Chapter 192: Chapter 40 High Voltage Dragon Slayer Technique

Jude noticed the Black Dragon’s gaze falling on him again, but this time, he turned and retreated without engaging in battle.

The order Li Yu had given him was not to engage the Black Dragon in combat, but to use the loud noises produced by activating the Holy Sword to attract its attention.

It was not just him, Onund, who held another Holy Sword on the other side, and the warriors behind them were actually only responsible for this task as well.

Their mission tonight was to cover for the Lizardman Warrior who carried two daggers to approach the Evil Dragon, and they had now perfectly completed their mission.

Then they saw the Lizardman Warrior quickly thrust the daggers into the body of the Black Dragon.

Since there was only a step between them, even the Black Dragon, with its speed, could not possibly dodge this thrust.

Of course, it did not have any intention to dodge either, as it had enough confidence in its own scales.

These scales were as hard as iron and could block most attacks.

And this had been proven countless times in previous battles.

Apart from the huge bed crossbows, which could make it wary, the rest of the attacks were almost like mere tickles to it.

Even the divine weapons that the nobles purchased at great cost could only leave a light white mark on its scales.

This time would be no exception.

Moreover, the two daggers that the lizardman held did not look very sharp at all, so the Black Dragon did not take this attack seriously.

However, when the daggers landed on its body, a miracle occurred!

Ireya saw the Black Dragon’s body suddenly stiffen and it began to tremble continuously.

It could have easily killed the Lizardman Warrior by simply lifting a leg or swinging its tail, but at this moment, it seemed as if it were frozen, maintaining its previous posture and falling to one side without moving.

Even those involved in the dragon slaying tonight were stunned by this eerie scene.

They had just personally experienced how terrifying the power of the giant dragon was; the Sea King Spear was ineffective against it, and mere proximity to it had resulted in the painful deaths and injuries of dozens of people.

Not to mention its scales, which were impervious to blades and spears.

Yet, such a creature, seemingly without any weaknesses, was now subdued by two ordinary-looking daggers.

It was as if a giant had ultimately been defeated by the sting of a bee.

The stark contrast elicited an utterly absurd feeling in many people’s hearts.

Could it be that those daggers were coated with some potent poison? But they hadn’t even broken the skin of the giant dragon!

In the end, everyone could only attribute it to the immense Divine Power contained within.

This Holy Artifact from the Double Rest Sect must have been crafted by the god Saturn himself, because only this could explain why it possessed such terrifying power.

Although Miss Rabbit had witnessed Li Yu performing miracles numerous times before, none of those times had been as shocking as this.

After all, their opponent this time was a giant dragon!

This creature, which had been extinct on the Bratis Continent for three thousand years and existed only in legends, had been wreaking havoc in the western regions, unstoppable by anyone, yet now it had fallen at the hands of Li Yu.

Up until now, the young girl still felt as if she was dreaming.

Perhaps the only one not surprised was Li Yu himself.

This was the dragon hunting tactic he had come up with after seeing those fishermen using electricity by the reservoir.

Initially, Li Yu just wanted to find a way to trap the dragon, considering its astonishing strength and seemingly perfect defense, stunning it with electricity seemed like a good choice.

But then Li Yu thought, since he was already using electricity, why not go a step further and use the electric current to kill it outright.

Previously, he had been troubled by the lack of powerful weapons; after all, modern weapons, such as tanks and missiles, though strong, were not something an individual could come into contact with.

And firearms, due to differing laws in various countries, had significantly varying levels of accessibility, something Li Yu couldn’t figure out, and even if he had the means, he wouldn’t try it.

Because illegal possession of firearms, once caught, starts with at least three years.

But aside from these overt weapons, there was actually a very powerful, easily accessible, and legal weapon present in modern society.

That was electricity.

Although there are many protective measures in place from the production, transportation, to the use of electricity, every year, still many people were injured or even killed by electric shocks.

Moreover, human exploration of weaponizing electricity had started quite early, like the electronic explosive device Li Yu had used before, besides there were electric nets, electric shields, and the famous Taser Guns, among others.

However, these items were mostly used against relatively small targets.

The size of this black dragon surpassed any known creature on Earth, fortunately, Edison had provided an answer to this problem over a hundred years ago.

To demonstrate the dangers of alternating current, Edison had once brought in an elephant named Tobisi, placed it on an iron plate, and electrocuted it to death with stepped-up alternating current, even making a documentary about it.

This method might seem cruel today, but it also proved that as long as the electric current was strong enough, nothing was unkillable by electricity.

And to increase the electric current, one only needed to increase the voltage, which, conveniently, was a simple task.

Li Yu didn’t even need to go to a specialized equipment company to buy a step-up transformer; he could just use high school physics to make one himself.

Simply find a piece of iron core, wind copper wires with different numbers of turns around both ends of the iron core, and by changing the number of turns of the coil, he could easily achieve step-up and step-down.

Li Yu had made a high-voltage pack himself, raising the voltage of a 220v outdoor portable power source to nearly 10kv, and then connected it to a pure iron dagger.

The only issue then was how to get close to the black dragon.

Li Yu had originally hoped to like the Taser Gun, use some equipment to shoot the two daggers out and nail them into the target’s body.

The advantage of doing so was that he wouldn’t need to get too close; however, considering the scales on the dragon’s body and its speed of movement, this method was clearly unfeasible.

Besides this, Li Yu had also considered using step voltage to create an electrified trap, but given the dragon’s alertness, once it sensed something was wrong, it would likely not continue forward.

Moreover, grounding would reduce lethality and increase the risk of collateral damage; after weighing the options, Li Yu still chose the most direct and safest method.

He wrapped the dagger’s handle with several layers of thick insulating tape, held by a Lizardman Warrior wearing insulating rubber boots and gloves, supported by others to create an opportunity for him to get close to the black dragon.

Then touch the dagger to the body of the black dragon.
