Black Dragon Elphis

The locusts led the way, flying over a hundred kilometers before arriving at a small cave.

Han Wu looked at the entrance, only a meter high and half a meter wide, and sighed inwardly.

Only his locusts, with their great numbers, small size, and wide coverage, could have found it.

Otherwise, this cave entrance would have been easily overlooked.

He ordered the accompanying Locust Persons to widen the entrance, then walked inside.

After proceeding a hundred meters along the passage, the view suddenly opened up.

At the same time, Han Wu sensed an incomparably terrifying aura spreading outward from the depths.

"This aura is powerful, mixed with the scent of divine power. It's worth investigating." Han Wu muttered as he continued onward.

After traveling several more kilometers inward, the terrifying aura grew even denser.

The locusts that had come with Han Wu were cowed by that aura and instinctively dared not approach any farther.

Only the two Heroic Lifeform Locust Persons still had the courage to remain at Han Wu's side.

Han Wu told the followers that did not dare proceed to wait there, while he and the two Heroic Lifeform Locust Persons continued deeper inside.

After advancing another thousand meters, they finally reached the source of the terrifying aura.

It was an enormous stone cavern, as large as ten football fields, with a ceiling a hundred meters high.

At the center of the cavern lay a black dragon, curled up in place.

Thirteen pitch-black chains bound the Black Dragon layer upon layer.

They rendered the Black Dragon completely immobile.

The terrifying aura emanated from the Black Dragon, spreading several thousand meters through the cave. Even from that far away, it made the locusts tremble in fear, fully displaying the Black Dragon's strength.

Delight flashed across Han Wu's face. He had heard his teacher mention in class that some Outer Realm Civilizations often sealed away enemies they could not easily kill.

This Black Dragon before him was likely a pitiful creature sealed here by some powerful being.

Using the Eye of Detection, Han Wu examined the Black Dragon's information.

The result disappointed him somewhat.

The Eye of Detection had only uncovered part of the Black Dragon's information.

Yet even that partial information was enough to shock Han Wu.

The information panel had a black background, indicating that this Black Dragon was a Demonic Beast.

Name: Black Dragon Elphis

Level: 103 (Sealed state; original level 149.)

Class: Rebel (Special racial class)

Equipment: ???

Divinity: ???

Talent: Dragon Bloodline, ???...

Skills: Dark Breath, ???...

While Han Wu was examining the Black Dragon's information, the Black Dragon sensed that it was being probed.

It opened one eye. Its entirely black pupil seemed to possess a magic that could suck away souls.

The two Heroic Lifeform Locust Persons fell victim to it and began walking toward the Black Dragon's mouth. Fortunately, Han Wu stopped them in time, preventing the two from becoming the Black Dragon's food.

Seeing the food delivered to its doorstep being pulled away, the Black Dragon roared in fury, "You dare interrupt the great Rebel Black Dragon Elphis while I am feeding? I will corrode your soul and devour your flesh!"

As it spoke, the Black Dragon painstakingly opened its mouth, and dense Dark Energy gathered within.

This destructive strike was not something Han Wu could withstand at his current level. He decisively called the two Heroic Lifeform Locust Persons and flew outward to escape.

After the Black Dragon released its Dark Energy, Han Wu returned.

"Tiny piece of trash, you dare toy with the great Rebel Black Dragon Elphis? I will never forgive you!" With that, it launched another mass of Dark Energy.

Han Wu fled again, then returned after a while.

After two fruitless attacks, the Black Dragon no longer had the strength to release Dark Energy.

The pitch-black chains bound it tightly. The more it struggled, the more unyielding the seal became.

Only when Han Wu saw that the Black Dragon had stopped raging did he say, "I did not come here to provoke you. On the contrary, I came to help you."

The Black Dragon did not believe Han Wu's nonsense. It said coldly, "The great Rebel Black Dragon Elphis has already seen through your scheme. Leave this place while I am not angry yet, or I will devour you completely!"

Han Wu could not help but sneer. "Trapped here as you are, do you still have the ability to devour me completely?"

As he spoke, Han Wu summoned the Fairy Shortbow and fired an arrow at the Black Dragon.

The arrow struck the Black Dragon's scales and bounced away, failing to leave even a scratch.

The Black Dragon mocked him, "Lowly bug, the great Rebel Black Dragon Elphis possesses invincible defenses. You cannot harm me in the slightest."

Han Wu smiled and drew out the Divine Power Weapon he had seized earlier: the Steel Slasher Greatsword.

He raised the Steel Slasher Greatsword and smashed it down on the Black Dragon with all his strength.

This time, a faint scratch finally appeared on the Black Dragon's scales.

But to the Black Dragon's enormous body, such a scratch did not even count as a light injury.

Seeing this, Han Wu's expression turned serious.

Unless he inflicted some damage on the Black Dragon, it clearly would not speak to him properly.

Han Wu raised the Steel Slasher Greatsword again and poured ten thousand points of divine power into it.

The infusion of divine power made the Divine Power Weapon, the Steel Slasher Greatsword, blaze with golden divine light from end to end.

Ten thousand points of divine power had exceeded the limit it could bear.

It could maintain that state for only three seconds.

But those three seconds were enough for Han Wu to unleash a powerful strike.

Whirlwind Slash!

This was a technique Han Wu had learned from Iron Cutting Sword Wind while in the Divine Realm. Though it could not trigger the skill's damage bonus effect, it could still inflict considerable damage.

Sure enough, that slash cut through the Black Dragon's scales, which were as hard as refined steel. A huge wound opened up, black dragon blood continuously flowing from it.

The intense pain provoked the Black Dragon to resist.

But the lock of the thirteen pitch-black chains left it unable to move.

The Black Dragon could only rage helplessly and roar again and again, "Lowly crawling insect, you dare injure the great Rebel Black Dragon Elphis? I..."

Before it could finish, Han Wu tossed aside the shattered Divine Power Weapon, the Steel Slasher Greatsword, then drew another Divine Power Weapon—a dagger—and pointed it at the Black Dragon's eye.

"Keep talking, and you might die!"

The warning was soft, but the Black Dragon heard it clearly.

At that moment, the great Rebel Black Dragon Elphis felt death standing very close.
