Chapter 534: Volume 13: Sea Rain and Heavenly Wind Chapter 4: Roar of the Hegemon

The dragon tail shot up and down, striking twice consecutively and causing heavy casualties among the jellyfish warriors hiding in the water. Meanwhile, two streams of sword qi, which had been biding their time invisibly, finally rose again. No one could ignore such a sight, especially when their own kind were being slaughtered in such a manner. Even though they knew appearing like this was ill-advised, it seemed there was no choice left.

The blue sword qi once again tore through the water’s surface in a fierce attack from beneath the dragon’s belly, but the Ice Dragon, well-prepared, deftly deflected this sharp strike with its dragon foot. The indestructible sword qi collided with the dragon foot, leaving only a deep imprint. Though the pain was excruciating, it failed to inflict substantial damage on the Ice Dragon.

The dragon’s foot is the hardest part of a dragon’s body, its specially thick keratinous layer fearing no external impact. Even the highest level of human martial arts could only leave a mark.

The Ice Dragon laughed triumphantly with a wide-open mouth, cackling strangely. It had finally forced these two ants into the open. As long as it dealt with these two, even at the cost of a few poisoned arrows, it would kill all those who dared challenge the great Ice Dragon, serving as a warning to those ignorant fools!

The white sword qi also finally reached from afar at this moment. The dazzling sword shadow emitted a strange silver light, and as it neared the dragon’s body, it suddenly split into three sword shadows, elusive and resplendent. The Ice Dragon, rushing in with its foot, had not expected the adversary to reveal such an intricate sword technique of mixing illusion with reality upon approach. Caught slightly off guard, its dragon foot forcefully missed its target.

By the time the Ice Dragon realized its error and wanted to twist away, it was too late. The emergent sword qi within the illusion burst forth, penetrating beneath the Ice Dragon’s wing into the ribs. Its thick flesh could not withstand the attack, infused with the highest yuan force. The skyrocketing blood wave, rapidly rotating with the sword qi, became a blood mist filling the sky like a cinnabar flame barrier, stretching across the surface of the water.

"Woo!" For the first time in its life, the Ice Dragon experienced such a grave injury. Its painful roar caused the water surface to ripple with huge waves, and even the depths of the sky seemed to echo with a thunderous resonance. This mournful cry that originated from the depths of the Ice Dragon’s gut spread like a super-sonic wave, fiercely expanding in all directions.

In the moment the dragon roared while blood sprayed from its body, Komer sensed danger. He suddenly kicked a confused Set into the water to hide, and at the same time wrapped Grace tightly behind him, bellowing, "Hold onto me tight! Close off all your senses!"

Dazzled by what she had witnessed, Grace woke from her trance and hurriedly pressed her ample body tightly against Komer’s back. Her cheek also pressed firmly on his back, to avoid the tyrannical roar from the king of the Continent.

Komer quickly sealed off his senses to prevent the Dragon Roar from harming his body, while Mr. Rebry instinctively ducked and hunched over on the corridor floor, evading the direct impact of the Dragon Roar’s sonorous waves. This crafty old fox didn’t want to expend even a sliver of extra energy.

It seemed Solonberg was testing his fighting qi strength. In that moment, his fighting qi suddenly expanded palpably forward, and a magic protective shield also rose in front of him. Confident in his fighting qi strength, he still prepared thoroughly, knowing that the power of a Dragon Roar was no small matter and taking it head-on unprepared was another thing entirely.

The oncoming sonic wave was like a wild gust, causing an odd fluctuation in the entire space. The two light-based Magic Shields seemed to vanish without a trace, as if oblivious to the attack, and the long-prepared Sky Demon Cover finally collided with the assertive wave. The originally invisible Sky Demon Cover suddenly changed, displaying colorful hues before returning to darkness.

The immense pressure of the sonic wave made Komer feel as if he were suffocating; even his chest felt as if it could collapse. The resilient nature of the Sky Demon Cover was undoubtedly on display, giving the impression it might burst any moment. Yet in the end, the force of the sound wave was split by the Sky Demon Cover and howled past both sides of his body. Although he had shut down his senses, Komer could still imagine the immense impact such force would have.

Solonberg’s Magic Shield was even less effective than Komer’s, providing real safety only through the gradually expanding fighting qi. Following his instinct as the Magic Shield dispersed in a blink, Solonberg knew danger was imminent.

He had not anticipated that the force behind the Dragon’s song would be so fierce; his usual defensive Magic Shield was like no more than paper, vanishing without even a chance to react. Clenching his teeth, he released his fighting qi with all his might. There was no need to attack an adversary at this time; he only needed to protect himself. The surging fighting qi met the roaring sonic wave head-on, trembling violently.

When the wild fighting qi collided with the sonic wave, Solonberg felt a tightness in his chest and knew he was injured. Fortunately, he managed to glide backward, circling beautifully above the water and landing gracefully back on the corridor, dissipating the peak of that force, providing him some relief.

The sturdy corridor seemed remarkably frail under the vicious wave of the sonic attack, as its fabric roof was instantly blown away to whereabouts unknown. Even the robust special timber columns withstood the assault, though the surface of the columns appeared to be fissured with fine cracks; it seemed that even wood with magic water properties struggled under the unparalleled impact of a Dragon Roar.

As for the few jellyfish warriors who were standing idly in the water, keeping watch over Komer and his party, they almost simultaneously experienced blood bursting from their orifices. The immense pressure turned their faces a deep purple, and without uttering a sound, they became floating corpses on the water’s surface.

After the Dragon Roar, the Reed Marsh fell into a brief silence, but this calm lasted only for a moment as a wave of arrows swarming up once more proved that the Dragon Roar did not inflict much damage on humans in the water. Set also painfully climbed to his feet at this time. Glancing at the painfully swollen faces of a few jellyfish warriors beside him, and recalling the power of the Dragon Roar he had felt underwater, Set couldn’t help but turn pale with shock.

The two streams of Sword Qi seemed to have been unaffected by the Dragon Roar, twisting and turning around the dragon’s body, one after the other, one to the left and one to the right. However, it was evident that the blue Sword Qi was not as strong or clear as the white Sword Qi; the dragon’s breath had indeed caused damage to the blue Sword Qi.

The enraged Ice Dragon was using the unique Dragon Clan magic of Dragon Blood to stem its bleeding while also taking the opportunity to catch its breath. The Dragon Roar it had just released consumed a considerable amount of its strength, and it knew that the Dragon Roar was not very useful against the strong. However, it found the rage smouldering inside unbearable to suppress without unleashing it through a roar.

However, the injured Ice Dragon seemed even more fierce and wild, with even its agility noticeably enhanced. Perhaps the intense pain stimulated its nerves, making it more responsive. As its massive claws and wings violently beat and its tail whipped about ferociously from time to time, the strong winds and waves that accompanied the occasional fierce breathing made it difficult for the two experts hiding in the Reed Marshes to withstand. Meanwhile, the barrage of arrows launched by the jellyfish archers was much less effective, as the Ice Dragon had deliberately ascended to a higher altitude.

The icy blue eyes of the dragon, now faintly tinged with red due to anger, betrayed its fury. At this moment, the Ice Dragon had forsaken care for its injured body that needed healing. It needed to balance its state of mind with the deaths of these humans.

These contemptible beings had caused it such great pain and loss, an unprecedented experience in its consciousness. To think that it had tolerated these creatures living in the vast Great Swamp Area for so many years was akin to receiving evil for its goodwill. It was determined to exact revenge and let these beings taste the flavour of its vengeful methods!

Confronting the two Sword Qi head-on, the dragon unleashed a wild breath that collided with the white Sword Qi, dispersing it into several strands of white mist. Although it consumed much of its Dragon Power, it was worth it. The dragon slammed its two massive feet together fiercely onto the somewhat dimmed blue Sword Qi, which immediately shattered.

The dragon’s eyes flashed brightly as it finally discovered where the caster of the blue Sword Qi was hiding. Lifting its head abruptly, the dragon’s massive body performed a beautiful aerial spiral and dove quickly downwards. The white Sword Qi, sensing something amiss, quickly reformed and sped towards the dragon’s rib cage, trying a "surround Wei to rescue Zhao" strategy, while the jellyfish archers in the Reed Marsh, after a strange whistling sound, all surfaced and unleashed their full archery might. However, they did not anticipate that the Ice Dragon had already resolved to kill its opponent outright. It thrashed its tail to collide with the white Sword Qi, undisturbed by the relentless rain of arrows, and plummeted like a meteor, aiming straight for the Reed Marsh.

"Lord, it seems that the jellyfish people’s experts will not be able to escape unscathed this time. Even though this Ice Dragon has not fully matured yet, it is not something that one or two individuals who consider themselves outstanding martial artists can subdue. If we don’t make a move, we will just have to wait to collect the corpses of this group of jellyfish people," Rebry said, now standing concentrate behind Komer, watching the breathtaking trial, and clicking his tongue.

"Mr. Rebry, it appears that this Ice Dragon seems to have some fear of the jellyfish archers’ arrows. Logically, these arrows should not be able to cause any substantial harm to an Ice Dragon. Could the arrows be poisoned?" Komer inquired, shaking his head in confusion.

"Poison? Would an Ice Dragon fear poison? Dragons are naturally immune to poison unless it’s some special toxin. However, those toxins would need to be extracted and refined through special magical processes, and I doubt the jellyfish people have reached that level. While there are powerful martial artists among them, there is a difference between martial arts and magic. Apart from a few water-based magic spells related to their own characteristics, they are probably lacking in other areas," Rebry remarked, curling his lip, clearly noticing the absence of any notable magic experts among the jellyfish people. Otherwise, their involvement in this Great War could have changed much.
