The legendary experts from Black Dragon City, including Mafat and Cavo, along with ten legendary armors, are equivalent to twenty or thirty "legendary combatants".

Even so, the battle against that evil dragon was still fraught with danger.

The Black Dragon's breath inflicts both dark corrosion and high-temperature burning damage. Once you are infected, the black fire will continue to burn like a leech until the target is burned to ashes.

Transcendent below the Third Tier are almost instantly reduced to ashes; those at the Fourth Tier can barely survive; only those at the fifth rank are qualified to face them head-on.

Even conventional combat mechs would turn into molten iron when hit by this Dragon Breath.

Therefore, the "Dragon Spear" equipped by the ten legendary mechs of the Mechanical Team were all top-tier enchanted steel cables. Even so, they were still frequently corroded and then snapped under immense force.

If it weren't for thorough preparation, the presence of a skilled fighter to restrain the dragon as it snapped, and the subsequent re-binding with a new cable, the black dragon would likely have already broken free and flown away.

After the Black Dragon City's experts withstood the Black Dragon's first wave of attacks, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to withstand the first wave of damage means that you are qualified to fight this "dragon hunt" head-on.

Several legendary experts withstood the most damage, while ordinary fifth-tier Transcendent also appeared, each unleashing their signature abilities to strike the evil dragon.

Signal flares were launched into the sky, and the Black Dragon City warriors on the outskirts began clearing the area to prevent any monsters or other humans from approaching the valley.

From the ground, Rein was intently watching the fierce battle in the sky.

If someone is shot and falls, he will immediately rush to provide support and treatment.

With him, a top-notch doctor, around, unless someone is instantly killed by the Black Dragon, almost no combat personnel are in mortal danger.

This was an unprecedented and earth-shattering battle.

If any outsiders were here, they would surely be shocked by this dragon-hunting battle.

On the Ice Ridge Wasteland, only Black Dragon City has the ability to mobilize so many top-tier Transcendent.

Only Black Dragon City has the right to covet this mythical dragon.

Thump, thump, thump

Within the canyon space, the shockwaves of the battle surged higher and higher.

The once lush and verdant forest was now a scene of utter devastation. The black dragon's breath had scorched the mountaintop into a wasteland, and the tsunami-like shockwaves had churned up layer upon layer of scorched earth.

The airflow in the valley was like a pressure cooker; the chaotic air pressure alone could kill a low-level Transcendent being instantly.

A legendary battle, terrifying indeed.

During a break in treatment, Rein gazed at the figures, his eyes gleaming with admiration, and murmured, "Everyone's so strong."

Although I had seen legendary masters like Mafat make their moves before, my Transcendent Advancement was too low back then, so I couldn't understand them at all.

They only know that they are powerful, but they don't know exactly how powerful they are.

It's like looking at the clouds in the sky from the ground; you see them in the sky, but you don't know how high they are actually.

Now that Rein has grasped a portion of the "Power of Laws," he finally understands what the Legendary Realm truly means.

It felt like climbing to the top of a mountain and seeing those white clouds all around you, drifting overhead and almost within reach.

Rein has already gained some understanding of the power of the laws of each system.

Rein was also very curious about who was the "number one fighter" in Black Dragon City.

Faced with this evil dragon, everyone went all out.

At a glance, one can immediately discern the difference in combat strength.

The masters in the sky would occasionally fall like meteors, creating a large crater on the ground.

Elder Habu, acting as the meat shield, fell the most times.

Then there's Bazel, who keeps getting kicked by the dragon's claws while trying to steal the dragon's whip.

Guy, this unparalleled swordsman, possesses the strongest killing intent, but defense is not his forte. Even if he were to take a direct hit from a dragon's claw, he would still cough up blood and be forced to retreat.

In the sky, the only two who were not blasted down by the dragon to receive treatment were Great Shaman Mafat and Canossa.

[Great Strength God Art] As expected of a divine sequence that enhances the physical body, the two Bronze Golden Body figures remained locked in a fierce battle.

Even the overwhelming Dragon Breath did not deter the two.

The Great Shaman Mafat can heal herself; even if she is burned, her injuries can heal instantly.

Canossa, however, was completely unaffected!

Of course, this does not mean that Canossa is the strongest fighter.

This also includes the factor of professional restraint.

At the very least, Canossa cannot defeat Master Cavo.

However, the mage Cavo was completely helpless against the black dragon.

Canossa's ferocious fighting power in the face of the dragon has refreshed everyone's understanding of her.

"Hiss, [Condense Qi into Gang] is indeed a bug-level skill."

Rein squinted at the layer of golden battle aura flowing across her body, which looked like tar, and muttered to himself.

Originally, the black dragon's breath was incorruptible; if it hit head-on, even the Bodyguard Battle Qi of a "legendary" expert could be corroded through in a short time.

However, Canossa's Bodyguard Battle Qi, which was several times more refined than that of other warriors of the same level, remained exceptionally resilient amidst the corrosive Dragon Breath.

Because of this condensed fighting spirit, her fists could easily break through the protective magic layer on the dragon's body.

From her delicate body erupted a violent power akin to a volcanic eruption.

She gives the impression of being an ancient black dragon that shouldn't exist in this era, possessing defensive and offensive capabilities that surpass this level.

It looks like a "Humanoid Dragon"!

The "Dragon Hunt" has reached its climax.

The evil dragon was completely outmatched by the relentless attacks of the Black Dragon City's experts.

It's like fighting a boss in a game; this dragon has an astonishing amount of health.

But as long as the tank can withstand the damage and the healer can keep the tank alive, the rest of the battle becomes a war of attrition, chipping away at the opponent's health.

The Dragon Spear of the Great Shaman Mafat had already pierced countless bloody holes in the black dragon's body; Guy's great black blade had also cut open numerous lacerations beneath the dragon's scales; Canossa's heavy punch had probably also caused considerable damage to its internal organs; Bazel's "backhand stab" had left its testicles feeling slightly cold.

And not far away, Master Cavo was constantly using disruptive spells, along with the legendary mechs that were mechanically restraining him.

Although the dragon there also had strong healing abilities, it couldn't withstand the attacks of so many people.

Moreover, everyone also discovered that after the dragon scales were broken, even if they appeared to be healed, the defensive power of the healed dragon scales was much weaker.

The people of Black Dragon City were well-prepared, bringing ample supplies. They fought and resupplyed continuously.

The evil dragon, however, fought alone, and with each passing minute, its strength waned.

Then, after several hours of fierce fighting, the dragon finally went berserk.

However, this was expected.

The Kolman people have ample experience dealing with magical beasts. Through their years of hunting various wyverns, they have learned almost everything about the dragons' habits.

Although berserk mode can significantly boost a dragon's combat power.

However, this also means that the battle is about to come to an end.

Just as the dragon went berserk, the experts of Black Dragon City seemed to have anticipated this, and instead of confronting it head-on, they moved around to contain it.

After all, the berserk state has a time limit.

They only need to hold out until the dragon's rage ends, and they will achieve a great victory.

In the end, the battle ended without serious consequences.

Although the dragon severely injured several of Black Dragon City's top fighters during its rampage, no one was injured thanks to the presence of Rein, the "super healer."

The only real loss was probably the destruction of two legendary mechs that had been used as meat shields to hold off the dragon's escape.

Not long after,

With a loud "boom".

The enormous, arrogant creature that had been so domineering in the sky just hours before crashed to the ground.

Before the evil dragon could struggle to take flight again, the ground troops had already bound it with countless steel cables and "Dragon Sinew Net" covering the sky.

This was also a well-prepared battle plan; the Black Dragon City group had prepared a large number of highly resilient nets.

Even with its incredible strength, the evil dragon couldn't do anything to the "Dragon Sinew Net," which was as elastic as a rubber band.

In just a moment, the dragon was trapped by dozens of large nets and could not move.

At this point, weakened by the aftermath of its rampage, the dragon's Dragon Breath was far less powerful than before. The destroyed net was far less extensive than the newly formed one.

"Hahaha, we got it!"

"We've finally subdued that evil dragon!"

"."

As the dragon crashed to the ground, the valley echoed with the excited laughter of the people of Black Dragon City.

The magical light screen dissipated, and the main force attacked.

The dragon's defeat is inevitable.

With the evil dragon subdued, the bronze-gold paint on the body of the Great Shaman Mafat gradually faded, and his face showed signs of exhaustion.

Habu, Bazel, Guy were all panting heavily, clearly not having an easy time either.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that almost everyone had wounds of varying sizes on their bodies.

However, the dragon was still struggling, clinging to its last breath.

Rein walked over and finally got a close look at the black dragon for the first time.

Even though its scales were riddled with bloody holes, it still retained the imposing aura of a superior race. Its head was firmly bound to the ground by dozens of steel cables, unable to move. Yet, the arrogance and ferocity in the dragon's eyes were still visible.

Despite facing the swarm of "ants" that had defeated it, the dragon showed no fear of death and its gaze remained sharp.

It was a pride that came from one's bloodline.

As soon as Rein got closer, the dragon suddenly spewed out a stream of black gas, instantly burning his skin with a searing pain.

"Grass."

Rein cursed inwardly, thinking that even a low-level Transcendent would be half-dead from that breath.

Bazel, watching the still-raging dragon, spat and said, "Damn it, this dragon's really tough. If they fight for another half an hour, I wonder who'll give in first."

Guy sheathed his greatsword and looked at the black dragon, saying, "I can sense the incredible life force within this evil dragon. It's recovering now, and if we don't kill it soon, it might regain its fighting strength in no time."

"Um."

Rein frowned as he listened, but nodded nonetheless.

At that moment, the legendary mech that had freed up its hands also walked over with a clattering sound.

Ordinary weapons are no match for the dragon's scales, but the "Arc Vibration Black Blade" is perfect for dealing with stationary objects like this.

Three legendary mechs, each wielding a seven- or eight-meter-long sword, stabbed towards the black dragon's neck and lower abdomen.

The blade vibrated at a variable frequency, and after a while, it finally found a suitable vibration frequency, and then the black blade slowly pierced in.

Streams of blood spurted out.

The dragon was like the livestock that Rein had been forced to the slaughterhouse in his previous life, struggling but unable to break free.

It could only watch helplessly as its blood flowed away and its life gradually slipped away.

Not long after, in this nameless valley that had been blasted into a basin.

Dragon's blood stained the earth, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Even in such a weakened state, Kolman Warrior's powerful Fifth-tier Magical Beast mounts still dared not approach, and would still tremble uncontrollably at the smell of blood.

Hundreds of people in Black Dragon City watched as Black Dragon was bled dry.

No one could kill the black dragon with a single blow. The mechanics were like slowly slicing it apart, stabbing it repeatedly to gradually deplete its "health."

The warriors cleaning up the battlefield had already entered, carrying large and small glass containers to collect the scalding dragon blood and gathering fallen scales from all around.

The dragon is a treasure trove, and these items are all top-grade Transcendent materials.

It was half an hour later when Rein finished treating the injuries on Bazel and the others.

At this moment, he looked at Wudo, who was walking towards him dejectedly, and asked, "Wudo, is it still impossible to tame her?"

Wudo shook her head.

"."

Rein frowned as he listened, feeling a little disappointed.

They originally thought that if they could tame such a powerful dragon that could fight against more than twenty legendary and Transcendent, it would be a great help to their Black Dragon City.

But it seems that taming dragons is not so easy.

At this moment, it seemed that the dragon "understood" everyone's conversation, and it suddenly roared again.

Hearing the dragon's roar, Wudo looked helpless and said, "It said that a noble dragon would never submit to an ant."

Rein didn't say anything more, saying, "Then let's kill it. It just so happens that my teacher's 'Dragon Blood Warrior Project' has reached a crucial breakthrough. With the corpse of such an ancient dragon, it's perfect for his research."

Not far away, Master Cavo also dipped his brush in dragon blood and drew a scroll, saying, "Dragon blood is a top-grade 'medium.' I think we don't need to kill it. Keeping it like this and bleeding it out every day isn't bad either."

Habu looked at the dragon as if it were a pile of roast meat and suggested, "Since this guy can't be tamed anyway, why don't we cut off a dragon leg and roast it? Tsk tsk, I've never eaten dragon meat before."

Upon hearing this, Bazel licked his lips and immediately chimed in, "I think it's a good idea. It won't die even if we cut off a leg, so let's give it a try."

Suddenly, something occurred to him. Staring at the dragon's crotch, his eyes gleamed. "You guys think soaking dragon penis in wine would be even more effective?"

After these words, it became clear that the dragon's gaze towards Rein and his group was no longer normal.

The high-ranking officials of Black Dragon City then discussed how to handle this "spoils of war" in front of Black Dragon.

Of course, it's mostly intimidation.

Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to keep such a rare ancient dragon alive.

They never gave up on taming them.

The methods of animal taming include the concept of "intimidation and threats."

Black dragons are cunning and intelligent, and also easier to communicate with.

Once they realized that the dragon seemed to understand what they were saying, the high-ranking officials of Black Dragon City tacitly knew what to do.

Intimidate those who need intimidation, and scare those who need frightening.

At this moment, Rein, with a cold expression, said, "Wudo, try communicating with it again. If it hasn't changed its mind by the time we get out of the tomb, then do as everyone else suggested."

Wudo nodded. "Mm."

Hunting the black dragon was just one part of the plan.

Rein and his men's goal from beginning to end was always to reach the "Tomb of the Black Emperor".

After leaving a group of people to guard the Black Dragon in the canyon, Rein led a group of high-level warriors, including Mafat and Cavo, directly to the Black Dragon's lair.

The Tomb Entrance marked in the temple murals.

The process went very smoothly. The investigators have already determined that the black dragon's lair is the Tomb Entrance!

Legend has it that dragons love to collect glittering treasures.

When Rein and his group arrived at the lair, which was the size of a football field, on the edge of the cliff, they were dazzled by the pile of treasure.

Of course, the treasures that the black dragon had collected over tens of thousands of years were only one of its gains.

Rein and his companions found a message written in Ancient Demon Language on the stone wall of the tomb.

If you have defeated that black dragon, congratulations, you are qualified to enter the tomb of the great Lord Moises.

When everyone saw this text, they realized that the black dragon's presence here was no coincidence. It was a "tomb guardian beast" deliberately left here by the Ancient Monkell Script to protect the tomb's entrance!
