Chapter 43: Yecheng: Is This Blaze Dragon Really That Powerful?
Chapter 43: Yecheng: Is This Blaze Dragon Really That Powerful?
"Soya, speaking from my experience, if I were you, I wouldn't choose to quit your job and become an adventurer right now.
You've seen how strong Big Brother Yecheng is, and that elf maiden you mentioned is also quite powerful, according to you.
Do you think, with your current strength, you could fit into their team if you were to return to being an adventurer?"
Hearing the Guild Master's words, Soya fell silent. Yecheng and Cui were strong enough to slay a Venomous Dragon. Although she believed she had some strength, she would still be a burden to them if she joined their team.
"So, if you really want to help Big Brother Yecheng, your current job is the best option. If you quit this job, you'll lose the last bit of connection you have with them.
By the way, speaking of work, did you hand over the high-difficulty commission to headquarters the last time?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Soya, who was originally planning to quit, was finally persuaded to stay by the Guild Master.
"Guild Master, the commission documents that I was supposed to transfer to headquarters are missing! They were definitely here just now. Could it be that..."
The Adventurer's Guild generally does not refuse commissions due to their high difficulty, as this could affect the guild's reputation.
Once a commission exceeds the local branch's capabilities, it would be handed over to headquarters, where a more capable adventurer would be dispatched to complete the task.
This time, the Marg Town branch received a commission that was beyond their capabilities. Soya, following the Guild Master's instructions, was preparing to transfer this commission to headquarters.
However, when she came down from upstairs just now, she realized the documents were missing. She then recalled that Yecheng seemed to have taken something from the counter while she was arguing with Cui.
Meanwhile, in the outskirts, Cui looked at the document in Yecheng's hand with a peculiar expression.
"Extermination or Slaying of the Legendary Dragon — Blaze Dragon"
When Cui saw the commission in Yecheng's hand, she fell silent. Just a moment ago, she had been saying that the tasks in Marg Town were not that challenging, considering the level of adventurers.
But she didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly. The commission Yecheng now held was one that few people in the entire continent would dare to accept.
Both the Venomous Dragon and the Blaze Dragon were dragons, but in terms of strength and magic power, the Venomous Dragon was far inferior to the Blaze Dragon.
Indeed, while they were both powerful dragons, the Blaze Dragon had been ravaging the continent for years, with a birth time and strength far surpassing that of the Venomous Dragon.
Generally, to slay such a legendary creature, one cannot rely on the strength of just one or two people.
Dragons are at the top of the food chain, and the Blaze Dragon is among the best of them. There is no human in this world who can single-handedly defeat it in battle.
"Yecheng, this task is quite dangerous for us. Maybe we should go back and choose another one..."
Cui, the elf princess who dared to challenge the Venomous Dragon alone, was quite proud and had confidence in her own strength.
However, the Venomous Dragon had taught her a lesson. Now, seeing the commission to slay the Blaze Dragon, she naturally hoped that Yecheng would be more cautious.
"This dragon called the Blaze Dragon is a pretty formidable existence, huh?"
Yecheng hadn't been in this otherworld for long, so he hadn't heard of things like Venomous Dragons or Blaze Dragons.
However, he could still understand the many zeros in the reward column of the commission.
This time was different from when they had previously hunted a Venomous Dragon. The commissioner not only explained the danger and power of the Blaze Dragon without reservation but also offered a generous reward.
"Isn't that obvious? The Blaze Dragon is a dragon that has lived for countless years, leaving many legends on this continent. It is a powerful existence described as a calamity in stories."
Cui rolled her eyes at the money-grubber and gave him a lesson on the power of the Blaze Dragon.
To put it bluntly, before the gods, devils, and heroes appeared, the Blaze Dragon was the most formidable monster in the world.
"Compared to the Venomous Dragon we encountered before, how does this Blaze Dragon's strength measure up?"
Even if Cui explained a lot to Yecheng, he still didn't have a clear concept of "the strongest monster" since he didn't know much about this world. So he had to use the Venomous Dragon they had previously encountered as a benchmark for comparison.
"In terms of race and lineage, both the Venomous Dragon and the Blaze Dragon belong to the powerful dragons.
However, the Blaze Dragon has been on the continent for much longer than the Venomous Dragon. In terms of strength, the Venomous Dragon is far from being a match for the Blaze Dragon."
Although the Venomous Dragon was thoroughly beaten by Yecheng, he felt that the dragon's strength was already quite formidable, comparable to a Menos in the Soul Reaper World.
According to Cui, the Blaze Dragon was even stronger than the Venomous Dragon, meaning it would be on par with an Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde. At that level, it would be on par with the Lieutenant or Captain of the Shinigami in the Soul Reaper World. Therefore, Yecheng was a bit hesitant about whether to take on this mission.
If he had his Zanpakutou and could perform a Shikai, he wouldn't fear the so-called Blaze Dragon.
However, the key issue was that he was just one of the Multiverse Avatars, and his Zanpakutou was in the hands of his counterpart in the Soul Reaper World.
"Let's just go to the village first. Didn't the commission say that if the adventurer who accepts it, they can learn how to defeat the Blaze Dragon from the villagers?"
To Yecheng, the adventurer commissions in this world were somewhat similar to quests in a game.
The "clue to defeat the Blaze Dragon" provided in the commission was clearly a side quest to help players level up or obtain powerful equipment.
Based on the information in the commission, after two days of travel, Yecheng and Cui finally arrived at a strange village.
In this village, Yecheng and Cui once again encountered a familiar face: a Beastman with thick glasses, who looked like he was in his thirties but was actually only seventeen years old.
"Really, I run into you everywhere, Shima Yousuke. I knew you weren't that easy to kill.
But it seems you still haven't learned your lesson. What are you planning to help this village with this time?"
In just a few days, Yecheng noticed that although Shima Yousuke's appearance hadn't changed much, he could clearly feel that the prematurely aged face in front of him had become even stronger!
