Chapter 280

At this moment, Shien was really surprised.

"It's a dragon?"

Yes.

The monster that Shien punched to the ground was a dragon.

Its body was pitch black, and its scales were distinct. Its body was at least a hundred meters long, and its limbs were very thick. Its pair of dragon claws were so sharp that they seemed to be flickering with cold light, making people shudder.

Its pair of dragon wings were very wide and thick, as if they could cover the sky. When they were spread out, they were estimated to be more than a hundred meters long.

Its head was as hideous as a crocodile's, and its dragon eyes were so fierce that people did not dare to look at them.

Through the feedback of the skill [Identify], Shien knew its level.

[Lv.93]

It was already above level 90.

But …

"Isn't there something wrong with its condition?"

Shien frowned.

Taking a closer look, the Black Dragon that had fallen to the ground was struggling in pain. The Mana on its body was very chaotic, and there seemed to be something rampaging in its body, causing its body to undulate. It looked very frightening.

Moreover, every time its mana was chaotic, and every undulation of its body would cause its level to fluctuate.

Shien could see that the dragon's level sometimes rose several times in one go, and sometimes fell. The lowest level was 93, and the highest was 99. It was almost at max level.

Looking at this black dragon, Shien's mind flashed, and he instantly understood the reason.

"Is it resisting the Alchemy Ritual?"

That's right.

This black dragon was resisting the Alchemy Ritual.

Its spirit was close to going berserk, but it was not completely berserk. It was barely maintaining a part of its consciousness.

It seemed to have killed many alchemy demons and absorbed their magic power and flesh, but it was unwilling to become an alchemy demon, so it kept resisting the absorption of the alchemy demons' magic power and flesh. That was why its magic power was in such a mess, and its body was fluctuating. Even its level was fluctuating. It was very unstable.

Presumably, this dragon's true level should be 93, and the reason why it suddenly rose was because of the alchemy demon's mana and flesh in its body.

If it completely absorbed the mana and flesh, it would probably be able to rise to level 99, right?

However, the price of that was becoming a disgusting alchemy demon and becoming a monster that lost its mind. In the end, it would become a sacrifice for the young demon, and be devoured by the young demon.

"If I were to devour such an offering, then the Devil Cultivator's young body's power would become very terrifying."

Shien realized this, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Roar!"

On the other hand, the Black Dragon kept struggling and roaring in pain, desperately suppressing the Mana and flesh in its body.

Obviously, it did not want to become an alchemy demon, nor did it want to become a sacrifice.

Of course, the most important thing was that its dignity would not allow it to fall into that state.

From its roar, Sean could hear a sense of persistence, determination, and an uncompromising and crazy will.

"My goodness, as expected of the lord who has occupied the Adol Canyon for 400 years. He does have the demeanor of a Dragon King."

Originally, Shien thought that he might as well get rid of it to prevent the young demon from obtaining such a high quality sacrifice.

Originally, Sean was still thinking that in order to prevent the young demon from obtaining such an exquisite sacrifice, he might as well get rid of it.

Now, Sean decided to save its life.

Immediately, Shien unsheathed the holy sword at his waist and unsealed it without hesitation.

Immediately, Sean pulled out the Holy Sword from his waist and unsealed it without hesitation.

As the first seal was unsealed, the holy sword once again emitted a dazzling brilliance that illuminated the entire world.

As the first layer of the seal was undone, the Holy Sword once again emitted a dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire world.

As if sensing a threat, the black dragon looked in Shien's direction and roared.

"What are you roaring for?" Shien grinned. "I'm doing this to help you, blockhead."

"What are you roaring for?" Shien grinned. "I'm doing this to help you, blockhead."

With that, like a sharp arrow, Sean suddenly sprang out and charged in the direction of the Black Dragon.

"Boom!"

Seeing that Shien was flying toward it at a frightening speed, the black dragon opened its huge mouth without hesitation and spat out a scorching breath of fire.

That was the dragon's breath.

The dragon's breath, which was said to be able to break through all defenses, enveloped Shien just like that.

Shien did not dare to take it head-on.

The holy sword had only unlocked the first seal, and it could only reduce the damage by half. Resistance skills were ineffective against the dragon's breath. If Shien dared to charge into the dragon's breath, he would be skinned alive even if he did not die.

Hence, as Shien swooped down, he added the [Demon Sword] to the holy sword, causing a glittering magic blade to burst forth from the holy sword.

Immediately after, Shien raised the holy sword and slashed at the storm-like dragon's breath.

"Pfft!"

The golden [Demon Sword] cleanly cut the dragon's breath, causing it to be split into two. They brushed past Shien and flew toward the sky.

Sean used the holy sword that was attached with the [Demon Sword] to cut through the dragon's breath, like a reef against the waves. While separating the dragon's breath, he quickly approached the black dragon.

In the blink of an eye, Shien had already completely split the dragon's breath and landed on the back of the black dragon.

"[Supplication · Fatigue]."

Shien cast the Supplication spell on the black dragon below him.

As the name suggested, it was specially used to deal with creatures. It could force creatures into a state of fatigue, depriving them of their physical strength and even mana.

Although it was only an intermediate-level Supplication spell, with the support of Shien's outrageous mana, the effect was naturally more terrifying than ordinary high-level spells.

"Roar!"

The black dragon could feel its physical strength and mana being drained at an alarming rate, causing it to panic and roar repeatedly.

"[Supplication · Acceleration]."

In order not to give the black dragon a chance to struggle and fight back, Shien released a new Supplication spell, and the target of the Supplication was the "fatigue" characteristic that he had just cast.

If other mages were to see this, they would definitely be shocked, wouldn't they?

It was simply unheard of to actually deal with Supplication spells.

But Shien succeeded.

With [Magic · Supplication] upgraded to the maximum level, even such an operation could be done by Shien.

Hence, after "Acceleration", the "fatigue" became even more ferocious, depriving the black dragon's physical strength and mana at an even more astonishing speed.

The black dragon only felt that its strength was finally completely lost, and in the end, it fell to the ground unwillingly, never to get up again.

This made the Black Dragon feel as if his doomsday had finally arrived.

"Roar —!!!"

Thus, in the end, the black dragon let out a bitter and unwilling roar.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the mana and flesh in the black dragon's body finally went berserk.

Without the black dragon's own suppression, the mana and flesh naturally went berserk, and immediately wanted to fuse into the black dragon's body and turn it into a refining demon.

Unfortunately …

"The situation has changed, my lord."

Shien suddenly smiled, and quickly put a hand on the black dragon's body, an astonishing amount of mana surging from his body.

The mana was so huge that the black dragon could not help but open its eyes wide.

At this time, Shien had already activated a skill that he had not used for a long time — [Taming].

The surging mana immediately poured into the black dragon's body in a special way.
