Chapter 514 - 277: You Are Inferior to Me

Chapter 514: Chapter 277: You Are Inferior to Me

’It’s changing phases again.’

’Just like fighting a boss.’

But the previous phases really didn’t feel that threatening. If this was all the power a so-called dragon had...

Lu Cang would have been genuinely disappointed.

Back when he heard Chi Cheng and the others tell their adventure stories, a Tier Seven dragon had caused Iz’s party a great deal of trouble.

Although he always believed he could surpass them,

in his heart, he had always seen Chi Cheng and Iz as the goal he was striving for.

If a dragon like this was what gave Iz and the others so much trouble,

he would feel as if an illusion had been shattered for some reason.

But now...

Lu Cang stood with his hands in his pockets, gazing up at the Golden Dragon in the sky!

’The reality is a little different from what I imagined.’

Legends always said that Giant Dragons were enormous, but he never expected one to be *this* enormous!

A few hundred meters? A few thousand?

No...

The size of this Giant Dragon simply didn’t belong in the same world as a creature like a human!

It spread its wings, and the golden appendages blotted out the entire sky. A golden power, as tangible as a physical object, pressed down. The mere pressure of its aura was enough to crush the earth below!

With the exception of the one castle Lu Cang was protecting, the entire city was reduced to ruins the instant the dragon revealed its true form!

A colossal draconic shadow! It was comparable in size to Earth!

’Can a dragon’s body really be this big?’

’It’s already comparable to a Submerged Land Level Demon...’

From within the ruins, two powerful figures rose into the sky!

"A dragon!"

"Why would a dragon appear here?!"

Lu Cang turned his head to look at them.

’They’re Level 7 Reincarnators. Only two of them.’

’It seems Level 7 Reincarnators are still quite rare.’

’A city this big, and there are only two Level 7s.’

’Compared to this, Miselux really is a mixed bag.’

’There were far more than two Level 7s over there.’

The Giant Dragon in the sky let out a low growl. "Human."

"These people all died because of you!"

"I had no need to reveal my true form. I would have left after obliterating him."

"But you insisted on causing this devastation!"

"My power is not something you mortals can comprehend!"

The two Reincarnators followed the Golden Dragon’s powerful Perception and saw a child in black robes, also holding a dark War Spear, meeting the Golden Dragon’s gaze in the sky.

"Oh... but I don’t think your power can necessarily beat mine."

He had stalled for three minutes. By now, his physical strength and recovery speed were three thousand times their base levels.

At the same time, the damage he took from his opponent’s attacks would only get lower and lower.

After one minute, the damage was reduced by ninety percent.

After two minutes, his opponent’s attacks would only have one percent of their original effect on him.

And now, after three minutes... it could only inflict one-thousandth of the original damage.

’The damage reduction multiplies by ten every minute.’

Lu Cang’s Perception swept downwards.

’If I let it attack the castle below directly, I might not be able to protect it. I have to draw all of its attention to me.’

’I’ve heard that all Giant Dragons have incredibly arrogant pride. I’ll try to exploit its psychology...’

’Otherwise... I might survive.’

’But I can’t guarantee that member of the Blood Race won’t be minced into paste. After all, the vast majority of my Talents are for self-preservation, not protecting others.’

’It just called my Magic some kind of wicked art. It seems it should be easy to provoke.’

In an instant!

Lu Cang appeared directly in front of the Golden Dragon!

The difference between his size and its size was like that of a human child compared to the planet Earth.

Forget about striking any vital points.

A single punch wouldn’t even be able to cover a single scale completely!

"Golden Dragon, in terms of pure physical strength, you’re no match for me. Do you dare to fight me in a fair and honorable battle?"

"Let’s make a wager on the life of the Blood Race member in the castle below."

"If I lose, you can kill me, and then kill him."

"But if you don’t dare, it means you believe you are physically inferior to me!"

"Inferior to a mere Level 5 Warrior!"

Lu Cang’s body trembled!

His robes disintegrated, revealing perfectly symmetrical muscles with an infinite aesthetic appeal.

Although he still had the body of a child, his muscular form was flawless.

Any lovestruck young maiden who saw him would blush in amazement.

"Fair and square. I won’t use Magic, only Combat Skills! I’ll beat you into submission with my body alone!"

Lu Cang emanated the aura of a Level 5 Warrior.

’Under normal circumstances, it’s hard to tell a person’s Profession when their aura is concealed.’

’But when someone emanates their aura so brazenly, it’s unmistakable.’

"Or is it that you, a Golden Dragon who claims to have unparalleled physical prowess, don’t even dare to face a Level 5 Warrior?"

"If you don’t dare, then go ahead and attack the Blood Race member below. Use your despicable methods!"

Lu Cang’s tone was deep and heavy, filled with endless provocation.

"Who did you say... doesn’t dare?!"

"Despicable methods are something only you humans use! I have always fought honorably!"

"Never has a single soul said I was afraid to accept a challenge!"

’Ah... it finally took the bait.’

Lu Cang felt a bit helpless. After all, Combat Skills were only a small part of his overall fighting style.

His true, complete power was a combination of Magic, soul abilities, precognition and analysis, and even methods like Rituals, Restrictions, and Summoning the Undead.

If the fight was reduced to a pure physical brawl, he would undoubtedly be fighting with his hands tied.

But Lu Cang didn’t have any other tricks up his sleeve.

Lu Cang could sense that the Blood Race member below had entered the most critical stage of their research. If they were disturbed now, all their previous efforts might be for naught.

The Blood Race member probably had no idea what was happening outside.

Lu Cang’s Protective Magic and Restrictions not only blocked the vibrations but also the sound; nothing from the outside world could get in.

Lu Cang was certain he could survive against this Golden Dragon.

But protecting that building and keeping it completely intact from the Golden Dragon’s attacks?

’Right now, I really can’t do that.’

He had only just advanced to a Level 5 Mage and hadn’t mastered many Tier Six spells—only a little over a thousand of them.

’And not all of them are Protective Magic. If the Golden Dragon really decides to brute-force it...’

’I really can’t protect the Blood Race member.’

But fortunately... achieving one’s goals didn’t always come down to raw power. Brains were also crucial.

"Very well."

"My intention was always to kill you first, then slaughter it!"

"Today, neither of you will leave this place alive!"

Lu Cang felt the dragon’s killing intent wash over him. In the short time it took to exchange these few words, he had stalled for another half a minute.

「Azure Sky Stream - Third Form·Illusion Strike」

In that instant, the dark War Spear dissolved into countless flitting black shadows, all of them erupting at once!

BOOM!

Countless dark patterns blasted across the Golden Dragon’s hide!

However, the strike left its body completely unharmed! On the contrary, the Golden Dragon beat its wings! It instantly charged straight forward!

’Despite its immense size...’

’it moved at a speed comparable to teleportation, crashing into Lu Cang in a mere instant!’

Lu Cang felt his entire body shatter, but it was repaired in the next moment.

’Even after taking only one-thousandth of the impact force, my body was still shattered?’

’These so-called dragons are truly absurd.’

’If I hadn’t advanced, I feel like it would have been really hard to beat this dragon.’

The Golden Dragon rammed into Lu Cang, sending him flying backward!

In just a brief moment, the battlefield was left far behind. He was knocked from the city into the wilderness, then out of the wilderness and over a distant sea!

Lu Cang saw a sea as murky as ink, its waves churning violently!

The battlefield was now the Muddy Sea!
