Chapter 492 The Nine Gods Within the Black Dragon Demon Stone
Ais successfully beheaded the black dragon!
The scene was transmitted throughout the world through the divine mirror, shocking all the gods, the people, and even all the spectators. That girl was only LV.6!
LV.6 is already among the best of the first-level adventurers, extremely rare in the entire world, but it also depends on the enemy she faces: the black dragon that destroyed Zeus, Hera's Familia, and devoured Roy and Alphia!
Normally, a level 6 adventurer wouldn't even be enough to fill a black dragon's teeth; they would be instantly killed.
Such impressive results are thanks to Ais's skill "Revenge Princess"—the strongest damage output against monsters in the Nether, bar none!
That blonde beauty is practically a dragon-slaying expert!
Besides Ais's unique abilities, the cover provided by the others was invaluable. Under Finn's command, they launched a preemptive strike! Hundreds of cannons from the sky battleships bombarded the black dragon, while Ota and Leon, along with hundreds of adventurers, held it back at close range. Riveria, Hedin, Ryu, and others used magic to bombard the dragon, keeping it occupied.
"Sword Maiden Ais Wallenstein lives up to her name!"
"Lady Rivera, our princess!"
"The pride of the little people—Finn the Hero!"
"The strongest demi-human—'The Mighty' Otto!"
This victory also inspired people all over the world—people from different countries and big cities, elves living in the forest, dwarves in wild tribes—who felt their blood boil as they looked at the scene in the mirror.
The hero candidates standing on that battlefield are the most outstanding figures of each race!
The gods watched the battle intently, their faces flushed with excitement, shouting and cheering as they witnessed a great feat that would save the world.
In contrast,
Finn and his allies, located on the battlefield, were far less optimistic than the others.
Unlike other monsters, the black dragon whose head had been severed by Ais did not fall. Its massive body stood firm on the desolate land, and its aura did not diminish in the slightest; in fact, it became even more terrifying.
Finn pointed his spear at the black dragon and said in a deep voice, "It's not over yet! Everyone, continue the attack!"
Roy and Alphia also managed to behead the black dragon, but they failed to truly kill it; the black dragon's vitality was unimaginably strong.
Needless to say, the offensive has never stopped.
Ais severed the black dragon's head, and in that instant, Ota, Leon, and the others launched an attack on the black dragon, unleashing hundreds of attacks that overwhelmed it.
Tiona's double blades, Allen's silver spear, Hegny's black sword, Bert's kicks—attacks from all directions and from different positions covered the black dragon.
hum!hum!hum!
At that moment, a heart-stopping buzzing sound rang out, the groans of space itself unable to bear the weight.
The black dragon erupted with a deep, abyss-like dark purple light. Centered on its massive body, concentric rings of dark purple energy spread out silently and rapidly, distorting light wherever they passed.
The air seemed to solidify into a heavy block of lead!
The gravity barrier unfolded, and a dark purple semi-circular light shield instantly covered the entire battlefield.
"Ugh—!"
'
All allied adventurers within the gravity barrier, regardless of their strength, felt as if they had been struck by billions of heavy mountains, their bodies sinking.
The terrifying pressure not only acts on the surface of the body, but also on every bone, every organ, and even the cellular level, squeezing them to the point of almost bursting.
Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!
Even top-tier powerhouses like Ota and Leon turned pale under the crushing force, their bones cracking and popping.
They gritted their teeth, their faces flushed red, veins bulging on their foreheads and necks like writhing dragons, resisting with all their might, barely managing not to fall to the ground, but still being forced to kneel on one knee by this astonishing force, the ground beneath their knees cracking.
"I can't move!"
Many of the less skilled adventurers collapsed to the ground, unable to even lift a finger!
"This is the Black Dragon's gravity magic—no, it's power—" Finn gritted his teeth, using his spear to support his body.
According to the gods, the ability to exert gravity does not belong to the black dragon, but is the power of a certain god, an ability that can even cover the entire world!
Now it covers the entire northern land!
All that met everyone's eyes was a suffocating dark purple glow, permeated with an atmosphere of despair.
call out!
Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the severed dragon head transformed into a swirling, ominous, viscous black mist.
The black mist, as if it were alive, surged back towards the severed neck of the black dragon's towering body.
laugh!laugh!laugh!
The churning black mist writhed and condensed violently at the severed neck, countless fine black buds intertwining and transforming into scales.
Bones, muscles, and wings.
In just a few breaths!
All the wounds on the black dragon's body were completely healed, and its ferocious dragon head, unchanged from before, was raised high. In its molten gold vertical pupils, a hint of a beast's mockery and disdain for its prey was revealed.
"————"
The adventurers who witnessed this scene froze, their mouths slightly open but unable to utter a sound. A chilling coldness seeped from the depths of their bones, as if to freeze the blood in their entire bodies.
"Immortality?!" Aisha exclaimed angrily.
"No, there is no such thing as immortality in the world, and the same goes for monsters. As long as we find a way to truly kill them!" Finn said.
Everyone was shocked.
As adventurers who spend years roaming dungeons, they know all too well where the monsters' weaknesses lie.
Magic Stone!
As long as the magic stone inside a monster is destroyed, no matter how powerful the monster is, it will be reduced to ashes.
But the Black Dragon will not give the Orario Alliance another chance.
The gravity barrier was just the first move. The black dragon's molten gold vertical pupil coldly swept over the adventurers who were like ants. Every figure reflected in the pupil seemed to be swallowed by some kind of terrifying power. The power originating from the level of rules descended silently.
An indescribable sense of emptiness swept over all the adventurers locked onto by that eye.
"Well?!"
Ota, Leon, Grace, Riveria, Ais—all the adventurers' expressions changed. The surging, roaring power within them, like rivers and seas, vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
An unprecedented and profound sense of weakness and powerlessness enveloped their bodies.
"Is this what it feels like to have one's grace sealed?" Leon murmured. The feeling of suddenly going from an invincible adventurer to an ordinary person was terrifying.
The other people reacted in much the same way as Leon.
The sheer magnitude of the difference can drive you crazy!
The crowd's faces were filled with both horror and disbelief. The black dragon was able to directly seal the blessings bestowed upon adventurers by the gods, making it their nemesis.
"Roy was victimized by such despicable means—"
Liu Yin gritted her teeth, her small face filled with anger. Even if Roy, who had awakened spatial magic, couldn't defeat the black dragon, escaping from here would definitely not be a problem. According to their speculation, it must be that the black dragon's sealing grace had some kind of effect on Roy, causing him to be unable to use magic.
"If you can't seal Roy's power, how could someone like you possibly defeat him?!" Ryu glared angrily at the black dragon.
As he spoke, Liu forced himself to stand up.
Click!
A crisp sound of bones cracking rang out from Ryu's body. The black dragon's gravity barrier was still in place, and she, whose grace was sealed, was using her mortal body to resist the terrifying pressure.
Click! Click! Click!
Tiony, Tiona, Alyssa, and Lily—the girls of the Astrea Familia—stood up one after another, and a series of sharp, cracking sounds, so dense they made one's scalp crawl, were the mournful cries emanating from their bones.
Doing nothing might alleviate the pressure of the barrier, but they were unwilling to bow down to the black dragon.
"Drink it all!"
Ota, Leon, Grace, and Allen, among others, also relied on their incredible willpower to stand up, even as their skin and blood vessels ruptured, turning them into bloody messes.
How could they lie on the ground in front of the enemy!
As if in response to their beliefs, raindrops shimmering with starlight fell from the sky.
These "rains of light" are not gifts from the gods, but rather the result of human effort and all-out struggle!
"Release the unlocking drug!"
Just as the black dragon began to seal away the grace, at the same instant, Hedin shouted loudly at the eye crystal.
The sealing power has no effect on the Sky Battleship; the powerful resistance inherent in the quasi-god-class ship is sufficient to withstand the Black Dragon's gravity barrier.
The operators above received Hedin's instructions to spray out a large quantity of the stored unlocking agent.
How could Orario possibly ignore the information that Roy and Alphia risked their lives for!
The item to unlock this power is—the Unlock Potion!
Throughout the year, the gods of Orario were constantly dragged out by their own clan members to "donate blood for free." Using the divine blood as material, mages like Fels, who possessed "mysterious" development abilities, produced a large number of unlocking potions.
This is the moment we've been waiting for!
The light rain from the unlocking potion fell on everyone, and in less than ten seconds, their divine grace was restored.
Seeing the adventurers' aura rising steadily, the black dragon was slightly taken aback, seemingly unable to understand what had happened, and why its invincible power had failed.
Its keen intuition allowed it to spot the sky warship, and its pupils emitted a chilling aura.
Before the adventurers could recover...
The black dragon attacked first, opening its blood-red maw and unleashing a destructive torrent that changed the color of the entire sky, turning it crimson like blood, violent and ferocious.
"Avoid!"
Seeing the approaching dragon's breath, its destructive aura chilling to the bone, the warship commander, a former senior teacher in the school district, screamed hysterically.
The sky warship tilted, trying to dodge the black dragon's breath, but it was too late.
The dragon's breath swept across the warship's left side, tearing through the armor.
"The port side of the ship was damaged, covering 30% of its surface area!"
"Energy Container 7 is severely damaged!"
"Captain, what are the next instructions?"
The spaceship shuddered violently, its internal alarms flashed red, and the danger of death loomed close. Engineers and operators screamed in terror.
But soon they found that things were going surprisingly well.
If hit head-on by the Black Dragon's breath, even a LV.9 adventurer would be instantly burned to ashes, while the Sky Battleship would only suffer about 15% damage.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The adventurers below wouldn't just stand by and watch the sky warship be attacked. Without even having time to chant spells, they all drew the Hestia Familia's Crozo Demon Sword, aimed it at the black dragon in mid-air, and unleashed their magic.
Flames, lightning, and icy currents—countless magical attacks shot into the sky like meteors, crashing towards the black dragon.
There was no need to aim at all; the black dragon's massive body was like a live target, and any shot could hit its mark. The explosion caused a blinding flash of light.
That being said, these demonic swords inflicted negligible damage on the black dragon, leaving it virtually unscathed.
But attracting the black dragon's attention is enough!
Finn boomed, "All troops, charge!"
The adventurers, having regained their strength, grabbed their weapons and charged forward fearlessly, a mighty and unstoppable force.
The black dragon lowered its head slightly, looking at the hundreds of "ants" rushing towards it. With a flap of its wings, a gale howled, instantly blowing away more than half of the adventurers.
The screams were incessant.
Ota, Finn, Tiona, Algana, Baje, Anya, and Alexie were among the few who were able to get close to the Black Dragon, but they were all swatted away by the Black Dragon, leaving them covered in wounds and looking like bloodied figures.
The difference in ability was too great. The black dragon's movements were as fast as lightning. By the time they reacted, a black shadow had flashed before their eyes, and the attack had already arrived. The terrifying heavy blow shattered their armor, and they were sent flying.
Only the thick-skinned Ota, despite his body being covered in wounds, still stood at the very front.
The adventurers' resolve was transmitted to all corners of the world through the divine mirror, reaching the hearts of everyone.
The whole world seemed to fall silent.
People clasped their arms to their chests and prayed anxiously for the Orario alliance to defeat the Black Dragon.
"Jormungandr!"
As Tione finished chanting, dark purple light ropes coiled around the black dragon's legs like venomous snakes.
But when the magic effect was activated, the black dragon did not freeze. Instead, Tione's face turned pale and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Stop right there!"
Tione's mind flashed with Roy's image, her eyes glistening with tears. She gripped the light rope tightly and roared hoarsely at the black dragon. Due to excessive mental energy consumption, the pressure inside her head increased dramatically, and blood flowed from her seven orifices.
It's almost impossible for her, at LV.7, to control a black dragon that's over LV.10.
But the next moment, something unbelievable happened: the black dragon's body froze in mid-air.
Everyone was speechless upon seeing this.
"These girls are outrageous!" Grace exclaimed. It goes without saying how perverted Roy is, but the girls around him are no ordinary people either.
"What binds us to the end is not the rope that is merely for show, but the love of the Amazonian girl for the miraculous boy!" Hegney said, his voice brimming with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
Controlling the black dragon, even for just one second, is extremely important, allowing the others to seize the opportunity to act.
"Wes Windheim!"
Rivera raised her staff, "Great Elf," and completed the incantation at lightning speed, unleashing a third-tier attack spell, her strongest weapon.
Its power far surpassed that of the first-tier "Ecstasy of Fimbulb Winter" and the second-tier "Higher Sword of Victory," directly draining Riveria's mental energy.
The immense magical power transformed into a large, emerald-green light wave, turning the entire sky green. It spread wildly, continuously bombarding the black dragon's body, shattering its thick scales and causing foul-smelling blood to gush out.
After the black dragon crashed, even more attacks followed.
"Glenize Fromo!"
The cat-man transformed into a shimmering war chariot, accumulating speed and converting it into earth-shattering destructive power. Like a streak of light, it flashed across the earth, crashing into the black dragon and violently shaking its mountain-like body.
"Afterglow!"
Leon treated this technique like a basic attack, unleashing a series of slashes. The sword's edge, capable of tearing apart cities, ripped through the exposed flesh of the black dragon, leaving wounds so deep they revealed the bone.
Ota, Ais, Ryu, and Alexie followed closely behind, overwhelming the black dragon.
Under the watchful eyes of countless hopeful souls.
The massive sky warship aimed at the black dragon, and its huge main cannon at the bow finally completed its final charge. The dark muzzle lit up with a heat that devoured everything and symbolized ultimate annihilation.
He poured all the stored energy into it, consuming magic stones worth tens of billions of Fali!
"emission!!!"
With a heart-wrenching roar.
A thick and terrifying torrent of scorching white energy burst forth from the main cannon of the sky warship, piercing through space, tearing apart the viscous pressure of the gravity barrier, and with the power to reduce all things to nothingness, it bombarded the black dragon's mountain-like body without reservation.
There was no deafening explosion.
The Black Dragon's absolute defense, strong enough to withstand the attack of a LV.9 adventurer, melted away instantly like thin snow under the sun in the face of this annihilating torrent!
The tough dragon scales, taut flesh, and robust bones—the very substances that make up the black dragon—were mercilessly decomposed in that extreme, scorching white torrent.
When the destructive torrent subsides.
The black dragon vanished without a trace!
A massive, round magic stone, with a radius exceeding ten meters and shimmering with a deep purple luster reminiscent of cosmic nebulae, crashed heavily onto the desolate battlefield.
"Did it work?"
Adventurers on the desolate land, and people all over the world, had the same question on their minds.
Only the many gods suddenly stood up, staring intently at the scene in the divine mirror, their pupils dilating as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.
Inside the black dragon's magic stone, several blurry figures could be vaguely seen.
"One, two, three—eight, nine?!"
Loki counted the number of figures, and with each additional figure, the corner of her mouth twitched violently.
The images displayed in the divine mirror gradually became clearer, and one could even see the faces of the gods inside the magic stone.
"Coeus, Crios, Hyperion, Iapetus, Theia, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, and Tethys, it was you who were swallowed up—" Astraea's expression was complicated.
