Chapter 501
chapter 370 part 2
"I command you to possess my body and release your full power!"
The words, filled with all the airs of a teenager's fantasy, echoed through the woods.
Lakyus, who usually muttered such things to herself, now cried them out in a plea born of either expectation or desperation.
If this were a normal day, the members of Blue Rose would have certainly mocked their "Fiend Leader" for such words, but at this moment, there was only Lakyus's grim resolve.
Gagaran charged forward alongside her, roaring as she swung her hammer high. "[Super Consecutive Attack]!"
The two of them leaped into the air, flying straight at him.
Hearing Lakyus's shout, Tang Zheng's draconic eyes trembled slightly, his pupils narrowing into two thin golden lines. Could that magic sword truly be hiding some immense power?
After all, the original light novel hadn't gone into much detail about it.
However, the next moment, upon sensing the non-elemental energy fluctuation, Tang Zheng knew he had been overthinking things. He raised his arm and extended his dragon claw, pressing it forward.
"[Unyielding Fortress]."
A layer of iridescent luster shimmered across the surface of his palm, which was covered in crimson dragon scales.
Facing the descending dragon claw that loomed over them, Gagaran raised her shattering hammer, swinging it heavily in a fluid, stormy barrage.
Lakyus's expression tensed, and the swollen magic sword in her hand came slashing down as well.
*Pfft—*
There was no deafening roar of a violent collision.
Lakyus and Gagaran's attacks were like stones sinking into the sea, constantly being nullified and dispelled the moment they made contact with the dragon claw.
The moment their attacks ended!
*Bang! Bang!*
The figures of Lakyus and Gagaran fell helplessly from the air in despair, crashing onto the ground with a dull thud.
The magic sword slid from her grasp and dug into the earth.
The shattering hammer fell to the side.
"How is that possible..." Lakyus trembled as she lay prone on the ground, her lips white.
Gagaran was even more incredulous. "Martial arts... How could it be martial arts?"
Tang Zheng's massive figure leaned forward slightly, looking down at the two who had lost all their strength and collapsed. He continued his arrogant facade.
"Are you surprised, ants?"
A mocking voice rang out.
"As the most powerful race, most dragons are filled with pride and laziness. By relying solely on the power of our bodies, we are already invincible."
"However, there are a few clever dragons who will learn a certain amount of magic to deal with different combat situations or their own weaknesses."
"As for the martial arts used by you humans, the vast majority of dragons disdain to learn them."
"But I am different—"
Tang Zheng bared his sharp teeth, a faint smile playing on his face—one that was part mockery, part self-satisfaction.
"You weak humans can rely on martial arts to display even greater power."
"In that case—as a great Dragon Lord, if I use martial arts, I should be able to become even stronger. And as it happens, your human martial arts are not difficult for me to learn."
As he spoke, the despair in the eyes of Lakyus and Gagaran grew even thicker, a hopelessness that seemed to rise from the very depths of hell.
It wasn't despair born from a gap in power!
While speaking, Tang Zheng once again raised his white dragon claw and swung it towards the two collapsed on the ground.
"Wait!"
Evileye yelled in a pleading tone, "You call them ants and me a mortal. There's something you want from me, right?"
"Otherwise, with your status, you wouldn't have suddenly attacked us. And that red-robed magic caster who escaped before, I know who he is!"
"[Quad-Light Slash]."
Amidst Evileye's shouts, Tang Zheng swung his dragon claw.
In an instant, the five sharp claw tips seemed to transform into five sharp weapons. In a flash, each claw then created four slashes in mid-air.
In a blur, twenty massive slashes appeared out of thin air.
Tang Zheng moved his arm slightly upward, changing the target of his attack from Lakyus and Gagaran to the jungle in front of him.
*Boom!*
A piercing explosion boomed like thunder, erupting from nowhere. The twenty slashes seemed to pulverize the very air before them, and a ferocious storm of sharp energy erupted.
*Bang!*
The lush, tall trees in front were instantly destroyed and turned to dust. The gale, carrying a sharp aura, formed a straight shockwave that annihilated the jungle several dozen meters ahead.
Pulverized wood chips and debris shot into the sky, dyeing it a greenish-brown!
Lakyus and Gagaran stared blankly at the scene.
The air became silent in that moment.
Tang Zheng exhaled a wave of heat from his nostrils. Out of sight of the people before him, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
He had already experimented with it back in the hills. Using the Dragon Lord's body to execute martial arts was slightly stronger than doing so in his human form.
It was probably the effect of passives like [Claw and Wing Enhancement]. Not only that, but his massive size also provided a certain advantage.
"A pity that I can only use martial arts with one arm for now," Tang Zheng thought to himself.
A Dragon Lord's entire body was a weapon. Both its claws and wings dealt slashing damage. If he could execute martial arts with them simultaneously, the effect would be unimaginable.
It would probably require specialized training.
Additionally, this move could be combined with [Mana Slash] from his [Magic Swordsman] class to release long-range slashes. A single dragon claw could release twenty slashes.
This was far more powerful than swinging a sword in his human form.
"You're very smart, mortal."
Tang Zheng raised the arm holding Evileye, bringing her to his eye level.
"The Undead are difficult to control and influence. If I killed your companions, I probably wouldn't be able to get an answer from you easily, which would be a headache for me."
Seeing him avoid her companions with that terrifying attack and hearing his words, Evileye understood she had guessed correctly. Some of her pain dissipated, and she let out a heavy sigh of relief inwardly.
"However, before that..."
Tang Zheng maneuvered his thick, powerful crimson tail, turning his body slightly to look at the horde of goblins behind him, who were cowering on the ground in fear from his draconic pressure.
"Filthy green vermin."
The tip of his tail pointed slightly downward.
"[Super Consecutive Attack]."
The thick, powerful crimson tail became a red afterimage, striking the ground heavily. The very earth of the jungle trembled. This attack utilized a passive skill: [Tail Hammer Enhancement]—a blunt-force attribute that produced an area-of-effect earthquake and knockback upon striking the ground.
*BOOM!!*
The ground where the tail struck seemed to turn into ocean waves, surging forward in crests. Although the tens of thousands of goblins occupied a relatively large area, a powerful shockwave spread out. Without so much as a single scream, the tens of thousands of goblins were turned into meat paste and subsequently swallowed by the surging earth!
*Rumble— Rumble—*
Dust flew into the sky, and countless rubble, trees, and other debris were sent flying.
A powerful earthquake enveloped a one-kilometer radius.
*Crash!*
A large swath of the jungle at the base of the hill was turned into ruins, leaving only an uneven, shattered landscape of broken ground and splintered wood, forming a brand new fissure in the forest.
Lakyus and the others were on the upper part of the forest hill, and since Tang Zheng had intentionally controlled the direction, the impact on them was not significant.
Gagaran's head spun as she coughed up more blood. She stared blankly at the distant jungle that had been turned to ruins, feeling the limits of what it meant to be human.
Lakyus's pale lips were slightly parted, her mind a blank.
"Your martial skill is not bad."
Tang Zheng turned his head back, glanced at Gagaran below, and then looked at his stat panel.
[Experience Bar: 7,580,000 / 1,880,000]
He had only gained 100,000 experience points? On average, each goblin provided only 10 experience points, perhaps not even that much.
The experience decay after leveling up was getting more and more severe. Thankfully, when he obtained experience from angels, there was no decay during the absorption process.
"Tell me, why do you possess the aura of Wild Magic?" Tang Zheng looked at Evileye and asked indifferently.
