Chapter 189: Vol2 Ch87: Hunting and killing
After [Order Collapse], [Super Plague] would have manifested, but the plague of the New Deity’s power had been in effect since a while ago, and Lan Shan had constantly been using her Authority to retaliate against it following Negary’s orders.
Negary didn’t care too much about the invasion disasters and the Authorities that held them back, instead, he was heading towards a dragon who was ravaging the land by melting everything into magma.
〖 Who would’ve thought, the Dragon Slayer achievement that I failed to accomplish in the Flame World would be completed here? 〗
Negary swiftly made his way forward, the temperature around him rapidly rising, magma flowing all over the place as the growling of the dragon resounded in the air.
『 This presence, are you that traitorous descendant? 』the dragon that was circling in the sky noticed Negary and questioned with a loud roar. The smell of sulfur from the dragon’s mouth filled this entire area, so much that Negary wouldn’t be surprised if a single spark caused everything to spontaneously ignite.
The words he spoke were similar to [Dracotongue], but was unlike Negary’s [Dracotongue] which contained power in every syllable. Perhaps this was the dragon’s language for everyday communication, essentially an ancient Interkam dialect.
Considering its origin, Negary was still able to understand it somewhat.
『 Pledge your allegiance to the Burning Crusade, use your Authority and open the door to this world, only then would the Ancestor forgive your sin! 』the dragon slowly descended on top of a mountain and threatened him.
〖 Do you know Versace? 〗Negary didn’t respond to the dragon’s threat, but instead asked this question. Versace was the last pure-blooded Dragon in the Flame world who died at the end of the third empire. His death represented the fact that the Dragon race’s power could no longer lord over the Flame world.
『 That fool, Versace…』a wave of nostalgia washed over the dragon as he heard that distant but familiar name.
When we left the Flame world under the guidance of the Ancestor, there were a few dragons who refused to leave. All of them had their own reasons, but the most foolish one was Versace, who fell in love with a human.
『 From the looks of it, you must be the descendant of one of those fools? 』compared to the Divine race’s chaotic relations and nature, the Dragon race placed very heavy emphasis on their bloodline, so the dragon’s tone subconsciously grew softer.
〖 Not at all…〗Negary’s answer suggested that he had more to say.
『 Then why did you mention him…. 』the dragon was taken in by Negary’s words and couldn’t help but question, only to see Negary’s body rapidly growing bigger.
His clothes exploded, his skin started to grow scales, the masses of muscles bulging and writhing all over his body. Almost instantly, an eerie three-headed dragon had manifested itself in front of the dragon, exuding a foreign presence that struck fear into the dragon’s mind.
He was led around by Negary’s words. After all, he had left his home behind, so when he ran into someone that might have been his kinsman who mentioned an old friend’s name, he couldn’t help but feel a bit distracted, curious about the current state of his home and his old friend.
And the result of that was Negary immediately morphing into his dragon form, utilizing the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority on this dragon. The dragon felt his powers becoming completely stuck, unable to move a single bit, and this all happened in a brief moment where he let his guard down.
Negary’s Dragon of Eternal Sin form pounced forward, the three jaws on his chest opened up to chomp down on the dragon’s large head, while Negary’s three heads bit down on his body, ripping piece after piece of flesh from it.
The dragon’s body was trembling nonstop, partly due to anger, by being deceived by this descendant, he lost the initiative in just a moment of lapsed concentration, the other part was due to fear.
The Dragon of Eternal Sin didn’t only have the ‘error’ property, its name came from the other meaning that it represented: the sin of the Dragon race who betrayed the Flame world.
The betrayal of the Dragon race led to the Flame world’s rules and laws becoming flawed, resulting in the birth of Evil Spirits, this was the sin of the Dragons. When Negary manifested the Dragon of Eternal Sin form, he also manifested this sin.
Compared to the ‘error’ property, the ‘sin’ property didn’t have a lot of uses, so Negary didn’t bother to pay attention to this bit of sin. Who would’ve thought that when he attacked this dragon, the ‘sin’ would fully manifest itself?
While Negary bit and ripped the dragon apart, this ‘sin’ became the sharpest knife, rousing fear from the dragon’s heart, meanwhile, some bright red flames were also starting to burn from the dragon’s body.
The blood-red flames scorched the dragon, causing him to writhe and struggle in pain, only to find that it did him no good whatsoever.
Negary’s body twisted, the three jaws in his chest crunched down to rip the dragon’s head away from his body, the hands from inside the Dragon of Eternal Sin’s chest grabbed the pieces of the dragon’s severed head and pulled it into Negary’s chest.
At the same time, the blood-red flames were attracted by Negary and were absorbed into Negary’s Dragon of Eternal Sin form. This was the representation of the Dragon race’s sin, as well as the best weapon to be used against them.
However, even as his head was severed, the dragon didn’t die, instead, he used this opportunity to escape from Negary’s chokehold.
He immediately exerted his [Dragon’s Pressure], the fleshy bits at his neck writhed and moved as large numbers of tentacle-like tissues weaved together, trying to grow back another head. His dragon wings were flapping like mad, ignoring the various wounds that Negary caused all over his body while trying to flee.
Negary swung his tail, the tentacles at the tip coiled around the dragon’s tail, the teeth at the tentacles’ tips bit into the dragon’s flesh, transferring Disasforce into his body.
The dragon continued to struggle, trying to use his massive vitality and strength to escape from Negary’s restraints.
However, losing the first initiative meant losing the entire match. The dragon couldn’t retaliate from a passive position, his every means was completely countered by Negary, even though he managed to explosively exert his potential at death’s door, that only served to delay the inevitable.
Blood was still gushing out from the wound at the dragon’s neck, the golden liquid had practically dyed the entire mountain in a golden color, the golden dragon’s blood let out a strange smell as it seeped into the dirt and rocks where they fought.
The two giant creatures continued to wrestle with one another, rolling down the mountain as their bodies destroyed its landscape.
The Dragon gradually became limp, all signs of life slowly disappearing from its giant body, blood poured out like a golden spring from where the dragon’s neck was severed. Negary, however, still didn’t let his guard down and continued to pour his Disasforce into the dragon’s body, destroying it bit by bit.
It was only after the dragon had practically turned into a mass of pulpy flesh that he slowly stopped, if he had allowed the Disasforce to ravage it any further, this mass of flesh and blood would lose the research values it held.
Negary’s chest was now bulging as the dragon’s severed head was inside, countless tentacles invaded it from the inside, studying the information inside the dragon’s blood.
His tail lifted the dragon’s body up, but as he looked at the blood splattered all over the ground, Negary noticed something amiss. His Disasforce then surged forward again to destroy every last bit of blood-soaked dirt.
It was only after Negary had plowed the mountain to barren dirt did he stop: 〖 The volume of blood is wrong. That one’s ability was most likely related to blood, after losing the initiative, he decisively left his body behind and used his blood to escape 〗
〖 How resolute, let’s hope that you will be able to escape with your life! 〗Negary turned around and left. The commotion from that battle just now was considerably great, which would soon attract the attention of other enemies.
