Chapter 512 - 275: Dragon

Chapter 512: Chapter 275: Dragon

Lu Cang stated calmly, his voice ringing with righteousness, "This is a city."

"My friend, to act with such aggression... Are you trying to destroy the entire city?"

"And will you condemn these innocent people to death as well?"

Lu Cang spoke slowly, each word deliberate and resounding with force.

He couldn’t have sounded more righteous.

An Su was stunned.

’How can an eight-year-old boy be so shameless?’

Lu Cang hadn’t revealed his true nature to An Su, so in her eyes, he was indeed just an eight-year-old boy.

Yet he was the one who’d been all for destroying the city.

And he was also the one now putting on this righteous, awe-inspiring act.

However, this guy before him...

’He’s clearly no simpleton.’

"Championing the weak..."

"Heh, you managed to Seal me for a moment. I see you’re no weakling yourself."

"Alright, then. I’ll tell you what this man is researching..."

"He’s researching a Potion that can grant Demons Spirituality."

"If he succeeds... have you considered how the world will change?"

"Demons already have a natural advantage over us in terms of Talent. An Adventurer can rarely defeat a Demon of the Same Tier in a one-on-one fight. Our intellect is the only reason we’ve been able to consistently triumph over them."

"But this man... the Potion he’s creating gives Demons Spirituality."

"The ability to think like a person!"

"Tell me, can he be allowed to continue?"

’So that’s the whole story.’

A faceless man appeared behind Lu Cang. This was a Level 6 Observer Undead.

But Lu Cang had already blurred its features.

After becoming a Level 5 Mage, Lu Cang’s own Perception Range had increased to ten thousand kilometers.

The leap from Level 4 to Level 5 was a world-altering, qualitative transformation.

His Spirit was greatly enhanced.

Lu Cang paused.

’That’s a much more righteous reason than mine. Under normal circumstances, I’d probably just say, ’Go on, kill him then.’’

’But now...’

Lu Cang watched the torrents of Destiny converging here. This place was clearly becoming a major fork in the world’s path.

’My mind is made up.’

"It’s just a Potion, isn’t it?"

"My master once told me that power itself is not terrifying. What’s terrifying are the people who wield it."

"I believe that a person should not die just because they possess a certain power."

He’d thought for a moment and finally managed to cook up a decent excuse.

After all, protecting this man wasn’t his real intention, and finding a justification was proving to be quite a chore.

As his words fell,

Lu Cang’s aura began to surge with power.

A minute had passed.

’My body is now a thousand times stronger.’

Lu Cang felt as if he could shatter heaven and earth, his physical body now omnipotent!

Meanwhile, the golden light in the eyes of the man before him grew sharper.

"You insist on stopping me?"

"It seems you are also on the side of the Demons."

As long as the other party kept talking, Lu Cang wasn’t in a rush.

’The longer this drags on, the bigger my advantage.’

Lu Cang said flatly, "No, I don’t represent any side..."

VMM!

His Final Sense sent a warning!

In a flash, Lu Cang’s figure vanished! But in the next instant, he reappeared...

’No, I can’t just dodge thoughtlessly!’

’That damn guy is still performing his Alchemy. This isn’t just about my own survival; I have to keep him from dying, too!’

’What a pain...’

’Is this what it feels like to carry dead weight?’

In a flash, with the dark castle at its center, layers upon layers of Shields appeared inside and out. At the same time, Lu Cang commandeered all the Restrictions laid upon the entire city!

Every defensive measure was instantly focused on protecting the castle!

"Begone!"

Having done all this, Lu Cang suddenly felt a tremendous force!

A pair of claws slammed towards him! Lu Cang crossed his arms to block!

’Claws?’

BOOM!

A shockwave erupted!

Their bodies collided!

His crossed arms held firm, and he didn’t retreat an inch in the sky!

He took this blow head-on with his physical body!

Lu Cang could clearly sense the shock radiating from his opponent.

And at the moment of physical contact, Lu Cang had also obtained information about the other party.

’Golden Dragon?’

’It’s actually a dragon?’

’In the movies from my past life, every story had a different definition of a dragon.’

’And in this world, dragons exist as well.’

At first, Lu Cang had thought dragons were like Demons—just another type of them.

After all, there were many dragon-kin among the Demons.

But later, Lu Cang had specifically looked into the matter of dragons.

And he learned that the dragons of this world were mythical creatures.

Every dragon was unique in the world.

Depending on their type, they also possessed different Talents.

For example, the Mirror Dragon could reflect all Magic and was naturally immune to all magical attacks.

And the one before him... was a Golden Dragon.

The scales on its claws gleamed with a golden luster.

The two clashed head-on. The surrounding air shuddered, unleashing a terrifying, destructive shockwave. The gale from the mere aftershock of their physical collision flattened houses for dozens of kilometers!

The Golden Dragon’s physical body was unparalleled in the world, its scales so tough they were virtually indestructible by any external force.

And its strength was immense.

It is said that a mere Tier Six Golden Dragon could lift an entire continent!

And the being before him was a Tier Seven Golden Dragon...

It had no other Profession; it was just a Golden Dragon.

Its Level was classified according to the tier system for Demons.

"Well, well... you don’t seem quite human yourself," Lu Cang sneered, his words dripping with mockery.

Though he had blocked that last strike, his entire body had actually suffered grievous, shattering injuries.

If it were an ordinary person,

that single blow would have likely vibrated them to death.

But as he took the blow head-on, his internal organs shattered and fully regenerated in the very same instant.

In fact, it was impossible to even sense that Lu Cang had been harmed at all.

The Golden Dragon flew into a rage and raised its fist again. "Die!"

’Angry, are we?’

This time, Lu Cang didn’t meet the attack head-on. Instead, he raised layer after layer of barriers.

’Perfect. I’ll test the Tier Six Magic I just learned on you...’

’It’s a shame there are so few Tier Five Magic Books.’

Flawless Transmission (Tier Six) (Level 501)

Physical Attack Reflection, Rebound Enhancement, Super Rebound Enhancement, Tenacity, Lianmian, Shared Burden, Stacked Transmission

SWISH!

In front of the Golden Dragon, barriers stacked upon each other, like an interwoven spider web!

In a flash, it formed a sphere of mirrors, completely enveloping the Golden Dragon!

BOOM!

The Golden Dragon balled its claws into fists and punched out again, completely ignoring what effect the barrier might have!

It only knew that something stood in its way!

Then it would smash it open with its fists!

BOOM!

The golden claws struck head-on!

The punch slammed into Lu Cang’s barriers. They shook violently, and a web of cracks instantly appeared!

’This is Tier Six Protective Magic! And every single barrier shares the damage taken!’

’I’ve stacked over ten thousand layers, crisscrossing between heaven and earth!’

’And it managed to crack them with a single punch?’

’What an unparalleled physique!’

But as this blow was struck, the Golden Dragon also shuddered!

The force of that last blow had been completely rebounded onto it.

This was not ordinary Tier Six Magic, but Tier Six Magic at Level 501.

A height that an ordinary Mage could never hope to reach in their lifetime.

It was equivalent to taking its own punch head-on.

Moreover, the cracks in the barriers were only visible for a moment before they completely repaired themselves.

Astonishment!

The Golden Dragon’s eyes were filled with endless astonishment.

"It seems you can’t even break my barriers."

Lu Cang stood before the Golden Dragon, not having retreated much.

A layer of the cracked barrier separated them.

The Golden Dragon’s emotions fluctuated violently, its astonishment turning into a more intense killing intent!

"ROAR!"

Its body suddenly unfurled!

A pair of golden dragon wings appeared behind it!

"Heretical tricks!"

"Nothing but heretical tricks! Watch as I break them with pure power!"

’Heretical tricks? What is he talking about?’

’This Magic couldn’t be more orthodox. It’s pure, without a single impurity.’

’If he thinks *this* is heretical... then I might as well show him what real heresy looks like.’

Lu Cang gripped the Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear in his right hand, raising it.

He poured a massive amount of soul into it!

’I’ve heard that the Golden Dragon’s physique is unparalleled, completely invincible among those of the Same Tier. Back when Iz and the others were in that Tier Seven Dungeon, they ran into a dragon, too.’

’I’m curious, just how strong are these so-called dragons?’

’Can it beat my Level 5 Battle Profession, plus 23 Divine Talents?’

’They call it invincible... but how strong do you really have to be to earn that title?’

’Speaking of which, this is my first time encountering a mythical creature that’s inherently unique.’

’This one should count as one of the strong ones, right?’

’Perfect. I’ll use you to test just how far my power has come.’

’Is it enough for me to do whatever I want in this world?’
