Chapter 589 589: Hand-to-Hand Combat with a Giant Dragon
Intense impact force mixed with violent airflow and high temperatures. Artoria raised her Holy Sword and gauntlet, blocking in front of her, magical energy instantly congealing on her body surface as if substantive.
Seraphina behind her let out a miserable cry. Even with Artoria blocking the vast majority of the attack's aftermath, she still had her eardrums directly ruptured by that terrifying explosion, and her brain also suffered a severe concussion.
High-temperature steam was everywhere, electric currents flashing, and crackling sounds filled the air.
Aetoris had completely lost consciousness. Seraphina covered her head in pain, completely unable to maintain her balance.
And these were already the only two people on the battlefield able to maintain vital signs.
Whoosh!
Artoria slashed her sword blade downwards, rolling up an intense wind pressure, immediately blowing away the high-temperature steam around them, revealing the postures of the two in the smoke.
No, strictly speaking, it was one person and one dragon.
The white robe on the silver-haired woman's body showed large patches of scorched black. The chest and waist were already torn open, revealing silver-white scales. The woman's right foot was raised, the position of the foot completely turned into a huge dragon claw, seemingly wanting to tear Mercenary Tao apart.
But Mercenary Tao stood in place, arms folded. Just raising his left foot and stepping on that huge dragon claw, he suppressed this living giant dragon.
This is a true Dragon!
Artoria touched her chest with her left hand. There, a Red Dragon's heart was similarly beating. Even if it was a concept created by magical means, it was indeed forged to imitate this high-level species on the mystic side.
And before her eyes was a silver-white giant dragon.
Kaito Shirogane felt the increasingly strong power under his foot. That innate intense endowment of a pure-blooded giant dragon was completely displayed at this moment. Even though he had long transcended the mundane, a creature like a giant dragon, growing up normally, would exactly possess physical qualities close to his own.
Even, after completely manifesting the dragon body, the amount of muscle would explosively increase.
The corners of Kaito Shirogane's mouth hooked up. He suddenly realized that this was indeed his first time truly fighting a legendary Dragon. In the past, he had only come into contact with them through various materials or Reincarnators' bloodline abilities.
At this moment, a living, breathing Secondary Generation giant dragon was right before his eyes.
Thump!
Orpheus Niflheim's golden slit pupils contracted. In the human reflected in her pupils, the long hair abruptly danced. In the next moment, scales began to appear piece by piece, and an abnormally intense aura began to radiate from the other party's body.
The reverse scale on the woman's neck stood up instantly. She almost instinctively perceived a threat radiated by some higher-level creature.
Immediately, an even more intense anger appeared. Dragons are the highest-ranking race in the world. How could there be a creature making her feel... fear just relying on its scent?!
On Kaito Shirogane's body surface, the Qilin Armor appeared piece by piece, and accompanying it was the new bloodline characteristic, the new efficacy!
In an instant, Kaito Shirogane's actual strength, which was originally just approaching a hundred points, increased by nearly 50% in a flash.
Sizzle!
The pitch-black Conqueror's Haki entanglement spread instantly. In the next moment, unmatched tremendous force accompanied Kaito Shirogane's center of gravity shift, directly acting on Orpheus's dragon claw.
Boom!
The dragon claw was fiercely stomped into the ground. The grassland surface caved in instantly. In the next moment, an intense shockwave spread towards the surroundings from deep underground.
Rumble!
Amidst the violent shaking of the ground, Orpheus raised her head and roared. The scale armor on her foot had shattered, and dragon blood dripped. In the process of tilting her head back, her silver-white long hair wrapped around her body, and in an instant turned into silver-white scales wrapping around her head.
Those bright golden-yellow slit pupils were the only thing that remained unchanged. A huge dragon head appeared, and a massive force like toppling mountains and overturning seas emerged. When the dragon claw pulled out from deep underground, the corners of Kaito Shirogane's mouth parted, and he took a light step back.
Kaito Shirogane watched the silver-white giant dragon with a body length exceeding fifty meters reveal its true form before him, his expression becoming increasingly joyful.
He had already noticed that this giant dragon was highly likely not from the lineage of the [King of Bronze and Fire]. But appearing so eagerly at this time, it was highly likely that the Saint · Seraphina indeed possessed special aptitudes.
Even...
A thought flashed through Kaito Shirogane's mind, and the smile on his face became even more wanton.
An intense coercion appeared in the next moment. That was the natural biological rank suppression of Dragons as a higher species over lower creatures. But Kaito Shirogane was completely unaffected, merely letting his hands hang at his sides, looking up at this higher lineage in the evolution of flesh and blood creatures, his black long hair behind him gently swaying.
Roar!
Orpheus stretched her neck and neighed at the sky. Intense sonic waves directly caused the air to begin twisting. A sonic wave frequency band completely exceeding the limit humans can capture began causing destruction to the surroundings indiscriminately.
Kaito Shirogane stood in place motionless, watching the dark clouds tumbling in the sky. The weather phenomenon changed in an instant. The intense sense of oppression grew stronger and stronger accompanied by the cloud layer pressing downwards.
"Saber, take those two guys and retreat."
With Kaito Shirogane's current Mantra intensity, any movement within nearly a hundred kilometers would be captured by him. The closer the distance, the stronger the control. For creatures within these few hundred meters like this, even the brainwaves of floating thoughts would be perceived by him.
He could naturally know that the Paladin he bestowed the Ripple Qigong to was not dead yet. Accurately speaking, after that woman's blood entered his body, the Paladin whose vitality was about to be cut off had his injuries rapidly stabilized, and intense vitality continuously burst forth.
Not only that, the "Blood Ministration" pollution caused by the Blood Potions he poured down was also cleared.
That woman's blood possessed the effect of purification and healing. Kaito Shirogane had already regarded this ability similarly as his own property, therefore telling Artoria to take his property and retreat.
The combat power displayed by Secondary Generation Dragons in this world indeed exceeded the combat standards displayed by Dragons from other derivative worlds in the Space's intelligence.
This silver-white pure-blooded giant dragon before him, purely in terms of attribute points, probably had Strength and Constitution attributes already approaching two hundred, and Agility and Spirit attributes would also fluctuate within this range.
In other words, completely exceeding the limit of [Strong] tier Reincarnators. Even [Fierce] tier Reincarnators have an absolute probability of not possessing this.
Roar!
The black clouds pressed down to a height of almost less than a hundred meters. Intense airflows turned into a huge bounded field, completely enveloping Kaito Shirogane.
Orpheus flapped her dual wings. In the next moment, countless airflows instantly changed direction, colliding and crowding each other, erupting with intense whistling.
Kaito Shirogane took a step forward. In the next moment, the blazing white airflow in the air before him turned into a wind demon · Kamaitachi, directly smashing onto the Three Parts Returning to Origin force field on his body surface.
Bang!
The airflow shattered, subsequently drawing more Kamaitachis to appear.
A pure-blooded giant dragon's control over Kotodama is completely beyond what a Hybrid can imagine. In an instant, the air seemed to undergo a chain reaction.
Merely by Kaito Shirogane stepping forward and stirring up a little airflow, countless Kamaitachis erupted within the entire domain.
Bang bang bang bang!
Impacts, explosions, airflow cutting. Compound attacks instantly unfolded nearly ten thousand times. The Three Parts Returning to Origin force field on Kaito Shirogane's body surface was completely worn away.
As the twisted force field disappeared, countless attacks rushed straight at Kaito Shirogane's main body.
Orpheus, in the air, simultaneously opened her mouth to breathe. This time, no flames erupted. Instead, it was that intense infrasonic wave, sufficient to kill any body of flesh and blood, directly covering the entire domain.
Wail!
Amidst the spatial distortion, nearly a thousand meters of space instantly resonated with an explosive roar, subsequently turning into a huge explosion.
Amidst the shattered bounded field, Kamaitachis danced wildly.
Pfft sizzle sizzle...
The grassland within thousands of meters in radius was completely slashed to pieces.
Orpheus's golden pupils trembled slightly. Not perceiving the aura of any living person, she was about to relax, but suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her.
As a giant dragon controlling the atmosphere, she actually didn't perceive this wisp of wind?!
In the next moment, a fist appeared from the wind. The atmosphere instantly twisted, and then a large amount of blazing white debris appeared as if boiling.
Orpheus instantly twisted her dragon body. Her tail whipped from bottom to top in a vicious strike.
Bang!
A huge black shadow crashed down from the air.
Another figure fell even more rapidly, standing on top of the giant dragon's head. Orpheus's pupils turned, seeing that human's face full of joyful smiles. That smile was already twisted and deteriorated.
She opened her mouth again, about to activate a Kotodama, but in the next moment, a peculiar soul power spread out.
Orpheus found that the power in her bloodline seemed to be imprisoned, no longer able to be driven.
Kaito Shirogane grabbed the giant dragon's head with one hand, wagging his finger.
"It's rare that we both possess physical bodies of this level. Let's have a good hand-to-hand combat~"
He rarely utilized this ability of Ruler of the World to restrict the other party. It was just that at this moment, he very much enjoyed having a flesh-to-flesh slaughter with a giant dragon.
He raised his right hand. The instant he clenched it into a fist, an air pop spread like a ripple.
"Giant Dragon, don't die too quickly..."
Bang!
