Chapter 55: The Sleeping Dragon Awoken by Foolish Humans
Five seconds is a very short time. With Diaz’s absolute advantage, the chances of Ye Xi and the others winning are indeed very low.
Far away at the starting point, the Dragon Slayer felt something was amiss and immediately shouted towards the sky.
“Replace Neruko and let me take the stage.”
“Okay.” Without further ado, Leilindor immediately agreed to the Dragon Slayer’s request. At the same time, Neruko, who was at the very center of the battlefield, suddenly disappeared, replaced by the appearance of the Dragon Slayer.
“Hahaha, Dragon Slayer! You’ve come too! Perfect, I’ll take you all out in one fell swoop, saving me the trouble of hunting you down one by one!”
Diaz’s laughter became even more maniacal. Upon hearing this, beads of sweat formed on Tyr’s forehead in the distance.
Although I hate to say it, at this moment, Diaz really seems like the antagonist.
The key is that Diaz is too into role-playing. This was just supposed to be a test, but Diaz has turned it into a showdown between good and evil, with him acting like a big boss fighting a group of women.
Tyr feels that if he doesn’t end this farce soon, the conflicts will only escalate instead of diminishing.
Sensing the aura of the Dragon Slayer in the distance, Claude couldn’t help but be slightly startled. He quickly understood and also spoke towards the sky.
“Swap me with Kagura Xiaoqi.”
“Okay.” Leilindor’s voice sounded somewhat muffled, giving the impression that he was half asleep.
When Claude appeared where Kagura Xiaoqi had been, he happened to notice Tyr rushing towards the battlefield at full speed.
“Tyr, what are you doing here?” Claude’s implication was that it had been half a minute since you entered the battlefield, so why haven’t you arrived yet?
“Ah~ Just got blasted away by Neruko’s magic~ Well, anyway, that’s how it went,” Tyr mumbled, vaguely finding an excuse, then asked again.
””And you?”
“I’ve swapped with Kagura Xiaoqi. I’m here as reinforcement now.”
As Claude spoke, his speed surged once again under his feet, with Tyr effortlessly keeping pace.
Suddenly, at the center of the forest, the devastated battlefield once again shone brightly!
Hymns rose one after another at this moment, entering the ears of Tyr and Claude.
The two exchanged a glance. This was the essence of Emperor Diaz’s judgment array, a five-second technique.
Moreover, it was the reaction after activating “Sanctioned Saint”!
If nothing unexpected happens, this strike should have already determined the outcome!
As Claude and Tyr burst out of the forest, what they saw was Emperor Diaz without his golden light, along with the rather disheveled Dragon Slayer and Ye Xi.
“Damiyala is out,” explained Leilindor’s voice, clarifying the reason for Damiyala’s disappearance. This was expected by everyone and didn’t come as much of a surprise.
“Well done. To actually withstand the ‘Sanctioned Saint,’ I must commend you,” gasped Diaz. His abdomen continued to bleed, causing his face to pale slightly. However, Tyr couldn’t help but wonder, “You’re injured like this. Is it necessary to speak in such a tone? Aren’t you tired?”
When Dragon Slayer and Ye Xi saw the arrival of Tyr and Claude, their expressions couldn’t help but darken.
Because dealing with just Emperor Diaz alone is already extremely tricky, and both Claude and Tyr have individually defeated Emperor Diaz before. If these two were to join forces, the chances of victory would become even slimmer.
Tyr looked at the situation and couldn’t help but ask Claude beside him.
“So, it looks like we’ve won now, right?”
“…” Claude remained silent. It was difficult to make a judgment here, and Yuehai hadn’t appeared yet. He didn’t know what attitude to adopt toward Yuehai.
Whether it was Emperor Diaz’s mockery or Tyr’s thoughtless words, Dragon Slayer’s body trembled slightly.
What a terrible day.
“At first, it was Tyr, the bastard, harassing Yuehai, and then escaping from under my nose,” Dragon Slayer muttered at this moment. Her hair obscured her expression, making it hard for anyone to see clearly.
“And then chased to Class Nine and harassed by a creepy old man.”
“What’s even more absurd is having to participate in this garbage test.”
“And then got a lesson from Tyr’s lackeys.”
“Feeling upset, reaching the extreme.”
Martial arts, the coldness in Dragon Slayer’s heart could no longer suppress the anger building up inside him.
And in this moment, Dragon Slayer raised his head, his eyes almost bloodshot as he looked towards Tyr.
“This anger, I must release it!”
Instinctively, Ye Xi unhesitatingly compressed the space and fled towards the distance, like a small animal sensing danger, constantly fleeing towards what it deemed the safest place to escape for its life.
At this moment, neither Diaz nor Claude understood Dragon Slayer’s current state, only Tyr seemed to have some inkling of what was happening, but it was already too late.
Dragon Slayer extended his left hand and slowly removed the ring from his right pinky finger.
A muffled roar resonated from within Dragon Slayer’s body, shaking like an explosion, and his physique also changed. If Dragon Slayer appeared to be around twelve or thirteen years old before, now he seemed to have grown two years older out of thin air.
The clothes he wore seemed to have shrunk a bit, but since his body hadn’t undergone a particularly significant change, they didn’t burst open. Perhaps Dragon Slayer anticipated this situation and had already chosen a size larger when getting his school uniform.
But now was not the time to contemplate this issue, because at the same moment Dragon Slayer completed his transformation, he locked his senses onto the three of them.
The immense, abyssal-like perception only gave rise to one thought in the minds of Claude and his companions.
“Run!”
There was absolutely no chance of winning. It was no longer a question of whether they could join forces to fight. It was like trying to confront a fireball spell cast by a mage with three eggs. Could joining forces solve this problem?
Moreover, according to what Tyr knew, during the battle with the ogre king, Dragon Slayer was indeed forced to remove the ring, but he wasn’t this powerful.
Dragon Slayer noticed the hesitation in the three individuals and couldn’t help but look on coldly.
“Want to escape? I’ll give you the chance to escape, but only once.”
At this moment, Ye Xi had already fled the forest.
With those words, Dragon Slayer’s feet left the ground, slowly rising into the air. This was a capability only achievable by those at the level of a celestial-level powerhouse, using combat energy to float in mid-air—a step towards the heavens!
Dragon Slayer continued to ascend, this action giving Tyr and his companions an ominous premonition. Without a word, they immediately dispersed and fled in all directions. Especially Diaz, who moments ago was fiercely aggressive, but now, after the excitement had passed, reverted to his usual refined and gentle demeanor. This contrast always made Tyr suspect if Diaz was suffering from some sort of split personality.
Three individuals, three directions, fleeing even faster than before.
By now, Dragon Slayer had ascended to high altitude, looking down at the three individuals below who appeared as tiny as ants. She revealed a sinister smile.
“Turn them all into ashes.”
Martial arts!
Dragon Slayer’s hands clasped together with all ten fingers, forming a large fist. The deep blue-black combat energy gathered in circles around her hands, absorbing not only the energy within her body but also drawing in the energy from the surrounding space.
Tyr and his companions looked up at the ripples reversing towards Dragon Slayer, their minds swaying involuntarily.
It wasn’t until Tyr and the others were about to flee into the forest that Dragon Slayer ceased absorbing combat energy.
But instead, she slowly raised her fist above her head, then she took a deep breath.
As if enjoying the fresh air in the high sky, then, like the reaction of a slumbering dragon disturbed by foolish humans, Dragon Slayer let out a thunderous roar.
The Hammer of the Heart!
As if it were the end of the world, a deep blue energy descends upon the earth.
The brilliance surpassed the sound, the earth shattered faster than sound, and Tyr and others, covered by destruction, disappeared into the light without realizing it.
Then, there was a sound like the judgment of the world being struck.
As vision gradually returned, what appeared before everyone’s eyes was an abyss replacing the entire forest.
The Bottomless Abyss.
