Undead Mage from a Cell
Chapter 817 - 815: Dragon Slaying Skill
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck the flying two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon.
This lightning was the effect of the Death Incarnation-Titan’s full-power strike.
With this strike, the lightning forced the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon back a certain distance, and its body noticeably shrank.
At this moment, Gu Xi took a step forward, and the Netherworld Dragon Robe Carrier appeared beside him.
Using the vision of the Netherworld Dragon Robe, Gu Xi noticed a situation: there was something connecting to the twin-headed Shadow Giant Dragon.
A black line invisible to normal people extended from the void, connecting to this two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon.
Although the lightning cut off the line, it was poised to reconnect.
Gu Xi could even clearly see the line trying to reconnect to the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon.
It seemed that this two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon was the core of Yalidu City.
Only it was unclear why it emerged prematurely.
While pondering, Gu Xi commanded the Death Incarnation-Bone Dragon to attack.
Once commanded, the Death Incarnation-Bone Dragon immediately lunged at the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon, biting one of its necks.
Then, the Ghost Dragon also pounced from the other side, biting the other neck.
The two Undead Dragons tugged at the necks of the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon, pulling them apart.
Meanwhile, the Ghost Dragons flying in took advantage of this opportunity to constantly tear at the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon.
With each bite, they tore away masses of black deceitful shadow.
However, Gu Xi clearly knew the current situation wasn’t right.
Without a way to deal with the black line, the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon could regain the upper hand, potentially breaking through the Level 20 threshold.
This thing felt like it forcibly elevated the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon’s level.
Though unsure of the source, it’s likely from the Great Monarch or one of his subordinates.
Gu Xi didn’t want any conflicts with the Great Monarch right now, so severing this connection was crucial.
Contemplating his arsenal, Gu Xi finally pointed the Illusion Magic Wand at the sky.
Death Luck!
Take a gamble!
Gu Xi had only one thought in mind: to instantly kill the enemy before him.
Yet Gu Xi had few skills for instant kills; either he recalled the Death Incarnation and summoned Death Incarnation - Death God, betting on Death Reaping.
Or he used Death Luck.
This skill affects a range, with possibilities of one Undying, one out of ten, five out of one, half dead, all dead.
Meaning, to instantly kill an enemy in a range, there’s roughly a one-in-five chance.
If targeting a single enemy, it becomes a blood draw.
Half blood and instant demise occupy two-fifths of the possibilities.
Gu Xi was betting on this two-fifth chance.
As Gu Xi pointed, a grayish rainbow light flew from his hand, landing on the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon.
Then a massive roulette wheel appeared in the sky, divided into five sections labeled ’one Undying, one out of ten, five out of one, half dead, all dead.’
The twin-headed Shadow Giant Dragon’s spectral image appeared on the wheel, spinning incessantly.
This was Gu Xi’s first use of the Death Luck skill.
Seeing the spinning wheel, Gu Xi understood it was a gamble on luck.
As the wheel slowly stopped, Gu Xi saw the black line attempting to reconnect to the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon severed at the scene.
Then, the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon immediately lost all life, plummeting from the sky.
The Death Incarnation-Bone Dragon and Ghost Dragon clenched the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon’s body, preventing it from hitting the ground.
A ding sounded in Gu Xi’s ears.
[You killed the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon (Level 19), gaining 13,317 experience points, with each subordinate in the battle receiving 1,619 experience points.]
[Your actions killing the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon drew the attention of some powerful entity, but it did not attack you.]
The first kill message was good news for Gu Xi, indicating further progress in upgrading his experience.
But the follow-up message made Gu Xi hesitate, confirming his suspicions of a stronger presence behind the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon.
Though uncertain of their level or origin, whether they could defeat Gu Xi’s Hellhounds was unknown.
While pondering, Gu Xi glanced to his side.
Beside the Holy Silver Evil Coffin, alongside massive soldiers like the White Bone Skeleton and Bone Armor Centipede, lay a group of Hellhounds ranging from Level 15 to 25.
They numbered over a hundred, gathered together, with nearly half of the Level 20+ Hellhounds’ aura combined, boosting the battle power of those not yet Level 20.
These Hellhounds crouched beside Gu Xi’s Holy Silver Evil Coffin, poised to attack at any disturbance.
Gu Xi believed that even if the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon rose above Level 20, he had ways to handle it.
Although it would prove challenging, victory belonged to Gu Xi.
Watching the Death Incarnation-Bone Dragon and Ghost Dragon dragging over the two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon, Gu Xi abandoned thoughts of the mastermind behind it.
At once, a thick-skinned book flew before him.
This gray book with a slit pupil eye on its cover shone with an eerie light outside.
This was the Ghost Dragon Book, which Gu Xi had just acquired.
Such books were rare among Undead Mages.
Bone Dragons were key to the Level 10 task for most Undead Mages, often fought over.
Under such circumstances, the appearance of the Ghost Dragon Book would be quickly snatched away.
If not for Gu Xi’s great achievements, he might never have acquired this Ghost Dragon Book.
Its usage conditions were stringent, requiring numerous corpses and either Dragon Blood or a Dragon Type soul.
Ideally, there would be a Dragon Type corpse.
Or, at least, something connected to Dragon Types.
This massive twin-headed Shadow Giant Dragon before him was naturally fit for Summoning Bone Dragon.
Even if Gu Xi considered taking the corpse back for Undead Transformation, it was impossible.
The Ghost Dragon Book itself had flown out.
