Chapter Sixty-Eight: Visitor from Dragon Island

The howling gale swept in.
Facing the Dragon Wing Strike launched by the little girl, Soren’s expression was not as panicked as before; he rolled and slipped back into the shadows, quickly disappearing into the twisted darkness. No profession could withstand a Dragon Wing Strike; even a wizard with a legendary force field or a barbarian engaged in a legendary frenzy would struggle against the ferocious blow of a giant dragon. However, not being able to endure it did not mean he couldn’t dodge. It was not difficult for Soren to use Shadow Leap and Shadow Travel to evade the attack.
—”Shadow Leap!”
The terrifying dragon wing attack swept across the entire altar, and the little girl’s chest slightly rose and fell, her breathing becoming somewhat hurried.
This kind of attack was also a significant burden for the giant dragon!
“Huh?”
The little girl’s figure soared into the air, tilting her head as she looked below, muttering softly, “Hiding again? What good things do you have on you? I can’t even force you to show up!”
Anti-Detection Cloak.
Although it could not help Soren avoid detection from area attacks, it had kept him in an invisible state that the naked eye could not see.
The terrain was somewhat unfavorable for him.
If it weren’t for the desert area easily revealing outlines, Soren would have had a greater advantage in battle.
“Hehe!”
The little girl carefully surveyed her surroundings, and it seemed she had an energy protective field around her. She paused for a moment and then took another deep breath, puffing up her small cheeks.
Still dragon breath!?
Wasn’t the dragon’s breath supposed to require recovery time? How could she launch a dragon breath attack twice in a row?!
—”Dragon Breath: Sleep Gas!”
A strange breath spewed from the little girl’s mouth, instantly enveloping a large area.
Two types of dragon breath!
An adult giant dragon with excellent talent could master two different types of dragon breath; one is elemental breath, while the other is gas breath.
For example, a silver dragon can produce ice breath and paralyzing gas breath.
The area covered by the gas was considerable.
Soren was almost instantly affected, and a series of data appeared before him:
“Received dragon breath attack!…”
“You have been attacked by dragon breath: Sleep Gas!… Triggering mandatory saving throw!… Fortitude saving throw passed!… Will saving throw passed!…”
“You are completely immune to this dragon breath effect!…”
Ineffective.
After long periods of intense training to enhance his saving throws, Soren finally experienced a day of reward. He successfully immunized the effects of the sleep breath.
“Ugh!”
The little girl took a breath in midair, murmuring, “Still no use? I unexpectedly found this guy is a bit strong!”
—”Shadow Leap!”
A distorted figure appeared on her left side, Soren’s shadow suddenly soared into the air, and the flickering meteor flames in his palm surged forth like a tempest. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Faced with this bizarre little girl who completely overturned his previous attempts, he could only passively wait until she exhausted part of her power before striking back.
Boom!
The violent explosion sounded.
Mayoufu Meteor’s powerful penetration capability successfully broke through the energy protective field. However, in dragon wing transformation, the little girl immediately wrapped her petite body with her massive dragon wings upon sensing the danger. As a result, nearly all the attacks landed on the brass-colored immense wings, and in fact, the damage to her form was minimal.
—”Hide from Sight!”
—”Shadow Travel!”
Soren’s figure landed instantly, then appeared from underneath the little girl’s massive wing shadow. He was like a taut war bow, suddenly leaping into the air and directly stabbing upward toward the enemy with his blade.
The giant wings slightly opened.
The petite figure emerged.
A somewhat tattered flowery princess dress fluttered in the wind as Soren soared from below, the curved blade reflecting a cold light, lightly brushing against her toes before Soren twisted his body and retracted his blade. He tapped his toes on the massive dragon wing and then slowly landed like a wild goose.
“Ah!!!”
When the blade tip touched her sole, the little girl’s entire body trembled, but the ensuing pain did not come. Soren had perfectly controlled his strength; he merely brushed past her without even breaking the skin.
The other party did not want to harm her!
Yes.
Soren did not intend to harm her, and he did not have absolute confidence in defeating her. Since she could transform and possess the dragon’s strong recovery abilities, it was likely she also had the terrifying defensive capabilities of a dragon. If that were the case, Soren’s attack would only lightly injure her, while enraging her could lead to her transforming into her dragon form, which would greatly reduce his chances of victory.
This little girl was probably no slouch; she could be a biological level 25 or higher brass dragon.
A gust of wind swept by.
The little girl’s figure swooped down from midair, landing directly in front of Soren, her small face flushed, her little hands covering the hem of her dress, her expression a mix of shyness and anger: “What did you just see?”
What did I see?
Hearing this, Soren frowned. What else could he have seen but battling you?
His mind briefly drifted.
Soren instinctively recalled the scene from just now and instantly realized he might have actually seen something!
Damn!
No way.
Seeing Soren’s expression, a blush appeared on the little girl’s face, and she stared at him with wide, dissatisfied eyes, her small face showing an indignant expression.
Soren felt somewhat at a loss; he silently took a step back, muttering, “What a surprise.”
“Besides, you giant dragons fly around all day with your bare bottoms exposed, isn’t that the same thing?”
Hmph!
The little girl glared at him, seemingly wanting to bite him in anger, even grinding her teeth, but in the end, she held back, her face flushed: “You!… You’re the one flying around with your bare bottom!…”
The physiological structure of dragons.
Although Soren had slain dragons a few times, he had never studied them in detail.
But in battle situations, he had seldom noticed obvious weaknesses on the giant dragons. It seemed that the vast majority of places were covered by dragon scales.
Thinking about it this way, it wasn’t flying around bare-bottomed.
However!
Soren looked at the little girl in front of him, his expression becoming somewhat strange, secretly thinking, “You just absolutely flew around bare-bottomed!”
He naturally did not dare to say it out loud.
Otherwise, it might really lead to a fight.
The little girl stood there staring at him, then her massive dragon wings gradually disappeared. She raised her pale little hand to adjust her tattered clothes and shot him an unhappy glare, chirping, “I’m leaving.”
“Come back with me.”
Soren hesitated. Her words made him a bit unsure.
“Hmph!”
The little girl turned to look at him, a fiery red elemental crystal appearing in her palm, lightly weighing it in her hand, proudly stating, “You don’t want this thing?”
“I was just playing with you; if I genuinely transformed into dragon form, you might not be able to handle me!”
“If you want it, you’ll have to come back with me first.”
“This thing seems of little use to me, but it’s still part of my collection; if you want it, you must give me something in return!”
At this point, the little girl narrowed her beautiful big eyes, looking Soren up and down, as if searching for treasures on him.
Changing one’s stripes is easy, changing one’s nature is hard.
Soren knew too well the nature of dragons.
However.
It seemed that the little girl really had little hostility, and after hesitating a bit, Soren gently nodded, “Alright.”
This little girl was not simple.
Soren doubted she came from Dragon Island, but in the material plane, there was no kingdom on Dragon Island.
Kingdom of Brass Dragons.
Such a name should not exist in the material plane. The entire multiverse could only refer to a single place called a giant dragon kingdom.
That place was no simple realm.
According to legend, a juvenile dragon with a challenge difficulty of 24 lived in that realm, the Time Dragon.
