Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins



Its entire body was pitch-black, its skin had a metallic sheen, and it was dotted with horrific blood-red spots, making it look particularly disgusting and terrifying. 

It moved swiftly, stirring up a strong wind, leaving a trail of black shadows on the ground. 

In a blink of an eye, it pounced onto the main formation of the Riverside army.

The Spider Queen caught an Enchanted Infantryman's arm with its claws, and its sharp claw-blade effortlessly tore off his armor. 

Then, with a swift lift of its leg, it pierced through the soldier's sturdy armor, skewering him with ease.

It's worth noting that the armor worn by these Enchanted Infantrymen was strengthened by magical runes, making it far more robust than steel and resistant to most magic. 

However, in front of the Spider Queen, this layer of defense was as fragile as paper.

"Damn it!" Ghöst Hughes cursed under his breath, a staff embedded with a large gem appearing in his hand.

Suddenly, a dazzling yellow light erupted from Ghöst Hughes, and flames burst out of his armor, making him look like a warrior god of fire.

"Explosion spell - Burn!"

With Ghöst Hughes's cold command, gorgeous holy flames appeared out of thin air, enveloping the rampaging Spider Queen like snowflakes.

In an instant, the blazing holy fire soared, and the Spider Queen enveloped in it began to wail.

Ghöst Hughes swung his staff once more, with streams of flame instantly spreading in all directions. 

As the waves of fire engulfed everything, countless monsters were incinerated amidst horrendous cries, reduced to piles of ashes.

The Spider Queen, sensing the impending doom, struggled fiercely and finally leaped out of the prison of flames, charging straight towards the distant Ghöst Hughes.

But Hughes, facing the Spider Queen's desperate onslaught, simply sneered.

Whoosh!

From behind Ghöst Hughes, a silver crossbow bolt shot through the air, accurately piercing the head of the Spider Queen, pinning it to the ground.

With the bolt's penetration, the earth trembled, and torrents of savage energy surged forth.

The next second, the body of the Spider Queen was torn into countless pieces, scattering on the ground, completely silenced.

Ghöst Hughes let out a sigh of relief, looking back.

A handsome youth with golden hair and wearing silver armor, slightly nodded towards him.

"Jeremy, the direct descendant of the Archduke... Your strength at such a young age is nearly reaching A-level, isn't it? You're quite something..."

Looking at the silver-armored youth, Ghöst Hughes felt a tinge of jealousy. 

With this feat of slaying a dragon, the next time they met, Ghöst Hughes feared he would have to call Jeremy his superior.

"Winning this war is what matters most," Ghöst Hughes cast aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

After all, without the help of this son of the Archduke, his own resources, despite his wealth, wouldn't have been able to procure the Dragon Crossbow created specifically for slaying dragons by the dwarves. 

Without the Dragon Crossbow, this battle wouldn't have been possible at all.

"All troops, follow me into battle!"

Ghöst Hughes swung his arm, and the Riverside army roared as they charged towards the monster army. 

With several powerful warriors leading the way, the monster army's defenses were quickly shattered. 

Even the less intelligent monsters started to panic and fled amidst the massive casualties.

As the battle line rapidly advanced, the Riverside army quickly neared the Black Dragon's territory.

As monster camps fell and horrific monsters were slain, the Riverside army let out cries of joy, as if victory was already within their grasp.

Rumble…

The ground suddenly began to shake violently. 

The chaotic battlefield went silent for a moment, everyone instinctively looking up at the sky. 

A massive shadow slowly emerged from the clouds, followed by a terrifying dragon flame that fell with an unstoppable force.

The momentum of the Riverside army suddenly stagnated. 

Many even started trembling in fear. 

The monsters that had lost their will to fight and had been fleeing, suddenly turned around with red eyes, displaying even more terrifying combat power.

The fearsome Black Dragon swooped down from the clouds, the gusts caused by its wings kicking up a cloud of dust.

The moment the Black Dragon appeared, the tide of the battlefield took a sharp turn. Such is the intimidation of a dragon!

"Damned beast!"

Ghöst Hughes roared angrily, his staff shining with a terrifying red light.

Although a dragon is far more powerful than a mage or a knight of the same rank, its large size can become a disadvantage when trapped. 

With the Dragon Crossbow, slaying it wasn't a fantasy!

Usually, this cunning Black Dragon wouldn't dare to attack the enemy lines so boldly. 

It seemed the massive casualties of the monster army had driven it mad.

Ghöst Hughes naturally wouldn't let go of this golden opportunity. 

He called all the powerful warriors on Riverside's side to join the onslaught against the Black Dragon.

"The day of dragon slaying is today!"

With a powerful shout, Ghöst Hughes called forth a fearsome fireball more than three meters in diameter, sending it hurling towards the Black Dragon. 

Simultaneously, several formidable warriors leaped from the ranks of the army, engaging the oncoming Black Dragon.

Arrows, swords, and spears bombarded the Dragon's body, each strike met with a hollow thud. 

"Roar!" 

Enraged, the Black Dragon roared and charged directly towards Ghöst Hughes, spewing a stream of dragon flame, despite the onslaught of attacks, aiming to take down Ghöst Hughes.

·ƈθm "Back off!" Ghöst Hughes retorted, a series of fierce lightning strikes assailing the Black Dragon. 

Amid a shower of sparks, he swiftly retreated. 

The Dragon's scales were simply too sturdy; ordinary spells and blades barely scratched the surface, causing only minor injuries.

The Black Dragon showed no signs of pause, continuing its pursuit of Ghöst Hughes, its target all too clear. The remaining warriors rushed to Ghöst Hughes' side, protecting him from the relentless dragon. 

Their diverse attacks had the dragon stumbling, thwarting its advance.

"Does this buffoon really think it can kill Master Ghöst Hughes?"

"What an ignorant creature!"

"Does it think we're invisible?"

The warriors, feeling slighted, began to curse angrily. 

Ghöst Hughes was the commanding officer in this battle, and if he were to fall here, even if they succeeded in slaying the dragon, they would have to face punishment.

Ghöst Hughes took a deep breath, his face growing increasingly serious. 

"Bind!" he commanded, and the space surrounding the Black Dragon twisted, attempting to lock its massive body in place. 

Sensing danger, the dragon veered off course, but a series of shocks still grazed its scales, causing it to crash land heavily. 

At the same moment, a distant elven druid emanated a green light, as thorny vines erupted from the earth, binding the Black Dragon securely.

"Roar!" The Black Dragon roared in anger, its body expanding as a powerful aura emanated from it. But a sneer spread across Ghöst Hughes' face.

"Fire the arrows!"

The Dragon Crossbows were aimed at the restrained Black Dragon, their terrifyingly sharp arrows glowing menacingly.

Whiz!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

One after another, giant crossbow bolts, over two meters in length and accompanied by a piercing sound, showered the Black Dragon. 

The dull thud of arrows piercing flesh echoed across the battlefield, as the Black Dragon's body shuddered. 

Its large body was now filled with fresh wounds, its once-impenetrable scales rendered useless, and the Dragon Crossbow bolts easily penetrated its flesh.

"Roar—"

With a painful roar, the Black Dragon struggled mightily to free itself from the grip of the thorny vines. 

It thrashed its tail, toppling nearby trees, and clawed at the vines with its talons. 

However, the robust thorns quickly pierced its scales, causing crimson blood to flow.

"Still resisting!" 

Seeing the Black Dragon's efforts to break free, Ghöst Hughes' eyes turned ice-cold as he slowly raised his hand.

"Spear of Thunder!" 

With a commanding shout, a purple magical spear, two meters long, materialized in mid-air. 

Emitting an intimidating aura and pulsating with magical energy, it sent shivers down everyone's spine.

With his right hand tightly gripping the magical spear, Ghöst Hughes mustered all his strength and hurled it fiercely. 

"Boom!" 

The purple magical spear, brimming with powerful magic energy, transformed into a purple meteor and smashed violently into the Black Dragon.

With a terrible shriek, the massive dragon collapsed onto the ground. 

Simultaneously, a barrage of attacks and magic instantly engulfed the Black Dragon, while new bolts were already loaded on the Dragon Crossbows in the distance...

The pupils of the Black Dragon contracted, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes. 

"Could it be that I, the noble Black Dragon Lord Komait, am to meet my end here?" A wave of despair welled up within it.

But just then —

"Roar~!" 

From the dark forest, an earth-shaking roar resounded. 

A massive shadow blocked out the sunlight, hovering above everyone's heads. 

The sunlight glittered off its golden scales, producing a blindingly brilliant light. 

Slowly, it opened its mouth, a horrific stream of dragon flame plummeted towards the crowd.

Another dragon had appeared!
