Chapter 284: The Death of the Giant Halberd Dragon.
Impossible.
Whether it be Wing Claw or forelimbs, no matter what, it was impossible to reach over the shoulder and touch the spine, grabbing the Strike Dragon Gun embedded in its back and pull it out.
This was not an action that belonged to a monster.
Jie Jie, charging once again towards the Giant Halberd Dragon, felt as if he had stepped on something. Perhaps it was some broken hunting gear.
The hunting equipment, along with the ruins and molten lava, was crushed underfoot. The two monsters began grappling in close combat once more, wrestling fiercely.
Beyond brute strength, they both had their tricks up their sleeves.
Meditative fire emission and colossal flaming claws.
Breath rays, they possessed those too.
Brilliant blue beams and explosive heated heavy dragon oil rays.
Still, they couldn’t escape the sheer collision of raw flesh.
The Giant Halberd Dragon’s movements were restricted by the Strike Dragon Gun, making Jie Jie appear more agile. He directly stepped onto the body of the Giant Halberd Dragon.
Claws shattered scales, and his massive jaws tore into its flesh and blood.
The taste was bizarrely unpleasant; the Giant Halberd Dragon’s bodily fluids seemed to burn inside his mouth.
The sharp claws of the Giant Halberd Dragon could also pierce through the shell of the Míng Dēng Lóng, and its teeth were even better than the Míng Dēng Lóng’s, making its frantic actions highly efficient in close combat.
The Míng Dēng Lóng had an advantage in energy projection, but this advantage only caused destruction equal to the damage inflicted by the Giant Halberd Dragon’s clawing and biting.
Yet Jie Jie still felt pain, and his energy was rapidly depleting while maintaining parity.
On the other hand, the Giant Halberd Dragon seemed to have no sense of pain, only growing more frenzied in its wild biting, even continuing despite one of its forelimbs being torn off by Jie Jie.
In such close combat, it seemed Jie Jie would fall first due to energy exhaustion.
Of course, Jie Jie realized that if he kept clinging and mutually gnawing, he would definitely lose. But his goal wasn’t to bite the Giant Halberd Dragon into submission.
Withstanding the pain from the Giant Halberd Dragon’s crazed biting, his arms had already climbed up the shaft of the Strike Dragon Gun.
Exerting force.
The Strike Dragon Gun gradually advanced further into the Giant Halberd Dragon’s body, pinning it in place, unable to move.
The Giant Halberd Dragon’s motions slightly weakened, but its madness compensated for part of it.
“Sssshhh.”
Jie Jie pulled from the Giant Halberd Dragon’s mouth a tail that had been bitten off, clearly missing chunks of flesh. Transforming into the Steel Dragon form, he shrank in size and distanced himself from the Giant Halberd Dragon’s attack range, panting on the spot.
The Strike Dragon Gun piercing the Giant Halberd Dragon had already emerged from its lower abdomen, anchoring it into the ground.
But the ground continued to crack due to the Giant Halberd Dragon’s struggles, as if this anchor wasn’t secure enough, or perhaps the ground was simply too fragile for an Ultra-Large Monster.
Unstable or not, his aim wasn’t to pin the Giant Halberd Dragon to the ground but to destroy its core body.
The Giant Halberd Dragon was now paralyzed from the waist down, barely dragging itself forward using its front limbs, opening its mouth repeatedly to try and bite.
It resembled a decapitated zombie, truly living up to its alien appearance.
This couldn’t possibly be explained by astonishing vitality alone.
Jie Jie looked around. The corpse of the Tempered Black Dragon still lay motionless where it fell, while the ruined city suffered further devastation from their rampage.
He transformed into the Flame King Dragon form, relaxing his body as much as possible to search for gunpowder and ore, restoring his energy while trying to gather useful items.
The central urban area of Dongduoluma was relatively well-preserved. He searched amidst the devastated cityscape, passing the time while his energy recovered, hoping to find any traces of good news.
Before the arrival of the Tempered Black Dragon, it seemed that all unrelated to battle had evacuated Dongduoluma. Moreover, he hadn’t seen a particularly long katana longer than a Flying Dragon.
Dongduoluma had the venerable Dragon Person Great Elder guarding it. Not seeing that Slaying Dragon Sword, could it mean the Great Elder survived and retreated after victory?
But after the calamity following the death of the Tempered Black Dragon scorched both sky and earth, could there really be a retreat after victory?
Draining the source crystals from the earth’s veins to accelerate short-term energy recovery, the Míng Dēng Lóng turned back, looking at the Giant Halberd Dragon crawling after him.
“The time has come.”
Jie Jie stepped on the Giant Halberd Dragon’s Wing Claw, stepping on its neck, the surging azure light in his throat reflected in the eyes of the Giant Halberd Dragon.
One second, the Giant Halberd Dragon struggled.
Two seconds, the Giant Halberd Dragon’s eyes were destroyed.
Three seconds, the Giant Halberd Dragon’s struggle grew violent once more.
[Power Unleashed]
At four seconds, Jie Jie was shaken by the Giant Halberd Dragon’s struggles, causing the beam of light to miss.
Four seconds, five seconds, the head of the Giant Halberd Dragon was being destroyed.
By the eighth second, the body of the Giant Halberd Dragon ceased movement.
“Is it dead?”
Holding the Giant Halberd Dragon firmly down and continuously focusing his breath weapon on a single point, the Giant Halberd Dragon lasted only seven seconds before dying from head damage.
Only target practice could achieve such damage.
“Let me see what’s going on…”
Jie Jie muttered, claw piercing through the chest of the Giant Halberd Dragon.
The legendary Dragon God Jade that, once cracked, would turn the entire continent into barren land?
The War Dragon God Jade???
In the perception of the Míng Dēng Lóng, the energy radiating from this Dragon God Jade was moving toward the Tempered Black Dragon.
As if…there existed some kind of connection between them.
Or…the Light-Flame Dragon God Jade?
Jie Jie recalled the hollow in the Tempered Black Dragon’s abdomen, his thoughts falling into the dream space.
Unlike previous times, he didn’t see any Tempered Black Dragons.
All he saw were floating fragments, each flashing with snippets of memories.
…
Snippet One.
The Hunter Guild’s assembled expedition team landed on the cursed land battered by wind and rain, a familiar hunter among them.
The hunters’ figures were blown into the sky, drifting in the storm, but eventually, the one who fell from the air was the most weighty yet graceful figure.
The cursed land of the Spirit Peak faded away, and the storm cleared.
…
Snippet Two.
The familiar hunter boarded a sand ship, crossing the endless desert. The Strike Dragon Gun extended like an arm, colliding with the Peak Mountain Dragon within the Dragon Charge.
The bountiful seasonal winds blew toward Loke Clark.
…
Snippet Three.
The familiar hunter bore the hopes of Mojia Village, diving alone into the sea. Amidst the underwater ruins, the ancient Strike Dragon Gun was fired, and the Hero’s Proof seemed to pierce through the vast ocean water.
The overly developed right horn of the Great Sea Dragon was broken, and upon leaping into the sky, the remaining left horn curved like a crescent moon.
…
Snippet Four.
No rainbow after the rain, no bountiful seasonal winds, no bright crescent moon—only a blood-red ocean and sky stretched endlessly, with continuous islands sinking beneath the waves.
The fleet gathered, and the hunter helped transport supplies with everyone else in the Tangjia Port warehouse. He boarded the flagship of the Strike Dragon fleet, which formed a line of battle, protesting against the legendary infernal giant god in the cursed sea.
