Chapter 26: Boohoo, I’ll never do it again (just kidding) ( Part 1 )
Although they both had many ways to play, they usually washed up together after the fact.
As for before, most of the time, they would wash separately.
The reason was simple—afraid that while washing, things might escalate right in the bathroom.
After Leon left, Roseweiser smiled and pulled the bathroom curtain down, planning to undress and bathe.
However, before she could untie the waist tie of her dress, she noticed that the previously calm water surface suddenly began to ripple.
The queen furrowed her brows and leaned forward slightly to closely observe the water’s surface.
Indeed, the ripples spread out in circles from the center of the water, pushing the petals to the edges of the tub.
“What’s going on…”
Before she could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard from outside the Red Dragon Temple.
The water in the tub also rippled in response.
The next moment, Leon burst into the bathroom, speaking quickly, “Is everything okay?”
“It’s fine. What’s going on outside?”
Leon shook his head, “I’m not sure. Let’s go check on the girls first.”
“Okay.”
The couple hurried to Noa and the others’ room.
The little dragon girls were also awakened by the sudden loud noise.
Noa hugged Munen tightly, and Leon bent down to pick up Xiao Guang.
“What happened, Dad?” Noa asked.
“I don’t know. But it doesn’t seem like a good thing.”
He walked to the window and looked outside.
There, outside the temple, a dazzling firelight rose from the ground.
Amid the firelight, a giant figure slowly approached.
The red glow reflected in Leon’s pupils, and he could make out the face—or rather, the head.
“Kon…stantin…”
…
The peaceful night was shattered by flames and chaos.
The Red Dragon guards immediately rushed to intercept the suddenly appearing enemy.
“Is that… the Dragon King? Or… something else?” one guard asked, staring at the massive creature before them.
The reason for the question was that the creature attacking the Red Dragon Temple in the night was too bizarre.
It had many features of S-rank and even super S-rank dangerous species—
Steel Mammoth, Scaled Battle Rhinoceros, Lava Hydra, and so on.
These were just the more obvious traits within sight; as for other parts of its body, they were so complex they couldn’t be distinguished.
However, the creature’s head was easily recognizable, and this was also why the Red Dragon guard first mistook it for the “Dragon King.”
It was a… dragon’s head.
The dark red giant head seemed to be glued onto this “stitched-together” body.
Its vicious dragon eyes looked down at the ground beneath it, and with each step it took, flames spread further.
“It… It’s the Dragon Head of the Crimson Flame Dragon King!”
Another Red Dragon guard recognized whose head it was.
“Crimson Flame Dragon King? But didn’t he get killed by Prince Leon a long time ago? How could—”
Boom! —
Before the guards could marvel, the ‘reborn’ Konstantin launched his attack.
The Steel Mammoth’s massive body only had to stomp lightly to cause the ground to tremble.
The guards quickly spread their dragon wings, planning to engage from the air.
They had just observed that, although this stitched creature had numerous dangerous species traits, it notably lacked wings.
This meant it couldn’t fly.
Therefore, attacking from the air was the best option.
The Red Dragon guards simultaneously launched Dragon Flames at Konstantin.
But several fireballs hit its body and caused no harm at all.
“A Steel Mammoth’s body, huh… its defense is ridiculously high.” Sweat beaded on the guard’s forehead.
Super S-rank Dangerous Species: Steel Mammoth.
It was a dangerous species that even the dragons wouldn’t hunt lightly.
Its defense was even comparable to that of a Dragon King.
Even without actively taking a defensive posture, Konstantin wasn’t at all affected by the guards’ earlier attacks.
It continued walking toward the Red Dragon Temple.
It seemed that was its target for the night.
The guards continued their attacks to stop Konstantin’s advance.
But still, it had no effect.
More and more guards gathered around, the flames of Dragon Fire lighting up the night sky.
But they couldn’t prevent Konstantin from advancing even an inch.
Meanwhile, on a mountaintop in the distance, Scott and a dragon stood silently, watching the scene unfold.
“I thought Mr. Nacho would be in charge of overseeing the battle,” said the dragon.
“He won’t be coming, Fer.”
Scott’s tone was filled with pride, “And he won’t ever come again.”
Ironwing Dragon King, Fer, was the one who had stolen a part of Noa’s power during the Far North exploration project.
Now, with Lavis and the other Dragon Kings dead, Fer had no choice but to come forward and begin dealing with the Empire.
In Fer’s mind, the man named Nacho Salamander had been quite interesting—
Because Fer often heard Lavis complain about him.
But now, the one who had been complained about was gone, and the one complaining was no longer around.
Ah, how things have changed, Fer thought with slight nostalgia.
“Mr. Erandi seems to be very confident about the reborn Konstantin. He only sent me, a Dragon King, to assist in overseeing the battle,” Fer said.
“Of course, after all, this is the ultimate creature the Empire spent a lot of effort to create.”
Scott squinted his eyes, watching the monster that seemed determined to burn everything in its path, “It’s also the final weapon designed to hunt down Leon Casmod.”
“With the abilities and traits of so many dangerous species combined, it indeed took quite a bit of effort.”
Fer said, “But I do have one concern.”
Scott glanced at him, “What?”
“Will the reborn Konstantin truly obey the Empire? Has Konstantin completely lost his independent will?”
At these words, Scott snorted coldly, “Of course. What independent will could a dead dragon have? Don’t worry, Fer, our Empire’s Royal Sorcerer Corps is very professional.”
“Really? Then I’ll rest easy.”
Fer said,
“After all, if the crazy dragon, Konstantin, could freely control this powerful body… Hehehe, I’m afraid that not just Leon Casmod would be hunted down, he could even kill most of the living things on the Sammael Road.”

I think Konstantin will react to Leon somehow, either at the beginning of the fight he will remember him, get angry or scared, or at the end of the fight he will ask Leon to kill him, at least Konstantin is given a lot of time in the plot, it will be sad if he remains a loser, who was controlled by the Empire both in life and in death.
It is difficult to imagine him from the description, of course, as well as a normal battle with him, the fact that he cannot fly makes him an easy target for Attacks, the durability that is “comparable” to the Dragon King for Leon is no different from the flesh of any other creature, the fact that there is no normal thinking head makes the task even easier
