Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 691 - 689: The Dragon’s Demise
As soon as the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon revived, its first target was Bayer, who was the closest.
"Roar Roar!"
The Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon growled repeatedly as it approached Bayer, its nostrils puffing out large plumes of white steam, its demeanor menacing, as if it was about to swallow Bayer whole.
Bayer’s expression was grave as he faced the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon and said harshly, "Beast, are you planning to rebel?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"Roar!"
The Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon, as if understanding the words, grew even angrier and with a roar, lunged at Bayer.
"Damn it!"
Bayer cursed, quickly dodging and then pulling a gray short wand from his chest, aiming it at the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon.
"This is your doing!" Bayer said, rapidly chanting a curse, "Corey... Nate... Uer..."
"Hiss..."
The Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon’s attacking behavior suddenly stopped, first appearing puzzled, then its body began to violently shake. Moments later, with a loud "boom," it fell to the ground, twisting and writhing as if in intense pain.
The pain did not come from any specific part of the body, but from some hidden flaw deep within its bloodline.
This flaw, which every Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon should desperately keep hidden for life, was somehow discovered by Bayer and his group, making even the strongest Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon instantly vulnerable.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
The Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon kept wailing, its gaze hazy and mind clouded, plunging into a state of confusion.
Bayer watched, snorted coldly, stopped chanting the spell, and pointed toward Richard in the distance, issuing an order to the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon, "Kill him!"
The Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon, looking at Bayer and daring not to resist, its mind tormented by severe pain and hardly remaining, did not hesitate. It spread its wings forcefully and soared into the sky, its ferocious aura fully unleashed, as it charged at Richard.
...
Richard was still using the "Death Finger" to continue clearing the Supreme Order Divine Society members when he suddenly heard strange sounds and slightly turned his head to see the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon rapidly approaching.
The Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon was extremely fast, reaching Richard in the blink of an eye, not spewing any dragon flame but swinging its crystal-like claws, sharp as bladed mud-cutters, ready to tear Richard apart.
Richard reacted swiftly, firing several air missiles to the side and, with the rebound force, quickly dodged the strike, then looked at the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon with a flickering gaze.
"A giant dragon?" Richard exclaimed in slight surprise. It was astonishing since this creature was only the second giant dragon he had witnessed—the first being Gregory. As for Pandora... For some reason, she had never been able to transform into a dragon form, and oftentimes, he automatically ignored the fact that she was a dragon.
"It really is a giant dragon," Richard said aloud, scrutinizing the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon, his eyes gleaming. Previously, while he was with Gregory, he had just started on the path of deciphering extraordinary power and his abilities were too shallow to study such creatures as dragons. Now, with significant progress in his strength, capturing a giant dragon could indeed allow him to discover something.
As for the combat power of a giant dragon...
"Heh!"
Richard chuckled.
Normally, he would never underestimate a giant dragon, but today, at this very moment, was different.
Today, now, he was invincible. Whether it was a powerful Third-level Wizard or a giant dragon, or any other formidable demonized creature, they were all useless against him. To him, they were entities he could easily kill.
Yes, easily kill.
"Roar!"
After the failed attack, the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon quickly turned around, trying to fly back. Richard watched, unceremoniously lifting the "Destructive Gloves" in his hand, aiming at the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The "Destructive Gloves" vibrated intensely.
"Zing zing zing!"
With the power of destiny, energy densely pierced through and precisely hit the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon’s body.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Visible to the naked eye, several round holes were instantly pierced through the body of the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon, causing it to convulse and scream in agony. Yet, it did not die, its strong life force seemed to resist or delay the onset of destiny’s power, and it continued to charge at Richard, roaring as it tried to bite him.
Richard remained unfazed, allowing a large amount of energy inherited from the Black Spirit King to surge out continuously, pouring into the "Destructive Gloves" and shooting persistently at the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon.
If once wasn’t enough, then twice.
If twice wasn’t enough, then three times.
If three times weren’t enough, then ten times.
If that still wasn’t enough, twenty times, thirty times, fifty times, a hundred times!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
The Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon stubbornly flew closer, and the closer it got, the more attacks it endured. By the time it got within about ten meters of Richard, its body was riddled with holes, looking like a sieve.
"Swoosh!"
"Pfft!"
Richard, expressionless, released another "Death Finger," hitting the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon. Like the final straw that broke the camel’s back, the severely weakened Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon could no longer hold on, howled mournfully, and plummeted straight towards the ground.
"Bang!"
The mountain-like body of the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon heavily fell to the ground, creating a huge crater, and the ground shook.
"Snap!"
With a soft sound, Richard landed next to the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon.
At this moment, one could see that, due to its critical injuries and being on the verge of death, the dragon had regained some clarity of mind, its purple eyes looking at Richard with a mixture of fear and complexity, continuously murmuring softly.
Richard reached out, ready to place the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon into Eden, to deal with it slowly after the battle ended. Unexpectedly, footsteps suddenly sounded from behind.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Hmm?
Richard turned his head and saw it was Pandora.
Pandora’s wounds had not healed, and she ran over with furrowed brows, stopping by the side of the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon.
Upon seeing Pandora, the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon suddenly reacted violently, growling continuously, its gaze becoming extremely agitated.
This!
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and decided to look towards Pandora, asking, "What’s wrong?"
"I..." Pandora looked utterly bewildered and innocently said, "I don’t know what happened. I was just watching from over there, watched as it appeared, and felt nothing. But when it fell and started calling out, I felt like it had something it wanted to say to me, and I just ran over here."
Richard: "..." For a moment, he was at a loss for words, only vaguely guessing, could it be some kind of psychological connection between dragons? However, the dragon before him and Pandora’s bloodlines did not seem to match. Logically, since Pandora is Gregory’s daughter, she should belong to a type of Giant Dragon that breathes fire, not this type of close-combat Dragon.
Thinking this, with a "swish" sound, the dying Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon suddenly twisted its head, rubbing its head close to Pandora’s face.
Pandora still looked bewildered, but she instinctively reached out her hand, touching the Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon’s head as if she were petting a wild boar in the forest.
"Swipe, swipe, swipe..."
The Mixed Blood Purple Crystal Dragon whimpered, rubbing back and forth under Pandora’s hand like a small child, then slowly its movements weakened until it finally stopped moving and closed its eyes.
Pandora remained bewildered, then after a moment subconsciously touched her own face and found that tears had unknowingly streamed down her face—strangely, she didn’t even know when she had started crying, or why she felt the need to cry.
