Chapter 328 Gamblers and Shortcuts (1/2)

Haltharad soaked its body in the spiritual lava in the volcano, its mind was a mess. It could not remember how long had it been the overlord in this world... It had been years. There was almost n.o.body that could take it on in this world ever since it leveled to gold flame-level. Gold flame-level was the highest level that this world could accommodate. As a double mutated sky dragon, its ability made it the best in this little world. If the stupid Shadowflame Boa did not listen to what the cunning Golden Toad said and fought it, it would have been the ruler of this world.

It did not expect there to be anyone that was the same as itself, a gold flame-level that was even more powerful to exist in this world. As a double mutated dragonkin sky dragon, it was confident that even if it encountered a triple mutated monster that was the same level, it would win as well. However, Haltharad had a taste of failure today. It was its first time it tasted defeat ever since it achieved gold flame-level. Its opponent was a human that was similar in level to itself but it could not even handle a single hit from this human.

The human girl who looked rather young with a pet.i.te body was as powerful as a G.o.d, making it difficult for anyone to find it in themselves to fight her. Its body was shaking as it recalled the moment when it was almost killed by her, it was a reflection that came from fear. However, fear was not the only thing, hatred burned inside it as well.

”That d.a.m.ned human girl forced me to shed my carapace. Now, my combat strength had dropped two levels and I have to hide in this freaking place!” Haltharad said to itself. It did not dare to say it too loud as it was afraid that others would find out about the humiliation it felt.

The temporary degradation to its power was the side-effect of its shedding Life Skill, it would last for 72 hours. Not only that, its body would be weak for three days, even its defensive ability would drop two levels. Many of its skills and Life Skills that required Life Power would be deactivated. It was afraid that it might be attacked by blue flame-level monsters, that was why it was hiding.

”Two days more…” Haltharad stared deadly in the air.

”If I can’t fight you, I’ll kill you with a monster crowd! Not only you, all humans will have to pay the price!”

…

”Where is the black dragon hiding?” Lin Huang asked immediately when he heard about the black dragon from b.l.o.o.d.y.

”It’s hiding in a spiritual volcano, it’s very weak right now. I think it’s badly injured, its aura had dropped to the that of a blue flame-level monster.” b.l.o.o.d.y told its observation.

”A blue flame-level monster…” Lin Huang was tempted. He knew very well that it was the side-effect of shedding its carapace but it would only last for three days and its combat strength would go back to normal. By then, it would be impossible to kill such a monster.

”One day has pa.s.sed out of its three days of weakness. I need to find it within these two days or else I’ll lose the opportunity.” Lin Huang squinted, he was thinking if he should look for the black dragon. Even though its power had dropped by two levels, the ability of the Molten Dragon was not to be underestimated. Lin Huang’s concern was not its ability but more of what he would get if he was to kill the black dragon.

”Xiao Hei, what kind of rewards will I get if I manage to achieve a double cross-ranking kill?” Lin Huang asked.

”Normal cross-ranking kill - Random Reward Card x1!”

”Double cross-ranking kill - Draw Reward Card x1!”

”Triple cross-ranking kill - Draw Reward Card x3!”

”Quadruple cross-ranking kill - Draw Reward Card x5!”
