Sanu was dead.

As the mountainous dragon disintegrated into dust, his restless soul also vanished at the same moment, like leaves swept away by the autumn wind, disappearing into the dust.

All that remained was a broken long spear.

And that spear seemed to foreshadow the fate of the Earth Dragon clan.

A look of despair appeared on every Lizardman's face.

It wasn't just their arrogant Clan Leader who had lost his soul, but it seemed that their very souls were taken away by the wind that dispersed the giant dragon.

It was over.

The Earth Dragon clan no longer existed.

From this point on, the sole ruler of the first level of the Underground Maze was someone—

it was none other than Lord Demon King.

[Server Announcement: Congratulations to all players of "Great Graveyard's First Skeleton Brigade"! You have achieved a complete victory in the Silver Pine Forest encounter battle! War rewards will be distributed soon...]

A dark green pop-up appeared before all the players, as celebratory cheers echoed through the forest-covered riverbanks.

"Long live Lord Demon King!!!"

"Aooo aooo!!!"

"Loot! Divide the loot!!! GKD!!!"

"Oh oh oh, one female Lizardman each!"

"What the fuck?! What do you want that thing for?!"

"That's too hardcore, man!"

"None of your business! Can't I grill and eat?!"

"You're going to eat that corpse as a tribute?!"

"Vom—"!

"..."

The noisy sounds were incessant.

Unfortunately, those creaking noises were only understandable to the players themselves or Luo Yan; to outsiders, those were just the noise made by the skeleton soldiers.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of fearful expressions the Lizardmen would have shown.

"So strong!!! Absolutely incredible!!"

Excited, Mi Xi flew several laps in the sky before finally remembering that she hadn't actually exerted any effort. Her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly flew toward the Demon King.

"Lord Demon King! Are you unharmed? Mi Xi is here to heel, heel, heal you!"

What she meant to say was to help, but the battle on the ground had already ended, and it seemed her help was no longer needed.

The surviving Lizardmen threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground, repenting their betrayal and begging the Demon King for forgiveness.

Even the unbeatable dragon had fallen before the Demon King. There was no reason to continue fighting.

A light drizzle enveloped the forest, scorched by fierce flames, with a veil-like mist, and the silent forest seemed to regain its former vibrancy.

A shivering squirrel peeked out from a bush, and a starving crow landed on the charred branches burned by the Dragon Breath.

Riding an Earth Cave Spider, Luo Yan waved at the players, instructing Youyou to cancel their conscription status and updating the task for transporting the spoils.

Such a commotion would inevitably attract the attention of nearby human villages and towns. It's better to clean up the battlefield quickly.

At that moment, Mi Xi landed in front of him, disregarding the mud on the ground and crawling on it, stutteringly uttered her greetings.

"Lord Demon King, are are you alright?"

Looking at the Little Demon that landed in front of him, Luo Yan said in a casual tone,

"I'm fine, and you?"

"I I I am too!" Mi Xi nervously replied without daring to lift her head, falteringly speaking.

"What a disgrace," Alakdo loomed over her with a haughty air, his tone menacing, "Always running at the first sign of a fight, just like a Little Demon."

After defeating the dragon, Alakdo seemed to think he had done well again.

But he wasn't wrong.

Among many underground creatures, the morale of insect units is one of the highest; even if the leaders flee, their followers might not necessarily do so.

Luo Yan patted the head of his mount, signaling him to shut up, and then looked at the little fellow who was so nervous he was almost suffocating.

"It's okay, get up, the ground is dirty."

"Yes, yes!"

"..."

Luo Yan knew why the fellow seemed guilty, but he did not blame her for it.

Facing a group of rebels, there was no need to involve the troops of his vassals.

His plan was originally just to have her watch from the side, then convey the news of the Demon Army's sweeping victory over the Earth Dragon clan back to the Land of Nightmare.

Although there was a slight mishap in the process, the result was not much different.

Seeing that the Demon King had forgiven her, Mi Xi finally let out a sigh of relief and quietly wiped the sweat mingled with rainwater from her face.

As expected of Lord Demon King...

He completely disregards even legendary creatures like dragons!

However, there was one thing she didn't understand: how had those serpents managed to summon a creature of the dragon's caliber?

And—

Why, after that dragon died, not even a body was left behind.

She had actually wanted to try the taste of dragon meat...

After sending Mi Xi away, Luo Yan took out the mirror he carried with him from his pocket and checked his attribute panel.

This look startled him as his eyes met the experience bar.

"Seven hundred thousand experience?!"

Good heavens!

Solo killing the spirit of the dragon had actually allowed him two levels up!

This must mean not only the experience provided by Sanu but also a significant part from that unnamed dragon.

Beyond excitement, Luo Yan couldn't help feeling sentimental.

If it weren't for Linte Isaac's calamity system which finely quantified and categorized the strength tiers for Fine Steel level, perhaps he wouldn't even have realized his strength had increased, or even if he did, he might have confused it with the blessings of the Dragon God.
