Chapter 269: #269 - Destitute Queen

Seeing the more than twenty negative entries above Eunice's head, Li En guessed the role of the octopus behind her.

Originally, Li En couldn't see the entries of the Azure Dragon Clan, but Eunice's faith had changed with him, so he could see her entries and help her clear them.

Of course, before clearing the entries, the cursed octopus had to be dealt with first.

This was an octopus embedded in a huge wall, half of its body seemingly connected to the prison.

Li En cut off the octopus tentacles wrapped around Eunice's limbs.

"Master, you shouldn't have come to save me. This cursed octopus is very powerful. It knows a total of one hundred and sixty kinds of curses, and these curses are contagious. Run away quickly. It will grab any creature that gets close to it."

Eunice lost her support and fell downwards.

At the same time, the octopus immediately launched an attack on Li En, with seven or eight tentacles rushing towards him.

The suckers on these tentacles had barbs. Once they got close to someone's body, the barbs would pierce in and spread the curse.

Li En picked up Eunice, who had fallen to the ground, while dodging the attacks of the octopus tentacles.

Although the octopus had many tentacles, its speed couldn't keep up with Li En at all.

Li En was very experienced in killing octopuses, and now he could see the various rules densely covering the octopus's body. He only needed to provoke these rules a little to restrict the octopus's movements.

Turning the octopus's tentacle barbs inward, the barbs piercing the suckers immediately drove the octopus into a frenzy.

Dozens of tentacles waved wildly, smashing into the ground and creating clearly visible cracks.

The commotion attracted the guards. As soon as the guards approached, they were grabbed by the extending tentacles and frantically infected with curses.

These ordinary guards quickly died from the curses, which saved Li En the trouble of doing it himself.

The frenzied octopus launched indiscriminate attacks on everything around it, but the more out of control it was, the more mistakes it made.

Li En drew his sword and slashed, a line of blood cutting the cursed octopus's body from top to bottom.

The octopus was split in two.

"It's useless. It's the strongest octopus sea monster I've ever seen. It's Achilles' pet. It has a strong self-healing ability. Even if it's broken into pieces, it can reassemble itself," Eunice reminded him.

"Oh."

Li En responded indifferently.

The two halves of the octopus sea monster collapsed with a bang, then shattered into light mist and dust, completely dissipating.

Eunice was stunned.

"That's the strongest you were talking about?"

Li En couldn't help but feel disappointed. He hadn't even used his full strength, and the strongest octopus sea monster had already bowed out. Eunice probably hadn't seen what the strongest really was.

Li En wanted to take the octopus sea monster as a pet. Where could he find such a good automatic point-scoring machine?

But he had completely solved it with just one move, less than 80% of his strength, which was really disappointing.

Mainly Eunice, saying it was too strong! And the strongest!

"This—this, how is this possible?"

Eunice stammered.

Rumbling, the wall connecting the octopus sea monster's body also began to collapse.

South Island Prison could no longer be supported and began to break down.

Li En quickly fled the collapsing building with Eunice, who was still in shock.

Eunice's eyes were fixed on the collapsing prison behind her, unable to believe that the nightmare that had tormented her for so long had disappeared.

That octopus was really dead.

Recalling the scene of her father, the Azure Dragon King, being killed by this man, Eunice felt that it was understandable.

This man was a monster, how could he be afraid of a cursed octopus?

However, although the cursed octopus was dead, the curse placed on her body had not disappeared.

If she lived, these curses would still be passed on to others, bringing disaster to others.

"Master, kill me, otherwise I will implicate more people," Eunice said weakly.

"Are you teaching me what to do?" Li En asked, still angry that Eunice had said the cursed octopus was the strongest octopus sea monster, influencing his judgment.

The point-scoring machine was stabbed to death by his sword! Whose fault was it? It was all Eunice's fault.

Li En wouldn't take the blame.

Eunice lowered her head, "I am no longer of any use to you. Continuing to live will only add to your troubles."

It was obvious that Eunice was still being tormented by the curse and was in great pain. She also sincerely didn't want to pass these curses on to others.

This Azure Dragon Clan's princess was as kind as ever.

No, she should be called a fallen queen now.

"I won't let you die. You will manage this territory for me in the future. Don't think that dying will solve everything."

"You—are you a demon?"

Eunice fainted from the pain.

Li En took her to the South Island Forest, laid her down flat, and cleared her entries.

[Entry Points +2000] X27

Gaining 54000 points, plus the previous 1404200, accumulating 1458200 points.

This was a small gain, which improved Li En's mood.

By clearing entries for Eunice, Li En also understood the Azure Dragon Queen Eunice better.

She was once a princess living in an ivory tower, which cultivated her kind and simple personality.

After learning that her father had forced many innocent human women to conduct experiments to create Dragon Mothers, Eunice's values collapsed once.

After signing a contract with Li En, she felt relieved instead, hoping to make up for her father's past mistakes against humans with her actions.

She felt guilty towards humans.

This guilt diluted her hatred.

But she also didn't want her people to be destroyed and hoped to coexist peacefully with humans.

This kind of personality would definitely suffer in times of war, and might even lead to the destruction of the country.

But in peacetime, it could ease the conflicts and differences between races.

Li En could only try to create a peaceful environment for her, after all, he also yearned for peace.

Compared to other Azure Dragons, Eunice was the best proxy Li En could find at the moment.

If he replaced her with someone ambitious and eager to conquer and rule all mankind, they might use him to stabilize the situation and then start making small moves in secret.

But Eunice wouldn't.

Eunice couldn't be blamed for the fall of Azure Dragon Court this time either.

Compared to Achilles, Eunice was too weak.

Li En believed that Achilles, the evil dragon, could bring disaster to the Southern Continent even if he flew there.

Eunice, who thought she would die in pain, woke up again and found that her cursed state had completely disappeared.

The emotions of inner shock were beyond words.

These curses were something that even the death of the cursed octopus could not take away.

But Li En had lifted them.

Perhaps Li En was sent by God to save her, to save the Azure Dragon Clan.

"Thank you, great master."

Eunice prostrated on the ground, already regarding Li En as a god, and apologized for her previous inappropriate words.

She shouldn't have thought of Li En as a monster-like man, because he could no longer be described as human.

He was a divine, great existence on high.

"Eunice, get up."

Li En looked at the western sky, the battle between the human army and the Azure Dragon army was still going on.

Colorful magical explosions erupted in the sky from time to time, and the entire Azure Dragon Court was shaking, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Master, what do you need me to do now?"

"Go gather your people, take them to a relatively safe place to take refuge, and wait for my call."

"Okay."

Eunice was about to turn around and leave.

But she heard a voice that made her extremely frightened and familiar.

"Eunice, you really disappoint me, betraying your people again and again. Your body is not worthy of the blood of the Achilles family."

Achilles appeared.

All dragons can transform into human form, and Achilles also appeared in human form.

Probably because he was hatched by Randle, Achilles' human form was four or eight points similar to Randle, making Li En mistakenly think he was seeing the young Pope.

Achilles floated in mid-air, looking down at Li En and Eunice.

His appearance here proved that Alexander had failed.

Li En couldn't help but worry about his daughter.

At this time, Alexander, who had wandered around the Azure Dragon Royal Court and had not found the main target, was lost in thought.

"Could that guy have known I was coming and ran away in advance?"

"My reputation has spread to the Azure Dragon Court. Haha."

"If that's the case, does it mean I won, then I can go back to see Mom and Dad."

Alexander patted his butt and flew away.

In order to prove that he really defeated the evil dragon Achilles, Alexander destroyed the Azure Dragon Royal Court before leaving.

He set a fire of true dragon, burning everything to ashes.

Alexander didn't know that his evil deeds of destroying buildings would be severely criticized by his father soon. Now he was happily going back to ask for credit.

On the other hand, Li En had already met Achilles, the target that Alexander was originally going to deal with.

Eunice's body trembled instinctively when she saw Achilles.

"Eunice, who gave you the courage to not kneel when you see me?" Achilles asked.

Eunice's eyes were red, her legs were weak, and she instinctively wanted to kneel, but Li En held her up.

"Eunice, you are the queen of Azure Dragon Court. From now on, you don't need to kneel to anyone."

Li En looked at Eunice and gave her incredibly powerful faith.

"You only need to listen to my orders, you don't need to pay attention to anyone else."

Li En never forced his servants to kneel to him. Even if they signed a contract, he felt that they should operate with a company mentality. He was their boss, and they were his employees.

At most, the boss would occasionally deduct some wages and squeeze the potential of the employees.

But he was not like slave owners like Achilles, who wanted people to kneel at every turn.

Moreover, this was still his granddaughter, and he had tormented her like this.

Achilles frowned slightly when he heard Li En's words and said indifferently,

"You killed my son, contracted my granddaughter, and stole my Azure Dragon Whip. You are the first human to shame me. As long as you live, I will always carry this shame. Li En Moria, I will give you three minutes to repent your sins. After three minutes, you will leave this world forever."

"Where's Alexander?" Li En ignored his three minutes of repentance and asked, "Did you find your black dragon?"

"If I had seen him, he would already be dead."

Achilles' answer made Li En breathe a sigh of relief.

That girl was probably lost and didn't find the target.

As long as she was okay.

He shouldn't let her act alone next time, at least he should bring her nanny with her.

Thinking of the demon Cruise, that guy had been forgotten since he went to Red Maple Territory and had not returned.

He didn't know if he was sulking and wanted people to bring him back.

The situation was serious, and no one would look for a demon.

Li En restrained his thoughts and looked at Achilles,

"Since you're here, let me try the power of the Seven Star Knight."

Achilles was amused by Li En's words.

"A mere Seven Star Knight dares to clamor in front of a true dragon. I originally wanted to give you three minutes to repent, but you are too ignorant. Let me eliminate you now."

Achilles raised his left hand, and a ball of energy condensed in his palm.

The purple energy ball seemed to be covered with electric snakes and sparks, making a sizzling sound.

Countless complex arcane runes were hidden in the energy ball, causing the ball to swell.

Achilles threw out the energy ball. When the energy ball approached Li En, it had expanded from the size of a palm to the size of a meteorite.

Rumble—the energy ball exploded.

The dazzling light, like the flames erupting from the surface of the sun, ruthlessly tore apart the entire earth. Forests, mountains, rocks, buildings, and creatures were all like fragile paper in front of this powerful force, instantly crushed and turned into powder.

The island connected to the southern part of Azure Dragon Court was wiped out in the huge energy shock wave.

After the island disappeared, the sea surface was stirred up by the aftermath, forming huge waves that crashed towards Azure Dragon Court, forming a terrible tsunami.

Li En was a little shocked when he saw Achilles' power for the first time.

He took Eunice out of the range of the energy ball's attack in time, put Eunice down, and then flashed to Achilles.

In return, Li En also threw out a magic card.

Sophie's Ice Witch Domain Card—Snow Country Descends.

Goose feather snow fell from the sky. The snowflakes fell on the sea level and did not melt, but quickly froze.

Similarly, the snowflakes fell on Achilles and quickly froze.

Achilles' body was quickly turned into an ice sculpture.

But this state only lasted for 1 second, and the ice on Achilles' body melted.

Achilles looked at Li En with a sneer,

"Is this your reliance? Borrowing the power of a witch."

"Hehe, don't underestimate the witches, they are the masters of the new era."

Li En said, a silver ice crystal spear appeared in his hand.

He hurled it towards Achilles. The ice crystal spear instantly split into countless spears, aiming to turn Achilles into a sieve.

Achilles flashed, dodging the spears. The spears fell into the sea, stirring up waves.

The waves were quickly frozen into glaciers.

Li En stepped on the glacier and threw out the second card.

Hell Witch Ashe's Hell Domain Card - Gate of Hell.

Space twisted, and a pitch-black door appeared, an ominous and blasphemous aura began to spread.

The door was knocked open, and Achilles' body was directly pulled by the door's attraction, banished into hell.

The Gate of Hell closed.
