Reborn as the Dragon King's Son-In-Law

"Your Majesty, what do you really want to do to our son? Why did you have to make him sacrifice half of his life?!" The voice of Charles’s father appeared in the Dragon Emperor’s head. Transmitting messages between members of the Dragon race was the most common thing anyone could do. Even external beings can have the ability to transmit messages to each other.

Listening to the question from the head of the Vermillion family, the Dragon Emperor, without hesitation, immediately answered what he had been hiding from his subordinate for a long time. Letting Charles take the Berserker Pill was only a preliminary plan for the Dragon Emperor to launch his full attack on Lilith.

"I will take full responsibility for the sacrifice made by your son. Even though he will turn into a deformed dragon, I swear that I will give full rights to the Vermillion family to control every outer territory in the border area of the Dragonia Kingdom as your own."

Suddenly, silence fell over Charles’s father. Even though his son was much more important than the Vermillion family’s interests, obtaining full rights to own territory beyond the borders of the Dragonia Kingdom was the Vermillion family’s initial goal in order to suppress the Lucifer family to its roots.

"I beg you not to let my only son die at the hands of that human. I only hope that Your Majesty can let our only legal heir live."

"Don’t worry. I promised that I wouldn’t let him die. After all, I was also the one who gave that Berserker Pill to your son."

A sigh could be heard coming from Charles’s father. The expression on his face looked lifeless. Charles’s father was actually happy when he heard about the compensation given by the Dragon Emperor to the Vermillion family, but he couldn’t let his only son sacrifice his life just for the benefit of the empire.

A small grin appeared on the Dragon Emperor’s face. His gaze returned to the side where the members of the Vermillion family were. No one from the imperial side commented on the actions taken by their master towards the successor of the Vermillion family.

Within 500 miles, a dragon who was now preparing to shoot an arrow seemed to emit a sharp and mysterious aura. The moment the dragon opened its eyes, everything around him seemed to move in slow motion.

"Target locked. Ready to fire at any time."

"Immediately fire your arrow. He is already weakening. Don’t hold back your attack. The order given by His Majesty is absolute. As long as we can finish off that human, we will have complete control over this game that has been going on for hundreds of years."

Not a single trace of hesitation could be seen on the face of the dragon preparing to shoot his arrow. The sharp gazes of the two dragons gave a sense of intimidation to the comrades below them. Ignoring the disgusting smile from his partner, the dragon immediately fired his attack without caring about the sunny weather this morning.

"Wait and see whether it can injure that man or not. As long as no one interferes with the arrow’s trajectory, that human won’t be able to withstand it."

The speed of the arrow shot by the dragon surpassed the speed of sound. In less than a few seconds, the arrow had reached half of the imperial capital. But still, I felt a slight sense of danger as I prepared to release the attacks from those dozens of ice lotuses.

Unable to hide my surprise, Shelia’s voice rang out from the front of the spectators and showed a face full of worry. The reaction speed shown by Shelia in sensing the arrow attack secretly launched by the empire was much faster than that of Athena and Elize.

"Brother-in-law! Don’t be careless! Stop your attack first and just focus on stopping those arrows!"

Unfortunately, I wasn’t completely able to stop the attack technique I had previously created. The amount of mana contained within those dozens of lotuses didn’t allow me to cancel the attack instantly. Therefore, I couldn’t help but decide to throw the dozens of lotuses towards the side from which the arrow had been fired at me.

There was no sign that the arrow would stop advancing towards me. On the contrary, the arrow’s speed was much faster than what had been seen before.

Even though more than a dozen ice lotuses at full power crashed into that single arrow, there was no effect whatsoever in reducing its speed. I could only refocus on strengthening my defenses to withstand the attack.

The enormous shock wave destroyed every facility within the imperial capital. All the glass windows in the residences of the imperial citizens were shattered due to the collision between my power and that single arrow. For some reason, almost half of the imperial capital turned into a sea of ice that nearly spread to its outer edges.

Luckily, every citizen in the empire was able to survive despite the devastating attack unleashed by my power. From the start, the attack I created was only focused on defeating Charles. Therefore, I wouldn’t act foolishly and get myself into trouble with the empire.

"What is this? Almost all the buildings in the capital have turned into a sea of ice! What actually happened in that arena?"

Lucius’s mouth continuously showed an intense grind between his teeth. His gaze turned to the place where Lilith had been. However, Lilith’s figure had completely disappeared from her spot, to the point that even Lucius himself didn’t realize what had happened.

"Could it be... Lilith? What are you going to do? Even though she herself said not to act as she pleases, but..."

There was no expression on Lucius’s face. His mind was constantly occupied with thoughts of Lilith, who was trying her best to protect their son-in-law from enemy attacks.

Once again, Lucius’s face showed concern. His gaze, which had previously been focused below, shifted again towards his daughters. The figures of Athena and Shelia disappeared at the same time as Elize from the front of the spectators.

"Heilde, Ariel, where are your two older sisters?!"

"They just went to help brother-in-law. Just look up there in the sky. They were even blocked by the Dragon Emperor’s seventy-two guards."

Various powerful presences could be seen hovering in the sky. Even the followers of the Dragon Emperor had taken action to block the Dragonia Kingdom’s path. Since the beginning, both sides had grudges that needed to be settled.

Since this was the moment when the empire was carrying out its sneak attack against the Dragonia Kingdom, they had fully prepared to destroy the Dragonia Kingdom until it was completely annihilated. However, that still didn’t guarantee that the Dragon Emperor would survive every attack from Lilith.

The fight between the Dragon Emperor and Lilith had already begun before the people among the spectators realized the power of the arrow aimed at Lucien. Perhaps that was also the reason why the followers of the Dragon Emperor decided to leave their positions and fight face-to-face against the Dragonia Kingdom.

"Only Dragon King Stage and Great Dragon King Stage dragons? Do you all think that you can fight against us, Dragon Emperor Stage dragons and Dragon Overlord Stage dragons?"
