After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 779: Witch and Dragon 2

Chapter 779: Witch and Dragon 2

The Vine Monster said in a deep voice: “It’s the reward from Miracle 18, the Seven-colored Crystal Shield, which can block attacks below the Law Tier for one minute!”

Everyone clicked their tongues.

The Law Tier!

Not only does this tier possess the Law Giant, it can also condense a complete Law Core, equivalent to gaining an extraordinarily powerful piece of Magical Equipnt. The Seven-colored Crystal Shield can even block attacks from the Law Tier, not to ntion from them.

It seems they can only wait for the one-minute duration to end.

The Black Bear Man bristled all over, feeling uneasy.

“Idiots, I had planned to keep ‘her’ until entering Cyan City to use, but now I’ve changed my mind.”

Behind the Barrier, Delgon’s expression was calm, all traces of earlier embarrassnt gone: “Killing you Heaven Rank knights will be a great achievent, enough to make up for today’s failure.”

“Moli Alimo has issued the doom…”

Delgon uttered a series of obscure, enigmatic syllables.

Simultaneously, a black stone the size of a goose egg floated out from his sleeve.

With the chanting, the stone shattered, and thick black fog surged outward.

It was like a hungry venomous snake, racing toward the south, following the scent of prey.

“What is that?”

The Vine Monster tried to intercept it, but its body passed straight through the black fog, unable to touch anything.

The other Heaven Rank beings couldn’t recognize it either, their expressions wary.

Only Lin Da vaguely guessed sothing.

When the black fog passed by him, it was as if he slled the stench of a sewer sealed for decades.

Lin Da’s scalp tingled, the nausea almost making him want to vomit out his internal organs.

Even the pollution-ridden Wendy’s foul sll was not one-tenth as potent as the black fog.

“Could it be…”

Lin Da felt uneasy, a terrible premonition rising in his heart.

…

Approximately one hundred miles south of Dragon Fall Mountain Peak.

Above the mountain range.

“Lin Xi, Lin Xi, wake up! It’s , Lia! Don’t you recognize ?”

Lia carried the limp pink-haired girl who resembled a deflated balloon and spoke anxiously:

“Immortality is a lie, everything they told you was a scam! Living to a hundred is good enough.”

“No, no, this isn’t real, I didn’t lose, Your Majesty the Demon King, please give another chance…”

Xilin’s eyes were vacant, and she repeated the sa line over and over.

Lia gave her two hard slaps across the face, but there was no change.

“Let’s wait for the captain to return. He’ll surely know what to do,” Anna said grimly. “For now, let’s head back to Cyan City and find a safe place to hide Xilin… to hide Lin Xi. Her Witch aura is too heavy; if the Knights Order notices, we’ll all be implicated.”

“Damn it, why’ve you ended up like this.” Lia stomped her foot in frustration. “When I see the Demon King, I’m going to kick his ass!”

“Huh? What’s that?”

Suddenly, Lia sensed sothing and turned her head.

Buzz—

Like a swarm of bees, black fog accelerated toward them.

With a loud “boom,” it collided into Xilin.

“Ugh… Ah, ah… ah…”

Xilin’s eyes bulged out, her body trembling violently as though seized by convulsions.

The scene terrified both Lia and Anna.

They watched as agony filled Xilin’s face while black thorn-like markings rapidly spread across her skin.

In the blink of an eye, Xilin beca entirely black!

“What’s happening to you?” Lia asked urgently, staring at her.

“Watch out!” Anna reverted to her giant bat form, ready to face danger.

“Ahhh! Ahhhhh!”

Xilin’s screams grew louder and louder as black bubbles popped out of her eyes, nose, and mouth.

The dark thorn-like markings ca alive, extending out from her body and transforming into a massive cluster of tentacles.

Like the tentacles of a monstrous octopus, they reached toward the sky, flailing wildly.

As the tentacles grew larger, they began to liquefy, and gradually ford the outline of black wings.

At the center of the black entity, an ominous golden vertical pupil lit up.

Soon, a gigantic dragon head erged, as if sculpted from clay.

“Lin Xi?”

Gazing at the enormous black monstrosity, Lia froze completely.

Her close friend had turned into…

A dragon.

…

…

Roar—

A majestic Dragon Roar echoed from the south.

Everyone at Dragon Fall Mountain Peak felt a jolt in their hearts, their bodies instinctively tense.

Where did this Giant Dragon co from?

The only types of dragons that could exert pressure on warriors of their caliber were Heaven Rank dragons!

But the native Magical Creatures of a Level 30 Mystic Realm couldn’t exceed Level 69.

Where did this Heaven Rank dragon co from?

The Black Bear Man widened his eyes in fury: “Old bastard, is this your doing?”

“Haha, and if it is, what of it, you pitiful fools?” Delgon sneered. “Let show you the vast chasm between man and dragon.”

“Lin Da, stay close to , don’t leave my side even for a step,” Bailuo said, gripping Lin Da’s hand tightly, her ice-blue eyes fixed on the direction of the Dragon Roar. “I’ll make sure you get out of here safely. These Heaven Rank warriors… can’t be trusted.”

The Black Bear Man and the others, once convinced their lives were in danger, would never foolishly stay to risk death.

Yet Delgon’s true target wasn’t even the Black Bear Man and his allies.

Determined to hold her ground, Bailuo decided she would ensure Lin Da’s escape.

“Now, can you tell the ‘answer’? I fear I may not have another chance to hear it in the future.”

Without turning around, Bailuo spoke.

But her body betrayed her; her trembling grip on Lin Da’s small hand revealed her fear.

Being touched on the head, held hands with, and trained alongside a stranger for a year—all of this was because Bailuo believed Lin Da to be her teacher.

Considering this battle involved life and death, Bailuo decided not to wait any longer.

“Please tell the truth,” Bailuo said, her words sincere and deliberate.

Lin Da was lost in thought, not responding imdiately.

The dragon’s aura from the south was identical to Xilin’s.

His worst fears had co true.

The ultimate corruption could strip a Witch of her original form.

Lin Da wasn’t even sure if his Purification ability could heal a Witch in such a state.

A frost-cold killing intent surged in his chest. Lin Da’s eyes were devoid of emotion as he stood motionless in midair.

Bailuo felt dazed. She seed to see Lin Da’s frost-blue Ice Abyss uniform shift into a pure black trench coat, with his Wind Shadow Sword transforming into the Demon Sword Philo. The images of the two gradually overlapped…

“Teacher…” Bailuo cried out instinctively, overco with emotion.

Before she could finish, a burst of maniacal laughter interrupted her.

Delgon raised his arms in reverence, as though praising a Deity, laughing wildly:

“Behold, the pinnacle of Dragon’s Rest Tomb—the Catastrophe Dragon!”

Boom!

The imnse black wings whipped up a tempest, shredding clouds into fragnts that dispersed rapidly.

The Heaven Rank warriors staggered backward dozens of ters, feeling as though a boulder weighted down their chests.

Sensing the oppressive aura from the south, their expressions changed dramatically.

Such power was at least Level 77!

Lin Da and Bailuo also stumbled and took six or seven seconds to steady themselves.

Looking ahead, Lin Da’s eyes widened in shock.

Bailuo was equally stunned, her cat ears flattening in terror.

Appearing before them was a black Magical Dragon.

Its wingspan extended a hundred ters, its four legs as thick as pillars, and its black scales glistened coldly.

With its head held high, the Magical Dragon’s dark golden pupils radiated wrath, poised to obliterate everything around it.

Dragons, as mythical creatures, inherently possessed higher Ability values than other races, with differences dependent on the Dragon Species. Royal Family Holy Dragons could crush Five-colored Giant Dragons of the sa level!

The dragon before them, while not one of the Royal Family, was close in rank—a species lost in the annals of history.

—The Dark Demon Dragon!

Once a contender for the Royal Family throne against the Holy Dragons, it was eradicated and erased from the continent.

But its ability to challenge the Holy Dragons’ dominance was proof of its imnse strength.

No one could have anticipated Delgon summoning an ancient, forgotten species.

“Damn.” The Black Bear Man muttered weakly, too shocked to swear further.

The Vine Monster’s gaze flickered, while the voluptuous Elf quietly stepped back a few paces.

No one had the confidence to face a Level 77 Dark Demon Dragon head-on.

“Do you see it? My ultimate masterpiece from Dragon’s Rest Tomb!”

Delgon flew above the Magical Dragon’s head, aiming his Skeleton Staff at the Black Bear Man: “Now, with its Dark Flas, burn that hideous Beastman to ashes!”
