Chapter 41: Elrose was still on her way.
Dragonkin, one of the most powerful races in the world.
The strongest Dragon Emperor in legend reached level 899; even the Demon King would not dare to engage in battle with him lightly.
But unfortunately, the Dragonkin have now become extinct.
With the last royal bloodline of the Dragonkin, the Holy Gold Dragon Calandia, taking its final breath, the history of the old Dragonkin has ended completely.
Yet even so, no one can deny the strength of the Dragonkin.
Dragons are treasure from head to tail, a target of human obsession since ancient times.
Especially the blood of the Dragon Emperor lineage, rumored to contain unmatched power.
Alicia shone with dazzling golden light, her aura rising rapidly until it reached its peak.
Level 99.
Alicia let out a soft sigh in her heart.
The power hidden in the blood of Calandia was far beyond this, but with the 【Hero】 class frozen and the Blessing of the Gods rendered invalid, her level cap had reverted to that of an ordinary human at level 99.
The Ogre Chieftain, seeing this, burst into a wild laugh: “Hahaha, you startled me. I thought you would become significantly stronger, but it turns out you’re only at this level?”
“Humans are indeed just a bunch of weaklings. Without external help, they can’t even surpass level 100.”
As he spoke, the Ogre Chieftain’s mana surged, his muscles rapidly swelling at a visible rate, sharp bones piercing through his skin, exposed, and strange magical patterns emerged, looking extremely terrifying.
【Berserk】
“Hey, woman, I’ll give you a chance. Surrender now, and I’ll leave you in one piece,” the Ogre Chieftain said with a chilling sneer.
Facing the provocation of the Ogre Chieftain, Alicia merely raised an eyebrow and calmly responded with two words.
“Talkative.”
Alicia leaned forward, instantly transforming into a streak of golden fire rushing toward the Ogre Chieftain.
The Ogre Chieftain, undeterred, swung his giant hammer to meet her.
The dagger and the giant hammer collided fiercely, unleashing a burst of powerful energy.
The demons hurriedly fled to the edge of the cave, terrified of being caught in the terrifying wave of energy.
Meanwhile, the children in the village, as the energy was about to reach them, were suddenly shielded by a barrier of golden mana that appeared instantly, protecting them tightly within.
Magic Barrier.
Alicia held her sword in her right hand, clashing with the Ogre Chieftain’s hammer, while her left hand reached back, controlling the mana to form a barrier around the village children.
“You dare to divide your focus while fighting me?” The Ogre Chieftain felt insulted and, in a fit of rage, increased the force of his heavy hammer by threefold.
“Boom!”
The ground beneath Alicia instantly caved in, forming a massive pit, but Alicia remained unmoved, as solid as a pillar.
“This… this is impossible.”
The Ogre Chieftain’s expression gradually darkened.
Earlier, although he had suffered a bit against this human, he hadn’t cared at all because he hadn’t used his full strength.
As long as he used all his strength, this weak being would be smashed into meat paste in an instant.
What right does a mere level 100 human have to withstand his giant hammer?
However, contrary to expectations, his full-strength blow seemed to have no effect on Alicia at all.
It was like encountering a ghost.
Just when the Ogre Chieftain was puzzled, Alicia’s second wave of attack was already brewing.
She tilted her body, instantly escaping from under the Ogre Chieftain’s giant hammer.
The Ogre Chieftain lost control and slammed the giant hammer down onto the ground, embedding it.
Seizing the opportunity, Alicia stepped onto the giant hammer, quickly climbing up the Ogre Chieftain’s robust arm and delivering a thunderous knee strike to his jaw.
In an instant, the Power of the Golden Dragon erupted, sending the Ogre Chieftain soaring through the air.
Alicia crouched slightly on the ground, her dagger igniting with golden flames, and raised it above her head, swinging it down in anger.
【Golden Roar】
Golden flames transformed into a massive dragon head rushing toward the Ogre Chieftain.
This was the breath of the dragon.
At that moment, the Ogre Chieftain felt the threat of death.
But suspended in the air, where could he hide?
The only thing he could do was gather all his mana in front of him to minimize the force of the dragon breath.
The rest he could only leave to his proud and strong body.
“Boom!”
The Golden Roar instantly engulfed the Ogre Chieftain, and the golden beam pierced through the mountain, shooting up into the sky.
Moments later, the Ogre Chieftain’s body slammed down onto the ground.
At that moment, he looked like a huge lump of black charcoal, entirely scorched, emitting a burnt smell, and completely devoid of any signs of life.
With her dagger sheathed, Alicia looked at the giant demon lying motionless on the ground, and there was not a trace of pity in her eyes, only a coldness reminiscent of glacial debris.
At that moment, the cave fell completely silent.
Both demons and villagers were stunned in fear.
The Ogre Chieftain was actually killed in a single strike.
Even a lion, though weakened, would not be killed by an ant.
A person bearing the mission of a hero, even having temporarily lost their power, would not be defeated by some common wild boss.
Alicia’s beautiful eyes roamed around, lightly surveying the remaining demon soldiers that were left.
With their boss killed in an instant, they had no courage left to resist Alicia; their only choice was to flee.
Alicia gently placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, her expression calm.
Next would be the ruthless harvest time.
But just then, the Ogre Chieftain’s finger twitched slightly, and this minute detail was quickly caught by Alicia’s peripheral vision.
Alicia immediately activated the Eye of Truth.

Skill: Combat Continuation
Effect: Quickly restore a small amount of health when health reaches zero

Trying to resurrect?
In your dreams!
Alicia’s eyes widened as she unsheathed her dagger and lunged forward, intending to deliver the final blow to the Ogre Chieftain.
But—
A pale lightning ball filled with frenzied energy suddenly came roaring in from behind Alicia.
Alicia seemed to have anticipated this, her figure flashing back just in time to evade the deadly attack from the darkness.
“So, you finally dare to show your face? You piece of trash.”
Alicia coldly regarded the pale man in strange clothing beside the Ogre Chieftain, her dagger igniting once more with golden flames.
“Protect the demons and collaborate with them; you have to be one of those in the organization,” Alicia gritted her teeth, spitting out the three words she detested the most in her life.
“Witch Church.”
…
Under the night sky, Elrose floated gently in the air, feeling unwell.
She could no longer remember how long she had been flying over the territory of Kranja, but she still couldn’t find Linshire Village.
“Should I come back tomorrow night?”
Elrose let out a soft sigh.
Night had deepened, and Joy must have gone to bed by now.
Moreover, if she continued to waste time, it might become daybreak, and she wouldn’t have time to return to Karash.
If Stella found out she was missing and thought she had run away, it would be a problem.
Just then, Elrose suddenly felt a powerful energy erupting from the west.
She suddenly turned her head and activated her 【Long Distance Vision】 skill.
It was a golden beam of energy.
And beside that dazzling beam was a burning village.
