Chapter 312 - 220: Annihilation!

Dasaide could no longer maintain his composure because Long Yi’s words directly hit his weak spot! Here, he couldn’t obtain Dragon Power from his contract dragon! And in fact, the Power of Rules in the vicinity was continuously absorbing his Fighting Aura!

Contrary to common belief, the amount of Fighting Aura a Dragon Knight has does not increase with their rank. The majority of Dragon Knights have a very limited quantity of Fighting Aura their body can store. Even a powerful Dragon Knight like Dasaide, who has nine Dragon Marks, only means that he can unleash more powerful Fighting Aura attacks; it does not mean he has more of it.

Typically, Dragon Knights are always together with their contract dragons and can draw upon an infinite supply of Fighting Aura. Who cares about how much Fighting Aura they have then?

But now, Dasaide was genuinely concerned. The Fighting Aura left in his body was less than half, and this was the result of not fighting much. If he couldn’t replenish his Fighting Aura, he, the most powerful Guardian Dragon Knight of the Black Dragon Empire, would probably die here at someone else’s mercy!

He was regretting his hasty decision to barge in here. If he’d been a little slower, he would have run into Long Yi’s team, and held them captive, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone!

But, what’s done is done, regret is useless.

Dasaide knew very well that he couldn’t stay here long! He needed a way to get out of this Array. Once he was free of the Array’s constraint, he would have nothing to worry about!

Dasaide suddenly turned around and threw a powerful punch at the wall. With a loud bang, a massive arc of electricity erupted between his fist and the wall. In spite of his strength bestowed by the nine Dragon Marks, he was sent flying backwards by the arc of electricity! Meanwhile, in the center of the room, the trapped Black Dragon let out a mournful cry, as if the punch had landed on itself!

Damn it, the old man is trying to escape!

Dasaide was extremely taken aback, because that punch just now was done with his full strength. Even if the room’s walls were made of solid steel, he should have been able to punch through it! But just as his fist was about to hit the wall, a huge electric arc exploded from the wall, completely disintegrating all his Fighting Aura! His unprotected fist had directly hit the cold wall, and now his entire fist was bloody.

What nonsense!

Dasaide was getting even more anxious. He never expected that, with his immense strength, he would actually stumble here!

Long Yi was initially nervous that the old man might escape. But it turned out that this room was much more powerful than he thought.

At this time, Long Yi was also interpreting the room in his own way. Even though he was unfamiliar at first, the longer he stood in here, the more he understood the room. It was an extremely profound phenomenon. Whenever Long Yi looked at any part of the room, the knowledge about that part would immediately surface deep from his mind.

As a matter of fact, Long Yi had already unlocked the knowledge about this place. But in order to protect his mind from being overwhelmed by the sudden flow of knowledge, the inherited knowledge naturally had its own protective mechanism. That is — the knowledge only emerged when needed.

Now, Long Yi finally understood what exactly was going on with this room.

This was a standard energy hub of the Giant race. Originally, an incredibly powerful energy source should have been at the center of the room. Later, that energy source disappeared, and a golden Giant Sword replaced the energy source here. The energy hub drew energy from the Giant Sword to supply the entire library. And when the golden Giant Sword was taken away, the emperor brought Jack Black here. Clearly, Jack Black wanted to escape. However, this energy hub, formed by the Power of Rules, immediately captured this new energy source when Jack Black’s Black Dragon transformed into an adult dragon. So, both the Black Dragon and Jack Black were now trapped half-dead in mid-air.

A Black Dragon could provide strong energy, but to this energy hub, the Black Dragon was incredibly weak. So it was still drawing energy from the surrounding air, which included things like disseminated Fighting Aura.

Just now, when Dasaide tried to attack the wall, the hub immediately retaliated. It directly used the power of Jack Black’s contract dragon to eradicate Dasaide’s Fighting Aura!

Since Little Zi was a pure energy body, it would immediately be captured by the hub as soon as it appeared, so it didn’t dare to leave Long Yi’s body by a single step.

Lucky!

Having fully understood the entire process, Long Yi felt extremely lucky. If it weren’t for being in this room, in the face of a Guardian Dragon Knight with nine Dragon Marks, even someone as proud as Long Yi would have only the option to flee.

Not to mention whether he could escape!

However!

Since you’ve walked into my trap, there’s no reason for me to let you go!

Dasaide’s attack ended in vain, and he muttered "not good" under his breath. Sure enough, almost at the same time, Long Yi charged forward. Despite missing one arm, the ferocity of his attack only increased!

Dasaide was barely avoiding each attack using his invisible ability, not daring to consume a single bit of his Fighting Aura while simultaneously looking for an opportunity. Although he didn’t have inherited knowledge like Long Yi, he understood that in this room, the lack of Fighting Aura would be his greatest obstacle. If he ran out of Fighting Aura, then Long Yi could easily kill him with his terrifying brute force! The thought of dying in such a humiliating way despite being a Guardian Dragon Knight of the Black Dragon Empire made Dasaide’s skin crawl!

Where the hell is the weakness! There has to be a weakness here!

Dasaide desperately examined his surroundings over and over again, and then a weak dragon roar awakened him! His gaze then became fixed at the center of the room.

The roar came from Jack Black’s contract dragon!

The roar conveyed only one thing!

"Kill me!"

Yes! Originally, Dasaide thought this place was just a trap confining the Dragon Clan, so he didn’t think too much. However, now he had realized the entire room’s energy was sourced from that Black Dragon!

Once the Black Dragon was killed, naturally the room’s protective energy would disappear!

Dasaide understood the Black Dragon’s meaning, and naturally, so did Long Yi!

Damn it, this bastard!

Long Yi cursed in his mind and promptly moved in front of the Black Dragon.

"Old man, you can forget it. I’ve got this Black Dragon under my protection."

Dasaide let out a cold chuckle, disappearing within an instant, as did Long Yi. In the invisible world, they collided several times. When each reappeared, Long Yi held, in his hand, an arm full of injuries, while Dasaide was already standing by the Black Dragon’s side.

"Damn old man, you’re really ruthless!" In their fight, Long Yi had grabbed Dasaide’s hand. Under his double-talent power, the hand couldn’t emit fighting aura at all. However, Dasaide chopped off his own arm with the other hand, at this price, he blasted Long Yi to one side while he himself reached the Black Dragon’s side.

"Prince Jack Blake, and the great Black Dragon Cage, your heroics will go down in history!"

"No!" exclaimed Long Yi, his face contorted in horror, as Dasaide delivered a lethal fighting aura blast straight into the Black Dragon’s head.

Almost simultaneously, the arcs of electricity flowing around them vanished.

There’s still a chance! Dasaide still wouldn’t dare to transform his Black Dragon into an adult dragon!

"Die!"

Long Yi roared as he lunged at Dasaide. However, Dasaide had disappeared. When he reappeared, his chest bore a massive dent from a punch by Long Yi, but his own fist had landed on the wall.

Cra-crack... Boom!

The pure metal wall, instantly shattered, all the power of rules disappeared!

"Yes! This is the chance!"

Dasaide grinned as the little black dragon, constantly pestered by Xiaoyou, flew out of the breach. Transformed into a gigantic adult black dragon in the blink of an eye, its overwhelming Dragon Might showered down from the sky!

Gathering the last of his strength, Dasaide took a high leap out of the gap. His Black Dragon was only a hands’ reach away! If he could let even a fingertip touch the Black Dragon, the endless fighting aura would razed everything here!

Suddenly!

Intense pain surged throughout Dasaide’s body making his vision blur. Looking down, he found a giant fist had pierced through his chest, holding his heart within its grasp.

Then Long Yi’s voice sounded,

"Old man, you’ve finally been fooled."

Incredulous, Dasaide realized he hadn’t jumped out of the gap? And he stared blankly at the gap without any movement?

A weakened Little Zi slowly appeared, "Indeed, even the nine Dragon Marks struggle against the desire for survival in the face of psychic magic. Even such a fake illusion would ensnare you. Dasaide, just how afraid are you of dying?"

Instead of responding, Dasaide gave her a glance and smirked as a light flashed in front of his eyes.

"Do you think you’ll make it out alive?"

"Many villains die from talking too much." Long Yi replied, "I’m not a villain, so you can die now!"

Boom!

Dasaide’s heart was crushed. He convulsed one last and slumped over.

However, at the very next moment, Long Yi found that an array constructed entirely from fresh blood had appeared beneath his feet. Within this array, Long Yi was utterly immobilized.

"Revenge Curse!"

This was a Curse that bestowed perpetuity. Using one’s own blood as a medium, it automatically immobilized the one has killed the caster for ten seconds.

Yes, just a mere ten seconds.

But a lot could happen in these ten seconds.

Facing the furiously roaring Black Dragon in the sky, Long Yi bitterly smiled: "Here comes the real trouble."

A Black Dragon, an adult Black Dragon, and one that was once a Dragon Knight with nine Dragon Marks. These traits combined usually meant one thing - death was imminent.

Facing a Black Dragon of this class, dying might be more comfortable than struggling.

Could Long Yi escape?

No, he couldn’t. There was no solution for the Revenge Curse.

"Run!"

Xiaoyou quickly ascended high into the sky and disappeared within a blink due to her agility. Long Yi grabbed Little Zi’s cold hand and threw her out of the way. In the very next moment, the billowing Dragon Breath completely engulfed the top of the library! (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on qidian.com (qidian.com).
