The Crimson Dragon - Chapter 109

Chapter 109

Editor: Moop

The supreme king, Kuhaku, has been ping-ponged thousands of times for early chapter . Too bad the translator is busy most of the time . It’s only becoming worse with each day . Don’t have your hopes up for next week’s release . -Fwap

Mensal’s apparently a trap . Poggers . -Moop

Claudius’s attacks were fast, but Mensal, who’s on the silver dragon’s back, was faster . To the leShay tribe who have 45 agility, the air was about the same as a solid ladder . Should they imagine it, the air could solidify enough for them to step on it . And so, Mensal was able to quickly leap from the silver dragon’s back and rush towards Claudius, all in midair . At the same time, he took out his two double edged sword from nothingness . Every leShay could use this ability but they have to pull from their life force in order to form energy swords with +10 sharpness . To them, these swords were an extension of their bodies as they didn’t restrict their movements nor slow them down . Each swing with the swords fully displayed their battle prowess and damage-dealing power .

And thus, the leShay tribe was also known by another name: Sword Spirits . They are the elves who wield swords, the true masters of dual-wielding . It was about time Claudius experienced the true power of a leShay . With 45 agility, the damned leShay’s speed was insane . He appeared in front of Claudius in the blink of an eye .

Facing the humongous crimson dragon, Mensal, who stood at 190cm, was a mere angry wasp in front of a towering human . He clenched his hands into fists and started hammering at the crimson dragon’s head . Although his weapon looked small compared to the crimson dragon, it easily sliced through Claudius’s scales as if they were paper– after all, it was a legendary +10 weapon . Claudius, with his relatively high agility, deflected the attacks with the side of his horns . When it collided with the dragon’s horns, Mensal’s sword slid and if he was a normal human, his bones would have shattered into a thousand pieces . Using the impact from the rebound, Mensal flipped himself onto Claudius’s neck .  

The weapon had inflicted a deep groove into Claudius’ horn . His horn was even stronger than gilded gold, but in spite of that, a part had been chipped off from Mensal’s attack . The piece that was cut off, stood taller than a human and had a diameter of 50cm . Fortunately a dragon’s horn doesn’t have any nerves running through it, otherwise, Claudius’s pain would’ve been unbearable . Claudius didn’t even care about the other four dragons . Their dragon spit had no effect on him whatsoever, with the exception of the silver dragon’s ice-cold spit . If they were fighting close range, even with the silver, gold and bronze dragons, all three of them wouldn’t even come close to the crimson dragon in terms of skill . Currently, the sum of their lengths barely equaled Claudius’s . Fighting him would be the same as three kids attacking an adult . Their attacks could only do so much to him .

For Claudius, Mensal was the most troublesome one . He struck Claudius like a saw would slice through wood . Each hit was so fast that Claudius’s blood splattered everywhere . His strong scales couldn’t do anything to stop the blades, instead, his skin and muscles made up for them . Claudius could reach Mensal with his claws but the leShay was so agile that he always dodged any attack . Although the spewing blood looked absolutely terrifying and painful– for Claudius, it was more like a small misshapen wound from a razor . Mensal would need to try much harder if he wanted to kill Claudius .

Claudius’s area of effects already made things difficult for Mensal– had it been any other crimson dragon, he wouldn’t have as much trouble dealing with them . Claudius, on the other hand, had his spell-effectiveness-reduction-aura that disabled Mensal’s unnatural strength . He had to rely on his own body to recover his lost energy . That’s right . Under Claudius’s skill, he lost energy far more quickly than in normal situations . He could easily go for the kill if it was any other dragon . Even a gold dragon couldn’t withstand his barrage of attacks . Under Claudius’s skill, Mensal had used the majority of his strength on destroying his scales and dodging his attacks . It was the first time Mensal started to gasp for air and sweat from the back of his head .  

Claudius then proceeded to light himself on fire . It looked like he was entirely covered in lava . He concentrated his own flames to one area, then released the pressure, creating a huge explosion from his body . The shockwave made the three dragons, who were trying their best to contribute something to the battle, fall backwards . Eliaza was hoping to see Claudius fall from the sky, preferably in chunks .  

Eliaza was guaranteed to be disappointed .

The explosion caused Mensal to jump off the crimson dragon’s back . He couldn’t control the shockwave well enough . The heat from the explosion caused Mensal’s armor to melt and his sword to bend . The explosion had severely damaged Mensal . After the dust from the explosion settled down a bit, Claudius emerged . Even though he looked quite miserable, his fighting spirit had been raised to a whole new level .

“Motherfucker! I don’t even care about my life! I’ll make sure you lot die today!” Most of Claudius’ scales were broken . Underneath the broken scales, flaming blood gushed out like lava, making Claudius look like an active volcano . His “Self Destruct” explosion had dealt more damage to himself than all of Mensal’s attacks combined . His intimidating aura ballooned out even further .

Claudius opened his mouth . The compressed air within his lungs was further compressed by his lung muscles before he shot it out . Mixed with flammable liquid, the air burned vigorously . Due to Claudius’s skills, hot mist columns had begun to form and spread at an insane speed, causing the temperature to rise sharply . Not even Mensal could take on Claudius’s abnormally intense, flaming spit head-on . Neither the Endless Depth nor the Nine Floors of Hell, where the intense heat from raging fires were well known, could compare to his flames . Only the fire elemental’s realm could’ve emulated the same sweltering heat . While the dragons and Mensal were busy dodging his attack, Claudius moved at a speed never seen before . In that moment, the air gave way around the crimson dragon as he swept through the sound waves . That’s right, Claudius had broken the sound barrier .

The resulting sonic boom swept across the land . The carriage horses that had been panicking were now dead . As for the carriages themselves, they had flipped over, completed crushed by the pressure . The bishops inside couldn’t use magic to deflect the sound waves as they were all still inside of Claudius’ spell nullification zone . The effects of the sonic boom were devastating . As the boom billowed out, the dust on the ground swept into a storm . The carriages exploded from the pressure . Despite wearing iron armor, the bishops and holy knights were thrown into the air like dried grass . Mensal couldn’t even get close to Claudius under the effects of the sonic boom . His strength was limited, and unlike Claudius, he couldn’t break the sound barrier . Without further ado, Claudius went straight for Eliaza . Judging from the silver dragon’s scream, Claudius had only swept past her . But the resulting pressure from his movement completely tore apart her wing’s patagium (skin that helps creatures glide) . Given some time, she could easily heal the wound . Unfortunately, she could only helplessly fall, spiraling down to the ground like a spinning top . Even if her flying techniques were outstanding, the damage from Claudius’s continuous waves of sonic booms, combined with having only one functional win, her balance was completely thrown off .

The sky felt as if it had been torn apart . Rolling sonic booms were forming under Claudius’ wings as he propelled himself forward . With his supersonic speed, everything in his wake became a death zone . Claudius began to slow down while simultaneously aiming for Eliaza .
