Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144 Killing the Giant Beast
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Yu raised the Star Piercing Demonic Sword, intent on opening another portal and continuing his a.s.sault on the Giant Crag Dragon. Persistent damage would undoubtedly secure victory.
With a flourish of his blade, a rift materialized before him. A thick bolt of lightning erupted from the portal, striking the Giant Crag Dragon with a resounding boom.
The effect was significant. Despite its immense size, the creature wasn’t immune to electricity. The current coursed through its body, halting its advance and momentarily sapping its energy.
Lu Yu understood that while the lightning could impede the beast, inflicting substantial damage remained a challenge. The Giant Crag Dragon, now burdened by the Void Serpent and facing Lu Yu’s relentless attacks, was demonstrably under pressure.
Any other dragon would likely have succ.u.mbed before the Void Serpent sustained significant injury.
Lu Yu raised his sword, preparing to unleash another barrage of attacks.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Giant Crag Dragon rolled sideways and crashed to the ground. It then began to roll around, kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
Through the swirling dust, Lu Yu could vaguely discern rocks erupting from the gaps in the creature’s armor, forming sharp spikes that pierced towards the Void Serpent.
The serpent, already suffering from the rock spikes and the Crag Dragon’s continuous rolling, was severely wounded. Despite its immense size, it gaped its mouth wide, still firmly clamped onto the Giant Crag Dragon.
Lu Yu recognized the gravity of the situation. This creature possessed the ability to counterattack the Void Serpent. While its defense-oriented retaliation was peculiar, it undeniably posed a significant challenge.
He shook his head slightly. “Prolonging this is unwise. I’ll be approaching Jasper City soon. If I get too close, they’ll witness my fighting style.”
Lu Yu still preferred to keep his abilities and the number of dragons he possessed under wraps.
“Only the Death Spirit Dragon can handle this.”
At that moment, the faint voice of the Death Spirit Dragon echoed in Lu Yu’s mind. “Master, you should have called upon me much earlier. I should be the one to deal with this creature, no one else.”
“What about me?” The Nightmare Dragon interjected.
“What use are you? All you can do is give him nightmares.”
“Don’t be so harsh. I have my own methods.”
“Enough chatter, Master. Let me out. I want to kill that thing. It’s ma.s.sive, enough for a full meal!”
Lu Yu lowered his weapons. “Very well, it seems you’ll have to handle this.”
Meanwhile, on the walls of Jasper City, a group of soldiers intently observed the distant battle.
“This is intense! They’re locked in a stalemate.”
“If that creature charges, our city walls will crumble. We’ll have to escape on our wyverns!”
“No need to rush. The higher-ups instructed us to remain here. The external threat will be dealt with.”
“Really? That person in the air?”
Everyone could vaguely make out a small black dot in the sky—Lu Yu.
To the soldiers on the city walls, Lu Yu’s methods against the behemoth remained a mystery. Even the ma.s.sive python he summoned proved no match for it.
Undeterred, Lu Yu summoned the Death Spirit Dragon.
Swoosh!
A beam of light shot skyward, followed by the colossal form of the Death Spirit Dragon descending. Its pitch-black body, immense musculature, and scales resembling long swords exuded an aura of immense power. Its dark green eyes locked onto the Giant Crag Dragon below.
“Roar!”
With a thunderous roar, the Death Spirit Dragon unleashed a torrent of green fireb.a.l.l.s.
Boom!
The Giant Crag Dragon was engulfed in flames, its body consumed by the deadly fire. As the flames continued to burn, the Void Serpent retreated back to the Void World.
The Giant Crag Dragon, now completely immobilized, began a desperate thrashing, rolling on the ground and kicking up dust. The relentless fireb.a.l.l.s continued to rain down, relentlessly bathing its body in the flames of death.
The creature was in agony, its roars filled with pain and despair. Its struggles were futile, however.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but chuckle. “Finally injured, eh? Took quite a bit of effort.”
He sighed. This creature’s sheer size and formidable defense presented a significant challenge. Without the Death Spirit Dragon, victory would have been far from a.s.sured.
Of course, Lu Yu possessed the Undead Dragon Claw, allowing him to personally deal with the beast. However, doing so would have significantly reduced the impact.
The mountain-like Giant Crag Dragon continued its frantic rolling, its once-imposing scales and thick armor shattering.
Blood gushed forth from its wounds, forming a crimson pool that stained the ground, and the air thick with the metallic scent of blood.
The creature’s eyes dulled, its imposing aura replaced by profound despair and helplessness.
Gradually, its movements ceased, and it closed its eyes, finally succ.u.mbing to the pain.
“Master, the enemy is dead. I’m going to feast!”
Lu Yu nodded. “Go ahead, eat your fill.”
“What about us?” The Nightmare Dragon interjected. “We’re all hungry!”
“If you want to eat, just say so. Why the theatrics?”
“True, I can simply talk to the Fire Spirit Dragon, Water Spirit Dragon, and Poison Dragon. They’re all famished.”
“No, I can’t have all of you out! If others see you, wouldn’t they discover my background?”
“Don’t be impatient. I’ll take you to a proper feast when we have the time. But not now.”
“Alright then, remember that,” the Nightmare Dragon conceded.
“Don’t worry, of course I will. I had no choice this time. Honestly, I didn’t want the Death Spirit Dragon to appear. Once others learn I’ve tamed the Death Spirit Dragon, they’ll undoubtedly start researching ways to counter it.”
“Anyways, let’s leave it at that. This matter is settled. We’ll return once the Death Spirit Dragon finishes its meal.”
