Ducasse gained enormous speed as he transformed into a Golden Giant Dragon. He shot past the sky like a bolt of golden lightning, leaving nothing but a remnant of shadow.

The Golden Giant Dragon may be fast, but it could not compare to the Level Surpassing Dark Dragon King under Yang Ling. Whoosh! Yang Ling flew up and crashed head-on into the Golden Giant Dragon, making an explosive bang.

The Golden Giant Dragon is known to be the beast of “strongest defense” in the continent. With scales densely packed and practically unscratchable, it was claimed to be “impenetrable by swords or spears.” On Yang Ling’s side, the Dark Dragon King is often called the continent’s most powerful fighter in close combat. Apart from its strong defense, the brutality of its physical attack too far outranks any other Giant Dragons.

The strongest shield meets the strongest spear. In that instant, the ultimate showdown between the Golden Giant Dragon and Dark Dragon King caught everyone’s attention.

Behind Ducasse, a Golden Giant Dragon lay ferociously in wait. On the opposite side, Flying Dragon King Lex, Corpse Wizard King, and the others remain still and guarded. Both parties focused on the soul-shaking battle of Golden Giant Dragon Ducasse and Dark Dragon King.

Rawr!

After the clash, both Ducasse and the Dark Dragon King roared out loud. They pulled away at the same time.

Blood flowed profusely from the wounds of the Dark Dragon King. Meanwhile, Ducasse suffered graver injuries. Blood gushed from a massive tear of flesh torn away by the Dark Dragon King.

With that, it was proven that the Dark Dragon King was indeed the strongest close combat monster in the continent! He was stronger than Ducasse, the Star of Champa, who now transformed into a Golden Giant Dragon. He is still no match for the Level Surpassing Dark Dragon King in terms of strength and speed.

“Kill, kill him!”

“Kill him, tear his wings!”

…

After the initial anxiousness subsided, people cheered out loud upon witnessing the Dark Dragon King’s superiority in strength. They heaved a great sigh of relief and once again felt confident in Yang Ling, their lord.

“Hmph, not bad. You managed to make me bleed. No wonder Antalya lost!” Ducasse, the Golden Giant Dragon, licks away the blood at the corner of his mouth. Evil and cold-faced, he continued, “However, if this is all you’ve got, I’m afraid that your deaths are guaranteed. The Magical beast Realm will be wiped out!”

Are our deaths guaranteed?

People were shaking their heads, embarrassed for Ducasse, who still spat shameless taunts while bleeding out. Some even went as far as to scold him. To think that Ducasse, the druid turned Golden Giant Dragon, would be this arrogant and brazen!

Unlike regular folks, Yang Ling looked solemn. His feeling of uneasiness only grew as Ducasse continued to brandish his claws fearlessly.

The Golden Giant Dragons behind Ducasse are too quiet and calm. Ducasse suffered a significant blow in their previous exchange, yet the Golden Giant Dragons present seemed not to worry at all. They paid zero minds to Ducasse’s injuries, which made absolutely no sense!

“You are the strongest Summoner that I have ever seen. However, only death awaits you. No matter how strong your Dark Dragon is, it can never hold up to us, the Golden Giant Dragons!”

After flying a few circles, Ducasse murmured a few lines of Dragon Magic. The horrible wounds under his neck stopped bleeding and began to heal at a visible speed. A while later, a new muscle grew and closed the wound. At the same time, an energy wave similar to Energy of Life filled the air.

“An Ancient Wood Dragon Crystal? That explains the ridiculous speed of which your wounds healed! Speak, from where did you get this Ancient Wood Dragon Crystal?” Dark Dragon King paled, “Did you lowly scoundrels sneak an attack on an Ancient Wood Dragon, and swallowed its Essence Crystal?”

Ducasse laughed out loud at the Dark Dragon King and Yang Ling’s serious faces. He answered coldly,” “Heheh! Ask that old geezer of an Ancient Wood Dragon when you meet him in the Dimension of Dead Souls!”

“Hmph, fallen scoundrels! The Dragon God will never let you off!”

The Dark Dragon King roared and made the first attack. It lunged at Ducasse in a speed of light. The longer the fight drags on, the more disadvantageous it is to Yang Ling.

“Hmph, Poison Dragon Penetration! Kill!” Seeing how the Dark Dragon King is closing in, Ducasse, now in the form of a Golden Giant Dragon, roared. Instead of retreating, it charged right at the Dark Dragon, flashing his razor-sharp claws.

No flashy moves, just two dragons clashing, tearing and biting off each other…both of them locked in a brutal fight to the death. The Dark Dragon King landed heavy blows and sharp attacks, while Ducasse went all out and cared not of injuries, as he has an Ancient Wood Dragon Crystals as regeneration and defense.

Soon, both parties are bleeding profusely from wounds all over their bodies. However, prolonging the battle was hardly ideal. The Dark Dragon King suffers heavier and heavier wounds as time went by; while Ducasse suffered life-threatening injuries with every hit that landed, he has the Ancient Wood Dragon Crystal. His wounds could quickly recover, and he could fight again in no time.

The situation is getting worse for Yang Ling by the minute!

Rawr…

After another hard clash, Dark Dragon King went into a frenzy. Instead of retreating, he spewed an intense fire. However, he snapped to his senses when he saw Ducasse’s smirk. He immediately fled with Yang Ling on his back, but it was too late!

The slim and gracious Fairy Dragon sitting on Ducasse smiled coldly. She lightly raised her right index finger and began to chant. In an instant, a faint silver glow engulfed her and Ducasse. With the protection of the soft silver glow, they passed through the flames unscathed. Unable to react in time. The Dark Dragon King bore the brunt of Ducasse’s claws and got a deep tear.

“Magical Illumination!”

According to Dark Dragon King’s memories, that faint silver glow was an ability of Fairy Dragon’s. It can nullify any magical attack. Yang Ling gulped in great difficulty at that information.

The Fairy Dragon is a particular species among Dragonmen. Not only do they carry the blood of Giant Dragons, but they often have rare abilities and talents.

With his body in midair, the spikes on Yang Ling’s Ice-sealing Throne have been rendered useless. He has to avoid Ducasse’s sneak attacks, but Fairy Dragon is different; she has the rare ability of “Damage Transfer,” which redirects any attacks on her to Ducasse.

The Dark Dragon King could ignore most regular magical attacks, but the same could not be said for Yang Ling. So far, he has not yet reached the stage where he can nullifying magic attacks. For that, Dark Dragon King has no choice but to hop around, trying to avoid Ducasse’s wind dagger spells.

In terms of magical defense, the opponent has the upper hand.

Ducasse, who transformed into Golden Giant Dragon, doesn’t have a high magical defense. However, with a Fairy Dragon who is naturally immune to all magic, they have changed the game. A Fairy Dragon who attained a high level of cultivation could easily nullify all magic attacks, granting Ducasse considerable magical defense.

In Tailun Continent, there might be people who dare say they can kill a great dragon by themselves. However, nobody would ever dare to say they alone can kill a great dragon aided by a Fairy Dragon.

The combination duo of Fairy Dragon and Great Dragon is effectively the perfect combo of the continent. They are a nightmare for both spellcasters and warriors.

The sturdy Giant Dragon takes care of attack and defense, while the Fairy Dragon provides magical immunity and protection. It is a combo that can work well to defeat opponents several times stronger than them if the duo is in a good partnership.

The combination of Fairy Dragon and Golden Giant Dragon is already overpowering. With the Ancient Wood Dragon Crystal hailed to preserve souls and maintain bodies undying, they could also heal quickly from any injuries. The situation is grim!

Dark Dragon King wounds are getting worse while Ducasse fought fiercer than ever. The Golden Giant Dragons all cheered. To them, this battle has been decided. What else can Yang Ling do against Ducasse once they kill the Dark Dragon King?

Humans with no wings to fly… no matter how strong they are, in the eyes of Dragons, they are nothing but weak worms!

“Master Roke, what should we do?”

“Let’s shoot them down with Magic Crystal Canons!”

…

As the situation gradually worsened, guards like Orlando were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Yuna and Alice, who just reached upon hearing the news, cried in worry.

Is this the time for him to go all out?

The Corpse Wizard King Roke’s face darkened as he watched the heavily injured Dark Dragon King. If his strength has recovered to his peak, he has a million ways to kill that Ducasse asshat in an instant. However, he has depleted most of his power. If he wants to kill Ducasse, going all out is the only way. By then, his identity would naturally be exposed.

Revealing his true identity in public could be a dire disaster for the Magical Beast Realm, which is still not yet powerful enough to withstand such a crisis. Therefore, he will only make a move when there was indeed no other way.

Magic doesn’t work, and he can’t kill him with physical attacks. What else can he do?

Yang Ling fixed his gaze at Ducasse, who steadily gained the upper hand; he turned his eyes to the heavily injured Dark Dragon King, then to the Fairy Dragon still sitting on Ducasse. An insane idea came to him. He ordered Dark Dragon King to fly lower.

When in midair, be it the spikes on his Ice-sealing Throne or the short-ranged ‘Ice Sealing the Environment’, all of them are rendered useless. There is only one way he could win.

“Hahaha, running away? Not so easy. Die!”

With its grave injuries, the Dark Dragon King’s speed began to fall. It lowered its flying height, again and again, invoking mocking laughs from Ducasse, the Golden Giant Dragon. Ducasse roared while chasing it tightly by the tail. He was sure that the gravely injured Dark Dragon King and Yang Ling, the Summoner,would soon be two corpses.

He has heard that the Magical Beast Realm has an abundance of Crystal Coins and beauties. After he rescued Antalya and wiped out the Magical Beast Realm, he could probably earn a massive windfall?

Ducasse braved another attack from the Dark Dragon King that may tear another piece of flesh and managed to leave a deep, bleeding wound on his opponent with his claws. As he thought about the reports from other Druids regarding the Magical Beast Realm, he was blinded by apathy and arrogance. He doesn’t realize that an icy-faced Yang Ling has raised his ever sharp blood elf dagger.
