Chapter 87: The Divine Toxin Dragon's Submission Plan
Chapter 87: The Divine Toxin Dragon's Submission Plan
"Flash Strike—Knee Thrust!"
The Divine Toxin Dragon initially thought that Night City, who was blocking its clone's attack with a double-handed blade, was already exhausted.
When facing a sneak attack from behind, even if it could use its powerful magic for defense, it would still suffer severe injuries.
Unfortunately, what the Divine Toxin Dragon didn't know was that almost as soon as it appeared behind Night City, Night City's aura perception sensed its presence and reacted immediately.
Flash Strike is an advanced combat technique that combines White Strike and Onmyodo, where spiritual pressure is concentrated at a single point and then released explosively.
Therefore, the application of "Flash Strike" naturally isn't limited to the arms; the legs, as part of the body, can also serve as a conduit for the explosive release of "Flash Strike."
As for why Shattered Horn and the others preferred using their hands instead of their feet, Night City believed there was a reason for that.
It is common knowledge that when using "Flash Strike," the explosive spiritual pressure would tear the clothes at the shoulders and armpits, a result of concentrating the pressure on the arms.
Now, the question arises: if the concentrated spiritual pressure were focused solely on the legs, which part of the clothes would be torn by the explosive pressure?
The Divine Toxin Dragon's bloodthirsty maw was just about to close in on Night City, ready to bite and shatter the human before it.
However, it never expected Night City to suddenly turn around at that moment, flash a ghostly smile at it, and then unleash a powerful burst of energy, kicking it directly on its fangs with a spinning kick!
"Crack—!"
Accompanied by an extremely crisp shattering sound, the Toxin Dragon found that its prized fangs had been brutally kicked and broken!
Not only were its teeth violently shattered, but as the aftermath of the "Flash Strike" hit, the Divine Toxin Dragon felt a powerful force acting upon its body, and its massive frame was helplessly sent flying backward.
Layer upon layer of circular air waves emanated from the Divine Toxin Dragon's back, accompanied by the sound of sonic booms.
This time, the Divine Toxin Dragon was kicked so hard that it flew nearly ten kilometers away! And this was after its back collided with a small hill, using it as a buffer.
The Divine Toxin Dragon had previously used "Toxic Divine Domain" and retracted the poisonous mist that enveloped the area.
The Blaze Dragon, having just awakened, opened its eyes to see the Divine Toxin Dragon being kicked away, and couldn't help but marvel at the absurdity of it.
No matter how many times it watched, it still found it unbelievable; Night City was clearly a human, and from all physical characteristics, there seemed to be nothing amiss.
Yet, they, the mighty Dragon Clan known for their formidable physiques, seemed like mere toys in front of this so-called "human."
A fifty-meter-long body, weighing dozens to hundreds of tons, was punched and sent flying with a single blow?
The Blaze Dragon couldn't help but wince in sympathy for the Divine Toxin Dragon as it watched the kick it had just received.
Wow, the punch it had endured earlier had only sent it flying for a few kilometers. But now, the Divine Toxin Dragon, not only had its fangs shattered, but the kick it just received might have even cracked its skull.
"Earlier, when my master fought me, it was obvious that they were holding back. Otherwise, with that same kick, would I have had a chance to surrender?
Indeed, my previous decision to surrender was the correct one. Opposing such a terrifying master is the most foolish thing to do."
The Blaze Dragon had no doubt about Night City's victory, having personally experienced Night City's power at close range in the Sealed City. She knew exactly how formidable Night City truly was.
After kicking the main body of the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon away, Night City immediately slashed at the clone in front of him, then unleashed a "Star Bite" that pierced the clone's heart, turning it back into poison slime.
After dealing with the second clone, Night City's body rapidly moved through a series of Shunpo, quickly reaching the airspace above the main body of the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon once more. He began chanting Onmyodo incantations anew.
"Turbid Wave, Mad Vessel; Boil! Numbness! Flash! Sleepless; Steel Princess Corrode, Puppet Collapse; Converge! Against the Enemy! Fill the Ground, Let Them Know Their Powerlessness! Pathbreaking Ninety - Black Coffin!"
As Night City's incantations echoed, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon, trapped within the rock wall, suddenly felt an intense sense of impending death.
But as it prepared to react, it discovered that a massive black barrier had appeared around its body, including all four sides.
The black barriers that emerged from all directions, before the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon could react, had already enclosed its body like a giant Black Coffin, sealing it within.
No matter how the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon tried to tear at the barrier with its claws or blast it with magic, it couldn't budge the Black Coffin in the slightest.
As the aura of danger intensified, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon's heart was filled with overwhelming fear. It began to plead for mercy.
The Dragon Clan was indeed proud and powerful, but they only had one life. The Poison Dragon had struggled to revive and become so powerful, and it wasn't ready to die just yet.
"If you're willing to spare me, I'll submit to you. I'm stronger than the Blaze Dragon, and since you're willing to tame her, why not spare me, who's even stronger?"
Inside the massive Black Coffin, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon roared with all its might, trying to plead for its life.
But did the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon truly submit to Night City?
Of course not. When the Blaze Dragon was first tamed by Night City, it had wished for Night City's death to regain its freedom. The Poison Dragon, with a personal grudge against Night City, needed no further explanation.
Contracts bind ordinary monsters, even powerful dragons, but the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon possessed Divine Power, making it possible to break free from the contract's constraints.
The Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon's thoughts were simple. Its top priority was to preserve its life, and then seek an opportunity to break free from Night City's grasp and take revenge.
It already had Divine Power within, but it was still unable to defeat that human monster. Perhaps the Divine Power within it was insufficient.
What if it found more Shrines of the Gods and had their Divine Power imbued into itself?
Although it had lost this battle, the Divine Malevolent Toxin Dragon had already devised a new plan for revenge.
However, to its surprise, despite its pleas for mercy and willingness to submit, the human showed no signs of stopping.
"Why! I've already submitted! Why spare the weaker Blaze Dragon but not me?"
"You must think I'm a fool. I had no previous grudge with the Blaze Dragon, but you and I have a score to settle. Why would I trust your sincerity?
Divine Power is too dangerous and unpredictable. I don't like underlings who might stab me in the back. So, please, just die again."
