Chapter 488 Evil Dragon (1/2)

The Black Flood Dragon directed its maw at the hundreds of thousands of corpses floating beneath it and took another deep breath. In the next second, a cyclone erupted from its mouth.

A violent typhoon engulfed everything beneath the dragon, forcibly ripping all the souls in the surrounding forests and the flooded city from their bodies. Those beneath Lord-tier were powerless to resist the dragon's soul-devouring ability.

The sky was now filled with countless disembodied souls, which began merging to form a grayish translucent ball of light before disappearing into the Black Flood Dragon's mouth. Countless translucent threads of light appeared from the rim of the dragon's headless neck like feelers, intertwining with each other at a speed invisible to the naked eye. The translucent shape of a dragon's head gradually took form on the stub of its neck where its head had once been. The threads of light coming out of its neck still seemed unreal.

Gao Peng noticed that the Black Flood Dragon's status as shown on the database had changed from ”moderately injured” to ”lightly injured.”

A Water-type dragon... Isn't this what the Dragon Slaying Chapter is supposed to counter? Shame that I still haven't tamed it. If I had, taking this dragon down would be so much simpler, thought Gao Peng.

Even though the Dragon Slaying Chapter had been beaten by him twice, it was still extraordinarily stubborn and wouldn't give in to his efforts to tame it. Forming a Blood Contract with a familiar would be all but impossible if one party was unwilling to accept the terms.

Even if Gao Peng had beaten the Dragon Slaying Chapter in combat, it still refused to sign itself away to a life of servitude. It seemed that Yu the Great really had confronted this evil beast in the past.

Gao Peng couldn't help but think about the fact that when an evil dragon of this caliber wreaked havoc, it was definitely not something to be taken lightly. It was capable of causing catastrophic levels of flooding wherever it went. To most people back then, the dragon would have likely been regarded as a harbinger of the apocalypse.

While thinking about this, Gao Peng decided to let Dumby make its first move. Dumby immediately entered its Yin Soul Dominator state as it stepped into the air. Yin energy emanated profusely from its body and into the air around it. It pressed its palm out powerfully, dispersing the souls that were being absorbed by the dragon. Untethered from the dragon's breath, the dispersed souls quickly faded into thin air.

Even though Dumby was a familiar, Gao Peng had forbidden it from absorbing the souls of any other humans or Red River Apes. He didn't know if there was an afterlife, but if it did exist, it would probably be better than being swallowed by the Black Flood Dragon.

After its food source was interrupted, the Black Flood Dragon calmly turned to look at Gao Peng in the distance.

Without waiting for an order, the Desolate Frost Lion lunged at the Black Flood Dragon.

”Careful—its attacks can harm your soul. Try to avoid them as much as you can,” warned Gao Peng.

He rarely intervened in his familiars' battles or gave them advice on how to fight, simply because most of them could overwhelm their opponents in combat without breaking a sweat. His advice would probably not make any difference.

However, this time was different. Upon hearing Gao Peng's warning, the Desolate Frost Lion hesitated for a moment. Then it shook its head and redirected its attention towards the black dragon.

The Black Flood Dragon swung its tail at its opponent. The Desolate Frost Lion, which had intended to pounce on the dragon's tail, swerved to the side. Smacking the air with its tail, the lion did a 360-degree turn in the air and rolled out of the tail's way.

As the lion rolled away to safety, a white aurora of energy began building up in its mouth. Arcs of white light flew out of the growing ball of light and into the lion's mouth. At the same time, it activated its field of frost and desolation, sending out an invisible ripple that penetrated the Black Flood Dragon's body and ran through the mountains and water beneath its feet for miles. The water beneath them was instantly frozen, now glinting with a frozen light.

The Black Flood Dragon had felt only a slight chill when the ripple hit it. Its movements seemed to be somewhat affected.

Dooonnnggg! A pillar of blinding light illuminated the entire sky. It struck the Black Flood Dragon squarely in its head, which was still in the process of regenerating itself.
