Chapter 2789 – Dragon’s Might

In a cave on the southwestern side of the Ghostfire Hills…

After Crimson Billow sent the Infant Dragon’s coordinates, Shi Feng had quickly gathered everyone . Now, all 128 members of the team were sneaking deeper into the cave .

“The flames seem to be getting stronger and stronger,” Yu Luo said worriedly when she sensed her Stamina and Concentration depleting at a quicker rate . “Moreover, the burning sensation is also growing stronger, the deeper we go . At this rate, I’m afraid the burning sensation will grow so strong that we won’t be able to focus during the battle . ”

“Indeed . The burning sensation here is getting worse . ” Wind Chaser nodded in agreement . “Under this burning sensation, I’m afraid ordinary Refinement Realm experts won’t be able to exhibit combat standards at the Refinement Realm . ”

Previously, the illusory flames merely ate at his Stamina and Concentration . However, he now felt as if his whole body was scorching . Although the pain was subtle, it would still impact the performance of people with weak minds .

Combat techniques, Skills, and Spells required precision control . Even a slight deviation could result in a massive difference in the combat power one could exhibit .

After observing the environment, Lionheart suggested to Shi Feng, “Brother Black Flame, this cave is indeed extraordinary . I think our best option is to take the fight out of the cave . Otherwise, we’ll have difficulty exerting our strength . ”

“I’m afraid that won’t do . ” Shaking his head, Shi Feng said with certainty, “We must finish the Infant Dragon in this cave . Moreover, this is most likely our only chance . Outside this cave, we’ll have trouble even touching the Infant Dragon . ”

Dragons were the rulers of the sky . On paper, fighting the Infant Dragon outside the cave might seem to be to their team’s advantage . However, doing so would actually place their team at a disadvantage . This was especially true for the team’s Tier 3 players . Without the help of special Skills, Tier 3 players couldn’t fly by themselves . Hence, if they fought the Infant Dragon outside, the team’s Tier 3 members would get sidelined .

As for utilizing the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship to fight the Infant Dragon, that was simply a joke .

Against a Tier 4 Infant Dragon, even an Advanced Flying Ship wouldn’t last more than three or four hits . In fact, it wouldn’t be strange if the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship fell after just one attack . After all, the Flying Ship was merely capable of withstanding the attacks of ordinary Tier 4 Mythic monsters . Its defenses would crumble instantly before a Tier 5 attack .

Shortly afterward, Shi Feng and the others came across Crimson Billow, hiding underneath a rock .

At present, though, Crimson Billow had a wilted expression on her face .

“What happened?” Lionheart asked strangely when he saw Crimson Billow’s condition .

“It’s nothing . ” Shaking her head, Crimson Billow smiled bitterly and said, “I’m just wondering whether we can really win against that Infant Dragon . ”

“Although it is an Infant Dragon, our team isn’t a pushover, either . How would we know we can’t win if we don’t give it a try?” Blood Blade said confidently as he looked at Crimson Billow’s defeated expression . “Don’t forget that we have nine Tier 4 players this time . That Infant Dragon is also only at Tier 4 . ”

However, after Blood Blade finished speaking, the cavern at the end of the road appeared in front of everyone . And a creature with a pale golden body over 100 meters long entered their sight .

[Infant Golden Dragon) (Dragon, Mythic)

Level 140

HP 112,000,000,000

“How is this possible?!”

Everyone gasped involuntarily when they saw the Infant Dragon’s statistics . Even Lifeless Thorn and Solitary Nine, who had seen a Half-step Demon King before, were astonished .

The Infant Golden Dragon’s stifling aura aside, just its HP of 112 billion was already plenty mind-boggling

With 112 billion HP, the Infant Dragon would recover 2 . 24 billion HP every five seconds, or roughly 400 million HP every second . Even assuming each of their Tier 4 players could cause 50 million damage per second, after excluding the two Tier 4 healers, they could deal only around 350 million damage per second with the remaining seven Tier 4 players . Moreover, this was all under the premise that the Infant Dragon didn’t possess a powerful Defense and wouldn’t put up any resistance .

Not to mention, the Infant Dragon before them was part of the Golden Dragon tribe . Its Bloodline was of a much higher purity than ordinary Dragons’ . Among the Dragon race, the Golden Dragons’ Bloodline was second only to Divine Dragons . “It’s no wonder they say Dragons are invincible among existences of the same tier . With such HP, even if we can survive this Infant Dragon’s attacks, I doubt we can actually kill it . ” Wind Chaser couldn’t help feeling shaken .

Although HP wasn’t everything, it could still provide an intuitive gauge of an existence’s general strength .

With how much HP the Infant Dragon possessed, it was easy to imagine how terrifying its Basic Attributes were . They were definitely at least two or three times higher than those of the average Superior Mythic monster of the same level .

What did that mean?

With an attack from a Superior Mythic monster of the same level, a Tier 4 player would still receive significant damage even if they merely defended themself . However, if a Tier 4 player tried defending against one of the Infant Golden Dragon’s attacks, they would be fortunate to retain a scrap of HP to keep themself alive . If they were unlucky, they would be one-shotted .

In other words, if their team wished to fight the Infant Golden Dragon, they couldn’t allow even a graze from it . Otherwise, lives would be lost .

At this moment, Lionheart and the other Skyflare executives finally understood why Shi Feng didn’t assign healers to any of the Tier 3 combat squadrons .

After all, Tier 3 players would be no different from ants in the upcoming battle . They were insignificant existences that would disappear upon coming into contact with even the slightest shockwave . Hence, there was naturally no need to assign healers to them .

An Infant Golden Dragon? Shi Feng also smiled bitterly when he saw the mountain-like Dragon before him . No wonder this quest was evaluated at the Inferior Mythic rank .

This Tier 4 Infant Golden Dragon’s combat power reached the Tier 5 Intermediate rank . Even Frobero in his heyday wouldn’t be a match for this Infant Dragon . In other words, the Infant Dragon simply wasn’t an existence Tier 4 players could hope to confront .

Possibly, only Tier 4 experts wielding Legendary Weapons and geared in Legendary Equipment could hope to defeat the Infant Golden Dragon . Otherwise, the best option for players coming across this Infant Dragon was to obey their instincts and flee immediately . “Brother Black Flame . ” At this time, Lionheart couldn’t help but look at Shi Feng and shake his head . “Although I don’t want to say it, I’m afraid there really is no hope of killing this Infant Golden Dragon . ”

After seeing the Infant Golden Dragon for himself, he finally understood that the records in books weren’t entirely trustworthy . After all, the Infant Dragon before him was many times more terrifying than what was described in the library books he read . It simply wasn’t an existence Tier 4 players could hope to fight .

At the very least, it is absolutely impossible for their present selves . Most likely, only Tier 4 NPCs would have a glimmer of hope . “No, that’s not necessarily true,” Shi Feng said, shaking his head . A hint of determination appearing in his eyes, he continued, “We’re not exactly out of options . It’s just that we’ll need to gamble . ”

Killing this Tier 4 Infant Golden Dragon was imperative . However, it wasn’t just for the sake of completing his Inferior Mythic Quest, but because he couldn’t continue staying in the ancient God’s Domain .

After all, his initial goal in visiting the Earthfall Secret Land was simply to acquire the necessary resources for constructing the Small Mobile Fortress .

Now that he had achieved his goal, he couldn’t remain here, as there were still many things he needed to attend to in the modern God’s Domain .

Meanwhile, killing the Infant Dragon before him was his best chance to attract the world’s attention and get the world to banish him from the ancient God’s Domain .

“Gamble?” Lionheart was slightly surprised by Shi Feng’s words . He simply couldn’t see how they could possibly defeat the Infant Dragon before them .

“I will start chanting an incantation in a moment, and it will most likely cause quite a commotion . So, I will need you to erect a magic barrier now to prevent the Infant Dragon from noticing it,” Shi Feng said, taking a deep breath . “As for the subsequent battle, I will need you, Commander Lionheart, to act as support . Both Yu Luo and Fated Fern will be tasked with healing you . Nine, you’ll protect the healer squadron . As for the healer squadron, use everything you have to heal my summoned creature . Do not stop for even a moment . ”

“Summoned creature?”

Lionheart and the others were confused by Shi Feng’s words . They found it hard to imagine that any summoned creature could stop the Infant Golden Dragon for even a moment . Despite their doubts, everyone still obeyed Shi Feng’s commands .

The next moment, over a hundred people each took out a Magic Array Scroll from their bags and instantly erected a barrier to isolate the tunnel from the cavern . With this magic barrier present, the Infant Golden Dragon wouldn’t detect anything they did inside the barrier even if it was awake right now .

“Brother Black Flame, everything is ready! You can begin whenever you want!” Lionheart said . Looking at the Advanced Magic Array, he couldn’t help feeling a little heartache . However, to avoid disturbing the Infant Golden Dragon, they had no choice but to use it .

Meanwhile, after Shi Feng personally verified that everything was set up correctly, he took out the Bible of Darkness and began chanting an incantation .

Originally, he had not planned to use the Bible of Darkness . After all, the cost of using it at Tier 4 was far too great . He estimated that after a few more uses, his soul would get devoured by the Power of Darkness .

However, if he wished to slay the Infant Golden Dragon now, he could only take the risk .

Immediately after Shi Feng began chanting, the Mana inside the barrier gave off a bone-chilling sensation—the complete opposite of the burning sensation it gave off previously .

Before anyone could react to the change, the barrier’s interior suddenly went dark . Everyone could feel endless loneliness, coldness, and despair coming from the darkness around them . Standing in this dark environment didn’t feel the slightest bit better than standing in the Infant Dragon’s presence .

As Shi Feng continued incanting, the Infant Golden Dragon slumbering outside the barrier suddenly opened its eyes as if startled awake . Its massive eyes then looked directly at the barrier-enveloped tunnel vigilantly .

“How is this possible?!” Fated Fern, who was hosting the magic barrier, was stunned by this development .

The Advanced Magic Array they used, Spatial Wall, could thoroughly isolate an area from the outside world . Even if a large explosion went off inside the barrier, nobody in the outside world should be able to notice it .

Nonetheless, the Infant Dragon had clearly noticed them .

“What a despicable dark energy . ” Looking at the empty tunnel before it, the Infant Golden Dragon bellowed, “It seems you humans have fallen as well! To think you would actually come seeking death together with a Demon!” The Infant Dragon’s bellow instantly extinguished the Advanced Magic Barrier like a storm blowing out a candle . Simultaneously, the figures of Shi Feng and the others appeared before the Infant Dragon . “Brother Black Flame?” Seeing that the Infant Dragon had already stood up, Lionheart raised his shield anxiously . He then sent a sidelong glance at Shi Feng and asked, “Are you still not done?”

The power of the Dragon before them far exceeded his expectations . Normally, even Mythic monsters couldn’t destroy the Spatial Wall so easily, yet the Infant Dragon had accomplished this feat with just one roar .

He simply didn’t dare imagine how powerful an actual attack from the Infant Dragon would be .

“I’m done! I made it just in time!” Shi Feng said, a smile appearing on his pale face . As soon as Shi Feng finished speaking, a dark void appeared in the cavern’s ceiling . A stone door even larger than the Infant Golden Dragon then fell out of this void . Before the players and Infant Dragon could react to this turn of events, the stone door gradually opened .
