Chapter 158: The Corpse Suit Dragons (19/19)
Of course, proving this love required victory.
A short but fierce battle wasn’t the only process.
Simply put, Jié Jié felt he needed to prepare for a quick escape right now.
At this moment, after several rounds of white thorns shattering all over its body, the Extinction Dragon had started growing hard black thorns.
He leaped back to avoid the Extinction Dragon’s flying pounce and spat out three fireballs in succession, creating some negligible damage before unavoidable close combat came again.
Of course, using the Extinction Dragon’s sharp claws to shed his old skin was also a good choice.
The Extinction Dragon covered in black thorns was like a sharp steel ball, gradually scraping off the filth from his aging body through constant impacts and friction.
The tattered wings on the outermost layer of the dead shell were the first to be hung on the Extinction Dragon’s wings. Jié Jié’s body was also pierced by several sharp black thorns.
The true Corpse Suit Dragons couldn’t participate in the melee, but they seemed to have all become “Corpse Suit Dragons.”
Facing a four-legged, two-winged opponent with only two legs and one wing was too much of a disadvantage, so Jié Jié began leading the Extinction Dragon deeper into the Valley of Miasma while fighting and retreating.
He had experienced how terrifying the miasma was in the depths and didn’t believe the Extinction Dragon could be completely immune to it.
Just like how she would still get poisoned.
Purple toxic saliva dripped from the mouth of the Extinction Dragon, slowing her attacks slightly.
She should retreat when reaching deeper areas, especially since the Master of the Corpse Membrane was watching closely nearby.
He always believed in Sister Flathead Monkey!
Taking advantage of the Extinction Dragon’s pause to regain breath, a stormy Breath Weapon erupted from Jié Jié’s mouth, enveloping her while efficiently gathering the miasma.
Then he directly jumped down from the edge of the arena after confirming the landing spot wouldn’t be too deep.
The Spiny Dragon landed heavily and walked away, its gaze fixed on the direction he fell, waiting for the Extinction Dragon to chase.
“Hooooowwwl!”
Before the Extinction Dragon arrived, the Flathead Monkey already present in the Valley of Miasma pounced onto his back and started biting.
Jié Jié shook his body but soon stopped and let it tear at the dead shell.
This dead shell had already been torn apart during the fight with the Extinction Dragon, revealing the red-glowing new shell underneath.
“Hooowwrrr!”
The Extinction Dragon flapped its wings and descended from the air, without hesitation launching a dive attack upon seeing him.
Thorn-Breaking Extinction Sky Spin!
“Boom!”
Under the fatal blow of the fully black-thorned Extinction Dragon, the Grim Claw Dragon on Jié Jié’s back died instantly, turning the Flathead Monkey into a jam, split between the Spiny Dragon and the Extinction Dragon.
The “purity” of the Corpse Suit Dragon increased.
Thanks to the heroic sacrifice of the Grim Claw Dragon, Jié Jié avoided severe injuries from this fatal blow but consumed a large amount of stamina.
The Extinction Dragon was the same; its black thorns shattered everywhere as it panted on the spot, glaring at him with red eyes.
Jié Jié’s stamina recovered first under the activated miasma, and he took two steps towards the Extinction Dragon for another Dragon Charge.
The Extinction Dragon didn’t yield either, lowering its head and charging forward on all fours towards the incoming Spiny Dragon.
In this mutual charge, four-wheel drive clearly showed more pure love than two-wheel drive, directly pinning Jié Jié against the wall.
He raised his head, but the head of the Extinction Dragon pressing against his chest tilted upward, its horns locking onto the Spiny Dragon’s neck to restrain him.
As the Extinction Dragon pushed against the wall with force, Jié Jié was plowed along the wall to the ground, leaving the Grim Claw Dragon jam and the dead shell smeared on the wall.
Jié Jié was thrown out and crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
“Hoooowwwl!”
The Extinction Dragon approached with a grotesque expression, flapping its wings slightly to disperse the dust, revealing the predestined “father” inside.
Exactly as expected, battered and bruised but not on the verge of d*ath.
“Crack.”
Jié Jié twisted his uncomfortable neck; the dead shell was all gone, revealing the newly grown shell beneath covered in bright patterns.
The newborn shell was still the dark green color of energy sedimentation but looked much better than before.
The only regret was that the previous strike had ground down most of the spines on his back.
“Grunt Roar!!!”
The one-winged veteran Spiny Dragon roared as it stood upright. The heat accumulated earlier had long been stored in the Flame Bag, erupting forth in a pillar of fire.
The Extinction Dragon charged forward under the pillar of fire but was soon submerged by the increasingly intense flames.
Scales and skin slightly warmed, the outermost layer baked to a faint glaze-like shine.
Being caught in the pillar of fire made the Extinction Dragon close its eyes and slightly turn its body, using its wings as shields.
As the pillar of fire dissipated along with the heat from the Spiny Dragon’s body, the bloody patterns on its shell dimmed.
Unlike before, the patterns did not fade from the Spiny Dragon’s shell but remained like a permanent brand.
The shell with patterns suddenly changed texture. Ochre-yellow shells bulged and layered, dazzling fur protruded alongside golden thunderbolts.
The disabled Golden Thunder King didn’t roar but leapt high amidst various kinds of lightning.
Jié Jié always knew the Extinction Dragon was weak against thunder, but the Golden Thunder King lacked the Spiny Dragon’s tough shell and could only be used as a finishing move in critical moments.
He had this idea atop the plateau but missed the chance due to sudden changes in the battle situation.
The Extinction Dragon froze under the first breath weapon of the newborn veteran Spiny Dragon. This timing was perfect!
He flipped his body skillfully in the air; the lightning on his back was as radiant as the sun, forcing the Extinction Dragon, which had just opened its eyes, to shut them in panic.
The golden thunder of the Thunder Wolf Dragon King and the thunder cut of the Thunder Jaw Dragon enhanced this body’s functions to the peak, while the azure thunder of the Sea Dragon collected the overflow of the two types of thunder to accumulate strength.
The three different types of thunder were contained within him in the form of energy crystals, allowing the lonely king without subjects to possess terrifying power beyond the truly electrified state.
This power even shattered the electric storage shell on the Golden Thunder King’s back; probably the newly born shell in the veteran Spiny Dragon form couldn’t be preserved either.
But it didn’t matter anymore!
Because he had already landed on the Extinction Dragon.
The golden lightning was covered by the azure lightning sea, and creatures could no longer distinguish the color of the light because their eyes would only see pure white!
The little sister who had been watching from above wailed as she rolled down late to join the battlefield that had already ended.
The Extinction Dragon collapsed, its body twitching slightly.
No longer pretending to be dead, it genuinely fainted from exhaustion, losing the ability to fight.
And the disabled king tooth lay sprawled across her body, Jié Jié also unconscious.
In the end… it was still a fight to the d*ath without retreat…
One could only say, love makes people blind!
The Corpse Suit Dragon struggled to stand up after lying on the ground for a while. Having seen countless dead dragons, she dared not approach the two dragons, only spitting out miasma from afar to finish them off, fulfilling her role as a decomposer.
After waiting for a while, the brute strength of the Ancient Dragon was finally used to drag the two dragon “corpses” to the deeper, more miasmic bottom of the valley.
If they couldn’t live together, then dying in the same grave was also a kind of fulfillment.
Double s*icide…
