Chapter 881 Operation Poison Drain [IV]



The dragon is indeed blind and no longer can see. It lashes everywhere even though there are no enemies in the area it was attacking. But its hearing seems sharper as it is attracted to loud sounds and attacks whenever it hears something.n0VElUsb.c0m

"Lucia, Riko, try using explosions to attract the dragon and lure it, Sora and I will try to cripple it down on the way. Pixie, go to Lucia and Riko and assist them in healing in case they get hit by the dragon's attack."

"Roger that!" Riko nodded enthusiastically.

"No worries, Master, we will get this done," Lucia confidently nodded as well.

Pixie headed to the two and landed on Riko's hat before they headed back to their job.

"Sora, we need to attack the dragon as fast as we can and move away as fast as we can as well. There's no telling where the dragon will attack or it will try to trace down where the attackers are coming in."

"Then, we should shoot it down with lightning magic. They don't bring noises much unless they are accompanied by thunder. They are fast and can cripple enemies in quick succession with some chances to even paralyze enemies."

"I didn't think of that, alright let's do that."

As soon as Lucia and Riko started producing blasts, the dragon's attention immediately shifted to their direction. Roaring, it flies straight to them, intending to smash through and kill them.

"Attack!"

Sora and I immediately fired off our spells. I have a lightning spell spent so I do have something silent but crippling enough for the dragon.

The dragon might have sensed the attack, but since it seems to come out of nowhere, its senses are more focused on the explosions, thinking the attacks were all coming from that direction. Since the plan is working, we continue the process to at least whittle down the dragon to a manageable health and we can take it down once it lands.

Now that we were almost to the area where we will be fighting the dragon, I pulled back the transceiver and alerted everyone there.

"We are almost there, ready for the trap. The dragon is coming in!"

We continue to blast the enemy without stopping until the dragon is finally in the area where I laid down the traps and everyone else is waiting for the dragon to fall in.

"NOW!"

Lucia and Riko immediately dodge away and let the dragon dive straight to the trap which is a complicated wiring trap similar to a spider web. The more the dragon struggles, the more the wires entangle the dragon's body.

"Alright! It's a success! Now pump up that electric trap all the way up! Everyone else, get the dragon drenched in water!"

As soon as I ordered them, everyone pulled out the water guns that I made before. It's one of the items I was planning to sell during my time as Bladeheart once a summer event comes rolling in. Who knows if this will become something that we will be using for an operation?

Everyone fired the water inside the water gun and slowly drench the dragon with water. The dragon tried struggling but the wire continues to bind all of the dragon's limbs. Even the wings are not able to move freely as well, making a mess for the dragon.

"Charge up the voltage!"

Pandora who I entrusted to release the voltage immediately pulled the crank to the highest level, causing a surge of electricity towards the wet dragon. Everyone stops firing the water gun as well as they might be at risk of catching the electricity while it was just intended for the dragon.

ROAAAAAAAARRR!

The dragon roared in pain as thousands worth of voltage discharges through its body. I can even see some parts of the dragon's body began to turn black and the smell of the burnt flesh can be smelled as well.

It didn't take long for the discharge to run out of electricity. It didn't matter much though as that was the most necessary thing. The moment the electricity runs out, the whole trap breaks down and the dragon fell to the ground with blood and its scales falling from its body.

"Did we win?" Rika tried to approach but I immediately stopped her.

"Most likely not. This dragon might be dying but it is still holding up on what it can do. It's more likely that it is still alive. Keep your distance."

We kept our distance. Not because the dragon is going to attack but to ensure that it will not go on a rampage. And I was right. It didn't take long for the dragon to stand back up. Despite being totally weakened and its body in bad shape, the dragon is still standing back up. No wonder it manages to survive the poison it received back then but it's already in its dying state. I can feel its suffering from the poison and all of the injuries it acquired from our recent attack.

It's not begging for us to spare its life.

It's begging for us to kill it.

"I don't know what happened to you and how you received that poison in your body but now your suffering shall stop here. Whether you like it or not, you will have to rest in piece! Everyone, attack!"

I don't know if it was just my imagination or not but the dragon smiled. It does look like a smile from my perspective but I don't know whether it was just an illusion of view or the dragon actually did that.

That day, the dragon didn't bother to fight back. It welcomed all of the attacks it received and one fatal blow from my Versatile Weapon ended the dragon's life once and for all. When we killed it, we didn't feel like we won, it was like a one-sided massacre. However, it seems the dragon felt that it was fine. And I think it was more than happy that it died at our hands.

As soon as the dragon drew its last breath, the huge body of the dragon disintegrated to pieces, like dust and dirt piled together but lost its final foundation and collapsed.

"It's over..."

...

...

...

After the dragon's death, every part of the dragon's body disappeared, not even leaving a single bone or scale for us to salvage. However, not everything disintegrated. One lump of suspicious things fell after we killed the dragon. The moment it fell into the grass, all of the surrounding grass immediately died and wilted. I got some suspicions on what this is but I still don't know if I am right.

I warned everyone to not touch it as this might be the item that caused the dragon to die a horrible death. And so I called out Cath Palug.

"For the first time, you called me out for once. I can't believe my ears!"

"Oy, don't be mistaken. I called you here to identify whether this thing is the one you meant to be the primordial poison you are talking about."

Cath Palug stopped his antics and approached the lump of something and started sniffing it. One sniff and his face turned to disgust.

"Ugh. Smell so bad. This sh*t is just so disgusting I can immediately tell I don't like it."

"So, is this the poison you are talking about?" I asked.

"Yes. The primordial poison. It might not look like the one I saw before but this thing is indeed the primordial poison that I know."

"Primordial Poison?" Father approached the lump and tried to poke it with a branch.

"Don't touch it directly or you will slowly rot and slowly die while this thing keeps you alive while you suffer from it. Would you like that?" Cath Palug grinned and when my father heard that, Father immediately retracts from poking the lump.

"Are there any other uses for this thing?" Pandora asked as she looked at it with a curious glance.

"Aside from bearing a very deadly poison that can slowly put the one poisoned to slowly suffer a painful but imminent death, it doesn't do anything and I doubt you can use it for something especially if it has a byproduct of producing poison. Anyways, I will go back to sleep. After sniffing this thing, I would rather have some good rest for a while."

After that, Cath Palug returned. Although he does not feel poisoned, it seems he is a bit lethargic by this thing and the moment he felt it, he decided it's not worth it.

"So if this is the poison, how do we remove it here? We can't afford to have another case of that poisoning once more."

Just as we are trying to figure things out, the Versatile Weapon awakened and appeared.

"Yummy looking piece of garbage! If no one wanted this, I will gladly devour this thing!"

Before any of us can say anything, the shadow dragon devoured the Primordial Poison.
