Chapter 217: CH : 211 Abyss Demonic Dragon
It had been nearly two years since I had subdued the mosasaurus, and this big guy's intelligence was no worse than that of a human.
In terms of strength, it had also upgraded from the original 15th order to the 16th order. Coupled with its massive size, it would be difficult for ordinary master-level professionals of level 18 or 19 to kill it. After all, it had high health and strong defense.
As the caretaker of the teleportation altar, it was sufficient.
Under the mosasaur's reluctant gaze, I placed a small pile of elemental crystals. The teleportation altar lit up, and my figure disappeared in a flash.
---
Abyss.
City of Duolun.
Under the transformation technique, I, in the form of a three-meter dragon-man, walked out of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce and headed toward the wilderness outside Duolun City.
After passing through several Any Doors, I arrived at a great rift valley tens of thousands of miles away from Duolun City.
I, who was in an invisible state, floated in the air, looking at the obscure and fierce dragon power emanating from the depths of the Great Rift Valley below, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
As expected of the Ten Thousand Realms Chamber of Commerce, with footprints all over the star realms, the news was indeed accurate.
My figure flashed as I entered the Great Rift Valley.
A moment later, a violent explosion roared within the Great Rift Valley.
Two ferocious dragon roars sounded almost simultaneously.
Amidst the dust and rubble, a muscular black dragon, more than fifty meters in length, was engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand battle with a slightly smaller abyss dragon, whose body measured over forty meters. The fight was extremely fierce. The claws of the two giant black beasts clashed, their tails struck each other, and their relentless combat left dragon scales shattered and blood dripping.
The Abyss Demonic Dragon, a native abyssal dragon species, is not of the same race as true dragons.
Of course, the Abyss Demonic Dragon and true dragons are very similar in many aspects. True dragons inherit the legacy of the dragon race, while the Abyss Demonic Dragon carries the inheritance of the demonic dragon. True dragons possess dragon power and dragon breath, and the Abyss Demonic Dragon does as well.
The only major difference is that the Abyss Demonic Dragon excels in physical prowess, making them generally massive in size, ranging from tens to hundreds of meters. After all, the Abyss is teeming with colossal beasts, and some special varieties of Abyss Demonic Dragons can even grow to the exaggerated size of thousands of meters.
True dragons, though inferior to abyss dragons in physical strength, surpass them in spellcasting talent. Older and more knowledgeable dragons typically match abyss dragons in overall combat power.
For instance, white dragons are approximately equal in strength to one-horned abyss dragons of the same rank.
Red dragons, on the other hand, are comparable in power to triangular four-winged abyss dragons.
The strength of an Abyss Dragon's bloodline is largely determined by the number of horns and wings it possesses.
The black dragon currently in battle was facing an Abyss Demonic Dragon at the peak of the 19th order, boasting three horns and four wings—equivalent in strength to a red dragon of the same order.
"The power is too weak, too weak!" I laughed ferociously, and with a mighty swing of my thick dragon tail, brimming with terrifying power, I sent the black, three-horned, four-winged Abyss Dragon crashing into the rock wall.
The two giant beasts were using nothing but pure brute force at this moment.
The Abyss Demonic Dragon relishes fighting and killing with the sheer power of its dragon body, resorting to other methods only when brute strength alone proves insufficient.
And I was naturally pleased to see this.
If it was purely about brute strength, without the influence of other powers, even legendary dragons were within my reach!
How could this brainless, triangular, four-winged demon dragon, which had yet to attain legendary status, possibly match me in raw power?
Even though the Abyss Demonic Dragon excels in physical combat!
Under my wanton ferocity, the abyss dragon, despite its extraordinary bloodline, could no longer endure. It let out a deafening roar, and surging abyssal energy erupted from its body, spilling out and covering the surrounding abyssal land for miles. Numerous cracks formed and collapsed.
"Asshole, die!!!"
The triangular four-winged Abyss Dragon opened its mouth, unleashing a torrent of black abyssal breath, over ten meters thick, directly at me.
Seeing this, I grinned, opened my dragon's maw, and spewed forth a five- to six-meter-thick stream of sickly green acidic dragon breath.
The black abyssal breath collided with the green acid breath. The former annihilated, while the latter corroded, both canceling each other out in a chaotic clash.
However, it was clear that the sickly green breath was at a disadvantage, suppressed by the dark abyssal breath, which continued advancing toward me.
My attack had failed.
But this was within my expectations.
Among the Chromatic Dragons, black dragons have the weakest breath in terms of raw power. Meanwhile, the triangular four-winged Abyss Dragon's breath surpasses even that of a red dragon of the same rank. While the triangular four-winged Abyss Dragon is comparable in overall strength to a red dragon of the same level, its physical strength and sheer body size are significantly superior. Its breath attack is directly linked to its physical prowess, body mass, and other factors.
Similarly, if I were not much larger than the Abyss Demonic Dragon and did not possess a stronger dragon body, it would have been impossible to challenge it head-on at my mere sixteenth-order level against its peak nineteenth order. If I had attempted to contest its breath attack with brute force, I would have been at an absolute disadvantage.
Even an extremely old black dragon at the peak of the 19th order would undoubtedly suffer a crushing defeat in a breath-to-breath clash against this Abyss Demonic Dragon.
Seeing that its abyssal breath had overpowered my strange black dragon form, the Abyss Dragon Diaharut felt reassured, a flicker of pleasure flashing through its red, crystal-like dragon pupils.
So, brute force alone wasn't enough to defeat him!
I noticed the demonic dragon's undisguised emotion and quickly responded.
The demonic eye on my forehead suddenly opened, and a 'tiny' black beam, less than half a meter thick, shot toward the demonic dragon at terrifying speed.
Diaharut caught the movement of the black beam, and its jet-black dragon claw moved forward to intercept it, barely blocking the attack as the black light struck.
The destructive beam was momentarily hindered by the abyssal energy coating Diaharut's dragon scales. But then, it pierced through its formidable magical resistance—strong enough to withstand master-level weapons—burrowing deep into its flesh. Finally, it halted against the abyssal keel, a bone tough enough to forge legendary weapons, before collapsing and dissipating.
However, the remnants of the black light spread, causing Diaharut to grimace, its breath faltering slightly. A trace of fear and fury flickered in its dragon eyes.
"How long has it been since I was last wounded? How long?!? Aahhhhhh!!!"
The red, crystal-like dragon eyes flashed with a purple glow as the enraged Diaharut launched a counterattack.
This was the unique spiritual attack of the demonic dragon species. The purple light carried the demon dragon's will and spiritual power.
The demonic eye on my forehead flickered slightly, and I released a chaotic mental shockwave in response.
One mental attack clashed against another, yet they "died together" in a near-perfect stalemate, canceling each other out.
Darkness!
The black dragon's innate spell-like ability activated instantly.
In an instant, Diaharut was stripped of all five senses, completely unable to perceive the outside world. Alarmed, he sensed that something was wrong.
When Diaharut forcibly broke through the darkness effect in an extraordinarily short time, he was met with a dense blast of corrosive green acid.
At such close range, there was no time to react. Diaharut took the full brunt of the attack, the acid striking its enormous, ferocious dragon head.
The sound of corrosion and the cracking of dragon scales echoed simultaneously.
Although my acid breath had been weaker in the earlier exchange, the fact that it could nearly match the abyssal breath in raw power was testament to its terrifying potency.
While the special effects of the breath attack were somewhat lacking compared to the explosive nature of abyssal breath or the intense, searing flames of a red dragon, its destructive power was undeniable.
The demonic dragon, its face seared by the acid like bone erosion, endured the excruciating pain. Letting out a roar, it spread its two pairs of dragon wings and accelerated, turning into a black streak of light as it attempted to escape.
Below, I was slightly startled upon seeing this and felt a hint of displeasure.
"I haven't tested the effects of my psychic powers and martial arts yet!#
The arbitrary Any Door opened, and I shuttled through, intercepting the black light that had transformed into the Abyss Dragon.
Diaharut, who was a little frustrated and tried to run away, saw that the weird black dragon was chasing after him with magic, and his mentality exploded.
"Black Dragon, do you really think I'm afraid of you?! Since you want to die, then I'll help you!!"
The triangular four-winged Abyss Dragon roared wildly, and a massive amount of abyssal energy surged out of its body, forming a layer of hardened pitch-black armor on the surface of its dragon body. The armor was densely covered with spikes and filled with demonic energy.
After finishing shaping the magic armor, the magic dragon lowered his head slightly, pointed the three sky-high curved dragon horns at the black dragon intercepting him in front, and accelerated directly.
"Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?" Are you even speeding up?
"Then come as close as you like. I'll help you speed up too!"
I instinctively threw instant strengthening and accelerating spells on myself. Although they were of little use, they somewhat improved my strength, speed, and physique. I utilized wind control to significantly enhance my speed, which was already considerable due to my acquisition of this ability.
Immediately afterward, the spiritual energy that had accumulated in my body for nearly half a year was attached to my dragon head, mainly to the eight dragon horns.
Lower your head, go, go, go! It's a Sky Bull Charge.
The two black behemoths collided with each other in mid-air. The huge impact caused the air to be squeezed and explode instantly. A mushroom cloud rose with the two sides as the core as shock waves broke apart the grand valley. When the mushroom cloud dissipated a little, two giant beasts were revealed in the smoke.
He saw a large amount of dark purple dragon blood flowing from the black dragon's head. The dragon scales were somewhat broken, and half of the thickest, longest, and hardest of the three domineering dragon horns of the demon dragon was missing. The dragon scales were shattered over a large area, and a large amount of dark purple blood spurted out. It looked very miserable.
I casually wiped the dark purple dragon blood from my head with my dragon claw, put it in the center of my claw, and licked it. My red dragon eyes lit up slightly.
It tastes so good and strong.
I only felt that my dragon throat and stomach were on fire, but due to my terrible digestion ability and the strength of my dragon body, that feeling quickly disappeared.
In fact, not many creatures dare to drink this demonic dragon blood directly into their stomachs without processing it. Even a powerful demon who drank the dragon's blood would probably fall to the ground and roll around wildly, being tortured severely.
But for me, it was just strong dragon blood wine.
"My horn..." Diaharut was stunned.
The broken horn and the violent impact made Diaharut feel a little dizzy at the moment.
In a daze, Diaharut seemed to hear the strange black dragon muttering something.
"Finally, time to experiment with the effects of psychic martial arts."
Diaharut's dragon eyes turned, and he looked at the strange black dragon not far away. He witnessed the skeleton of his opponent creaking, then its hind legs stood upright, and its dragon body transformed into a majestic dragon-man form.
Is this transfiguration?
Diaharut shook his somewhat mushy brain and instinctively repaired the damaged abyss energy armor on his body. The fatal parts were even covered with thick layers of energy armor.
After Diaharut instantly took a defensive posture by instinct, I, having used my spiritual energy to temporarily transform my dragon body into a dragon-human form, finally launched my own attack.
Psychically charged up, my own strength plus explosive power were superimposed, and then I came close to the Abyss Demonic Dragon with lightning speed, aiming at the two remaining dragon horns on its head. The dragon fist, wrapped under the jet-black scales, blasted down hard.
When Diaharut saw this, he did not dodge. Instead, he fiercely raised his dragon head, trying to pierce my dragon fist with his sharp dragon horns.
However, the picture Diaharut imagined did not appear.
He only felt his dragon head shake slightly, and then his entire massive dragon head fell directly to the ground, penetrating dozens of meters into the super hard rock.
On the surface, there was only a thick black dragon tail trembling and twitching behind his dragon butt.
He was punched and knocked unconscious.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but be a little stunned. The Rolling Stone hit so hard at this close range?
One must know that this is an entry-level martial arts skill! 9% off entry level!
If this is the master level, can't it blow the head off an Abyss Dragon with one punch?
I glanced at the two thick demon dragon horns on the ground that were broken by my dragon fist. Obviously, my guess was very likely to come true.
"Are you going to eat it or be a subordinate?"
I looked at the Abyss Dragon with its body buried deep in the ground and hesitated.
First of all, the Abyss Demonic Dragon is not a clan of true dragons. Although it is also a genuine dragon species, it is not essentially of the same clan.
Since they are not from the same clan, they are naturally not subject to the rules and regulations of the dragon clan, so eating them will be fine.
Moreover, I was very sure that after eating this triangular four-winged Abyss Dragon when the feast started, it would bring me a very good strengthening improvement.
The 19th-order Abyss Fire Python could give me the equivalent of half a year's feast-strengthening effect. Even if I am stronger now than before and the strengthening effect is weakened, the strength of this triangular four-winged Abyss Dragon is also close to the legend, much stronger than the Abyss Fire Python. The strength of the demon dragon can easily kill the Abyss Fire Python ten times over.
In addition, the dragon body is so big and has so much meat. At the very least, it has the strengthening effect of a half-year feast, right? This is enough for me to break through the biological order to mid-sixteenth order and possibly even advance to high order.
I thought about it for a while and finally made a decision.
Try to persuade him to surrender first. If I fail to persuade him to surrender, eat him.
The moment Diaharut woke up, he felt that something was wrong with his condition.
He was bound by a thick golden rope into a huge cicada.
Without a moment's hesitation, Diaharut struggled wildly, trying to break the shackles of the golden rope.
However, the golden rope was stretched a lot, but he just couldn't get free.
Just when Diaharut was feeling extremely aggrieved, a kind reminder came from beside him.
"Don't try. This is the web spun by the 'Mimis Demonic Spider' that has reached the 19th order. You can't break free."
It's just a 19th-order monster, and I can't get away from it? What a joke!
Diaharut felt that he had been humiliated and frantically mobilized the abyss energy in his body. However, he soon discovered with a cold heart that the abyss energy that had been easily used in the past was now full of inertia, making it extremely difficult to mobilize.
"Let's see." A joking voice came from the side, and the other party explained in detail,
"The Mimis Demonic Spider is a rare demon spider that is comparable to your Abyss Demonic Dragon. If you are not entangled in its spider silk, you still have a chance to fight it. It is normal to even feel pressure when facing it. But once you are entangled in its spider thread, you can only become a meal on the plate.
The silk of this rare magic spider contains the property of energy failure. Once entangled, spells, spell-like abilities, magic, including abyss energy, etc, become almost impossible to use.
By the way, this spider silk cost me half of my treasure—well, half of the treasure I accumulated in the past two years.
Why did I buy it? Of course, I bought it for you."
