After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 183 - 56: Weaken... and the Fight to the Death_2
Where did you even get the idea that they are fond of killing?
As if to confirm her thoughts, Siegfried, who was being besieged by gigantic dragons in the distance, opened his mouth and spat out a red pillar of light.
The terrifying heat penetrated several mountains.
Then Siegfried twisted his dragon’s head, and the red light pillar swept across violently, cutting through the clouds in the sky as well.
"Should we strategically retreat for now?" the Mother Dragon suggested seriously, looking at Ahtal beside her, only to be met with a look of disgust and disdain.
She stomped her foot in annoyance and said:
"What’s wrong with running away if we can’t win?!"
"To hunt down a beast that’s lost its senses, yet still need to flee," Xi Mu shook his head in disappointment, "Is this the courage of you great dragons?"
"..."
The Mother Dragon clenched her fists, feeling a pain in her chest from the anger, yet she had no way to retort.
Even mere humans dared to stay behind, and now her strategic retreat would indeed seem... shameful, and she would be ridiculed by this human for a lifetime.
However, when she glanced at Siegfried, who was on a rampage, she saw him step on a struggling Black Dragon and burn it to ashes with a breath of dragon fire.
Indeed, it was time for a strategic retreat.
"If we don’t limit Siegfried’s augmentation abilities, it’ll be hard to kill him," Xi Mu spoke calmly, pointing the Great Sword of Death at the Mother Dragon.
"We need to weaken Siegfried’s... maximum magic power."
"With that sword of yours?" The Mother Dragon asked, to which Xi Mu nodded and explained:
"The weapon bestowed by the Witch of Death can forcibly cut down a person’s health bar and mana bar, and even if it can’t cut it down completely, it can still forcibly reduce the maximum value."
The Mother Dragon said expressionlessly, "Speak human language, I don’t understand!"
"Just let me find opportunities to keep slashing at Siegfried, applying negative curses to him continuously," Xi Mu put it simply.
This time the Mother Dragon finally understood and said: "You want us to distract Siegfried while you take the opportunity to ambush him?"
"Exactly," Xi Mu smiled, looking at the Mother Dragon, "As an Ice Dragon, you’re the one Siegfried dislikes the most."
He looked at the hesitant Mother Dragon and skillfully taunted.
"You wouldn’t be scared of fighting a beast, as the Duke’s daughter, would you?"
"You... Humph!" The Mother Dragon snorted coldly, tossing her blue hair, and then flew high into the sky, charging at Siegfried.
Afterward.
"Aaaah!" The Mother Dragon rushed back even faster, with Siegfried chasing her, the red light pillars crazily sweeping behind her, brushing past her body and erasing the nearby mountain peaks.
"Ahtal, you... bastard!"
"..." Xi Mu chuckled, riding his mare to catch up, and while Siegfried was preoccupied with pursuing the Mother Dragon, he managed a skillful backstab.
The Great Sword of Death pierced through Siegfried’s back, and before Siegfried could retaliate, Xi Mu rode away on his mare.
The red pillar of light tore through the sky, just barely missing the mare and Xi Mu.
"Roar, roar, roar!" Siegfried bellowed in rage. Though he had lost his reason, he could still feel himself being entangled by an inexplicable force, making his body weaken even though the force he exerted remained unchanged.
However, his magic power no longer supported his unrestrained use.
The instincts of a beast.
Or one could consider it the remnants of fighting instinct, no matter what, he was once a hero, and the remnants of his fighting instinct were still formidable.
If he hadn’t become... a beast without reason, it would have been impossible to ambush him, given his abundant combat experience and his calm ability to assess the situation.
It would have been enough for him to easily reverse the current situation.
But now that he had become... a beast devoid of reason, the outcome was already predetermined and he would ultimately be defeated by someone using tools and intelligence.
History had long proven this.
"That was close... I almost died!" The Mother Dragon leaned on the hot stone wall with one hand, cold sweat dripping from her forehead. It was the first time she had so directly faced life and death, and the first time she realized why Siegfried had never been troubled by dragons after his dragon slaying.
How could humans be so outrageous?
Although she had long held the concept that as long as one’s "ability" was strong enough, they could have the power to slay dragons, she had never experienced it before.
Taking a deep breath.
The Mother Dragon wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Her sapphire-like eyes looked to the battlefield to see several dragons imitating her, beginning to harass Siegfried, and as soon as Siegfried showed any intent to attack, they would immediately turn and run.
The man in the silvery armor took the chances... to slash and run, never engaging in a prolonged fight.
Wait... why does it seem like I see a woman?
She blinked, the dragon mother furrowed her brows, peering beside Siegfried, there was a blurred female figure, that mature figure... extremely tempting, although one couldn’t discern her specific facial features, but from those childbearing hips and slender waist.
There was no doubt it was the figure of a voluptuous woman.
Suddenly.
That blurred female figure turned her head, her gaze meeting the dragon mother’s for a moment, their lines of sight merging into one.
Death... no, how to describe this feeling, it was like a human infant facing a brown bear in the wild.
Suppressed by an absolutely overwhelming power and aura.
Life or death at the discretion of the other.
However, the blurred female figure quickly withdrew her gaze, seemingly uninterested in the dragon mother.
Survived.
The dragon mother’s knees gave way, and she knelt on the ground, feeling... almost scared to death.
What exactly is the deal with that woman?
...
...
The battle ensued for a long time.
This snow plain, chosen as the battlefield, was transformed into a scorching hell, with molten lava flowing slowly down the slope.
"Boom——!"
The fierce air current spread out from Siegfried’s center, crushing the head of the golden dragon beneath his feet, and then he lifted the dragon’s corpse, beginning to devour it bloodily.
This... was not to vent anger but to replenish the depleted stamina and magic power after being backstabbed a few times.
The magic power and stamina had taken a significant hit.
Beasts could not understand why, but instinct would drive them to eat, to replenish the lost stamina and magic power.
Humans need to eat when hungry.
Beasts do the same.
And this also indicated that the beast had become weak; otherwise, it would not resort to eating in the midst of battle.
"It’s about time to end this."
Xi Mu, riding a small mare, appeared and eyed the feasting beast; this time, he was not immediately attacked.
The beast chose to prioritize its meal, biting into the dragon’s flesh bite by bite, red eyes filled with vigilance.
And the body of the already dead golden dragon was still twitching unconsciously due to the beast’s chewing, its flowing blood soaking the ground.
At this time, under Yimar’s instruction, the giant dragons began to retreat, clearing the battlefield.
Now it was only he and Siegfried.
"Partner, let me be the one to kill him myself." Xi Mu dismounted, holding the undead-piercing spear in one hand and the Great Sword of Death in the other.
The small mare hesitated upon seeing this.
But she still chose to step back two paces; naturally, she knew about the pact between Ahtal and Siegfried.
It was to be Ahtal himself who would kill Siegfried.
"If it weren’t for the lack of time, I would still want to enjoy the battle..."
With that said, Xi Mu charged forward, his whole person like a bullet being shot out, rushing toward Siegfried with astonishing speed.
The spear thrust out in that instant.
Wind gathered at the tip of the spear, targeting the heart of the fallen metal dragon, triggering the battle skill of the undead-piercing spear.
As long as the heart was targeted, the penetrating effect could be triggered.
With Siegfried’s wild instincts, he would certainly detect the danger and thus avoid it.
However, the penetrated metal dragon was different.
The violent wind concentrated and pierced through the metal dragon’s heart, incidentally penetrating Siegfried’s abdomen as well.
And at the same time.
Xi Mu activated Trajectory of the Stars, teleporting in an instant, arriving in front of Siegfried; with his body spinning, the Great Sword of Death, wrapped in black flames, came slashing down.
