CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER 93, HUNTING THE GOLDEN DRAGON_1

The next morning, Jiang Chen grinded for another day.

He finally reached Level 30.

He equipped the King’s Crown Suit.

[Skill Amplification in progress, amplification successful.]

[Passive Skill: When a skill is released, magical damage is increased by 1000%, physical damage is increased by 1000%.]

After the Passive Skill was amplified, its effect was amplified a hundredfold.

He equipped the Level 30 White Rainbow Sword.

[Skill Amplification in progress, amplification successful.]

[Skill: When attacking, 100% chance to trigger Paralysis Attribute. The higher the target’s level, the lower the chance of triggering this effect... Paralysis duration: 100 seconds.]

He looked at the outrageously amplified attributes.

Paralysis for 100 seconds? What did that even mean?

It was simply a god-slaying weapon! Any Golden Dragon, as long as it was penetrated and paralyzed by Sword Qi, no matter how much health it had, would be killed by Jiang Chen. This was a true Divine Artifact.

For Jiang Chen, the concept of ’chance’ was meaningless.

Jiang Chen took Angelina back to the Eilrus Rift, preparing to hunt the Golden Dragons in the Secret Realm. He brought Angelina along specifically to benefit from her Divine Blessing.

When Angelina heard they would be hunting Golden Dragons in the Secret Realm, she was startled. "We’re really going after the Golden Dragon? Many have gone in and died. Its defensive power is terrifying."

Angelina hesitated. Many teams had entered the Secret Realm only to be killed by the Golden Dragon. Its defensive power was monstrous. Moreover, the fact that it could fly made it a veritable hell for other classes.

No one below the First-stage advancement could defeat a Golden Dragon.

Jiang Chen smiled. "Don’t worry, I’m here!"

"I know you’re powerful, but... I’m scared. Just one Breath of Destruction, and I could be killed."

"Once we’re in, find a place to hide. I’ll deal with the Golden Dragon. Don’t worry about it targeting you. Plus, you have a Resurrection Scroll; even if you die, you can be resurrected."

Angelina rolled her eyes. "Were you planning to hunt the Golden Dragon with me all along?"

...

Initially, that was indeed Jiang Chen’s plan. With Angelina’s Divine Blessing, it would be easier to get equipment drops, possibly even Legendary-level items. And who knew? If his luck was good enough, perhaps even Mythical Equipment!

That would be a huge win.

Turning back with a smile, Jiang Chen said, "We’ve been friends, we are friends, and we will always be friends. If you’re afraid, you don’t have to go."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Then I won’t go."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Okay, then wait for me outside."

Angelina chuckled. "I was just teasing you. Wherever you go, I’ll go. I’ll follow you for the rest of my life; you won’t be able to shake me off. If I die, I die. I still have the Resurrection Scroll anyway."

Without the Resurrection Scroll, Jiang Chen really wouldn’t have wanted to take Angelina on such a dangerous venture; even if he was using her a bit, they were friends.

「Outside the Rutaz Palace Secret Realm.」

Ever since the last incident, very few dared to enter and hunt the Golden Dragon. It was an invincible existence, and no one wanted to die.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. "Ready?"

"Yes."

"Let’s go."

A flash of white light enveloped the two of them, and they instantly disappeared.

Re-entering Rutaz Palace, the familiar scene surrounded him. Jiang Chen said, "Let’s go. Hide when we see the Golden Dragon. You don’t need to follow me."

"Okay, I understand. I’ll stack buffs on you, then you can go hunt the Golden Dragon."

Jiang Chen nodded.

The two passed through the cave and entered the canyon. On the other side of the canyon, Jiang Chen spotted the Golden Dragon soaring high above, its massive figure circling in the air.

Startled, Angelina quickly hid behind a rock.

Angelina stacked buffs on Jiang Chen. He then activated Sky Flashing Mode, instantly appearing in the plaza. The Golden Dragon seemed to notice him, its gaze fixing on the familiar silhouette.

It roared at Jiang Chen...

A torrent of destructive energy, its Breath of Destruction, erupted forth. Jiang Chen used Flash in the Void to dodge the attack. Facing the mighty and invincible Golden Dragon, Jiang Chen dared not be careless; a single blow could end his life.

Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode activated. Three Hundred Sword Auras, following Jiang Chen’s intent, attacked the Golden Dragon, pursuing it like a meteor shower streaking across the sky.

The Golden Dragon’s flight speed was also extremely fast. Seeing the incoming Sword Auras, it regarded them with disdain; these insignificant Sword Auras couldn’t possibly penetrate its defenses.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!...

Three Hundred Sword Auras struck the Golden Dragon.

-11...

-11...

MISS...

MISS...

Suddenly, the airborne Giant Dragon’s body stiffened. It plummeted from the sky, crashing straight to the ground.

Jiang Chen’s face lit up with joy; it had worked!

The higher the target’s level, the lower the probability of triggering the Paralysis Attribute, but Jiang Chen wasn’t afraid. With his Three Hundred Sword Auras, as long as even one Sword Aura successfully paralyzed the Golden Dragon, the effect would last for a full hundred seconds. Within that timeframe, his Three Hundred Sword Auras could strike tens of thousands of times.

Tens of thousands of strikes! As long as one of them re-applied the effect, the paralysis would be refreshed for another 100 seconds.

This made him practically invincible.

The Golden Dragon lay on the ground, assaulted relentlessly by the Three Hundred Sword Auras. They left bloody gashes on its body, but the wounds healed in an instant.

Not only was the Golden Dragon’s defensive power terrifying, but its recovery speed was even more frightening—it was almost ridiculously fast.

Jiang Chen frowned. He knew that if he couldn’t inflict a fatal wound, killing the Golden Dragon would be incredibly difficult.

Originally, Jiang Chen had planned to use the Paralysis Attribute to defeat the Golden Dragon. Only now, facing it directly, did he realize it wasn’t so simple. With its monstrous regeneration, forget a day; even several months of continuous attacks might not be enough to bring it down.

Angelina watched in shock. The Golden Dragon just lay there, allowing Jiang Chen’s Three Hundred Sword Auras to wound it. What’s happening? she wondered, completely bewildered.

Jiang Chen pondered.

To inflict fatal damage, he had to pierce the Giant Dragon’s heart. With a command of his will, Jiang Chen directed the Three Hundred Sword Auras to converge on a single point: the Golden Dragon’s chest.

Each strike left a bloody mark.

Angelina hurried over. "Why isn’t the Golden Dragon moving?"

"I used a special method."

"Doesn’t that mean we have a chance to kill the Golden Dragon?"

Jiang Chen nodded. Under the continuous assault of the Three Hundred Sword Auras, blood streamed from the Giant Dragon’s body. The wound on its chest rapidly expanded before their very eyes.

Thirty Angels stood outside, observing the Rutaz Secret Realm.

"This is the place."

"Huh? It’s open. There’s someone inside!"

"Could someone else have gotten here first?"

"Impossible. This Golden Dragon is very powerful. Even the Dragon Knight Legion isn’t confident in killing it. No one would dare provoke this Golden Dragon."

"Let’s go in together and see what’s going on."

"We can’t miss this opportunity."

The thirty Angels entered.

Passersby discussed among themselves.

"Who just went in?"

"Thirty Angels working together? That looks like the Angel Legion from the Mei Zone’s Union—a very powerful legion, the First Legion of the Mei Zone, in fact."

"Their leader is Anthony from Melsa Academy, an SS-Class Blazing Angel. It’s said that Blazing Angels are ranked first among all Angels."

"It’s them! I know Anthony. He’s one of the top contenders for this upcoming Alliance Tournament."

"They must be here to kill the Golden Dragon, get its equipment, and then make a big splash in the Alliance Tournament, aiming for first place!"

Just as Jiang Chen was focused on finishing off the Golden Dragon, he glanced towards the canyon. His brows furrowed tightly as he saw dozens of winged figures approaching.

How did people get here?
