Chapter 1052: Chapter 1049: Guardian Beast Chapter 1052: Chapter 1049: Guardian Beast The battle was not as evenly matched as imagined, or perhaps Nimia the Giant Lion was not as strong as imagined. Its combat thods consisted of pouncing, biting, tearing, pulling, and occasionally using a bit of Earth System Magic like causing the ground to shake. Its skin was indeed extrely thick, and the razor-sharp teeth and claws of the dragon could only inflict minor injuries.
Even though Li Si Te was controlling Formless Dragon Bard in Unity of Man and Dragon, and exerted the powerful Dragon Dou Qi Manual, he still couldn’t inflict severe wounds on Nimia the Giant Lion.
After a full ten minutes of battle, though Nimia the Giant Lion was covered in blood, it was still lively with no signs of exhaustion.
“Really resilient!”
Li Si Te gritted his teeth, continuing to command Fire Dragon Leo to engage in close combat with Nimia the Giant Lion, while he maneuvered Formless Dragon Bard around the periter to launch sneak attacks, looking for any vulnerabilities to deliver a fatal blow. However, Nimia the Giant Lion appeared to have no vulnerabilities at all.
Even its buttocks, which Li Si Te had reluctantly stabbed twice, only bled profusely without any unexpected result.
When he stabbed its eyes, its eyelids dropped quickly, making it feel like stabbing steel, leaving only a slight white mark. As it roared with its mouth open, Li Si Te even tried to stab inside its mouth, but Nimia the Giant Lion quickly clenched its teeth, nearly breaking the Wrath of Thunder.
“It looks like it truly has no vulnerabilities… Then, I have to grind it down to death!”
The fight intensified for another twenty minutes. Though not a single attack seriously injured Nimia the Giant Lion, a series of small wounds, accumulated on top of each other, continuously weakened its vitality as it lost a significant amount of blood from Superior Magic.
At this rate, a little more grinding would lead to Nimia the Giant Lion collapsing right before his eyes.
Suddenly, this mountain-like massive beast heavily sank to the ground, lding into it at a visibly rapid pace.
“rging with the earth? Trying to escape?” Although unsure what magic this was, it did not stop Li Si Te from interrupting Nimia the Giant Lion’s escape.
Through inner communication,
Fire Dragon Leo stomped forcefully, a surge of Dragon Magic Power furiously rushed into the earth, rapidly disrupting the balance of the magic that Nimia the Giant Lion was trying to cast. In that mont, the massive beast, as if equipped with a spring, was sent bouncing back up from the ground.
Splattered with mud in the process.
It twisted its body and sunk into the ground again, but with another stomp from Leo, it was bounced back once more. After a few repetitions, Nimia the Giant Lion realized that escape was futile. Its speed on the ground was not fast, and now it could not perform its “earth escape” magic.
It could only wait for its demise.
“Bard, another go, this ti for its life!” The Dragon Lance was grasped tightly, Dragon Dou Qi mixed with Dragon Magic Power was violently infused into the lance.
However,
In the next mont,
Nimia the Giant Lion suddenly lowered its head, laying its body flat on the ground, allowing Leo to strike without showing any resistance.
And making a low, “woo woo” sound, Li Si Te did not understand why, but upon hearing it, he suddenly realized that this Earth Attribute Superior Magical Beast was submitting and pleading for rcy. It was a strange form of communication, not ntal communication nor an illusion.
It seed to have a very strong emotional influence in its voice.
“Submit to ?”
Li Si Te was stunned.
He had never considered this option.
Because his impression of Nimia the Giant Lion was that it was tough and unkillable, so from the beginning, he had thought about whether he could kill this legendary Sub-dragon. Furthermore, he coveted the skin of Nimia the Giant Lion, a kind of skin that could even block the attacks of dragons, definitely a superior material for armor.
Given the size of Nimia the Giant Lion, the lion skin stripped off would be enough to outfit several Knight Orders easily, and a Knight Order clad in lion skin armor would certainly be invincible.
After observing the submissive attitude of Nean the Giant Lion, Liszt quickly changed his mind, “No need to kill, just one lion’s skin, how could that be more impressive than taming a Sub-dragon as a mount!” Nean was not a Super Dragon Beast but a real Sub-dragon, on the sa level as Phoenixes and Unicorns.
Of course, it wasn’t as magical as Phoenixes and Unicorns, with its only special trait being its resilience.
“Do you really want to submit to ?” Liszt asked cautiously, not sure if Nean could understand him.
However, Nean quickly made a whimpering sound, conveying its intentions to Liszt—it truly wished to submit, for Liszt possessed the capability to kill it.
“I’m glad you can understand , but how can you assure that you won’t rebel after submitting?”
“Whimper.”
Nean indicated that it was the proud Undying Behemoth Nean, which once subjugated, would not betray, and was willing to protect Liszt, only needing him to provide food.
Liszt believed it.
Powerful creatures like Magical Beasts and Dragons possessed an undeniable pride and rarely displayed deceitful traits—even Evil Dragons, once subdued by a Mind Battle, would obediently cooperate with Dragon Knights as long as efforts were made to eliminate any budding malevolent thoughts before they could flourish; such Evil Dragons would maintain their pride and not betray.
“Good, I accept your submission!”
“Roar!” Nean stood up, glancing briefly at the nacing Fire Dragon Leo and the Formless Dragon Bard beneath Liszt, then began to lick its wounds. Moistened by its saliva, the still bleeding wounds quickly healed.
It shook its fur, and the crusted blood easily flaked off, resuming its previous bright yellow-orange hue.
Yet its overall vitality was visibly depleted, a battle, though not physically devastating, took a considerable ntal toll.
“Now that you’ve submitted to , you may keep the na Nean, but you need to leave the Fertile Lands and follow back to my domain on Fla Island. I need you to guard my King’s Castle, serving as its guardian beast.” Liszt provisionally assigned Nean the role of a watchdog.
Frankly speaking, Nean wasn’t very useful, perhaps in the prowess of Earth System Magic, it could level the grounds and such. However, it was more of a symbol; though a Sub-dragon did not have the sa legendary status as a Dragon, it was still a mark of honor. It would be a gem adorning Liszt’s crown.
Nean nodded almost humanly, following behind the Formless Dragon, racing towards Heroic Yellow City.
Its speed wasn’t fast, but that was only in comparison to Dragons; for ordinary Magical Beasts, its pace was exceedingly fast. Traveling by day and resting by night, taking a whole week, they finally reached Heroic Yellow City. Its mountainous stature, visible from afar, had the Knights of Heroic Yellow City incredibly tense.
Fortunately, Liszt had notified his domains early on, preventing any misunderstandings.
Standing on Nean’s head, Liszt’s silver armor shone brightly, and his crimson cape blew vigorously, making a grand entrance.
The Knights and civilians of Heroic Yellow City, pausing their work, looked up in awe at Nean.
“What is that?”
“Such a huge lion!”
“His Majesty the King is graced with glory!”
“Nean the Giant Lion, the legendary Nean, a Sub-dragon!”
“A Sub-dragon is nothing, His Majesty owns so many Dragons, lifting a giant lion is a breeze.”
“That’s His Majesty Liszt!”
“Great!”
Amid the murmurs of amazent from his subjects, Liszt rode Nean through the Magic Gate of Heroic Yellow City, leaving only the trembling ground in their wake. His monuntal, unbelievable figure was destined to beco a central topic among the residents of Heroic Yellow City for a long ti, during casual conversations after als.
