Chapter 286

"— —"

A deathly silence enveloped the entire world.

With Vasco in the lead, all the nobles and knights looked at the Black Dragon that was flapping its wings in mid-air. They were all dumbfounded, and their faces were drained of all color.

A second ago, they were still chasing after the dragon as if it was their prey, recklessly discussing how to deal with it.

But now, all that appeared in their hearts was confusion, confusion, and a growing fear.

It couldn't be helped, the Dragon's Might was just too terrifying.

Not long ago, the Black Dragon was struggling painfully to escape. But now, not only did it look completely unscathed, but it also had a monstrous aura. It was even more terrifying than when they first entered the depths of the canyon and saw it lying next to the Mana Source.

Especially the eyes of the Black Dragon that seemed to be able to cover the sky and the sun. The cold ferocity and murderous aura were still undulating.

That ferocious and murderous aura stimulated everyone present to tremble.

Including Vasco.

Why is this happening!? Why is this happening!?

At this moment, Vasco didn't even dare to move. His face was pale, and his heart was screaming wildly.

Although he didn't know what happened, the Black Dragon was obviously free from the interference of the ritual. It had also gotten rid of the magic power and flesh that it had been desperately resisting. It was completely restored to its original state.

No, it wasn't just restored to its original state.

That aura, that magic power, it was clearly stronger than before.

What the hell happened!?

Vasco roared in his heart.

Unfortunately, he would never know that the Black Dragon in front of him had not only been reborn, but also recognized a master, got a name, and even gained the appreciation of the Dragon Lord.

So …

"Run!!!"

Vasco roared.

This roar ignited the fear in everyone's heart.

"Quick … Run!"

"Run!"

"Knights!"

"Protect me!"

The group of nobles went crazy. They screamed hysterically as they ran for their lives.

The same was true for the knights. At this moment, they couldn't care less about protecting the nobles. One by one, they ran for their lives, without the slightest thought of resisting.

But could they escape?

The answer was obviously no.

"Boom!"

The Black Dragon in the sky spewed a scorching dragon breath toward the ground.

"Boom!"

This was the roar of the earth.

The invincible dragon breath landed on the ground and blasted the ground, turning everything it touched into a scorched land.

The temperature of the atmosphere suddenly rose rapidly.

The berserk Mana began to swirl around him.

As for those who were engulfed by the dragon breath, they did not even have the time to scream before they were all vaporized on the spot by the dragon breath. Not even their corpses were left behind.

"Roar!"

You Lin immediately let out a joyful roar. With a flap of her dragon wings, she swayed her huge body and immediately chased after the humans who were fleeing for their lives.

The dragon breath continued to descend from the sky, incinerating everything on the ground and the nobles and knights, wantonly reaping lives.

For a time, a corner of the canyon was lit up with flames and dragon roars. Not only did the pitch-black dragon's breath keep ringing, but it was also gradually being burned into a purgatory.

"Quick! Hurry! "

Vasco, who was running away in the crowd, roared at the people around him. He did manage to scare some people, causing them to stop involuntarily and chant defensive magic spells in a panic.

However, before they could finish their incantations, the scorching Dragon Breath descended from the sky once again and landed on their bodies.

The roars and screams sounded together, lasting for a long time.

Vasco immediately took advantage of this opportunity to run for his life without looking back.

Defensive magic spells?

In the face of the dragon breath, which was said to be able to break through all defenses, that kind of thing was not even as good as a piece of paper.

Vasco was well aware of this, and he did not really hope to rely on some defensive magic spells that not even superior-grade to block the black dragon's breath. He only wanted to use those people as shields to fight for a chance to escape.

After all, if someone was chanting magic spells, there would be a surge of magic there. The black dragon's attention would definitely be attracted by the magic, and it would attack there first.

This was Vasco's wishful thinking. As he continued to run, he roared at the people around him, coaxing them to attract You Lin's firepower.

Needless to say, it did have some effect.

At the very least, You Lin's attention was attracted by the waves of Mana. Without hesitation, she attacked that direction and sent those pitiful victims to hell.

Vasco also took the opportunity to run a distance, even jumping off a cliff. He only hoped to escape from You Lin's sight, so that it would not notice him, a puny human, escaping.

His opponent was the king of monsters, a real dragon. Surely it would not notice that a puny human had escaped, right?

Vasco could only place his hopes on this, so he did not hesitate to jump off the cliff and escape from the dragon's sight as soon as possible.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"No!"

"Ahhhhh!"

The screams of the nobles and knights who had been with Vasco echoed, reaching Vasco's ears.

But at this moment, Vasco had already ignored them.

"Crack!"

The noble who jumped down from the cliff landed heavily at the bottom of the cliff. His feet made a cracking sound.

"Ahhhhhhh …!"

The excruciating pain caused this ruthless man to howl in pain, and his whole body fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.

Vasco did not need to deliberately check to know that his feet were probably crippled.

But Vasco could not care less. While enduring the pain, he crawled on the ground, crawling to the back of a rock at the bottom of the cliff.

He needed to find a place to hide.

In this situation, hiding was the only way he could escape the black dragon's pursuit.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! "

Vasco could not help but shed tears at the miserable state he was in, and his heart was filled with hatred.

"I haven't killed that woman, how can I die here …!?"

Vasco relied on this thought to support himself, hoping that he could escape this disaster.

As long as he could escape this disaster …

"One day, I will make all of you pay the price …!"

Whether it was a human or a dragon, it was the same.

Vasco thought in a deranged manner.

But he did not have the chance.

Unknowingly, the blood-curdling screams and rumbling sounds stopped.

On the other hand, there was a loud rumble behind Vasco, as if something huge had landed there.

Vasco's body, which was crawling in a sorry state, froze there.

His expression was also extremely stiff.

"Hehe … Hahaha …"

After a long while, Vasco laughed.

However, as he laughed, he began to cry again.

He used the last of his strength to turn around and look behind him.

There, the black dragon spread its wings and looked down at him, its eyes still so cold, so cruel.

"Damn thing …!"

Finally, Vasco let out a roar.

What responded to him was a scorching dragon's breath.

"Boom!"

At the bottom of the cliff, fire and explosion occurred at the same time.

Black Dragon You Lin flew out from within and flew in the direction she had come from. She had successfully retreated.
