I'm a Sun Warrior, and I'm Proud!

Each dragon is quite powerful; after all, they all have the word "dragon" in their name, and if they were weak, it would ruin their reputation.

However, apart from the giant flying dragon that had not yet landed and was still circling in the sky, no smaller flying dragons that had reached the elite level appeared.

The strength of a small flying dragon is between D+ and D++, which is below the standard C Rank for Elite Monsters.

A team of experienced Silver Rank adventurers, whose numbers reach the dungeon's maximum, should be able to contend with these two-digit dragons. Their chances of winning are uncertain, but at least they won't be completely overwhelmed. Unfortunately, the number of people in the Painting World is not as large as outside.

If you're alone, facing these dragons would be a bit of a stretch.

However, this also depends on the individual's status as a lone traveler.

With the power of his weapon, Hervey's strength is undoubtedly worthy of being rated as gold-level. Back when he fought Eldridge, he would have been considered one of the main forces like Fingel.

Now, having been thoroughly manipulated by Sion and in a state of heightened emotion, he unleashed two hundred percent of his full power!

As for the reason, it is—

"I'm now Sun Warrior, oh oh oh!"

His massive muscles, passionate shouts, and high spirits all demonstrated his pride in being Sun Warrior.

And we must eliminate these monsters to save the Painting World from this perilous situation and live up to our current status!

Because of the Hypnosis Magic circle placed in the Painting World and his own personality, he is now extremely immersed in it!

The three-headed fire dragon formed from Choking Dragon Fang charged towards the flock of flying dragons one after another, and the terrifying high temperature could instantly evaporate the water.

The mobility of small flying dragons is not outstanding among monsters, but it is mediocre. However, in this situation, many flying dragons will dodge to the side before the flames rush up, and they should be able to avoid the attack if nothing unexpected happens.

However, it is impossible to avoid unexpected events.

Because where they are now is a narrow alley!

"Bang!"

Something suddenly shattered behind the flock of dragons. Accompanied by the sound of shattering pottery, a stench that no living creature could bear instantly spread, violently assaulting everyone's senses.

It smelled like Dung Pie and Stink Bomb; the Sparkfire Church had mixed together the things that Leon, who hated both of them, loved!

The Dung Pie can attract the enemy's aggro, while the Stink Bomb can drive them away. Both of these effects have a touch of magic to them. When these two seemingly contradictory effects are combined with a little bit of the Sparkfire Church's trickery, they are thrown out.

It can cause a momentary disorientation in creatures that inhale the stench!

It stinks! I'm going to kill this stinky thing!

It stinks! I need to get away from here right now!

The simultaneous appearance of these two ideas causes confusion in creatures, especially monsters whose minds are dominated by rage, giving adventurers an opportunity to take advantage!

At this moment, the fire dragons crashed into the flock of flying dragons one after another, and raging flames exploded in the narrow alley. The flames shot out far and wide from both sides, reminiscent of the straight-line bombs in Bubble Fighter.

"Gah! Gah!"

The orange flames covering the narrow alley surged like an activated cocoon. The next moment, a blackened dragon emerged from the cocoon. Some of the raging "insects" rushed towards Hervey on the other side, while others turned and ran towards the outside of the alley, naturally due to the effects of the Dung Pie and the Stink Bomb.

Because of the stench, the flames seemed to explode even more violently.

On the other side of the flames, Hervey, protected by the Choking Dragon Fang, slightly raised his hand towards the attacking monster, and thousands upon thousands of Dragon Scale shot out like a rain of arrows.

All that could be heard were the sounds of scales shattering, flesh tearing, dragons roaring, and flames exploding, all intertwined in a chaotic symphony.

Locals, eager for a good spectacle, threw Oil Urn and other things into the flames to help, which made Hervey's smile even wider as he watched the scene unfold.

I really feel like I'm incredibly popular. Just how popular is the Sun Warrior I'm replacing?

No, it should be said that the reputation of the Sun Warrior spread far and wide.

"Aww!"

A single blast of attacks cannot stop the dragon. The killing power of a single Dragon Scale is quite limited, and since the attack is spread out, the killing power is further reduced.

The dragons that had been burned and cut were only slightly tanned; they looked disheveled but were actually in excellent health.

However, Hervey did not expect to win so easily; he was prepared for a long-term guerrilla war.

The scattered Dragon Scale immediately formed various obstacles in the narrow alley, sometimes chains binding the dragon's wings, sometimes tripwires, and sometimes even forming shield walls, all hindering the dragon's progress.

If one or two dragons are stopped, the dragons following behind them will be forced to slow down, and the not-so-long alley will seem to have no end.

Meanwhile, Hervey brandished his Lightning Spear and hurled it fiercely at the horde of dragons.

Indeed, only this lightning spear is the most lethal weapon against dragons, and it is especially effective against the dragons in the Zane Dungeon.

Back when the legendary Sun Warrior Stroland had just learned how to use lightning, his lightning spear could trip a female Rathalos. Hervi's lightning, honed over so long, would only be more powerful.

Each bolt of lightning that struck the dragon tore its skin open, leaving the flesh charred and emitting a foul odor, with no chance of healing in a short time.

This is the real harm!

Hervey always aimed for the head, and basically two shots were enough to blow the dragon's head off, and a follow-up shot would kill it instantly.

In just a short time, three dragons had fallen to his hands.

The remaining dragons weren't stupid either. Those that rushed out of the alley were flying towards the other side, trying to surround him and form a sandwich between the two sides. Meanwhile, those that charged straight at him were using the corpses of their brethren as shields, and they were getting extremely close to Hervey.

"Only a fool wouldn't move."

Without hesitation, he turned and ran with a remarkably graceful and unrestrained style. Just before being surrounded by two opponents, he broke out of the narrow alley and ran towards a closer alley.

He actually managed to get inside.

What follows is an endless cycle of tactics.

Relying on the numerous, star-like abilities of the Choking Dragon Fang, he always managed to lure the flock of dragons into the alley, and then continuously unleash the Thunder Spear and Great Lightning Spear.

The number of flying dragons has been steadily reduced.

Among them were some powerful or intelligent wyverns that were able to get close to him, and even inflict some injuries. He had sent almost all of his Choking Dragon Fang out to fight, and he was injured as a result.

However, compared to physical injuries, the depletion of one's own magical energy is the most painful.

Wyverns are already physically strong, and a group of them together is even more ridiculously muscular. The consumption of the Thunder Spear is not too bad, but the Great Lightning Spear is a real mana drainer.

By now, Hervey was panting heavily and cold sweat was beading on his forehead, but the number of wyverns was still in the double digits.

The tactics are fine, but it seems like my mana is running low.

Hervey drank a mouthful of the Element Bottle, and his injuries healed at a visible speed. But unfortunately, this useful tool would be almost gone after a couple more sips.

Looking at the bright red, undead treasure, he couldn't help but sigh, "Why isn't there Element Bottle to restore magic power?"

It seems that Gong Qiying never gave adventurers any blue Element Bottle to restore their magical power.

Even the most energetic and excited person will gradually sober up when they encounter fatigue, and Hervey is doing just that now.

He gradually began to feel tired, and the thought that he could never kill these dragons no matter how hard he tried appeared in his mind. This was a dangerous sign.

"Go for it, Sun Warrior!"

Just then, the children's cheers for him rang out at the perfect moment, as if they had planned it all along.

"!"

Hervey shuddered as the Hypnosis Magic of the Painting World took effect once more, straightening his slightly bent back and reigniting the flames of the Choking Dragon Fang.

"I will do my best!"

After letting out a roar that sounded like he'd been injected with adrenaline, he slashed his skin with the Choking Dragon Fang, instantly transforming into a muscular super soldier. His armor also grew larger, making him look like he could seamlessly transition into a muscleman movie.

With another swipe, his muscular body, which was almost disgustingly strong, became even stronger, and Dragon Scale grew directly from the surface of his body beneath the armor. When he removed his helmet, two horns sprouted from his forehead.

He slashed twice with his Dragon Scales, then opened his mouth wide towards the approaching flock of flying dragons. The next moment, lightning and flames spewed from his mouth, engulfing the leading dragon!

His body vanished instantly, only to reappear in front of the dragon engulfed in thunder and fire in the blink of an eye. Holding a thunder spear in each hand, he plunged them into the dragon's head!

After a loud sizzling sound, the smell of burning filled the air, and he charged towards the other dragons like a mad beast.

The lightning spear, originally intended for throwing, has become a melee weapon in his hands. His temporarily enhanced physical defense can withstand dragon Dragon Claw, making him look like a god of war!

He's truly the epitome of Warrior!

"Wow, you've got some skills."

In the city lord's room, Gong Qiying nodded in approval as he watched Hervey's impressive performance, muttering to himself, "What exactly are the abilities of his weapons? They look so messy."

Hervey's Warrior state wouldn't last long. Compared to Te Er from the Strategy Team, he was practically a three-second wonder. Soon, his muscular body started to deteriorate, and he was on the verge of becoming weak.

"No, you can't rest now."

Gong Qiying swiped his finger across the City Lord Panel a few times, intending to give Hervey a little more encouragement.

Almost simultaneously, the residents who had been hiding inside the buildings and had fallen silent resurfaced, shouting at the top of their lungs:

"Please save us, Sun Warrior!"

"It all depends on you, brave Warrior!"

"Thank you for fighting for us until now. Please run away quickly and don't worry about us anymore!"

"Awooooo!"

A wild voice erupted instantly, but this time it wasn't the dragons shouting; the voice belonged to Hervey.

How could anyone relax after listening to these people?

Choking Dragon Fang, then strengthen it!

As Choking Dragon Fang continued to pierce his body, his muscles swelled, and he fought the dragon horde like the Hulk, causing the entire earth to tremble.

His roar and the dragon's cry mingled together, making it impossible to tell which was the monster; only hot blood was splashing everywhere!

This scene is simply too beautiful for Bloodlust viewers.

"Is the Hypnosis Magic circle too powerful?"

Seeing Hervey in such a deranged state, even Gong Qiying had just thought Hervi wasn't Bloodlust enough, began to worry about her health. He didn't want to harm her.

As everyone knows, he is the city lord who cares most about the health of adventurers.

"I'll give him a recovery item later, I feel a bit bad about it."

I don't know how much time has passed.

"This is the power of the Sun Warrior!"

Standing amidst a swarm of fallen dragons, Muscle Man Hervey roared to the sky!

Cheers erupted all around him, and countless words of praise poured in. Not a single word escaped the phrase "Sun Warrior." He suddenly felt a transcendent sense of being a superstar surrounded by admirers, and even the fatigue from the battle seemed to vanish.

Moreover, subconsciously, this exhilarating feeling is associated with the Sun Warrior!

Assimilation complete!

The bond between this child and the Zane Dungeon is almost full.

Even Gong Qiying didn't expect that he could use the Painting World to quickly max out the adventurer's bond, making the other party even more fond of Sein. It was truly an unexpected situation.

Just as Hervey's adrenaline finally gave way and he was about to collapse, a dragon's roar came from the sky, and a huge shadow fell on the earth. The cheers that had been heard from the people immediately turned into screams of fear.

It was that giant dragon of normal size, which finally appeared after all the smaller dragons had been defeated.

"Tsk, I'm not in good shape right now." Hervey gritted his teeth, wondering if he could win if he went all out.

However, the final calculated probability was extremely low. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to fight the leader of the dragons one-on-one after battling the dragon pack. His potential was almost exhausted. Did they really think he was Brave who could unleash his power without reason?

The dragon swooped down on him, its enormous shadow about to descend upon the earth and destroy everything; it seemed all hope was lost.

"Boom—"

However, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly ripped through the sky and struck the dragon squarely on the head to Hervey's astonishment!

"Thump!"

The flying dragon crashed heavily to the ground, and the once mighty warrior was now in a sorry state! It even looked like he was taking in less air than he was exhaling!

He was instantly killed?

Hervey quickly looked in the direction from which the lightning had come, and his pupils widened in shock.

"So, Solaire!?"

The figure of the most legendary Sun Warrior stands prominently atop the city wall!

The battle in the Painting World suddenly came to an end.
