This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!-Chapter 31 - 30: Still Too Weak

Enveloped in flames, Mondo’s crimson gaze was fixed solely on the Goblin High Priest.

The flaming giant rod in hand swung wildly, sending goblin warriors flying in terror.

The green blood that burst from their flesh when colliding with the flaming giant rod instantly vaporized and disappeared.

The High Priest retreated swiftly, muttering incantations under his breath, this time with a speed much faster than when he cast the fireball.

A dark light shot from the tip of the staff, moving so fast that Mondo couldn’t dodge it, though Mondo hadn’t even thought about dodging in his current state.

Struck by the dark light, Mondo only felt his body weaken significantly, but compared to his berserk strength exceeding the limit at the moment, the diminished power wasn’t enough for goblin warriors to stop him.

Seeing this, the High Priest’s expression subtly changed. Apparently, he hadn’t expected his Weakness Technique to have such a poor effect on Mondo.

Previously, affected by two Weakness Techniques, Zaku Zameng’s two giant demons couldn’t exert more than a third of their body strength, and were already surrounded and attacked by several big goblin warriors along with dozens of normal goblins, unable to charge out. As time dragged on, Zaku Zameng’s two demons faced being hacked to death when their bodies consumed too much and recovery ability failed.

"This giant demon...." The High Priest’s expression became somewhat twisted, his mind frantic.

Even a Level 4 giant demon should not survive more than half a minute after being struck by his fireball technique, yet this giant demon before him endured the scorching flames for half a minute and still remained vigorous! Even growing fiercer!

What a freak occurrence!!

The Goblin High Priest was unaware that Mondo had received the Power of the Black Dragon Vein, pure dragon vein power granted by a formal contract, not the low-level dragon vein power obtained by random exposure to true dragon breath.

Moreover, by coincidence, among the Five-Colored Dragons, the Black Dragon’s attribute was water.

With the augmentation of water-attribute dragon vein power, Mondo’s fear of flames and acid effects was clearly greatly reduced.

It’s not the High Priest’s fault for not realizing Mondo was a dragon vein creature, after all, Mondo had just acquired the dragon vein power mere days ago, with his body’s dragon transformation traits yet to fully manifest.

The High Priest gritted his teeth, continuing to extract magic power from within, rapidly muttering incantations under his breath. Soon, seven or eight consecutive blood lights shot from the tip of the staff, but this time the targets were not Mondo, but the goblin warriors in front of Mondo.

Hit by the blood lights, the goblin warriors experienced a surge in their aura, their originally weak bodies swelling a large circle as if inflated, and their pupils turned completely blood-red.

Group Low-Level Frenzy Technique!

The effect was to enhance ordinary creatures’ strength, speed, recovery ability, while greatly reducing pain perception.

The side effect was that after the frenzy ended, the weak were likely to die instantly, while the strong would experience a period of frailty.

It was clear, ordinary goblins did not fall within the strong category.

What awaited them was either being torn apart by Mondo or dying immediately after the frenzy ended.

But for the High Priest, this ’deal’ was quite worthwhile.

Faced with Mondo, ordinary goblin warriors were doomed to die anyway, so it was better to make a more useful sacrifice for the tribe.

"If not for the haste, without time to apply the frenzy technique to the big goblin warriors, the outcome wouldn’t be like this now..." the High Priest thought bitterly.

He hadn’t expected the fully armed big goblin warriors would be struck into a dying state by Mondo in one blow.

Regarding the few big goblin warriors on the other side of the battlefield?

Far water cannot quench nearby thirst, the High Priest couldn’t afford to waste his precious magic power.

"Hmm?" The High Priest suddenly sneered, under his command signal, a dozen goblin warriors looked towards the east direction.

A two-meter-tall Black-scaled Kobold was rapidly rushing towards this side.

As a wise caster, he had a clear grasp of the entire situation before launching an attack, and had a good grasp of the strengths among the enemies.

The reason the High Priest chose to approach Mondo and keep away from Shiji wasn’t a rash decision.

His plan was to use the fireball technique to counter the giant demon, first kill the big monster Mondo in a single strike, then cooperate with the goblin troops to surround the dragon vein kobold, whose agility seemed maximized, then easily use magic-like skills to finish him off.

The plan was such, but obviously the process proved somewhat convoluted.

Shiji swiftly flashed by, his foot stepping directly on a goblin warrior’s head, using the reaction force to charge forward more than ten meters, while the goblin warrior he stepped on had his neck disappear, his head and body fused, dead without closing his eyes.

With a few flickers, he traversed over a hundred meters in a short time, but suddenly Shiji’s expression turned grim.

He had been noticed by that goblin spellcaster.

This guy, even while being relentlessly pursued and beaten by Mondo, could still keep an eye on the movement behind him... no, from the very beginning, he had a portion of his attention on it, constantly observing it carefully during his battle with Mondo.

Realizing this, Shiji gripped the demon beast bone staff in his hand even tighter.

Casters, they are indeed a group of cautious and terrifying individuals. In the Black Teeth Tribe where Shiji originally belonged, the dogman leader of the Black Teeth Tribe was a Dragon Vein Mage who had gained the Power of the Black Dragon Vein.

Thinking of the terror of the former tribal chief, Shiji felt even more burdened.

Sure enough, as soon as Shiji approached that Goblin High Priest, the other side dispatched more than a dozen goblin warriors, and with a wave of the magic staff, seven or eight beams of blood light directly fell among the goblin group.

Their aura surged, their bodies swelled, and their strength and speed significantly increased.

For a moment, Shiji, who intended to launch a sneak attack from behind, was also intercepted.

Although Shiji could still easily kill these goblin warriors who were drained by the Frenzy Skill, with so many closing in, he would certainly need to put in quite the effort to resolve it.

And in this brief time, it was enough for that Goblin High Priest to once again unleash the terrifying Fireball Technique.

Mondo could withstand the Fireball Technique and continue doggedly attacking the enemy, but he couldn’t.

Although he also possessed his master’s Dragon Vein Power and wasn’t suppressed, after all, he didn’t have Mondo’s terrifying recovery ability.

Just as Shiji was desperately slaughtering the goblin warriors recklessly charging at him, growing increasingly anxious, a massive shadow loomed over the goblin camp.

The goblins and dogmen covered by the shadow all paused, distractedly glancing up.

A Black Dragon.

A massive Black Dragon with a muscle density even more exaggerated than a Red Dragon, with a wingspan exceeding sixteen meters!

The Black Dragon’s dark yellow vertical Dragon Eyes coldly surveyed the battlefield below, and in the next moment, it locked onto a target, diving straight toward the location of the Goblin High Priest.

Frighteningly fast.

The Goblin High Priest’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly casting a Protective Magic over himself.

And right after he cast the Protective Magic, with a bang, Udi’s Dragon Claw slammed him into the ground. As for the goblin warriors surrounding the High Priest, with a casual flap of the Dragon Wings, they were all sent flying over ten meters away like tumbling gourds.

Udi extended his Dragon Claw into the earth, grabbing the Goblin High Priest, whose bones had been broken countless times, in his grasp.

Before leaving, Udi glanced at Mondo, still engulfed in flames.

This guy had been burned alive by the flames for several minutes, his internal energy nearly depleted, and he could no longer sustain his body’s recovery a few more times.

If they were half a minute later, that big oaf would surely have turned into a heap of ashes.

This is the fearsome nature of magic.

For those who cannot control magic power, the effects of magic are almost unsolvable for them. (Note: The "Plant Control" magic-like skill possessed by Forest Giant Demons is a talent ability, it does not imply they can control magic power.)

After all, he was a major general under his command, so Udi certainly couldn’t let him die in such a humiliating manner.

With a shake of the Dragon Wings, he flew to the other side, grabbing him with the Dragon Claw as well.

With another flap of the Dragon Wings, he rose into the air, flying without any hesitation towards Black Blood Valley.

And down below, Shiji also received his master’s command through the spiritual connection.

"Handle the aftermath, then assimilate the Goblin Tribe and relocate them all to Black Blood Valley."

"As you command, Master."

Shiji responded through the spiritual connection.

With a few casual strikes of the demon beast bone staff, he crushed the remaining frenzied goblins, then leaped to a high point, his cold gaze sweeping over the goblins who had stopped fighting and were now trembling in place after their master had captured the High Priest.

The driving force behind the goblins’ battle was evidently that Goblin Spellcaster. Now that the spellcaster had been captured, this group of generally timid and somewhat cowardly low-level demons had no will to resist.

The takeover proceeded very smoothly.

Yet, in Shiji’s heart, it felt like there was a fire burning.

"I am still too weak..." Shiji muttered to himself, tightly gripping the demon beast bone staff in his hand.
