Chapter 306: Getaway (1)

Duke Osiris’ castle.
Link’s infiltration mission had been discovered. A few seconds after the guards’ roars, 30 strong bursts of aura poured out. They were all at least at Level-7, with two being so powerful that the air in the castle seemed to be distorted. This was a sign of being Level-8.
Link cursed in his mind. F*ck, so many of these high-level dragons! If he was surrounded, he’d definitely be killed instantly!
Thankfully, he had the Dimensional Jump spell.
However, he couldn’t use this escaping spell so directly for two reasons.
Firstly, the high-level dragons racing over from the library behind him and garden before him were less than 100 feet from him. If he used the Dimensional Jump, he would need 0.15 seconds, and there would be a flash of white light. It was very obvious, and if the dragons wanted to, they could easily stop him with a Battle Aura Cut.
Secondly, even if his Dimensional Jump was successful, he could only go 3000 feet. The commotion after he reappeared would still allow the enemy to find his specific location. Three thousand feet was only a matter of half a minute for these high-level dragons. They could fly and were fast. Link definitely wasn’t their match.
At this time, the Dragon Warriors near Link grew hesitant. Clearly, they could sense Link’s hidden existence.
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, the invisible Link sent a secret command to Nana who had been hiding in the flowers.
The next moment, Nana jumped out. There was a bang in the air, and she sped forward at top speed, rushing out of the garden.
The commotion was too obvious.
“There! The thief is there!”
“Hurry and catch her!”
“She’s so fast!”
Instantly, almost all the high-level dragons were distracted. They spun around and flew towards Nana, including the Level-8 guard leader Brayer. The entire castle emptied and Link’s danger decreased.
However, he still didn’t use the Dimensional Jump because there was still a Level-8 dragon in the castle.
He was also a Dragon Warrior with double swords as his weapon. His armor was much more finely made than the guards, and he was younger too. The servants all respected him, calling him “young master.”
He was probably Duke Osiris’ son. At this moment, he was in the garden, looking left and right for Link.
Link didn’t dare act brashly. He went beside a bush of flowers and squatted, creeping carefully to the garden entrance.
“Huh?” The dragon looked over, staring at the flower bush Link was at with a face of confusion and caution.
Fuck, he’s going to find me! Link’s heart pounded.
His invisibility wasn’t all-powerful. It was useful if the other party didn’t sense him beforehand. However, if the person knew someone was there, they would focus and search carefully. He was a Level-8 Warrior as well, so it was already impressive Link could last this long.
Knowing that he would definitely be discovered, Link couldn’t risk it anymore. He would act first!
Focusing, he cast the Demon Slayer Whip!
With a whoosh, a crystal red whip rushed out of the air, glowing with faint red light. There were eight blinding light spots on it. It charged toward the opponent.
“Oh? Impressive!” the Dragon Warrior focused his gaze and complimented Link. Then, frantic dragon power appeared from his body. At a glance, it looked like he was on fire. One couldn’t see his body.
This was much more powerful than the Level-8 Warriors Link had seen before. He was shocked. The power is very pure and converged. It seems endless. It looks like he’s about to break into Level-9. Is this the powerful bloodline of the Red Dragon nobles?
These thoughts flashed through his mind. The next instant, the Demon Slayer Whip crashed against the dragon.
Link had practiced countless days under simulations to add supreme magic skills to the Demon Slayer Whip. When he cast the spell, he also had the help of the game system. All these advantages allowed Link to control the spell almost at will.
At the same time, he also had rich battle experience, so his whip was extremely flexible. It was almost impossible to distinguish where the whip would strike.
But the Dragon Warrior took a glance and was actually happy rather than shocked. “Nice move. Take my sword!”
As he spoke, the double swords in his hands turned into a blur. His actions were so fast one couldn’t see them clearly.
Boom! Boom! Boom, boom! There were countless explosions. For each boom, there was a burst of shockwaves. The flowers in the garden couldn’t withstand this crazy power and were ripped from their roots. Link couldn’t keep hiding anymore either. He canceled the Invisibility spell and focused on battling with the Dragon Warrior.
He activated 13 wave peak attacks in one second. The angles were extremely tricky, and the Dragon Warrior acted desperately, but he still blocked all of Link’s attacks. His double swords skill was too powerful—practically undefeatable.
Link was shocked. He’d used almost all his power in the previous attack, and he’d taken the initiative. It had pretty much been a surprise attack. However, he could only put the opponent at a disadvantage rather than directly defeat him. This Dragon Warrior was just too powerful.
Who is he? This kind of Warrior shouldn’t be nameless, even in the game. Link was confused, but he didn’t have time to think during the intense battle. He could only focus all his effort on the enemy.
The Demon Slayer Whip was like a snake spirit. It circled the Dragon Warrior, constantly striking down. The blinding spots of light were everywhere on the whip. Every bit of the long whip could produce a terrifying attack. One had to be cautious and guarded.
The Dragon Warrior had blocked the attacks but was still caught up in defending himself. He faced death every moment, but he wasn’t scared at all. Instead, he kept cheering, “Good! Nice! Feels great!”
He was having a great time. It felt like all his potential was being forced out by this powerful opponent. Even more strangely, he was just good enough to block the attacks. This was the perfect battle he’d always been searching for.
The seconds ticked by. Link became more and more anxious because he didn’t have time to be tangled up with this guy.
The guards after Nana could return at any time. Then, he would be surrounded. He’d be dead meat.
