Chapter 348: Chapter 347: The Giant Dragon Hidden in the Dark Shadows

“Aaaaah!!”

As the massive shadow emerged, the creatures in front of it became increasingly agitated, kneeling and groveling on the ground. The three Elders of the monster tribes at the entrance of the cave stretched out their arms, beginning to shout loudly. In their eyes, this was a sign that their tribe was about to rise, as long as they could gain the approval of this powerful being, their tribe would rise again!

And at that moment…

“Swoosh!”

The next moment, the shadow disappeared.

“……….”

For a time, the entire clearing became incredibly silent, the monsters stared dumbfounded at the now empty cave entrance, unable to comprehend what had just happened. At that moment, Fina, who had been prepared, suddenly stood up.

“Attack!”

“Wendy, follow the master’s plan!”

“Yahhh—!”

Upon hearing Nymph’s command, the Little Fire Dragon cried out, then it spread its wings, and quickly, an enormous clock Array unfolded above the heads of the monsters. At the same time, the movements of those creatures slowed down instantly.

“Fireball!”

Katie, holding a Magic Wand that maintained the Invisibility Sphere in one hand, pulled out a Hand Mirror from her bosom with the other and opened it; then, a streak of Magic Radiance flashed across the mirror, and the next moment, multiple fireballs shot out from the mirror, tracing across the sky and smashing into the cluster of creatures.

“Boom, boom, boom!!”

Accompanied by a series of explosions, the fireballs blasted among the creature crowd, instantly knocking dozens of them to the ground. Katie then retracted the Hand Mirror in her hand and took out a handkerchief, waving it slightly forward.

“Whew……”

The next moment, along with Katie’s gesture, a faint Magic Radiance appeared on the handkerchief and then, the densest area among the creatures was suddenly filled with a mist twinkling with Spiritual Light. The creatures enveloped by the mist started to look dazed and foolish, swaying as if they were in a daze.

This girl is impressive.

Watching this scene, Nymph couldn’t help but remark. After many days of travel, she had come to understand the Young Lady who loved Stealth above all else, and aside from her Stealth skills, it was her Magic Artifacts— all of Miss Young Lady’s Magic Equipment was custom-made!

Her rings, necklaces, shoes, jackets, cloaks, and even down to her Hand Mirror, handkerchief, bracelets, and headbands—every single item was equipped with self-recovering Magic enchantments. It seemed that every part of Miss Young Lady’s body, other than herself, was made up of Magic Equipment… probably even her undergarments.

Even Nymph had to marvel, was this Young Lady so resourceful because she was rich, or because she was really rich, or perhaps because she was extremely rich?

However, Katie had one issue—she never used weapons. Despite the fact that enchanted daggers and crossbows would suit a Wanderer, she preferred to use a Hand Mirror to cast fireballs rather than wield weapons, which was a very unusual quirk.

“Now is the time!!”

At that moment, the Astrologer and Molly, who had already shifted into Archer mode, raised their Longbows and began to rapidly aim and shoot at the creatures. The creatures, enshrouded by the mind-fog, had no power to fight back and quickly fell one by one under their onslaught.

“Roar——!! Humans! Invaders!”

But at that moment, some creatures broke free from the magical binding, and several Gnolls, brandishing their weapons furiously, charged towards the group.

At the same time, Nymph raised her finger, and a ring on her hand suddenly shattered.

“Wall of Blades!”

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

Just as the Gnolls were about to pounce, blades formed from Magic Power suddenly shot up from the ground, swiftly rising up. They instantly chopped the Gnolls into mincemeat. In a blink, more creatures fell to the ground, their bodies a bloody mess. However, a small number of Gnolls bypassed the Wall of Blades and continued their assault.

“Holy Protection! Gift of Courage!”

At that moment, Fina raised her shield and Meteor Hammer, standing on the front line with the dwarf as part of the squad’s vanguard, responsible for protecting the others. After all, this squad was too unbalanced in composition with most being magic users, having only three melee fighters—oh, and one of those melee fighters had switched to ranged.

“Leave that Frost Giant to me!”

Seeing the Frost Giant striding towards her not far off, Hailien’s expression changed. She hurriedly pulled out her Longsword from behind her back, thrust it into the ground, closed her eyes, and very soon, bright red flames erupted from the Longsword, entwining with Hailien and transforming into a massive Flame Falcon—clearly, this young lady had also learned much from her interactions with the Elves.

The Flame Falcon flapped its wings and then swiftly pounced towards the Frost Giant, clashing fiercely with it. Meanwhile, Fina also began to swing her Meteor Hammer, fighting alongside the dwarf to fend off the attacking creatures.

Mr. Fang Zheng didn’t know where he had gone.

While fending off the goblin’s attack, Fina glanced curiously at her side, where she had just seen Fang Zheng looking at the shadow in the cave. Then he swung his longsword and, soon after, both he and the giant shadow disappeared. This made Fina curious and somewhat worried. After all, the others might only know about giant dragons from storybooks, and their impression of them remained very vague, described merely as “very powerful.” It was for this reason that these young ladies weren’t particularly worried about Fang Zheng. But Fina was different—she could feel the power contained within that dark shadow…

She hoped that Mr. Fang Zheng would be safe and sound.

The wind blew past, and the white sea of clouds stirred with it.

Fang Zheng, with both hands on the hilt of his vampire sword, stood on a pure white circular platform, staring at the pure white sea of clouds before him. Behind him towered a golden gate reaching into the clouds.

“Even in the highest heaven, angels feel fear…”

But he wasn’t an angel; he was a human.

And a dragon.

“Interesting…”

As a deep voice boomed, the next moment, the pure white sea of clouds in front of Fang Zheng instantly turned into darkness.

“An interesting world, an interesting person… Are you challenging me, mortal?”

“I was hoping to talk with you.”

Fang Zheng looked at the spreading dark shadow without concern. He knew that his opponent had entered the Legendary Domain, but the current Fang Zheng was not completely out of his depth either. Not to mention… his opponent was a dragon.

“It’s just the two of us here, so you don’t have to worry about anyone overhearing. I want to talk with you about what brings you to the Peak of Ice and Snow. I have some acquaintance with the elves and dwarves here, and they are worried about a dragon who came uninvited to roam and enjoy themselves…”

“Elves? Dwarves? Ah… those adorable little things.”

The shadow chuckled lightly.

“Of course, I am aware of them, but now, this place is my territory. Everything here will belong to me, including them. If they submit to me, I might forgive their crime of intruding into my lair.”

Heh, these folks have been living here for hundreds of years and you come along treating them as the intruders?

Hearing the shadow’s response, Fang Zheng helplessly rolled his eyes. Although he had heard about the Dragon Race’s pride and arrogance more than once, he only now realized the extent of their arrogance. Clearly, you are the newcomer, yet you pose as if “this place has always belonged to me.” Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder people always say the Dragon Race is overbearing and unreasonable—it indeed is for a reason.

“It seems there’s nothing more to discuss between us.”

Since the dragon had no plans of leaving but instead intended to build a villa here, Fang Zheng had nothing more to say; he raised his longsword and pointed it at the shadow before him.

“Then, I must ask you to leave.”

“Heh heh heh, just you? That’s interesting, little fellow.”

Hearing Fang Zheng speak, the shadow let out a light laugh, and then Fang Zheng saw the darkness around it suddenly spread outward. In the next moment, the giant shadow instantly soared up, creating a distance between itself and Fang Zheng!

“Oh?”

Seeing this, Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t you dare fight me?”

“If you were a foolish moron who read too many knight novels, dreaming of showing off your strength and justice by slaying a dragon, then I would have already pinned you to the ground, cutting you open by now. But you’re not that kind of reckless idiot. And I, too, am well aware that humans are a very cunning race. Your power hasn’t reached a level where you can compare to me, but you still bravely attacked me. Therefore, I believe there must be something in your hand that could harm me… Heh heh, humans, fragile, reckless yet dangerous. I would not take the risk.”

Dammit!

Hearing the opponent speak, Fang Zheng also cursed quietly. Indeed, he had this idea; noticing the arrogance of the dragon, he wanted to lure it into attacking him. His vampire had the ability to ignore defenses, and if he could seize the opportunity to strike a solid blow, he would directly cause damage to his opponent, making the fight much easier.

But, the dragon, while arrogant, was not stupid at all, having guessed his intentions?

“You are interesting, human, but you need to learn how to face your master!”

With those words, Fang Zheng suddenly felt the air temperature around him drop, even the sunlight of the High-Tier Heaven dimmed at that moment. He saw the shadow raise its head, and its eyes shone with radiance as they stared at him.

This is… No good!

Fang Zheng certainly knew what this was. Almost instantly, he hurriedly retracted his vampire and attempted to retreat, but at the same time, a cold pitch-black roar descended from the darkness above, heavily crashing onto Fang Zheng.
