Chapter 862: First Floor - Lu An Against Drakengard
The massive creature in front of him was similar to a massive lizard but with
four tall legs. It stood like a dinosaur, but the body was made of earth with
spiky hills on its back.
Lu An looked up at the thirty meters tall creature in front of him. He met with
the creature's grayish eyes, but he did not back down from the stare. He
frowned after scanning Drakengard's body. The Elder Drake gave an
impression of an indestructible fortress. He then looked down at his right hand
on his sword. He did not know if his less than two meters sword would be able
to hurt the massive creature in front of him.
"Who's killing intent just now?" Drakengard looked down at the ve gures
below him since only ve people were in his territory. Seeming to be able to
discover who the killing intent belonged, the Elder Drake stared down at Lu An.
"Do you mute? Speak, human! This King is asking you!" The Elder Drake raised
its already loud voice. But it barely bothered Lu An as he stared back at the
drake, thinking of how to take down this massive creature. His assassination
was hardly worked against the enemy with the tough defensive mechanism like
this Elder Drake.
"Maybe this will work," Lu An muttered in a low voice, completely ignoring the
Elder Drake. At the same time, the shadow condensed in his sword. He did not
bother to respond to Drakengard as he slashed the sword upward. The
condensed shadow was released, forming the curved blade.
Drakengard sensed the danger of the attack, and a brown shield immediately
formed in the front. The crescent shadow blade hit the barrier and shook.
However, the barrier was strong enough to completely block the shadow blade.
The barrier did not even crack as the Elder released his aura, furious because
the human suddenly attacked, "You dare to assault this King, human!"
Drakengard tried to locate Lu An, but Lu An was no longer in the same spot by
then. The Elder Drake was struck with a sudden confusion for a moment before
he sensed a danger above him. He looked up and saw a giant shadow sword
right above his head. There was no second thought as he immediately set up his
strongest defense. His skin was glowing golden whilst his barrier was still up.
The shadow sword struck down toward Elder Drake's head. Drakengard's gut
feelings saved him from the shadow blade because the barrier broke apart
under the massive shadow sword. The second defense received the shadow
sword and completely blocked Lu An's second attack. The shadow sword
dispersed; at the same time, the golden glow dimmed down.
Drakengard was left unscathed from the massive attack thanks to his fast
reaction. However, he was still on high alert, looking for the human who
attacked him. This time, he sensed the danger from below him. Elder Drake
looked down on his feet and saw the human was controlling his own shadow.
The massive shadow shaped into another sword and pointed toward his belly.
As the shadow ew up from the ground toward his belly, he quickly reacted
with a counterattack. The ground on Lu An's footing suddenly rose, throwing
him o way. The shadow returned to his original shadow, stopping his own
shadow from attacking him. Drakengard looked up and was about to chase Lu
An, but he remembered Lu An was not alone.
Recognizing how dangerous Lu An was, Elder Drake did not want to
underestimate the human friends after experiencing what Lu An was capable
of. As he tried to nd Revalor and the others, the four had disappeared already.
He quickly sensed the four human friends were in the distance already.
Since the four were far away from him, Drakengard focused back on Lu An. He
was furious that a mere human tried to kill him. However, by the time he looked
away from the four, he sensed danger coming toward him. He looked back and
saw the swirling mana arrow accelerating toward him. The arrow was just too
fast, and Elder Drake knew he did not have enough time to cast the barrier to
block the arrow.
Drakengard tried to tilt his head, but the arrow still grazed his face. The mana
arrow exploded, and it hurt a lot for someone who had forgotten the pain. This
was the rst time he felt pain again after hundreds of years of ruling the rst
oor. The Elder Drake let out a furious roar that shook the ground, releasing a
strong shock wave at the same time. As the explosion died down, it revealed
that a chunk of Drakengard's face was missing as green blood owed down.
The Miragul's legs were shaking as he witnessed the angry king, fear and terror
mixed together. If he was a human, he already puked what was in his stomach,
but he was an entity that sucked the others' life force to live, not eating the
normal, so he had nothing to puke.
Revalor maintained his composure as he was not fazed by the furious King. He
was condent in his strength, and this Elder Drake was not a threat to him,
especially after he got his talent from the smart base. Thanks to the talent,
which was his second talent because Elf was born with a natural talent, Revalor
was far stronger than him in the past, so he was not worried about the Epic
Rank Elder Drake in front of him as he could easily kill it, but he left it for Lu An.
His attack was meant to attract Elder Drake away from Lu An, who got knocked
away.
Revalor looked toward the direction where Lu An crashed into and put down his
bow. The Epic Rank Elder Drake was Lu An's prey, so he did not want to kill it.
Even if he killed it, it barely helped him to level up either. So, he would give the
Elder Drake to Lu An as this King of the rst oor would be a massive
experience for Lu An. He lowered the bow and nodded his head.
"Tree man! You will die miserably for angering this King!" Drakengard called
Revalor the tree man because the Elf was known to live in the treehouse.
