Chapter 1260: Chapter 199: Dark Gold Colossus Dragon: Trying to Play Me?

Has anyone ever listened closely to the thunder?

Many people have heard the sound of thunder, seen the mighty lightning strike from afar, tearing the sky apart. But how many have witnessed and heard the thunder up close, as it falls right before their eyes?

Now, inside the Subspace Labyrinth, in the Tower Dragonbone Plaza, the members of the Exploration Team are hearing and seeing the thunder up close.

A fist pierced through the atmosphere like Thunderclap, amidst the rolling sonic boom, attacking the already severely wounded Elf Girl.

If it were an ordinary Sublimator, seeing this fist would already bring them to the brink of death, losing half their life before the gust and force of the punch even touched them. But for someone as powerful as ‘Golan,’ seeing this fist heading straight for their head brought even more despair, because with her current strength, it was utterly impossible to block this blow.

Fast! Too fast! Heavy! Too heavy! Whether to dodge, defend, or counter, there was no longer time.

Bang!

In the next instant, ‘Golan’s’ head vanished, as if directly hit by a hyper-speed electromagnetic cannon, leaving only a mist of blood dispersed around.

And only now did the continuous booming sonic blasts sound off, like thunder exploding right beside the ears!

Yet, despite delivering such a punch powerful enough to smash a hilltop, the Black-Haired Knight’s face didn’t look good—because ‘Golan’s’ headless body drifted along with his punch’s force, flying hundreds of meters out.

And ‘Golan’ was not dead yet—the pitch-black cracks blossomed around her, gathering countless blood mists to form a crimson head, freeing her from the knight’s previous constraints, giving her a moment to breathe.

Nonetheless, her body was more severely injured.

Upon closer inspection, beneath the bloodstains covering her, white fragments of bone protruded from her flesh, blood vessels and nerves torn, her flesh and organs all battered, resembling more a severely damaged corpse rather than a human, falling just a step shy of complete disintegration.

However, her heart remained intact.

Thus, only to see the flesh squirm and nerves reconnect, just a few breaths later, apart from the head already shattered by the knight’s punch, Golan’s body formed a basic humanoid shape, with black mist swirling around, granting this form fighting capability.

“…This regeneration… is it Dragon Blood?”

Staring at this scene, Ian didn’t hastily act again, instead continuously releasing his grip on the right hand that crushed the opponent’s head earlier, forcing out dark clusters of toxic curse: “Crushing the head is useless, not surprising, given the presence of a soul, damaging the physical cerebral organs merely reduces thinking and fighting efficiency.”

“But filling herself with toxins before the battle? Did she anticipate being defeated by me, or…”

Ian sneered: “I see, she wanted to test my Unyielding Fortress completion? Simply didn’t expect my exertion far exceeded her imagination, hence suffering a silent loss.”

“Sure enough, during the Dark Moon turmoil, there was intervention from another Fifth Energy Level… and this old rascal likely played the key role!”

[Old Ancestor]

On the other side, within Golan’s Soul Space, the Elf Girl’s soul complained: [You left my body falling apart—I did exert training for over ten years, never slacking a moment, yet handed to you, within mere seconds it became this!]

[Don’t worry, our Bloodline doesn’t permit dying so easily]

The ancient will glanced at the knight currently de-toxifying himself, pondering within: [On the contrary, Mahdi… his power being this strong, truly unfathomable]

[Is the Unyielding Fortress truly this strong?] Golan also observed Ian: [With your power enhancing, my body can wield higher Heart Light strength, you personally controlling it, yet still can’t withstand two hits from him?]

[No. The Unyielding Fortress isn’t that strong]

The Old Ancestor, the Fifth Energy Level powerhouse from the National Domain Department, a fragment of Campari National Domain remarked: [This is the strength from the person]

[In essence, the Unyielding Fortress is merely a Master Throne inheritance developed by The Empire, equal to your and my Bloodline, even if Hiliard had any ideas back then, innovated, that was at best half a level high upon perfection]

[At present, whether perfected or not is unclear to me, but this new generation’s Unyielding Fortress able to crush you all is simply because ‘he’ is extraordinarily strong himself]

Saying so, Campari solemnly noted: [Mahdi… he might be more of a genius than Hiliard!]

“Ladies and gentlemen, what are you waiting for, can’t you see his goal is to obliterate everyone present!”

The message within the mind was momentary, in reality, ‘Golan’s’ Origin Quality echoed through the atmosphere: “Unleash your strength…”

Before finishing, she witnessed Mahdi swing another sword into void, and continuous surging cliff edges rising like waves rushing towards herself, forcing her to interrupt mid-sentence, accelerating to evade swiftly.

[Cliffedge Sword—created by Hiliard back then, a supreme technique of integrated offense and defense, a single strike capable of triggering earthquakes and semi-permanent mountains…]

Dodging the Black-Haired Knight’s attacks, Campari couldn’t help sighing: [That guy, walked away with Yinaiga’s legacy back then, no one knows what that legacy was… I also don’t comprehend why Axel doesn’t chase it, perhaps such free wandering is safest? Indeed, we can’t invade The Empire’s domain, conducting a large scale search for someone evidently leaving no trace at all]
