The sky above Blackridge trembled again.
But this time… it wasn't because of dragons.
The dimensional gate pulsed violently.
A dark energy spread outward like poison through the air.
Kai Draven looked up slowly.
Something inside the portal was moving.
Something huge.
Even the Dragon Emperor had turned its head toward the gate.
Lyra noticed it first.
Her voice dropped to a whisper.
"Kai… that energy…"
Kai glanced at her.
"Yeah?"
Lyra swallowed hard.
"That's not dragon energy."
Kai frowned.
"Then what is it?"
Lyra didn't answer immediately.
Her eyes were locked on the portal.
Then she finally said one word.
"Demons."
Kai blinked.
"Oh come on."
"Now demons too?"
The Dragon Emperor suddenly roared.
Not in anger.
In warning.
The massive dragon spread its wings wide.
Even the Sovereign Dragon in the sky moved backward slightly.
Kai noticed that instantly.
"Wait."
"Why are the dragons nervous?"
The system exploded with alerts.
[Unknown Entity Detected]
[Threat Level: Catastrophic]
Kai groaned.
"That sounds bad."
The portal cracked wider.
CRAAAAACK.
Dark claws pushed through the dimensional gate.
They were massive.
Longer than buildings.
Covered in black armor-like scales.
But they were not dragon claws.
Lyra's voice trembled.
"That's a demon lord…"
Kai rubbed his forehead.
"Dragon emperor."
"Dragon king."
"And now a demon lord."
He sighed deeply.
"Is there a boss rush mode in this world or something?"
The creature forced its body through the portal.
A gigantic horned figure emerged.
Its body was covered in burning black flames.
Six glowing red eyes opened slowly.
The air instantly became heavy.
Kai felt the pressure slam into his chest.
Even breathing became difficult.
The system flickered wildly.
[World Threat Detected]
[Warning: Demon Lord Class Entity]
Kai stared up at the monster.
"Okay… that one actually looks dangerous."
Drakar growled beside him.
Kai's bonded dragon spread its wings protectively.
The Dragon Emperor also turned its full attention toward the demon.
For the first time since arriving…
The emperor looked serious.
The demon lord laughed.
A deep horrifying sound that echoed across the ruined city.
"So the dragon world has already begun its invasion…"
Its voice shook the sky.
The Sovereign Dragon roared back angrily.
Kai blinked.
"Wait."
"Dragons and demons hate each other?"
Lyra nodded.
"Dragon realms and demon realms have been enemies for thousands of years."
Kai smirked.
"Well… that's convenient."
The demon lord suddenly noticed Kai.
All six glowing eyes focused on him.
Kai pointed at himself again.
"Why does every monster look at me first?"
The demon lord's voice turned cold.
"The Sovereign bloodline…"
Kai sighed.
"Seriously?"
"Another one?"
The demon lord stepped forward.
The ground melted beneath its feet.
"That bloodline belongs to neither dragons nor humans."
Kai crossed his arms.
"Good thing it belongs to me then."
The demon lord raised one claw.
Dark flames gathered around it.
The system flashed again.
[New Threat Engaged]
Lyra grabbed Kai's arm.
"Kai, you can't fight that thing yet!"
Kai cracked his neck slowly.
"Relax."
"I'm not planning to fight alone."
He looked at Drakar.
His bonded dragon roared loudly.
Golden dragon energy surged across the battlefield.
Then Kai looked up at the Dragon Emperor.
The massive creature stared down at him.
Kai grinned.
"Well?"
"You came here to test me."
The Dragon Emperor's eyes glowed brighter.
Then something unexpected happened.
The emperor turned its head toward the demon lord.
And roared.
The sky exploded with dragon energy.
Lyra gasped.
"Kai… the dragon emperor just sided with you."
Kai laughed.
"Looks like the dragon team prefers me over demons."
The demon lord growled angrily.
"Then I will kill you all."
The creature charged forward.
Dark flames exploded around its claws.
Kai stepped forward calmly.
Golden energy erupted around his body.
His Dragon Sovereign Aura expanded again.
The entire battlefield trembled.
Drakar spread his wings.
The Dragon Emperor roared again.
And above them…
The Sovereign Dragon watched silently.
Kai smiled.
"Alright."
"Let's see if a demon lord can survive a dragon army."
But just as the battle was about to begin—
The dimensional gate behind the demon lord suddenly shook again.
CRAAAAACK.
Another terrifying presence stirred inside the portal.
Even the demon lord froze.
Lyra whispered in fear.
"That's impossible…"
Kai frowned.
"What now?"
Lyra pointed toward the gate.
"Kai…"
"That demon lord…"
"…is running."
Kai blinked.
"Wait."
"Why would a demon lord run?"
Because something far more terrifying was about to come through the gate.
What creature could scare both dragons and demon lords?
Why does the Sovereign bloodline attract monsters from every world?
And what power will awaken when Kai truly becomes the Dragon Sovereign?
What will happen next?
