Chapter 1051 -1048: Really Thick Skin

In the year 157 of the Sapphire Calendar, September, the new season’s Pioneer Mandate was being hosted by the Development Committee, while Li Si Te, bored of his stay on Flame Island, decided to visit the Fertile Lands.

Nemean the Giant Lion resided in this place; in several previous visits, he had never caught sight of this legendary Sub-dragon and had always left with a sense of regret. Now returning to the old site, he was more about trying his luck to see if he might encounter Nemean. Even if he didn’t encounter it, he could still pick up some elves to take back.

During this season, the elves that were to be nurtured had mostly matured.

Riding on Formless Dragon Bard, with Crystal White Trajectory initiated, the magic power of the entire Fertile Lands was neatly arranged and prominently displayed within a special vision. However, the magic power feedback light from the elves was weak and easily overshadowed by the light emitted from the Magical Beasts, which is what he mostly saw along the way.

The meat of Magical Beasts, nourished by magic power, was highly nutritious, but it didn’t necessarily taste better than the meat of poultry and livestock reared by humans.

Especially the higher the level of the Magical Beast, the more wood-like the texture of the meat, making it less palatable.

“It seems like this trip is a bust as well, we didn’t find anything, Bard, let’s head back,” Li Si Te said after wandering twice around the Fertile Lands, ready to return with resignation.

However, Bard suddenly cried out, “woo yi ya!”

It noticed something unusual about the ground in the distance and conveyed through their soul-bound connection to Li Si Te—there was a ripple in the space at that spot, surely hosting something special.

It’s undeniable that with age, thanks to the Red Dragon Water and the accumulation of numerous Magic Potions, Bard’s development was rapid, and its abilities increasingly strong. Although it was only over eighty years old, it was not far from maturity. The formidable space talent of a Sacred Dragon enhanced its observational capabilities tremendously.

“Oh, then what are we waiting for, let’s go check it out!”

Flapping its wings.

Like a flashing arrow.

In the blink of an eye, both dragon and rider arrived at the unusual spot Bard had discovered, searching around. This was a lush forest with a thick, sedimentary, and decaying layer of fallen leaves. There was no magic power feedback light around, and it looked just like an ordinary hill in the forest.

However, through the soul-bound connection with Bard, Li Si Te also noticed the anomaly and would not easily overlook it.

“It should be right here, stray magic power in the air causing ripples in space, something unusual buried beneath… Could it be Nemean?” A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, the blue skull design on his face flickering.

With a soft call, the blue skull pattern burst forth from his body, transforming into a dragon constructed of bones.

“Vinnie, please.”

“Your Majesty, no need to be so formal, this is what I should do,” Bone Dragon Vinnie swayed her forelimbs and then suddenly plunged into the decayed layer of fallen leaves.

Like an extra-large, super-fast excavator, Bone Dragon Vinnie’s forelimbs continuously swung, digging through a large amount of sludge.

Just then, the layer of decayed leaves suddenly exploded open, and a massive creature burst from the pit, emitting a ferocious roar. This figure, like a small mountain, swung its vast claws at Bone Dragon Vinnie as it roared.

“Come back, Vinnie!” Li Si Te called.

In an instant, Bone Dragon Vinnie transformed into a Magic Form and projected onto Li Si Te. Their souls connected, turning into a set of Bone Dragon Armor and a Bone Dragon Sword.

Bard flapped its wings and rose high into the air.

Li Si Te, clad in Bone Dragon Armor, coldly watched the massive creature that had leaped out from above.

It bore the shape of a lion, but its mountain-like size was incomparable to any normal lion-type Magical Beast, nearly matching a dragon in stature. It had no mane but dense fur, resembling a fluffy overcoat, with thick legs, a large head, and a short tail, giving it a somewhat bloated appearance.

“Roar!”

This massive lion, tilting its head, stared at the Formless Dragon in the sky, its twin green orbs glistening with a chilling, ruthless light.

“Indeed, it is Nimia the Giant Lion, just as Piero described. It must be a Super Dragon Beast of the Earth Attribute, given its preference for living underground… But its size feels excessively large, even surpassing the size of the Lightning Dragon Turtle, and its magic power is also exceptionally concentrated.”

Liszt even felt that Nimia’s magic power might belong to the category of Superior Magic.

“Let’s test the waters first!”

No sooner said than done, as a Holy Dragon Knight, Liszt would not back down. He swapped his Bone Dragon Sword for the Thunder Fury Dragon Lance, and executed an “Avalanche – Snow Mountain” from the sky.

Moving along the material boundary, the Formless Dragon darted straight towards Nimia the Giant Lion as if it had teleported. Thunder Fury, enveloping a massive wave of Dragon Dou Qi, thrust directly in front of Nimia. At that moment, Nimia leapt high, dodging the attack with agility disproportionate to its size.

“Sonic Boom!”

Missing with the first strike, Liszt struck again, his offensive swelling like a tide.

Rather than retreating, Nimia advanced, leaping and pouncing, clashing head-on with the Holy Dragon. Its movements were agile, but the Formless Dragon was even more so, twisting its body to evade the attack. Then, coordinating with Liszt, it thrust forward with the Dragon Lance. Though it missed the aimed eyes, it pierced the creature’s backside.

“Roar!”

Nimia let out a furious roar.

With the Dragon Lance embedded in its back, it felt like piercing a cowhide with a wire, sensing a vast stagnation and resistance against the force of the lance. However, ultimately, Nimia’s skin could not withstand the piercing of the Dragon Lance and begrudgingly bore a small hole.

Dark red blood flowed heavily, further enraging it as its green eyes reddened.

“This is indeed tough; it definitely has the Superior Magic-level of Earth-Attribute Magic Power!” Liszt’s gaze hovered over the small healing wound on Nimia, having gathered much data. “Nimia has surpassed the level of a Super Dragon Beast, possibly on par with the Phoenix and Unicorn.”

Being on par with the Phoenix and Unicorn meant that it had reached a level equal to that of a dragon.

The brief skirmish had proved this point; able to withstand a fierce assault from a Formless Dragon Knight without any significant damage, was enough to attest to its immense strength.

“Nimia being so powerful indicates that its skin is genuinely valuable. If crafted into Magic Equipment, it could probably withstand attacks even from a Dragon Knight… Such a treasure cannot be missed. Leo, come out, let’s hit big, and slay this boastful Nimia!”

“Oh-ho!”

The Fire Dragon Pattern on his chest lit up, transforming into a flame that surged into the sky, scattering countless sparks as Leo’s massive black-red figure slowly emerged.

Almost instantly restored to a flesh-and-blood body, it charged headfirst at Nimia, clashing directly with the Giant Lion. Its forelimbs’ sharp claws viciously tore into Nimia’s skin, making blood spurt; Nimia, in turn, bit firmly into Leo’s shoulder area.

Several black-red scales burst apart, and what flowed from Leo was not blood but red flames.

“Shadow!” Liszt maneuvered the Formless Dragon Bard, diving into the material boundary and reappearing just as Nimia’s unguarded belly was exposed.

Thunder Fury ruthlessly pierced the supposedly soft belly.

However, to Liszt’s surprise, the skin on Nimia’s abdomen also gave him the feeling of piercing a cowhide with wire, the resistance so immense it was unimaginable.

“No wonder it’s called the Unkillable Nimia. With such thick skin, even a Dragon Knight would need to stab thirty or fifty lances!” Liszt remarked, but his desire to kill grew stronger, “Regrettably, no matter how tough your skin is, you’re just a target for beating. Tomorrow, I will be wearing your skin!”

Mind and spirit connected, Formless Dragon Bard and Fire Dragon Leo responded simultaneously to Liszt’s will.

“Wi-yee-ya!”
