Chapter 280: [Dragon]

Chapter 279: [Dragon]

Shien really was quite surprised at that moment.

“It’s a dragon?”

Indeed.

The demonic beast that Shien knocked from the air in one blow was a dragon.

It’s completely pitch black, clearly covered in scales, at least 100 meters long, with four thick and sturdy limbs, and sharp claws. Anyone would be quite terrified to it.

It’s pair of dragon wings are extremely large and thick, like it could cover the sky itself. When fully spread out, it could probably reach over a 100 meters in width as well.

It’s head is like a vicious crocodile’s, and it’s dragon eyes are vicious beyond comparison, to the point where no one would dare to meet its eyes.

Shien learned of its level through the [Appraisal] skill.

———— [ Lv.93].

It’s already over level 90.

Only…

“Doesn’t its status seem a bit strange here?”

Shien frowned deeply.

Taking a closing look, that black dragon who slammed into the ground was constantly struggling. Its magic power is extremely chaotic, and it’s body looked like something was rampaging inside of it, making parts of its body constantly extending out and back in. It looked quite horrifying.

Plus, ever time its magic power rampages, every time a bump extends out from its body, its level will also fluctuate along with it.

Shien clearly saw it. The dragon’s level would sometimes rise several times, and sometimes it would fall. It’s at level 93 at the lowest point, and at the highest point, it would rise to level 99, almost reaching max level.

Seeing the black dragon like this, Shien had a flash of insight and instantly realized why this was happening.

“It’s resisting the Demon Refining ritual?”

That’s right.

The black dragon is currently resisting the Demon Refining ritual.

It’s mind was nearly lost, but it still hasn’t completely gone berserk just yet. It’s still barely holding on to a scrap of its mind.

It seemed to have killed quite a few refining demons and absorbed their magic power and flesh. However, even so, it was unwilling to become a refining demon and thus was constantly rejecting the magic power and flesh of the refining demons that it had absorbed. That’s why its magic power was in such turmoil, why its body was shifting like that, and why its level was fluctuating up and down so unstably.

The dragon’s real level should be 93. The reason why it would suddenly rise is all because of the magic power and flesh of the refining demons inside its body.

If it had completely absorbed those magic power and flesh, it could probably directly rise to level 99, right?

But the cost for such a thing is that it would turn into a disgusting refining demon, a completely mindless monster, and then, in the end, become a mere sacrifice for the Demon Lord spawn and be devoured by it.

“If it manages to devour such a sacrifice, then that Demon Lord spawn would end up quite terrifyingly powerful.”

Shien realized this point and turned extremely serious.

“Roar!”

Yet, that black dragon continued to struggle while roaring painfully, suppressing the magic power and flesh within it with all its might.

Obviously, it doesn’t want to become a refining demon, and it wanted to become a sacrifice even less.

Of course the most important part is that its pride won’t allow it to fall and become such a thing.

From its roars, Shien could hear its stubbornness, its determination, and an unrelenting will that refuses to submit.

“Amazing. As expected of the lord who had reigned over the Ataru Canyon for 400 years. It really does possess something like the atmosphere of a dragon king.”

Shien was quite impressed with the dragon.

Originally, Shien was actually considering killing the dragon himself in order to deny the Demon Lord Spawn such a great sacrifice.

Now though, Shien decided to save its life.

“Heresu!”

Thus, Shien drew the Holy Sword at his waist and unsealed it without hesistation.

“Ping!”

Following the release of the first seal, the Holy Sword once again shined with brilliant light, illuminating the area.

“Roar-!!!”

The black dragon seemed to have noticed the threat to it and let out a roar in Shien’s direction.

“What are you roaring about?” Shien grinned, “I’m helping you here, you big dummy.”

With that, Shien suddenly shot forth like an arrow toward the direction of the black dragon.

“Boom!”

Seeing Shien fly toward it at such a terrifying speed, the black dragon opened its terrible maw without hesitation and breathed out a jet of blazing hot fire breath.

That, naturally, was dragon breath.

The dragon breath that is said to be able to pierce all defenses thus moved to envelop Shien.

Shien didn’t dare to meet it straight on either.

The Holy Sword only had its first seal released, so it can only weaken all damage by half. Resistance skills are also useless against dragon breath. If Shien were to charge right into the dragon breath, then he’d definitely end up quite burned even if he managed to survive.

Thus, while Shien continued to charge forth, he also imbued his Holy Sword with [Magic Sword], making the Holy Sword shine with a golden blade of magic power.

Then, Shien raised his Holy Sword into the air and slashed down toward the oncoming dragon breath with a mighty blow.

“Whoosh!”

The golden [Magic Sword] cleanly cut through the dragon breath, splitting it in two and forcing them to pass by Shien’s sides and into the empty air.

Shien used his Holy Sword, imbued with [Magic Sword], to cut through the dragon breath like a rock splitting apart the waves. Thus, he quickly approached the black dragon as he sliced through the dragon breath.

“Enchant – Exhaustion].”

Shien cast an enchantment upon the black dragon beneath it.

Just like it says on the tin, it’s a spell that’s specifically for use against living being which forcefully exhausts its target, robing them of their stamina and magic power.

Although it’s only a mid class enchantment, under the might of Shien’s unfairly powerful magic power, the effect is naturally even more terrifying than most normal high class spells.

“Roar!”

The dragon could feel its stamina and magic power draining away at a rapid pace and started roaring out in alarm.

“[Enchant – Speed Up].”

Shien cast a new enchantment in order to prevent the black dragon from getting the chance to struggle or counterattack, and the target of said enchantment as the “exhaustion” status that he had just laid on the dragon.

Any other mage who managed to witness such a thing would have unquestionable been shocked.

To cast an enchantment onto a spell. This is something that has never happened before.

Shien however had succeeded in doing so.

With the [Magic – Enchant] skilled leveled up to the max, Shien can even do something like that.

Thus, the “exhaustion” turned even more aggressive under the effect of “speed up”. Thus, the black dragon’s stamina and magic power was drained away at an even more alarming pace.

The black dragon just felt its strength abandon it and finally fell to the ground despite its wishes, unable to get back up anymore.

This made the black dragon feel like its end has finally come.

“Roar-!!!”

Thus, at the very end, the black dragon let out a pained roar filled with regret.

“Boom!”

Just then, the magic power and flesh within the black dragon finally went out of control.

Without the black dragon suppressing it, it’s only natural that the magic power and flesh would rampage out of control, immediately trying to meld into the dragon and turn it into a refining demon.

Unfortunately for it…

“The situation has change, my lord.”

Shien grinned and quickly laid a hand onto the black dragon’s body as he erupted with a shocking amount of magic power.

The sheer might of that magic power made the black dragon open its eyes wide in surprise.

And at that moment, Shien had already activated a skill that he hasn’t used in a long while – [Taming].

Vast amounts of magic power immediately flowed into the black dragon’s body in a special manner.
