The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

THIS skill, [Dragon's Flame], could only be used once a day because it had a cooldown of 24 hours.  And it also could only use when Xia Lei was in this beast form.  Because the skill was too OP.  The higher he leveled up, the more powerful it became.  It could easily obliterate anyone or anything on its wake.  That's why he only used it when there wasn't really any choice left for him. 

And the situation he was in right now really called for this skill. 

The golden flame that came out of his maw was as brilliant and hot as the sun.  Because of the buff given to him by the Angel who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, this attack became even more powerful.

With the addition of the elemental skills bombarding the kraken, the kraken simply burst into flames.  And its pained howl echoed throughout the vast ocean. 

At the side of the ship, the players who participated in slicing the tentacles also had finished their part.  All the kraken's tentacles were now cut off.  So, they had time to look at the burning monster. 

It was like a huge bonfire was lit at the middle of the sea.  Because of the size of the kraken, they could see how it was slowly turning into ashes.  Even its howl turned more and more painful as seconds passed by. 

But to the players on deck, the kraken's painful howl was like music to their ears.  Because the more the kraken suffered, it meant that they were closer to the end of this trial.

The golden flame slowly subsided.  The moment it completely died out, the kraken turned into a toasted squid.  Then the squid slowly disintegrated and turned into light particles.  It meant that the kraken was finally defeated.

The players on the ship cheered almost instantly. 

The Mages on the deck breathed out a sigh of relief because almost all of them were losing MP.  If the kraken wasn't defeated at this time, their Mana would truly run out.

Ying Chen almost stumbled back when he put back his staff on his Items Tab.  But someone supported his shoulders.  When he raised his head, he saw Liang Sen. 

"You okay?" the other asked while looking down at him with a worried gaze.

Ying Chen uncomfortably moved away.  He, Liang Sen, and Huang Wen were childhood friends.  He had long known about his sexual orientation way before they graduated middle school. 

He confessed that to Liang Sen because it's really hard for him not to talk about it to anyone.  Bottling something like that inside and trying to appear 'normal' in front of everyone was just so freaking hard.  The closest friends he had who he could talk to were Liang Sen and Huang Wen.  But at the end, he could only talk about it to Liang Sen. 

He could never tell the truth about him being gay to Huang Wen.  Because the other was the reason why he realized that he was one in the first place.  Yes, that's right.  He liked Huang Wen.  The moment he realized that fact, he knew he could never be what people considered as 'normal' ever again.

And Liang Sen was the only one he could talk these things about.  But because of that, the other just became overly brotherly towards him.  As if he should help him every time he had his mood swings.  The hiding and all and the fact that he couldn't even tell Huang Wen his feelings were making his mood swings worse and worse over the years.  Sometimes it's fine but sometimes it's just uncomfortable.   

He would sometimes look at him with this worried gaze as if he's porcelain or something.  It's irritating.  But he knew that it was just Liang Sen's way of showing that he cared about him.  That's why he could never bring himself to truly be angry with him. 

"I'm fine," he could only say. 

He looked up and saw that the golden dragon was already flying back to the ship.  Almost all the players on the deck were also looking at the dragon. 

Everyone here could agree that this dragon would get the 'MVP' award this round.  But unlike the mermaid trial, none of them had any opinion about it.  Probably because just like he said earlier, he was strong enough that even without the reward, he would still would end up at the tournament round of the Rookie Carnival.

Luo Yan stared at the golden dragon.  He must admit that this one really looked mighty and powerful.  But in his opinion, Shen Ji Yun's Qilin beast form was better.  The dark purple Qilin was more beautiful compared to this golden dragon.  But he must admit, he's kind of excited to fight this guy.

"Do all players who have Legendary race can transform into their beast form?" he heard Luo Jin asking.

"I guess.  I mean, it would be kind of unfair if some of them could and some of them couldn't," Luo Yan said.  "Do you think you can win against that?" he asked, pointing at the dragon.

Luo Jin scoffed.  "No matter how big he is, I know I can hold my own against him."

Luo Yan grinned.  The fact that Luo Jin didn't outright say that he could win meant that he was also thinking of fighting the dragon. 

When the dragon was near the ship, it was surrounded by golden smoke.  And the golden-haired man appeared and landed on the deck.  Soon, the Angel also descended beside the golden-haired man.

Xia Lei nodded at the Angel.  "I appreciate the buffs."

Lan Yu smiled like a holy father.  But inside, he wanted to raise his middle finger and shout, 'I didn't do it for you, you shit'.  But what came out of his mouth was, "It's nothing.  I just did my part."

Then the ship was suddenly surrounded by a glowing light and everything that was destroyed by the kraken was suddenly fixed.  As if nothing happened at all.

Captain Roger's voice suddenly spoke.  As usual, it came from the highest point of the ship.

"Congratulations on surviving this far, you lot!  Now the remaining 1,112 of you obtained the right to enter Four-Seasons Island!"
