Chapter 375 - The Fall of Western Army 4 (2/2)

The startled knights and soldiers attempted to counterattack, but the monsters were much faster.

With just a few of the monster’s spear wielding, the men died.

The knights fought back, but when they all rushed in, they were slaughtered.

Duke Butler could only stare at Shaikan with shock and amazement.

‘T-this man is the 3rd prince of the past Emperor, Reichard? I am sure that he was declared dead…?’

The 3rd prince, Reichard, was known to have been killed by an unidentified assassin while heading to his home lordship with Empress Magdalene.

However, the same rumored man had appeared there and insisted that he was the 3rd prince, so Butler was forced to think back.

‘Maybe he is an imposter using the 3rd prince identity?’

While Butler was trying to figure out all the possibilities…

He sensed an enormous power emanating from Shaikan’s body.

“T-this is…!”

The energy, which was emanating from his body, was too hard for even a Sword Sage to handle.

“Dragonic aura. It is the power that only those who have awakened the blood of God Dragon Tiamet can perform.”

“D-Dragonian!”

A legend that was passed down in the family of the Baroque.

Butler was aware of it, but he didn’t find it truthful enough to believe.

Drrr!

When Butler was shocked by Shaikan, he opened up his shirt to give out proof.

On his chest was a dragon scale.

As Shaikan’s Dragonic aura radiated, the scales began to spread over to his neck and shoulder.

“Oh, oh my god!”

The legend about the Dragonian wasn’t a lie!

At the shocked expression of Butler, Shaikan brought out his mando and cut his hand with it, making his blood drip.

He reached out to Butler, who was soaking in blood.

“You are dying. You have a stronger vitality than the others, but you won’t last long. You can live by drinking my blood which is filled with Dragonian aura. But…”

Butler, who was ready to drink the blood, stopped when he heard the following words.

“The souls of the ones who drink the blood of the dragon will regard me as their master. If the owner lives, you live. If the owner dies, you die.”

“….”

“What do you plan on doing? Would you accept it?”

Butler thought for a moment.

“What will I get if I became your subject?”

“Your family will thrive forever with the new nation that I’ll build.”

“New nation…?” Asked Butler.

“Yes. I will destroy the Baroque Empire and rebuild the Libiya Kingdom.”

The Countess of Ebra, Reichard’s mother, was a descendant of the people of the fallen kingdom of Libiya.

Butler was aware of it too, but he felt embarrassed and flustered when he said about rebuilding a nation that was destroyed 500 years ago.

Founding such a nation was impossible without considerable preparation and enthusiastic movement.

Although he had seen the power of the God Dragon, did Reichard have the needed political foundation?

“But, first of all, I want to take revenge on that Rudolf. How about that?”

That was the one thing needed.

It didn’t matter if Reichard could build a new kingdom or not.

The most important thing for Butler was revenge.

Butler was determined. He put down the sword in his hand and looked at Shaikan.

“If you can overthrow that crazy Emperor and that traitor, I am willing to be your servant.”

Butler drank the blood that was dripping from Shaikan’s hand.

The blood of the dragon’s aura that entered his body cooled down his body.

Along with enhanced metabolism, his body recovered several times faster than normal.

“Kuak! Kaaak!”

His wounds began to burn as they healed.

His aura, which wasn’t able to form because of his severely injured body, began to go back to normal.

‘To recover this quick! Is this the power of those who inherit the blood of the God Dragon?’

Duke Butler was amazed, seeing his body recover at an astonishing speed. He looked over when Shaikan’s words interrupted his amazement.

“Get up. If you want to overthrow Rudolf, we have a lot to do in the future.”

“Yes, Master!”

Butler followed Shaikan who was moving into the group of monsters.

The key to the Western Army, which Rudolf hadn’t completely eradicated, was in the hands of Shaikan, who was secretly building forces within the Empire.
