Chapter 874 The Source of the Monster Horde (2/2)
”What a terrifying aura! That dragon must be at least a Virtual G.o.d!” Lin Huang and b.l.o.o.d.y hid behind the other volcano and watched the dragon quietly.
”Why are both of you hiding? This Nightmare Dragon has been dead for a long time. It's just a carca.s.s now.” The stone tablet's thick voice came into Lin Huang's ears all of a sudden.
”Are you sure it's really a carca.s.s and not just sleeping?” Lin Huang felt the compelling aura of that giant dragon. He found it hard to believe that it was already dead.
”Of course, it's a carca.s.s! Why do you think that a True G.o.d wouldn't have noticed you when you're so close to it?” The stone tablet asked him back as if he was stupid.
”Maybe it noticed us, but couldn't be bothered to do anything because we're too weak.” Although Lin Huang was in doubt, he believed the stone tablet.
”Do you still want the G.o.d Figurine?” The stone tablet did not want to argue with Lin Huang so it brought that up right away.
”Yes!” Lin Huang answered without thinking twice.
”This dragon carca.s.s is actually a G.o.d Figurine,” revealed the stone tablet, ”It's just that it still has the very last remnant of will which is the reason why it isn't in the form of a G.o.d Figurine.”
”Do you mean I'll have to fight this true G.o.d-level giant dragon in order to obtain the G.o.d Figurine?” Lin Huang was speechless to hear that. He did not think he could win.
”You don't fight it. You fight the gush of will that it has left,” corrected the stone tablet.
”What's the difference?”
”The difference is that it's just a gush of will.”
”You might as well not answer me…”
”Its gush of will extremely weak now. In fact, it's so weak that it can't drive this dragon carca.s.s to fight. It's just using some sort of ability that the dragon carca.s.s had when it was still alive. The ability's restricted due to the strength of the will.”
Lin Huang finally understood the stone tablet after the explanation. He was finally relieved. ”So, what should I do?”
”Simple. Turn back to a human, activate this gush of will, then destroy it! As soon as this last gush of will disappears, this dragon carca.s.s will turn into a harmless G.o.d Figurine.”
”Can I destroy it directly without activating it?” Lin Huang asked shamelessly. He could actually guess the answer to this question but he could not help asking anyway.
”You wis.h.!.+” The stone tablet teased then explained in all seriousness, ”Your will has to be tens of folds more powerful than this dragon's will when it was still alive in order to destroy its current will directly. Without activating the gush of will, it'll stay in this dragon carca.s.s forever. It might take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to fade away slowly on its own.”
”Alright then…” Lin Huang looked helpless as he knew that was the answer he would get anyway. ”So, how do I destroy it?”
”Just keep fighting it. When it's activated, it'll drain itself every minute and second. Fighting will only speed up the draining.”
”So, how long does it take to destroy it completely?” Lin Huang proceeded to ask.
”From the intensity of its will that I can sense, it'll take three days at the most for it to be completely drained as long as it stays activated. If it's in battle mode, the duration will be shortened by heaps. It might not even be able to take it for a day if the fight's intense enough.”
'You sound like you're making it up,' Lin Huang thought to himself secretly, but he did not seem to have any other option now.
If he did not do anything now, it would be harder for him to do it the next day when the monster horde leveled up to peak-stage ascendance-level. The chance of achieving this would be even slimmer.
After some thought to himself, Lin Huang finally made up his mind.
”Let's do it for the G.o.d Figurine!”
