Minori stood on the huge golden head pulled by the Dragonkin Radong, swinging the Magic Greatsword in his hand: "Four Light Consecutive Slashes · Wind · Break!"
Whoosh!
Four sharp sword lights condensed in mid-air, then instantly merged into one, forming a point of destruction, striking the head.
Blood mist sprayed from his head like a fountain.
"Awoo—"
The Dragonkin Radong let out a violent howl of pain, and a slash over a meter long, deeply embedded in his skull, appeared on his head.
His massive body, over 20 meters tall, staggered forward, and just as he was about to fall to the ground, his two pairs of dragon wings on his back flapped forcefully, creating a blast of air, and he regained his balance.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
He swung his two dragon claws, swiping at Minori on his head.
"Dimensional Movement!"
Minori's figure disappeared, this time standing on the back of the golden giant dragon.
"It's hardened again. The defense value has increased after transforming into a giant dragon. Just based on pure stats, it's already stronger than the Ancient Fire Dragon."
Rumble!
The golden giant dragon let out a painful groan, flapping its wings to ascend into the air, constantly twisting its body, trying to shake Minori off.
At the same time.
The Dragonkin Radong, transformed into a giant dragon, twisted his somewhat elongated neck and sprayed the fire accumulated in his mouth at Minori on his back.
Dragon Breath!
The reddish-orange flames turned into a sea of fire, covering his entire back.
Waves of flames impacted the figure on his back, and the intense heat and strong sulfurous smell distorted the entire surrounding air.
The dazzling red light dyed the sky red!
All the Humans in the Oasis could already see the golden giant dragon that suddenly appeared flying in mid-air, and everyone's faces were filled with fear.
Since just now, they had been constantly hearing terrifying vibrations, which was the Hero fighting the monster that suddenly appeared.
But they never expected that a legendary Dragon would actually appear!
"Hero Lord."
Yaraal's face was full of worry.
Even from such a distance, she could still feel the terrifying aura emanating from the giant dragon in the sky.
This was a battle she simply couldn't participate in!
"Such power, only legendary Gods can contend against it, right?"
Yaraal's eyes contained fear and powerlessness.
In mid-air.
"Where are you attacking?"
Minori's figure suddenly appeared from in front of the golden giant dragon.
This caused the Dragonkin Radong's action of spraying Dragon Breath to freeze. He hadn't noticed when Minori had left at all. He quickly stopped spraying flames and looked at the figure suspended in mid-air opposite him.
Third-tier magic, "Flight"?
"You bastard!"
The golden giant dragon roared, his head feeling somewhat dizzy. The intense pain from the wound on his head surged throughout his body, constantly bleeding and dripping onto the Desert below, following the golden scales.
Third-tier magic couldn't harm him at all, but among the magic this guy controlled, there were movement-type magic and flight-type magic.
This made the Dragonkin Radong realize that even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't.
He couldn't win, and he couldn't escape.
This unprecedented experience made him feel the breath of death so close to him, and a strange chill permeated his entire body.
"Fear" reduced the negative emotions like irritability after transforming into a giant dragon, and his mind seemed to become much clearer.
The Supreme Great God Kings and the bloodlines of these defeated Gods were originally enemies. There could be no reconciliation between them, only a fight to the death!
The Dragonkin Radong quickly analyzed Minori's power. The third-tier Magic Power System magic was insignificant, but the opponent's Warrior methods were powerful and could be combined with elemental magic.
Even knowing this, it seemed useless!
The Dragonkin Radong thought and thought, and only a "war of attrition" had a chance of winning.
The opponent's melee ability was extremely strong. He could only rely on the Dragonkin race and the natural resistance to physical and magic attacks after transforming into a giant dragon, constantly using the advantage of being in the air to stall for time.
The opponent was skilled in the Warrior system, so his magic power must not be much!
As long as he could drag it out until this annoying guy's magic power was exhausted, he could gain some initiative by using the aerial advantage, and he could also retreat calmly.
Thinking of this.
"Roar!"
The golden giant dragon roared again, flapping his wings to create distance. He had already decided to use his size advantage and natural Flight ability for a war of attrition.
"Steel Skin"!
A special ability in the Monk profession, which allows the user to control Ki to cover their entire body, making their skin harder, and even deflecting weapons to a certain extent.
"His HP is thick, and his defense is high. This kind of opponent is indeed very troublesome."
Minori noticed the Dragonkin Radong's movements and guessed his thoughts: "But I'm not interested in playing with you anymore."
"Ninjutsu · Immovable Restraint Technique"
The retreating golden giant dragon's body suddenly stiffened in mid-air.
"Dimensional Movement"
Minori's figure disappeared with a whoosh, instantly arriving behind the golden giant dragon, at the left dragon wing.
"Ability Up"
"Precognition"
"Possibility Sense"
"Four Light Consecutive Slashes · Wind · Break"
Minori's eyes flickered slightly, finding a weak spot on the dragon wing. With a twist of his wrist, a translucent flow of wind elemental energy covered the surface of the Magic Greatsword. As the sword swung.
A huge wind elemental slash cut down.
Puchi!
The huge golden dragon wing was severed amidst screams.
Minori's figure flashed, instantly moving to the right dragon wing, and swung his sword down again.
Another pair of golden dragon wings was severed!
Crimson blood dyed the sky red, turning into a rain of blood falling from mid-air.
"Ah, ah, awoo!"
The Dragonkin Radong wailed in pain. The intense pain made him break free from the restraint skill, but having lost his wings, his body uncontrollably crashed towards the ground from mid-air.
Boom!
His massive body falling created a huge roar, and then it hit the ground heavily, making a dull thud.
The golden giant dragon's body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming back into his previous Dragonkin form.
Whoosh!
Minori also descended from the air at this time, looking at the Dragonkin Radong, who had lost his arms and was twisting in pain, and activated magic:
"Charm!"
"Ah—ah—"
"It hurts so much, you defeated God's bloodline, I'm going to kill you!"
The Dragonkin Radong constantly cursed and wailed in pain.
Minori noticed that the Charm magic was being resisted and had actually failed. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "He can still resist after being so severely injured?"
Bang!
Casually sticking the Magic Greatsword into the sand nearby, Minori walked forward and punched the Dragonkin's head.
The astonishing force stunned the Dragonkin, and his screams and curses stopped abruptly.
"Charm!"
"Huh, he can still resist, is it a racial ability?"
Minori activated the back magic again, finding that it was still being resisted, so he could only raise his fist and swing again.
Bang!
"Charm!"
Bang!
"Charm!"
Bang!
[TL: Scott Sterling!!!!]
"Wait..."
Bang!
After continuous heavy punches, until the Dragonkin Radong's entire head was a bloody mess, the "Charm" finally succeeded.
Looking at the Dragonkin Radong, whose golden scales on his head had fallen off, his cheeks were swollen like steamed buns, and his eyes were only a slit, Minori's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
Since he hadn't succeeded in using Charm magic continuously, he guessed that the opponent probably possessed a passive ability that nullified Charm.
Otherwise, it couldn't be explained.
And the reason it succeeded this time.
Probably because the Dragonkin Radong subconsciously gave up resisting, so the Charm magic completely took effect.
"Another useful piece of information."
Minori shook his slightly numb fist. The opponent had a racial advantage, and his physical defense value might be slightly higher than his.
This made him think of Undead like the Bone King. Although they had passive abilities like Fear Nullification and Calmness, they would still experience fear or emotional agitation.
"Where is this place?"
Minori asked the first question he wanted to confirm.
"do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do..."
The Dragonkin Radong raised his face, which was swollen like a steamed bun, and spoke indistinctly.
"..."
Minori expressionlessly took out a bottle of Regeneration Potion and sprinkled it on the opponent's face to alleviate his injuries.
"This place... is the desolate land on the easternmost side of the continent."
The Dragonkin Radong's eyes were dull, and his speech was still a bit unclear, but the meaning of his words could already be understood.
Hearing the opponent's answer.
Minori finally understood the location of this place, and his face showed a surprised expression.
This Despair Valley and Desert area were located on the easternmost side of this vast continent. It should be known that the location of the Human map is in the northwest corner of the continent.
In other words, one is on the easternmost side, and the other is on the westernmost side.
"No wonder, even using 'Superior Teleport' couldn't directly teleport here."
Minori muttered softly, perhaps only using a higher-level "Teleportation Gate" would work.
"Why did you want to eliminate the Humans here?"
Minori spoke again.
"My mission is to protect the Humans here. If this group of Humans doesn't die, I cannot leave this place."
The Dragonkin Radong said dully: "I want to return to the Supreme Great Land [Eryuentiu]."
[Eryuentiu]?
Minori knew this place, a city below the Eight Greed Kings' floating city guild base.
Minori didn't know the exact location, but he knew that Fluder in the Empire had once gone to the guild where the Eight Greed Kings were located to borrow an item, although he didn't succeed.
However, he knew the location of the floating city.
And this descendant of the Eight Greed Kings in front of him would know even more.
"How did the Eight Greed Kings die?"
Minori's eyes narrowed, and he asked.
"I don't know."
The Dragonkin Radong shook his head.
Hearing this answer, Minori frowned slightly and asked again.
"After the Supreme Great God Kings ended the 'War to Eliminate the Dragon Kings' campaign, because I didn't inherit the power of the 'King's Aspect', I was dispatched to this place."
"After that, I don't know what happened."
The Dragonkin Radong responded.
Minori pondered. Although the information was not much, the amount of information was somewhat astonishing.
"King's Aspect?"
"God's descendants who possess the power of the 'King's Aspect' can constantly become stronger... and my strength has stagnated since 500 years ago."
"Moreover, I am a failed product..."
When the Dragonkin Radong said this, even in a charmed state, he was still filled with disappointment and low spirits.
Under his patient explanation.
Minori finally understood the meaning of "King's Aspect". Simply put, only the descendants of the Eight Greed Kings who break through level 50 represent possessing the power of the "King's Aspect".
According to the Dragonkin Radong, among the many descendants of the Eight Greed Kings he knew, only a few truly inherited the power of the "King's Aspect".
"Failed product?"
"Among the powerful Dragon race that could contend with the Supreme Great God Kings, Dragons that reached the Ancient level or possessed special abilities were called Dragon Kings."
"And Dragons among the Dragon Kings who could master the power called [Primal Magic] were called True Dragon Kings."
"This kind of terrifying power, which even the Supreme Great God Kings felt was powerful, after defeating many True Dragon Kings, the eight Supreme Great God Kings wanted to obtain this power called [Primal Magic]."
"They began researching this power..."
The Dragonkin Radong kept narrating little-known secrets that had disappeared in history.
The more Minori listened, the more he was shocked, and a serious and solemn expression appeared on his face. He suddenly felt that he might have overlooked an important matter.
Since he could research the magic and ritual power of the Otherworld, how could the Six Great Gods, Eight Greed Kings, and others who arrived earlier not research the power in the Otherworld.
No one is a fool!
Even the Bone King, with the help of the NPCs and resources of the Great Tomb Of Nazarick, conducted various experiments in just a few years.
Not to mention other Players!
"In order to research the power called [Primal Magic], the Supreme Great God Kings collected a large number of True Dragon King corpses and conducted various experiments."
"They even activated a supreme treasure, a World Item called [Nameless Spellbook]."
The Dragonkin Radong's tone was dejected at the end:
"Because my power could no longer grow, and I had the Supreme God Kings' speculation that the Dragonkin race had some connection with Dragons, I participated in the experiment."
"After obtaining a true dragon king's heart, I gained the ability to transform into a Dragon, but this power didn't increase my strength much. Instead, there were various restrictions after transforming, and I couldn't even use some professional abilities."
"The experiment ultimately ended in failure. As for whether the experiment continued after I left [Eryuentiu], I don't know."
After digesting this information, Minori looked at the Dragonkin Radong: "Where is that true dragon king's heart?"
The Dragonkin Radong weakly raised his hand and pointed to the location of his heart.
Bang!
Minori swung his arm and struck the opponent's neck with a hand chop. The Dragonkin Radong was already severely injured and very weak, so he was easily knocked unconscious.
Charm magic only affects the mind and cannot make him do things that harm himself. Minori could only knock him unconscious first before checking.
He picked up the Magic Greatsword that was stuck in the sand nearby.
He aimed at the opponent's chest.
Minori injected wind attribute magic power to increase the sharpness of the blade, and it took some effort to cut open the skin on the opponent's chest.
A large amount of blood gushed out—
The next moment.
Minori saw a weakly beating heart. It was by no means the appearance of a normal heart. The entire heart's surface was covered with a golden plating like a spider web.
Vaguely, dense magical characters could be seen faintly moving on the surface of the heart, flashing with the beating of the heart.
"A true dragon king's heart can't be this small. Has it been specially magically modified?"
Minori's eyes stared at the magic patterns on the heart, and in just a short moment, a feeling of dizziness came over him, which made him quickly look away:
"The ability of 'Magic Master' couldn't parse it immediately. Is it the power of the World Item 'Nameless Spellbook'?"
Minori was inwardly astonished. He subconsciously released magic at the heart: "Item Appraisal."
Item: Special Craft · True Dragon King's Heart
Level: ??
Restriction: ??
Effect: ??
Description: ??
Looking at the string of question marks, with only a simple name information, this was still something he learned from the Dragonkin Radong's mouth.
"Hero Lord!"
"Hero Lord!"
Calls from Yaraal and others came from the Desert in the distance.
Minori came back to his senses, suppressed his inner surprise, took out a healing potion again, and sprinkled it on the opponent's chest to help his injuries recover a little.
He still had many important pieces of information to interrogate, and this [True Dragon King's Heart] that allowed the Dragonkin Radong to transform into a giant dragon.
Its value probably exceeded all the magic items he had seen before.
