The environmental shift triggered by *Dragon’s Annihilation* drew the attention of Rosvisser and Claudia, who were still clearing the dangerous beasts nearby. Claudia looked up at the darkening sky as the last traces of moonlight disappeared behind a thick layer of storm clouds. The sheer power of the thunderous energy roared and howled, as if it couldn’t wait to burst forth.

“This level of lightning magic… it’s a bit much,” Claudia remarked, even with her extensive knowledge and experience.

Having studied countless ancient texts and admired the techniques of her predecessors, Claudia had never seen anything as overwhelming as *Dragon’s Annihilation*.

“It’s one of Leon’s rarely used ultimate moves. I’ve only seen him use it twice,” Rosvisser said.

The first time was during the Rift Battle, when Star Dragon King Stara led the charge against Leon and Rosvisser. In that desperate battle, with the Silver Dragon clan’s support, Leon unleashed *Dragon’s Annihilation* to turn the tide. At that time, he needed help to summon enough natural lightning to use it.

But now, six months after Leon’s return from the future, he could execute *Dragon’s Annihilation* alone—although he would be so exhausted afterward that he could barely stand. Still, Rosvisser vividly remembered Leon’s triumphant display that felled six dragons in mere seconds.

As she reminisced, a proud smile tugged at her lips, her heart swelling with the thought, *Look at him—my husband!*

However, she couldn’t ignore that Leon had used such a powerful technique so early in the battle. Was it because the Dagger Trio was too strong, forcing him to act quickly? Or was Leon simply impatient and wanted to end things fast?

Her thoughts were interrupted when a charred fusion beast landed at her feet. She turned to see Konstantin approaching.

“I don’t mean to disturb you two, but shouldn’t we handle the task at hand before admiring someone’s heroic display?”

Konstantin was well aware of Leon’s strength, so he wasn’t worried about the situation on Leon’s side, no matter how many *Dragon’s Annihilation* attacks were involved.

“There are more fusion beasts appearing, and they seem capable of a second phase of fusion,” Konstantin said.

Rosvisser’s brows furrowed. “Second phase of fusion? What do you mean?”

Before Konstantin could respond, a massive shadow overtook hers. Turning around, Rosvisser’s expression grew serious, her face marked by a hint of disbelief.

The fusion beasts behind her and Claudia were merging, extending black, viscous tendrils that bound them together. Their skin melted like tar, fusing into one colossal creature with multiple heads.@@novelbin@@

“Just as Leon suspected, the Empire has even more depraved tricks up its sleeve.”

While they knew the Empire had been developing fusion beasts, they had never imagined these beasts could undergo a second phase of fusion. The creature’s magical energy was comparable to that of a Dragon King.

Konstantin stepped forward to stand beside Rosvisser and Claudia. The three Dragon Kings aligned, facing the monstrous abomination.

“Let’s burn this thing to ashes,” Konstantin said.
