Chapter 1348: Red Dragon Shadow Hex – Twist

The word ‘kill’ could be heard shouted from all over the battlefield.

The war between the two great Empires in this city had entered a climax.

Above the clouds, two dragons were uttering blood-curdling roars during their blood-thirsty bout, rousing nothing but fright in everyone’s minds.

The Magic Scale Dragon’s scales were as tough as metal, so it used that to its advantage and brutally pushed the black dragon out of the battlefield using sheer force.

Turning a bit in mid-air, the black dragon regained his balance.

“You have to be careful, its attacks were clearly systematic” Crow loudly called out.

When Gu Qing Shan transformed into the black dragon, she had taken that chance to leap onto Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder and flew with him into the sky.

Gu Qing Shan replied: 「 I haven’t been a dragon for too long, so I’m not very used to hand-to-hand combat yet 」

Crow reminded: “You can try infusing your techniques into close combat, it should work the same way!”

「 Got it 」

Gu Qing Shan uttered a resounding dragon roar and charged into the battlefield again.

The two dragons once again clashed against one another, exchanging blow for blow.

After a few moments, the Magic Scale Dragon swung its tail onto the black dragon’s chest, sending him flying.

「 Idiot with nothing but strength 」the Magic Scale Dragon mocked.

The black dragon stopped its backward flight, then abruptly disappeared.

He suddenly reappeared above the Magic Scale Dragon, unleashing a blast of black and green dragon flame.

「 I’ve been waiting for this! 」

The Magic Scale Dragon lightly tiled its head up and unleashed a blast of pale yellow flames.

The two bursts of flames crashed against one another and scattered all around. From a distance, it looked like a sea of flames that would envelop heaven and earth.

However, the Magic Scale Dragon made a mistake.

The black dragon had the power of three dragons, so the flames he unleashed were significantly more powerful compared to regular dragons.

The Magic Scale Dragon was enveloped by the intense sea of flames.

「 Useless—– 」

The Magic Scale Dragon endured the blast in the middle of the flames, the scales on its entire body clattering in metallic noises.

It roared: 「 My body is clad in magic scales, I’m not afraid of elemental damage! 」

Saying so, it charged out of the flames towards the black dragon once again.

Bam!!

A resounding echo.

The two dragons caused an intense shockwave with their clash.

Taking its opportunity, the Magic Scale Dragon bit the black dragon’s neck and ripped out a large chunk of flesh.

「 Idiot, you’re full of openings—- 」

The Magic Scale Dragon spat the flesh out, mocking him.

The black dragon suddenly reached his claws out to restrain the other party’s head and shouted: 「 Hurry! 」

Hurry?

While the Magic Scale Dragon was still in doubt, it suddenly felt an intense wave of pain.

Inside its giant mouth, Crow had drawn her rapier and pointed it down the creature’s throat!

The opening just now was something Gu Qing Shan purposely created to allow Crow to enter the Magic Scale Dragon’s mouth, avoiding all of its magic scales.

No matter how tough its scales were, they couldn’t protect it from the inside of its mouth.

Air flowed intensely around Crow’s body like a brewing storm——–

“Been a while since I had to go all-out”

Crow declared, then raised her rapier and thrust forward with all her strength!

Boom!

An intense explosion resounded from inside the dragon’s mouth!

Many of the scales on the dragon’s head broke off from the explosion and fell together with the dragon’s blood.

The Magic Scale Dragon pushed the black dragon away, uttering a resounding howl that echoed across the sky.

Seizing that chance, Crow retreated to the black dragon.

“That felt good, what’s next?”

She loudly asked.

The black dragon replied: “It’s probably going to go berserk, so I’m going to use an infallible power to deal with it, just make sure to protect yourself”

Crow answered with a stern expression: “Got it”

At the very next second.

The Magic Scale Dragon uttered a furious roar:

「 You devious bastard, you think this is enough to get rid of me? I’m definitely going to kill you! 」

Immense killing intent could be felt from its body.

Layers upon layers of flames began to gather around its body.

Magical fluctuations could be felt clearly in the air.

The black dragon’s expression became cautious as he silently took distance and readied himself in mid-air, preparing to face the oncoming assault.

The Magic Scale Dragon stared straight at him, then began shouting:

「 You’re a strange dragon, what exactly are you? Not only do you spit flames with black, red, and green colors, but you also found a human to help you in combat, I can’t even say I scorn you, because I hold you in nothing less than absolute comtem—— 」

The black dragon’s expression instantly changed.

A mass of white fog several hundred meters in length suddenly appeared to envelop the black dragon and disappeared.

The Magic Scale Dragon froze.

「 Strange… why did he suddenly run when I’ve just begun? 」the Magic Scale Dragon muttered.

…

Several hundred miles away.

Ramon village.

A sudden wave of white fog descended from above.

The black dragon had turned back into Gu Qing Shan as both he and Crow walked out from the fog.

“Why did we suddenly run?” Crow asked in confusion.

“I was unleashing an infallible power, but I didn’t think it would also unleash its Draconics magic” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Glancing at the War God UI, he saw a line of blinking glowing text:

[Combat warning: you’ve been affected by Draconics magic]

[Red Dragon Shadow Hex – Twist]

[Twist: With every 30 syllables you speak while using the Hex, your target’s senses would decrease by one stage]

[Your senses have been decreased by one stage]

[Combat note: you have a total of 21 stages of senses. It was fortunate that you ran away quickly, otherwise all your senses would have been stripped, leaving you as a sandbag to be beaten up]

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, then couldn’t help but want to curse.

These dragons, every last one of them——

Scoundrels!

It’s fortunate that I was prepared for it.

“Strange, my ability to sense my surroundings seemed to have been obscured by something” Crow commented.

“I as well” the duck plushie called out from inside her bag.

Gu Qing Shan then explained the Draconics magic.

Crow was naturally shocked, unable to help herself cursing: “What a bunch of scoundrels, I’ve always heard that dragons are a shady bunch, but I didn’t think that their magic would also be this way”

The duck plushie poked his head out from Crow’s pocket, asking: “I’ve always heard that Draconics magic cannot be defended against, and sure enough it is—— what do we do now, clean up and return?”

“No”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head.

He took out his black bow and slowly knocked an arrow onto it.

“That strike of yours was very opportune, breaking several of the scales on its head—-” Gu Qing Shan commented.

Crow asked in disbelief: “There’s at least a distance of 80-90 thousand miles from Weitz city to this place, you’re saying you want to use your arrows to hit the wounds on its head?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Hm, after all, I’ve already sensed the presence of its blood——-”

A line of glowing text appeared on the void of space:

[Divine Skill: Snowdrift activated; every arrow you shoot will require 800,000 Soul Points]

Gu Qing Shan still had over 200 million Soul Points, so he didn’t care about that expenditure, instantly infusing his bow and arrow with Soul Points.

A profound fluctuation radiated from his body.

The bowstring was slowly pulled back until it was at full draw.

A short pause.

Suddenly, the bowstring snapped back into a series of overlapping images, causing a resounding sonic boom.

The arrow disappeared.

…

On the other side.

The Magic Scale Dragon circled a bit in the sky, then looked below.

That guy had run away, then next——

Suddenly, it sensed danger.

Boom!

A deep black hole abruptly manifested in the void of space with an explosion, countless tiny cracks scattered like spider nets into the surrounding.

A deep gash was split open in the Magic Scale Dragon’s head, causing its blood to spill.

It roared, wanting to look for the enemy.

At the very next moment, the second black hole manifested in the void of space——

The second arrow!

It was too fast to avoid!

Struck by the arrow, the Magic Scale Dragon spun in mid-air, half of its skull had been exposed to open air.

It quickly grasped the situation and tried to escape.

Right at this moment, a sharp unbearable pain spread all over its body, causing the Magic Scale Dragon to tremble.

Damn it, what kind of technique is this?

When did I get inflicted with such a painful technique?

It couldn’t think of an answer, nor did it have time to.

The void of space broke open again.

The arrow appeared right in the middle of the dragon’s head.

Boom!!!

Blood exploded like a flower in the air.

Then fell to the ground like a rain shower.

Being struck by three consecutive [Snowdrift], the Magic Scale Dragon lost consciousness.

Right at this moment, white fog appeared in the sky.

Gu Qing Shan and Crow reappeared.

Watching the dying Magic Scale Dragon, Crow clicked her tongue: “This is [Snowdrift]?”

Aside from the wounds on its head, the Magic Scale Dragon seemed to be afflicted by something else, as its entire body was constantly trembling like it was in intense pain.

“That’s right, this is [Snowdrift], but not only [Snowdrift]”

Gu Qing Shan put the black bow away, turning back into his black dragon form.

Roar!!!

The black dragon’s gigantic body once again obscured the sky itself.

He swiftly moved forward, bit down on the Magic Scale Dragon’s head, and tore at it.

Suddenly, the black dragon lifted his head up——-

He was holding the Magic Scale Dragon’s severed head in his mouth.

The headless dragon body fell down, crashing on the ground.

This successfully influenced the battlefield below.

The soldiers of the Frost empire began to scatter and flee.
