The Hidden Extra: The Lazy Prince Refuses to Ascend The Throne Chapter 945 Eira's Biological Father

Two figures, one white and one gray, shot forward at incredible speed.

They disappeared for a moment, only to reappear and crash into each other head-on.

Boom!

The impact thundered through the area like hundreds of thunderclaps going off at once.

The air heated up dramatically, causing the falling rain to evaporate on contact.

The two figures were Arnold and Reinhard, locked in a fierce battle.

"Die!"

Reinhard raised his fist and punched Arnold in the face.

Boom!

Arnold easily parried the powerful blow.

Reinhard's eyes narrowed warily. He was about to launch another attack, but Arnold moved first.

He grabbed Reinhard's arm, spun around, and slammed him into the ground.

Whoosh…

Boom!

Reinhard crashed into the ground, leaving behind a two-meter-deep crater.

Whoosh!

His figure shot out of the crater, looking disheveled. His arrogant expression was gone, replaced by a terrifyingly grim look.

"Who is this guy, really?"

His strength, speed, and attacks were in no way inferior to Reinhard's.

This was the first time in his entire life that Reinhard had encountered an opponent who could match him, aside from the leader of the Armageddon Coalition he had fought in the past.

"Why are you so quiet? Are you starting to realize how strong I am?"

Arnold floated down and stopped three meters above him.

His casual smile only made Reinhard even more furious.

"Don't get cocky just yet."

Reinhard wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I haven't even gotten serious yet!"

He stomped his right foot onto the ground and roared.

"Transformation!"

Boom!

A white aura burst from his body and shot into the dark sky.

The wind began to swirl around him, carrying the falling raindrops with it.

The ground shook violently, causing the trees and hills in the distance to tremble as well.

Arnold didn't take any action. He simply watched Reinhard as he began his transformation.

A moment later, a white dragon appeared before him.

The dragon stood twenty meters tall. His scales were sharp and tough, while his two fangs and the horn on his forehead made him look even more intimidating.

ROARR!

His soul-shaking roar echoed in every direction.

"Since you've challenged me, I'll take you seriously!"

Reinhard flapped his wings. His massive body soared into the sky before plunging toward Arnold.

Bang!

His head slammed into the magical barrier protecting Arnold.

But the barrier didn't last long. Within five seconds, it shattered into pieces.

"Die!"

Reinhard opened his massive jaws, ready to tear Arnold apart.

But Arnold teleported away and reappeared dozens of meters away.

As if he had predicted this, Reinhard opened his mouth again.

A sphere of energy materialized between his jaws.

Whoosh!

The energy sphere shot toward Arnold at the speed of sound.

Seeing this, Arnold didn't panic.

He simply snapped his fingers. A giant portal appeared before him.

The energy sphere struck the portal and was slowly swallowed by it.

Reinhard's eyes widened in shock.

But he didn't give up. He hurled hundreds of even more powerful energy spheres toward Arnold.

Unfortunately, Arnold kept blocking every attack with ease.

Realizing his attacks weren't working, Reinhard let out a sharp roar and charged at Arnold.

Boom!

Boom!

The two exchanged blows once again. But with his massive physique, Reinhard managed to overpower Arnold.

"Hahaha! Why don't you transform? Are you afraid to show me your true form!?"

Reinhard extended his claws and swung at Arnold.

Arnold simply snapped his fingers, creating a magical barrier in front of him.

But Reinhard's attack tore through the barrier in an instant, forcing Arnold to back away.

"Transform?" Arnold brushed the dust and blood from his robe. "That's unnecessary."

His arrogant reply was the last straw for Reinhard.

"Fine, if that's what you want. Now, die!"

Buzz!

Hundreds of energy spheres appeared between his wings and inside his mouth.

The temperature soared to terrifying levels, causing the air to distort and the ground beneath him to melt.

"Die!"

Just as Reinhard was about to unleash all the energy spheres, Arnold raised his hand and muttered, "Let's end this."

Snap!

The sound of his fingers snapping was faint but still loud enough for Reinhard to hear from a distance.

Reinhard's triumphant expression instantly froze.

"W-What's happening!? W-Why can't I move my body!?" he cried out in fear.

He tried to mobilize the mana within him, but his efforts were futile.

"H-How is this possible!? What's happening to me!?"

His fear grew even more intense.

He was the hero of the dragon race.

How could it be… How could he have fallen into such a state!?

"Surprised?"

Arnold's teasing voice suddenly came from in front of him.

Before Reinhard could even react, the man had already appeared before him with a playful smile.

"Y-You… Did you do this!?" he stammered.

Standing before Reinhard's dragon form, Arnold looked incredibly small. Yet, the aura he radiated was even more majestic than Reinhard's.

"Yes, I did it. Surprised?"

Reinhard gritted his teeth in anger.

"How… did you… do that…!?"

Arnold folded his arms behind his back.

"I used bloodline pressure to suppress you."

"Bloodline pressure!?" Reinhard's eyes widened in shock. "H-How is that possible!? I'm a hero! My bloodline—"

His words trailed off as the most terrifying possibility crossed his mind.

"The only one who can exert bloodline pressure on me is… the Dragon Anc—"

Arnold placed his palm directly on Reinhard's forehead.

Instantly, excruciating pain tore through Reinhard's body from the inside out.

ROAR!

A ferocious roar erupted from his mouth.

Arnold, however, remained completely motionless as he closed his eyes.

A moment later, he smiled and slowly opened them.

"So that's how it is. Revenge, huh?"

He understood now.

Five hundred years ago, after being hunted by the imperial family, Reinhard had fled to the northern continent.

He lived there for hundreds of years until a white dragon from the same clan eventually appeared before him.

That white dragon was the very same one Nolan had killed on the northern continent.

Which meant Reinhard was Eira's biological father.

Due to complicated circumstances, Reinhard had been forced to leave the northern continent and go into hiding for decades.

Unfortunately, by the time he returned, his wife and child had already been killed by Nolan.

The only problem was that, at the time, Reinhard had no idea who the real culprit was.

A week ago, Cedric had shown up at his hideout and used his manipulative words to convince Reinhard that Elina was the one who had murdered his wife and child.

It sounded unreasonable, indeed. The northern continent was extremely far from the central continent.

Strangely, Cedric had somehow managed to locate Reinhard and discover his greatest weakness.

However, seconds later, Arnold realized the truth.

It must have had something to do with Roswell's connections.

Although he was no longer the prime minister, the underground power he wielded was still immense and should not be underestimated.

"Eira's father, huh?"

Arnold couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm sure even my master wouldn't have realized that."

After all, he and Nolan had always assumed that Eira was born without a father.

But it turned out that wasn't the case.

"Unfortunately…"

A cold glint flashed in Arnold's eyes.

"…Eira doesn't need a father."

He raised his hand and swung it downward.

Slash!

Reinhard's massive head was severed from his neck before falling to the ground with a thunderous thud.

The hero of the dragon race had finally… fallen…
