Chapter 96: The Triple-Everything Troops, Beating Up The Dragon King

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

During Meng Lei’s mad bombardment of spells just now, the number of Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ants that had perished in his hands had exceeded several tens of thousands, leaving behind approximately the same number of magic cores, too.

A single sixth-grade magic core was worth up to 10,000 gold coins. He could definitely sell them for tens of millions of gold coins with all of them put together!

Tens of millions of gold coins!

How could he let them off?

Meng Lei had just so been thinking about how he should collect those magic cores when he saw what had just happened—100,000 Double-Legged Flying Dragons scrambling for the magic cores on the ground like hungry ghosts, clearly treating them as theirs.

“You damned dogs, how dare you steal my magic cores!?”

Meng Lei flew into a rage, his eyes turning savage.

“Don’t be reckless, brat!” Ol’ Amos hastily stopped him. “Don’t be fooled by how ugly these guys are; all of them are nobles. Killing them will bring you a lot of trouble!”

“Nobles?” Meng Lei was stupefied. “Those idiots?”

“Yes! Nobles!” Ol’ Amos nodded heavily. “Not only are they nobles, but they also hold titles. They even have their own private territories.”

“What the hell? Are the heavens blind?!” A corner of Meng Lei’s lips spasmed as he let out an exclamation. He’d honestly been rendered somewhat speechless.

However, that was indeed the truth. Every single member of the Flying Dragon Troops was nobility. And because all of them were nobles, the Flying Dragon Troops were a special military unit, as well as the one and only unit completely made up of nobles in Fire Dragon Kingdom. They were a presence far beyond what other military units could compare with.

This led directly to the Flying Dragon Troops always behaving in a haughty and overbearing manner when making contact with other military units, and they always hogged all the war spoils as if it were right and justified.

They slaughtered everything, ate everything, and snatched everything!

The greediness of their nature, the awfulness of their table manners, the ugliness of their attitudes—they could be said to be notorious for all of these!

Yet, on the contrary, the Flying Dragon Troops weren’t ashamed but proud of it instead. They promoted this tradition, developing the “slaughter everything, eat everything, snatch everything” into the “seize everything, eat everything, take everything” tradition!

Their behavior infuriated the other military units, and they hated them with a vengeance, yet they couldn’t do anything about it.

It was the same this time, too.

After seeing the magic cores strewn all over the wide expanse of land, the Flying Dragon Troops had rushed straight toward them. Which part of them had stood on ceremony even the slightest?

They flew into the air and landed back down and then flew into the air again and landed back down again. They did this continuously, greedily snatching all the magic cores on the ground.

In this aspect, they had perfectly inherited the Colossal Dragons’ avarice and the vultures’ gluttony and even went far beyond.

“You damned dogs! You have a death wish, don’t you!?”

Meng Lei was infuriated. He bellowed furiously, his roars exploding in the sky like roiling thunderclaps and reverberating throughout.

In the next instant, a dazzling thunder ball descended from above and crashed brutally onto the ground. As a deafening boom rang out, the thunder ball suddenly exploded and enveloped the area within a radius of several kilometers.

Crackle, crackle!

The raging electric currents flowed about freely as they pleased. Innumerable Double-Legged Flying Dragons fell victim to the electric currents and began to convulse violently as if they’d taken drugs, and their plumes also stood on end. Then, they collapsed onto the ground in large batches.

“What?!”

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Disbelief filled everyone as they watched the Double-Legged Flying Dragons wrapped in electric currents mass-convulsing and mass-flailing.

“Who? Who did this?!”

The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King flew into a rage. His hawk-like eyes swept about everywhere, a chilly light flashing intensely in his eyes as he searched for the culprit that had attacked his subordinates.

Then, he noticed a magic carpet flying over, as well as someone standing proudly on it.

“How dare you actually attack my sons!? Die!”

The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King bristled with anger and rushed into the air with a loud boom. He transformed into a flying dragon and charged toward Meng Lei. He wanted to torture Meng Lei to death with cruel and heartless means so that everyone would know how people that had the audacity to attack the Flying Dragon Troops would end up.

“Duke Nicolas—”

Marquis Gould wanted to call out to him and stop him, but it was too late. By the time a shadow flashed past, leaving behind afterimages, the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King had already appeared in front of Meng Lei.

“Die, you lowly piece of trash!” The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King roared furiously.

His razor-sharp claws that flashed with a chilly glint swiped fiercely toward Meng Lei. His actions were quick, vicious, and accurate, and went straight for Meng Lei’s head.

“Damn!”

Marquis Gould was terribly panicking. The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King was comparable to a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast. He moved lightning-quick, and his claws were incredibly sharp. Could Meng Lei hold himself against his sudden attack?

Yes, it was true that Meng Lei was a Great Ninth-Grade Magician, but everyone knew how fragile and frail a Magician’s physical body was. Should he suffer a full swipe of the claws, wouldn’t he be ripped straight into shreds?

If he dies here...

Marquis Gould shivered all over, not quite daring to continue that train of thought. Only people with Colossal Dragon blood in them could use Dragon-Language Magic. In other words, Meng Lei was a Great Ninth-Grade Dragon-Language Magician.

The significance behind this identity of his was too strong. Should Meng Lei perish here, who could bear the responsibility?

Boom!

Just as Marquis Gould was in an utter panic, the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King’s sharp claws had already struck against Meng Lei’s head. However, the scene he’d imagined didn’t happen.

Meng Lei’s head hadn’t exploded from the blow. On the contrary, a layer of dazzling diamond-like crystalline substance materialized on the surface of his body and formed a protective shield around him, protecting him from external harm.

That was the Ninth-Grade Spell, Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor.

Bam!

The claws scraped across Meng Lei’s forehead. That familiar sensation that he would get from ripping his prey alive in the past didn’t appear. Instead, it felt as if he had just clawed against an obsidian rock, the resulting impact causing his paw to hurt.

“How can that be?!”

The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King retreated, his eyes full of shock. His ambush just now had reached in just a split second; where had that fellow found the time to cast a protective spell?

Was it an instant release?

“Well done! Well done, indeed!”

With a wave, Meng Lei withdrew the Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor. He glared furiously at the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King, his wrath almost driving him mad. When the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King had ambushed him just now, he had firmly and resolutely cast Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor.

This spell’s defense power was astonishingly high, but it’d cost him a whole 800,000 Magic Power Points!

800,000!

A whole 800,000!

That was a freaking 8,000,000 gold coins!

,000,000 gold coins... All gone, just like that!

Meng Lei’s heart ached so badly from the loss that his expression had pretty much become altered beyond recognition. “I’m going to use your inconsequential life to make up for this empty space freed up after you made me suffer a loss of 8,000,000 gold coins for nothing!”

Boom!

He had only just spoken when a crackling sound rang out. A lightning bolt as thick as a water barrel hurtled down from the heavens and viciously struck the Double-Legged Flying Dragon. His plumes frizzed up explosively at once, turning him into a “Double-Legged Hedgehog”!

Violent electric currents flowed about him freely and produced crackling sounds of explosions. The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King was also pretty tough and hardy. Not only did he not suffer any injuries, but he also became even angrier.

“Die!”

He flapped his wings, which produced a tornado that reached into the skies, and charged toward Meng Lei again. However, yet another lightning bolt struck him right in the head.

Crackle!

“Damn!”

The Double-Legged Flying Dragon King’s eyes were blood red. He let out roar after roar, but the only thing that responded to him was still a lightning bolt as thick as a water barrel.

Crackle!

“That bastard!”

Crackle!

“You’re driving me up the wall...!”

Crackle!

Like the rivers that flowed endlessly, yet also like the Yellow River beyond one’s control in a flood, lightning bolts as thick as water barrels came one after the other. They came crashing down madly and endlessly.

No matter how strong the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King’s body was, he wasn’t going to be able to withstand these many hits. Gradually, his flesh began to split into bloody wounds from the lightning bolts, and he became charred black all over. Which part of him still retained even a little of his mighty momentum from just now?

“This...”

The mouths of all the soldiers on top of the city walls fell agape, and all of them turned into stone. Never would anyone have expected something like that to happen.

They had initially thought that even if Meng Lei survived the Double-Legged Flying Dragon King’s attack, he would also suffer grave injuries.

They had also thought that the odds were definitely not in his favor, but it was the complete opposite now instead.

Not only was Meng Lei completely alright, but he was instead beating the Flying Dragon King into a pulp!

Had he really only broken through to the Great Ninth-Grade Magician level just a while ago?

He was already that ferocious when he had just broken through?

“Thunder-elemental! He’s actually even a thunder-elemental Great Magician!”

Marquis Gould held a completely distrustful attitude toward his life now. It was already flabbergasting enough when Meng Lei had exhibited his double earth-elemental and fire-elemental magic talent just now.

Who would have thought that he actually had thunder-elemental magic talent, too?!

Earth, fire, and thunder! Three types of elements!

A triple-elemental Great Ninth-Grade Magician!

“Surely even the Dragon God’s illegitimate child wouldn’t be as much of a mutant as him, right?”
