Chapter 21: The Crushed Venomous Dragon!
Chapter 21: The Crushed Venomous Dragon!
"This Venomous Dragon is very powerful. You’re no match for it. You should run away as quickly as possible."
The elf maiden, Sucrelchirazegarulunea Aglanzerga Elga, didn’t know who the white-haired man in front of her was, but she was certain he was human.
It wasn’t that she looked down on humans; she was just very clear about the level of human adventurers.
Though it might sound boastful, after all her time on the continent, she had rarely seen human adventurers whose strength could be compared to hers.
Even in front of the Venomous Dragon, she felt like a plaything. The man before her seemed powerful, but he likely wouldn’t be a match for the Venomous Dragon either.
"Whether or not I’m a match for it, we’ll only know after a fight. From what I’ve observed, this thing can only spray poison mist, fly, and has thick skin. There’s nothing else particularly formidable about it."
The elf maiden’s words brought a look of relief to Yecheng’s face. In a desperate situation, she still thought about not involving Yecheng and urged him to run away. This meant she wasn’t a bad person, and it was worth him saving her.
"Roar——————!"
As Yecheng was thinking this, the Venomous Dragon in the sky seemed to understand his words. Feeling its dignity trampled, it let out a roar and lunged at Yecheng from the air!
Though it was just a subspecies dragon, it still carried the blood of the Dragon Race. It wouldn’t tolerate such arrogance from a mere human!
"Be careful, quickly dodge..."
Seeing the Venomous Dragon diving down, the elf maiden didn’t forget to warn Yecheng to dodge. However, she was so astonished by what happened in front of her that she couldn’t finish her sentence.
Facing the Venomous Dragon that was flapping its wings and diving down, the white-haired man in front of her didn’t choose to evade. Instead, he revealed a determined look and charged forward with his sword.
More astonishingly, despite being significantly smaller in size compared to the fifteen-meter-long Venomous Dragon, Yecheng didn’t get knocked away. He managed to block the dragon’s charge with his longsword, stopping the dragon’s horns from hitting him!
"Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang———!"
The collision between the Venomous Dragon’s horns and Yecheng’s longsword produced a series of metallic clanging sounds, and sparks flew everywhere.
Yecheng, of course, couldn’t completely withstand the massive impact of the diving dragon. When he used his longsword to block the dragon’s charge, his body was pushed back several hundred meters by the Venomous Dragon.
His feet plowed deep furrows into the ground, which had already turned into a wasteland!
Even though Yecheng was pushed back hundreds of meters, this scene still terrified the elf maiden.
This was a dragon over fifteen meters long! Even if it was a subspecies dragon, it was still a dragon-type monster. In the same category of monsters, the Venomous Dragon could easily crush any other creature of the same size with its sheer physical strength.
Yet, its dive had been blocked head-on by a human... No, could this man even be human?
Earlier, when she, an elf, was fighting the Venomous Dragon, she had relied on her speed to engage in a drawn-out battle. Fighting a dragon in close combat wasn’t something a normal person would choose to do.
"Little one, you’re getting upset just because I said a few words? But the truth is exactly as I said: apart from your larger physique and your foul, corrosive breath, you’re not really anything special."
Once again mocked by Yecheng, the Venomous Dragon’s anger reached its peak. The human before it had not only mocked it, but had done so twice. Could it possibly endure this?
Seeing Yecheng right in front of it, the Venomous Dragon didn’t even think twice. It opened its massive mouth and spat out a century’s worth of accumulated breath... no, it was a poisonous mist.
This time, the poisonous mist it spat out was far more corrosive and dense than before.
The previous mist had been a spread attack, meant to cover the surrounding area to prevent its prey from escaping.
But now, the poisonous mist the Venomous Dragon spat out was more like a concentrated breath attack.
And since Yecheng had used his longsword to block the dragon’s horn, they were now extremely close. If the poisonous mist hit Yecheng’s face directly, even if he used magic to create a shield like the elf maiden before, it would be almost useless.
The more corrosive poisonous mist would instantly shatter Yecheng’s shield and, in a split second, completely erode his flesh and even his bones.
"Heaven’s Pride, Iron Wall, Dragon’s Walk, Lion’s Roar, Tiger’s Roar, Wolf’s Run, Cut the Heavens Before the Collapse.
Binding Path Eighty-One: Air Cut!"
Almost as soon as the Venomous Dragon opened its jaws, Yecheng had already predicted its next move. So when the Venomous Dragon spat out the poisonous mist, Yecheng quickly finished the incantation of the Kido and extended his fingers, drawing a transparent wall in front of him.
The purple poisonous mist rushed towards Yecheng like a flood, but when it reached his front, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. The highly corrosive mist was unable to reach Yecheng at all.
Despite being so close, the transparent barrier acted like an insurmountable chasm, completely isolating Yecheng from the poisonous mist.
Yecheng’s Reiatsu... or rather, his magic, was far stronger than the Venomous Dragon’s. Moreover, this was a fully chanted 81st Kido. Even though the mist had strong corrosive properties, it still couldn’t break through the seemingly thin transparent barrier.
As the Venomous Dragon looked at the scene before it, showing human-like shock and confusion, Yecheng sheathed his longsword, lowered his body, and looked at the Venomous Dragon with a serious expression. "Since you’ve used your trump card, it’s now my turn to show you my swordsmanship!"
Substantialized magic, like a coiling snake, emanated from Yecheng, accompanied by an invisible aura that spread out from him.
As a creature at the top of the food chain, the Venomous Dragon could now faintly sense a dangerous and deadly aura from Yecheng.
It clearly felt that the human before it was different from the countless prey it had devoured in the past. This human was a real threat that could actually defeat it.
Without a moment’s hesitation, it spread its wings and flew high into the sky, wanting to get as far away from that dangerous human as possible.
"Now you want to run? It’s a bit too late for that..."
