Chapter 293: Is That A Dragon!?

.....

Azmond picked out a high-ranking 'disguise' by accident, and he expected that such rashness would come back to bite him in the ass.

But surprisingly, he had no problems with either his identity or being found out by those who were familiar with the 'Original Asher'.

Now, not being discovered when there were tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of monsters in the Luminous Grounds was not what confounded him.

What puzzled him was that he had not taken on the identity of just any monster; he had taken on the appearance of a High-Rank Monster King for God's sake!

A High-Rank Monster King, who was quite a way's into the Unity Form Synthesis Realm, not being recognized was utterly mind-boggling for Azmond!

But after interacting with the common monsterkind who inhabited the First through Eighth Floors, he realized something.

The Kingdom that the original 'Asher' had talked about was essentially unknown to all the other monsterkin. It was like the kingdom full of foxkin didn't even exist!

After some contemplation of the matter and using a few days to mull over it, he came to the conclusion that 'Asher' and 'His Kingdom' were simply in the extreme boonies of the Great Wildlands Forest-

"Mhmu!"

Azmond's train of thought was abruptly interrupted by a certain katana strapped to his back.

"What is it, Emu?" He asked.

"Mhmu! Mhmu!" 'My spidey senses are tingling!'

"Your wha-?"

His expression morphed into a confused one as he tried to get out his question, but he was suddenly interrupted by something.

BOOOOOOOM!

That something being an explosion so loud and explosive that the residual winds from the blast shredded through all the blood-colored lands within a ten thousand mile radius!

"What the hell was that?"

Azmond looked around, and after making sure everyone was okay, he looked toward the source of the immense explosion.

And just as he was about to get out his piece on the analysis of the situation, a certain brown-eyed woman struck preemptively:

An overwhelming aura was emitted from the Whaliceros as it managed to stand its ground, even if only for but a moment.

But, in the end, high aspirations, such as overcoming the might of the dragon, was out of its power bracket.

That was proven true when...

BOOOOOOOOM!!

The silver dragon let loose a dark gray attack that utterly obliterated half of the Whaliceros's body, along with a good chunk of the 'Whaliceros Enclosure'!

*****

WHOOOM!!

Intense winds blew past the hundreds of thousands of monsterkins observing from the overlook as they all started to panic.

"We're all going to become dragon food!"

"Did you see the size of that thing!? We wouldn't even make for a snack!!"

"I had a family member who lived on that Whaliceros N-Now she is"

"A Dark-Silver Dragon means that it has already approached the peak of the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm! What are we supposed to do against something like that!?"

Although the reactions of the onlookers were all different, there was ultimately a common consensus among them.

That consensus being that they would all, without a doubt, die...

In fact, there were already a number of them who died upon getting hit by the residual windsresidual winds that were produced thousands of miles away!

Just that fact alone went to show just how lethal and omnipotent the Dark-Silver Dragon was to all monsterkind.

That was not to mention the irrefutable confusion they felt upon learning that a Dark-Silver Dragonwho was supposed to be a rarity even on the Nineteenth floorsuddenly showed up on the Eighth Floor!

It was completely unbelievable!

Nonetheless, in the middle of such chaos and confusion, a tall, silver foxkin with a woman and a girl in hand looked out at the dragon gulping up all the Whaliceros's.

"This one is strong."

That was all Azmond said before his figure became a little blurry.
