Lord: Stripped of My Inheritance from the Start-Chapter 220 - 219: Dragon

Are there legends of dragons in this world?

The answer is yes.

Anyone who studied at the Wushan Extraordinary Academy had basically heard of them. It was said that Giant Dragons were the most powerful and magical creatures in the world.

They possessed long lifespans, living for a thousand years with ease.

Their innate talents were formidable. Upon reaching adulthood, they were said to be at least Ninth Level Magical Beasts, with a rare few even capable of surpassing the Ninth Level!

They could soar high above the nine heavens and plunge into the deepest abyss; they could breathe world-destroying flames and spit bone-chilling ice.

Of course, these were all just legends, confined to the pages of books or the plots of chivalric novels.

In the real world, almost no one had ever seen a Giant Dragon with their own eyes.

But today, Ronin and his group would have a glorious tale to boast of—they had seen a Giant Dragon.

Assuming, of course, they made it back alive.

"Tremble, you ignorant intruders!"

Natalia shrieked madly. With a single leap, she landed steadily on the Giant Dragon’s back. "Fly, Carlos! Fight, Carlos! Devour everything here with your scorching flames!"

WHOOSH!

The Giant Dragon spread its wings, and a single flap stirred up a violent gale, pressing the rising flames on the ground flat.

It leaped into the air. Everyone’s vision suddenly darkened, as if a colossal black curtain had been drawn over them.

The people looked up. The Giant Dragon’s wings were spread wide, spanning more than ten meters!

It circled overhead, as nimble as a dark cloud, yet as massive as a moving mountain range.

Its ice-blue Scale Armor refracted the afternoon sun, emitting a chilling aura that was both stunning and terrifying.

The Giant Dragon Carlos slowly lowered its head, and flames ignited within its ice-blue pupils.

WHOOSH!

A torrent of Flame Breath descended like a flood bursting through a dam, threatening to incinerate every tiny human on the ground.

’Is this it? Am I going to die?’

The Knights and Mages were instantly overcome with despair.

In the face of such a behemoth, they felt a primal suppression in their very blood, making them feel small and powerless, completely robbing them of the will to resist.

"Summon your courage! The battle is not yet lost!"

A dazzling radiance emanated from Elron. He pushed his Spiritual Power and Magic Power output to the maximum, enveloping all the Transcendents with his Vitality Skill.

A wave of warmth, like a sudden inspiration, dispelled their pessimism and despair, granting them a moment of clarity.

Macken leaped forward to protect the group, slamming both palms on the ground.

The earth instantly trembled. Rock and soil grew as if alive, forming a dome that shielded everyone above.

Ridder unleashed his Instantaneous Burning Combat Skill, fighting fire with fire to hold back the dragon’s flames in midair.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Breath was a fraction more powerful. It poured down, completely devouring his Fighting Qi before continuing its descent with what remained of its force.

"Wind Roar!"

Ronin cast his Magic, sweeping most of the remaining Dragon Breath into the air, where it dissipated.

Only a small amount of the Dragon Breath landed on Macken’s Earth Prison Barrier, causing no significant damage.

The three of them, working together, had managed to carve out a safe zone amidst the Dragon Breath.

But looking around, the rest of the area had already become a sea of fire.

Even with Jenny using her Water Gathering Skill, she could only manage to clear a narrow path.

This battle was no longer something that low, middle, or even Advanced Level Transcendents like them could participate in.

"Krami, Horn, get them into the cave!"

Ronin shouted.

The cave might hold traps, but at least they wouldn’t be blasted by Dragon Breath.

"Elron, use Light Binding Skill! Macken, Ridder, Joffrey, use the Wind’s Touch Scrolls! Aim for its right wing!"

"Yes, sir!"

Jenny cleared a small path while Krami and Horn used their Fighting Qi to push back the flames, leading the others toward the cave.

The four who Ronin had called to stay behind took action. One cast Magic, while the other three took out their pre-assigned Wind Touching Spell Scrolls and activated them.

With all four Binding Magic spells cast, could they briefly restrain this behemoth?

Ronin wasn’t sure, but he had already taken out his only, and currently his strongest, offensive tool—

A Sixth-level Fire Attribute Magic Fire Dragon Devouring Heaven Spell Scroll!

Atop the Giant Dragon’s back, Natalia watched the five struggling humans and couldn’t help but reveal a mocking smile. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Mortals daring to contend with a Legendary Creature. How utterly conceited!"

She blew the Horn, and the Giant Dragon beneath her let out a low growl.

"Carlos, continue to burn everything with your flames!"

The Giant Dragon once again opened its massive maw, gathering scorching Dragon Breath.

But at that very moment, four Light-Touching Hands wrapped around its right wing.

However, it paid no mind to this level of Binding Power. It felt it could shatter them with just a light flap of its wings.

But then, a dozen or so Wind Ribbons shot out from the void and coiled around its wing.

If the Light Binding Skill alone was worthy of its scorn, being bound by four Binding Magic spells at once caused a momentary imbalance in its wings, making its enormous body stumble slightly.

’It’s working!’

Ronin’s eyes lit up. He immediately channeled his Spiritual Power and Magic Power into the Magic Scroll. Instantly, a Fire Dragon roared into existence and surged toward the Giant Dragon in the sky.

Carlos sensed the danger, a trace of fear flashing in its eyes. The Flame Breath it had gathered in its mouth gushed downward.

BOOM—

The two forces of energy collided in midair like a pair of missiles. The resulting explosion was so immense that the very earth trembled and everyone’s ears rang.

Ronin hadn’t expected the power of Fire Dragon Devouring Heaven to actually surpass the Giant Dragon’s breath. It rolled back the Dragon Breath and surged upward, enveloping the Giant Dragon.

"No!"

Natalia, on the Giant Dragon’s back, had never imagined such a scene.

The searing flames relentlessly battered her body, subjecting her to endless agony.

Finally, her body seemed to have reached its limit. Countless cracks spread across her fair, smooth skin, and then, with a BANG, she exploded.

["King of Slaughter" achievement unlocked: Attribute Points +500, Energy Essence +1000]

Ronin didn’t even have time to read the details of the next achievement tier before he killed another Sixth-level Extraordinary Creature. In less than ten minutes, he had completed two achievement tasks.

The Giant Dragon in the sky was engulfed in flames. Despite its strong defenses, it still felt the searing pain.

However, a triumphant look flashed in its eyes.

Finally. It had finally freed itself from the person who had enslaved it.

"RAWR~"

Although it was in pain, its cry was filled with relief and exhilaration.

Carlos endured the pain and flapped its wings, preparing to leave.

"Elron, give me Aurora Shadow, now!"

"Ridder, Macken, work together and throw me at the Giant Dragon!"

As he spoke, Ronin cast a Light Body Skill on himself.

"Sir, Macken or I can handle this!"

"Yes, sir! It’s too dangerous to get on the Giant Dragon’s back!"

Ridder and Macken hesitated.

"I have to be the one to do this."

Ronin said in a low voice, "Let’s do it!"

Resigned, the two men bent down, each grabbing one of Ronin’s feet.

The moment Elron’s Aurora Shadow landed on Ronin, the two men let out a deep roar and hurled Ronin into the air like a stone.

The Giant Dragon wasn’t flying very high, only about thirty meters off the ground.

Under the effects of the Light Body Skill and Aurora Shadow, combined with the full-force throw from two Silver-level Knights, Ronin shot into the air like an arrow loosed from a bow. In just one or two seconds, he caught up to the slowly departing Giant Dragon.

The Giant Dragon whipped its head around, only to see a figure land on its back.

Carlos: "???"
