Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 828 - 709: Traces and the Appearance of a Powerful Foe (2)

Boom!

The crystal cultivation tank exploded in an instant.

An invisible power surged upward, mercilessly piercing a huge hole through the roof of the costly laboratory.

Roar——!

A tremendous dragon's roar echoed throughout the 300 square kilometer Witchcraft Garden, causing the Extraordinary Creatures hosted there to simultaneously drop to the ground.

Even Angie, who had reached her limit, couldn't help but buckle, only staying upright thanks to Aiven's timely support.

Step.. step.. step..

As the dust settled, Anita appeared before them in a brand-new form.

Instead of transforming into a monstrous and terrifying dragon-man form, she resembled a hybrid of a human female and a demon, which in Aiven's mind was unmistakably a Monster Girl.

Her eyes were a signature golden and blue dragon pupil, and two crystal-clear spiral horns emerged from her fair forehead. Her magnificent emerald hair seemed as if it was continuously undulating in water, gently wavering behind her.

Her slender limbs were covered in a smooth layer of emerald scales, forming ornate shoulder and skirt armor on the shoulders and thighs, while her hands and feet had all transformed into powerful dragon claws.

A steel-whip-like dragon tail swayed instinctively behind her, easily tearing through the hard stone slab.

Metallic gleaming, rigid scale armor ascended layer by layer, accentuating her ample bosom. Amidst the heavy scale armor, large areas of fair waist and abdomen skin were exposed, revealing a slim, strong waist, a diamond-shaped slender navel, and even a well-defined abdominal muscle line.

However, if an enemy assumed that any area not covered by scales was a weak point, they would be gravely mistaken.

For pure-blooded Giant Dragon Species, possessing Solidification: Innate Armor meant that even the most vulnerable eyes had defensive capabilities equal to the tough scale armor.

This was also the most perfect combat form that Anita subconsciously held aside from her giant dragon form. Once she completely adapts over time, she should be able to precisely control and fine-tune it.

Meanwhile.

The unrestrained Dragon's Majesty naturally exuded, creating an overwhelming sense of submission that Kaka, whose mind was still at a juvenile stage, didn't possess.

A sweet, slightly magnetic voice, different from the past, resonated in Aiven and Angie's ears:

"How is it?"

The two biologists gazed at the creation before them, akin to the Creator's ultimate work, a perfect fusion of power and grace, with burning fervor in their eyes, and exclaimed in unison:

"Sister, you are... absolutely stunning!"

...

Rumbling...

One thousand kilometers deep into the heart of the sea.

The Black Sea in winter presented a rare spectacle of dense clouds and rolling thunder. A slender giant figure joyously soared within the clouds, and with each flap of wings and sway of tail, the clouds grew denser.

This was Anita, a pure-blooded Giant Dragon who had nearly fully mastered her powers after a month-long adaptation period.

After using Talent Magic: Transformation, her body length approached twenty meters.

Her shimmering body was streamlined like rolling waves, much more slender than when she originally used Activated Skin: Upper Sea Emperor Dragon, without a trace of bulky and awkward lizard-like appearance.

Her entire body of scales resembled dazzling emerald gemstones, and the two sharp dragon horns on her forehead stood upright like spiral long spears. Especially with her dragon pupils transformed into noble and majestic gold-blue, and her dragon horns sharp platinum, just a glance seemed to pierce one's eyes.

Although her body lines were fluid, her combat ability in melee was even stronger.

"Aiven, every breath now feels like I resonate with the world; this feeling is simply wonderful!"

"Of course, at this pace, you should be able to attempt to advance to Titled Knight in no more than a few months.

Even if you just indulge yourself, thanks to your completed Extraordinary Traits, in one or two years, you'll physically mature into a Tier 4 adult Giant Dragon, ready to truly soar!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Sitting on the dragon's back and accompanying Anita in her tests, Aiven didn't hold back his words of praise.

The pure-blooded Giant Dragon fully inherited her bloodline's powers, gaining Talent Magic abilities like Summon Water Tornado, Summon Wind and Rain, Fog Concealment Technique, Water Elementalization, Ice Storm, Illusion Technique, Commanding Water Element, among others.

Additionally, because Aiven helped her expand the Giant's Golden Chain, she also gained two bloodline abilities exclusive to Giants: Gigantification, which doubled her size, and the same as Aiven's Titan Army.

She was now equivalent to a combination of an Elemental School Wizard and an enhanced Great Knight, not exactly a Tier 4 combatant but as strong as one.

Moreover, compared to using Activated Skin, employing this power was no longer burdensome; rather, now in her dragon form, Anita was in her true form, allowing her to maintain it indefinitely if desired.

Her human form also benefitted from this, with physical strength surpassing that of all Great Knights, and even many Titled Knights were far inferior to her.

Combined with the widely recognized reputation that had long echoed across the seas and union nations, she was fully equipped with the prerequisites for a breakthrough.

Suddenly.

"Commander, report, the target has appeared!"

Bess's voice suddenly rang in their ears, making the siblings' eyes flash at the same time, instantly connecting to the Mind Network.

Perhaps due to Anita's wing flaps on the Black Sea West Coast triggering a series of chain reactions across the sea, in the direction deeper within the Black Sea from their location, an enormous fleet bearing the Flame Banner appeared in the hail-laden storm.

The fleet's periphery bent light, making it only sporadically visible even in a storm, yet clear enough to allow them to make a judgment.

"They really are coming for us."

"Not just a regular fleet, but they've also dispatched a Legendary Battleship, they must hold us in high regard."

Through careful observation by the Seagull Elf hovering above, aside from that Legendary Battleship shimmering with spiritual light, although there were quite a few Great Knights within the fleet, none posed a serious threat to them.

As the war intensity rose, even quasi-Legendary Battleships and Peak Grand Knights had become somewhat inadequate.

Further reconnaissance by the Seagull revealed a "familiar face," someone they had previously encountered in the Clock Tower, the peak Grand Knight wielding the Holy Sword: Leivodin, serving as Knight Commander of the Volcano Knight Order.

Apparently, a Holy Knight with combat power comparable to Tier 4, along with the Thorny Fire already positioned in the New Continent, were their greatest reliance.

In an instant.

A bold idea simultaneously emerged in both siblings' minds:

"Sister (Aiven), how about... we just here..."

They roughly estimated that it should take the fleet another ten days of voyage to reach the New Continent, meaning that before the peak combat powers from both sides could converge, this would be the fleet's weakest point!

If they could... take them out one by one here...

Just as they were feeling a reckless urge to implement this bold idea.

Whoosh——

A streak of black mist suddenly emerged from thin air, transforming into an extremely ordinary-looking slim old man, who abruptly looked up into the sky.

Bang!

With just one glance, the Seagull Elf, made up of energy and spirit 30,000 meters above, instantly shattered.

Just as their Adventurer's Blood was boiling, and the siblings felt as if they were about to seize the heavens, their hearts chilled instantly:

"Great Wizard! Formidable enemy!"

"A tough battle is inevitable; let's head back first!"
