Limitless Evolution: I'm The New Dragon God?-Chapter 71: Terrifying Strength

"Help!"

"Save me!"

Ryuzen heard the desperate cries echoing from just around the corner of the alley.

A little girl. Her voice was trembling, terrified. She was running from a Hollow.

He wasn’t supposed to be a hero. That was never the plan.

But hearing that cry—something in him stirred. Something deep. Unshakable.

Without a second thought, he bolted forward.

His speed surged, faster than the bird-like Hollow chasing her. His figure blurred against the ruined cityscape. He was sure he’d make it in time. He had to.

But just as he turned the corner, ready to strike—

Another Hollow leapt out of the shadows.

It was shaped like a monstrous hound, sleek and wide-jawed. And it struck with horrifying precision.

Crunch.

It tackled the girl mid-step, jaws clamping down before she could even scream again. Blood sprayed. The world went still.

Ryuzen froze.

His heart sank.

Then—Rage.

A boiling, bloodthirsty storm of fury erupted in his chest. Someone had stolen his moment, interfered with his will. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

And he did not forgive that.

His eyes lit up with a savage glow. His body twisted with barely contained wrath.

The Hollow didn’t even have time to notice before Ryuzen was on it.

Ryuzen’s body moved like a possessed force of vengeance. He didn’t think. He didn’t hesitate.

The monstrous hound turned its head, red blood dripping from its fangs. But before it could finish chewing—

CRACK!

Ryuzen’s fist slammed into the side of its skull.

"Bang!" "Crash!"

The creature was thrown into the brick wall, its head embedding halfway in like a hammer to clay.

He didn’t stop.

He stepped in again, grabbed the Hollow by the throat, and with a roar that shook the air, he tore its head off with brute strength.

The Veins bulged on his arms, and the black blood soaked into his skin.

But it wasn’t enough.

He turned to the bird-like Hollow—the one he had almost reached earlier.

It tried to flap its grotesque wings and flee.

Too late.

Dash!

He vanished—then reappeared right above it, descending like a reaper. His clawed draconic hand slashed downward.

Splat!

Its back split open from shoulder to tailbone.

Ryuzen landed in a crouch beside its twitching body, eyes burning gold.

No mercy. No hesitation.

[ Warning! Multiple Hostile Sources Detected. Host is advised to stay catious. ]

He didn’t even glance at the notifications. Not now. Not when he was drowning in fury.

He looked back at the little girl’s broken body, and his chest tightened with guilt.

He knelt beside her quietly. Her eyes were wide open, as if still reaching for help that never came.

He closed her eyes with a trembling hand.

"I’m sorry," he muttered. "I should’ve been faster."

His fists clenched again.

But this time, it wasn’t just rage.

It was resolve.

And with it, the Dragon inside him stirred fully awake.

The next Hollow that turned the corner never had a chance. Ryuzen didn’t even blink before hurling a piece of rubble straight into its skull, shattering it with a wet pop.

The skies above roared, lightning dancing between the red portals still looming.

But now, a storm brewed within Ryuzen too.

One fueled by guilt. By purpose. And by a silent promise:

"Today, I shall survive. Today, I will kill."

He looked up.

Hundreds of Hollows poured from the crimson sky. The city was drowning.

And Ryuzen, only frowned.

"Come then," he growled, dragging his broken blade through the ash-strewn ground. "I’ll bury every last one of you."

"BUZZZ!"

Suddenly, a heavy pressure descended from above like an anchor dropped from the heavens, nearly making his knees buckled.

Struggling, Ryuzen looked up.

A colossal foot was falling toward him, the foot of the Titanic Hollow. It was like a mountain coming down, an unrelenting force of nature that had finally taken notice of him and deemed him an insect to be crushed.

Against something of that size, Ryuzen knew he wouldn’t even leave a scratch.

But unlike earlier, he wasn’t afraid. No shivers. No frozen limbs. Just clarity.

He considered his options. Fusion Lab or his Draconic Form. Any of them could offer a moment of retreat. They were logical choices, especially when survival was on the line. This wasn’t about pride. It was strategy.

Just as he prepared to activate Fusion Lab’s spatial power, a voice cracked the sky behind him.

"Not so early, fat ass."

Ryuzen blinked, stunned.

A figure came forward in on a floating staff. He was a man cloaked in crimson robes with a magic circle spinning around his wrist. He hovered mid-air like a phantom of fire, smirking with confidence that bordered on madness.

Power oozed from him, and his words carried arrogance sharper than any blade.

"Let’s hear you cry, big boy!"

He raised his hand, and orbs of blazing fireballs formed above his head. They weren’t ordinary fireballs. They blazed red with hints of gold and dark violet, like miniature suns pulsating with hunger. They spun in a deadly halo, casting flickering shadows across the crumbling buildings below.

With a thunderous shout, he bellowed:

"DIE!"

The orbs launched.

And the continent screamed.

"BUZZZZZZ!"

The very space rippled as the massive fireballs raced upward into the descending foot of the Titanic Hollow.

Ryuzen’s eyes widened. His body tensed instinctively. Each fireball carried terrifying pressure, far beyond what his Twin Eclipse Ascent (E) skill could currently achieve. The heat alone dried the blood on his face instantly.

These were not flashy tricks.

They were city-destroying power.

That had to be a skill ranked C or higher. Maybe even higher than that.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOM!"

The fireballs crashed into the Hollow’s leg like hammers of divine judgment.

"Buzz, buzzz, buzz.."

The shockwaves ripped through the clouds.

And the Titan? Ita Leg was oblirated upon contact.

"THUDDD!"

The titan lost balance and fell onto the buildings, flattening them almost in an instant.

Fortunately, those buildings were already evacuated.

Still, Ryuzen didn’t move. Not because he couldn’t. But because even he, a rising monster in his own right, stood speechless at the overwhelming power on display.

The stranger suddenly turned slightly toward him in the sky, flashing a grin.

"What? Surprised? This city ain’t dying yet, rookie."
