The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 695 - 689: The Only Exception

Chapter 695: Chapter 689: The Only Exception

“The worst has come to pass during these troubled times.”

Near Demise Relic, five indistinct figures, all Trainers, looked up at the Twelve Cities Heavenly Circle that had abruptly appeared in the sky.

“Such a terrifying aura from the demon god, relying solely on the twelve Overlords’ Pets to manage the Circle is insufficient; it seems my old bones are likely to be broken here today!”

An old man with white beard, hunched figure, and a visage carrying the twilight of life, as if his days were numbered, lamented.

Upon hearing this, a trace of amusement flashed in the eyes of the other Four Venerates.

Among the Five Venerates, this unrefined old man was the eldest and had managed to outlive the champions of the previous two generations, becoming practically the most long-lived legend in Peony College.

Perhaps by the time their lives reached their natural end, this old fellow who kept talking about his impending death would still be alive.

“Mr. Divot, the resources for the Twelve Cities Deity-Slaying Circle have been fully prepared, and we can activate the Circle at any moment,” said a middle-aged man with an air of aloofness, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Strong as the Five Greats were, compared to a Semi-Fiend, there still lay an insurmountable chasm; without relying on the Twelve Cities Deity-Slaying Circle to limit it, even a deity could not confront a demon god directly.

“No rush, the time has not come yet.” The old man with the white beard waved his hand dismissively, “Behemoth Goldsmith’s prophecy has never been wrong. We need only wait silently and strike at the moment the Seven Definite Dead Demon attempts to break the seal.”

His Innate Talent “Nine Layers of Heavenly Light” could hasten growth, consuming a massive amount of Pet Resources in a short time to elevate twelve Class VII Overlock Pets to Class VIII Legends.

Moreover, with the Four Venerates managing the City Circle Maps, re-enacting the Twelve Cities Deity-Slaying Circle to reseal the demon god should not be an issue.

Of course, there are always uncertainties; to prevent the annihilation caused by demon gods descending into the world, the Federation of Trainer Guild in the Flowery Kingdom has made another preparation.

…

Elsewhere, the Federation of Trainer Guild headquarters.

The core base bristled with sentry posts.

An elder with shoulder decorations of three gold stars amid circling dragons and slightly white hair was making rounds in the study, finally pausing in front of a large screen with frenziedly flashing data.

[Strategic Plan: Chaotic Demon Slaying

Main Type of the Demon Slaying Missile: Chaos

Number of Chaos Stones Loaded: Five

Additional Secondary Types Loaded: Thunder, Fire, Light

Number of Successes in Annihilating Mysterious Power of Demon God: One Thousand Two Hundred; Number of Failures: Three Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty-Nine

Result of this Experiment: Failure

Note: The inclusion of Light Type Pet Resources has significantly increased the power of the Chaos Demon-Slaying Missile, but it has led to an imbalance of the internal chaos, thunder, and fire Arcane Force, substantially reducing the effect of annihilating the mysterious power of demon god.]

The accustomed elder looked around and said, “Everyone, stop your research for a moment.”

At this, several intensely focused staff members frowned in discontent and looked up at their direct superior, the person responsible for the Trainer Guild’s Demon Slaying Missile Strategy, the Deputy Minister of National Defense of the Trainer Guild, and General Maurice Bora of the Five Elements Army.

“A Seven Definite Dead Demon, a half-fiend, has attempted to break the seal in the ancient Relic of Waterland City…”

As Maurice Bora’s voice trailed off, the previously dissatisfied research doctors’ eyes suddenly lit up.

An unkempt researcher with an untrimmed beard blurted out immediately.

“The Asura-M series missiles can break through the demon’s Dragon Body, and coupled with the recently successful analysis of the split-guidance chaos warheads, we can easily deal a severe blow to the Seven Definite Dead Demon.”

“Hold on, the Chaotic Electromagnetic Pulse I modified not only far exceeds the power of the Asura missiles but can also deconstruct the Mystery Power of the demon god at a deeper level and cleanse the heavenly and earthly arcane force.”

Ignoring those researchers who wanted to take the opportunity to test the power of the new missiles, Maurice Bora’s gaze fell upon Dr. Jones, who was the ace of the research institute and was at that moment frowning in deep thought over the Chaotic Annihilation Demon strategy.

He was a handsome and unconstrained young man, not old in age, and the retro style of his wooden glasses frame was particularly eye-catching.

Sensing the attention from his superior, Dr. Jones slowly said, “The research institute has only completed three Chaotic Annihilation Demon missiles, but I do not recommend using them all.”

Maurice Bora was slightly silent.

He understood what Dr. Jones meant. Not to mention that manufacturing a single finished Chaotic Annihilation Demon missile requires a vast amount of pet resources, without the spiritual enlightenment of the original missile, the production of subsequent missiles would need additional complicated processes.

“Missiles can always be remade, but once life is lost, it can never return,” said Maurice Bora as he turned to look in the direction of Waterland City, his eyes resolute.

“Pass my order, lift the seal on the arcane force well, and prepare for the launching of the Chaotic Annihilation Demon missile.”

“As you wish, Minister.”

Dr. Jones smiled lightly without declining again, his hands swiftly entering commands on the virtual screen.

…

Demise Relic.

Scarlet flames poured continuously from Grau’s dragon body, dissolving everything that dared to come near it at a terrifyingly fast rate, including the claws extended by the Death Mystery Dragon.

“Bow down to my power!” bellowed Grau, spewing from his mouth the horrifying flames that disintegrated everything into nothingness.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!”

In the blink of an eye, the formerly fearsome Death Mystery Dragon was mostly dissolved, emitting billowing black smoke.

“Is that all the power you have? Grau hasn’t even started to enjoy himself yet!”

Listening to the rubbish that Grau continuously spouted and glancing once more at the one-sided battle in front of him, David Jones couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Brother Grau was a bit slow-witted at times, there was no doubt about the strength of his combat abilities. Taking care of a Class VII upper-level Calamity should not be an issue.

“I wonder how teacher is doing now?”

David Jones glanced at the surging mystery power emanating from the sealed area, the Divine Zone where the Seven Definite Dead Demon made its presence known.

…

“How interesting, how interesting, you were actually able to dodge the lock-on of Death End! Human, you are worthy of having your name remembered by me,” crooned the Seven Definite Dead Demon in a voice as low as a devil’s, laden with chaos that could in an instant cause a Class VII Overlord to lose their mind and become a crazed, irrational follower.

“So-called Demon God, you even resort to petty tactics to buy time. It seems the strength you can exert now is extremely limited.”

“Tap, tap, tap,” the crisp sound of footsteps echoed.

Lilith Hoyle, completely unharmed, appeared in the vision of the Seven Definite Dead Demon.

Her scattered silver hair, under the influence of an invisible force, burst forth like a waterfall, while her originally beautiful blue eyes quietly shifted to a deep, profound black.

What was once a petite body without much curves, in a matter of moments, matured with alluring curves, a pity they were covered by layers of pitch-black scales, looking fierce yet with a hint of seduction.

However, the Seven Definite Dead Demon ignored all this, his gaze fixed straightforwardly on the eight pet beasts that emitted a strong oppressive force above Lilith Hoyle.

Among these eight pet beasts, six were of a strength similar to the Three-legged Raven and not at all threatening. He could squash them with a little effort, but there was one pet beast that was the sole exception.
