Chapter 972 - Shadowy Black Dragon (2/2)

“Dark Shroud!”

Qin Feng morphed into a shade of shadow and phased through the seal. Finally, he could see what was being hidden—a small black hill, made of dark runes. When he took a closer look, it looked like a massive dragon that was resting on the ground.

Perhaps it had detected Qin Feng’s presence, the dragon that was formed by dark runes locked onto Qin Feng before breathing out dark energy from its mouth.

“Roaar!”

Qin Feng quickly stepped backward while shielding himself using his internal energy shield and dark rune barrier.

It did not take long before the dark breath dismantled the dark rune barrier. Now, all that was left was the internal energy shield.

Vooophmm!!

“Hang on!”

Qin Feng willed up his nine starglobes and strengthened his internal energy shield by nine layers! Now, his originally ten-centimeter barrier had been reinforced to one-meter thick.

However, the dragon’s breath was getting stronger and stronger, continuing on to deplete Qin Feng’s shield.

When his internal energy shield was about to be completely crushed, Bai Li extended her hand from the void and grabbed Qin Feng into it.

In the next moment, the entire place that Qin Feng was standing at earlier had completely turned into utter darkness.

Inside the void, cold sweats were rolling down on Qin Feng’s back. This was the first time he had witnessed exactly how dangerous an S-tier creature could be. He had underestimated his foe.

“No… this can’t be. That was not an S-tier ability. There’s no way an S-tier has such power!”

Then, there was only one explanation left.

It was an ability that was unleashed by an SS-tier…!

It took about ten minutes before everything calmed down. What made this whole thing even more eerie was that the surrounding areas, aside from the obvious increase in dark runes, did not seem to be affected much by the dragon’s breath earlier.

“This dark dragon’s ability is probably a type of specter. A Champion’s consciousness.” Bai Li said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng finally understood.

If this dragon was a specter, would that mean that killing it would allow him to master that ability?

“Let’s pull back and observe from a distance.”

“Okay!”

They then retreated away via the void to the spot where Nuah and Drakao met earlier. The seal was still unaffected.

After observing for a while, Qin Feng noticed that this black dragon seemed to be a blob of unstable dark energies—he could see dark runes hovering in and out of the dragon’s body from time to time.

This reminded Qin Feng of the runes carved onto the stone tablet in the realm of the Snow Ladies.

Thus, Qin Feng carefully activated his Absorption Ability again.

If this worked like he theorized, he could use his conscious energy as a bait to attract the runes. Sure enough, the runes began to be fished out by Qin Feng’s consciousness. And he was able to fish out about one thousand dark runes in one go.

One thousand dark runes seemed like a lot; but it was just a small portion from the black dragon’s body.

Seeing this, a beam of smile curved up on Qin Feng’s face.

“Absorb!”

The runes were then absorbed into Qin Feng’s consciousness before fishing up more dark runes from the black dragon.
