Chapter 259: Though lacking in granularity, it excels in sheer size.
Jie Jie was directly slapped into the seabed by a top-down strike, shaking up a heap of crushed underwater ruins.
Two hard stick-like objects behind him had gouged into his back, but surprisingly, they hadn’t shattered upon impact.
After flipping himself back up from the seabed and retreating to the side, Jie Jie finally saw what had gouged him.
Two thick black cone-shaped objects were mounted on the edge of an underwater ruin, exposed due to their battle.
Through the passage of time, it was impossible to determine the exact location of this underwater ruin, but based on the structure behind these rods, he could tell what they were.
Strike Dragon Guns.
Ultra-Large Strike Dragon Guns left over from ancient civilization.
These were weapons created throughout history by humans to defend important villages against large monster attacks.
By luring monsters to the position of the Strike Dragon Gun and activating the control device, two massive and long weapons would thrust out at high speed after spinning, using pure force to break through the scales and shells of monsters, causing severe damage.
Such attacks might not kill some powerful monsters, but the sudden severe damage would be enough to repel them.
The two Strike Dragon Guns before him were black, dull, and not sharp, lacking the granular feel of modern Strike Dragon Guns with numerous blade protrusions. But they excelled in sheer size!
Holy crap! I want to play with this thing!
The massive mechanical structure drew most of Jie Jie’s attention away from the Great Sea Dragon as he began tinkering with where the switch might be.
Above the Strike Dragon Gun, Jie Jie found a big button. This button…
It should work, right? It must work!
At that moment, the angry Great Sea Dragon charged over, but because Jie Jie was slightly off-center above the Strike Dragon Gun button.
Worried about missing this possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Jie Jie resumed his skirmish with the Great Sea Dragon, hoping to expose more weaknesses and opportunities.
Narrowly avoiding the Great Sea Dragon, its massive body was extremely agile in the water, tossing Jie Jie around like a ball.
But before being tossed, he always managed to hit the Great Sea Dragon’s vulnerable spots.
After feeling like a ball, Jie Jie started transforming, attempting to pierce the Great Sea Dragon fiercely in the form of a Lamp Fish Dragon.
Upon discovering that the Great Sea Dragon’s shell was harder than the Lamp Fish Dragon’s needles, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up.
On land, the Great Sea Dragon would have been rolled around like a wooden stake by now.
After several skirmishes, the Great Sea Dragon pulled away again and began a big inhale.
Noticing this, Jie Jie adjusted his position, keeping the Strike Dragon Gun behind him, waiting for the right opportunity.
Soon, everything aligned; he, the Strike Dragon Gun, and the Great Sea Dragon formed a straight line.
As expected, the Great Sea Dragon’s high-pressure water cannon pushed him directly toward the Strike Dragon Gun.
“Whoa!”
Jie Jie sucked in a breath, having collided with the Strike Dragon Gun again, his back hurting from the pressure.
But this was the perfect position anticipated, all that was needed was for the Great Sea Dragon to charge!
The Great Sea Dragon didn’t notice anything amiss, charging toward him as usual.
Feeling the water currents from the Great Sea Dragon’s charge getting closer, seizing the perfect timing, Jie Jie gathered his wings and performed a jellyfish jump, landing directly on the activation button of the Strike Dragon Gun and pressing it down forcefully!
It has to work! If it doesn’t, I’ll dismantle it!
The ancient machinery emitted a decayed rumble, but the mission for which the Strike Dragon Gun was created was never forgotten.
In any era, this was humanity’s most effective weapon against various large monsters during crises.
Even after the passage of time, activated by something non-human, it faced monsters, and that was enough.
Impurities lodged in the mechanical gaps were crushed, broken gears continued to spin, layering up speed.
The monster medulla once infused within had rotted into ash, but it did not hinder the two ancient Strike Dragon Guns from shooting directly at the Great Sea Dragon before them!
The prolonged corrosion of seawater couldn’t completely destroy it, and the resistance of seawater now couldn’t stop it either!
Jie Jie felt as if he could hear a loud sound beneath the sea, the familiar first half of the Hero’s Proof ringing in his ears.
“Cool!”
The high-speed rotating Strike Dragon Gun directly ground off the well-developed right horn of the Great Sea Dragon that had endured his repeated attacks, colliding the Great Sea Dragon itself and sending it flying, falling toward the seabed.
This was definitely a Strike Dragon Gun specifically made for ultra-large monsters, thick and long enough to potentially reach from the top of the Great Sea Dragon’s head to its lower abdomen.
Unfortunately, the two Strike Dragon Guns only retracted halfway, unevenly, before jamming, seemingly using up their last bit of power.
Gently patting the Strike Dragon Gun, Jie Jie swam down to check on the Great Sea Dragon.
The ancient Strike Dragon Gun was blunt, and the monster had an instinctive reaction; though it struck the head, it couldn’t achieve the fantasy of piercing straight from the mouth to the uterus.
The Great Sea Dragon merely collapsed on the seabed, briefly unconscious. Since there were two Strike Dragon Guns, besides the damaged right horn, the left horn also showed cracks from the impact.
“Not symmetrical, let me help you fix that.”
At this moment, the Great Sea Dragon wasn’t moving, so Jie Jie directly hugged its left horn, continuously applying force with both the tentacles on his wings and his forelimbs, trying to snap off its left horn too.
The cracks expanded slightly, seeing hope, Jie Jie entered the Lightning Attribute Release State without caring about potential harm to himself.
Electric light wrapped around his body then contracted, all energy surged out at once!
A multitude of tiny bubbles erupted upward with the explosion, the seawater inside the cracks of the Great Sea Dragon’s horn also exploded, expanding the cracks.
Without letting up, Jie Jie snapped off the Great Sea Dragon’s left horn from its skull.
Good, now it’s symmetrical.
How about we just—
The commotion woke the Great Sea Dragon from its faint. With a massive movement, it sprang off the seabed, sensing the newfound lightness on its head.
Glancing at the Abyssal Wave Dragon, it didn’t care about the lost horns and swam away.
Seeing the Great Sea Dragon’s agility underwater, Jie Jie didn’t chase but instead counted his current gains.
Both horns of the Great Sea Dragon were plucked off, and within the particularly developed right horn, the Abyss Dragon Gem was shimmering with light.
The battle hadn’t lasted long; he should still make it in time for Mojia Village’s banquet.
Swallowing the Abyss Dragon Gem, the Abyssal Wave Dragon form immediately felt an increase in gill organ oxygen exchange.
This meant—
Jie Jie ended his rise and fall in the abyss, surfaced, transformed into a Spiny Dragon, and flew up, taking a deep breath in the air.
Massive lung capacity boost!
Other monster forms could now stay active underwater for longer periods.
