Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Did you even ask me before laying a hand on my pet?"

A cruel smile crept across Timothy's face as he clenched his fist, gathering power before unleashing a relentless barrage of punches.

Sure, dragon bodies are tough, but that just means they can take more hits.

Timothy had never come across a punching bag this durable before.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Pinning Aegir down in the rubble, Timothy pummeled him without mercy.

The sheer force of his blows caused the ground at the ocean's depths to tremble violently.

Aegir's once-majestic dragon face was now bruised and battered, his features caved in from the beating.

"Timothy, how dare you!"

Boom!

Another punch landed, and Aegir was left bleeding, too terrified to utter another word.

"You filthy human, how dare you treat the Second Prince like this!"

The elder dragons who had stayed out of the fight with Azura were finally enraged. Several massive dragon forms turned toward Timothy, their murderous intent palpable.

Azura was still locked in battle, while Timothy hurled Aegir's broken body into the ruins, nearly killing him on the spot.

At the same time, several dragons circled above the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon, their killing intent focused entirely on Timothy.

These dragons had followed Aegir from the start.

Even now, with Azura's power surging and the realization that they might have backed the wrong side, they couldn't turn back.

To secure their positions, they knew they couldn't let either Azura or Timothy leave alive today.

Yet, some dragons could sense that the elders supporting Aegir were starting to lose ground.

If this kept up, Azura might actually have a chance to turn the tide! Find adventures at m v lem|p-yr

But just then, a sudden undercurrent surged above the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon, and within the raging waves, three incredibly powerful auras emerged.

The waves roared on, and faint flashes of lightning flickered in the sky.

Amidst these overwhelming forces, the entire Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon seemed to be under pressure.

"Is that…?"

Everyone instinctively looked up.

But when they saw the source of those three auras, the dragons secretly supporting Azura felt a chill run down their spines.

Amidst the towering waves, three figures appeared—none other than the Flame Dragon King, the Storm Dragon King, and the Frost Dragon King!

Aside from Azura, the other three Dragon Kings had all gathered here.

And these ancient dragons, each over ten thousand years old, were from the same generation as Azura's father.

What could these three Dragon Kings possibly want?

"Timothy, my young friend," the Frost Dragon King began, "we've heard of your exploits in the Sky Sanctuary and respect your talents as a rising star. However, could I trouble you not to interfere in the matters of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon? The selection of the Ocean Dragon King is an internal affair of our kind.

While you may have a pact with Azura, this is not something an outsider should meddle in."

Though his tone seemed gentle, the icy chill in his words made it clear where the three Dragon Kings stood.

They had come together to solidify Aegir's position!

"I can't believe Aegir would go this far!"

"Bringing in Dragon Kings from other domains to meddle in the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon's affairs—he's completely violated our traditions!"

Aegir's actions had sparked widespread discontent among the dragons of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

But with three Dragon Kings backing Aegir, they could only swallow their anger and keep quiet.

At this rate, Azura might really be in danger!

Aegir had already anticipated every possible outcome.

By summoning the three Dragon Kings, he aimed to turn the battle for the Ocean Dragon King's throne into an internal matter for the dragons. This way, even if Azura had ties with Goddess Sylvia, the goddess would be reluctant to intervene.

Such tactics were truly despised by the dragon clan!

"Heh, Timothy, are you still planning to interfere? Or are you thinking of completely meddling in our dragon clan's affairs and taking on three Dragon Kings at once?"

Dragging his battered body out of the rubble, Aegir's voice was filled with mockery.

The three elder dragons hovered above the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon, each possessing the power of the Ocean's Gate realm. Such a formidable lineup would be unshakable by any force, let alone Timothy, who stood alone.

Thunder rumbled, echoing through the depths of the ocean, reaching the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

The three Dragon Kings fixed their gaze on Timothy, deliberately exuding waves of overwhelming dragon might.

"Timothy, do you really want to make enemies of us?"

"What do you think?" Timothy replied casually, spreading his hands.

He could sense that he was just a hair's breadth away from the threshold of the Ocean's Gate. The faint barrier that remained could be shattered with just one final push.

And these three elder dragons seemed to be the perfect opportunity.

"Dragon Kings? I still think a Dragon King that meows would be more interesting. More importantly, do you really think you're stronger than my wife?"

"Wife? What wife?" The three Dragon Kings were momentarily stunned by his words.

But in that instant, Timothy's body shot forward.

In the blink of an eye, he was standing before Aegir, who had just been gloating and mocking him.

With a single punch, Aegir's body was sent flying.

The force was immense, the impact thunderous. The punch left Aegir bleeding from every orifice, his dragon essence dissipating.

Timothy's hand became a blade, slicing through Aegir's body, and he forcibly ripped out a dragon tendon!

"Ahhh!"

Aegir's spirit was nearly shattered, and with his dragon tendon torn out, blood gushed forth, staining the surrounding sea red.

The excruciating pain drove Aegir to the brink of madness, his dragon body trembling in agony.

Combined with the effects of Drake's Bloodroot, his consciousness was almost completely obliterated.

In just a matter of seconds, Aegir was as good as destroyed, left in a state worse than death.

And all of this happened right in front of the three Dragon Kings.

"Timothy, how dare you do such a thing!"

The three Dragon Kings were utterly enraged.

To cripple Aegir right before their eyes was akin to spitting in their faces.

"The Four Dragon Kings are protected by the entire World of Elant, with deep-rooted power. While we respect Goddess Sylvia, that doesn't mean she can truly do anything to us. Timothy, since you're courting death, don't think Goddess Sylvia can save you. Do you really believe the three of us are just a joke?"

The dragon might surged in fury, a vast and overwhelming pressure radiating in all directions.

In that moment, every dragon and Sea Folk who witnessed the scene felt a tremor in their hearts, an instinctive fear rising from their very blood.

All the sea creatures fled in terror, horrified by the terrifying power on display.

The three Ocean's Gate Dragon Kings stood atop the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon, their immense dragon might locking onto Timothy, their killing intent unmistakable.

At that moment, it felt as if the entire ocean trembled in fear!
