Connie opened her eyes wide and kept retreating, while Kokonoro let out a low roar and pounced forward.
Bang!
Kokonoro was sent flying like a sandbag.
Connie was instantly stunned.
One strike. Just one strike.
The Black Dragon King, who was at the peak of saint-level, was sent flying by his opponent. Just how terrifying was that person in the shadows?
Connie was extremely nervous. Her eyes were fixed on that figure. Just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly froze. She blinked her eyes and cried out in surprise, "Sir Joelson?"
A handsome and tall young man walked out from the shadows. His actions revealed his elegance and great power.
Joelson smiled at Connie and walked to Connie's seat.
At this moment, Kokonoro, who had been punched by Joelson, walked out with a shocked expression. The spot where he had been punched in the chest was still extremely painful.
"Why are you here? How did you become so strong?"
Five years ago, Joelson could barely fight with him. But now, Kokonoro couldn't even take a casual blow from Joelson.
How was this possible?
Joelson glanced at Kokonoro indifferently and said mockingly, "Do you think these five years have been in vain?"
Kokonoro was furious but he was helpless. There was nothing he could do.
Indeed, his path ahead was almost cut off. Meanwhile, Joelson still had unlimited potential. It was normal for his strength to soar.
It was just that he did not know what level of strength he had reached now.
It was absolutely impossible for him to cultivate to the divine realm. Regarding the matter of Joelson cultivating the power of multi-elemental laws, Kokonoro knew that it was also because of this that Connie had tried her best to collect runestones in the runic land.
In just a short five years, it was absolutely impossible for Joelson to gather the power of laws and attain divine rank.
That should be the skeleton that had comprehended the embryonic form of a domain, or in other words, a domain?
When Kokonoro recalled that attack from Joelson, he felt as if all his strength had been frozen. This made him even more certain of his guess.
This was enough to make him envious.
Joelson's current combat power was probably the strongest person under the divine level.
While Kokonoro was indulging in his wild thoughts, Connie respectfully bowed to Joelson. "Lord Joelson, I didn't expect you to actually come."
Joelson nodded slightly and casually flipped through the tax accounts that they hadn't sorted out yet on the table. He said calmly, "Let me see what you've done in the past few years."
Connie took a deep breath. Her eyes were filled with suppressed excitement and anticipation. It was an urge to show off.
"Lord Joelson, please wait a moment."
Connie hurriedly turned around and knocked on the wall twice. A small secret compartment was revealed. Inside were three ordinary-looking silver rings.
Storage rings.
Connie took the three rings and walked in front of Joelson. She picked up one and poured it out.
Crash!
Countless stone runes fell. They were of various colors and shapes, forming a small hill on the ground.
Joelson's eyes lit up. There were probably no less than a few thousand stone runes.
Then Connie picked up the second ring.
Clang! Clang!
The crisp sound of metal colliding.
What entered his eyes was a sheet of golden yellow. The bright golden light made the entire room as bright as day.
Joelson was slightly surprised.
"Gold-rank runes? So many?"
There were at least dozens of gold-rank rune stones.
Thinking back, the Meteor City Lord and the Flame City Lord that Joelson killed were only gold-rank rune warriors.
In the end, Connie grabbed the last ring with a serious expression. When she opened it, a crystal-like brilliant light emitted from her hand.
A ray of light shot out from Joelson's eyes. He stared at Connie's hand and smiled, "Crystal rune stone?"
This crystal rune stone emitted a water-blue light, containing abundant water elemental law power.
Joelson held it in his hand and exerted a little strength.
A crack appeared on the exquisite and beautiful crystal runestone and the blue ball of light emitted from it was swallowed completely by Joelson.
A total of nearly seventy laws energy.
Just a single crystal runestone was enough to save Joelson a lot of hard work.
With the sudden increase in water elemental law energy fused into the domain, one could feel that the domain's power had become even stronger.
"This crystal-grade runestone belongs to the original Lord of Storm City. However, after we arrived, Lord Kokonoro and Lord Lightning joined forces to kill him. Not only did they seize his runestone, but they also replaced him and made me the city lord of Stormwind City."
Connie explained somewhat embarrassedly.
This kind of behavior was similar to bandits. She was worried that Joelson would be unhappy.
However, Joelson no longer acted like this. He only said indifferently, "The strong prey on the weak. They are also squeezing the benefits of ordinary rune warriors."
"However."
Joelson stood among the shining rune stones on the ground and said to Connie, "These are far from enough."
Connie and Kokonoro were stunned. They really could not understand why Joelson needed so many rune stones?
No matter how talented he was or how much nomological power he could control, these runestones were enough to push him to the perfection-stage saint-rank.
Breaking through to the divine realm was not something that could be achieved with just resources.
Joelson did not explain to them. His gaze casually swept across the table as he asked, "Whose invitation?"
"Archduke Isaac from the western city. This is the third time he's tried to invite us to a dinner party. However, we've rejected him before."
"Why did you reject him?"
"Maybe he didn't have any good intentions."
Connie said hesitantly, "The original castellan of Stormwind City was Archduke Isaac's trusted aide. We killed him but Archduke Isaac didn't react at all. Instead, he showed tacit approval towards this matter. It's very strange."
"Go."
Joelson said casually, "I'll go with you."
"Yes, my lord."
Connie simply nodded. In her heart, Joelson was the most powerful existence, and no one was a match for him.
After being sent flying with a single blow, Kokonoro was even firmer in her thoughts.
"Then, my lord, when do we set off?"
"We'll set off tomorrow."
"Lord Lightning seems to still be in the runic wilderness."
A faint smile appeared on Joelson's face as he replied, "It's already back."
Before he could finish speaking, a thunderous dragon's roar came from the night sky outside Stormwind City.
The entire Stormwind City was in a momentary uproar but it quickly calmed down.
After a few years, everyone had gotten used to the existence of Lightning. They knew that this was a force belonging to the Lord of Stormwind City.
They would even feel slightly proud that Stormwind City had such a huge beast to protect it.
When Joelson stepped out of the window, Lightning saw him. It let out a happy roar and circled around him.
The size of Lightning was several times larger than what Joelson had seen five years ago. It was comparable to Du Lu.
Its entire body was covered in purple dragon scales. Thirty percent of its body was covered in mysterious runic patterns, emitting a noble and overbearing aura.
It can be seen that the past few years it has been very comfortable.
