Chapter 210 Slaying the Dragon (4k)
Deoxys’ “Cat Eye” successfully took effect, slightly easing Dark’s tension on the cliff.
The “Roll” ability of the Big Milk Jar was most afraid of being interrupted right at the start.
The first roll was especially prone to being blocked!
But once it got past the initial phase, every subsequent roll would increase in speed and power exponentially.
By the third roll, even if the opponent tried to block, it would be extremely difficult to stop it!
With a technique power as high as 240, this could be considered the pinnacle among elemental techniques, already reaching a terrifying level!
Not to mention there were still two more exponential increases afterward!
…
Now that the dragon was confused by the “Cat Eye,” the second roll of the Big Milk Jar was guaranteed to hit!
And indeed, it did.
Turning around the cliff wall, the Big Milk Jar charged back with overwhelming momentum, crushing the dragon’s right face again!
Large scales were deformed under the pressure, and the dragon let out a painful roar!
Deoxys seized the opportunity and delivered a “Kitty Punch” to its lower jaw!
“BOOM!”
The dragon’s mouth suddenly snapped shut, biting its own tongue.
Its eyes became moist, almost tearing up.
But under the pain, its “confusion” state was dispelled, and it instinctively swung its tail in a sweeping motion!
In an instant, a sandstorm erupted.
Strong winds carried sand like bullets.
Deoxys barely had time to cross its arms to protect its chest before being struck by the tail!
After a momentary pause.
Deoxys’ body was thrown backward, smashing into the cliff wall with a loud “boom”!
The cliff wall crumbled instantly, even the top shaking.
Dark thought for a moment that Deoxys might have been destroyed, but its arm block seemed to work, still retaining some mana.
The dragon’s strength surpassed imagination!
“Huhu!”
Before he could call out, Huhu’s eyes burst with intense light.
It fully utilized its psychic powers, enveloping itself in a radiant glow.
“Power Trick!”
Huhu’s attack and defense instantly switched under the influence of psychic powers.
[Attack: 0-2200]
[Defense: 2200-0]
“Defense Split!”
In the next moment, the psychic light shot toward the agonizingly roaring dragon below.
On Huhu’s card, the defense value surged instantly!
From 0 after switching attack and defense, it leaped to 1700 points!
This meant the dragon’s original defense could be as high as 3400 points!
If this dragon wasn’t particularly strong in defense…
A look of horror appeared in Dark’s eyes.
He immediately realized that this dragon could very well be an eighth-star monster in the third tier!
Even if it was just an eighth-star blank slate, it was still a being that only upperclassmen could aspire to.
“So Alvaraite’s treasure map wasn’t meant for lowerclassmen at all?”
“But of course, who can guarantee that a lowerclassman will pass through the giant bear and lion challenges unscathed?”
“It’s very likely that this treasure map is hidden somewhere only upperclassmen can access.”
“Perhaps it’s tucked away in some reference book only upperclassmen use.”
“Principal Altair really did something rather unwise…”
While Dark smiled bitterly, he already held a new mana spirit card in his hands.
…
In the basin, the Big Milk Jar had completed its turn and started its third roll!
After three doublings, the “Roll” ability increased to 240 points, reaching a level of speed and power that normal four-star techniques couldn’t achieve!
But facing an eighth-star dragon, this power was still insufficient!
“In the name of Dark Diemon, I sacrifice and summon!”
To assist the Big Milk Jar in completing the third roll, Dark burst forth in a critical moment, compressing the sacrificial summoning spell’s casting time to within 10 seconds!
The Diemon that had been smashed into the cliff wall suddenly turned into light.
A huge sacrificial summoning array lit up on the cliff wall, instantly catching the dragon’s attention.
But it was still in pain, glancing at the summoning array before turning its anger toward the rolling Big Milk Jar!
“Humph!”
Two flames erupted from its nostrils.
Facing the Big Milk Jar, the dragon opened its mouth wide, emitting a strong sulfuric smell and glowing fire.
But on the summoning array, a pink elemental tied with a ribbon had already appeared.
It raised its head high, with soft, watery light in its eyes.
Seductive sounds came from its throat, spreading the “Charming Body” effect as a voice throughout the entire basin.
Very fortunately, the dragon guarding the treasure was male!
The Eevee made from the “Bliss Fruit” core contained the power of the “Bliss” sin, even an eighth-star dragon couldn’t resist its charm!
Almost instantly, the dragon’s pain and anger vanished, replaced by sheer infatuation.
The dragon breath it was about to release was swallowed back into its throat.
Then the Big Milk Jar’s third roll finally hit its body!
The dragon, whose defense had been halved, endured a powerful blow!
The massive body was almost knocked away by the Big Milk Jar!
Though it didn’t show externally, its aura had clearly weakened.
…
However, after this strike, Huhu’s psychic powers reached their limit, and the light surrounding the dragon shattered, restoring its defense capabilities.
Struggle appeared in its eyes with symbols!
The difference in star levels finally showed.
Originally, a fatal technique’s debuff effect would be weakened when crossing one tier, and nearly useless when crossing two tiers.
Diemon and Eevee’s ultimate skills having such a significant effect on the dragon was already extremely overpowered.
Huhu’s “Defense Split” only lasted for a short time.
Just a moment more, and the dragon would surely break free from the “Charm” state!
But even so, it was too late!
…
On the cliff.
Dark drew another mana spirit card, carefully watching the situation below.
The Big Milk Jar’s fourth roll had already begun, an unstoppable force.
Though the dragon struggled, it was still under the influence of charm control. The fourth roll was certain to hit.
But the dragon’s true defense was 3400 points, and its vitality as a dragon wouldn’t be low. Even the fourth attack might withstand it.
Ultimately, the Big Milk Jar’s base attack was too low, severely limiting its effectiveness.
Thus, this battle might hinge on the final roll!
The fourth roll was already so powerful, the fifth roll was impossible to stop.
But the dragon… had wings!
Once free from the charm control, it could simply flap its wings and fly away, making it impossible for the Big Milk Jar to hit!
…
In a brief moment of thought, the Big Milk Jar’s fourth roll hit the dragon’s body!
The rotational airflow generated was like a blade, shredding the dragon’s scales.
One of the dragon’s hind legs was mangled, half crippled!
Intense pain further stimulated the dragon’s nerves, breaking free from the charm’s hold.
But at this point, its injuries were severe.
Ignoring minor injuries on its left and right faces, the Big Milk Jar’s third and fourth rolls caused extensive damage.
The continuous loss of vitality threatened the dragon.
But as a dragon, it didn’t immediately flee due to its pride.
After this long fight, the miserable dragon finally let out a complete dragon breath!
The fiery dragon breath chased after the Big Milk Jar’s tail, but the Big Milk Jar rolled too fast, avoiding the breath with a single turn!
“Roar!”
The dragon let out an extreme angry roar.
The entire dragon stood on its hind legs.
Its lower limbs were thick and stable, but its upper limbs were small, thin, and long.
Yet, its claws were sharp and powerful!
Seeing this, it clenched its fists, roared at the sky, then smashed the ground with a mighty punch.
The ground cracked violently, like lightning spreading toward the Big Milk Jar.
Though the Big Milk Jar dodged the direct impact, the sudden surge of lava it couldn’t evade!
At this moment,
The air currents around the Big Milk Jar were terrifying due to its high-speed rotation, tightly wrapping around its body.
When rolling, including the air currents, it exceeded five meters in diameter, matching the dragon’s size!
All the surging lava either deflected off the air currents or was sucked in, making the Big Milk Jar like a fire wheel!
In an instant, the fire wheel broke through the dragon’s defense, accelerating with irresistible force.
Its speed had surpassed the limit!
The resulting impact could crush everything!
The dragon spat out another fierce dragon breath, but it couldn’t break through the air current barrier.
At that moment…
It finally felt the threat of death, panic evident in its eyes.
Seeing the Big Milk Jar rolling towards it, the dragon couldn’t resist flapping its wings!
Bat-like dragon wings created an upward draft, lifting its body slightly.
Then, with a mighty flap, it prepared to soar!
Suddenly,
The Big Milk Jar, which was still several meters away, directly crossed that distance and crashed into the dragon!
“Bang!”
Devastating!
Whether it was the dragon’s hard scales, thick hide, or steel-like bones, they were all like paper toys before the Big Milk Jar’s fifth roll, collapsing, crushing, and exploding!
Its last roar was forever silenced, life fading like the wind.
…
“It’s over!”
Dark straightened his spine, putting down the “Flash Spell.”
From the Big Milk Jar rolling down the cliff to the dragon being crushed and turning to light, the whole process took less than a few minutes.
Eevee’s “help,” Diemon’s “Cat Eye,” Huhu’s “Defense Split,” Eevee’s “Charming Body” + “Charming Voice,” and the final “Flash Spell”!
All of these were to assist the Big Milk Jar in completing its fifth roll!
Even an eighth-star dragon, once losing the initiative, fell step by step, ultimately crushed by this hellish rolling!
…
At the last moment, Dark remained vigilant.
“Imp Beast.”
Under his command, the Imp Beast flew down the cliff, circling the basin before entering the dragon’s den.
Moments later, it flew out of the den, bringing news of safety.
Dark found a relatively gentle path and slowly descended.
“Mia—”
Eevee extended its ribbon tentacle, lifting him halfway down and nuzzling happily.
The Imp Beast puffed up its cheeks but didn’t dare say much to the hero of the battle.
The Big Milk Jar, after drinking a bottle of “milk,” slowly approached, standing in front of Dark, eagerly waiting.
Dark smiled, rubbing its head affectionately. “Well done!”
The Big Milk Jar immediately looked more delighted than after crushing the dragon.
The Imp Beast flew anxiously in an “8” pattern in the air, urging, “Treasure, treasure!”
…
The treasure was in sight, but Dark wasn’t rushed.
He surveyed the surroundings of the basin, giving “Diemon” mana enrichment.
The Diemon on the card crossed its arms, showing dissatisfaction.
It was unhappy about not being able to sustain until the end.
Dark comforted it briefly and waited until its mana was replenished, then summoned it again.
Soon, Huhu and Eevee also arrived at the basin, supported by Eevee.
Since they had contributed in the battle, they should share in the rewards together.
Dark waited for everyone to gather and entered the dragon’s den!
The Imp Beast didn’t fly too deep.
But the front part of the den was obviously safe.
Starting from the middle section, uncertainty set in.
Dark never shied away from assuming the worst about Alvaraite.
No one could be sure if she hadn’t added some tricks to the final challenge.
As they delved deeper, the air became drier, with a pungent odor emanating.
Dark covered his nose until his sense of smell became fatigued.
Traps never appeared.
Midway, Dark gave the mana spirits a round of mana enrichment, then continued forward, finally reaching the “treasure location”!
But the imagined piles of gold coins and scattered jewels didn’t appear.
Nor did the usual adventure novel trope—a dragon egg!
Dark had hoped for one.
Even if it wasn’t a dragon egg, a mana spirit card of dragon type or attribute would still be a great find.
But none of that happened.
They stood at the entrance of the treasure cave, bewilderedly looking at the final treasure location.
The entire cave was covered with smooth, shining mirrors, from top to bottom, without any gaps.
Opening his eyes, he saw countless reflections of himself in the mirrors, expressing shock.
Just like the secret room Wit had found!
