Chapter 85: Beyond Human Limits!
Chapter 85: Beyond Human Limits!
To prove his words were not empty, and perhaps to demonstrate the extent of his prowess, he sought to regain confidence after the recent failure.
Once again, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon took the initiative to attack Yecheng, but unfortunately, with Yecheng's mastery of Shunpo, the dragon's massive size did not provide any advantage.
As expected, the dragon's attack missed its target.
However, just as the dragon's claws swiped through the air, a cunning human-like expression appeared on its face.
In the same instant, it thrust its tail, sharp as a spear, towards the empty space.
"Ding———"
A crisp sound of metal clashing filled the air, and a white-haired figure was sent flying by the dragon's tail.
The sound of metal clashing was due to Yecheng's quick reaction, gripping his long sword horizontally to block the dragon's tail thrust.
Unfortunately, Yecheng's defense was hasty, while the dragon's attack was a well-planned ambush, so naturally, Yecheng was at a disadvantage in this clash.
Yecheng was blown away by a gust of wind, his body flying backwards at high speed. With such a powerful impact, he should have been sent flying for several kilometers.
But this time, he only flew a few hundred meters before colliding with the purple barrier surrounding the area, causing the entire Toxic Divine Domain to tremble slightly.
As Yecheng fell from the barrier towards the ground, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon, still rushing towards him, wore an extremely smug expression.
"Weren't you acting so arrogantly just now? You insignificant human, show me your arrogance now.
As I said before, in this space, you have nowhere to escape, and besides that, I'll show you something even more interesting."
After knocking Yecheng away, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon pursued him, but instead of immediately attacking, it began to taunt and boast about its power.
Aside from the typical trope of the villain dying from talking too much, the dragon's behavior had a simple explanation.
The Poison Dragon had been defeated by Yecheng before, and now, due to a twist of fate, it had resurrected and gained even greater power.
Confronting its old nemesis, it couldn't let its opponent die without making them feel its strength and despair!
With a flap of its wings, the dragon flew into the air, and as it waved its claws, the poison element in the Toxic Divine Domain seemed to be drawn towards it.
The venom, like a gel, was swiftly manipulated by the dragon, and soon, two massive figures gradually became clear before Yecheng.
As these figures took shape, two more dragons, identical to the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon, appeared in the already cramped space.
"Feel the fear now, for this is the power I possess!
My poison has no effect on you, but my claws can still tear your body apart, and my fangs can crush you.
You may have a chance against one of me, but how will you fare against three of me?"
As mentioned earlier, in this place known as the Toxic Divine Domain, the dragon could create elemental creatures.
And now, the two additional Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragons that appeared on the Battlefield were formed through the Elemental Creation within this Divine Domain.
These two Elemental Creations of the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragons, while not as intelligent as the original, possessed the ability to initiate attacks independently and had strength equivalent to eighty percent of the original's power.
As for why more weren't summoned, it was because creating two such physical clones was already the limit of the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon's current capabilities.
"How should we respond? It's just that the target we need to eliminate has increased from one to three.
However, just as you said, this area is indeed a bit small, severely hindering my performance. So, I've decided to break this old man's Divine Domain first."
Night City, having risen again, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the three massive creatures before him. However, his expression didn't show the fear that the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon wanted to see, which left the dragon feeling quite dissatisfied.
"You're still boasting even as you face death! Humans are like this—incredibly insignificant, with only their numbers as their sole advantage. They are inferior creatures with nothing else to offer.
Yet, they possess a pride and greed that surpasses even that of us dragons, along with a tenacity as hard as stone. Perhaps that's the only admirable quality you humans have."
The advantage now lies with me. The Blaze Dragon remains poisoned and unconscious, and the Half-Orc's mana is nearly depleted.
As for myself, not only do I have abundant mana, but I also have the geographical advantage. In this inescapable space, Night City has to face me, the original, and two clones that are only slightly weaker than me. The Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon couldn't fathom how it could possibly lose.
The Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon felt that Night City was boasting because it was facing it head-on.
To break through its Toxic Divine Domain, one needed not just speed but also immense power and mana.
"A mere human..."
The Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon, seeing Night City's audacity, was about to mock him again, but its words stuck in its throat and wouldn't come out.
At that moment, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon sensed an incredibly powerful mana.
This mana was vast, like an ocean, and its fluctuations and aura surged like a flood, rushing towards it!
What surprised the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon was that the source of this overwhelming power wasn't someone else but the very "mere human" who had just been mocking it.
"This is impossible! Even if you're the Hero, it's not possible for you to possess such a magnitude of mana. This clearly surpasses the limits of the human race. What exactly are you?!"
As Night City's mana surged like an unleashed flood, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon's calm expression began to show signs of anxiety and unease.
Night City's mana continued to rise without any apparent limit, quickly reaching a level comparable to the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon.
But this wasn't the end; the powerful mana continued to escalate, eventually forming a substantial mana pillar that directly pierced and shattered the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon's Toxic Divine Domain.
When the purple barrier surrounding the area, like a glass wall, was shattered by Night City's materialized mana, the amount of mana Night City possessed had far surpassed that of the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon.
