Chapter 76 - The Strongest Creature
Chapter 76: The Strongest Creature
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shi Yu looked at the creature in front of him with a complicated mood.
The strong body of the creature in front of him seemed to be made of ice and stone. The color was ice-blue and dark purple, as if it represented extreme cold.
Not only its body, its neck, head, long tail, sharp claws, and fangs, its four strong and powerful feet, as well as its pair of wings, were all made of ice and stone. Its scales revealed coldness, and there was wind and snow lingering around it. As expected of the Ice Dragon.
A great roar boomed!
In the distance, the ice dragon that had just formed roared and flapped its wings.
During the roar, Ice Dragon glanced over with its deep eyes. Its little ice-blue beard fluttered in the wind, looking majestic.
But the problem was…
“So damn small.”
Shi Yu looked at the two-meter-tall “dragon” and felt that he had accidentally entered the alternate Pokémon world.
A dragon… Even if your title is loud and your appearance is domineering, if your body can’t keep up, it still seems to be lacking.
The King of Beasts, Tiger, is fierce, right? But what’s the difference between a tiny tiger and a cat!
After careful observation, Shi Yu judged from its size that it was clearly a shrunken Ice Dragon.
This was because there was almost no orthodox dragon less than ten meters tall. Its size was supposed to be quite spectacular. Just its physical strength alone could kill many creatures without any skills!
There was naturally a reason why the name of the strongest race was on them.
“This guy is still an illusion!”
In an instant, Shi Yu made the judgment that this ice dragon was not a real life form because his telepathy was useless!
Just like the creatures in the previous five levels, they were illusions condensed from ice elemental energy!
No… It was still a little different. Although this ice dragon wasn’t a life form, the feeling it gave Shi Yu was very real. There was an indescribably strange feeling.
Regardless of what it was, there was no time for Shi Yu to determine at this moment. This was because the guardian of the sixth level seemed to be this fellow.
At this moment, Ice Dragon had already released its strong dragon might at Eleven!!!
The dragon’s might that was like a cold wind was not weaker than the deterrence skill at all. It was a deterrence ability unique to the dragons!!

“Roar!!!!”
Under the dragon roar, the ice dragon emitted a shocking aura wave. The substantial aura seemed to have turned into ice and snow, freezing the air.
Shi Yu’s heart thumped. While he felt that it was dangerous, he couldn’t bear to look away from this beautiful creature.
“Wuu!!!”
At this moment, in the face of this terrifying dragon might, Eleven stood in front of Shi Yu and used all its aura to deal with the dragon’s might head-on. With a boom, the two auras seemed to make space collide, wrapping the entire icy plain in the impact of this aura!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Under the collision of the two auras, it was very surprising that the mutated version of the deterrence skill, Dragon Might, actually lost to the deterrence of the Panda King. It showed a hint of the dragon itself almost being suppressed!
“It’s winnable!”
At this moment, Shi Yu shouted.
Although it was a dragon, the strength of this illusory ice dragon was limited to a certain extent, just like the previous monsters!
Facing Eleven, whose skill attributes were ridiculous, it might not have much advantage!
[Name]: Ice Dragon (Illusion)
[Attributes]: Dragon, Ice
[Race Level]:???
[Level of Growth]: Level 10 Awakening
[Skills:???]
So, this ruin was using the illusion of the Ice Dragon on the snow mountain to test its clansmen?
Smart!
Shi Yu’s gaze became excited. Sensing Shi Yu’s inner thoughts, Little Iron Eating Beast Eleven also looked at its opponent excitedly and fiercely.
“Wuu!!!”
This was a dragon!!
It was known as the strongest creature in nature.
As long as it was a slightly orthodox dragon, its race level was no lower than that of a monarch. It was basically an overlord race. Among Mythical creatures, dragons were also the ones that were most legendary!
Even if it was a sub-dragon, it was not rare for its species level to be above that of a monarch. One could imagine how superior this species was!
At this moment, Eleven’s blood boiled, and it had the intention to tear the dragon apart.
If it couldn’t bully a true dragon, he should be able to bully a fake one, right?
At that moment, Eleven’s aura completely suppressed the Ice Dragon, and its aura was suppressed. The Ice Dragon roared and flapped its wings!!
“Roar!!!”
During the process of the Ice Dragon flying over, it raised its dragon claws. There was frost and cold air lingering on them. It used the most basic Ice Rending Claw skill of the ice-type skills.
“Wuu!!”
Eleven rushed over at this moment and bent its arm backward. Metal matter first filled his palm, and then lightning-like blue and white lightning wrapped around it, forming the sharpest lightning spear.
Zizizizizi!!!
A combination skill of Perfect Level Hardening and Perfect Level Thunder Palm!
As for the Ice Dragon, it only used a single mid-level skill, Ice Rending Claw!
Because of its super dynamic vision, Eleven could clearly see the enemy’s movements. At the moment when the two were about to collide on the icy plain, Eleven dodged the Ice Rending Claw at the critical moment and made the Ice Dragon tear the air. Its Hardened Thunder Palm ruthlessly penetrated the Ice Dragon’s body!!
“Roar!!!!”
Shi Yu and Eleven were waiting for Ice Dragon to roar in pain, but what happened next stunned them.
Shi Yu and the others had spent half a month to complete the Perfect Level Hardening and the Perfect Level Thunder Palm super combination skill. The combination skill was only one stage away from the profundity domain. When it penetrated the dragon scale of the ice dragon, there were actually only extremely minute traces of marks. The ice dragon seemed to be fine as it directly resisted with its body.
At this moment, Eleven could feel its Perfect Level Hardening disintegrating. It was as if its Perfect Level Hardening skill wasn’t as strong as this ice dragon’s pure physical strength.
Apart from that, the lightning that should have spread all over the ice dragon’s body was instantly frozen by the cold air flowing in the cracked dragon scales the moment it hit the ice dragon.
The cold air spread and even started to corrode Eleven’s arm!
Eleven: w(゚Д゚)w!!!
Eleven, who had always had a smooth battle, had never seen such a situation and was instantly shocked.
“WDNMD!!!” As a Beast Tamer, Shi Yu was also stunned. He had never expected this situation.

This was too unscientific!
Usually, it was others who assessed Shi Yu and Eleven. This time, Shi Yu wanted to say it himself.
Was this a level-10 awakening beast?
Boom!!!
The confrontation just now, as well as Eleven and Shi Yu’s mental processes, happened in an instant. Although Eleven relied on its super vision to dodge an Ice Rending Claw from the Ice Dragon illusion, Eleven, whose arm was frozen and whose reaction speed had decreased due to the lingering cold air, couldn’t dodge the second attack at all!
However, although it couldn’t dodge the attack, in the extremely dangerous situation… It still successfully relied on the hardening and high-speed flowing nature to quickly cover its whole body to receive the next attack from the Ice Dragon.
The dragon’s tail swept across. It wasn’t a skill, but a sweep with its physical strength. It directly sent Eleven, whose whole body had hardened, flying more than ten meters away.
During the process of flying backwards, Eleven was forced out of the hardening state due to the huge impact. He was directly beaten back to his normal state and was slammed onto the ground. It rolled for a long time before stopping.
At this moment, although he didn’t know the exact racial level of the Ice Dragon, Shi Yu finally understood why dragons were called the strongest creatures.
In a situation where they were almost at the same level, this ice dragon seemed to be able to suppress Eleven with its terrifying physique without using any skills…
“Sob, sob, sob.”
At this moment, although Eleven was suppressed, Eleven wasn’t that weak.
Hardening still successfully helped it neutralize this attack. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time for Eleven to concentrate all the hardening substances at the affected area. Otherwise, it might not have needed to be injured when facing this attack.
Eleven quickly crawled up. Its light injuries healed instantly under the high-speed healing. It looked at Ice Dragon fiercely again.
Not convinced.
Eleven was extremely unconvinced.
Not only that, even Shi Yu was very unhappy.
The Panda King that he had worked so hard to nurture was actually destroyed by an ice dragon. Oh, wait, an ice dragon illusion! And without using any skills?
He clearly had the upper hand in the deterrence battle just now…
Even a level-10 overlord cub couldn’t be this powerful!
As for whether the Ice Dragon was a Mythical creature, there was no need to think about it. It was impossible. During the historical period, Mythical creatures had long been lost.
“Eleven, under normal circumstances, we don’t seem to be able to defeat it.”
“I can only bet everything on this.”
“If we can’t win, we can only slip away. We’ll come back after adding some points.”
Faced with this scene, Shi Yu immediately judged that he couldn’t use normal battle methods.
Eleven also seemed to understand the Beast Tamer’s meaning and nodded heavily.
“Roar!!!!”
In the next second, the dragon turned around and locked its gaze on Eleven. A terrifying cold aura condensed in its mouth!
It was another basic ice skill!
As the strongest creature, the dragon race, it was impossible for the Ice Dragon to not have mastered high-level and super skills. However, at the moment, it had only used low-level and intermediate-level skills, but it gave Shi Yu and the others a lot of pressure, giving them a headache.
Sorry, daddy dragon, I shouldn’t have mocked your small size just now. This concentrated essence…
However!
Swoosh!!!
The cold aura condensed like ice light shot towards Eleven. After freezing everything in its path, Eleven quickly rolled and hid. Its goal was to get close.
With the support of its super vision, it was relatively easy to dodge the skill. Soon, it arrived near the Ice Dragon.
At this moment, the Ice Dragon canceled its cold breath and flapped its wings, waving its Ice Rending Claw at Eleven again!
“Wuu!!!”
On the ground, Eleven looked at Ice Dragon fiercely. With a hum, its body quickly expanded to eight to nine meters tall. At the same time, an even more shocking deterrence was emitted. This change directly stunned Ice Dragon and made its movements slow down.
This hesitation was the key to deciding the winner.
The huge Iron-eating Beast, Eleven, raised the Hardening that was completely focused and strengthened. It formed a combination skill with the most powerful Thunder Palm and directly smashed this attack that consumed all its physical strength!
Expert Level Deterrence Control+Expert Level multiplication output+Perfect Level Hardening Output+Expert Level Thunder Palm Output!
1
This attack was Eleven’s current limit. With all the power gathered in its palm, this smash instantly became a super sure-kill that could penetrate everything!
Boom!!!
Under the circumstances where Shi Yu and Eleven’s hearts were raised to the extreme, no accident happened this time. Ice Dragon’s defense was finally broken through by Eleven’s attack. Its entire body was directly sliced into two by this huge hardening Thunder Palm combination skill!
It really tore apart a dragon with its bare hands!
Plop!
After completing this attack, Eleven, like a leak, quickly shrank from the enlarged state to a floppy state of more than ten centimeters.
The pocket-sized Eleven sat on the frozen ground and panted as it looked at the disappearing dragon illusion in front of it. It felt ridiculous.
So powerful…
The dragon was really powerful…
Eleven couldn’t help but clench its hand. Its hard work was still not enough. In the future, it would use the dragon as a reference!
When it trained its body to the point where it didn’t need to use skills to be on equal fighting ground to a dragon, it would then consider itself to have passed the initial stage!
Before Eleven could finish swearing, it suddenly discovered that something seemed to have appeared under the disappearing Ice Dragon Phantom.
“Are you alright, Eleven?”
At this moment, Shi Yu also ran over quickly. He was also panting. His body was still weak. His mental fortitude as a Beast Tamer was not good. The battle just now had completely frightened him nervously. He was afraid that Eleven would lose.
Was this thing in the sixth level of the ruins really meant to be cleared?
If it weren’t for the fact that Eleven had a wealth of skills, he would probably have been tortured to death if he had even one less skill to use.
“Sob.” Eleven shook its head to indicate that it was fine. It weakly pointed ahead and quickly let Shi Yu see what it was.
“I almost forgot.” Only then did Shi Yu remember that there seemed to be a reward for passing the round!
After throwing Eleven some recovery food, he immediately walked forward and looked under the disappearing Ice Dragon Phantom. Then, he fell silent.
On the broken icy plain ground, a thin ice-blue hair that looked like the whiskers of an ice dragon was lying there quietly.
“This is… Ice Dragon’s hair?” Shi Yu was stunned.
He took out a glove and some necessary tools from his backpack and gently picked up the hair. Nothing unusual happened.
After observing for a while, he silently put away this supreme-grade material.
Apart from that, there was also a shell.
A gray stone bead was placed in the shell.
Shi Yu hesitated for a moment before reaching his hand out to the shell.
However, the shell was like an illusion as it directly penetrated the glove and even Shi Yu’s hand.
In the next second, the shell illusion gradually dissipated, and the stone bead fell to the ground.
F*ck, what’s going on?
Following that, Shi Yu did not pick up the stone bead. Instead, he was slightly stunned on the spot.
That was because when his body didn’t know if he had touched the shell illusion just now, his skill index talent did. “It reminded” him.
After a long time, Shi Yu [Confirmed].
The five new pages were completely full.
On the tenth page of the illustrated handbook, the image of a shell-type creature [Overlord Level: Fantasy Bead] appeared.
Below was a pile of words.
