Chapter 1278: Chapter 202: Teacher, Become One with Me!

Until the end, it defeated everyone standing in its way, leaving only Mahdi and the still resisting ‘Golan’. It swatted Golan, who was constantly evading attacks in subspace, like a fly, and then laughed maniacally, opening its mouth to completely devour ‘Mahdi’, the inheritor of the other two Rites of the Star Gods.

[This is my victory!] With the left claw pressing down the Fifth Energy Level Split Soul, the right hand sent the bearer of the Rites of the Star Gods into its mouth, laughed the dark gold dragon: [This is what I…]

Clang!

At the inverse scale, a sharp pain awakened the dark gold dragon; dark gold blood spurted from its throat. It let out a horrific howl unimaginable to humans—whose wail could blow away mountains, shatter clouds, and spew out scorching white flames burning everything to ashes?

[Damn, I’ve been breached]

In that instant, regaining clarity, the dark gold dragon covered the vulnerable inverse scale on its throat with a forepaw, thinking of a terrifying possibility: [That Silver Fairy actually hit my weak point!]

The Silver Fairy had been flung away by the instinctive burst of power, turned into a silver egg, location unknown, yet the dark gold dragon found it inconceivable: [It actually directly found the most fragile point on my inverse scale to attack?!]

The dragon’s inverse scale, although a weakness, was incredibly sturdy; there had even been cases where the dragon’s skull was shattered, but the inverse scale remained intact. Yet the Silver Fairy could accurately hit the fragile point and shatter it.

[Something’s wrong, these people are not right!]

Thinking thus, the dark gold dragon intended to change location. As a True Dragon, it was in no hurry, just needing a few minutes to catch its breath, and then it could easily crush these small beings by employing the Sublimator combat strategies it had learned…

But just as the dragon intended to leave, it was shocked to find its other three feet were firmly locked in place by a shadow swamp, all its upward forces neutralized, and it could only remain where it was!

[Damn, this is a preplanned conspiracy, next—]

The dark gold dragon’s mind raced, realizing in an instant that this was the countermeasure the enemy had prepared for it, one ring linked to another. Once it began to choose, it would fall into the trap.

But how did they do it? Who could devise such a perfect, seamless plan within mere dozen seconds?!

Everything converged upon ‘Ian’, and the dark gold dragon roared, its six eyes shooting out six crimson lasers. But just as these lasers were about to hit the smiling Prophet, a blazing light flared before the white-haired youth, absorbing and converting all incoming lights.

At this moment, a bright, melodious bird call echoed from the void, like an immortal phoenix, or the solar light illuminating the entire world, shining with a burning sensation over heaven and earth.

“This is—”

Aina was surrounded by endless golden flames, a U-shaped bird motif appearing on his forehead. The blood vessels, nerves, and Origin Quality circuits formed an immensely intricate golden totem pattern covering his body. As he breathed, platinum light flames burst forth from every pore and aperture, finally converging between his hands into an ever-pulsing, expanding golden-red solar sphere.

“—the Sun’s Fury!”

Boom! Aina roared, propelling the solar sphere in his hands forward. At that second, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a newborn miniature sun traced an erratic trajectory, like an elliptical rugby ball, soaring towards the dark gold dragon!

“Don’t be careless! This won’t kill it at all!”

Endless light engulfed the dark gold dragon, yet Ian solemnly shouted: “Gaer, prepare for the final blow—”

“Okay!” Deeply inhaling, Gaer, who had been gathering strength, gritted his teeth and raised his Gale Hammer.

And just then, a painfully angry roar rang out, the light receded, and the dark gold dragon reappeared—at its center a nearly kilometer-wide depression, explosive light and heat radiated in all directions, the entire test space trembling slightly, seeming on the verge of collapse.

Yet the dark gold dragon was far from defeated, its scales shattered, the once-strong scales appeared to be melting under Crown Prince Carlos’s astonishingly full-force strike, a mere echo of power couldn’t compare to a genuine Fourth Energy Level entity.

However, a Fourth Energy Level being, even just a body, isn’t so easily destroyed. With endless rage, the dragon soared from the pit, condensing a mighty light beam in its mouth, yet the target wasn’t the ready-to-defend group but behind them, where Mahdi was still tirelessly absorbing the medication to heal.

[Die!]

The dark gold dragon was no fool, fully aware of why these young elites were attacking with all their might, they were risking everything to buy Mahdi time.

Although the dark gold dragon couldn’t fathom how Mahdi could possibly defeat it, for the sake of the Rites of the Star Gods and erring on the side of caution, it would show the utmost respect!

And at that moment.

“Go!”

Gaer grinned, wildly laughing at the airborne dark gold dragon, using all his might, he hurled the hammer.
