Chapter 187 – Are you really called a demon?


“Let’s intercept and kill it.”

Tixil the Amethyst Dragon and Charlotte the Gemstone Dragon both agreed with the Golden Dragon’s suggestion:

“No problem!”

When encountering a powerful Tyrant Fiend outside, the first reaction of these young dragons wasn’t to retreat but to intercept and kill it.

Having stayed in Deep Sea Dragon City for a long time, the young dragons, always in a safe zone, faced a demon—a creature that ordinary beings dread—for the first time with excitement and agitation. Gathered here were the shining stars of Deep Sea Dragon City, each unique and exceptionally talented, unafraid of demons. Deep down, they longed for a battle without the shelter of protection.

“There’s no need to intercept.”

Saga spoke up, drawing the attention of the dragons.

Under their gaze, Saga said calmly:

“It’s coming for me.”

The Golden Dragon smiled brilliantly:

“That’s even better, we have all the more reason to kill it.”

“How did you encounter a demon? Weren’t you still a Hatchling Dragon before coming to Deep Sea Dragon City?” Tixil the Amethyst Dragon expressed her surprise.

Saga’s expression remained unchanged as he said:

“Just like you said, I have a strange attraction.”

“Not only does it attract our kind, but occasionally it brings forth some nefarious beings.”

Suddenly grinning, Saga’s demeanor was flamboyant, his dragon horns and crown shimmering brightly, his eyes ablaze with the eagerness of battle:

“But this is exactly what I want!”

An ordinary, stable life was enough for Saga in his past life. Having died once, he now sought a thrilling life, striving for the pinnacle of dragonhood.

Either clawing his way to the peak to reign supreme or falling to silence like a comet streaking across the night sky, brilliant yet fleeting.

“Let’s face this demon together.”

Charlotte the Gemstone Dragon shook her scales and pulled out powerful magic artifacts she had pilfered from the elders’ treasury.

“No, it’s facing us.”

Saga lifted his head, his voice deep.

Meanwhile, in just a short time.

The blood-red speck moving rapidly across the sky had enlarged significantly, becoming a vaguely visible figure. The scent of blood, slaughter, brutality, and bloodlust became increasingly clear to the dragons’ senses, stimulating their nerves.

This was a ninth-tier demon.

Not an ordinary enemy, but not worthy of fear either.

The True Dragons present quickly reached a consensus.

Seconds later.

The figure of the Tyrant Fiend was reflected in Saga’s pupils.

To Saga, it appeared as a humanoid demon.

Standing three meters tall, it didn’t have the oppressive size of the dragons here, but the evil and violent aura it carried was greater than any single dragon present.

It was clad in armor wrapped in mysterious blood-colored material, with glimpses of silver-white underneath. Where the armor didn’t cover, blood-colored skin revealed muscles as robust as steel. A pair of bat-like wings protruded from its back, along with a long tail, and atop its head were a pair of sinister bone horns twisting towards the sky.

“It looks much stronger than the last Tyrant Fiend I saw.”

“Is it a pure-blooded demon from the outer universe, or a creature of the Great Ring corrupted and transformed by an Outer God?”

Saga pondered silently.

Regarding this question, he leaned more towards the latter—a creature of the Great Ring influenced by an Outer God. After understanding the truth of the infinite multiverse, Saga was certain that the being proclaiming itself the Tyrant Blood God, the Skull Lord, was definitely not a deity of the Great Ring, but an Outer God.

At the same time, when the Tyrant Knight Barbette was thousands of kilometers away from the four dragons.

Barbette, the Skull Lord, paused his charging figure, his blood-red eyes filled with the desire for slaughter and battle, staring intently at the four dragons, each with a unique appearance but all different from the common dragon species.

“Four adolescent dragons?”

Suppressing the raging flames of slaughter in his heart, Barbette fell into a brief silence.

He remembered that his lover’s last message said the opponent was an adult dragon.

Now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

Originally, Saga returned to Moon Bay with the Topaz Dragon Lord, and the larger adult dragon was naturally seen as the leader, but this was a mistaken assumption.

Judging only by size, Barbette concluded that the other side consisted of four adolescent dragons.

But the life force he sensed was not comparable to that of ordinary adolescent dragons.

Especially the Golden Dragon, covered in radiant golden scales, whose size was no different from an average adolescent dragon, yet its life rank had already reached the eighth tier.

As for the other three dragons, although also unique.

Since they hadn’t reached a high rank, they were not considered a threat by the Tyrant Fiend.

After all, this Tyrant Fiend was not an ordinary creature. In a fight against others of the same tier, its combat power was stronger than that of a typical True Dragon. At the eighth tier, it had killed a ninth-tier Holy Knight.

Suddenly grinning viciously.

“It doesn’t matter who it is, appearing here, they’re all related.”

“Killing them all will do.”

“Four dragons, more blood, more corpses, more skulls, will please my lord even more! And make me stronger!”

Blood-colored flames surrounded the Tyrant Fiend’s body, melting the nearby snow and dyeing the sky behind it a crimson red.

With the Tyrant Fiend at the center, a blood-colored domain appeared in the snow-white world that was previously covered in snow due to the blizzard.

“Offer up your dragon skulls!”

With a low roar, Barbette drew the pale heavy sword from his spine. Unlike the typical thick and sharp knight’s heavy sword, this one had edges full of shark-tooth-like serrations, looking ferocious and menacing, ready to devour.

Whoosh!

Without explanation, the Tyrant Fiend flapped its wings and charged directly at the young True Dragons on the other side.

Its body, engulfed in blood-colored flames, melted the snow along the way, and due to its extreme speed, it pulled out a long, cape-like curtain, its momentum immense.

“Don’t disappoint me, demon.”

The Golden Dragon’s gaze sharpened, the scales around its eyes turning red-hot, melting and evaporating the snowflakes before they could land.

Zzzt!

Two beams of golden light burst forth from its eyes, shooting straight at the Tyrant Fiend.

The Golden Dragon’s eye beams were as fast as lightning, instantly crossing the space and tearing through the snowstorm, approaching the Tyrant Fiend.

“Hmm?”

The Tyrant Fiend’s pupils contracted.

Although its mind was filled with the desire for slaughter and lacked rationality, its excellent combat instincts, akin to a bloodthirsty beast, kicked in, sensing the power of the opponent’s attack and deciding it was best not to take it head-on.

The Tyrant Fiend’s arms moved, and the serrated heavy sword followed, attempting to block the golden eye beams with the broad back of the sword.

At the same time.

Tixil the Amethyst Dragon and Saga’s eyes lit up simultaneously, their pupils radiating golden and purple psychic glows.

Mind Blast!

Boom! Boom!

The Tyrant Fiend’s body trembled as if struck by lightning, its movements stiffening, its blood-red pupils losing focus for a moment.

The Tyrant Fiend, whose mind was filled with bloodlust and the desire for slaughter, had strong resistance to psychic attacks.

Moreover, it was at the ninth tier, and the gap in life rank meant that the psychic attacks from the middle rank were not very effective.

In just a second, the Tyrant Fiend’s eyes brightened again.

However, by the time it regained its senses, the intense pain in its chest made it roar.

Zzzt!

The golden eye beams, with their strong penetrating power, passed through the blood-colored flames surrounding the Tyrant Fiend and hit its chest. Although the power was weakened by the blood-colored flames, it was still formidable.

Crack, crack, crack… Visible cracks spread from the impact point on the demon’s blood-colored knight armor.

At the same time, the huge impact force made the Tyrant Fiend’s body uncontrollably retreat, creating a long trail in the flying snow.

The Tyrant Fiend raised its arm, ignoring its retreating body, the blood-colored flames wrapping around the serrated heavy sword, which it swung fiercely.

Boom!

A series of exaggerated blood blades, hundreds of meters long, suddenly emerged, slicing through the snowstorm and slashing towards the True Dragons on the other side.

The attack strength of this ninth-tier demon was enough to level mountains, and even dragons like Saga could not afford to be careless.

They flapped their dragon wings, each displaying their magical powers with swift movements, maneuvering through the web of sword light formed by dozens of huge blood blades, like dancers on knives, breathtakingly thrilling.

Because the Golden Dragon’s assault was interrupted, on the other side, the demon with its stable body clenched its claws.

“Shatter!” it growled lowly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dozens of blood-colored giant blades that had already swept past the dragons paused slightly, then shattered simultaneously, turning into thousands of sharp blood-colored fragments, densely packed, covering the sky and enveloping Saga and the other dragons at close range.

“Danger!”

The Golden Dragon’s eyes lit up, then it took a deep breath, extending its wings to the limit, moving its body extremely fast, shielding the other dragons behind it.

Ting, ting, tang… Most of the blood-colored fragments landed on the Golden Dragon’s radiant golden scales, making a sound like the clashing of metal, accompanied by sparks flying in all directions.

The dragon scales that were hit multiple times began to crack, and from the cracks, intense golden light burst forth.

Some tricky angles that bypassed the Golden Dragon’s defense were easily dodged by Saga and Tixil.

After this round of attacks.

The Tyrant Fiend on the other side looked at the True Dragons from afar, only to find that apart from the Golden Dragon, the others were unharmed. As for the Golden Dragon, which had suffered widespread cracks and light injuries on its body, its dragon face showed a look of joy rather than shock. Although it was injured, its aura did not decrease but instead strengthened slightly.

“Ouch, let me shield you from harm!”

The Golden Dragon grinned in pain and pleasure.

Saga and Tixil exchanged glances and silently shook their heads.

“Hyperion, be careful not to get killed in one go,” Charlotte spoke.

“To think a legend could kill me in one go? It’s powerful, but far from enough to kill me directly,” the Golden Dragon said with a confident and spirited demeanor.

“Let’s go together. Hyperion and I will face it head-on, while Tixil and Charlotte, you two move around the perimeter, ready to assist at the right moment,” Saga said in a deep voice.

His eyes gradually filled with the will to fight.

“Ha ha, Saga, let’s fight side by side!”

The Golden Dragon smiled brilliantly.

Immediately, the two Golden Dragons spread their wings, one on the left and one on the right, charging fiercely at the Tyrant Fiend.

Faced with the two ferocious Golden Dragons, the naturally combative and bloodthirsty Tyrant Fiend, which preferred close combat to ranged attacks, grinned viciously, flapped its wings, and charged forward with the serrated heavy sword in hand.

Dragon and demon rushed towards each other.

In the blink of an eye, they clashed.

First, kill the one with three pairs of dragon horns!

The Tyrant Fiend, with its excellent combat instincts, made a decision the moment it approached the two dragons.

In the previous ranged contact, it had realized that the Golden Dragon had a hard body with strong defenses, able to withstand its attacks but only suffer minor injuries. Therefore, when faced with the pincer attack of the two dragons, its final decision was to focus its strength and kill the weaker one.

It’s better to break one of its ten fingers than to injure them all.

At the same time, the two Golden Dragons, similar in size, both raised their dragon claws and grabbed at the comparatively smaller Tyrant Fiend.

Faced with the giant claws that were almost as big as its entire body, the Tyrant Fiend was not afraid.

It flapped its wings, disappearing from the spot in an instant, avoiding Saga and the Golden Dragon’s attacks.

Then, in the next instant, the Tyrant Fiend appeared behind Saga.

Spatial Jump!

With Saga in between, the Golden Dragon had to go around its companion to attack the Tyrant Fiend, unable to assist Saga in time. At the same time, the moment the Tyrant Fiend appeared behind Saga, it clenched its hands, swung the serrated heavy sword, and slashed horizontally at Saga’s neck.

As the Tyrant Fiend moved, a large amount of blood-colored flames compressed onto the serrated heavy sword, the edges of the serrated blade turning red-hot like a branding iron, hissing as the high temperature met the cold air, with mist rising.

Faced with the powerful slash of the ninth-tier demon, aiming at a rather fatal part, Saga had no intention of trying to resist the heavy sword slash with a deflection force field.

In a significant disparity, the deflection force field could be broken.

Psychic Step!

In an instant, as the serrated heavy sword slashed towards Saga’s neck, his body disappeared.

“Behind!”

The Tyrant Fiend instantly determined Saga’s landing point, ready to turn around and strike.

However, a dazzling, dreamy light suddenly came from afar, filled with captivating charm that even the Tyrant Fiend, engaged in fierce battle, couldn’t help but be distracted by for a moment.

In the midst of the dreamy light was Charlotte the Gemstone Dragon, with wings spread wide and scales shining in all colors, as if she were at the center of the world.

Tixil the Amethyst Dragon launched a psychic attack at the same time, amplifying the Tyrant Fiend’s emotions, making it even harder to resist being attracted to Charlotte.

“What a beautiful creature, my god would surely love her skull.”

Muttering in a low growl, the charmed Tyrant Fiend momentarily wanted to abandon the battle with the Golden Dragon and Saga to kill Charlotte first.

At the same time, a powerful gust of wind struck from behind the Tyrant Fiend.

Saga stood upright, twisted his waist, and threw a punch, with gravitational arcs continuously gathering around his dragon fist, giving it an extremely heavy feel.

The snowstorm seemed to be attracted by some force, converging in front of Saga’s dragon fist.

The next second, Saga’s dragon fist, wider than the Tyrant Fiend’s body, roared out with an unstoppable force.

Super-Heavy Charged Punch!

By the time the Tyrant Fiend came to its senses and tried to dodge, its vision was already filled with golden diamond-like fine dragon scales, wrapped in snow and wind, and the heavy dragon fist filled the view.

Thump!

The huge dragon fist hit the Tyrant Fiend’s waist squarely.

Its body bent sharply.

As if hit by a rampaging ancient dragon at full speed, the terrifying force made the ninth-tier demon unable to control its body, and it was sent flying backward by the punch, its blood-colored knight armor cracking, caving in, and shattering.

The strength of dragonkind was astonishing.

Even the power of an ordinary middle-rank giant dragon surpassed that of most high-rank humans.

Moreover, Saga was a prodigy among dragons, far from comparable to ordinary True Dragons.

With this super-heavy dragon punch, the Tyrant Fiend’s head buzzed, shattering all its previous judgments about Saga.

It never expected that a dragon whose aura had not yet reached a high rank would have such fierce combat skills, crossing so many ranks to cause it harm.

Fortunately, even under such a powerful punch, the Tyrant Fiend was only knocked back about ten meters.

Unfortunately, the reason it stopped was that it was hit by the Golden Dragon’s sun dragon punch from the opposite side.

The dragon punch mixed with solar energy was not as heavy as Saga’s, but it carried a particularly scorching quality, like holy light, causing the Tyrant Fiend’s body to sting and its blood-colored flames to weaken significantly.

“Here it comes!”

Swoosh!

Before it could react, the Tyrant Fiend was punched by the Golden Dragon like a toy doll towards Saga.

Boom!

Saga’s super-heavy dragon punch landed heavily on the Tyrant Fiend again, striking it back towards the Golden Dragon.

“Another one!”

Thump, thump, thump… Under the impact of tremendous force and the scorching of solar energy, the Tyrant Fiend was stuck between Saga and the Golden Dragon, being tossed back and forth, its body in excruciating pain. It now resembled a strangely shaped baseball being toyed with by two True Dragons in a game-like manner.

Several times when it tried to escape its current predicament.

Tixil the Amethyst Dragon and Charlotte the Gemstone Dragon, who were moving around the perimeter without engaging in frontal combat, always launched psychic attacks or charms at the perfect moment. Although they could only affect the Tyrant Fiend for a brief instant, it was enough to keep it mired in misery.

Dragonkind could often fight beyond their rank against most creatures.

Moreover, the dragons here could often fight beyond their rank even against their own kind. Under their group assault, the Tyrant Fiend was at an absolute disadvantage.

Block!

Saga’s super-heavy dragon punch hit the Tyrant Fiend’s head.

Its skin disintegrated, and its facial bones were visibly fractured and caved in, with one horn breaking off.

“Enough!”

The Tyrant Fiend, being bullied and toyed with by four dragons, roared with surging anger.

Although outnumbered by dragons, it never imagined that with its ninth-tier body, it would end up in such a state.

“Hee hee, ugly demon, do you see how beautiful I am?”

Charlotte’s charm and Tixil’s psychic erosion enveloped the Tyrant Fiend again.

However, the Tyrant Fiend was not weak, and repeated strikes made it more resistant to the combination of Charlotte and Tixil’s techniques, shortening the time they could affect it.

This time, with a fierce shake of its head, the Tyrant Fiend regained its senses.

Then the Golden Dragon’s fist, covered in solar energy, came straight at it.

Spatial Jump!

The still somewhat lucid Tyrant Fiend vanished from the spot in an instant.

The Golden Dragon’s attack hit nothing.

At the same time, the Tyrant Fiend repeated its trick but changed its target, using a long-distance spatial jump to appear next to Tixil, with its serrated heavy sword slashing towards Tixil’s slender and graceful neck.

The attack of the ninth-tier demon could definitely severely injure Tixil, who was relatively fragile compared to Saga and the Golden Dragon.

But feeling the deadly chill, Tixil showed no fear.

She trusted herself and her companions.

Facing the powerful ninth-tier demon, Tixil’s gaze was calm and focused, as she skillfully launched a Mind Blast into the Tyrant Fiend’s will, causing its movements to pause slightly.

The Tyrant Fiend’s mind was filled with raging flames of slaughter.

In an instant, it broke free from the influence of the Mind Blast, and the serrated heavy sword continued to fall.

However On the other side, Saga reached out his arm, aimed at the Tyrant Fiend from afar, and then clenched his dragon claw tightly.

Universal Attraction!

Hum!

Suddenly, a tremendous and heavy gravitational force emanated from around the Tyrant Fiend. It seemed to become a massive source of gravity, but its own body couldn’t exempt itself from this force. The snowstorm was drawn in, evaporating before reaching the Tyrant Fiend due to the blood-colored flames surrounding it, but the evaporated water vapor was still being attracted. Accompanied by the Tyrant Fiend’s roars, it formed a bizarre spectacle.

“Damn it!”

Boom!

The Tyrant Fiend roared, its blood-colored flames soaring into the sky with ferocious momentum, shaking off the converging snowstorm and tearing through the gravitational suppression.

It raised its serrated heavy sword, ready to strike at Tixil once again.

Zzzt!

The Golden Dragon’s eyes sharpened, and two beams of golden light pierced through the snow, hitting the Tyrant Fiend’s chest squarely.

The solid eye beams, as always, had a strong impact, pushing the Tyrant Fiend back, and the serrated heavy sword nearly grazed Tixil’s neck before missing its target.

With one horn broken, its armor in tatters, and injuries all over, the Tyrant Fiend roared furiously.

Due to its attacks being continuously thwarted and being on the receiving end of blows, like a moth trapped in a spider’s web, the Tyrant Fiend’s eyes turned blood-red, and its rationality gradually faded.

One demon claw pressed down, resisting the golden eye beams, barely stabilizing its body, then it lifted its serrated heavy sword, slashing fiercely up and down, pulling out two cross-shaped blood-colored giant blades, still targeting Tixil, the closest to it.

The blood-colored cross blades were fast, and in an instant, they were inches away from Tixil.

Psychic Step!

Tixil reacted swiftly, taking a step and vanishing from the spot, avoiding the slash of the blood-colored cross blades.

Up to this point, not a single dragon had been killed, and it was covered in wounds, with pain constantly washing over it, fueling the Tyrant Fiend’s inner fury even more.

But before it could vent its anger.

The Golden Dragon, like a fierce sun, charged ferociously.

The Tyrant Fiend flapped its wings, dodging the Golden Dragon’s direct charge, and roared with fierce eyes.

“You! I will chop you to pieces and mince—”

Its voice cut off abruptly.

After the Tyrant Fiend dodged the Golden Dragon’s charge, Saga used Psychic Step to appear in front of the Tyrant Fiend, and with both claws clenched together, he smashed down heavily from above.

Engaging in a direct contest of strength with dragonkind was not wise, and it had already experienced the power of Saga’s super-heavy dragon punch.

The Tyrant Fiend instinctively prepared to dodge, but once again, it was momentarily affected by Tixil and Charlotte’s combined charm.

In that moment, the super-heavy dragon punch, filled with overwhelming force, struck the Tyrant Fiend’s head squarely.

Boom!

A shockwave burst forth.

In an instant, the Tyrant Fiend fell silently, like a meteor crashing downwards.

Thud!

Accompanied by waves being stirred up, the bloodied and battered Tyrant Fiend, with both horns broken and looking quite pitiful, was smashed into the deep sea.
