“Jade Heart Lotus!” The Bone Dragon exclaimed as it sensed the change in John’s soul, glaring at Ben with cold fury. “You are truly generous to give a Beast Clan treasure to a human! He must die today!”
It launched another attack, its massive body charging forward, but thankfully it wasn’t a soul attack.
Boom!
John was unsurprised as he was once again annihilated, triggering his Lifesaver ability. Buzz!
At that moment, a spatial fluctuation heralded Elsa’s arrival.
“Master… hmm, the Azure Dragon!” she gasped, her expression turning grave as she focused on the Bone Dragon in the sky.
The Azure Dragon was a lower-tier god among the Beast Clan.
Fortunately, this creature’s physical form had been destroyed, leaving only its skeletal remains, which significantly weakened its power to that of a demigod.
“Elsa? Servant of the God of Light!” The Azure Dragon’s blood-red eyes glinted with malice as it fixed its gaze on Ben, snarling, “Is this the savior you predicted? A lapdog of the God of Light!”
Ben frowned, too weary to explain. He knew Elsa had broken through to demigod status, which might give them a chance to slay the Azure Dragon.
John turned to Elsa and asked, “Can you handle it?”
She furrowed her brow, her expression serious as she replied, “Master, this guy was once a lower-tier god with powerful soul strength. It might be a bit challenging.”
“Let’s give it a try!” John said, realizing they had no way out. With Elsa’s arrival, the space around them had been sealed, leaving them only one option: to kill their opponent.
“Overestimating yourselves!” The Azure Dragon roared, its massive body twisting as it opened its mouth to unleash a torrent of dragon flames that engulfed the area.
“Old man, protect Flow of Time,” John reminded as he and Elsa charged toward the Azure Dragon.
Whoosh!
A rope appeared, stretching in the wind until it was as large as the Azure Dragon itself, wrapping around it tightly.
“Divine Binding Rope!” the Bone Dragon exclaimed, followed by a gleeful shout, “You little brats truly surprise me!”
Buzz!
A terrifying force surged from the Azure Dragon’s body, attempting to break free from the Divine Binding Rope’s grip.
Elsa furrowed her brow, quickly saying, “Master, this guy is too powerful; I can’t hold him for long.”
“Leave it to me!” John flashed forward, appearing in front of the Bone Dragon. The Sword of Divinity and Demons manifested in his hand, and he struck down fiercely.
Boom!
-48020
A pathetic damage number flashed.
The Azure Dragon hadn’t even reacted when it was left stunned, and a tidal wave of attacks followed.
With gleaming cold edges, John unleashed a relentless barrage, each strike dealing over forty thousand points of true damage.
“Demon Slayer Slash!” the Azure Dragon shouted, its massive blood-red eyes glaring at John. “Kid, I didn’t expect you to comprehend Demon Slayer Slash, but dreaming of killing me with that? Not a chance!”
As it spoke, a surge of soul energy coalesced, and it unleashed another soul attack.
John was startled, but quickly realized it was not the previous Soul Impact; this soul energy was much weaker and manageable.
Boom!
A resounding blast echoed in his mind. Although it didn’t deal significant damage, it interrupted his Demon Slayer Slash attack.
“Damn it!” he cursed. The Divine Binding Rope could seal the Azure Dragon’s power but couldn’t stop its soul attacks.
Fortunately, it couldn’t unleash the initial soul strike again; it seemed that attack could not be used freely.
Whoosh!
John leaped back as dark energy enveloped him, invoking Dark Descent.
Powerful dark and light laws surged, and three magical attacks fell simultaneously.
Holy Light Strike, Light Sword Slash, and the dark magic Annihilation.
This time, he was lucky enough to trigger three Spell Combos, unleashing six magical strikes on the Azure Dragon’s massive body.
Boom…
The terrifying light and dark magic clashed.
John’s magical attacks couldn’t break the Bone Dragon’s magical resistance; they could only
deal true damage.
After one round of attacks, he dealt over seven million true damage.
For the Azure Dragon’s staggering eight billion health, that was almost negligible.
But John’s assault was far from over.
The Sword Intent resonated as he unleashed Flying Sword Strike, Unrivaled Sword Dance, and Infinite Sword Array simultaneously.
With the Wrath of the Gods talent activated, John’s skill cooldowns and magic costs were nearly negligible as he unleashed a fierce barrage on the Azure Dragon.
In an instant, it lost over fifty million health points.
“Damn it! Don’t you have any cooldowns on your skills?” the Azure Dragon snarled, clearly rattled. It unleashed its terrifying power, quickly breaking free from Elsa’s bindings and
charging at the two.
[You were killed by the Azure Dragon. Lifesaver talent activated.]
Once again, John was taken down. In his five seconds of invincibility, he released over twenty
magic attacks, triggering Spell Combos.
The Azure Dragon lost another fifty million health points.
If this continued, it would surely be slain.
“Master, be careful! It’s about to launch a soul attack!” Elsa, having been thrown back,
quickly warned as she realized the Azure Dragon’s next move.
John’s expression shifted; this was the same soul strike it had used before.
Whoosh…
A spectral dragon formed from soul energy surged toward John.
Not daring to underestimate it, he activated Soul Barrier again, bracing for the incoming
attack.
Boom!
A thunderous roar reverberated in his head as John was knocked back, blood streaming from his orifices, nearly causing him to fall from the sky.
Fortunately, the Jade Heart Lotus activated once more, shielding his soul, but even so, it
sustained serious damage.
“Kid, the reverse scale!” Ben shouted urgently. “Its body has been destroyed, and the reverse
scale on its chest is unprotected. That’s its weak point!”
“Old fool, you’re asking for death!” The Azure Dragon roared with fury, abandoning John and
charging straight at Ben.
He didn’t have time to help.
“Master, I’ll take care of it,” Elsa said, her body glowing with Holy Light. A shield of light
formed instantly, protecting Ben and Malina.
Boom!
The light shield shattered immediately, sending Ben and Malina flying.
Malina, being weaker, was caught in the energy wave and was instantly killed.
Fortunately, she had incredible luck; her death triggered a 50% chance for resurrection from
the undead camp.
Terrified, she retreated, eyes wide as she watched the fierce battle above.
“Elsa, bind it again,” John commanded.
Understanding the urgency, Elsa summoned the Divine Binding Rope once more, expanding it
rapidly to temporarily ensnare the Azure Dragon.
“Attack the reverse scale!” John urged, coordinating their assault.
Elsa nodded, her light sword soaring through the air. Two dazzling beams shot toward the
only scale on the Azure Dragon’s skeletal chest.
Boom!
-327,960,000
-65,590,000
Terrifying damage numbers flickered.
Over three hundred million from the light magic, plus sixty million in true damage.
This was something John couldn’t compare to.
But what John excelled at was the Wrath of the Gods talent.
Whoosh!
Light and dark laws swirled around him.
John’s attacks crashed down, delivering six magical strikes.
-11,670,000
-1,312,000
…
Several damage numbers lit up.
John was astonished; his magical attacks dealt over ten million damage directly.
“Wait, this thing’s reverse scale has no defensive power at all!” he suddenly realized, excitement flooding his expression. He swung the Sword of Divinity and Demons, unleashing
more skill attacks.
Elsa sensed the urgency as she swung her light sword, Holy Light flashing, relentlessly
attacking the Azure Dragon’s reverse scale.
A terrifying energy surged.
The Azure Dragon’s blood-red eyes lost their vitality, its soul damaged, teetering on the
brink of collapse.
“Ben, even if I die today, I’ll take you down with me!” it roared, surrounding itself with a
massive surge of power, straining to break free from the Divine Binding Rope.
Ignoring John and Elsa, its gigantic body twisted and lunged straight for Ben. “Watch out!” John yelled, realizing he couldn’t intervene in time.
Elsa quickly conjured a light shield, but it was shattered instantly by the Azure Dragon’s
attack, showing no signs of diminishing force.
Ben stood calmly as the fearsome dragon head loomed closer, his hands behind his back, eyes
slowly closing.
“Azure Dragon, how dare you!” a booming voice echoed as another powerful aura descended
-a demigod had arrived.
Tony appeared, stepping in front of Ben and transforming into his true form.
He was a colossal tortoise, towering like a mountain.
Boom!
The Azure Dragon’s attack collided, sending the giant tortoise flying, blood splattering, and
its hardened shell cracking with fine lines.
Fortunately, it had absorbed the Azure Dragon’s lethal strike.
“Tony, I knew I wouldn’t die!” Ben’s triumphant voice rang out.
At that moment, John and Elsa’s attacks struck simultaneously, aimed at the Azure Dragon’s
reverse scale.
Bang!
Crack!
The only scale on its skeletal chest shattered.
Its massive body crashed down, kicking up a cloud of dust, leaving it with only a few health
points.
“Elsa, leave it to me!” John’s voice rang out as a brilliant sword light flashed in the air, slicing
directly toward the Azure Dragon.
Flying Sword Strike!
“Human, you will regret this…” the Azure Dragon roared, but the sword light fell, cutting off
its voice.
Thud!
The soul fire flickering in its eye sockets extinguished, and it died completely.
[You have slain the demigod Azure Dragon, earning 10.7 billion experience points]
[Your level has risen to 1094…]
[Plunder talent activated, skill points +500, strength +500, constitution +500, you have obtained the Azure Dragon bloodlines (awakened)]
[Azure Dragon bloodlines: Increases four basic attributes by 10,000] Notification messages flashed, and John let out a sigh of relief.
This Azure Dragon had been the strongest enemy he had encountered apart from the God of
Light.
Fortunately, its physical form had been destroyed, revealing a fatal weakness. Otherwise, even with Elsa’s help, it would have been a challenge to defeat it.
But the rewards were plentiful: a significant increase in attributes from Plunder, and the
awakened Azure Dragon bloodlines, boosting his four core attributes by 10,000 points!
John glanced at the items dropped by the Azure Dragon: two primary talent upgrade stones, a mid-tier divine spear called “Rage of the Dragon”.
And ten Spirit Stones, a complete set of Beast Clan treasures, and numerous skill stones. He
collected them all.
As the Azure Dragon fell, the surrounding beasts panicked.
Tony bellowed, “Anyone who doesn’t want to die, stay still!”
The immense divine aura radiated from him, sending the beasts into a state of terror as they
knelt in reverence.
“Elder, congratulations on breaking through to demigod!” John approached Tony and said,
offering his congratulations.
At this moment, Tony looked battered and bloodied. Although he had managed to block the
Azure Dragon’s attack, his injuries were severe.
“I’m still far behind you, kid,” he remarked, glancing at the fallen Azure Dragon with a sigh
of regret.
