Less than a minute.

Ten seconds later, the silhouettes of two dragons, one large and one small, could already be seen.

The pirates tightened inwardly at this sight, while the shark-tigers were invigorated, as if some kind of enhancing magic had been cast upon them.

Less than a minute, just thirty seconds later.

Boom!

Two streaks of light reached First Quarter Island and simultaneously hit the ground, causing a sudden tremor. The massive shockwave made it difficult for creatures within hundreds of meters to stand, tumbling to the ground in disarray, and those further away staggered, shaking uncontrollably.

Antonina and the Energy Sculptor exchanged glances, looking towards the rising dust cloud.

Whoosh!

A strong wind blew.

The dust was scattered.

A pair of majestic and indifferent golden vertical pupils were revealed, reflecting the many insignificant figures within.

“Tiny insects, daring to invade my territory.”

“Now that I have returned, await the arrival of death!”

The deep Dragon Tongue resounded.

Two powerful dragon auras burst forth, like a storm passing through, causing each pirate’s spirit to tremble, as if falling into an abyss. Only a few fifth-tier pirates and two sixth-tier pirates could withstand it.

Just a brief contact with the dragon aura left the pirates feeling a chill in their hearts, realizing that big trouble had arrived.

They dared not act rashly, warily looking towards the two dragon shadows.

At this moment, the dust had completely dispersed.

A six-meter-long golden Hatchling Dragon and a sixteen-meter-long adult Topaz Dragon. Both True Dragons appeared in the pirates’ field of vision at the same time.

The majority of the pirates only glanced briefly at the golden Hatchling Dragon.

Although they marveled at its aesthetically pleasing form, they quickly shifted their gaze to the other giant dragon. The sixteen-meter-long adult Topaz Dragon, with its bright yellow scales, was the one that truly deserved the title of ‘giant’ dragon.

“Is it you? The one who destroyed my Black Skull pirate fleet and took our treasure.”

Under the immense pressure of an adult dragon, Antonina reached for her waist and grabbed the communication crystal, simultaneously sending a message to the evil knight: “Balbert, the target is an adult dragon! On the moon…”

She had not expected that she would ultimately have to face a True Dragon.

Bang!

The communication had just begun when the crystal suddenly shattered.

The spiritual light in the Topaz Dragon’s eyes dissipated, it silently gazed at the group of pirates, then turned its head, exchanging a glance with Saga, before silently stepping back two paces, leisurely watching the situation, leaving Saga to control the scene.

The Energy Sculptor did not think it was a good idea to continue fighting now.

He stopped casting the Touch of Flames, stepped forward, and tried to maintain his calm and reason.

He looked towards the Topaz Dragon and said:

“Your Excellency Topaz Dragon, we come from the Black Skull Archipelago, seeking a lost item. We have sufficient intelligence to show that this item is in your possession. We would like to trade and purchase it from you.”

The Topaz Dragon remained silent, not speaking.

Meanwhile, the golden Hatchling Dragon, expressionless and with a cold gaze, murmured, “It seems you are mistaken about who is the lord of this place.”

Hmm?

The pirates present were slightly startled.

Could it be that this smaller dragon was the truly powerful True Dragon hidden in their midst?

Antonina and the Energy Sculptor both showed serious expressions, focusing their attention on Saga, whose scales shone like gold.

“We were blind.”

After a pause, Antonina raised her head, looking directly at the True Dragon, and said, “Have you ever obtained a chest with a magic lock? If so, that is the item we are seeking. Name your price, we are willing to trade it back from you.”

Compared to the caster who was more knowledgeable about dragons.

This gunner, who came from a rough background, did not show a hint of respect in her words.

Looking at the surrounding destruction, Saga narrowed his eyes and said, “What’s inside the chest?”

He had also realized that these pirates were the same group he had encountered during a storm when he first left Thorn Isle. Saga had not expected that after some time, these people would come looking for him. Otherwise, he would have almost forgotten about the magic chest in his spatial crystal.

At the same time.

Having understood the thoughts of the Necromancer, Saga knew that he had dealt with a wave of pirate attacks on his behalf, otherwise, pirates would not have appeared before him now.

“I cannot tell you that.”

“I can only say that what’s inside is of no use to you. We can trade with you at the value of a high-tier magic item.”

Do you think I’m a fool?

You won’t tell me because you’re afraid that once I know what it is, I’ll ask for a high price.

Saga grinned and said, “You want to trade with me? However, a group of people about to die doesn’t seem to have the qualifications.”

These pirates had come a long way for the chest.

This indicated that the contents were extremely valuable.

Saga became even more interested in the magic chest in his spatial crystal. Although the chest was locked with magic, it wasn’t without ways to open it.

Hearing the words of the golden Hatchling Dragon, the pirates’ hearts sank.

Buzz buzz buzz.

The gears on Antonina’s mechanical arm began to turn again, making a noisy sound, and the Elemental Energy around the Energy Sculptor also intensified, ready for battle.

Saga lifted his chin, his voice like a cold wind, whispering:

“Leave the two leaders alive, kill all the others.”

His followers sprang into action, and the battle continued.

At the same time, the golden Hatchling Dragon stretched out its claw towards the female gunner.

All Things Attraction!

An invisible yet massive force suddenly seized the female gunner’s body, as if an unseen hand had grabbed her waist and was dragging her towards Saga’s dragon claw.

Antonina’s expression changed drastically.

Her mechanical arm raised, the cannon in her palm aimed at the target, and with a roar, it fired a powerful bomb. At the same time, her fingertips opened, her wrist rotating at high speed, unleashing a storm of energy bullets. The tremendous recoil and the pulling force resisted each other, and Antonina’s body barely stopped moving forward.

A supergravity field suddenly unfolded.

The trajectory of the physical bomb was affected, and it plunged into the ground about ten meters away from Saga.

Boom!

A deafening explosion sounded.

Countless fragments of sand and gravel were scattered, and high-temperature flames rose like flowers, the flickering light reflecting on Saga’s expressionless faceplate. Saga flapped his wings.

Gravity Blade!

A pair of intersecting horizontal gravity waves burst forth, engulfing the flames and gravel, then crushing countless energy bullets with an unstoppable, overwhelming force, slashing towards the female gunner.

Some of the residual energy bullets hit Saga’s scales.

However, aside from being deflected in different directions, landing on the ground, in the sea, and in the forest, creating a series of dense explosions, they had no effect on Saga himself.

The deflection field perfectly intercepted attacks of this magnitude.

Whoosh!

Saga spread his wings and rose into the air amidst a gust of wind, making a turn and diving towards Antonina.

Boom!

At that moment, Antonina had just freed herself from the influence of the pulling force, and then the Gravity Blade came head-on, already too close to dodge.

She took a deep breath, twisted her body to the side, clenched her mechanical arm into a fist, and the elbow emitted a tail flame.

Bang!

A cannon punch was thrown, colliding with the Gravity Blade.

In an instant, Antonina, who was not adept at close combat, was sent flying backward, with many components of her mechanical arm showing signs of warping or cracking.

The golden dragon shadow swept across the sky, pressing down with a claw, aiming for the female gunner who was flying backward in mid-air.

At this moment.

The Energy Sculptor’s spell was about to be completed.

But before he could finish.

He saw the massive, most threatening Topaz Dragon take a step, and its sixteen-meter-long body suddenly disappeared.

Spiritual Step—A natural psychic teleportation ability of the Topaz Dragon.

In the next instant, the bright yellow scales filled the Energy Sculptor’s vision as the Topaz Dragon stepped out and appeared directly in front of him as if by teleportation.

“Tiny human, you think you can sneak attack in front of me?”

Valuing Saga’s potential and thinking of befriending him, the Topaz Dragon didn’t mind offering a little help to Saga.

Bang!

With a sweep of its claw, the Energy Sculptor’s face turned pale, and he was struck with horror.

Crack crack, numerous magical shields were activated, then shattered under the dragon’s might, and the magical items worn by the Energy Sculptor also broke apart. Then his entire body was hit by a claw and sent flying by the tremendous force.

The Topaz Dragon’s strength could not compare with that of a dragon of the same tier, such as the Chromatic or Metal Dragons.

But this was a comparison within the dragon species. Compared to other species, even against a seventh-tier human warrior, its strength was still superior. Dealing with a sixth-tier mage at close range was effortless.

Because the Topaz Dragon did not deliver a killing blow, and many magical shields dissipated the force, the Energy Sculptor, soaked from being thrown into the waves sweeping the beach, staggered to his feet.

Spell backlash caused him a splitting headache.

Pain emanated from all over his body.

Before the Energy Sculptor could recover and continue casting, the Topaz Dragon soared in, grabbing him with a claw. Gray-white negative energy formed chains, binding the Energy Sculptor tightly, draining his Magic Power, preventing him from casting spells.

The Yellow Crystal Earth Dragon, shark-tigers, slimes, and other followers of Saga also began a massacre.

Because of the appearance of the two dragons, many pirates had already lost their will to fight. Knowing they could not win, they only wanted to escape. The more they tried, the less they could combat the followers, crumbling upon contact.

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere on the battlefield.

Saga pressed down with a claw, and the slender female gunner raised her mechanical arm to meet the dragon’s claw, firing at close range against the dragon’s scales.

Boom!

The dragon’s claw was shaken open, and Antonina also felt a great force coming, her body plummeting to the ground, smashing a crater.

Saga shook his claw and then dived down with his wings spread wide.

The howling wind rushed towards her.

Whoosh! A wave of fire burst from her arm, like a thruster providing a massive amount of kinetic energy, and the gunner’s body shot forward abruptly.

Boom!

The ground shook violently.

Antonina narrowly avoided the impact.

At the same time, Saga’s gaze pierced through the lifted dust and debris, locking onto the retreating gunner, the murky air unable to obscure his perception.

Divine Conquest!

A tremendous repelling force suddenly erupted, giving Antonina another push.

Caught off guard, her retreating speed surged, and she shot into the dense forest, thumping and breaking a series of ancient island trees, eventually smashing her head against a half-shattered boulder, bloodied and nearly embedded in the broken rock.

Antonina struggled to get up, her body half-embedded in the rock, covered in bloody wounds.

At that moment, a tremendous force suddenly pulled her up.

Saga’s claw, like iron tongs, grabbed the female gunner’s mechanical arm, lifting her entirely, and then the dragon claw exerted force, tightening its grip.

Crack crack, the mechanical arm twisted, deformed, and its structure was damaged.

Looking at the twisted and deformed mechanical arm, Saga pondered for a moment, then extended his other claw, pressing near the shoulder of her mechanical arm, and both claws exerted force simultaneously—

Creak creak, numerous cracks emerged, and the mechanical arm continued to twist.
