“Everyone, the enemy is in sight! Prepare to show them the power of Dragon Storm!”

Tang roared and pointed towards the borders of Renacido where Miko and the Vritra Army were facing off.

“So that’s Tang Xian the current leader of Dragon Storm?”

Tara looked at the approaching enemy with interest. She looked at her brother and saw that he had an excited grin on his face. She then looked at Miko and the nearby Zora and saw similar expressions. She nodded as if she understood something.

“I see. So he’s the star attraction.”

Tang and his group pull up at the borders and was immediately the focus of everyone’s attention. Tang smiled and looked at the faces of Miko, Klaus, and Zora.

“Looks like everyone’s here except Kaido. Well, I never expected him to get involved in the first place.”

“Miko.”

At that moment, Momo and others appeared behind Miko with Renacido’s army trailing behind them. They all looked like they were ready to fight at any moment.

“Heh.”

Tang climbed off his bike and Miko did the same. The two then started walking towards each other.

“Wait, Miko!”

“Young Master!”

The two ignored the voices of their respective allies. Soon after, Zora and Klaus descended from the sky at the dismay of their forces. Tara did nothing as they approached Miko and Tang. Everyone watched as the four of them advance towards each other.

Well, everyone except one.

“I’m coming too.”

Luka said as she leaped and landed beside Miko, who said nothing but nodded. The five of them kept walking until they met up at the same point.

“…….”

They all stood in front of each other glaring at their enemy without any signs of being intimidated.

“Five dragons facing off….”

Alec couldn’t help but smiled after witnessing the scene in front of him. Everyone else held their breaths as they felt the tension in the air. Soon they all started to see a scene where five dragons were facing each other while growling. They didn’t know if it’s an hallucination or something created from the clash of auras but no one could deny that they felt tense.

Members of all sides started clenching their weapons. They all knew that this was it. The very next moment they will be plunged into a war where they’ll have slaughter countless to survive. Only one side will survive. There can only be one king!

Tang smiled as he took on the glare of everyone in front of him. And then-

*Bam!*

He kicked Miko under the chin.

“Ahhh!”

*Bam!*

Luka slammed her fist in the center of his face and force him to the ground.

*Bam!*

Klaus then kicked her in the side and forced her back.

*Bam!*

Miko jumped and kneed him in the face before getting slugged by Zora.

“Hahaha!”

Tang laughed and hit Zora with a palm to the chest and Miko with a roundhouse kick. Miko took the kick and then lifted him off the ground with an uppercut. Luka then jumped over him and stomped Klaus into the ground before he could attack Miko. Zora then swept her feet off the ground and then aimed a stomp at her head which she avoided by rolling out of the way.

“It’s been a while, Miko!”

Tang rushed towards Miko with his fist clenched.

“It has been, Tang!”

Miko did the same. The two entered each other’s range and pulled their arms back and threw the strongest punch that they could.

*BAM!*

An explosive sound rung out as their respective fist hit their target’s face.

“!”

Seeing the young dragons going at it, something clicked inside the warriors of each faction. It was as if a dam had burst inside them.

“Renacido!”

“Dragon Storm!”

“Rakshasa Squad!”

Momo, Tara, and Xiao Zhi all shouted in unison.

“Kill all enemies!”

“OHHHHHH!”

The soldiers from three sides all rushed at each other with the young dragons still going at it.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

In an instant, the borders of Renacido were swallowed by numerous explosions caused by countless clashes. Each factions’ fighters had high-powered weapons and weren’t afraid to use it. One squeeze of the triggers would cause dozens being blown away.

“Ahhhh!”

Warriors roared as they charged at their enemies with swords, Spears, and various weapons. Disgusting crushing voices echoed in everyone’s ears that came from the flesh and bones of their enemies and allies alike being pummeled.

“Long live Renacido!”

“Glory to Dragon Storm!”

“Die in the name of Vritra!”

Each side shouted their respective war cries as blood danced in the air around and occasionally stained their skin and clothes.

“Hahaha! Now this is war!”

Tang shouted as he avoided attacks from enemies and countered with viscous attacks of his own. With everyone rushing towards each other his battle with his fellow proxies naturally got interrupted.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

He saw crimson flames erupting and devour countless of his own forces along with enemies. He looked and saw a crimson haired man walking towards him with everyone around him being burnt to crisp.

“Leon Saevus…”

Tang naturally recognized Miko’s father.

“So you’re Tang Xian?”

To Tang, Leon looked like a demon fresh from hell as he approached.

“I have a bone to pick with you, brat.”

The flames around Leon grew even more intense.

“You have something to say to my son?”

Fang pushed Tang behind him while stepping forward.

“If so, you have say it to me first.”

“Father or son, it doesn’t matter. Your bloodline ends today.”

“Bold words.”

Leon and Fang rushed towards each other at the same time. Crimson flames gathering around Leon and blood-like water gathering around Fang.

“Crimson Murder!”

“Bloody Wave!”

*BAM!*

The clash of crimson flames and water caused a huge explosion of steam. Fang and Leon flew out of the steam and immediately entered an intense melee.

*Bam!*

Tang heard another explosion and saw Tara firing a barrage of arrows while avoiding beams of lights that were being fired at her. The one who was fighting her was Momo, who had magic circles projecting in front of her.

Tara leaped in the air and fired a giant ice arrow. Momo thrust her palm out and projected a magic circle which blocked the arrow and then destroyed it. Momo then thrust her other palm forward and a magic circle appeared under Tara, who was flying with her wings. A light pillar then burst out the circle and hit Tara.

“Ugh!”

Her skin started burning causing her to groan in pain. A magic circle appeared under Momo’s feet which propelled her towards Tara. She swung her hand to the side and a giant sword appeared beside her. She thrust her hand and the sword flew towards Tara.

“Devour!”

Suddenly the light that was burning her was sucked inside her mouth which was suddenly like a blackhole.

“Ha!”

She then spat the light at Momo’s sword and destroyed it. This shocked Momo who was standing on a magic circle in the air.

“What was that?”

“Young Master!”

Tang who was watching the battle became focus after hearing Xue Bao’s voice. He looked and saw Kirika charging towards him with a sword in her hand.

“Like I’ll let you!”

Xue Bao rushed past Tang and clashed against Kirika’s blade with his bare hand.

“You again, old fart?!”

“Don’t underestimate us, brats!”

*Bam!*

Suddenly a scarlet light fell from the sky and landed on top of Xue Bao.

“We meet again, Geezer!”

Alec said while stomping on Xue Bao.

“That’s not one but two times now!”

*Bam!*

A powerful wave of energy blew Alec and Kirika away. Xue Bao looked at them with blue tiger-like eyes.

“You’ll pay for humiliating me!”

“Shut up! I’m gonna crave you up for cutting my precious skin!”

Alec and Kirika faced Xue Bao who was overflowing with bloodlust. The sibling duo moved in unison and charged at their enemy. Xue Bao move with a lightning fast speed and quickly reached them. He released his claws and slashed at Kirika’s head. Kirika impressively duck under it, Alec then came from behind her with a drop kick. Xue Bao easily evaded it and slashed at Alec’s neck.

“Raging Dragon Style: Upward Flowing Dragon Stream!”

*Bam!*

Xue Bao’s arm was hit by a lightning fast attack and forced upwards. He looked and then saw Kirika crouching in front of him with her hand on her sword.

“Raging Dragon Style: Improvised Black Dragon Twister!”

*Bam!*

Before Xue Bao could react he found himself spinning in the air like a propeller. He then saw Alec appear in front of him with blood flowing from his arm.

“Bloodflame….!”

He slammed his bloody fist on Xue Bao’s chest.

“Exploding Blood!”

*Bam!*

The blood on Alec’s hand exploded like a bomb and blew Xue Bao towards the ground.

“You little shit!”

Xue Bao twisted his body and landed on his feet. Alec then saw him disappear.

*Bam!*

“Ugh?!”

He suddenly felt a heavy blow to the stomach.

“Don’t get carried away!”

Xue Bao roared and forced Alec away. Alec shot through the sky like an arrow and disappeared in the distance.

Xue Bao landed on the ground and looked at Kirika.

“You’re next.”

Kirika didn’t say anything and gripped her sword tight to show her fighting spirit.

“……”

Tang who was watching this had a huge smile on his face. He looked around and saw violent acts everywhere he looked. He saw a Vritra soldier being ripped to pieces by a pack of winged lions. He then saw a dragon storm soldier filling a elf corpse with bullets before collapsing and dying soon after. He saw a Vritra soldier tear off the head of a Renacido soldier before being skewered by that soldier’s allies’ spear.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

The sounds of explosions formed a song in his ears that mixed perfectly with the agonizing screams of people dying. The smell of burning flesh entered his nose, which followed by the iron-like stench of blood and stimulating smell of gunpowder. Blood and pieces of flesh would occasionally splash on him; even going into his mouth when he had it open making him experience the taste of a random dead person.

“Haa…”

His body trembled as he experienced all these things from all of his sense.

“Nice, isn’t it?”

He looked to his side and saw Miko standing not too far away from.

“This is war in its most graphic form. This is literally hell manifesting in this world.”

Miko smiled.

“Stimulating isn’t it?”

“You feel the same?”

Tang asked.

“Of course. I love chaos. Much more than anyone can understand.”

Miko pointed at him.

“This is what you wanted right, Tang? You wanted to experience death in its purest form. Then relish in the feeling because death is all around us. I’m sure you feel alive.”

Tang nodded.

“I feel so alive. I might not care if I die today.”

Miko started frowning at Tang’s words.

“I can’t agree with on that one. I want to live. I have people that needs me alive. So I plan on living for a long time.”

“And here I thought that we were like two peas in a pod.”

“Oh, please. I’m not like you. I may love destruction and mayhem but I also love relaxing and hanging out with my family and friends. I would never put the former above the latter.”

This time Tang stopped smiling.

“Yet you helped create this chaotic scene where they all can die?”

“They won’t die. Just as they need me alive they know that I need them alive as well. Because of that, they’ll spit in the face of death until their mouths dry up.”

Tang sighed.

“We really aren’t alike. I would never believe such naïve nonsense.”

Miko started laughing.

“That’s why you’ll die here and I’ll go on to celebrate with my friends. Everyone needs a little naïveté in their hearts to keep going through all the shit they’ll face in life.”

“Enough. A clash of ideals is expected between us. There’s nothing to make a big deal out of.”

Tang took a fighting stance and a wide grin appeared on his face.

“I’ll just enjoy my fight with you here without thinking about anything else.”

“Let’s do that.”

*BOOM!*

Suddenly a deafening explosion occurred in the middle of the battle. This explosion immediately caused all parties to halt and looked towards the source. There they saw someone with feminine features; despite wearing male clothes, azure and purple hair, and a sword on their waist. When the Vritra Army and Dragon Storm saw who it was all of them without fail started to tremble and slowly back away. If it wasn’t for the fact that they all felt weak in the knees they would’ve started running. They didn’t know if it was their dragon instincts but everyone including Tang, Klaus and Zora felt the urge to kneel before that person worship them. They spoke his name with reverence and excitement in their voice.

“Demon Dragon Emperor, Nero.”

Nero looked everyone with a cold gaze and spoke.

“Are you brats trying to destroy my empire?”
