Chapter 968 Soar, Stardust Dragon (Seeking Moon Tickets) >>
That giant eagle had somehow vanished from its original position the instant Dak saw it with his naked eye.
Subsequently, without making a sound, it appeared directly above the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess].
This was exactly the same scene as when it first appeared.
What was different was that the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] did not speed up to evade at this moment.
“Gathered prayers will become the new shining star, turning into a path of light! Special summon, soar, Stardust Dragon!”
The radiant [Starry Path] was laid out in the sky. The Stardust Dragon arrived in response to the prayer!
The iron claws of the black giant eagle fiercely grabbed from the roof of the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess], filled with anger accumulated over the journey.
With the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess]’s mere 2500 points of defense, it was like paper against the iron claws.
There was no way for it to block this claw strike.
However, the [Starry Path] descended and blocked the iron claws mid-air. No metallic clash sounded, but the giant eagle’s hateful peck failed.
A nine-star dragon species with both Light and Flying attributes flew out from the [Starry Path].
Its status rose by one tier due to the effect of this “prayer summon,” increasing its mana, attack, and defense by 500 points each, reaching surface data of 5000/5500/5000.
Along with the special summon of the [Stardust Dragon], a [Star Dust Dragonet] was summoned alongside it.
The ferocious dragon species, surrounded by stardust light, stretched its body like a weapon and lunged towards the giant eagle.
“Stardust Dragon, Meteor Sonic Strike!”
Dak did not hesitate at all and issued the command to unleash the strongest ultimate skill!
“Roar——”
The [Stardust Dragon] roared loudly, and high above, a dazzling array of stars lit up—the meteor shower!
“Blind——”
The giant eagle’s cry intertwined with the [Stardust Dragon]’s roar. After its determined grab was blocked, the giant eagle suddenly lowered its head and used its bird beak harder than steel to peck at the [Stardust Dragon]’s head.
In that instant, a peculiar pitch-black light glimmered on its beak.
An evil, filthy aura burst forth suddenly. Although the [Stardust Dragon] was a nine-star magic golem, it couldn’t rely solely on defense to block the attack of this giant eagle, which was at least twelve stars strong.
Moreover, it added a special erosion ability to this attack. Without any unforeseen events, this peck would penetrate the [Stardust Dragon]’s hard scales and explode its skull!
But at the critical moment, the [Star Dust Dragonet] suddenly appeared between them.
The giant eagle’s beak struck the [Star Dust Dragonet]. But this was the fate of the companion dragon.
—It did not die.
Even with the special erosion power added to its beak, it hadn’t surpassed the rules.
—The [Star Dust Dragonet]’s death exemption mechanism triggered every thirty seconds, allowing it to survive unscathed without any harm.
Above, the massive meteor shower was already falling.
The [Stardust Dragon] suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a stream of meteoric light towards the giant eagle.
The ultimate skill [Meteor Sonic Strike] had two stages of attacks: one was the meteor shower from the sky, and the other was a single beam of light from its mouth.
If the meteoric light hit a summoned creature, it would dissolve the summon and return it to its origin.
Of course, the giant eagle wasn’t a summoned creature; it simply endured the full brunt of the “dragon breath.”
The damage wasn’t low.
But the entire black metal eagle displayed extremely terrifying defense.
It suddenly raised its head to look at the falling meteor shower.
Suddenly spreading its wings, the black light emitted from its body formed an impenetrable dark curtain, blocking the powerful meteor shower!
At this moment.
The [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] had distanced itself. The [Stardust Dragon] continued to fight with the giant eagle. Their basic strength was uneven.
But the [Stardust Dragon] used the [Star Dust Dragonet] to always block the giant eagle’s concentrated attacks, causing the latter to feel frustrated, unable to find a way to exert its strength.
After Dak put away the [Demon King · Eldridge], he followed the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess] completely away from the battlefield.
Using the [Stardust Dragon] was enough to hold off the giant eagle.
If Dak found Aurora after this, he would have to deal with it accordingly!
The road ahead was not peaceful either.
Although the giant eagle was mostly incapacitated after being held back by the [Stardust Dragon],
creatures similar to the giant eagle and spiders were not uncommon in this domain. However, none of them were as persistent as the giant eagle.
After relying on the [Chariot of the Moon Goddess]’s speed to shake them off, they focused their attention on the next prey.
And Dak finally saw the [Pollution] on this road. He witnessed living beings feeding on the thin black mist floating in the air and saw enormous squid-like creatures perched atop a hill covered in pollution.
The squid was not afraid of the [Pollution]; instead, it adapted to its erosion.
And that hill was where Dak first saw the place with the most [Pollution].
The appearance of the [Pollution] further confirmed that this was the [Heavenly Court].
Only now, the [Heavenly Court] had long been severed from its past.
While Dak searched for Aurora,
the three teams within the flesh tunnel began to doubt whether the tunnel had an end, but eventually reached the end of the tunnel!
But their doubts did not dissipate.
Instead, they grew even stronger.
They encountered unexpected people at the end of the flesh tunnel. The pumpkin carriage flying in front stopped amidst the watchful eyes. The following team members gradually slowed down.
Professor Shylph pushed open the door and stepped out from the carriage of the pumpkin carriage.
She stood on the platform, her gaze heavy as she looked ahead.
Bishop Sabrina Melville, riding a unicorn, came beside her.
Their gazes bypassed the obstructing elemental race and fell on the end of the flesh tunnel—where countless pieces of flesh and writhing buds were piled up, thick blood vessels tightly bound together, as if blood still flowed inside.
