Chapter 215 – Death, is the greatest gift I can give to you


The Indestructible Fang might have thought his words were an affirmation and recognition of Saga, but in Saga’s eyes, there was no difference between that and provocation and humiliation.

Across from him.

After hearing the words of the Golden Dragon, The Indestructible Fang was slightly taken aback, but he didn’t get angry. Instead, he chuckled, nodded, and with a tone of stating facts, he said:

“Indeed, I’ve seen your strength with my own eyes.”

“But you know nothing about me, I was presumptuous. You might think I’m offending you.”

The corners of The Indestructible Fang’s mouth rose, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, his smile so wide it was almost unsettling:

“However, please give me a chance to perform next, I will earn your recognition, and make you truly believe…”

He paused, then emphasized: “…that we are of the same kind!”

The Indestructible Fang spoke with conviction.

Saga, expressionless, swept his gaze over The Indestructible Fang’s companions before returning it to The Indestructible Fang and said:

“To claim to be of the same kind as me, heh, are you referring to ganging up on the few?”

The members of The Indestructible Fang’s adventuring team were all elites, now almost averaging ninth rank, and compared to Saga who ventured alone into the Tevel Duchy, they were numerous. On the surface, this was by no means a fair fight.

Compared to Saga, who was invincible fighting outnumbered and even outclassed, The Indestructible Fang’s claim to be the same kind as Saga was naturally scoffed at by him.

At the same time.

After hearing Saga’s words, The Indestructible Fang’s expression remained unchanged, and he smiled:

“While it’s more efficient to fight many against few, I don’t mind having a one-on-one battle with you.”

The other adventurers in his team changed their expressions slightly at their leader’s wish to follow the knightly code of single combat.

Having observed the King of the Near Seas’ combat performance, they knew that this target was not comparable to the previous ones. Although The Indestructible Fang was formidable, if they didn’t all attack together, there was a high probability of failure.

“Leader, don’t fall for the King of the Near Seas’ bluffing strategy.”

“He is a powerful dragon, it’s safest for us to face him together.”

The Holy Knight said gravely.

“Yes, the purpose of companions is to fight side by side.”

The Druid transformed into a Silver Dragon echoed.

On the other side, listening to the adventurers’ conversation, Saga remained expressionless and indifferent, saying, “Don’t waste my time, come at me all together.”

The moment his words fell.

The Golden Dragon raised its head.

Crack!

Between the three pairs of majestic dragon horns, brilliant lightning sparked, and in the next instant, the lightning burst forth, turning into several thick arcs, targeting the adventurers in the air, including The Indestructible Fang, and even the gunner and priest on the ground. Like dancing serpents of thunder, they roared towards their targets in an instant.

The Holy Knight raised an arm.

Crack! A beam of holy light descended from the sky onto the Holy Knight’s left arm, forming a round knightly holy shield that blocked the incoming thunder.

The Silver Dragon roared, and the air filled with ice magic power vibrated, condensing into a thick barrier of ice crystals.

Below, the gunner rolled, pulling out afterimages behind him, dodging the thunder like teleporting.

At that moment, The Indestructible Fang swung his terrifyingly large axe, with blood energy burning like flames, cleaving through the oncoming lightning, entwining and devouring it, while turning around and delivering a fierce slash, sending a blood-colored axe light through the air, severing and dissipating the thunder that was falling towards the priest.

Within this adventuring team, only the priest was at the eighth rank.

The others were all ninth rank existences, and among the best of their rank.

In the first moment, Saga’s simultaneous attack on five people did not cause them direct casualties.

“Since that’s the case, then as you wish, come at me all together.”

The Indestructible Fang laughed loudly, his blood-red wings spread high behind him, gripping the giant axe tightly, he leaped and came down with a direct overhead chop.

The Holy Knight and the Silver Dragon, one on the left and one on the right, attacked the Golden Dragon from the sides.

At the same time, the gunner controlled his magic weapon, extending from behind him, merging into a compound magic machine gun that revolved at high speed, roaring like a tiger, instantly creating a metallic storm, tearing through the wind and sunlight, enveloping the Golden Dragon from below.

The priest did not join the direct attack, whispering prayers to construct divine magic, casting buffs on his teammates.

This adventuring team displayed extremely high combat discipline.

In just an instant.

Attacks from all directions sealed off all of Saga’s escape routes.

His gaze swept over the adventurers coming at him, Saga grinned, revealing sharp fangs that glittered coldly in the sunlight, his faceplate majestic and fearless.

If there was no escape.

Then, he simply wouldn’t dodge.

The Golden Emperor Dragon roared, and the abyssal Dragon Might burst forth instantly, radiating and sweeping across the bodies of the adventurers.

Hum!

The priest’s divine magic shield, which was meant to protect his teammates from Dragon Might, barely reduced some of its effects before shattering, and the adventurers were stunned by the Dragon Might, their forms faltering slightly.

Boom!

The Golden Emperor Dragon stood upright, one claw reaching for the Silver Dragon’s head.

The Silver Dragon had just regained consciousness when it saw a golden hue approaching, and before it could react, the Golden Dragon’s claw enveloped its entire head, twisting it fiercely.

Crack, the Silver Dragon’s body stiffened, its neck vertebrae broken.

“A mere drake dares to bark in front of me!”

The Golden Emperor Dragon looked down on all, breaking the opponent’s neck and with a heavy toss, used the Silver Dragon’s massive body as a shield and weapon, smashing it towards the metallic storm engulfing him and the gunner preparing for a more powerful attack.

The gunner, gripping a large magic sniper rifle with all its patterns lit up, preparing to take a lethal shot, his pupils contracted, forced to pause his attack and dodge the Silver Dragon’s body falling from the sky.

At this time, the other adventurers had already recovered from the shock of Saga’s Dragon Might.

They all had tenacious spirits, strong wills, and the protection of the priest’s divine magic against Dragon Might. Even when outclassed, Saga’s Dragon Might could not control them for long.

In fact, in the hearts of the adventurers, they were already amazed by the strength of Saga’s Dragon Might.

In the past, even when facing the Dragon Might of ninth-rank dragons, the priest’s divine magic shield was enough to withstand it, but the current outcome was beyond their expectations.

“King of the Near Seas, meet your end!”

The adventurers continued their attack.

The Indestructible Fang’s axe chop fell towards the dragon’s head, with blood flames surging like beacon fires reaching the sky, its might unparalleled.

The Axe of Beheading!

At the same time, the Holy Knight riding a Pegasus also approached from the right side, raising a hammer glowing with white light, its head manifesting a huge phantom outline, shaking the space as it smashed towards the side of the Golden Dragon.

The Armor-Breaking Hammer!

The right dragon wing swung savagely, colliding with the Holy Knight’s falling Armor-Breaking Hammer.

Boom!

In the deafening dull sound, Saga’s dragon wing trembled, and the Holy Knight, with a whoosh, was sent flying backward, his Pegasus mount even more pitiful, being directly smashed into a mist of blood.

A dragon’s melee attack methods are not many.

Claw strikes, charges, wing beats, tail sweeps. But, with few techniques, each one invariably carries tremendous power, simple and direct, and once it hits the target, it can cause devastating damage.

Saga raised his head, his gaze sharp as lightning, filled with sharpness, locking eyes with The Indestructible Fang.

Opening his dragon mouth, electromagnetic pulse Dragon Breath burst forth instantly.

To Saga’s surprise, The Indestructible Fang revealed an unsettlingly excited smile.

Facing the dragon’s breath, he did not choose to retreat but instead shouted loudly:

“Bring it on!”

Boom!

The electromagnetic pulse Dragon Breath swept over The Indestructible Fang’s body, his blood energy surging, unable to completely resist the dragon breath’s power, his body surface becoming blurred with flesh and blood.

But as the skin melted away, revealing bunches of muscles, they also healed at a terrifying speed.

Saga’s electromagnetic pulse Dragon Breath could be emitted instantly, its power far from the prepared annihilation breath, but it was definitely beyond the standard of an ordinary eighth-rank cobalt dragon, on par with the breath of a ninth-rank cobalt dragon.

Bathing in this dragon breath, his body tearing and healing at the same time, The Indestructible Fang raised his giant axe, continuing to chop down.

“Interesting.” The Golden Emperor Dragon narrowed his eyes and stopped the breath.

Turning around, twisting his waist, Power Essence gathered on the dragon claw, and then he fiercely slapped towards The Indestructible Fang.

Rip!

The super heavy dragon claw, carrying a heavy sensation as if it could collapse mountains with a single strike, swept towards The Indestructible Fang who was chopping down.

Even though the scene of the Holy Knight being blown away was still fresh in his memory, The Indestructible Fang was undaunted, his axe chopping fiercely, colliding with the dragon’s sharp claw.

Crash!

It was as if a meteor struck the earth.

At the point of contact between the giant axe and the super heavy dragon claw, a ring of shockwaves burst forth instantly, spreading far and wide, even scattering the clouds in the sky, creating a clear blue sky, and the surrounding sea seemed to be impacted, the surface of the water violently shaking, creating waves upon waves, and on Starfall Island, many citizens of the Tevel Duchy immediately blacked out, fainting or dying on the spot in the shockwave.

“What tremendous, power!”

The Indestructible Fang flew out at an angle, his body trailing a bloody streak through the air.

His clothes had already been completely shredded when engulfed by the dragon breath, and under the cover of a layer of blood flames, his blurred flesh rapidly healed, returning to its original state, the half of his face that had melted away, revealing a skeletal visage, also returned to a youthful appearance.

At the same time, Saga frowned and looked down at his own dragon claw.

On the side of the dragon claw, there was a clear axe mark, blood dripping.

In the moment of contact with The Indestructible Fang’s chop, Saga’s dragon scales were broken, and it was the particularly hard claw scales.

At the beginning of the battle with Duke Tsunami, the legendary reversal, Saga used a lot of Power Essence.

The Golden Halo Body Shield could restore Saga’s physical state, allowing him to return to his peak, but it could not replenish the Power Essence that Saga had consumed. To save Power Essence, Saga did not fully activate the deflection Force Field, giving up part of the force field defense, using his own scales to withstand.

His scales also had very strong defensive power, far surpassing those of the same rank Red Dragon and Golden Dragon.

However, they were still broken by The Indestructible Fang.

“This guy, indeed has something special.”

“His strength may not match mine, but he can definitely stand shoulder to shoulder with an ordinary ninth-rank True Dragon, and his attacks are sharp, plus he has an incredibly vigorous recovery power.”

Saga watched The Indestructible Fang, who had stabilized his body, his blood wings fluttering, holding the giant axe stained with hot dragon blood, silently assessing his combat strength.

Whoosh!

The blood remaining on his body ignited, and the blood flames burning around him seemed to be fueled, becoming even more ferocious.

The Indestructible Fang raised his giant axe, licked the blade, his own tongue cut by the sharp edge, bleeding.

He also mixed his own blood with the strands of dragon blood on the axe blade and licked it, looking at Saga, saying:

“King of the Near Seas, don’t underestimate me.”

“Otherwise, if I behead you too easily, I will be very disappointed.”

The Indestructible Fang could become a renowned adventurer, able to slay dragons beyond his rank when he was weak, and gather a group of elite companions around him, earning their trust. He indeed had many extraordinary talents.

First, he was born with immense strength.

At only eight years old, before even stepping onto the warrior’s path, The Indestructible Fang could lift a huge boulder with one hand.

After touching the Transcendent path, this surging strength grew day by day, and with a human body, he was not weaker than a True Dragon in terms of strength.

And this was just part of his talent.

In addition to his innate immense strength.

Things like danger perception, a super-strong physique, and keen reflexes were considered minor talents.

The key was that The Indestructible Fang also had a vitality that ordinary humans could not imagine. His blood surged like a waterfall in his veins every moment, his internal organs were incredibly tough, and he had a recovery power surpassing that of Trolls, like a monster in human skin, not at all like the same species as ordinary humans.

Moreover.

The Indestructible Fang chose to become a Blood Warrior who fought by burning vitality and extracting energy from blood, with unceasing blood flow and endless battle.

With outstanding talents.

His physical attributes perfectly matched the Transcendent path.

Many factors combined to create the monstrous human—The Indestructible Fang.

The Skull Lord would likely be very interested in this human if he were paying attention here.

Although Duke Tsunami was a legendary being, he seemed somewhat pale in comparison, because Duke Tsunami was legendary due to his limit being legendary, while The Indestructible Fang was just beginning.

This was the first monstrous human Saga had encountered.

Licking his lips, feeling the pain from his dragon claw, the Golden Emperor Dragon stared at The Indestructible Fang, his gaze stern, his voice low:

“Human, you have piqued my interest to a certain extent.”

“However, you are still far from being on par with me.”

When ordinary people encounter ordinary dragons, the outcome is clear without surprise.

So, the question arises.

What happens when a monstrous human meets a monstrous dragon?

“Is that so? But I don’t think so.”

The Indestructible Fang grinned, his blood wings fluttering, flying towards Saga again.

At the same time.

The Holy Knight who was blown away summoned another Pegasus and approached again.

In the rubble of a building on the ground, the Silver Dragon, having recovered from the priest’s healing, looked up at the Golden Dragon with lingering fear. If not for the priest’s healing, his neck would have been directly broken, and he would likely have been severely injured or dead.

He took a few deep breaths, exhaling tufts of frost.

The Silver Dragon tried to cast aside the fear in his heart, then flapped his dragon wings and took to the sky.

The gunner, who had dodged the Silver Dragon’s crash, raised his magic sniper rifle again, locking onto the Golden Dragon, ready to move.

The adventuring team’s first wave of attacks was violently countered by Saga.

But they did not suffer a major blow and quickly adjusted their state, coming back for more.

Saga’s gaze narrowed slightly, his scales gleaming, his robust dragon arms spread open, his eyes sweeping over the adventurers besieging him, murmuring softly: “Ants swarm, yet they remain ants.”

Suddenly, the dragon’s wings flapped.

Gravity Blade!

A massive horizontal gravity wave directly crushed towards the Silver Dragon.

The Druid transformed into the Silver Dragon, having nearly been killed by Saga’s strike just now, was highly tense and fearful of the Emperor Dragon’s attack. His spirit was on high alert, and when the gravity blade, barely visible due to the twisted air, swept over, he chose to retreat immediately, his dragon wings flapping, his frosty body rising sharply to avoid the gravity blade’s slash.

At the same time, The Indestructible Fang, wielding his giant axe, his body engulfed in rolling blood flames, once again charged directly at the Golden Emperor Dragon.

The Holy Knight also approached from the flank.

Saga did the same, focusing on The Indestructible Fang’s chop while directly slapping the Holy Knight with his dragon wing.

“The Holy Knight will not fall to the same move!”

The Holy Knight whispered, squeezing his legs together, and at the same time pressing his hand on the Pegasus’ head, pouring a continuous stream of pure holy light into the Pegasus.

Whirr!

The Pegasus mount was strengthened, its hooves stepping on air, like a white lightning bolt, carrying the Holy Knight to dodge Saga’s massive dragon wing slap, while raising the hammer, aiming to smash Saga.

Suddenly, a gust of wind emerged from the side.

Before the hammer could hit Saga’s scales, the Holy Knight caught a glimpse of a long dragon tail whistling towards him from the corner of his eye, the diamond-like golden scales shining with a beautiful and dangerous luster.

Almost as soon as the words fell, the Holy Knight was hit by the dragon tail.

Although he managed to raise the round holy shield in time to block the dragon tail’s strike, the shield formed by his strength was not enough to fully withstand the dragon’s tail hit, and it shattered instantly, only managing to reduce some of the force.

Crash!

At that moment, the thunderous explosion sounded, Saga’s tail sweep surpassed the speed of sound, crushing the shield and hitting the Holy Knight’s body.

The Holy Knight vomited blood, his body in severe pain, as if his bones were shattered.

He was swept away again, but not fatally, after all, he was a ninth-rank knight, tough and resilient, and Saga only used part of his energy to deal with him.

As the Holy Knight was blown away, another Holy Knight’s Pegasus mount was smashed into a mist of blood, limbs torn apart.

The priest extended a finger, shooting a solid white beam, striking the Holy Knight spewing blood from afar, healing his injuries.

As Saga was about to pursue the Holy Knight, preparing to kill one adventurer first.

The Silver Dragon, having avoided the gravity blade and risen higher, breathed frost Dragon Breath towards Saga’s back.

The Indestructible Fang’s attack was also close at hand.

Saga’s dragon arm raised, the deflection Force Field covering his scales, withstanding The Indestructible Fang’s powerful axe chop and the Silver Dragon’s frost Dragon Breath.

Clang!

The deflection Force Field, not fully powered to save energy, was broken, but under Saga’s precise calculation, the remaining force of The Indestructible Fang’s chop could no longer break through his dragon scales, leaving only a white mark before being directly repelled.

The Silver Dragon’s frost Dragon Breath only left insignificant white frost on Saga’s scales, not to mention causing damage, it couldn’t even affect his movements.

“This absurd defensive power.”

The Indestructible Fang’s eyelids twitched.

Not giving him another chance to attack, Saga’s other dragon arm raised, the five-fingered dragon claw with a howling wind came down, casting a shadow that enveloped The Indestructible Fang.

The Indestructible Fang flapped his blood wings, his muscular body showing agile movements as he sidestepped to avoid Saga’s dragon claw.

Dragons possess immense strength due to their powerful bodies.

However, they can sometimes appear cumbersome when facing smaller, much faster creatures.

Super Gravity Field, Weak Gravity Field!

Suddenly, The Indestructible Fang’s body sank heavily, as if pulled by an invisible force.

He quickly reacted, his blood flames burning fiercely, his wings flapping wildly to increase speed. Then, as his heavy body suddenly became light again, The Indestructible Fang almost lost control and crashed into the Golden Emperor Dragon’s other approaching giant claw.

Rip!

The tips of the claw left several deep, bloody gashes across The Indestructible Fang’s chest.

The Indestructible Fang had great balance and quick reflexes, remaining calm even in the shifting super and weak gravity environments, narrowly avoiding Saga’s attack.

Otherwise.

If Saga’s super heavy dragon claw had significantly torn his body, despite his strong recovery, he would have suffered severe damage.

At the same time.

The gunner below, who had been watching, saw his chance, his eyes lighting up as he pulled the trigger, pouring a vast amount of magic power into the sniper rifle.

A crosshair mark appeared on the forehead of the dragon’s faceplate.

In an instant.

A piercing armor-breaking enchanted sniper bullet, faster than the speed of sound and silent as it burst forth, shot towards the dragon’s faceplate like lightning.

The Golden Dragon sneered fiercely, ducking its head.

The deflection Force Field powered up to full, covering the faceplate, colliding with the armor-breaking enchanted sniper bullet.

“Did you think I would overlook your presence? Gunner!”

Gunners come in many varieties.

Some prefer heavy firepower, some prefer long-range bombardment, and some, like the gunner below, prefer sniper magic weapons.

In terms of danger to a single target, a sniper gunner is undoubtedly the greatest threat.

Aside from The Indestructible Fang, the gunner was Saga’s most significant concern.

Additionally, linear attacks, while sharp and fast, are the easiest for Saga to perfectly deflect with his deflection Force Field.

As the armor-breaking enchanted sniper bullet approached, Saga, whose thoughts were racing, calculating the deflection trajectory, charged headfirst.

Crash!

Time seemed to slow down, and in slow motion, the armor-breaking enchanted sniper bullet hit the Golden Dragon’s forehead, but the dragon scale it touched remained intact, unbroken. Instead, the sniper bullet seemed to be deflected by an invisible force, turning around and, with the same fierce speed, reversed along the trajectory Saga had deflected it.

The gunner was momentarily stunned.

Crash!

His head exploded instantly, his brains and blood splattering, like a watermelon smashed by a hammer.

“Richard!” the Silver Dragon cried out in shock.

But the gunner could no longer hear his teammate’s call, his headless body staggering before collapsing to the ground.

Watching his dead comrade, The Indestructible Fang’s expression darkened, and the nearby priest looked on in sorrow, powerless to help without resurrection magic.

Suddenly.

At the back of the dragon’s neck, the air rippled with faint distortions.

The female assassin, who had been invisible since the start of the battle, appeared silently behind Saga’s neck, her blade coated with lethal Slartheon chaos poison, deadly even to dragons, and stabbed down.

However.

The stealthy attack of the female assassin did not escape Saga’s perception.

“Did you think you could escape my senses? Foolish!”

Saga, who had just killed the gunner, did not let his guard down, especially since this sneaky assassin had been lurking around him from the start, looking for an opportunity, and had always been clearly visible within Saga’s perception.

As the hunter thought she had found the right moment to ambush her prey.

Little did she know, she was the prey already caught in the net.

Psychic Step!

In the instant the female assassin’s poisoned blade descended, the dragon’s massive body that blocked out the sun vanished, then reappeared like a specter behind the female assassin.

Huh?

As her target disappeared and heavy breathing came from behind, along with a shadow that obscured the sunlight, the female assassin’s heart tightened.

Then, before she could flee, her body tensed up, and she seemed to hear a series of crisp snaps, her body in agony, her vision darkening as she lost consciousness.

At the same time.

The Golden Dragon flicked its claw, flinging the gruesome mix of blood and bone from within.

His gaze swept over the remaining four adventurers, the blood-stained Golden Emperor Dragon looking down upon all, declaring:

“I shall stand atop the world, where the light of the sun and moon reaches, all shall submit under my dragon wings.”

Revealing his sharp dragon teeth, Saga tilted his chin up, his posture majestic, and said in a deep voice:

“As for you, the defiant, death is the greatest mercy I can offer you.”

At this moment.

The sunlight was scorching, but not as dazzling as the luster of the Golden Emperor Dragon’s scales.
