Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 487 - 041: Gravitational Field

The immense aura seemed to cover the entire sky, and as the firmament collapsed, a dark abyss spread out.

A terrifying pressure, as if palpable, surged downward like a crashing wave, bearing down on Hansen’s shoulders,

Crack, crack...

The bricks beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch, forming cracks that spread like a web in all directions.

His skin split open, oozing bright red blood.

In that moment, Hansen felt as if he had fallen into an abyss of despair.

Death, he did not fear.

If he could exchange his life for the success of Her Highness’s mission, bringing hope of salvation to Ireland, Captain Hansen would not hesitate.

He was long prepared to sacrifice everything, including his life, for Her Highness.

It was because of this that he took a gamble.

As the captain of the Ireland Kingdom Royal Knight Order, Hansen understood some traits of the Dragon Race.

They were powerful, inherently proud, constantly referring to others as lowly reptiles, possessing the continent’s most elite bloodline, their pride etched deep within their veins since birth.

Even as the captain of the Ireland Kingdom Royal Knight Order, he was merely a stronger insect in the eyes of the Dragon Race.

Thus, Hansen gambled.

He gambled that the Blue Dragon before him would erupt in fury at his provocation, then crush him like an insect. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He gambled that even if he died, the innate arrogance of the Dragon Race would compel the Blue Dragon to react to the doubt cast by such a lowly insect.

To enrage this Blue Dragon named Austin, by defying the norm.

If so, everything would succeed.

Even if the scheme failed, the worst outcome would be his own death; a Blue Dragon capable of building such a grand legacy wouldn’t target Her Highness out of spite because of him.

Putting life and death aside, he gambled his life, betting on a sliver of hope.

Frankly, even Austin had to admire this courage.

The principles of the Royal Knights shone brilliantly in the not-so-older Hansen.

However,

Hansen didn’t anticipate that the Austin he faced was not an ordinary Blue Dragon.

The blood of the Giant Dragon Race flowed within him, but some of the Dragon Race’s flaws were not necessarily present in him.

Though he bore a dragon’s body, his soul from the Otherworld directly suppressed the arrogance and greed for wealth attached to the Giant Dragon Bloodline.

At this moment, Hansen felt as if,

those deep, azure eyes pierced through the layers of space, seeing through all the secrets of his heart with nothing hidden.

All his calculations laid bare beneath those dragon eyes.

"Boy, I admire your bravery to sacrifice life, but do you know how you wish to die daring to toy with a Giant Dragon!"

The immense pressure descended like a rolling tide.

Hansen screamed in agony, his body being crushed to the ground, bleeding from head to toe, the bricks beneath him shattering and forming a depression as if about to press him into the stone below.

Powerful, terrifying!

Even though Hansen, the Captain of the Royal Knights, was at least a Gold Level Great Warrior, he was overwhelmed to this extent by Austin’s aura in the grand hall.

He had no ability to resist!

If it were any other legendary pinnacle being, they might not achieve such a feat.

But Austin was different; over these years, he’d delved deeply into the Law of Dreams Origin, steeping himself further in dream power, where reality and illusion converged, akin to an Illusion Technique, yet surpassing even that.

The aura of Austin’s Legendary High Tier infused with the Dream Realm Law constantly emitted.

The massive oppressive force, intertwined with reality, formed a tangible, tremendous gravity field upon Hansen.

Rendering Captain Hansen utterly defenseless, crushed into the stone beneath.

Despite being upon the throne, without any movement, just the release of his aura exerted such immense power.

The terror of the dragon above deeply embedded in the mind of everyone present.

Struggling under this nightmarish real gravity field, Hansen seemed on the brink of being completely pulverized into a mass of flesh.

At this moment,

Princess Sarah finally reacted, rushing forward to plead with Austin:

"Great His Highness Austin, I apologize for Hansen’s offense, please spare his life, I can compensate at any cost."

The words came swiftly, filled with urgency.

"Sarah Plantis, everyone must pay for their mistakes, your plea is refused."

The cold, unsympathetic voice came from above, filled with an authoritative tone that brooked no argument.

Just as Princess Sarah grew more anxious, a thunderous voice again came from above:

"However, a lowly reptile’s defiance hardly warrants my wrath; if this boy survives my majesty, so be it, I’ll spare him. But if he can’t even withstand this aura, it shows he’s only this much."

Contempt, blatant contempt.

But Austin, naturally, had his right to scorn.

It was also his most potent counterattack,

how could a crawling ant who can’t withstand my aura dare question me?

"Ahhh..."

Perhaps hearing Austin’s words, or perhaps seeing Her Highness by his side, Hansen, lying on the ground, supported himself with his hands, tremblingly struggling to rise.

Both arms split open, blood seeping out.

Veins bulged on his forehead as if about to burst.

The arms supporting his body trembled, slowly lifting his body against the immense pressure, barely leaving the ground.

Yet in the next moment, with a bang, he slammed back heavily onto the ground.

"Captain Hansen!"

A chorus of shock.

The knights of the Royal Knight Order in the rear attempted to step forward but were nailed in place by a fierce pressure, unable to advance an inch.

"It seems you are just this much."

Gazing at the crushed Captain Hansen beneath the gravity field created by sheer aura, Austin’s voice echoed coldly within the grand hall.

Seeing Hansen about to be crushed to death under this dreadful aura, amid Princess Sarah’s pleas for mercy,

Suddenly,

"Roar!!!"

A beast’s roar shook the skies, coupled with terrifying momentum; below, in the Dragon Nest Tribe Main City, a horrific giant gorilla, over ten meters tall and covered in steel-like fur, broke through the seal of an underground laboratory in a certain area of the Dragon Nest Tribe Main City and charged out onto the streets.

Instantly, everyone’s attention was drawn to this sudden upheaval.
