Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

conds, his vision gradually returned.

“I…I'm…alive?”

The entire castle of the city lord was blown through.

Lord Segon was horrified to find that there were many charred bodies littered in a disordered heap around him, including the gnome Hero who had been urging him on suppressing the rebellion just a few seconds ago.

He lifted his head.

The ceiling had been toppled over.

The massive opening revealed a sky of dark clouds pressing down, with flashes of bloody lightning incessantly pulsating.
A dragon made of elemental lightning, with a body length of nearly two hundred meters, blinking and moving with an extreme speed in the sky above the castle.

An elemental dragon?

Dragonkind was already very rare.

And elemental dragons were a theoretical species that should not appear on this continent even if they did exist.

Segon did not have time to contemplate.

The blood-red lightning interwoven dragon launched another attack.

No one could see its speed clearly, like a huge lightning bolt flashing in an instant, and like a thunderous waterfall, it instantly swept through the ogre residential area of Thousand Fangs City.

It was too fast.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of ogres were struck by the bloody lightning.

Screaming in agony, they turned into charred remains in the scorching heat and violent electric currents.

It was a nightmare incarnate!

Some ogres attempted to put up resistance.

However, physical attacks were useless against this powerful elemental life form and even magical attacks had very little effect.

This lightning dragon was almost invincible.

The defense of the Thousand Fangs City was virtually useless, and within a minute or two of its rampaging, the torrent of lightning had already stormed dozens of locations with its astonishing speed.

Eventually.

All of the lightning gathered and converged.

Its elemental form was canceled, and in its place was a majestic golden dragon, eight to nine meters long and covered in dark golden scales.

The demon king had lifted his transformation.

He revealed himself before the people of Thousand Fangs City.

The twenty Inferno Warmonger Royal Guards and the ten Inferno Mystic Royal Guards were summoned.
A total of thirty Level 4 lord units were standing guard around the dragon, each emitting a powerful and intimidating aura.

“Who…are you?”

Segon's voice trembled uncontrollably.

The dragon itself was horrifyingly powerful enough, and yet each of the thirty guards surrounding it also possessed terrifying strength!

When did such a frightening force appear in Chaos Forest?

Then, the majestic and overbearing voice of the Dragon Demon King echoed, “I am the king of the Darkness City, and the lord of Chaos Forest.
Now, you are bestowed a chance to make a choice.”

“Either submit to me.”

“Or be burned into ashes.”

“You have one day to consider!”

After the Demon King declared his intentions, he left with his subordinates.

The king of the Darkness City…

Could he be the Demon King of the Darkness Valley?

Gnome merchants were very informative, and naturally, they had heard of the rumor of the Dragon Demon King's impressive strength.
What they did not anticipate was the extent of the Demon King's extreme power.

Segon asked in a heavy voice, “How are the casualties?”

“City lord, our losses don't seem to be as great as we imagined, but…”

“But what? Speak frankly!”

“All of the gnome Heroes' and ogre Heroes' strongholds in the city had been destroyed by the dragon, and almost all of the Heroes of Thousand Fangs were slaughtered!”

“What?!”

Segon was shocked by the report.

He could have never imagined that the most troublesome issues of the Thousand Fangs City would be completely eliminated by the Demon King's rampage.

Zhang Nu had departed from Thousand Fangs City and took a rest nearby.

Maintaining the form of Evil Dragon of Annihilation depleted too much of his stamina and MP.
But with his blitz-like raid, his goal was perfectly achieved.

He opened up his player interface.

And scanned through the prompts.

[You've slain a Level 2 Hero.
Hero's Soul +1!]

[You've slain a Level 2 Hero.
Hero's Soul +1!]

[You've slain a Level 2 Hero.
Hero's Soul +1!]

[You've slain a Level 2 Hero.
Hero's Soul +1!]

[You've slain a Level 2 Hero.
Hero's Soul +1!]

[……]

[You've slain a Level 4 Hero.
Hero's Soul +1, Skill stone +1!]

The purpose of Zhang Nu's assault on the city was not only to threaten and intimidate, it was also to clear out the Heroes lurking in the city.

With his cheat ability to acquire and see information.

As well as his lightning fast speed from his Evil Dragon of Annihilation's Thunderstorm form.

Zhang Nu has struck at least dozens or so strongholds of Heroes in under two minutes, decimating around a hundred Heroes.

The quality of the Thousand Fangs Heroes was satisfying.

A single Level 4 Hero, 15 Level 3 Heroes, 43 Level 2 Heroes, and 60 Level 1 Heroes, totaled at 118.

Needless to say.

The result was remarkable.

With the acquisition of this batch of souls.

As well as the gains from the Bloody Fortress siege.

Zhang Nu could almost activate another Level 4 talent soon.

As for the subsequent response of Thousand Fangs City? Zhang Nu was not very worried about it.

If it were the proud elf race or the short-tempered and combative dwarf or orcs, mere intimidation and threats might not work and could even rouse up resistance.

However, the city lord of Thousand Fangs was a gnome.

Gnomes were known for their cunningness, but they were also cowards.

They were natural merchants, with no self-esteem, and only concerned about the profits and losses.
Zhang Nu believed that the city lord and the executive gnomes of Thousand Fangs City would weigh out the pros and cons, ultimately making the correct decision.

The very next day.

Zhang Nu returned to the city.

The ogres and gnomes of the city had already laid down their arms.

Segon, the city lord had led dozens of gnome executives to respectfully kneel before the Demon King, “It is an honor for Thousand Fangs City to serve under Your Majesty.
We are willing to offer up our city and our sincere loyalty to Your Majesty!”

[179823 citizens of Thousand Fangs City have surrendered to you.]

[You've conquered Thousand Fangs City!]

[You gained “Gorgeous Mithril Chest” x1]

Zhang Nu had received the submission prompt.

He was very satisfied.

The cowardly and profit-oriented gnomes, having witnessed the terror of the Demon King, did not have the courage to resist and even led the entire city to surrender without hesitation.

The whole process only took two days.

The Demon King did not spend a single soldier or gold.

Yet he managed to conquer such a large forest city possessing strength surpassing Giantree City and Berserk Beast City.

Now, with Thousand Fangs City in his hands, and tens of thousands of ogre brutes at his disposal, his influence would expand even further and envelope a large region of the Chaos Forest.
The progress of his unification plan was nigh unstoppable.
