Chapter 457 Creating a Miracle, Slaying the Dragon That Shook the World
"The madman—he—he's laughing—?!"
People could clearly sense the world-destroying pressure emanating from the black dragon through the divine mirror, their faces turning ashen. However, the images displayed in the divine mirror transformed their fear into a shocking and mind-blowing experience!
Standing before the avatar of the end, Roy's eyes were filled with burning fighting spirit, and the corners of his handsome mouth curled into an almost manic arc.
boom!
The black dragon soaring through the sky locked its molten gold vertical pupils onto the tiny figure below, and its massive maw, filled with fangs, opened wide, gathering magical power.
An astonishing surge of magical energy distorted space, and fine electrical currents flickered in its mouth.
The next moment, a purplish-black dragon breath surging with flames was unleashed by the black dragon, pouring down towards Roy's location like a world-destroying torrent!
The entire sky changed color as a result of this attack.
No one doubted that if this breath were to land in any city in the world, that city and its inhabitants would be instantly destroyed, including Orario.
No matter how powerful the defensive magic, it can't stop it!
Transfer to a higher position!
Just as the annihilating torrent was about to engulf the earth, the magic was activated, and ripples spread through the surrounding space. Roy vanished without a trace.
The destructive dragon's breath, having lost its target, poured fiercely into the already shattered earth below.
In an instant!
The earth was easily torn apart like a fragile biscuit, and a terrifying abyss, bottomless and with its edges flowing with lava and boiling energy, was instantly formed!
Countless dragon monsters were affected by this dragon breath.
Among them were even powerful dragon species with the potential to reach LV.9, but just being swept by the edge of the black dragon's breath, the most solid scales and tough bodies of those dragon monsters instantly turned to ashes.
Witnessing this scene, all the onlookers were horrified, their souls trembling!
That was a battle from another dimension!
Monsters of levels 5 and 6 can wreak havoc and cause countless disasters on the continent when they escape from the dungeon, while monsters of levels 8 and 9 are even more unimaginable super natural disasters. However, in this battle, monsters of these levels are just cannon fodder!
At the same time, magic slowly rose from the slain monsters, gathering into an astonishing torrent that surged into the black dragon's body.
This is one of the characteristics of the Black Dragon.
It is not only a strengthened species that can become stronger by devouring monsters, but it does not even need to directly consume magic stones. Instead, it forcibly sweeps over the power of all monsters around it.
From this perspective, the black dragon is not only an enemy of the gods and humans, but also a calamity for monsters.
The world of genuine goods is coming to an end!
Rumble! Rumble!!
Absorbing the magic power of those dragon monsters, the black dragon's energy erupted, and the surging, terrifying magical fluctuations caused the entire sky to change drastically. The thick dust and haze were torn apart and twisted, forming a huge energy vortex.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the dim sky, like an overturned palette, shifted wildly between purplish-black, scarlet, and pale white, emitting a dull and painful groan.
The wind wall was extremely distorted, and the fairy storm could barely suppress the black dragon's violent energy fluctuations.
At this moment, spatial fluctuations spread upwards.
Roy's figure appeared like a ghost on the back of the black dragon, his feet treading on thick black scales, his hands gripping the dragon's short blade and the elven holy sword respectively.
"Drink!"
With a sharp shout, Roy's arms became blurry afterimages, and countless fierce slashes struck the black dragon, accompanied by the ear-piercing clang of metal against metal.
Initially, Roy's slashes could only create a series of dazzling sparks on the dragon scales, which were harder than divine iron.
puff!
However, as the number of attacks increases, the "combo" development ability is activated, and combined with other skills and development abilities, the short blade with armor-piercing power is the first to tear open a gap.
The elven holy sword slashed fiercely into the crack!
The black dragon's tough scales were mercilessly torn apart, and thick, purplish-black dragon blood gushed from the wounds.
"Ouch!!"
The slight pain from his back and the humiliation of his torn scales ignited the black dragon's fury. He flapped his wings and his massive body tumbled through the air.
A huge shadow instantly covered the sky.
With terrifying momentum capable of crushing everything, it crashed down onto the shattered earth below! Even if the dragon's claws couldn't touch that ant, the black dragon wouldn't surrender; it would crush Roy to death with its back.
Just as he was about to land, Roy's figure vanished into the void once more.
Rumble! ...
The black dragon's mountain-like body crashed down like a meteor, causing the entire earth to groan and collapse layer by layer. A visible shockwave, centered on the point of impact, spread wildly like a tsunami.
The aftershocks pushed to the edge of the fairy storm, crushing countless dragon monsters once again.
After Roy and Alphia entered Dragon Valley, the number of dragons they killed was far less than that of the Black Dragon.
Transfer to a higher position!
Such a terrifying impact did not harm Roy at all. Before the devastating aftershocks had subsided, Roy's figure moved like a leech, arriving below the abdomen of the Black Dragon's open abdomen.
Burning Heaven + Lingering Light + Overlord Strike + Overlord Light!
Roy's eyes burned with a fanatical fighting spirit. He wielded his twin blades, slashing at the black dragon's scale-covered belly. New wounds kept opening on the dragon's body, and purplish-black dragon blood poured down like a torrential rain!
"roar!!"
The excruciating pain in its abdomen drove the black dragon completely mad. It raised its terrifying claw, which, accompanied by a shrill scream that tore through space and a viscous dark poison, swept frantically toward the tiny figure below its abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, Roy could even feel the gale whipped up by the black dragon's claws. His pupils contracted sharply, and his spatial teleportation ability was activated to its limit once again.
In the fraction of a second before the dragon's claw struck Roy, his figure vanished by a hair's breadth.
All that remained was the black dragon's ferocious claws, which ripped apart the space where Roy had just been moments before.
"hiss!"
As people watched the battle unfold in the divine mirror, gasps of astonishment rippled through the world. They stood frozen, rooted to the spot, completely motionless.
Facing that world-destroying black dragon, Roy actually seemed to have the upper hand, which was simply outrageous.
No LV.8 adventurer could have achieved such a feat. Ota and Leon's mouths twitched; they would have been beaten to death by the black dragon.
Spatial magic is incredibly powerful!
Black Dragon couldn't touch Roy at all.
But looking at the black dragon's enormous body and the small wound Roy had inflicted on it, the crowd couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
The margin for error is too high!
Any level 9 monster would have died instantly under Roy's furious onslaught, while the black dragon wouldn't even have suffered minor injuries.
The black dragon can withstand countless attacks from Roy, but if Roy is caught by it even once, he will die!
A devastating gap!
But to everyone's eyes, Roy showed no sign of frustration, as if he had known this fact all along, but the fervor in his eyes only increased.
A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole!
By gradually accumulating damage, Roy believed he could wear down the world-destroying black dragon before him!
"Awooooooo!!"
Faced with this tiny, annoying creature, which was also the "god" it hated most, the black dragon's molten gold vertical pupils ignited the rage of a top predator that had been completely out of control after being toyed with.
A furious roar erupted from the depths of its abyss-like throat, the materialized, terrifying sound waves mixed with viscous dark magic, exploding in all directions.
The sky was torn open with spiderweb-like, pitch-black cracks!
The oppressive feeling brought by the dragon's roar was all-pervasive, something that even spatial magic could not avoid, and Roy's ability value inevitably decreased.
"Noise—a blessing!"
Alphia said coldly, and an invisible sonic cannon shot was fired, hitting the black dragon's belly precisely.
With a loud "boom," the sounds of shattering and tearing flesh rang out simultaneously. The steel-hard scales on the black dragon's belly could no longer withstand the pressure and suddenly burst open.
Dark purple dragon blood, exuding an ominous aura, gushed out from the gaps in the shattered scales.
This attack is the gray-haired witch's declaration!
Let the Black Dragon know that she shouldn't be ignored!
However, the terrifying bombardment that could kill ordinary dragons on the spot was as insignificant as a mosquito bite to the black dragon's mountain-sized, terrifying body.
"cut!"
Alphia curled her lip. The damage from the magic "Demon King Valion" was no longer enough; that hateful dragon had become even stronger.
To be precise, the opponent's strength is recovering!
After having one of its eyes taken by the great hero Albert, the black dragon is no longer at its peak, but it has been slowly recovering by devouring dragon monsters over the years. The current black dragon is even more powerful than when the two major clans attacked it!
"That attack was—could it be?!"
Compared to the world-renowned "Madman" Roy, Alphia, who stood beside him, used the Illusionary Cloak to disguise her identity and seemed quite ordinary. Many people were curious about her identity until this magic appeared.
The invisible and intangible sonic attack was so obvious that everyone immediately recognized her identity.
The gray-haired witch known as "Silence"!
A high-ranking member of the Hera Familia, he reached LV.7 at the age of fifteen. Before Roy appeared, he was the fastest adventurer to level up in the lower realm. He was hailed by the gods as the human with the strongest talent in history. He delivered the final blow to the sea tyrant Leviathan. His fame was in no way inferior to Roy's.
Or join the dark faction and wreak havoc in Orario—a fallen hero!
"My God, she's not dead?"
"They've been resurrected, haven't they? Do you remember the Astrea Familia's conquest of the Underworld, and the members before their resurrection?"
"They actually managed to keep it a secret until now!"
Gods, adventurers, and people from all over the world exclaimed in astonishment, "What a remarkable Astrea Familia! They actually managed to preserve that witch's..."
It has been hidden all along.
Orario, the House of Hearths.
Belle's little face tensed, her rabbit-like blood-red eyes fixed on the image in the magic mirror. "Mommy Alphia, Mr. Roy, good luck!"
"Is that Belle's aunt? That's amazing!"
Hestia, Welf, and the others were dumbfounded. It turned out that their red-eyed rabbit had such a powerful backer—one of the strongest adventurers in the lower realm.
Alphia's bombardment successfully attracted the black dragon's attention. Unable to deal with Roy, who possessed spatial magic, the black dragon realized that instead of futilely chasing after that slippery ant, it would be better to crush another equally weak and relatively "static" human!
boom!
The enormous dragon wings, capable of blotting out the sky, suddenly flapped!
The black dragon's massive body drew a powerful arc in the air, abandoning the flickering Roy, and with a terrifying force capable of crushing everything, it charged fiercely towards Alphia, who stood still in place.
"Danger!"
Upon seeing this perilous scene, everyone in front of the magic mirror felt their hearts leap into their throats.
Screams and desperate cries filled the air.
The strategy of diverting internal conflicts by using external conflicts has worked. No matter how much damage Alphia has caused in the past, she is now fighting for the Netherworld, and people do not want her to be defeated by the black dragon again.
Alphia's agility is naturally inferior to Roy's, who possesses spatial magic. Whether she can evade the black dragon's attack remains to be seen, which is worrying.
Roy gave Alphia a deep look but did not use spatial magic to teleport her there to rescue her.
He knew the other person didn't need it!
This was Alphia's second time facing the black dragon's attacks, and she was even more skilled than Roy at dealing with them.
"snort!"
Just as the enormous, all-consuming shadow was about to engulf her, Alphia's bright heterochromatic eyes remained calm as still water. She lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her slender, graceful body floated backward as lightly as a weightless feather.
Alphia narrowly escaped the terrifying dragon head that could have crushed mountains, a truly breathtaking moment.
This is not the end!
Just as they passed each other, Alphia's body, which was floating backward, spun in mid-air, and her soft, boneless, and jade-white fist clenched tightly. She then punched forward, landing on the black dragon's ferocious head.
boom!
A dull thud erupted at the point of contact between Alphia's fist and the black dragon's head. Although the dragon's scales were not shattered, the powerful force sent the heavy body of the black dragon flying.
Under the gaze of countless dull and horrified beams of light, the black dragon crashed heavily onto the earth, the tremors lasting for a long time, stirring up a dust storm that blotted out the sky.
Everyone seemed to see a huge mountain being blasted away.
The skill "Compensation for Misfortune" has severe side effects, inflicting multiple abnormal statuses such as poisoning, paralysis, and shock, and semi-permanently reducing stats, stamina, and mental strength. However, the terrifying boost it provides allows Alphia to reach LV.9.
Combat strength.
Whether it was the battle against the Empress or the fight against the filthy fairy, Alphia had never truly used this skill before; only now was she truly going all out.
Because she was facing not only the end of the world, but also the enemy who had killed all her companions!
Alphia's hatred for the black dragon was no less than Ais's, but she was able to control her emotions.
"Come on, you hateful dragon!"
Alphia's captivating lips curled into a mad smile. She had entered Dragon Valley with Roy, prepared to die, and used her skills without restraint, causing her stats to skyrocket.
The heroes of the past and the heroes of the present joined forces to challenge the world-destroying dragon. The gods and the people of the lower realms were flushed and trembling with excitement.
It even made people forget the original purpose—this battle was only to gather intelligence on the Black Dragon.
"We can do it! We can overcome it!"
"Berserker, kill it!"
"Witch, vanquish the black dragon!"
Orario, the Great Wall of Dragons, the Kingdom of Lachia, the Magic Kingdom—on this vast continent, people in every corner are striving to raise their voices.
Roy and Alphia are like two sharp swords, tearing apart the gloom that has shrouded the world for thousands of years!
It gave people a sense of new hope.
Even the gods were no exception; their faces lit up with excitement, and they shouted, "Create miracles, young man!"
Those hysterical shouts and exciting sounds were unheard by the two people in Dragon Valley, and even if they had heard them, they wouldn't have been affected.
-
Neither of them had the grand ambition of saving the world; their battles were for themselves, for their fellow members of their clan, and for their beloved goddess.
"Drink it all!!"
Roy moved to the front of the black dragon that had been repelled by Alphia, letting out a hoarse roar. His hands transformed into two blurry blood shadows, and the dragon's short blade and the elven holy sword tore through the air, unleashing a barrage of slashes on the black dragon's body. The intense collisions resounded through the sky.
Nothing in the world can affect him!
Stacking "combos" — ten-hit combo — three hundred-hit combo — eight hundred-hit combo — one thousand-hit combo — Roy's slashing power kept rising, seemingly without end.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
With each sound, the black dragon's mountain-like body was slowly pushed back, adding to its wounds.
If the black dragon tries to attack Roy, it will be met with Alphia's fierce slashes. Her proficiency in the "Residual Light" technique is subtly superior to Roy's.
While interfering with the black dragon, Alphia continued chanting, "The root of blessing, the hatred of birth, devouring half my body is my original sin, impossible to cleanse—"
"hiss!"
The extremely high-intensity, continuous slashes caused Roy's muscles to groan as if on the verge of breaking, convulsing violently, far exceeding the limits of his physical body.
Not to mention his body, even his weapons couldn't withstand it. The Dragon Dagger and the Elven Holy Sword made a "crack" sound, a mournful cry of being overwhelmed!
Countless fine cracks covered both weapons.
The Elven Holy Sword has an enhanced "indestructible" attribute, allowing it to repair itself, while the Dragon Dagger gradually deteriorates.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the Dragon's Dagger shattered in Roy's hand into countless shimmering, dark stardust!
But it and Roy's mission was accomplished.
The real and the fake!
Roy stood at the forefront, his attacks appearing fierce, but in reality, he was covering for Alphia behind him.
"—I hate you so much, and the price is here: with this evidence of your crimes, destroy everything. Weep, Holy Bell Tower!"
Extinction - A Prayer!
Alphia's heavenly voice faded as the chant was completed, and a tremendous burst of magic erupted.
Above the heavens, a colossal golden bell, unforgettable at first sight, appeared, its surface engraved with countless mysterious patterns.
It radiates a golden glow.
Even the world-destroying black dragon's mountain-like body was completely shrouded in its sacred shadow.
Boom!
The golden bell moved without wind, its crisp sound exploding as the first materialized golden bell wave, carrying earth-shattering power, spread out with a roar!
Roy immediately moved to a distance, leaving the black dragon to take the brunt of Alphia's third spell. The black dragon's seemingly indestructible scales, as if struck by countless invisible hammer blows, cracked and peeled off in large swathes, making a crisp cracking sound!
"hold head high!"
The black dragon opened its blood-red maw, its head thrashing from side to side, and let out its first painful roar.
The destructive power that warriors and mages of the same level can cause in this world cannot be generalized!
Mages are usually no match for warriors of the same level because magic requires chanting, and they can only stand still and become sitting ducks. However, in terms of monster-clearing ability and pure destructive power, the former can leave the latter far behind!
Alphia at LV.7 can unleash maximum firepower equivalent to LV.10 or higher, so it was she who delivered the final blow to Leviathan, the overlord of the sea, not the Empress.
Alphia unleashed "Annihilation - Prayer" with all her might, its power second only to the slash Albert gave to the black dragon, making it the second strongest in history!
It can also deal a lot of damage to the black dragon!
Boom!
The second wave of the bell followed immediately!
This time, the bell tolled directly through the shattered scales and into the black dragon's body, causing thick, purplish-black dragon blood to gush from countless wounds.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The third path — the fourth path — the seventh path — the tenth path — containing terror. The bell tolled continuously, and the black dragon's huge body was blasted and covered in wounds, with its skin torn and flesh torn, revealing its bones.
However, the black dragon was not annihilated!
"Just like before," Alphia murmured. The side effects of using her third magic began to appear, and a strong sense of powerlessness surged up. Her magic was unable to completely kill that hateful dragon.
Just then, her heterochromatic eyes reflected Roy's figure; the boy had arrived at the decisive location.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy transferred his power to the suppressed black dragon, unleashing pure killing intent. He combined all the power of the elven holy sword and slashed downwards with all his might.
The crimson-gold sword light tore through the distorted space, slashing at the black dragon's neck, which was raised high and whose defenses had been reduced to their lowest point due to Zhong Bo tearing through its scales and muscles.
"Break it off!"
Roy roared, ignoring the agonizing screams of his muscles bursting and the fine cracks covering the blade of his elven holy sword, pouring all his power into it.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
puff!
There was no earth-shattering collision, only a faint, soft sound that made countless people's hearts pound.
A thin crack appeared at the torn neck of the black dragon, from which a faint trace of blood oozed.
The terrifying dragon head, as large as a small mountain and symbolizing the end and despair, slowly and silently slid down along the smooth, mirror-like slash mark under the gaze of billions of horrified eyes.
Rumble!!
The enormous dragon head, accompanied by a torrent of purplish-black blood, crashed heavily onto the hellish earth below.
