At the moment of entry synthesis, Li En felt a transformation in his constitution.
This change brought not only sensory enhancement but also a soul-level transformation.
The consciousness world, borrowing Soraya's authority, seemed to become more solid.
Li En's soul seemed to temporarily leave his body, flying into the sky, colliding with the various rules of this world, able to see colors and creatures that were usually imperceptible.
The world became more rich and colorful. Those indescribable colors that had never appeared in the spectrum were filling his soul's vision.
And those unspeakable rules were quietly manipulating and constraining this world.
The ubiquitous rules collectively constructed this world. They were like pixels in a photo, like cells in the human body.
In the countless rules, Li En saw the key rules supporting his body, including heart rules, blood rules, muscle rules, bone rules, and extraordinary rules.
The world before him seemed like a brand-new world, filling Li En's soul with curiosity and a desire to explore.
Li En's playfulness arose, and he began to modify the rules of his body.
He knew that the key to supporting the soul's departure from the body for exploration was divinity, but he could not over-consume divinity, otherwise his spirit would bear too heavy a burden.
After his consciousness returned to his body, Li En opened his eyes.
In the mirror, a monstrous creature appeared, its muscle cells exposed, blood vessels covering its skin, limbs and body pieced together in an extremely uncoordinated manner. An eye appeared on the back of its hand, and another on its nose. The other facial features seemed to be playing hide-and-seek, not knowing where they were hiding.
This was the result of his unauthorized modification of the rules.
Li En immediately reverted the rule changes, restoring his body to its original state.
"Am I no longer able to be described as human in my current state?"
Li En could now rely on rules to modify his appearance, shape, and even without using a transformation cloak.
"Can Grandpa and Uncle Hall do it too?"
He stroked his chin, talking to himself.
Considering that he was not a single Seven-Star Order Knight but had integrated the traits of a vampire to exhibit these abilities, perhaps Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall could not transform.
Because of the special constitution of vampires, they would not die as long as their heart remained intact, even if their body was chopped into pieces.
But the human constitution was not like that. The heart, blood, and brain were all places that could lead to death. If one recklessly changed the rules of the body, causing blood flow to be obstructed, or the heart to supply insufficient blood, or the brain to lack oxygen, they would die.
So, perhaps this ability to survive even after turning into a monster was something only he could do.
Then he experimented with his shadow clone. The shadow clone was originally a mass of darkness, but by changing the rules, he could make the shadow clone become a real clone, albeit still without thoughts or ideas, but possessing extraordinary combat power.
This was much more useful than the Splitting Seal.
At least, it seemed so now.
Li En sparred with the clone in the fairytale book and found that the clone already possessed the power equivalent to a Six-Star Knight, only slightly inferior to a Six-Star Blood Knight.
The death of the clone would not affect the main body, but if the main body died, the clone would disappear.
After redeeming the entry, Li En's points plummeted from 15,404,200 to 1,404,200, as if a bulging wallet had suddenly shrunk.
This was the price of growth.
Li En did not feel distressed. There were still 1 million points left to redeem a life, which was one of his key trump cards.
After half a month of rest, the curses on all members of the Imperial Army were successfully lifted.
Li En and Dorothy were commended, and Grand Duke Moria personally awarded them the rank and honor of Major General.
Although the petrification disaster brought calamity, it also brought opportunity. The surviving members of the Flame Knights Order recounted the true situation of the Azure Dragon Court.
Grand Duke Moria and Earl Hall, based on the true intelligence and with Li En's participation, formulated a detailed siege strategy.
The Imperial Army formally launched an attack on the Azure Dragon Court!
On this very day that the Imperial Army launched its attack, the Burns Empire tore up the alliance, using the new queen as a hostage and attacking the Eastern Border with Viva Frank.
They threatened that if the gates of the Eastern Border were not opened, they would kill Princess Viva Frank of the Frank family.
The old emperor of the Burns Empire had no affection for Viva Frank, who was only 20 years old. Everything was for political marriage.
After learning that his army had suffered heavy losses at sea and had not received assistance from the allied forces, and that Duke McCoy, his younger brother, had almost not returned, he angrily tore up the allied forces' covenant, raising the banner of justice to denounce the perfidious Holy Empire.
The two lions of the Southern Continent finally clashed again after 50 years.
The Edward family, the shield of the Eastern Border and one of the Seven Creed Families, clashed with the army of the Burns Empire.
However, due to Viva Frank's relationship, the Edward family was constrained, in an awkward situation, and only dared to defend passively.
Seeing the Edward family's attitude, the Burns people became even more unscrupulous, taking advantage of the situation to break through the high walls and quickly occupy the Eastern Wilderness Territory.
When the news reached the Imperial Capital, Augulas' face turned ashen.
If it weren't for Zenobia's relationship, Augulas would have wanted to bring Earl Earl back and behead him a hundred times.
But even with Zenobia's relationship, Augulas did not intend to let Earl Earl off easily unless he could bring back the good news of victory from the Azure Dragon Battlefield.
Zenobia was sent to the Northern Continent by the Frank family to marry the newly enthroned King Devant, who was only 8 years old, and power was in the hands of Devant's regent. Her situation was equally worrying, but this was not a problem for the Frank family to consider.
The Frank family discovered that Viva Frank had not only failed to maintain two friendly relations but had also become an obstacle, and immediately abandoned her.
A piece of paper ordered Viva Frank to commit suicide for the sake of national interests.
At the same time, Mary was recalled from the south to support the Edward family in the Eastern Border.
If there were no wars in the country, Mary could continue to cause trouble in the south. As long as she provided the Frank family with enough money, the Frank family would turn a blind eye, but now there were wars at home and abroad. Mary's actions would obviously cause the situation to become more chaotic, which was not conducive to the Frank family's rule, so the family would not allow her to continue to expand.
Of the six territories in the south, the Rose Territory, the Red Plum Territory, and the Nightfall Territory were already under Mary's control, leaving only the Southern Border occupied by the Shield of the South, Catherine's Blue Moon Territory, and the Green Shade Territory, which was originally unable to be brought to the table.
Although Mary was unwilling, she could only obey the family's orders and go to the Eastern Border to support the Edward family.
This also created opportunities for Catherine and Anna.
Catherine decided to steal Mary's home during her expedition. As for the safety of the empire? That was something the Frank family should think about.
Catherine knew that if she missed this opportunity, she would only be passively beaten in the future.
Dora and the White Cross Society, which had been lurking in the Rose Territory, were finally about to play a role.
They would cause the Rose Territory to become chaotic on its own, and then, on the grounds that it was relatively close to the Rose Territory, formally send troops to help the Rose Territory quell the rebellion, and finally successfully enter the Rose Territory.
By the time Mary returned, this place would no longer belong to her but to the Jackson family's territory.
Compared to the intricate domestic situation, the naval war was much simpler.
The elite troops began to attack the Azure Dragon Court, and the Rose Knights Order, as the ace of the naval elite, launched an assault.
After several successful attempts to lure humans, the Azure Dragon Court still did not relax its vigilance, and this would be a continuous hard battle.
The captain of the Wyvern Army was the dragon Lyman. Although the army only had 300 people, each had the power of a Six-Star Knight, which put enormous pressure on the navy.
Even though the navy had 8,000 elites, they also included Five-Star, Four-Star, and Three-Star Knights.
Small knights orders like the Dawn Knights Order could only cooperate in group attacks in such battles. Single combat was definitely sending people to their deaths.
The dragon Lyman was a storm dragon and was personally contained by Earl Hall, creating a windless zone.
Lyman could not summon storms, but it was itself a thick-skinned dragon and could still carry out physical attacks with its powerful physique.
Earl Hall had experience fighting the Azure Dragon King, which helped him a lot, so he was able to fight back and forth with Lyman, successfully containing the opponent.
Dorothy and Li En, riding on Alexander's back, charged with the black dragon, taking the lead in entering the Azure Dragon Court's protective barrier.
The shattering of the barrier attracted the attention of the evil dragon Achilles.
He walked down from the throne, stroking the ring on his hand, a cruel smile outlining the corners of his mouth.
"Are they finally here?"
Five dragon shadows suddenly appeared in the Azure Dragon Hall.
They were Achilles' five children, each matching the original strength of the Azure Dragon King, except they did not have the Azure Dragon Whip and could not have a second life.
The Azure Dragon King was once the most envied brother because he could use the Azure Dragon Whip to breed many offspring, but now he had become a joke among them.
To be killed by mere humans was simply a disgrace to the Azure Dragon Clan.
Unlike Alexander, the evil dragon Achilles, although raised by Randall, arrogantly believed that Randall was his servant, not his master or relative.
Achilles could help Randall to some extent but would not completely obey him.
This time, killing Li En was not a direct order from Randall, but Achilles wanted to avenge his son, the Azure Dragon King.
Randall had always treated this evil dragon of his in a laissez-faire manner, using each other when needed and leaving each other alone when not.
The reason why Achilles had not been in the royal capital was this.
Achilles listened to the call of the Ancestral Dragon, believing that he was a noble creature of the ancient era, and that small humans were just dust and gravel. If these gravels accidentally stained his body, he would not hesitate to remove them.
"Go, kill these vile humans who killed your brother, and follow the teleportation portal they created to ignite the flames of war on the human continent, letting them know who is the true master of this world. The dragons have returned."
Achilles said calmly.
"The dragons have returned!"
The frost dragon Casper, whose whole body was covered with light blue ice, repeated.
"The dragons have returned!!"
The venom dragon Samuel, whose body was still constantly oozing purple liquid, repeated.
"The dragons have returned!!"
The dragon Olsen, surrounded by golden lightning, repeated.
"The dragons have returned!!"
The dragon Avery, the largest in size and possessing a steel-like body, repeated.
"The dragons have returned!!"
The life dragon Meeker, covered with bright flowers and wrapped in countless vines, looking like a mountain from a distance, repeated.
Their shadows instantly disappeared in the hall, leaving only a series of sunken footprints on the ground.
Earl Hall contained the storm dragon, and the army had just captured the northern defense line of the Azure Dragon Court and was heading towards the city when they saw the five dragon figures appearing in the sky.
Wherever the venom dragon Samuel went, venom fell from the sky, like a rain of venom. All creatures and buildings that were stained with this venom would be corroded and die painfully.
The frost dragon Casper spewed ice and snow, turning everything within sight into ice sculptures.
The lightning dragon Olsen brought bursts of thunder and lightning. Golden arcs of electricity, like swimming snakes, indiscriminately attacked the creatures on the ground. Buildings collapsed, and cracks appeared on the ground.
The steel dragon Avery absorbed all the weapons. His body was like a huge magnetic field, absorbing all human weapons onto it, including the huge warships of the expedition.
When the life dragon Meeker appeared, it would awaken all the dead on the ground, covering them with vines and flowers, turning them into its war puppets.
The Azure Dragon Court was immediately filled with screams. Achilles had obviously not properly settled the people of the Azure Dragon Clan,
and they were being indiscriminately slaughtered along with the humans.
Painful screams came from the inner city square, and the haze of war covered the entire Azure Dragon Court.
Fresh red bloodstains were spreading rapidly, blooming like flowers of the underworld on the cold stone surface.
Corpses were lying everywhere, flesh and blood blurred, and the fragility of life seemed so vulnerable in the face of war.
This scene caused a huge shock to the human army as well.
Tina looked at the approaching dragons and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Can we really win?"
"Lieutenant General, be careful."
A knight pushed away the dazed Tina and was hit by lightning, his body instantly turning into caramel and losing its life.
Tina frowned, watching her equally terrified comrades. The navy shouted, "Fight to the death! They are just dragons; we have them too!"
Although Tina's words were impassioned, the difference between an immature black dragon and 6 dragons was obvious, at least in terms of size.
But Tina knew that if morale was lost at this time, they would completely become a rout, only thinking about escaping.
Then this battle would be lost.
Just as Tina led the knights on the charge, the retreat horn suddenly sounded.
Tina almost suspected that her ears were mistaken.
And the soldiers, hearing this horn, cried with emotion.
Even the bravest warriors felt endless despair in the face of the absolute power of behemoths.
Only faith and loyalty supported them to continue fighting.
But that did not mean they were not afraid of death.
Tina led the knights and navy to retreat quickly, with the dragons chasing after them.
According to the original plan, Earl Hall would deal with the storm dragon, Grand Duke Moria would deal with the frost dragon Casper,
and Dorothy would deal with the life dragon Meeker.
Galvin, the Six-Star Knight who had become a blood knight, had initially possessed the combat power of a Seven-Star Knight. With the assistance of other Six-Star Knights, he became an opponent with the steel-bodied dragon Avery.
Emma and Nina Owen, who were forced to go to the battlefield, jointly dealt with the venom dragon Samuel. Emma's ability was almost a natural counter to venom because she was immune to magic and magic venom. With her assistance, Nina Owen barely contended with the venom dragon with the help of enchanted items.
Li En, along with three other high-level knights, dealt with the lightning dragon. This time, the Holy Empire fleet was elite. Although it could not be said that high-level knights were running all over the street, many strong people had emerged.
As for Alexander, he went to challenge the biggest boss, Achilles. Only a true dragon could fight against a true dragon. Faced with this level of combat, a Five-Star Knight could not intervene at all, let alone Parker, who was still at Four-Star. This made Parker firm in his heart while being shocked that he must become a strong person like his grandfather, but the first goal to catch up with was his brother Li En.
As for the 300 Wyvern warriors, they launched a crazy pursuit of the human army. Tina and Maitis needed to deal with them to ensure the safe withdrawal of the human army.
Such a cruel battlefield could only be left to the stronger powerhouses. Five-Star Knights were cannon fodder here.
After Li En issued combat orders to the clone, the main body sneaked into the Azure Dragon Court to save his servant, Eunice.
That's right, in fact, it was not Li En's main body that was dealing with the lightning dragon, but the clone.
The dragon's intelligence was thanks to Eunice; otherwise, the human army would have come in to die.
Since Li En had promised to rescue her, he would not break his word.
Eunice was imprisoned on the southernmost island of the Azure Dragon Court,
Li En guessed that this might be a trap, but as long as Alexander contained Achilles, even if it was a trap, it would not cause much damage to him. After all, he still had 19 witch cards, each of which could withstand the witch's strongest blow.
What was there to fear from a trap?
Just charge straight in.
But to Li En's surprise, there were no traps here.
This could not help but make Li En suspect that Eunice herself was a trap.
There were three or four hundred guards in the small South Island prison, but compared to the fighting Wyvern army, they were just ordinary Azure Dragon clansmen who had just been enlisted, and their strength was not even comparable to a Three-Star Knight.
Li En passed by them, and they were completely unaware, only feeling a breeze passing by.
Eunice's cell was in the deepest part of the underground, in a dark and lightless environment, where only the sound of a woman's breathing could be heard.
Only she was imprisoned in this dungeon. Her hands and feet were bound, but not by steel chains.
A giant octopus was attached to the wall behind her, and its extended tentacles trapped her hands and feet. These tentacles were inflicting cruel curses every minute through her limbs, tormenting Eunice.
This was Achilles' punishment for the traitor of the clan. Even if Eunice was his granddaughter, he could not tolerate Eunice recognizing humans as masters.
Moreover, if anyone came to rescue Eunice, the cursed octopus would immediately entangle that person, inflicting the curse on the rescuer, and the pain would be even greater than Eunice's.
This was why the prison did not have elite Wyvern army guards.
The cursed octopus itself was the best trap.
The surface of the cursed octopus was densely covered with red flying insects, which were the petrifying curse insects, living by parasitizing the octopus.
Unlike the sluggish guards, the petrifying curse insects discovered the intruder at the first moment and flew towards the prison gate.
Li En drew Enzo, unleashed the Storm Cross Slash, and annihilated all the dense curse insects in the sky, easily breaking open the prison door and walking in.
The weak Eunice had a pale face, and a layer of lingering shadow was condensed between her slender eyebrows. She raised her head, her godless eyes staring at Li En,
"Don't come over - don't get close - leave here."
