Chapter 283: Chapter 273: Slay the Dragon!
A mysterious atmosphere enveloped the entire lake, where moonlight spilled onto the waters within this otherworldly space, creating a faint silver glow. The moon’s reflection on the water seemed like a window to another world.
The giant black dragon high above had exhausted its spiritual power to completely heal those two fierce wounds.
One wound was from a lava sword belonging to Marquis Vlad; the other was from an attack by Chris.
It had consumed a great deal of spiritual power.
Byrne and Chris stood atop the lake’s surface, fearlessly confronting the enormous black dragon!
Byrne’s declaration that he would kill it within “ten minutes” actually had a good reason.
Because he knew very well that both sides could not stay in this space forever.
After ten minutes, the chance that the black dragon, burdened with hatred and sin, bound by a Forbidden rare artifact, would return straight to hell was very high.
Then, it would become very difficult for them to find each other.
So Byrne made the judgment that he must kill Black Ash within ten minutes!
Time was ticking away, he paused for a moment and quickly reminded:
“Chris, absolutely cannot let me get hurt, or else it will win the so-called ritual, and we will suffer very painful consequences!”
“We only have ten minutes, we must kill it within these ten minutes!”
Chris didn’t speak.
He simply nodded slightly.
Countdown Timer.
The countdown began.
Soon, Chris’s figure leapt up like a phantom, and his twin blades instantly turned into a whirlwind of flashing lights.
However, the silver-haired man was quickly swatted down from the air by Black Ash’s claw.
Even though Black Ash only had half the strength of a low-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponent, its base values still far exceeded Chris’s; it was still an overwhelmingly strong opponent that Chris couldn’t face head on.
But Chris’s action was just a probe, so he didn’t suffer too many injuries.
“We’ll go together!”
Byrne created a Body Double for dodging attacks, already making up his mind.
In the time to come, he would not keep evading but would join Chris in battle!
“Hmm.”
Chris nodded again, not refusing.
He leaped into the air and launched another attack!
However, this time Chris unleashed his extraordinary power.
Black flames, the Fire of Sin, burst out instantly on Black Ash’s massive body, causing it unbearable pain and to roar angrily, spewing black flames of its own.
Those flames swiftly enveloped the area, like a wave of fire about to swallow Chris whole.
However, Byrne used “Instantaneous Transfer” to move Chris far away, easily avoiding the black flames.
Worried that “Battle Chains” and the “Horn of Destruction” would lead to the ritual being deemed a “gambling failure,” he didn’t consider using them.
“Aaargh! Despicable mortals! Struggle!”
The roaring black dragon, filled with a murderous aura, suddenly plunged toward Byrne on the ground, but in the next moment, the human on the ground had already swapped places with the prepared Chris through “Shape-shifting.”
The baffled Black Ash ended up face-to-face with Chris.
“What!”
Eyes of Conviction!
Chris once again activated his extraordinary power, judging the giant dragon that had done evil for thousands of years!
The black dragon, rendered immobile in an instant, fell straight from the sky, crashing onto the surface of the water, and causing a massive splash!
Byrne extended his hand toward the black dragon, unable to move, and bursts of emerald Sword Qi erupted, striking the proud and angry Black Ash without any chance for evasion, hurtling it into grave injury.
“Aaargh!”
“Damn humans!”
It struggled with difficulty to escape the illusion caused by its sins, continually exhausting its spiritual power to heal its wounds, its eyes filled with rage.
“Advantage is with us, thankfully most Monarch Level mysterious creatures do not have domains,”
“We will win!”
Byrne couldn’t help remarking, then without speaking, he and Chris, one to the left and the other to the right, distanced themselves and attacked the giant black dragon from two directions!
But just at that moment, the black dragon suddenly soared high into the sky, beating its enormously large wings, and in no time it had risen to nearly a thousand meters high.
It looked down upon the two from on high.
Control of the skies.
Undoubtedly a very significant advantage.
Byrne and Chris immediately stopped, exchanging glances. Byrne shook his head, so Chris refrained from directly employing his trump card.
“Roar!”
The furious black dragon bellowed, loudly saying, “You descendants of a cold-blooded swindler, fishermen of the East Coast, you have provoked my wrath!”
“Witness! I shall make the true hell appear above your heads!”
Black Ash in the high sky chanted complex and obscure ancient incantations, continuously murmuring under its breath. Though it lacked domain power, every mature giant dragon is born with the ability to cast spells.
