Chapter 53 -56: Torturing the Sea Dragon_1

Lin Xun had just become the underdog when he was detected by the ‘Profane Blood Sun’.

Once the game text appeared, Lin Xun immediately sat up straight in anticipation.

He was ready for action, expecting a few stubborn knights to popup and chase him.

But he waited a while, and no new game text showed up.

“…Ah, it was but a false alarm.”

Lin Xun had a hunch that perhaps the ‘Profane Blood Sun’ hadn’t lost interest in him, and that the stronger connection might suggest it was even more intrigued?

What a queer obsession.

He decided not to fret over the sudden ‘threat note’, and clicked to head south.

[You set off on the road to the south.]

[Upon reaching the end of the road, you gaze at the monstrous object before you…]

[It possesses a body as colossal as a mountain range. At certain decaying and rotting places, its scales are scattered and fallen revealing flesh beneath. Its jaws hold densely packed and curved fangs, its fin-like limbs robust and powerful. Occasionally, it swings its massive tail, causing deep pits in the ground.]

[On sighting you, the ‘Subspecies Sea Dragon’ bellows angrily, opening its putrid, blood-filled mouth, within which a crimson and dangerous glow is brewing!]

[Will you raise your weapon to fight, or choose to turn and flee?]

Flee? You’re joking, right? Just wait, you’ll be kneeling and begging for mercy soon.

Lin Xun chuckled coldly, opened his inventory, and clicked on an item.

[You used the ‘Giant Dragon Orb’!]

[Giant Dragon Orb (item)…After use, it releases a tremendous draconic aura, capable of forcing reptiles, dragonkin, and hybrid dragons, and other such lower creatures from resisting.]

[A horrifying draconic aura sweeps out from around you, circles of invisible force radiating quickly from you as the center.]

[Numerous shards and chunks of debris within the ruins tremble, wobble, and then disintegrate into dust in front of this power.]

[Fear is apparent within the large, vertical eyes of the ‘Subspecies Sea Dragon’, a fear springing from deep within its ancestral veins. The crimson dragon’s breath in its mouth disperses, and its enormous body subtly starts to tremble.]

[It lets out a whimper, and, much like a small dog, lies prostrate, lowering its colossal head in your direction.]

[You understand this is the ‘Subspecies Sea Dragon’ pleading for mercy.]

[Powerful Apostle, what will you do now?]

[1. Spare this pitiful ‘puppy’, maybe it will pay a hefty price for its life.]

[2. Raise your spear, recite the incantation, and unleash a powerful spell to kill it. Under your draconic pressure, it will not resist.]

[3. Being a Bishop, you can attempt to convert it with the church’s Holy Words. Persuade it to abandon its evil ways, and recite the Holy Script daily.]

Lin Xun automatically ignored the first and third options.

He chose the second option without hesitation.

He vividly remembered the time when he was incinerated by a dragon breath.

He’d kill it, collect the loot, and it’s done. No need for all these nuances.

[Vengeful Apostle, you raise your spear, mumbling the incantation in your mouth…]

[The red light flashes…]

[Profane Sunlight directly strikes the Sea Dragon’s massive head, causing blood to splatter everywhere.]

[It whimpers, collapses onto the ground, and dares not move.]

[You raise your spear again…]

[The red light flashes…]

…

[The red light flashes…]

[You have defeated the ‘Subspecies Sea Dragon,’ and your experience points have increased greatly.]

[The power within your Shell is boiling. The Shell of the ‘Apostle of the Yellow Bishop’ has levelled up. Current Shell Level: 18 (+3↑)]

After killing the Sea Dragon boss, his Shell level shot up like a rocket to 18.

[You obtained ‘Nameless Shard of Spirituality’ *1]

[You obtained ‘Subdragon Scale’ (material)]

[You obtained ‘Subdragon Tooth’ (material)]

[You obtained ‘Boiling Subdragon Blood Essence’ (item)]

[You obtained ‘Subspecies Sea Dragon Orb’ (item)]

Five items dropped from the Sea Dragon boss, dazzling Lin Xun.

[You look at the corpse of the Sea Dragon…]

[The Shell of the ‘Subspecies Sea Dragon’, descendants of a giant sea dragon and a large species of fish, their draconic bloodline gradually weakening after many generations of reproduction. Comparing their strength to a true sea dragon, it’s like comparing a molehill to a mountain. It looks terrified, killed by the numerous burn marks all over its body. Compatibility 58 (+35%)]

Lin Xun had seen many monster Shells, and had a fair understanding of Shell compatibility.

His current talent level was too low for him to possess any humanoid Shell and humanoid monster Shell. And the monster Shells with low compatibility, for now, weren’t suitable for possession.

“Maybe if I complete a few more tasks for the organization, they’ll reward me with another Divinity item?”

Lin Xun stroked his chin, thinking it unlikely.

Divinity items were clearly coveted by all apostles. For these rare epic items that everyone wanted, it was obvious that the demand far exceeded the supply.

The organization probably gave it to him because of the black silk thread sister’s help.

He then turned his gaze back to the game text.

As usual, he opened his inventory to check the spoils of battle.

‘Nameless Shard of Spirituality’, after use would give him 500 points of spirituality. He decided to put it away for now, and use it after returning to the library.

Perhaps because he was still at the beginning stages, the creatures had generally lower levels, therefore, the spirituality that dropped seemed to be of lower quality too.

However, the quality of things like equipment, skills, items, and shells were matched with the original difficulty level of this chapter and hadn’t been lowered.

‘Subdragon Scale’ and ‘Subdragon Tooth’ were materials for forging equipment, the quality of which seemed to be much higher than what had been dropped by the hounds.

He had to abandon the blacksmith’s shell for now, but when he had some spare soul strength, he would try forging with the blacksmith’s shell to see if he could produce some cool equipment.

[‘Boiling Subdragon Blood Essence’ (item), within the bubbling and boiling blood essence of a subdragon contains the source of power of a dragon’s breath. After using this item, you can let out a sky-destroying and earth-shattering crimson dragon breath from your mouth at the cost of the death of your Shell.]

Lin Xun’s eyes widened; a human bomb?

He knew the power of the Sea Dragon boss’s dragon breath – it could wipe out even safe houses with one blast. This amount of power was indeed against the heavens.

Owning such a powerful weapon, to use it at the cost of his Shell’s death seemed logical.

The ‘Boiling Subdragon Blood Essence’ was undoubtedly a big kill weapon and could be treated as a powerful trump card.

Lin Xun shifted his gaze to the last piece of loot.

[‘Subspecies Sea Dragon Orb’ (item), a pearl nurtured inside the body of a subdragon. Although far inferior to a Giant Dragon Orb, it does possess unique and unexpected uses. After carrying this item, you can breathe underwater and fight without any hindrance.]

The ‘Sea Dragon Orb’ was probably for underwater usage. He hadn’t encountered any underwater battles yet, perhaps this item would prove useful in the future.

After checking all the loot, Lin Xun continued to explore the road to the south.
