Chapter 273: Chapter 268: Slaughter Chapter 273: Chapter 268: Slaughter “So this is the territory of the Archiel family?” riding a Red Dragon and surrounded by fifteen green dragons, Muria surveyed the city below, “They’ve managed it quite well.”

The human race in this world has existed for over a hundred thousand years. Because of the extraordinary powers and the presence of deities, this world has taken a different path from Earth, developing a completely different civilization.

Many civilizations in this world are not backward; in fact, the technology mastered by many races can easily outstrip the cutting-edge technology of earth. Just considering the technology developed and mastered by the Elasian human race would suffice.

Among the humans, the most powerful Ten Great Empires each have mastered interdimensional colonial technology. They can manufacture magical battleships for space travel… Of course, this is a technology mastered by the top human forces. Apart from the Ten Great Empires, the remaining human kingdoms and duchies do not possess such advanced technology.

The difference between individuals can sometimes be so great that an outsider might question whether they belong to the same species. The disparity among nations is even more pronounced, to an extent that is unbelievable.

The technology mastered by the top Elasian human empires is similar to the star civilization depicted in science fiction movies on Earth in the previous world. However, some human kingdoms are still in stages analogous to the medieval feudal times on Earth. The disparity between civilizations is even greater than the distance between the Heavenly Realm and the Abyss.

Of course, the Kingdom of Aub, where Muria currently resides, has not regressed to such an extent, but neither has it advanced much. Its system still resembles a monarchy and a feudal system.

However, this kingdom has mastered space technology which allows for the mass transport of armies. It has also established a teleportation array system that can be used nationwide. Well, these are standard features of a human kingdom.

Despite the regressive system, generally, nobles in a kingdom who have received formal education are not as ignorant and short-sighted as the nobles during the medieval times on Earth. They possess relatively long-term vision.

Thus, any noble with a normal IQ would hardly exploit their subjects like machines or impose taxes that make it impossible for them to survive. Of course, there are few nobles who consider their subjects as equals.

The first city Muria landed in, according to the coordinates provided by the general, was brimming with vitality, not as lifeless as Muria had expected.

“Roar!” As they descended, the Red Dragon Autlain let out a roar that filled the sky, and its fierce Dragon Prestige spread, plunging the vibrant city below into panic. Humans living there started escaping with their families.

Red Dragon! Although they were mostly ordinary humans who had never seen a dragon in their lives, they recognized what the creature was the moment Autlain appeared.

Too familiar. From childhood to adulthood, each human must have heard countless stories and legends about Red Dragons. Of course, they were mostly portrayed as villains.

Due to such repeated exposure, these ordinary humans had formed a basic impression of Red Dragons. The appearance of Red Dragons would inevitably bring about destruction and death. Therefore, upon seeing the Red Dragons, fleeing was the only reaction these humans could muster.

The unfettered Dragon Prestige and the roar that echoed through the city immediately alerted the rulers of the city. From the castle in the center of the city, five streaks of light flew out, landing not far from the group of dragons hovering in the sky.

The figures of one mage and four armored Warriors appeared. Fearfully, they stared at the sixteen Five-colored Dragons in the sky above them. Exchanging glances, they hesitated and did not dare to advance.

Just because several five-colored dragons had not shown any intention to attack, the five humans had the guts to come up for negotiations. However, this group of beasts atop the food chain made them too pressured. Up close, their little courage vanished right away.

“Hmm, if you don’t even have the courage to approach me, why did you bother to come out?” Muria laughed coldly at the shrinking humans, her face full of disdain and arrogance.

“Your Excellency, may I ask who you are?” With a bit of courage, one gold-level warrior ventured to ask.

“I am Muria, the Protector of Demon-Hunter Leon!” announced the black-haired, golden-eyed youth standing atop the Red Dragon, seemingly indifferent.

A demon hunter!? The five powerful members of the Archiel family froze. They instantly understood who the youth controlling the giant dragon was – a Golden Dragon.

“Hand over the person in the Archiel family who ordered the assassination of the demon hunter.”

“Sir. The rebel who ordered the assasination has already been executed by us. His head has been sent to you.” replied the sole mage, with some trepidation.

“Heh, are you saying that ordering the assassination of the Demon Hunter was his personal decision and had nothing to do with your Archiel family?”

“Yes.”

“Did you participate in the discussion of the assassination order?”

“Sir, as I said before, this was the decision of the rebel. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Boom!” Before he could finish his sentence, a searing light pillar shot out from Muria, immediately engulfing the figure of the mage in a large Flame Column. When the column of smoke disappeared, only bits and pieces of black ash and bits of metal fell from the sky.

“Foolish human, I don’t know who gave you the courage to lie in front of a Golden Dragon.” Looking at the other four terrified Gold-level Warriors, Muria spoke indifferently.

A golden Dragon has dozens of semi-magical abilities that don’t need to be learned and can be mastered with age. Among them, the ability to detect lies is one of them. No human can lie in front of a golden dragon.

“Did you four also participate in this matter?”

The four warriors kept silent, two of them even started to make fleeing gestures.

“No answer? It seems you all participated.” With a wave of his hand, Muria sent the four Gold-level green dragons attacking the four pillars of the Archiel family.

Without any surprises, the four gold-level humans, in the face of the onslaught of the four same-level green dragons, had no outcome other than death.

“Let’s go, on to the next place.” Looking down at the city, which had become even more chaotic due to witnessing the execution of their lord, Muria released an ultra-wide-range group immobilization spell for humans. Then, he ordered the Green Dragons to open a teleportation gate and go to the next targeted noble territory.

…
“Just struggling in their death throes!” Muria, who was looking down at the castle below that had been reduced to ruins by Red Dragon Autrial, was expressionless.

This was a place where a noble family tried to use the defensive array in the castle to temporarily resist his attack and then get support through the teleportation array in the castle.

However, Muria directly joined hands with Fiona to seal the space in the castle, and then let Red Dragon and other Green Dragons directly tear down this castle. As for the humans inside, apart from the innocent servants and underage children, all the members of this family were completely slaughtered.
