Chapter 138: The Bashful Corpse Suit Dragon.
Wind.
A wind unlike the breath of the Corpse Suit Dragon’s miasma, unlike the wind he manipulated with his miasma control. Not even like the cold winds that often swept through the gloomy valleys, howling like ghosts. This was a storm forming from converging air currents. A storm that only arose in the Valley of Miasma when the Steel Dragon lay dying at the bottom of the valley, and the Corpse Suit Dragon restored its dignity!
As the Wind Ball expelled by the Burst Scale Dragon unleashed its power, the Dragon Roll gathered the chaotic winds into a single force, and the raging storm enveloped the battlefield.
Just like the last time they faced the Corpse Suit Dragon, just like when Jié Jié confronted the Steel Dragon for the first time—his first encounter with an Ancient Dragon—he chose to go all out.
And going all out for him meant many things. It could mean hurling a massive fireball filled with intense poison or unleashing catastrophic explosions of destruction. Or it could mean hiding outside the battlefield, focusing all his energy on calling forth the true authority of an Ancient Dragon.
At this moment, he was vulnerable; a single well-placed attack could interrupt him, causing backlash. But this was also the strongest he had ever been. Not just the awakening storm, but terrifying dragon wind pressure raged around him, enough to tear apart any monster not large enough to withstand it, turning them into rolling corpses within the storm.
“Annnnng～～!”
Jié Jié’s long call echoed through the storm, as if a great mage reporting coordinates to the wind elementals to cast a spell.
He could feel the ancient gem inside him flashing, converting Dragon Attribute Energy via the Steel Dragon’s gem. Through the gaps between his scales, more dragon wind pressure poured out.
This kind of treasure could only form after centuries of Dragon Attribute Energy sedimentation inside an Ancient Dragon. Jié Jié couldn’t fully control it yet; the Dragon Attribute Energy leaked out through the conversion process, rampaging through his body.
This rampant energy combined with life energy, creating metabolic demands that forced his body to consume immense amounts of nutrients. But Jié Jié was no longer what he used to be. He allowed the Dragon Attribute Energy and life energy to modify his already Ancient-Dragon-blood-infused body.
As the storm grew larger, his familiarity with the Steel Dragon’s gem increased rapidly, allowing it to convert more Dragon Attribute Energy while maintaining stability, safely remodeling his body.
Once swallowed, the gem became his, enhancing and modifying all forms of his being. Truly, a future worth looking forward to.
The great wind mage thought, gazing at the gray-yellow storm before him—a masterpiece of his own creation.
The gray-yellow hue came from the miasma’s influence. Though some microbes were destroyed by the storm’s violence, most survived, gathering under the cyclone-like suction. All surrounding miasma was drawn into the storm.
In elemental attributes, wind often plays a catalytic or auxiliary role. In the guild’s classification, there isn’t even a category for wind—it’s just pure airflow. Perhaps he could use the storm to disintegrate monsters with weak flesh, tearing them into fragments. But against Ancient Dragons with powerful physical strength…
The storm might instead be corrupted by their powers and lose control.
Like the old Steel Dragon who summoned a storm only to trap himself in a water prison.
If the Steel Dragon fought the Flame King Dragon in a volcanic region, would a fiery tornado really harm the Flame King Dragon?
Now, the storm mixed with miasma as the Corpse Suit Dragon howled, attempting to manipulate the wind with her miasma abilities.
But miasma wasn’t like water—powerful yet substantive. The Corpse Suit Dragon had absolute control, but her strength was too weak.
While she moved using the miasma, he could simply blow it away.
Living in the abyss had made the Master of the Corpse Membrane forget how to fly, helplessly watching her miasma get sucked into the storm. Even her newly dried, fitting “clothes” disintegrated in the storm.
Her wings bore tremendous pressure, their membranes torn even more raggedly, now hanging limply at her sides.
Seeing this, Jié Jié released control over the storm, letting it spread freely with the miasma.
After resting briefly where he stood, Jié Jié broke through the expanding storm wall, entering the eye of the storm.
He landed on the fallen Sulfur Slaying Dragon, taking its place as the Corpse Suit Dragon’s opponent.
Now the Corpse Suit Dragon’s corpse suit had been stripped away, leaving only a thin layer of faint miasma covering her naked body.
Though her appearance was somewhat monstrous, her slim figure beneath the veil was oddly alluring, revealing smooth, tempting scales.
Previously, to stabilize herself in the storm, her beautiful hook claws had pierced the ground bashfully.
Such a turn-on for dragon lovers!
Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle!!!
“Annnnng～～!”
Jié Jié roared, declaring responsibility for what happened earlier, proving to the Corpse Suit Dragon that he was worthy to fight her.
The power of the dragon wind was gone, but the Master of the Corpse Membrane had lost her home-field advantage.
They would now engage in a fierce hand-to-hand combat within this storm-separated area!
The petite Corpse Suit Dragon hesitated, so he would take the initiative and guide her.
Jié Jié stepped forward with the strong legs of the Burst Scale Dragon, his bulky head losing balance during the run and smacking onto the ground.
Just a polite early greeting, his thick neck strained, preventing his head from hindering his legs. Instead, this made his Dragon Charge even more powerful.
Facing the charging Dragon Charge, the inexperienced Corpse Suit Dragon finally snapped out of her confusion after being stripped and bathed, fiercely swinging her front claw at Jié Jié.
Her claw struck the bulky head of the Burst Scale Dragon, leaving slight marks and negligible pain for Jié Jié.
On the other hand, she was directly sent flying, stumbling backward.
Jié Jié raised his head and shook it violently, flinging burst scales toward the Corpse Suit Dragon.
With perfectly tailored action modules, who needs a bicycle!
The burst scales scattered across the Corpse Suit Dragon and her surroundings, exploding with Jié Jié’s flame light.
A yellow pillar of miasma pierced through the flames, striking the Burst Scale Dragon’s head.
“Hiss, still got some left?”
Jié Jié widened his eyes, feeling the miasma seep through the gaps in his scales, eroding his body.
Not a problem. No matter how much you’ve got left, I’ll drain it all next!
He took large strides, shaking his head vigorously as he ran.
Burst scales fell. When he lost balance due to his movements, the shadow of the Burst Scale Dragon’s bulky head loomed over the Corpse Suit Dragon’s head.
