Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Timothy!"

The dragons knew all too well who Timothy was—the same Timothy who, alongside Goddess Sylvia, had personally taken down the Frost Dragon King.

But still...

As they stared at his figure, fear crept into their eyes.

They had heard rumors about Timothy's strength, but they were Ocean's Gate too. So why, in front of him, couldn't they even lift their blades?

What kind of power was this?

Before they could figure it out, a gray mist suddenly spread out around them.

They saw it clearly—Timothy, facing their direction, casually clenched his fist.

But that seemingly effortless motion unleashed a roaring wind, filling the air with an overwhelming force. Even the space around them seemed to warp and tremble.

Looking at him again, the two dragons felt as if they were staring at an insurmountable mountain.

Majestic. Terrifying.

They were both part of Ocean's Gate, yet the gap between their strength and Timothy's was beyond comparison.

"If we could just touch her..."

They struggled desperately, but found themselves completely unable to break free, let alone get anywhere near Azura.

At that moment, they saw a cold glint flash in Timothy's eyes.

Without hesitation, he struck.

Boom!

A golden light filled the sky, and with a deafening crash, the two dragons were utterly powerless. All they could do was watch as a massive golden hand descended from the clouds.

The moment their bodies collided with it, a powerful shockwave swept over them, and they were instantly crushed, plummeting to the ground.

They crashed from the clouds, slamming into the earth, leaving a massive crater in their wake.

Dust billowed everywhere, and everyone who witnessed the scene was left in stunned silence.

To crush two veteran Ocean's Gate dragons so effortlessly—just how terrifying was Timothy's power?

They had thought there was no way to save Azura, but what had just happened was beyond anyone's expectations.

"Roar!"

The Thunder Dragon was still roaring, swallowing the massive waves in front of it.

Azura's spiritual energy was clearly weakening as she struggled to hold on.

But out of the corner of her eye, she saw everything that had just happened.

Timothy had stepped in without hesitation, standing up for her.

With Timothy by her side, for some reason, she felt a strange sense of peace.

"To think I was so dead set against forming a pet contract with this human at first," Azura muttered to herself with a wry smile, shaking her head.

Lightning had already begun to break through the shield formed by the Hydro Dragon, crackling dangerously close to her.

But even in this dire situation, Azura turned to look at Timothy.

A small, sweet smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Focus on dealing with the tribulation. Why are you looking at me?"

Timothy's voice broke through, and Azura couldn't help but laugh.

Sweat, born of exhaustion, trickled down her forehead.

But when she turned back around, even as she faced the endless storm clouds and the sky filled with lightning, the fear that had once gripped her seemed to vanish.

She was facing the most powerful lightning tribulation she had ever encountered, one that no one else could interfere with.

But with Timothy standing behind her, Azura felt completely fearless.

"Alright then, if you're coming, bring it on! Let's see if this Dragon King can be taken down by a mere tribulation!"

Her voice still had a bit of that childish tone, but this time, Azura radiated the full majesty of a Dragon King.

Suddenly, she reached into her tattered pouch and pulled out a Golden Scale Dragon Carp.

And then...

Nom.

Without hesitation, she ate it.

"That's a Golden Scale Dragon Carp! It really is a Golden Scale Dragon Carp!"

Seeing this, the surrounding dragons erupted into a frenzy.

Humans might not understand, but for every dragon, the existence of the Golden Scale Dragon Carp was something they could only dream of.

The carp had the power to enhance the purity of a dragon's bloodline, something every dragon valued above all else. For any dragon, obtaining a Golden Scale Dragon Carp was worth risking everything.

But for nearly a century, there hadn't been a single rumor of anyone finding one.

And yet, Azura had actually found one!

"Could it be that Azura's terrifying bloodline is connected to the Golden Scale Dragon Carp?"

"No way. Azura's bloodline is already so close to the ancestral level. To reach that point, even if you searched the entire continent of Elant, you wouldn't find enough of them."

As they watched the faint golden glow trickling from Azura's mouth, many dragons felt their mouths water, some even drooling without realizing it.

"This girl..."

Timothy couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. He never would've guessed that Azura had secretly stashed away a Golden Scale Dragon Carp.

Unbelievable. Even though she had gulped it down like it was nothing, it seemed Azura had hidden most of the carp for herself.

"Roar!"

A majestic dragon roar echoed across the sky.

It came from Azura.

With the bloodline of the Golden Scale Dragon Carp now coursing through her, Azura unleashed her full power.

This time, there was no turning back.

Even in the face of the tribulation, she wouldn't retreat a single step.

Countless people had once mocked her, saying she wasn't worthy of the Dragon King title.

But now, Azura had made up her mind. Not only would she defend her position as Dragon King, but she would also make sure the entire world knew her strength.

There would be only one Dragon King in the seas—her. And one day, she would become the strongest Dragon King on the entire continent of Elant!

Her eyes, shining like stars, were filled with determination.

Looking up at the sky again, there was no longer any trace of fear in Azura's gaze.

All that remained was an unshakable fighting spirit!

The golden light on her dragon horns flared brightly.

As if answering her call, the Hydro Dragon, with a pale blue water droplet in its mouth, let out a thunderous roar, releasing a dragon's might far stronger than before.

Bathed in brilliant golden light, it shot into the sky, colliding head-on with the Thunder Dragon.

Boom!

The power unleashed by the two dragons was nothing short of terrifying.

A majestic force rippled outward, sending gusts of wind sweeping across the sky, even tearing apart the clouds with its sheer intensity.

Unlike before, this time, the Hydro Dragon had the upper hand.

Azura's gaze remained sharp, her expression unwavering.

Though her spiritual energy was running low, she had already put everything on the line, pouring all her strength into this one final strike.

Boom!

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, but the Thunder Dragon was now being pushed back, step by step.

The clouds churned and rumbled, as if venting their frustration.

But no matter how much they raged, they could no longer stop Azura's power.

"Roar!"

The Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, the bloodline of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

With a commanding shout, Azura's voice reverberated through the air, and the Hydro Dragon opened its massive jaws, biting down.

Even the Thunder Dragon, formed from countless bolts of lightning, was finally devoured in one bite!
