Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

The young city lord's expression grew serious.

Although she knew that the chieftain Marilyn harbored no ill intentions.

She could not allow her to have her way.

Nancilia was very well aware despite having a strong power, her abilities in other aspects were barely mediocre and very lackluster, and she lacked the ability to lead a tribe towards revival and prosperity.

If she was to be taken by Marilyn and was forcibly made to be the leader of the elven race, it would only harm her people and the tribe would be led to destruction.

This was the first time for Nancilia to volunteer to undertake a mission and she made a resolute vow in completing the task.

If she failed, the Demon King would be severely disappointed.

Nancilia did not want to let him down.

She thought for a moment and exclaimed, "Elders, you may step aside."

"But..."

"It's alright, let me handle this."

The two elders stared at each other and reluctantly stepped back.

"Am I finally getting through? Be obedient and come with me, fulfill your destiny as a true Elven King!"

The chieftain Marilyn revealed with a smile, "Leading our race to glory is your mission, one that has been predetermined since your birth."

"I'm willing to make a bet with you!" Nancilia declared.

The elven chieftain was slightly taken aback.

She seemed sensitive to the word "bet".

"A bet? What kind of bet? I love making bets with people, so what will the stakes be?"

The young city lord plunged the Elven King's scepter into the ground. "Let's have a fair contest. If you win, I'll go with you to Silver Spring City. If you lose, you'll come with me to Giantree City. What say you?"

"Interesting!"

The elven chieftain chuckled. "I have been recognized as the top talent of the Silver Spring tribe for hundreds of years, having reached the Level 4 in both magic and martial arts. Are you sure you want to challenge me?"

The young city lord nodded. "Let's do it!"

The elven queen's expression changed. "I didn't expect you to be so confident. Very well, ready your scepter."

Instead of her own Elven King's scepter.

Nancilia borrowed the second elder's staff, "Since this is a contest, we should have a level playing field. I'll use this equipment."

Marilyn was displeased.

This was the first time someone had looked down on her.

Especially when it was someone who was merely a young foolish girl.

Even she possessed the bloodline of the Elven King.

She had yet to fully awaken her powers.

She was not a true Elven King yet.

This youngster was too arrogant and needed to be taught a profound lesson!

"Watch yourself!"

With a stomp of her foot, Marilyn turned into a blur and charged towards Nancilia. She drew her longbow with her left hand, and delivered a sweeping strike.

Her bow had a peculiar design.

The bowstring could be retracted.

The ends of the bow wings had razor sharp blades.

It could be used as a dual-headed blade in close combat.

Nancilia sensed a vicious Qi approaching with an astounding speed, she swiftly unleashed a magic spell in response, summoning a layer of Starlight Shield to block the incoming attack.

Bang!

Marilyn was pushed back several meters with a look of surprise on her face.

"That's a powerful magic shield. It seems that I've underestimated you. In that case, I won't hold back anymore."

As she spoke.

The bow string popped out and reattached.

Marilyn pulled the longbow.

Her Qi coalesced into a bolt of powerful energy arrow.

She suddenly made an abrupt and instantaneous movement and shot the magic shield from behind.

"Impressive!"

Nancilia was equally surprised as her.

The appearance of the elven chieftain did not seem particularly old.

And yet she had attained the strength of a Level 4 overlord.

Which was not inferior to most of the other tribal chieftains among the elves.

During the heyday of the Giantree Forest tribe three hundred years ago, the legendary tribe leader was also a Level 4 overlord before he was resurrected as an undead mage, causing his power to diminish.

In addition.

Marilyn was skilled in both magic and martial arts.

She not only had exceedingly formidable Qi power and combat skills but was also proficient in using a variety of high-level magic, including instantaneous movement.

Because of this.

She was even more difficult to deal with than most other Level 4 overlords.

Nonetheless, Nancilia was calm and composed. Afterall, her strength had reached the ceiling of Level 4 overlord.

Even without the Elven King scepter in hand.

She was not someone that an average Level 4 overlord could compete against.

Marilyn had shot several arrows, yet she was unable to break through the magic shield. She realized that in terms of MP and magical power, the other party was superior to her.

Without any further deliberation.

Nancilia finished casting her spell.

"Spirit of the wind!"

"I summon thee!"

A wind elemental overlord summoned by the Elemental Covenant emerged before them, which instantly unleashed a torrent of hundreds of wind blades, pouring towards the chieftain.

"What the hell!"

Marilyn was stupefied.

She had witnessed summoning magic before.

But she had never seen someone who could command an elemental overlord.

The wind elemental overlord had incredible movement and attack speed, which was adequate to deal with an agile and elusive fighter like her.

After thirty or forty rounds of clashing.

They were at a stalemate.

"Spirit of the earth!"

"Riseth to mine commandeth!"

Nancilia activated her Elemental Covenant once more.

Countless dirt and debris converged and gathered in thin air, eventually forming an earth elemental overlord.

Seeing this sight.

Marilyn's heart sank.

How could creatures of such magnitude in power be summoned continuously? Could this be the true power of an Elven King?

"Gravity Lockdown!"

Right after being summoned, the earth elemental overlord activated its powerful area of effect skill.

Within a hundred meters, trees collapsed under their own weight one after another, the ground caved in. Gravity seemed to have been amplified a hundredfold, leaving Marilyn's movements to be awfully difficult.

The wind elemental overlord, however, remained unaffected. It raised and thrusted its wind spear towards the chieftain with an alarming speed.

This had left Marilyn no choice.

She activated her instantaneous movement.

Marilyn blinked out of the gravity lockdown's radius.

The two elemental lords immediately pursued her.

When there was only one elemental overlord, Marilyn could still manage to hold her own and occasionally launched a few attacks towards Nancilia.

Now, she was being overwhelmed by two elemental overlord.

She was left with no room for retaliation.

She could only focus on evasion and defense.

The sole reason that the elven chieftain was still bitterly struggling in this contest was because she hoped that the young city lord's MP would run out.

After all.

Maintaining the summoning of two elemental overlords would be no small cost of MP.

"Spirit of the ice!"

"Answereth mine call!"

The temperature abruptly dropped by dozens of degrees.

The earth beneath them was encased in a layer of ice.

Another towering giant composed of ice emerged.

Marilyn stared in disbelief, her eyes widened in shock.

The ice elemental overlord raised its hands and was about to summon a blizzard.

"I concede!"

She wimped out.

Nancilia was sweating profusely, sustaining and maintaining three elemental overlords was indeed a significant burden on her MP, but she was far from her limit.

This young elven girl.

Her strength was terrifying!

Even without the Elven King scepter.

She still possessed such formidable prowess.

If she had the scepter in hand, could she summon a fourth or even a fifth elemental overlord? Wouldn't she become unparalleled among her peers of the same level?

Nancilia waved her hand.

And the three elemental overlord was unsummoned and disappeared.

She returned the staff to the second elder and re-equipped her Elven King scepter, "Sister Marilyn, it appears that I've won by a fluke."

Marilyn was still shaken from the fight, "No! Luck had no part in that contest. Even if we fought ten more times, the outcome would not change. I humbly accept my defeat."

However.

Having that said.

She exclaimed with an expression brimming with discontent, "You are obviously powerful and your strength, exceptional!"

"Why do you serve under a mere Demon King?"

Nancilia shook her head sternly, "You don't understand. You don't know him. You can't even beat me just now. If His Majesty arrives in person, the elves of the Silver Spring City would be done for!"

"What do you mean? Is he even stronger than you?"

Nancilia revealed the truth plainly, "His Majesty is the king of dragons!"

"King of dragons?!"

Marilyn was utterly appalled by this fact.

Dragon itself was already a mighty being.

If the Demon King truly was a king amongst dragons, then its power and might would be unimaginably horrifying. It was no wonder the young city lord would make such a statement.

Nancilia continued, "Let alone the Demon King, I'm not even confident in defeating the two right-hand men of his."

Zhang San and Li Si.

The two lieutenants of the Demon King.

Both of them were at the peak of Level 4 overlords.

However, the young city lord was being modest.

If it came down to a purely one-on-one fight.

Nancilia still had a 60% to 70% chance of winning.

It was true that Zhang San and Li Si were indeed formidable, but one of them was a commander, and the other, a support. They were not units specialized in single combat.

"Nonetheless, the reason why I chose to join forces with the Demon King isn't due to my fear for his immense power!", Nancilia asserted.

"Even if he is incredibly strong, I would not have pledged my allegiance to him if I didn't approve of him."

Upon hearing her claims.

Marilyn became curious about the Demon King.

If he verily was a dragon king, then perhaps this would not be too unacceptable.

The status and rarity of a dragon king were indeed above that of a king of the elves.

Nancilia then said, "Anyway, since you lost the bet, you have to fulfill your promise. Please come with me to Giantree City."

Marilyn sighed, "I admit my defeat in the bet, but it doesn't mean I'm willing to pledge allegiance to the Demon King!"

Nancilia revealed a slight smile.

She believed that as long as the other party was willing to follow her back, she had already succeeded halfway.

This elven chieftain was by no means weak. In fact, she could stand against two elemental overlords with her masteries over magic and martial arts.

It would be great if she could join their ranks.

Not only could Silver Spring City be subjugated without bloodshed.

The Demon King would also have another fearsome warrior under his command!
