Chapter 456 That was my great achievement of reaching LV.9
It's not just people all over the world.
Even the most powerful adventurers in Orario turned pale when they saw the real black dragon; they had never seen such a terrifying monster.
The immortal dragon that the filthy immortal spirit was imitating was utterly insignificant compared to the black dragon.
The Hall of Twilight.
When Ais's gaze pierced through the divine mirror and locked onto the black dragon, her usually aloof and beautiful face showed intense emotional fluctuations. Her delicate features were twisted into an almost ferocious expression as vague memories surfaced in her mind and a deep-seated hatred erupted.
"I'm going to kill it—!!!"
A piercing scream, filled with hatred and almost tearing her vocal cords apart, burst forth from Ais's tightly clenched silver teeth!
Before the words were even finished!
A violent vortex of wind erupted around Ais, her bright golden hair danced wildly, like a ferocious beast that had lost its mind, rushing headlong toward the north.
Loki shouted, "Grab her now!"
Finn, Riveria, Grace, and the others seemed to have foreseen this would happen, and in an instant, they sprang into action, forming a tight net to surround Ais.
Precise, swift, and perfectly coordinated!
Finn's golden spear deflected Ais's sword like a serpent, and Grace gently struck Ais in the abdomen, knocking her back. Riveria opened her arms and hugged Ais tightly, locking her hands in place.
"Ughhhh!! Let me go!!"
Ais, who was forcibly held down, let out a fierce roar like a wild beast and struggled frantically. Her bound limbs burst out with terrifying power, and her violent magic went out of control, turning into a whirlwind that crashed wildly around her.
But they couldn't withstand the onslaught of three LV7 adventurers!
If Ais uses the skill "Revenge Princess" now, her attack will be amplified to an unprecedented level, but she cannot use it to harm her allies.
"Waaaaaah!"
With the target of her revenge—the Black Dragon—right before her, yet unable to fight, Ais's eyes welled with crystal-clear tears as she wept like a helpless girl.
Loki, Finn, Riveria, Grace, and the others could only sigh as they watched Ais suffer.
The moment they saw the black dragon, they understood!
Aside from Roy, who possesses spatial magic, anyone who challenges that dragon now will surely die, including Ais; they cannot simply watch their opponent perish!
The reactions around the world were exactly as the gods had predicted.
The extreme fear of the black dragon will eventually turn into the determination to defeat it. Faced with the external conflict of the world-ending crisis, all countries and all forces will temporarily put aside their differences and unite as one.
Now it depends on Roy and Alphia's efforts to obtain as much information as possible about the Black Dragon.
This battle was being watched by people all over the world.
"Disappeared—"
Alphia's dazzling heterochromatic eyes reflected the black dragon's massive body; the wounds she and her companions had inflicted on it had completely disappeared.
Or rather, it was fixed by the other party!
"Just how powerful is the great hero Albert? I even wanted to blind this guy's left eye too!" Alphia said calmly, the only scar on the black dragon's body being the one on its right eye, which had been etched there for a long time.
Roy, standing next to Alphia, replied, "Times have changed, there's no point in comparing them."
Those ancient heroes received help from the immortals, and their relationship was somewhat similar to his and Liu's synchronization contract. They shared abilities and were able to gain extremely powerful strength in an instant. After honing their combat skills, they leaped to become the world's top powerhouses.
Adventurers in the Age of Gods received "divine grace," which allowed them to continuously elevate their capacity.
Both methods of enhancing strength have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Sharing abilities with the fairies shortens the development time and makes it easier to become a strong person, provided that you are chosen by the fairies. This is the ultimate form of individual heroism, and such people are one in a million, destined to be a minority among the minority.
"God's Grace" is something everyone can obtain, with a higher potential, but it is difficult to upgrade and has a long development cycle. The gods spent thousands of years cultivating a LV.9 empress, who was then crushed by the black dragon. However, the wounds that Albert inflicted on the black dragon can last for thousands of years.
"You mean I'm inferior to those old-fashioned people?"
"How am I supposed to respond when you say that?"
"And isn't that the truth?"
"Hmph, I don't mind fighting you first before I beat this hateful black dragon to a pulp!"
The two stood before the black dragon, chatting and laughing, leaving those who witnessed this scene through the divine mirror speechless.
The black dragon's imposing aura couldn't frighten Alphia, this witch who was prepared to die. The moment Roy saw the black dragon, his "Adventure" ability was activated, boosting all his stats, including his resistance to mental pollution.
Moreover, the black dragon is not so easy to awaken.
Zeus and Hera's retinue launched a collective attack, giving the opponent a sound beating before finally waking them up.
The result was brutal. Despite having the first-mover advantage and pouring a lot of damage into the black dragon at the start, the two clans failed to take advantage of the opportunity to kill it.
If the black dragon were to fully awaken, even Roy and Alphia's combined strength would likely be insufficient to handle it.
But as Murphy's Law suggests, what you fear most is what will happen. The black dragon, lying in the center of the deep valley, twitched its eyelids, its breathing became uneven, and it showed faint signs of awakening, its oppressive aura rapidly increasing.
"Um?
"6
Roy and Alphia frowned, their eyes simultaneously fixed on the black dragon. What had happened? The black dragon's slumber was due to its right eye's dormancy, reducing energy consumption, and the influence of the fairy storm.
After annihilating the two major clans, the Black Dragon did not break the seal but continued to hibernate.
Under normal circumstances, the other party will not wake up easily!
boom!!
Under the watchful eyes of Roy, Alphia, and countless others around the world, the sleeping world-destroying black dragon raised its eyelids and slowly opened its eyes.
His left eye was a vertical pupil of molten gold, while his right eye was a murky and deathly white, as if shrouded in a shadow that would never dissipate, making it impossible to focus.
Seeing this, Roy secretly breathed a sigh of relief; a black dragon with both eyes intact was far beyond their ability to contend with.
hum!
It was as if the slumbering abyss itself had awakened, almost the instant the black dragon opened its eyes!
A terrifying aura, capable of crushing everything in the world and freezing souls, suddenly erupted! Centered on the black dragon, the space itself groaned under its unbearable weight.
Pfft!Pfft!
Facing the source of this aura, Roy and Alphia felt as if their hearts had been struck by an invisible heavy blow, and they felt suffocated. The bones in their bodies emitted a faint groan, and the ground beneath their feet cracked instantly!
As the black dragon awoke, the dragon monsters surrounding its mountain-like body, no matter how powerful their potential or how ferocious their aura, LV.8, LV.9—all instantly let out mournful howls, stemming from the deepest fear and awe in their souls.
The dragon monsters, their heads held high, bowed humbly, their bodies buried deep in the cracked earth.
As if transformed into a submissive servant, they offered absolute submission to the black dragon king who brought about the end.
"I'm awake! I'm awake!!!"
The billions of beings who witnessed this scene through the divine mirror—gods, rulers of nations, adventurers, and the common people—felt as if plunged into an ice cave, every pore of their skin trembling with fear.
After the black dragon awoke, the heavy pressure it exuded was hundreds or even thousands of times greater than before, and the sense of despair it brought seemed to turn into a mountain pressing down on everyone's heads.
Why?
The gods all knew more or less about the black dragon, and when they saw it suddenly awaken, they all exclaimed in surprise, except for a few gods who seemed to be deep in thought.
"He woke up so quickly. Did he sense the fluctuations of divine power? Or is it—" Hermes murmured, following the black dragon's gaze to look at the boy.
The black dragon's massive head turned slightly, its golden vertical pupils, brimming with boundless pressure and icy killing intent, piercing through the barriers of space as it stared at Roy.
"Is the target me?" Roy frowned.
To everyone's astonishment, the black dragon did not immediately launch a devastating attack as expected.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The black dragon's mountain-like body moved slowly forward in the suffocating silence. Each time its massive feet, covered in thick black scales, landed, the earth shook and groaned.
Roy stared intently at the black dragon, pushing his "Intuition" skill to its limit, entering a state of precognition, his nerves on edge, ready to react at any moment.
"What's going on?" Alphia frowned as well. This didn't happen when they were fighting the black dragon, so it was definitely abnormal!
"call!"
Under the gaze of millions of horrified eyes, the black dragon, like a moving black mountain range, crushed across the shattered earth and finally stopped in front of Roy!
It lowered its head slightly, and its only remaining golden left eye clearly reflected Roy's figure.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still!
The embodiment of the end of the world and the boy who faces the end are so close to each other that they stare at each other, creating an epic scene that makes the whole world hold its breath and people's souls tremble!
"It has wisdom—no, what is it confirming?"
Roy keenly caught the light deep in the black dragon's eyes. For a moment, he thought he was facing a heretic, but upon closer inspection, he realized something was different.
The black dragon is not a heretic with intelligence.
To be precise, not entirely. The other party has a certain level of intelligence, but not much. At this moment, it is like a ferocious beast that is about to pounce and identify its prey.
"Ouch——!!"
Suddenly, the black dragon king's neck jerked up, pointing directly at the storm-covered sky. Its gaping maw, filled with fangs, opened wide, unleashing a dragon's roar of boundless destruction that tore through space.
The terrifying sound waves, visible to the naked eye, surged in all directions, their power surpassing Alphia's sonic magic. The sky trembled, and the thick clouds were instantly torn to shreds!
Immediately afterwards, a black aura, similar to that of a "god assassin," emanated from the black dragon's entire body.
The answer has been confirmed: it's Kami!
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Alphia and using magic to teleport her hundreds of meters away.
"What did you do?"
Alphia looked at Roy; when they fought the black dragon, it hadn't been this fierce.
"Black monster—God's assassin—" Roy didn't answer, muttering to himself, a flash of inspiration crossing his mind—the skill he had recently sublimated.
Am I a god?
"————" Roy's face darkened. It's just a skill. Do they really think he's a god?
"Alphia, I don't have the strength to take care of you anymore!" Roy's deep voice rang out. From now on, the black dragon would definitely target him relentlessly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Alphia snorted coldly, as she was always the one looking after others.
As the witch with the strongest talent in history, even though she did not reach her peak due to a terminal illness, Alphia believed that among humans, only Albert, the Empress, and Roy in front of her could defeat her.
Roy's words were an insult to her pride.
If the black dragon hadn't been right in front of them, Alphia would definitely have fired a cannon shot at Roy.
"That's good!" Roy's lips curled up.
He's going to unleash his full power!
In that instant, the black dragon moved.
The dragon claw, covered in thick, dark scales, rose up, blotting out the sky, and with a piercing shriek that tore through the air, it slammed down fiercely towards Roy's head.
The speed was so fast that even Roy, who possessed the "Intuition" skill, couldn't react in time and only saw a black shadow flash by.
Roy reacted based on his body's instincts.
Transfer to a higher position!
Just as the dragon claw shadow was about to engulf Roy, spatial fluctuations swallowed his body.
Rumble!
The black dragon's strike, which was supposed to hit its mark, missed its target. The dragon's claws, carrying immense force, slammed down, causing the earth to collapse and sending debris and dust billowing into the sky!
The next moment, ripples spread for kilometers, and Roy emerged, his face showing lingering fear; the other party had moved too fast!
Despite its enormous size, its speed was by no means slow. Without the transfer of power, the black dragon would have killed him instantly, as easily as crushing an ant.
Whoosh—boom!
The black dragon spread its enormous wings, which blotted out the sky, and with a gentle flap, its massive body soared into the air.
In an instant, a violent hurricane appeared out of nowhere, and the aftershocks it generated overturned the bowing dragon monsters, sending them flying backward toward the edge of the storm.
The black dragon never considered these dragon monsters as companions; they were merely food to replenish its energy.
boom!
When the black dragon fully spread its wings and soared into the sky, the enormous shadow it cast engulfed the entire earth, like a black curtain of doomsday.
The true form of the Black Dragon, the embodiment of the end, was revealed without reservation in this sky!
With its well-known ability to fly, at this point, only mages' magic can touch the black dragon; most people can only serve as atmosphere-building elements on the battlefield.
In addition, there are warriors who understand "afterglow"!
Roy was one of them. The elven holy sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling light, and crimson flames erupted from the blade, wrapping around it layer upon layer.
"drink!"
Roy let out a low shout, and a terrifying slash, wrapped in crimson flames that could burn everything, tore through the sky and fiercely slashed at the huge black dragon in mid-air.
With this attack, combined with LV.8 stats, skills, development potential, and equipment effects, Roy was confident he could kill even a LV.9 monster.
However, the black dragon didn't even look at him properly.
Snap! Buzz—!
The dragon claw, covered in thick, dark scales, clenched in mid-air, easily seizing the crimson slash that could cleave rivers and seas. With a slight exertion, it crushed it to pieces.
Seeing this, Roy did not look discouraged.
From the moment he awoke, the black dragon's eyes never left Roy, and this targeting brought an extreme sense of oppression, which in turn amplified Roy's "adventure".
All stats keep rising!
Strength reached S, Dexterity, Agility, and Magic reached F—D—B—and even Endurance, which had already reached SS, continued to improve to an unprecedented peak.
"hehe!"
Every cell in his body was surging with immense power. Facing the terrifying black dragon, Roy showed no fear, only the purest fervor. Among humans, there was practically no one who could be his opponent; only those horrible monsters remained!
Black Dragon? That was his achievement of reaching LV.9!
