"Hehehe! You came to me. Yes, from now on, you will belong to me."

Arlong turned around. When he saw them, he laughed. His eyes lingered on Julia as he stared at her lustfully.

"I belong to no one but my Lord. And, you are just a monster."

Julia's anger boiled. She wasn't angered by his lustful look but rather by how he tried to claim her.

She only belonged to Ken and no other. Her Qi started flaring, and on the other hand, Elaine and Alice burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Julia, you are so charming. Why don't you take this guy as your dog?"

Her words only angered Julia as she understood what Elaine meant. She furiously shouted.

"Not even a dog is qualified to touch me. Besides, why will I take a dying monster as my dog?"

Julia sneered.

Her words infuriated Arlong. Even though he was charmed by her, it didn't mean he lost his mind.

He stared at her with a cold expression and said.

"Woman, I have given you enough respect. From now on, you will be my woman. Your so-called lord is nothing but a food for me."

"You think you three can defeat me? Hahaha! Are you kidding me? I have seen your battle. I have seen your power."

"You can barely defeat my creation. How dare you think you can fight me?"

As he said that, his Qi flared, turning his Qi into a powerful fireball. He raised his right hand, but suddenly, the fireball in front of him exploded.

Boom!

"Wh-wh-what happened?"

Arlong panicked. He didn't understand why his fireball exploded on his face.

"Ahhhh!"

The intense heat from the fireball made him scream in agony.

He lowered his head and found a huge hole in his chest. Although this hole was filling quickly, it still existed there, destroying his control over his power.

But he knew they only belonged to the Fire Element. He inherited Fire Element from his bloodline, but it came with a cost.

He could only use the Fire Element to its fullest outside this inner world.

At this moment, Julia, Elaine, and Alice simultaneously jumped on him. Their attacks came from three different directions.

Julia launched a fire cross slash. Elaine launched a fire punch. Alice launched a Wind Blade.

Three attacks and nowhere to run.

[Earth Golem]

But Arlong wasn't done so easily. He slapped his foot on the ground, and underneath him, a large humanoid rock emerged.

Unlike the previous one, this was nearly fifty meters tall. Those attacks hit him but didn't cause any damage.

"Despite this injury, I can still kill you all."

Arlong roared with anger, clutching his chest with a painful expression on his face.

The Earth Golem moved towards Elaine. Although it was big, its speed wasn't slow. It brought down its fist, charging towards Elaine's little body.

[Flame Devourer]

But Elaine wasn't just gonna stand there and do nothing. She channeled her purple flame into a huge vortex in front of her.

This vortex spread out and swallowed the Earth Golem's arm, melting the outer layer of its skin with its extreme temperature and slowing it down.

Arlong gritted his teeth and still charged his golem's fist, forced. With a molten arm, it struck Elaine on the head.

[Slow Burning Flame]

[Vermillion Shield]

Julia suddenly appeared in front of Elaine and shouted. Her orange flame burst out massively, releasing a huge amount of flame at a low temperature.

The flame slowly turned red, but the amount was astonishing. It not only covered the golem but also them.

Turning the entirety of this flame into a triangular shield, she stood her ground against the punch.

Bang!

That punch contained so much power that it shook the ground, but it didn't break the shield.

Vermilion Shield was a powerful martial art she inherited from the Vermillion Bird Transformation Technique.

But to use this technique, she needed a lot of flame. Naturally, she didn't have one, but here, Slow Burning Flame was possibly the best solution.

This technique turned her normal orange flame into red flame, lowering its temperature but increasing its amount.

Although the temperature was low, it didn't mean the flame was weak.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Golem kept striking the shield. To make sure the shield wasn't damaged, Elaine kept using her Flame Devourer to consume its arm.

The vortex didn't really absorb Earth but rather melted it. However, it was more than enough to slow down every strike from Arlong.

Suddenly, Julia smirked, and Elaine did the same.

Arlong didn't understand why they were smiling. He couldn't even see it. His focus was on destroying the shield.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As more and more cracks appeared on the shield, the closer he felt to killing these women.

He had never been so angry before. Now, he didn't care about taking Julia as his wife.

He just wanted to kill them and consume Ken. He just wanted to improve his bloodline and leave this damn place.

As his anger boiled, the golem struck the shield with even more power, breaking it apart with a single strike.

Bang!

As the shield broke, Elaine and Julia jumped out of its way. Both jumped in different directions.

But at this moment, there was someone else preparing a new move against the golem.

Arlong noticed her as well.

Alice had her hands raised with a huge arrow made out of wind in front of her.

When their eyes locked in, she fired that arrow.

Whoosh!

It broke through the sound barrier and rushed towards the Earth Golem at an insane speed.

The Earth Golem slammed its fist forward, trying to crush the arrow with its might.

"Fool! That arrow contains my strongest Wind Qi. It will be an arrow that can kill the gods."

[Divine Departure]

Bang!

Her arrow pierced through the arm of the golem, breaking it apart as it moved towards its chest.

Before Arlong could even comprehend its power, the arrow pierced through its chest.

Bang! Crack! Crack! Crack! Thud!

Starting with a small hole on the chest, cracks slowly spread to every corner of the golem. Until it broke into pieces and fell.

Despite that, Arlong didn't care. His eyes turned red as he raised both of his arms.

"Yes, you bested my attacks. You are not ordinary people. But who do you think I am?"

"I was born out of the bloodline of a Fire Dragon. I am the Fourth Rank Monster."

"With your Qi consumed, let's see how you can beat this!"

At this moment, three large arms emerged from the ground. Three girls didn't forget that Arlong could control the ground with his Qi.

This was something he did against Ken, but despite that, they kept running.

"Enough is enough."

"Crush them!"

Arlong found it very annoying that they were dodging those punches from those arms.

Although Earth was slow, it didn't mean they should dodge every single attack.

Only then did he notice a Red Qi, as thin as a piece of paper, coating their skin. Despite their injuries, this Red Qi hadn't disappeared at all.

"It's Dragon Qi."

A hint of clarity appeared in his eyes, but soon, his expression became terrified.

"No, no, that guy shouldn't have any power. His bones were broken. His muscles were torn. His skin was bleeding."

"His inner organs had failed. His Qi was depleted. So, how? How can he still support others?"

At this moment, under his command, six more arms had appeared, three for each.

With three punches coming their way, even Elaine and others realized they couldn't dodge them.

But despite this, there was not a single trace of despair in their eyes. They were even smiling.

And, only then, Arlong understood why.

Whoosh! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As those punches rained down, a figure galloped between them and caught those girls before those punches landed on them.

The ground cracked, and dust rose. But ARlong had already followed that trail.

His eyes were somewhere else. In front of him stood Ken, holding all three of his girls in his arms.

With a soft smile, he patted their heads and said.

"Thank you for buying me some time!"

Then, he slowly walked forward, moving towards Arlong.

"You….. How are you healed so quickly? Your wounds. They shouldn't recover so quickly."

Ken stared at his eyes and said.

"You underestimated my determination to defeat you. My wounds can heal later. Right now, I just want to defeat you."

Arlong's eyes almost bulged out.

"How are you a human?"

Ken chuckled as he continued.

"Arlong, I want to thank you. Because of you, I got stronger. Because of you, I have a new determination."

"Because of you, my Will has become stronger."

Suddenly, his eyes turned dark as his smile disappeared. He clenched his fist, and a fierce Qi flowed through his right arm.

"But this time, I am going to end this battle with one move."

Arlong almost laughed out with anger when he heard that. But his eyes shrank when he saw Ken disappear from that place.

'No, no, not that power. He doesn't have that Green Flame.'

"How?"

Arlong roared, but the answer was a fist to his head. It was a simple punch.

[Rock Shattering Fist]
