Slaughter

Garen first planned to slay the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon. ☠🐲 💝🐻

The first reason, naturally, was to gain experience.

The second point was that he had his eye on the dragon tendons of the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon.

It was rumored that the tendons of a Twin-Horned Flood Dragon were incredibly tough, making them the premier choice for crafting bowstrings.

Garen's archery skills had been honed to perfection through his trials in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but his current Purple Dragon Bow could no longer keep up with his pace. It required reinforcement to meet the demands of dealing with Saint Realm magical beasts.

In the core area of the Blazing Sun Desert, jagged rocks stood everywhere. Stone pillars, dozens to over a hundred meters high, stood upright in a ring. In the center of this circle, a python-like dragon with two horns on its head raised its gaze, staring fixedly at the humanoid tiger-beast standing atop a Golden Sun Eagle in the sky.

The Saint Realm Twin-Horned Flood Dragon sensed the Saint Realm aura emanating from both this humanoid monster and the Golden Sun Eagle beneath its feet.

"Human? This is my territory, Douglas. Are you trying to provoke a battle?"

Although it sensed the Saint Realm aura from both Garen and the Golden Sun Eagle, the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon, possessing dragon bloodline, did not flee; instead, it spoke, attempting to drive Garen away.

Garen sent a telepathic message to the Golden Sun Eagle in the sky.

"When the fight starts later, act according to the situation and just sneak-attack from the side."

The Golden Sun Eagle had only recently advanced to the Saint Realm and its cultivation was not yet stable, but in a battle between Saint Realm entities, acting as support shouldn't be a problem.

Garen didn't waste words with the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon; he drew his God-Slaying Blade and flew rapidly toward the beast.

Clusters of materialized baleful energy enveloped Garen, making him appear like a demon god descended to the world.

As Garen approached, the snarling Twin-Horned Flood Dragon felt its body and internal energy affected by the baleful aura, its overall strength instantly dropping by thirty percent.

Yet, it remained fearless. Opening its maw, it instantly unleashed a Tier 9 spell: Meteor Shower.

Countless massive fireballs, five to six meters in diameter, descended from the sky, crashing straight toward Garen.

The Golden Sun Eagle reacted quickly, manifesting countless wind blades over a meter long.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The Wind Blades collided with the fireballs, destroying most of them and scattering them into sparks.

However, a few, controlled by the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon, still slammed toward Garen. Garen swung his blade several times; with a flash of blade shadows, the fireballs shattered, though it delayed him for a few breaths.

When he looked at the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon again, its entire body was encased in a diamond-like armor, as if it were wearing a transparent suit.

Damn, magical beasts can use Saint Earth Guardian Armor too?

Garen didn't stay surprised for long; wind gathered beneath his feet, and he covered the hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

"Violent Slash!" (A technique created from the Profundity of Explosion of the fire element)

The God-Slaying Blade erupted with black and red colors, striking the top of the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon's head.

"Crack, crack."

The power of that strike was terrifying!

The diamond-level Saint Earth Guardian Armor, known for its supreme defense, was split open by a single blow.

Before Garen could attack again, the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon suddenly reared up, its massive body rapidly coiling.

"Death Coil."

The ultimate killing move of python-type magical beasts.

Garen was startled and exploded with speed, flashing a hundred meters away.

That was close. If I had been caught in that massive body's Death Coil, unable to move, and unable to unleash my full physical strength or battle qi, I would have been in real trouble.

After Garen took precautions against this move, he began to leverage his speed advantage.

Black figures flickered all over the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon's body; Garen struck once and retreated, never dragging things out. His speed was so fast that over a dozen afterimages appeared.

In just a moment, the diamond-level Saint Earth Guardian Armor shattered.

The Twin-Horned Flood Dragon was thrown into chaos by Garen's speed. Its massive head and maw struck out like lightning, but unfortunately, it only bit into Garen's afterimages every time.

Before long, the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon was covered in wounds from the God-Slaying Blade, its flesh mangled. However, the beast was simply too large; wounds over a meter deep were not enough to be fatal.

Garen wanted to target a specific spot, but the constant writhing of the dragon forced him to grind it down.

No wonder magical beasts are considered equivalent to peak Saint Realm humans once they reach the Saint Realm. Their massive bodies make their physical strength and defense formidable, and their internal energy storage is several times that of a human. Their foundation alone is ten times stronger than a human's.

If Garen kept grinding, he would surely kill this Twin-Horned Flood Dragon eventually. However, even with the Blessing Gem on his White Tiger Armor, he consciously began to conserve his battle qi, estimating that he would have to exhaust his reserves to finish the beast off.

Just then, Garen received a telepathic message from the Golden Sun Eagle, and his heart filled with joy.

After feigning a lack of battle qi and launching a few probing attacks, Garen suddenly flashed to the side.

"Whoosh..."

A sharp, piercing sound echoed through the air, followed by faint spatial cracks that appeared in the wake of Garen's departure.

A wind-element forbidden spell: Dimensional Blade.

"Squelch."

The Twin-Horned Flood Dragon had been entirely focused on Garen, having long forgotten about the other Saint Realm magical beast in the sky. Combined with its grievous injuries, it was caught off guard by the sudden attack and was sliced into two pieces without suspense.

After the Double-Horned Flood Dragon's tail gave a few final, unwilling twitches, its soul was dragged off to the Underworld.

Ding: Killed Saint Realm Magic Beast Double-Horned Flood Dragon, gained 2239 experience points.

Garen ignored the experience points because he saw a ball of light floating up after the Double-Horned Flood Dragon died.

I wonder what kind of good gear will drop from killing a Saint Realm magic beast.

With a heart full of excitement and trepidation, Garen flew over.

Ding: Congratulations, you have obtained one Soul Golden Bead.

"Holy crap, you've got to be kidding me. Killing a Saint Realm magic beast actually dropped a Soul Golden Bead? That's insane."

A Soul Golden Bead was a precious item that could strengthen the soul. It was basically impossible for those at the Saint Realm to refine, unless they belonged to a special race. Even among those at the God Realm, only a tiny fraction of people who specialized in soul research could refine them, and the cost was immense while the refining speed was incredibly slow.

Soul Golden Beads were highly useful even to experts at the God Realm. One had to realize that in the Higher Plane, a Low-level Divine Artifact was only worth a few Ink Stones, while a Soul Golden Bead was worth one hundred thousand Ink Stones.

However, Garen figured that the system probably only dropped such a good item because it was his first time killing a Saint Realm magic beast, much like a "first kill" bonus on a boss in a game; there certainly wouldn't be such good luck in the future.

He put away the Soul Golden Bead, dug out the Magic Crystal Core of the Double-Horned Flood Dragon, extracted its tendons, and after placing the Saint Realm Magic Crystal Core and the tendons into his Space Ring, Garen sat down on the spot to attempt to absorb the massive soul energy within the Soul Golden Bead.

Wisps of soul energy flowed into the Sea of Consciousness within his mind. Garen felt incredibly refreshed, sensing that his mind had become much clearer, and his perception of the Law of Wind Element and the Law of Fire Explosion had become significantly sharper.

His spiritual power was also slowly strengthening along with the increase in soul energy, and Garen sensed his magic level slowly rising.

After absorbing less than one-thousandth of the essence within the Soul Golden Bead, Garen felt that the soul energy in his Sea of Consciousness had reached a state of saturation.

He checked his personal attributes.

Warrior Level: Level 9 (373,474/1,000,000 experience)

Wind Element

Law Profundity: "Wind Element" (990,000/20,000,000 experience)

Fire Element

Law Profundity: "Profundity of Explosion" (1,260,000/50,000,000)

Transformation Level: Saint Realm

Magic Level: Level 9 (150,000/1,000,000 experience)

In just this short amount of time, his comprehension of the Law Profundities had increased by hundreds of thousands of experience points, and the strengthening of his spiritual power had also added over a hundred thousand experience points to his magic level.

The soul really is important. No wonder that after upgrading to a Low-level God and strengthening the soul, the speed of comprehending laws is thousands of times faster than when one is at the Saint Realm.

I would like to thank "Suifeng Qugan" for the six steady recommendation votes every day, as well as the other brothers who cast their recommendation votes. I wrote a chapter this morning, and I have to watch the match this afternoon. Are there any friends here following the S13 Finals?
