In the following days, Hei Chuan Chi Yin also diligently sought clues about Duanmu Huai, and just as Princess Noren said, the other party was not someone who would hide his whereabouts.

Soon, Hei Chuan Chi Yin heard rumors in a nearby village about a young female Dragon Hunter infamous for cruelly slaughtering a horde of dragons.

The individual had long silver hair, an angelic beauty, dressed in pitch-black armor, wielding a sharp blade. She slaughtered the dragon horde mercilessly, almost like a manifestation of Shinigami.

She was dubbed Shinigami because, when facing those terrifying dragons, the girl would display a fierce smile and use every method to cruelly torture the opponents. Even her fellow Dragon Hunters found it unbearable to witness.

Ah, it must be Xiao Ai.

Not only did Hei Chuan Chi Yin come to this conclusion, but Noren did as well.

They had seen Duanmu Huai’s demeanor in battle, it was the behavior of a complete villain, especially when facing enemies, Duanmu Huai would mercilessly torment them, even deriving pleasure and excitement from their suffering. Exactly like a murderer, akin to the serial killers Hei Chuan Chi Yin had seen in B-grade movies.

Incidentally, there were still people who used magic in this world, but they were referred to as magicians, however, Fureya insisted Hei Chuan Chi Yin refer to her as a Mage.

"These creatures with filthy blood flowing in their bodies are not glorious Mages, they’re nothing but monsters akin to the Dragon Race!"

Hei Chuan Chi Yin found this somewhat puzzling, but Princess Noren quickly clarified her doubts. In the era when they were still alive, magic was more of a gifted talent, for instance, Fureya was a Magic Brave Hero of that time, whereas her sister Noren lacked magical talent.

However, the current magicians were different, likely due to some issue with magic power in this world. Overall, those who used magic nowadays often had physical deformities since birth, something Fureya absolutely could not tolerate, thus she always looked down upon these physically deformed magic users, considering them akin to monsters.

Of course, if Duanmu Huai were here, it would be confirmed that these were merely deformed Psychics caused by simple subspace contamination—much like the Beastmen from the Novice’s Village. As a matter of fact, in this world, the stronger the magic user, the more their appearance resembled dragons.

For example, they might possess dragon-like eyes, wings, tails, teeth, and so on... no wonder Fureya found it displeasing.

Therefore, judging a magician’s strength by appearance had become common knowledge in this world, and Hei Chuan Chi Yin, looking like an ordinary human, went along with Fureya and Noren’s guidance, suppressing the magic’s power to a basic level. Disguising as a low-level magician, she positioned herself in the rear, sniping and eliminating those dragon hordes.

The method was simple, most lower-ranked dragons could be destroyed by sunlight, and for a Mage of Fureya’s level, there were more convenient methods available. The silver sword can destroy dragons as it disrupts their magic power flow, however, for those unfamiliar with magic, physical means are the only option.

But for Mages like Fureya, once hailed as "Magic Brave Hero", it’s a different story altogether.

Knowing that disrupting and severing magic flow could kill dragons, there’s no need to rely on sunlight and silver energy; magic can achieve the same outcome.

To put it simply, it’s about compressing magic power into a magic bullet, then firing it from afar. When the bullet hits the dragon body, it automatically explodes, releasing wave of compressed magic power, completely disrupting the dragon’s magic flow and killing it.

This move might not appear glamorous, but it’s practical and discreet. With a dragon’s enormous body size, the hit rate is high, allowing easy extermination through such ultra-long-range sniping.

Returning to the main point, upon learning that Duanmu Huai was currently in a nearby city, Hei Chuan Chi Yin promptly set out towards the direction of the city.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai was unaware that a touching reunion awaited him, for he had more crucial endeavors to attend to.

"Hahaha, cry out for me! Keep crying! Louder! Did you not have lunch?"

Duanmu Huai stood atop the trembling Dragon Body, laughing aloud, the blood-red sharp blade in his hand stabbed into the opponent’s chest, already carving an opening like a necklace. And the giant dragon, towering three stories high, was now hacked to pieces, only capable of emitting disjointed wails.

Incidentally, according to this world’s classification, this was considered a Cheng Long. In this world, the Dragon Race is divided into Lower Dragon, Middle Rank Dragon, Cheng Long, Upper Dragon, Dragon King, and lastly Dragon God.

Legend has it that Dragon God created the Dragon King, who then created Upper Dragon; Upper Dragon can create the subsequent Dragon Race.

However, aside from its dragon form, isn’t it just like the Vampire’s followers system?

For Dragon Hunters in this world, dealing with Lower Dragons is manageable, however, Middle Rank Dragons and Cheng Long prove more troublesome. Lower Dragons themselves aren’t too powerful, nor can they fly, yet the sheer numbers are nauseating. Middle Rank Dragons are equivalent to dragons in regular fantasy worlds; flying, fire-breathing, but that’s about it.
