Chapter 1364: Harvest and Sword Spirit! (2)
The Dragon Abomination Venerable cursed inwardly at the old man’s sarcastic tone.
“Hmph, the individual differences among Dragon Abominations are immense. When I call myself the Father of Dragon Abominations, it’s merely to express my affection for these pitiable beings. Just as the Father of Plagues calls himself the father of all Unclean Great Ones… After all, in this world, apart from me, not even their own parents accept them—they loathe them. Even among pure-blooded dragons, individual differences are vast. The ordinary ones barely reach level 9. But dragons like the Red Lotus Dragon are on par with you and me. The bloodline behind this young one clearly exceeds that of the Red Lotus Dragon. His future is boundless; just wait and see.” Otharus spoke calmly.
In truth, after witnessing that crimson dragon, which seemed to be a Red Lotus Dragon, he realized that this young one was likely not a Dragon Abomination.
Firstly, the Red Lotus Dragon clan had long been extinct. Otharus often traveled across the Pan-Plane, taking in Dragon Abominations that were treated like outcasts, yet he had never encountered a Red Lotus Dragon Abomination.
Secondly, this unknown crimson dragon was capable of suppressing the End Dragon Bird, a creature known as the nemesis of the Dragon Clan.
This indicated that if it fully advanced, its power might exceed level 10.
Since Sauron, no being had emerged in the Pan-Plane with strength beyond level 10.
Sauron was widely acknowledged among the level 10 entities of the Pan-Plane as someone who possibly surpassed level 10.
The Fire Sovereign was invincible in his era, feared by all.
But his strength was achieved through the accumulation of a long lifespan, gradually reaching unmatched power within his realm, without ever surpassing level 10.
Although the Dragon Abomination Venerable was determined to oppose the Dragon Clan to the end,
If he ever encountered a level 11 dragon, he’d have no choice but to tuck his tail and retreat.
After pondering, he chuckled, “Even if, by the most remote chance, this young one isn’t a Dragon Abomination, he’s still avenging our Dragon Abomination clan—he’s our friend. What does it matter if he’s not a Dragon Abomination? What he is doesn’t matter. What’s important is that he gave that little pest Simon a taste of true dragon power. That ignorant fool, who repeatedly slaughtered our kin, got what he deserved!”
The Flame Sovereign sighed.
“No wonder you’re considered the most wicked dragon in the Pan-Plane. Your standards and principles are truly astounding.”
The Dragon Abomination Venerable ignored the mockery, his thoughts deepening.
“The End Dragon Bird has resurfaced. Soon, the dragons of this Multidimensional Plane will have their hands full. How could I miss out on such a grand event?”
…
Dark Ancient Tower
Eastern Sea, Io Continent
Simon had fallen.
The Three-Headed Dragon God stood at the center, towering over the battlefield.
No one dared approach.
Under the Red Lotus Purgatory, those who had attempted to steal or scavenge were killed without mercy.
The Dragon God reached out and grabbed Simon’s streamer and other relics, swallowing them whole.
Levi’s Danger Perception grew stronger by the second. He had no desire to stay here any longer.
After all, he had already secured three Truth Oddities, making this venture more than worth it.
Not to mention, the spoils from killing Simon and the Golden Light Wizard would be nothing short of impressive.
Now, he needed to find a safe place to personally subdue the Black Lotus Beast.
It was, after all, the strongest sub-dragon species at the peak of level five, its power rivaling that of a fifth-circle Perfection wizard.
As the Dragon Abomination prepared to leave,
No one dared to pursue it.
The top-tier geniuses present hesitated, and even the ordinary wizards were paralyzed with fear.
The sight of that world-ending Red Lotus attack was something no one would ever forget!
As the Dragon Abomination departed, the suffocating pressure finally lifted.
“D*mn it! That Dragon Abomination seized two oddities all by itself. What’s it going to do with them? Can it even refine them?”
“No idea. Maybe it’s like those alien races in the Blackstone Palace—just collecting them for display?”
Regardless, with the vast amount of resources in the chamber, even those who didn’t secure a Truth Oddity found themselves with plenty of spoils.
The top wizard organizations, leveraging their numbers, made off with an abundant haul.
Beske, the commander of the Nine Cities Alliance, watched Simon’s demise with a dark satisfaction.
“Finally dead. It’s not my fault—he insisted on fighting that Dragon Abomination alone and wouldn’t let us intervene…”
He could have helped, but he chose not to.
Beske put on a facade of grief and said,
“Gather the resources, and let’s head back. I’ll report this to Lord Roman and avenge Simon!”
Gomez sighed,
“Yes, poor Simon… what a tragic end.”
In truth, many within the Nine Cities Alliance harbored resentment toward Simon.
His arrogance and disregard for others made him widely disliked.
Meanwhile, Alexandra and Elsie, who had been lying in wait, ready to strike, were stunned.
Alexandra murmured, “Simon… is dead? Just like that?”
Elsie clenched her fists and said, “My premonition was right. Simon was no match for that Dragon Abomination. In a way, he got what he deserved.”
Suddenly, Alexandra burst into laughter.
The years of inner torment, the shadow that had loomed over her, vanished in an instant!
“This is exhilarating! My mind is finally clear.”
Elsie, however, remained serious,
“I noticed that Dragon Abomination fleeing in haste. Perhaps there’s a danger here even it can’t handle. We’ve collected enough—we should leave, too.”
With that thought, the two women quickly departed.
Time passed.
The resources on the battlefield were nearly all taken.
One by one, wizards began to disperse.
Aboard the Blackstone, in a cryogenic chamber, amid the crew’s persistent calls, a man with a perfectly proportioned golden body, like a statue of David, opened his eyes.
“Why have you awakened me? My injuries are not yet healed!”
