BANG!

  Crimson Dragon's head burst out from the princess' chamber.

  All shattered beneath his might and turned into debris. Tremendously vast body left that chamber…… Only after some time did the dragon's body finally leave the princess' home alone.

  Its tip slapped away some debris, though.

  Reylin stood on the Crimson Dragon's head, "How big is your family actually? I didn't take a good look at you guys since I was so busy dealing with that trash Hans…… Your animal is quite royal, though."

  He wanted to taunt King Julian's son, to no avail.

  That man was already screaming through his system, "Zamram! Zamram! That fucking Crimson Dragon is chasing me!"

  "Is he alone?"

  "Yes!"

  "Oh? It took him some time to visit Princess Rose…… I thought he would visit her with his army, though." Zamram smiled, "Guide him to the Pitfall Puzzle Dungeon."

  "I think I won't be able to…… He is too fast……" Zamram's brother glanced behind, then shrieked!

  Reylin's Dragon was getting closer and closer!

  Zamram could imagine that scene just from his brother's voice alone.

  He sighed and added, "We will deal with Crimson Dragon for good. Burn your full mana and even blood should you fail! You must guide him here! And don't show that we have any plan here…… I will contact our father."

  "Damn it!"

  To not end up as Hans, King Julian's son, burned his mana, and his dark eagle accelerated with one big flap of his wings.

  Reylin stared at that speed……

  Inwardly, he thought, "I am doing a foolish thing."

  He didn't use Crimson Dragon's attacks because the summon itself severely exhausted his mana. He wanted to keep the flight for as long as possible, then have a few mana left to intercept his enemy.

  Reylin realized he was getting lured somewhere, but he didn't stop.

  He didn't want to stop as it meant that Princess Rose would be gone for good.

  Was he that close with her? He just had a short conversation with that woman and shared a bed for a little while.

  That alone wouldn't be enough for Reylin……

  Alas, his body refused to turn around……

  [You have used Flamethrower.]

  Crimson Dragon's jaw opened.

  It let out thick flames that many would mistake for scarlet clouds. They were so thick but fast, containing a lot of pure Crown Mana……

  That attack failed to reach King Julian's son.

  However, that man paid a heavy price for it.

  It was not just his mana that burned, but also his blood! He sacrificed so much just to keep high speed and not let Reylin take him down.

  "That will hurt King Julian's forces…… If I just turn around……" Reylin whispered, but his body didn't even move an inch.

  He thought of a reason.

  The best and shortest one was because Yuki mentioned this woman in her last moments. That princess was doing her best out of all people for her kingdom, and she deserved attention.

  Princess Rose was also a pitiful woman.

  She lacked strength and support.

  Her strength alone wouldn't mean much on a big scale. As an individual, she possessed powerful techniques.

  Support? Her royal family wasn't sure about players from the beginning. Reylin even had to talk about the kingdom's future with Yuki……

  From the beginning, she saw through the players and how they treated the world as a game, though.

  One could question the princess' choices, but her heart was undoubtedly strong! Even with dark matter's mana coursing through her, she was still herself and conducted for the Blue Rose Kingdom's future.

  Reylin hovered his eyes on her face.

  Her hair was tightly held by King Julian's son, and he made sure she wouldn't slip away from his hand…… Her body looked soulless, not moving and just starting back at Reylin, whose heart questioned his own choices.

  At last, Princess Rose's lips parted.

  "Let me die," she said.

  Reylin didn't answer her, nor did his dragon stop.

  "That's why I don't want to be a king," Reylin replied.

  Even to this day, Reylin didn't make any serious moves. He just had a group of ghosts and a few players with the same class under him.

  Emilia and Layla couldn't be called his force.

  Lioness and Ferocious Bear were in charge of their guilds, and they took care of many people.

  At last, the new dungeon spread itself before Reylin.

  It was a pit with a bottomless end.

  A wide pit could stuff Reylin's dragon and even a few more! That pit had small stairs spiraling down, and any player and resident would enter the dungeon through it!

  Of course, those who could fly used their wings and descended through that second method……

  King Julian's son hurriedly entered the dungeon……

  Crimson Dragon turned his eyes to Reylin.

  Reylin said, "Don't stop."

  His dragon entered the pitfall as well.

  That was when many new powers hacked at Reylin and his royal beast.

  Reylin flicked his fingers, and the Crimson Dragon's body lit up in scarlet flames! Those flames gathered around his body, giving him the strongest armor.

  Reylin's wings flapped, and he promptly closed up distance by combining his armor's prowess and his own techniques.

  He did it when King Julian's son found a wall before himself.

  That was the moment Reylin didn't miss!

  He yanked Princess Rose from him and brought her closer to his body, "If you die, I will erase your whole kingdom."

  He threatened, unaware that Crown Mana would solve Princess Rose's predicament. She had injected herself with failed ice mana, and even dark matter's mana wouldn't solve the problem.

  That ice mana devoured the dark matter mana within it already!

  That was when Reylin's Crown Mana silently warmed up Princess Rose's body!

  Her eyes widened, and she stared at Reylin's Dragon Helmet with shock and disbelief!

  That was when Reylin landed at the dungeon's ground!

  He looked around.

  [Hellish Hound Lv. 150]

  [Epic Dungeon Monster.]

  Twenty of them surrounded Reylin and the princess.

  [A foreign influence has invaded your system.]

  [Crimson Dragon's System has partially fended off the foreign invasion.]

  [A few of your systems have been turned off.]

  [You can't log out……]

  [You can't use a chat room.]

  [You can't……]

  "I don't want to see any deaths…… How naive……" Reylin realized the crux of his problem.

  Princess Rose bit her lips and didn't say anything.
