Chapter 308: Chapter 206: Can a Human Really Satisfy a Giant Dragon? Additional Trait [Death Entanglement]

"Queen Medusa returning to the Magic Continent? Is that really possible?" Su Xuan asked Lucia.

Gods are bound by the Laws of the world, making it extremely difficult for them to return to the Magic Continent from the Divine Realm. Even Demigod-Level Holy Judges can only descend to the Magic Continent for a short while before they have to go back to the Divine Realm.

For a God to return to the Magic Continent, they would likely have to make a huge sacrifice—perhaps even give up their Divine Position.

Lucia was also skeptical, shaking her head. "It’s just a rumor. There’s no way to verify its authenticity."

Mare Rhine, however, crossed her arms confidently and said, "That’s absolutely impossible! Once you enter the Divine Realm, you can’t come back. Besides, living in the Divine Realm grants you eternal life. Who would be willing to give up an opportunity like that to return to the Magic Continent?"

"Eternal life..."

Su Xuan was lost in thought for a moment after hearing Mare Rhine’s words. Then, he asked, "Do all living beings in the Divine Realm gain eternal life?"

Mare Rhine replied, "Of course not. Only beings who have truly reached the realm of the Gods can obtain eternal life. Of course, if you manage to win a God’s favor and become their Divine Envoy or Companion, they might have a way to grant you eternal life."

Su Xuan nodded thoughtfully, having gained a deeper understanding of the Divine Realm’s secrets.

"These things are still too far off for us. Even after ascending to a Demigod, it’s extremely difficult to take the next step and become a God. Condensing a Divine Format, ascending to a Divine Position—either one is far more difficult than becoming a Demigod."

As Lucia spoke, a flicker of worry crossed her eyes. Even for her, the Pope of the Bright Church Court, condensing a Divine Format seemed like a distant, almost impossible goal.

Su Xuan nodded in agreement, then changed the subject. "Let’s head into the depths of the swamp first and deal with that Snake-man hiding there."

He then looked at Veronice and commanded, "Veronice, lead the way."

Veronice asked in surprise, "Do I have to go too?"

"What do you think?"

"I..."

Although Veronice was reluctant, she had no choice.

With Veronice’s help, Mare Rhine no longer needed to transform into a Giant Dragon for Su Xuan to ride.

They climbed onto Veronice’s back and flew swiftly toward the deepest part of the swamp.

Just a moment later, they arrived at their destination. And just as Veronice was preparing to land, Su Xuan saw a battle taking place in the distance, and it was already nearing its end.

"How could this be? There’s such a powerful Demon living in this swamp!"

"A D+ Level Guild like ours can’t possibly handle this! Run!"

"Those villagers tricked us! This Demon is at least Level 60. I’m afraid even a C-Level Guild would be no match for it!"

"Run! Run for your lives!"

...

A group of panicked Players and Adventurers were running for their lives. Behind them, a burly male Snake-man was relentlessly pursuing them, brandishing a scimitar.

"You insignificant ants, daring to disturb my slumber. You’re just asking to die!" the male Snake-man sneered. "Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving! Perfect timing, I was getting hungry!"

The moment he finished speaking, he swung his scimitar fiercely, cleaving at the fleeing Players and Adventurers.

In the blink of an eye, an Adventurer was sliced in two, blood splattering everywhere.

At the same time, Su Xuan noticed the bodies floating in the swamp. One of them looked somewhat familiar. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Xia Yu’s male companion.

However, he didn’t see any sign of Xia Yu.

During this brief moment of thought, Su Xuan’s gaze locked onto the male Snake-man. Information about the Snake-man appeared in his vision:

[??? (Epic)]

Level: 60 (0/42,000)

Race: Snake-man

Power: 1,600 / Agility: 1,105 / Magic Power: 866 / Physique: 1,255

Growth: 10 (Gains 10 points to All Attributes with each level up)

Skills: (Expand)

Trait: [Death Entanglement] (Defeat this unit to obtain this Additional Trait!)

"An Additional Trait?"

Seeing the Additional Trait called [Death Entanglement], a glint of excitement flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes.

"A Giant Dragon?"

When Su Xuan and his party appeared riding a Giant Dragon, they immediately drew the attention of the Players.

They were utterly astonished. How could a Giant Dragon be involved in a quest of this level?

It wasn’t just the Players who were shocked; the Snake-man also felt a deep sense of dread.

’Crap! I have to get out of here!’

The Snake-man immediately turned and tried to flee the scene!

"Veronice, stop him! Don’t let him get away!"

Seeing this, Su Xuan quickly gave the order to Veronice.

Although Veronice was inwardly unwilling to obey Su Xuan’s command, she was bound by the Soul Contract and had no choice but to comply.

Therefore, she could only vent her inner resentment on the Snake-man.

"Die! Black Flame Dragon Emperor Wave! ROAR~"

Veronice opened her massive jaws and shot out a beam of light as black as ink.

"AH...!"

Before the Snake-man could even react, he was instantly engulfed by the pitch-black beam.

After all, Veronice was a Level 80 Giant Dragon. To a Level 60 Snake-man, her power was completely overwhelming, leaving him with no way to fight back.

When the beam of light gradually faded, the Snake-man had already been reduced to a wisp of ash, dissipating into the air.

[Target eliminated. EXP +30,000!]

[Acquired Additional Trait—Death Entanglement!]

’He’s dead?’

Su Xuan frowned slightly. ’Didn’t I just tell Veronice to stop the Snake-man?’

’How did he get burned to ash by her Dragon Breath in a single instant?’

’But it doesn’t matter.’

’Speaking of which, do all Giant Dragons like such cringey, over-the-top names for their moves?’

’Black Flame Dragon Emperor Wave... isn’t that just a regular Dragon Breath? Why give it such a cringey name?’

As Su Xuan was pondering this, his gaze shifted to Mare Rhine. His strange look left her feeling a bit confused.

"What?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing."

Su Xuan looked away, his focus shifting to the new Additional Trait he had just obtained: [Death Entanglement].

He was considering which member of the Guild to give the trait to.

’Ivsha?’

’A Succubus with Death Entanglement?’

’Or... Rosaline?’

Su Xuan stroked his chin. ’Rosaline seems like a good choice, since her companion is a water spirit that also has a snake-like form.’

’Then again, I don’t know the specific effects of [Death Entanglement] yet.’

’If it’s just a simple physical binding, that would be too plain.’

"Mission complete. Let’s go."

Su Xuan was about to leap onto Veronice’s back and leave the swamp.

But just then, a massive Black Dragon suddenly appeared on the horizon, its body over three hundred meters long.

"Veronice! Come back with me, now!"

The massive Black Dragon let out a deafening roar at Veronice, causing the entire swamp to tremble violently.

"Oh no! My brother found me!"

As soon as Veronice saw the Black Dragon, she immediately urged Su Xuan, "Get on, quick! We have to go now!"

"Your brother?"

Though confused, Su Xuan quickly leaped onto Veronice’s back, and they left the swamp.

But the moment the Black Dragon caught a glimpse of Su Xuan, it froze, its pursuit coming to a halt.

It muttered in disbelief, "There’s a man on little sis’s back? Little sis is finally looking for a man!"

However, its expression soon turned to one of concern.

"Oh, little sis~ Why would you find a human? Can a human even satisfy you? He’s so tiny! He’s not even as big as one of your scales!"
