173 How to Kill a Dragon Part 2 (1/2)

Nailisi could empathize with Saleen’s anxiety. For a creature like a dragon, forceful impact meaningless. As long as the dragon did not die, it would be able to recover from any type of injury. Once the tiago regained just a little bit of its strength, the four of them would not be able to escape anymore.

Nailisi was left with no choice but to deplete the special energy she had been accumulating for a long time. She cut through the sturdy intestines in the dragon’s stomach and chose the most straightforward route.

Nailisi could feel the beating from the dragon’s powerful heart. It made others feel that it was a fearsome creature which constantly emitted dominant vibes.

The lungs of the dragon were very different from that of other creatures. Six pieces of leaf-shaped lungs contained a dense network of veins, and countless minute crystal particles grew on the surface of its lungs. These crystal particles were harder and more resistant to wear than diamond. Furthermore, there was gummy sticky liquid between the crystal particles.

That was the toughest part in the entirety of the dragon’s body. It was impossible to penetrate it, so Nailisi went around the six lungs and at last found the dragon’s heart.

Nailisi exerted a great deal of strength and jabbed at the dragon’s heart. Her hook-like fingernails advanced for about half a centimeter before they became stuck. The heart shrunk hastily. Ka ba! A section of Nailisi’s claws broke off neatly in a row.

Nailisi was in so much pain that she howled, and the bodily fluid within the thoracic cavity of the dragon flooded her mouth.

Even a demon whose heart had been pierced by Nailisi would not have reacted like this. Nailisi did not dare use her tail anymore. She simply hooked her tail onto the gully of the heart and wriggled her body upwards.

In the demonic plane, tiny demons were still able to hunt larger magic beasts. Crawling into the enemy’s intensites was a common tactic. Instinctively, Nailisi found a blood vessel in the dragon and bit down on it.

This blood vessel was proximal to the heart and was thicker than Nailisi’s waist. Nailisi’s teeth created an opening in the blood vessel, and fresh blood spurted out in that instant, completely drenching her in blood.

Since Nailisi was covered in the bodily fluids of the dragon, her entire body was slippery and had no traction, and she could not even stop to take a sip of the dragon’s blood. Nailisi simply used her limbs to maintain the opening in the blood vessel and extended her head into it.

This blood vessel was actually one of the dragon’s veins. Once Nailisi entered the blood vessel, she felt the dragon’s heart exert a massive suctioning force which sucked her body into the blood vessel.

The dragon twitched violently. There was nothing more horrifying than having a foreign body inside of its heart. However, the dragon did not have any strength left and could not even cast magic. That human hugging onto its tail had cast some evil skill, absorbing all of its power away.

Nailisi was feeling even worse. The force exerted by the shrinking of the heart was too immense, causing Nailisi’s bones to be broken and her skeleton to give off a grating sound. The essence from the dragon’s heart had seeped into Nailisi’s body through her skin. Originally, this had been something that Nailisi dreamt of, but now, it seemed like it was going to be fatal to her.

The essence from the dragon’s heart was like an ocean and Nailisi’s body was a mere lake. No matter how large the lake was, it would never be able to contain the ocean. Nailisi was trapped by the shrinking heart. That had been a reflex by the dragon’s brain. Nailisi tried her best to break out of the ventricle and escape, but she could not move at all.

As seconds ticked by, Nailisi felt that she was going to be assimilated into the dragon’s heart. The strength in her body had also fused with it completely. Furthermore, the skills which she had been unable to activate after her transition to adulthood were now unrestrained. However, Nailisi could not control her actions as she gradually became part of the dragon’s heart.

Nailisi had never expected this to happen. Even though the dragon’s strong body was now rendered immobile, Nailisi was completely trapped solely by its heart’s reflexes. Even if the dragon ultimately died, she would also be trapped here until she died in its heart. Nailisi could feel her life diminishing. Another way to put it was that she was becoming part of this colossal heart.

”Sika, help me get over there.” Lex noticed that the dragon was motionless and felt that something was wrong. Lex’s bones were broken, and such injuries could not be healed immediately using magic. Currently, she had trouble walking as well.

This dragon seemed to be able to remain alive no matter what they did. Lex knew that if the dragon did not die, then she would be the one to die. Thus, she tolerated the immense pain and had Sika help her over to the dragon.

Lex felt regretful. The two spells which were stored in the magic staff had already been used by her. Otherwise, those spells would definitely have been able to damage the dragon. The defenses of the dragon were now at a pitifully low level, and yet, that restorative magic which possessed offensive power equivalent to that of a level-8 spell had been used by Lex back at Dragon’s Tooth Town during the battle. The restorative magic had been prepared for Lex by her teacher.

Lex still possessed a large quantity of level-7 scrolls, but even if she drained herself of mental power, the dragon would only be severely injured and not killed.

The only thing that would work now was the god's ring.

The god's ring contained many abilities. Each time, Lex could only activate one ability, and after using it, it would require one year of recovery before it could be used again. Lex could not afford to consider it thoroughly now. There would still be an opportunity for the god’s ring to regain its abilities if it was used. However, if the dragon did not die, then she would stand no chance at all.

Sika helped Lex beside the dragon. Lex knelt down on the ground and raised her hands while the god's ring was placed on the dragon’s body. Then, Lex began to make a sound. Golden air gathered and formed one line, and this line pierced into the dragon’s abdominal cavity ruthlessly before exploding. The multiple injuries that Nailisi had caused could no longer withstand that large external pressure. Within the dragon’s body, a bundle of golden air spun furiously and expanded. It was just like those alchemical reamers which were used for mining. Whichever areas the golden air passed through, those portions of the intestines were destroyed.
