Dragon Slaying Curtain

At such a critical moment, are there other people seeking revenge against the Dragon Beast?

The moment he realized his identity as a raven.

Linsey's first reaction was that the timing of the other party's appearance was far too coincidental.

He had just prepared to launch his attack when his 'friendly forces' immediately intervened. What a coincidence!

But the next second, everything Linsey had encountered during his two years in the Black Mountain World flooded his mind.

Glacier Elemental driven from their homeland, Root Elder and Mountain Stone Elemental, Tree Spirit of the Starshine Forest, Eyeless People and dragon lizards who have lost their homeland and tribes...

Even the Corrupted Poison Spider at the World Boundary! Linsey traversed the Black Mountain World.

The things he encountered on his journey were probably just a drop in the ocean compared to the whole world.

Even so.

These vividly depicted lives were constantly oppressed by the Dragon Beast.

Given the chance, would they rebel?

The answer to this question doesn't even require thinking! The current situation is that the Dragon Beast and the Dark Abyss, who are both at the Seventh Stage, have broken off their relationship and started fighting.

Both sides were seriously injured.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and one that is unique in the entire world!

If there are still living beings in this world preparing to rebel against the Dragon Beast.

It's probably impossible to find a better moment than this one.

"..."

"In the end, I'm one of them too."

Linsey laughed self-deprecatingly.

He opened the map and, sure enough, besides himself, other Green Marker appeared on Black Mountain, some even turning from red to green! The Black Mountain World Devil Beast summoned by the Dragon Beast were also making their own choices!

"Quack--!"

At the same time, a fierce gale came swiftly from the sky and swirled around the raven.

The raven of the Sixth Stage messenger also possesses the ability to manipulate air currents.

However, its innate ability is different from the hot and cold air currents of Dragon Beast.

The raven's skill tore the surrounding atmosphere into incredibly sharp torrents, like the sharpest blades in the world. These torrents then coalesced into a tornado, rushing straight towards the location where the Dragon Beast resided.

The air hissed, and the colors of the sky became blurred under the influence of the blade-like tornado.

At this crucial moment, Linsey had no reason to hesitate.

He took out a slender gun and charged toward the Dragon Beast's location.

This is not Flame Flintlock Gun, but an ordinary Flintlock Gun.

However, in terms of design, it is almost identical to the Flame Flintlock Gun loaded with [Glorious Bullet]! For this attack, he demanded a single, decisive hit, with no chance of failure!

This ordinary Flintlock Gun is a fraud.

After the first shot made the Dragon Beast realize the weakness of the weapon, Linsey's second strike was the real killing blow, catching it off guard! "Roar—!"

Upon seeing a man and a crow, they attacked him.

The Dragon Beast roared angrily.

The violent airflow, centered on its location, stirred up waves of alternating hot and cold air, which rapidly spread outwards.

The soil and rocks on the broken mountainside collapsed.

One part of it melted into liquid directly in the air, while the other part emitted an extremely cold temperature, reflecting the surrounding shimmering flames.

Boom! The Sixth Stage Raven attack was equally fast.

The razor-sharp tornado and the Dragon Beast collided head-on, and the violent air currents immediately stirred up huge waves around them, and the broken Mountain Peak were almost subjected to a thousand cuts.

What is truly disheartening is...

The Dragon Beast blocked the raven's attack, a hint of leisure even flashing in its eyes.

It was enough to handle the current situation without going all out.

In the Dragon Beast's mind, what it truly needed to be wary of was the Dark Abyss that led to the deep valley below.

It doesn't even consider ordinary Sixth Stage creatures a threat!

Waves formed by alternating hot and cold air currents flowed out continuously, and the sharp-edged tornado gradually dissipated after breaking through several layers.

Whoosh! Amidst the gradually dissipating storm, a streak of black light sped forward.

It was a raven! It abandoned the air currents it had been manipulating and charged straight towards the Dragon Beast's location!

A powerful Essence essence enveloped its body, and its jet-black form seemed to transform into a sharp arrow, continuing its charge towards the weakened Dragon Beast.

Boom! A powerful explosion resounded through the mountain ruins.

Amidst the shattered earth and rocks, the enormous body of the Dragon Beast was finally revealed.

This ferocious beast was coiled on a glacier, which was originally a huge glacier attached to Black Mountain.

After the battle between two Seventh Stage powerhouses, and the subsequent collapse of the mountain.

This is almost the last giant block of ice around Black Mountain.

The Dragon Beast, remnants of a great battle, now lay prostrate here. Its golden-red body was covered in the radiance of Essence, with fiery red and icy blue shimmering everywhere, even the air itself seemed to be tearing and ripping.

"This is the main body."

On the other side, Linsey's eyes narrowed.

He could tell from the creature's body shape that it Lizard Dragon Clan.

However, as an advanced monster, the Dragon Beast has grown a pair of huge bat-like wings on its back, covered with thick and ferocious thorns.

The figure crawling among the rocks resembled a real dragon.

This was a scene straight out of mythology! "Gah—"

At that moment, Linsey saw a flash of black light over there.

The raven, delivering the final blow, escaped the explosion with a mournful cry, its silhouette soaring into the sky.

The Sixth Stage raven still failed.

Its all-out attack couldn't even break through the layer of airflow defense on the weakened Dragon Beast's body! "A fish that slipped through the net."

The Dragon Beast's yellow serpentine eyes stared at the raven soaring into the sky, and beneath its steaming nostrils, its ferocious dragon snout growled, "Since you're courting death..."

Bang! Just then, the Dragon Beast felt something small hit its heart in its chest.

It looked down and saw a bullet falling off its gas shield.

It was then turned into powder by the alternating hot and cold temperatures.

It looked in the direction from which the attack was coming.

—It's Linsey.

Take advantage of the opportunity to fight the ravens.

The human was speeding through the crumbling rocks, charging straight towards him.

In his hand was an unheard-of long-barreled weapon, smoke billowing from its opening.

This attack, which doesn't even qualify as an itching itch, is clearly Linsey's doing.

"Unable to obtain unified chaotic techniques, weak power."

"Trying to challenge the authority of absolute power with this is tantamount to courting death!"

The Dragon Beast thought of Linsey's props, and then of Ethan, who risked his life to rescue them from the Sea of Silent Death.

It just found it ridiculous.

But it was precisely because of this attack that the Dragon Beast suddenly realized what had happened on Black Mountain.

Its original plan was to infiltrate the human ranks, with various possibilities, whether to sabotage the Dark Abyss's plans or to kidnap Red.

But now...

He had already broken ties with Dark Abyss.

The destructive power of the Sea of Silent Death below is also rapidly escalating.

At the same time, the body of the Extinction Crown developed consciousness, and as soon as it ran to the neighboring Courtyard in the Forest, it completely broke free from its control! The collapsed Black Mountain also interrupted its process of advancing to the Eighth Stage.

Unless you kill all the enemies with the power of thunder and find Red and control her.

Otherwise, everything we have today would be meaningless.

For the Dragon Beast, it was a complete and utter defeat!

"Everything here today must die!"

"Roar--!!!"

The Dragon Beast let out a terrifying roar.

Led by Linsey, who had provoked him, a scorching blast of air suddenly rushed towards them.

A single strike was delivered.

The Dragon Beast then planned to turn around and kill the ravens in the air as well.

But at that moment, it sensed something subtle—the human's presence hadn't disappeared!

The Dragon Beast's body trembled slightly, and its yellow snake eyes looked down at the ground.

Linsey suddenly disappeared in front of the air current.

The Dragon Beast immediately sensed Linsey's location; the man was still approaching it from underground!

"Hiding underground? A cunning insect!"

A chill condensed in the Dragon Beast's mouth, and then it raised its front paw and slammed it into the ground.

Rumble! The entire earth trembled, and a violent impact rapidly traveled from the soil towards Linsey's location.

Just as the Dragon Beast had something to offer, Linsey had no choice but to leave the earth.

Then, a breath of icy cold air was gathered and blew towards Linsey's head as he charged forward bravely.

[Mountains Crest] → [Ice Crest]

In an instant, Linsey leaped out from underground, the magic runes on the back of her hand switching.

He immediately activated his cold resistance and was then enveloped by the cold air.

"Hiss--"

Linsey could hardly withstand this low temperature.

The Seventh Stage Dragon Beast was too powerful; a basic ice magic rune was completely unable to exempt it from such an attack.

But the next second, Linsey found herself feeling a warmth in her body.

The terrifying cold snap suddenly disappeared!

He looked up and saw neither the ravens in the sky offering him help, nor the Dragon Beast in front of him showing him pity.

Instead, a portion of the chill around me inexplicably disappeared!

This change was only subtle around Linsey, and even the Dragon Beast couldn't detect it. Only he himself felt this subtle change!

"Um?"

Linsey looked doubtful, but now was not the time to investigate further.

He seized the opportunity to continue charging forward, forcefully passing through the icy airflow exhaled by the Dragon Beast.

"Roar--"

The next second.

What came next was the Dragon Beast's roar once again.

After these two attacks, one cold and one hot, the Dragon Beast had to admit that Linsey was not an insect it could easily deal with.

So it began to gather its Essence, and a red and blue glow shone from its chest.

The intertwined spiral airflow burst forth instantly, carving a deep chasm through the rock fragments and glaciers, while also completely enveloping Linsey's body.

[Ice Crest] → [Magma Crest]

Linsey switched her runes again.

The second-tier [Magma Crest] can perfectly withstand temperatures below 2500℃.

However, the power of the Dragon Beast far exceeds this limit!

Linsey immediately felt the protection provided by the Double Qi Cloak on her body begin to burn, and at the same time, her skin felt a sharp stinging pain.

Linsey was no stranger to this feeling.

In the Anville Village, he sought hope amidst the flames.

"The same today!"

"But I'm different!"

Linsey roared and charged forward against the raging air currents.

In an instant.

He activated the ability of [Story Performance].

Linsey's Essence was rapidly declining, but the power of destiny that erupted in the face of desperation allowed him to retain a last bit of vitality while his body was being burned.

"Ha—a living corpse."

The Dragon Beast let out a disdainful sound.

It looked at Linsey, who was still charging towards it, and disdainfully raised its huge front paws.

"Then let's go—"

Boom! With just this one movement, the raven in the air crashed down again.

"Gah!"

Linsey just saved Raven's life.

At this critical moment, the raven, showing gratitude, did not hesitate and used its own body to knock away the Dragon Beast's front claws!

Linsey continued forward, now very close to the Dragon Beast.

If we fire now...

Click—

The changes are not over yet!

Two enormous ice hands suddenly emerged from the ancient glacier beneath the Dragon Beast, instantly pressing Dragon Beast to the ground.

This is the same Green Marker Linsey saw on the map! Just as Meteor Fire Sprite can be born in Meteor Crater, so too can Magma Fire Monster.

Within the glaciers of Black Mountain, besides the Glacier Elemental, the strongest of a race was born! This occurred when the Dragon Head drove the other Glacier Elemental away from this place.

This Sixth Stage Ancient Frostflow Elemental, relying on its innate characteristics as Elemental Creature, hid inside the glacier and even perfectly deceived the Dragon Beast, quietly waiting for the right opportunity.

The sudden decrease in icy aura during Linsey's charge was also secretly manipulated by him! At this very moment.

The power of destiny, as Story Performance, shrouded the entire mountain ruins and brought the most crucial Revelation to the only remaining glacier protected by the Ancient Frostflow Elemental! The long-awaiting Elemental Lifeform seemed to sense something.

At this critical moment, it revealed itself and used all its strength to drag the Dragon Beast tightly onto its body.

"Snort!"

Is there one more hidden?

The Dragon Beast was bound to the ground by this immense force, but it remained completely calm, its yellow snake eyes filled only with rampant savagery.

"Very well, no one can possibly survive here today."

"Then..."

The Dragon Beast's voice suddenly disappeared.

Its massive and ferocious Dragon Head looked down.

Less than ten meters away, Linsey, dressed entirely in black, stood on a black rock.

The weapon the other side raised was an unremarkable long-barreled weapon.

Yet it was radiating power beyond imagination, truly at the peak of the Seventh Stage, even approaching the Eighth Stage! And the distance between the two was now less than 10 meters! "!!!"

Not good!

Make sure to get away from it!

This is definitely not the weak attack we just saw!

The Dragon Beast immediately struggled fiercely, and the icy hands that bound it began to shatter.

However, the cold aura tightly bound the Dragon Beast's body.

An ordinary Sixth Stage creature would be instantly torn apart by it.

However, the Dragon Beast that controls hot and cold air currents has always had a hidden weakness—coldness.

The Seventh Stage process cannot eliminate this hidden danger.

Now, the racial characteristics of the Ancient Frostflow Elemental have used this to delay it for an extra second.

One second! That's enough time for a bullet! "Goodbye, Dragon Beast."

Linsey pulled the trigger with his right index finger, and the [Glorious Bullet], which appeared for the first time in the Black Mountain World, was activated in the chamber.

The world was completely silent.

Only a streak of brilliant crimson fire flashed by.

The protective airflow on the Dragon Beast's body, strong enough to withstand the pressure of collapsing mountains and splitting the earth, instantly disintegrated and dissipated; the dragon scales, so hard that even metal could not damage them, were also burned to ashes by the immense burning power.

Immediately, brilliant light entered its body.

"Roar..."

The Dragon Beast slightly opened its mouth.

But then, flames that could consume everything in the world suddenly erupted from his chest.

The next moment.

It is the crimson that impacts everything.

The raven that was swooping down again was immediately blown away; the Ancient Frostflow Elemental had been firmly controlling the Dragon Beast was also cracked and shattered; Linsey, who was right next to it, was also thrown high into the air by the impact, floating in the air like a rag!

The Dragon Beast's life force and Essence exploded together.

Its connection with everything in the Black Mountain World was also severed at this moment.

An endless power erupted with intense light, instantly illuminating the world. In the sky, as if it were daytime, someone seemed to sigh.

On the ground, both the Revivalist and the Devil Beast looked up.

They also realized that a change affecting the entire world was taking place in the ruins of Black Mountain, and the Black Mist of fear that had permeated the battlefield had been swept away! "Whoosh—"

at the same time.

As Linsey flew through the air, data flashed across her Attribute Panel.

[Dragon Slayer!!!] [Task Completed— ] [RPG Module Upgraded—] [Module Skill Unlocked] [RPG Module Fully Unlocked, RPG Origin Ability Unlocked]

Just at this moment.

Linsey felt half happy and half desperate.

The scorching heat and the final explosion left him severely injured, and the [Story Performance] almost completely drained his Essence, causing Linsey's consciousness to become blurred.

At this moment, Linsey was blown extremely high into the air and falling downwards had almost no way to save herself!

"The wind... is a bit cold..."

The wind blew past her ears as Linsey murmured as she fell downwards.

His mind was filled with mixed emotions.

The joy of slaying the Dragon Beast, the melancholy of the journey's end, the worry about the Hidden Borderlands, the fear of death, and the concern for Red.

All of this surged into Linsey's mind as she plummeted toward death.

The Willpower Source Material also change accordingly.

[Second Stairway (The Coldness of Death/The Passion of Life) → Third Tier (The Foundation)]

"Upgraded at this time..."

Linsey gave a bitter laugh.

He had almost lost all ability to move, and even the improvement in his Essence was not enough to change the situation.

Feel the changes in the Essence within your body.

Linsey let the chaotic air currents toss her around, her gaze inadvertently drifting downwards.

boom--

Almost simultaneously.

A burst of red flames erupted from the ruins of the Icebound City in the distance.

The Revivalist began to wail, as if annihilation had befallen them.

What is this? Did they succeed in killing Red from the Dark Abyss?

Linsey felt a sense of doubt.

Neither the techniques of the Crimson nor the Dark Abyss could produce this blazing light.

But the instant the firelight died down, he truly felt that the Seventh Stage Essence belonging to the Dark Abyss had disappeared.

"The ground is getting closer and closer."

An idea suddenly popped into Linsey's mind.

Will Red suddenly rush out and catch me at this moment?...

After the miracle of killing the Dragon Beast, no second miracle occurred.

But on the ground directly below Linsey, the carriage called Reality continues to travel on its track.

The shape of the earth gradually folded and rose, like a series of spider webs used to cushion the fall, perfectly laid out along Linsey's trajectory.

Meanwhile, in Linsey...

Before entering the Starshine Forest, Linsey received the [Stone's Breath] from the Mountain Stone Elemental, which emitted a strong earthy aura.

"Ah?"

Linsey continued to fall, still wondering before losing consciousness completely, "What is this thing?"

"Earth element?"

"Anyway, that's fine..."

[Volume 2 concludes today; both chapters are being released together!]
