewildered crowd on the ground.
"Wait here for a moment."
Wang Xiaoming flapped his wings, his feet directly collapsing a section of the ground, causing the original world's end in the East District to lose a large chunk of its landmass.
The massive black dragon directly soared into the sky, entering the clouds.
The dragon that had been summoned from within the clouds was momentarily stunned when it saw a black dragon suddenly flying up. A dragon, it wondered?
But then, as the final BOSS of the Gift Game, it understood that this was an enemy!
The dragon roared at Wang Xiaoming and immediately opened its huge mouth to pounce on him, and Wang Xiaoming also opened his mouth to pounce forward.
This was a battle between dragons! It was also Wang Xiaoming's first battle against a giant enemy.
However, Wang Xiaoming had always been one to fight unfairly. So, as the dragon opened its mouth to pounce, Wang Xiaoming opened his mouth and launched his attack at the same time.
Buzz buzz buzz——
Blue light spread from the tip of his tail to the back of his head, and a massive blue beam of light shot out from Wang Xiaoming's open mouth, directly blasting into the open mouth of the opposing dragon.
The atomic breath, with a temperature of hundreds of thousands of degrees, directly entered the dragon's stomach through its mouth, reaching its stomach in one step!
The terrifying heat instantly scorched the dragon's mouth and internal organs, causing it to twist its head and wail in pain.
Wang Xiaoming seized the opportunity and pounced, opening his mouth from below to bite the dragon's neck.
"Aww!!!"
The pain inside its body, coupled with the pain outside its neck, caused the dragon to wail.
But Wang Xiaoming did not delay at all. After biting its neck, he immediately performed a death roll he had learned from Crocodile-sensei!
Nidhogg's body after transforming into a dragon was thicker than the dragon summoned by Leticia, with an incredibly thick neck, so the neck muscles were very strong.
After Wang Xiaoming bit the dragon's neck, he immediately used his claws to hug its neck and then rolled.
The dragon's neck was directly twisted by Wang Xiaoming into a 90° backward bend, and it was still rapidly bending.
To prevent its neck from being directly snapped, the dragon had to roll its body in the direction of Wang Xiaoming's roll, and this roll directly exposed its abdomen.
Wang Xiaoming seized the opportunity and directly used his thick claws to deliver a heart-piercing blow to its chest.
The sharp claws directly pierced through the dragon's chest!
Aww!!!!
The pain caused the dragon's two claws to frantically scratch Wang Xiaoming's body, but Wang Xiaoming stubbornly bit its neck, maintaining a state where one claw pierced through its chest and the other claw hooked onto the wings on its back, not allowing it to break free.
Even though the dragon's claws scratched many bloody marks on Wang Xiaoming's back, causing blood to flow freely, it was useless.
Maintaining this posture, Wang Xiaoming's claws fiercely pierced through the dragon's chest, directly grabbing inside, and at the same time, his mouth and claws exerted force instantly.
Crack——
Aww!!!!!!
The dragon screamed miserably, the pupils in its wide eyes rapidly expanding, turning into circles, its body quickly losing its struggling power, and then it began to fall towards the ground.
Wang Xiaoming followed and fell to the ground. During the fall, he pulled out his claws, then released his mouth that had bitten off the dragon's neck, released the dragon's huge corpse, and also gave the dragon's corpse a kick, allowing the dragon's corpse to fall towards the world's end.
The dragon's corpse fell off the world's end in front of the crowd below, and then gradually dissipated into light and electricity during the fall.
In the sky, only Wang Xiaoming, transformed into a black dragon, was slowly lowering his claws.
Because Wang Xiaoming had unfolded the simulated star chart, he did not need to follow the battle requirements at all, he only needed to be responsible for resolving the battle, and the final battle was to pierce the dragon's heart!
Leticia was located in the dragon's heart. Leticia, who possessed the solar authority of Ophiuchus, was responsible for providing the power needed for the dragon's actions at the dragon's heart.
And what Wang Xiaoming did was to take out the dragon's heart, solve the dragon, and rescue Leticia.
Wang Xiaoming's claws slowly unfolded, and the heart that had been grasped by the claws had completely disappeared. A petite figure wearing a blue and white maid outfit was quietly lying in Wang Xiaoming's claws.
"Leticia, wake up, I've come to pick you up."
Wang Xiaoming, in his dragon form, lowered his voice as much as possible, but his voice was still like thunder.
The rumbling sound awakened Leticia, who was lying in his claws.
Having awakened, Leticia propped herself up with her hands, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the huge dragon head in front of her in confusion. A black dragon? What was going on? And why did she feel the master's presence from this dragon?
"Master?"
Leticia tilted her head and tentatively asked.
"Yes, Leticia, it's me."
On the huge dragon head, a human-like smile appeared.
Leticia looked at Wang Xiaoming's big face in surprise, and it took her a while to react.
"Master, you turned into... a dragon?"
"Yes, that's right. Your master has many identities, and even one that you would never expect."
On the black dragon's face, the human-like smile became more and more brilliant. After all, he had not used the identity of the original Vampire King yet.
"Although it was only for a short while, Leticia, I snatched you back. Welcome back."
Leticia looked at the dragon in front of her, slowly stood up, and raised her head to reveal an equally bright smile.
"Yes, I'm back, Master."
After entering the Little Garden, the vampire race worshiped dragons. The Dragon's Remnant Shadows that the vampire royal family could use were bestowed upon them by dragons. Now, they had a new master, and unexpectedly, this new master was also a dragon! This also meant that they had a new faith.
At this point, Leticia's demon lord game came to an end. The demon lord Leticia was defeated by Wang Xiaoming, the solar authority of Ophiuchus was stripped away, and the Little Garden Knight completely became history, leaving only Wang Xiaoming's maid Leticia!
★ fate/zero ★
378. Returning to the Danmachi World with the Maids
Leticia's solar authority was stripped away, and the Little Garden Knight no longer existed. Wang Xiaoming returned the solar authority of Ophiuchus to Black Rabbit on the spot.
Black Rabbit had a complicated expression when she took over the solar authority.
Her small eyes kept sizing up Wang Xiaoming, who had returned to his human form, pondering what this guy was really up to. Why was it that as the most famous pure-blooded dragon of the Norse, he was completely unaffected even after the Norse gods faced Ragnarok? This super dragon species, existing since ancient times, was actually disguised as a Celtic-style knight and claimed to be a newcomer from an unknown worldview.
“No wonder you knew so much after entering the Little Garden. So you were hiding so much!”
Stowing away the solar authority of Ophiuchus, Black Rabbit stared at Wang Xiaoming, unable to resist complaining.
No, no, no, Black Rabbit-sama, what you see is only the surface. Master has even deeper identities.
Leticia and the others were also complaining, but they didn't say it out loud. After all, only the Ouroboros knows about the Rama identity. In fact, Ouroboros even thinks Rama has joined their community.
However, they couldn't figure out why Rama and Nidhogg were the same person.
“Well, the Little Garden is a hellish place filled with scheming bastards. I don’t want to be plotted against.”
Wang Xiaoming looked as if it was only natural.
“Forget it, it’s none of my business anyway. If your identity is exposed, the ones who will be troubled are those higher-ups. As long as you don’t cause trouble on my turf, it’s fine.”
Black Rabbit was too lazy to think. As a natural-born star spirit, even one from the very beginning of the Little Garden's creation, Black Rabbit was really bad at scheming. This can be seen from the fact that she was tricked into losing three times by the gods.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be leaving the Little Garden soon.”
“You really intend to leave the Little Garden?”
Black Rabbit was very surprised. She had always thought Wang Xiaoming was just saying it. Everyone who came to the Little Garden knew that it was connected to other worlds. Even if you hid in another world, it wouldn't do any good except weaken yourself. Moreover, once you entered the Little Garden, the world you came from would also be connected to it. Hiding in that world wouldn't help. The people looking for you would still find you.
Therefore, Black Rabbit thought Wang Xiaoming was joking about leaving the Little Garden, especially now that he was Nidhogg. There was even less reason to leave. This was the pure-blooded dragon of the Little Garden. Why would he want to leave? No matter which community he was in, this ancient dragon could get along very well.
“That’s right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made something that could resist the sun for Leticia.”
Wang Xiaoming said, raising his thumb towards the three maids behind him.
“Okay, then when are you planning to leave?”
“Right now!”
“Huh? Leaving right now?”
“Yeah, is there any point in me staying here?”
Wang Xiaoming raised his eyebrows at Black Rabbit, then turned and walked towards Reverse Izayoi, who was pushing up his glasses and thinking. He felt deceived. Wang Xiaoming was actually Nidhogg, and before, he called himself a hero.
However, this didn't affect his caution. Even Nidhogg had to hide his identity and pretend to be a four-digit hero. Why? Adding to Wang Xiaoming's conversation with Black Rabbit, the Little Garden's waters were terrifyingly deep!
“Kid, the Little Garden is much more complicated than you think, so you have to be careful.”
“I know that without you telling me. After all, I was set up by you.”
Izayoi pushed up his glasses and replied with a grin.
“Lord Nidhogg, do all the big shots like you like to do this?”
Saying that, Izayoi also looked at Black Rabbit on the side. This was also a terrifying big shot who hid her true power. Were these big shots all crazy? Did they all like to pretend to be pigs to eat tigers!
“Yeah, it’s good that you know.”
Wang Xiaoming patted Izayoi on the shoulder, nodding in satisfaction. That's right, continue to be cautious, young man!
“Then, Leticia, we’re leaving.”
“Yes, Master.”
Behind Wang Xiaoming, Leticia nodded with a smile, then followed Wang Xiaoming as they walked away.
The Little Garden had nothing to do with them vampires anymore.
Under the gaze of Black Rabbit and the others, Wang Xiaoming slowly left with Leticia and the others. They didn't leave too far. After leaving a certain distance to make sure no one was around, they stopped, and Wang Xiaoming began to explain his true identity to them.
The revelation of this true identity surprised Leticia and the other two immensely.
“Xiaoming-sama, your name is really Wang Xiaoming!”
“Also, the identities of Rama and Nidhogg were both fake.”
“Because you killed Rama and Nidhogg, you obtained their abilities. You even gained the Little Garden’s recognition after entering. Is it even possible to do something like that!”
The vampire girls were very surprised by the special mechanisms of the Little Garden's core, as well as the God-Slaying world and Spirit Envoy world that Wang Xiaoming spoke of, were all real.
Especially Wang Xiaoming's world, a world that also possessed gods, but the gods of that world cultivated humans and other demi-humans as their Familia, instead of the gods themselves taking action.
Wang Xiaoming was also the captain of the Hestia Familia, so Wang Xiaoming would take them to that world later, so everyone could live together in the Hestia Familia. Of course, everyone didn't have to join the Familia, but they would still be family, because they were Wang Xiaoming's maids.
The three girls were very curious about Wang Xiaoming's ability to cross various worlds, and they also completely agreed to live in the Danmachi world. Because Wang Xiaoming was their master, they would be wherever Wang Xiaoming was. Anyway, this Little Garden world was already rotten to the core. Could other worlds be even more rotten than this Little Garden world?
Especially the goddess Hestia that Wang Xiaoming mentioned. According to Wang Xiaoming's description, why did that goddess who had lived for hundreds of millions of years look more like a child? If she came to the Little Garden, it would definitely be very interesting. Zeus, the great father god of Greece, would definitely laugh out loud if he knew that his older sister in other worlds was such a person.
Therefore, Leticia and the others chose to follow Wang Xiaoming to the Danmachi world and agreed to join the Hestia Familia. After all, the grace, which could unlock potential, would also be useful for them vampires, who were already very powerful.
Although it wouldn't allow them to reach the omniscient domain of the three-digit level in the Little Garden, reaching the four-digit outlier level was completely fine.
Thus, Wang Xiaoming, who had obtained the collective agreement of the three little maids, opened a portal to the Danmachi world and returned to the Danmachi world with his little maids.
379. What? Sisters together are not as good as mother and daughter together?
A cyan spatial gate opened in Wang Xiaoming's laboratory, and Wang Xiaoming led his three little maids out of the spatial gate one by one.
After the four of them had all stepped out of the spatial gate, the spatial gate quickly disappeared, and the world regained its color.
As the master, Wang Xiaoming naturally had to welcome them to his territory. He turned around and opened his arms to the three maids.
“Welcome to the Hestia Familia's base, Orario, my lovely maids. Please allow me to introduce myself again. I am Wang Xiaoming, the captain of the Hestia Familia, the man who will take care of you for the rest of your lives!”
Well, introducing himself while also adding his own selfish desires.
