Chapter 155: GOD-1108, Shadowflame Level 6, Shadow Stealth Technique to Slaughter Dragons (4K)



Outside, in the tent, Dr. Shen Da looked at the small mirror in Xu Blade's hand, who had just returned to the camp, with curiosity in his eyes.

"Is this mirror GOD-1108?"

He subconsciously reached out towards the mirror, itching to touch and examine it.

As a researcher, he possessed an insatiable curiosity that far surpassed that of ordinary people.

And the existence of Divine Relics, which transcended the theorems of the world, held an extraordinary allure to any scientist, especially one like him who specialized in border exploration.

"To be precise, it's not the mirror itself," Xu Blade spoke calmly.

"The mirror is just an ordinary mirror, nothing special about it. It's what's hidden inside that's extraordinary."

"GOD-1108: Mirror Person."

Taking the mirror from Xu Blade, Dr. Shen examined the mirror's surface, which reflected his own image back at him.

He tapped the mirror's surface, producing a crisp sound, and asked curiously:

"I've seen quite a few 'curio-type' Divine Relics, but this is the first time I've come into close contact with a 'biological-type' Divine Relic."

"This type of Divine Relic usually possesses extraordinary danger, not to mention its ability to possess autonomous consciousness..."

Before Dr. Shen could finish his sentence, the image in the mirror suddenly changed.

In the mirror, a small figure now appeared on his shoulder.

The figure looked to be around eleven or twelve years old, with delicate features and an expression of fatigue mixed with impatience.

The boy was about ten centimeters tall, wearing a set of pajamas embroidered with cartoon bears and holding a small pillow, resembling a fairy from mythical tales.

"Hey, don't go knocking on people's doors while they're sleeping. It's annoying," the little boy said irritably, his voice clearly emanating from the mirror.

"Sorry," Dr. Shen scratched his head.

He turned to look at his own shoulder in reality, and there was no sign of the little boy from the mirror.

"The Mirror Person is the opposite of us; it's a strange life form that lives within mirrors," Xu Blade explained.

"It possesses the ability to move through any 'reflective surface,' be it glass, crystal, water... anywhere that involves the concept of a mirror, it can enter, including the Mirror World."

"Let it enter the Roaring Waterfall and inform Xue Jing of his current situation."

The Mirror Person in the mirror rubbed its eyes and said in a childish voice, "Entering the Mirror World is also dangerous for me. It's my 'superior,' and once I enter, I can't get out on my own."

"Are you sure that someone named Xue Jing can break the Mirror World? You're not tricking me, are you?"

Suspicion filled the Mirror Person's delicate features.

"Xue Jing is an elite among the elites of the Sixth Agency," Xu Blade replied calmly, his expression unchanged.

"As long as he understands his situation, he will definitely solve the problem. You can rest assured."

The Mirror Person crossed its arms and huffed, "I don't know how many times I've been deceived by you humans. I won't easily believe your words."

It paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I have no choice... That little girl, Wu Youqing, promised me that if I helped her this time, she would set me free. She's one of the rare humans who keeps her word, so I'll trust her for now."

"And by extension, I'll trust Xue Jing, whom she trusts."

"Let's go, then. Don't delay; take me there."

Dr. Shen thought for a moment and said, "Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

He wanted to study this Divine Relic a bit more.

The little boy in the mirror glared at him and said, "I'm a light sleeper, and it's easy to wake me up. Once I'm awake, I can't fall back asleep. Do you understand what insomnia is? You're dressed like a gentleman, but you're acting like an ignorant fool."

Dr. Shen said awkwardly, "I'm at least a doctor..."

...

Within the borderlands, in the country of Zihui.

On a rather rugged road, a group of about a dozen people, accompanied by various Darlocs, were traveling forward.

"Priestess, please don't walk so fast and stay close to me. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you in time," said a middle-aged man, looking at Renia, who walked ahead with her head down.

"With your current strength, where you haven't even tamed a single dragon yet, I'm afraid even a Thumb-sized Darloc could kill you..."

"Please don't be willful. Your precious life is of utmost importance. Don't make it difficult for us, your humble servants."

"The other day, when you sneaked out, you got us chewed out by the Shaman!"

Hearing this, Renia pouted and slowed down, meekly responding, "Oh..."

However, her docile attitude only disappointed the middle-aged man further.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately sighed instead.

"This is the last time our patrol team is helping you. If you still can't tame a dragon, then..."

With her head lowered, Renia's expression was hidden, and she replied, "I know. It's the fate of a priestess to be ready to offer herself to the Dragon God at any time. I've made peace with that."

Her voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

The middle-aged man fell silent.

"...I think the priestess is also tired. There's a stream up ahead, and the Darlocs need to drink water too. Let's take a break there."

A middle-aged woman with a gentle appearance spoke up from the side.

"It's strange. We've been searching for so long, yet we haven't seen a single dragon. Long-tailed dragons, red-scaled dragons, and big-mustached dragons... They should all be in this area."

Renia shrugged innocently and said, "Maybe they were all called by the Dragon God for a family reunion at Roaring Waterfall?"

...

The group of about a dozen people arrived at the stream to rest.

Renia, holding a small dog-like Darloc, walked towards the stream to wash her face.

The clear water flowed downstream, revealing a few fish hiding in the crevices of the streambed.

Renia put down the small dog, letting it drink by itself, while she squatted down.

The water reflected her delicate and pretty appearance. She scooped up a handful of water to wet her face, enjoying the refreshing feeling. The restlessness in her heart also eased a little.

Wiping the water stains from her face, Renia opened her eyes.

At that moment, she suddenly noticed something extra in the clear reflection.

In the water, above her head, there seemed to be a tiny person sitting on her head, swinging their little feet.

Renia was taken aback. "What is that?"

...

On a certain mountain peak, Xue Jing was hiding behind a huge boulder.

At this moment, he looked a little disheveled. His black tactical outfit was torn and charred at the edges.

His half-long, half-short black hair seemed to have been licked by flames, slightly curling upwards.

Most of his exposed skin was bright red, and some areas even had blisters.

He pushed up the glasses on his nose and cautiously poked his head out from behind the large rock, glancing up at the sky.

A dragon species, with a body length of over ten meters, its entire body covered in burning scarlet scales, wings on its back, and an appearance resembling the legendary Western dragon, was circling in the sky.

"This fire-breathing dragon is a bit tricky. The temperature of its flame is too high... It also seems to have some kind of magical property, melting my Shadowflame armor instantly."

Xue Jing's eyes narrowed in thought.

"Should I engage it in a long-range battle, or..."

He opened the panel to check his stats.

[Divine Power: 1249]



After the strange fish-like dragon species in the lake, he had killed two more dragon species, each more challenging than the last.

And now, the fire-breathing dragon he faced was the third one, located even closer to the central area.

Its combat power was proportional to its location, far surpassing that of the strange fish-like dragon species. During the fight, Xue Jing had been carelessly sprayed by its dragon breath, instantly melting his Shadowflame armor.

If he hadn't reacted quickly by using the Twin Birth Speed to outrun the range of the dragon breath, he would have suffered more than just these minor burns.

"My current Divine Power is enough to upgrade Shadowflame again and raise it to Level 6."

"Should I upgrade it now?" Xue Jing hesitated.

He wanted to use this Divine Power to enhance his [Fitness] instead.

However, the third enhancement condition for [Fitness] had not yet been met, so he couldn't enhance it for now.

"This fire-breathing dragon is manageable with my current strength, but upgrading Shadowflame to Level 6 would make it safer."

"I'll upgrade Shadowflame first. Divine Power should be spent when it's available. I can earn more later anyway, and there are still plenty of dragon species left to kill."

With that thought, Xue Jing clicked on the upgrade option for Shadowflame.

[Shadowflame Lv.6 (Upgrade Requirement: 49/2000 Divine Power)]



In the sky, the fire-breathing dragon continued to circle, its vertical pupils scanning the area for the annoying little pest.

It did not have much patience and soon gave up on this inefficient method.

Then, its mouth began to glow with flame-colored light.

"ROOOOAR!"

With that dragon's roar, a thick column of raging flames was unleashed from its mouth, sweeping across the ground.

"BOOOM!"

Where the fiery dragon breath passed, rocks melted, trees evaporated, and a massive gorge was plowed into the mountain, as if an eraser had wiped away words written on paper.

The dragon breath scoured the mountain, melting even the massive boulder where Xue Jing had been hiding, leaving no trace of him.

The fire dragon surveyed the mountain, now a charred red mess of molten rock and lava. It was perplexed.

Could that tiny pest have been inadvertently burned to ashes? How strange that it couldn't be found anywhere.

The fire dragon's wings ceased their flapping, and it controlled its bio-force field to slowly descend and hover above the peak.

Its flaming claws gripped the lava, and it used its sharp nose to sniff the air, capturing scents.

Aside from the pleasing aroma of charred wood and sulfur, there was nothing else.

It seemed that tiny pest had been reduced to cinders by its powerful flames.

The fire dragon proudly snorted, shooting two flames from its nostrils.

Its massive wings flapped, ready to take off and leave.

But in a blind spot, just beyond its vision...

A shadow crept quietly, climbing up its right foot and onto its back.

As the fire dragon flapped its wings to take off, a figure rose from the shadows on its back.

Full-body black armor, sharp bone spurs at the joints and along the spine, and a pair of indifferent silver-white eyes—the only visible part of this sinister yet extravagant figure.

Black flames burned quietly on the armor, as if the whole body was releasing dark energy waves, like a guardian of the underworld, a shadowy knight serving the beautiful Queen of Darkness.

"Shadow Stealth..."

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes.

The moment Shadowflame reached Level 6, he instinctively learned this new application of his ability.

He could now hide and move within shadows.

"It's a pity that it seems to consume a lot of energy, and..."

He glanced at his right hand, where the Shadowflame gauntlet was still repairing itself.

"...it doesn't seem to provide immunity from damage."

"However, the stealth capability is top-notch."

Xue Jing raised his hands above his head.

Black flames converged and burned on his palms, transforming into a pitch-black spiral spear.

After reaching Level 6, the weapons created by Shadowflame, both in appearance and material strength, far surpassed their previous incarnations.

His silver-white irises turned into vertical pupils.

With his vision enhanced, lines and dots appeared on the fire dragon's back within his line of sight.

The spiral grooves on his arms extended up to his chest and neck.

By now, his physical strength could withstand the force of three times the output of the Cyclone Thunder.

Coupled with the Twin Birth power, it was six times the original strength!

"SWOOSH!"

The spiral spear rotated, minimizing air resistance as it shot out like a meteor, piercing the fire dragon's back.

The burning, hard scales were easily penetrated, like piercing butter, with no resistance as the spear sank deep into its body.

"ROOOAAR!"

The fire dragon let out a painful, shrill dragon roar as it went berserk, frantically flying erratically in the air.

Xue Jing gripped the spear handle, which was embedded in the dragon's body, and twisted it.

The spear transformed within the dragon, blooming like a lotus, as countless black spikes extended from the spear, piercing the dragon's insides.

"ROOOAAR!"

The group resting by the stream, including those from the country of Zihui, suddenly heard a heart-shaking, painful dragon roar.

All the Darlocs immediately trembled and prostrated themselves, assuming an absolute submissive posture.

"Is that... the Flame-Roaring Dragon?"

The middle-aged man looked at the fire dragon in astonishment as it flew erratically in the sky.

"This is one of the strongest offspring of the Dragon God. What happened? It seems to be... screaming in agony?"

The middle-aged woman beside him widened her eyes in disbelief.

Renia, holding a bowl of water, noticed the figure standing on the fire dragon's back, and it seemed somewhat familiar.

"What is that?"

She murmured, perplexed.

...
