Chapter 624 Heavenly Returning Dragon, Silver Dragon

"Another one?"

Ero looked at the unknown dragon slowly rising in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

What exactly is inside Gui'er's belly that it can hold so many rivers?
Moreover, the scenes are completely different, one moment a dark cave and the next a dense forest mountain peak, which is just too strange no matter how you look at it.

This is no ordinary belly; it needs a strong punch!

Wait a minute, would a heavy punch really be enough to break through this place? Thinking about it that way, there's still a lot of uncertainty involved.

To keep his mind clear, Erro stopped thinking about this mess and instead focused some of his energy on fighting the active abyss within him, while concentrating most of his attention on the Heavenly Returning Dragon in front of him.

Just then, Tenkai Ryu revealed its full form.

Black mist, a cloud of black mixed with a bewitching purple, suddenly spread across this dense forest, blotting out the sky and the light in the entire valley began to distort and collapse.

Even the bright sunlight was covered by this purplish-black cloud of unknown composition, creating a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

The once tranquil, even leisurely, forest suddenly became eerie and sinister due to the appearance of the black mist, as if a terrifying monster might leap out from the darkest depths of the forest at any moment, making people involuntarily tense, and all their senses were amplified to the maximum by the sense of oppression they felt.

Even the Heavenly Returning Dragon was completely hidden in the mist.

But this black mist is not simple.

Erro was cleaning the abyss off his body. It was like a leech clinging to him, and he could only try to peel it off little by little. If the amount was small, he should have finished cleaning it off by now.

However, the area hit by Midil's laser cannon was too large and too bright, and because of its super strong attack power, it penetrated the Abyss deep into Ero's marrow.

This deep black is not so easy to remove!

However, Ero did have a temporary solution.

His extraordinary control over his body allowed him to forcefully grow denser flesh and blood in the eroded parts of his body. On the surface, his body appeared unchanged, but inside, thick walls of flesh and blood had already accumulated in the injured areas.

This approach is only effective in the early stages of infection and cannot break through the abyss in the short term!

The magic he had accumulated over the years constantly washed over the abyss, weakening it continuously. In addition, the golden dragon's adaptability allowed it to constantly adapt to the abyss, all of which protected the safety of his body.

Looking at it this way, Erro's health bar is unusually long, to an unbelievable degree, and it even has self-healing. Even a Bleeding Fader that hasn't been weakened would have to fight it for quite a while.

If there are no other factors interfering, and given some time, Erro can force the Abyss out of his body on his own. The contact time is short, and with his formidable strength, the Abyss will not cause him much damage.

If this were a game, the Abyss would be equivalent to applying a negative status effect of continuous damage to his health bar, but his own automatic regeneration makes up for this.

But to put it another way, which is more favorable to the Sien Dungeon, the Abyss has disabled Ero's auto-regeneration.

Of all the creatures that have ever entered the Sien Dungeon, the Ero is the first to possess such strong resistance to the abyss.

"Ho-"

Surrounded by thick black mist, Erro abandoned his playful attitude and took a deep breath to aid his recovery.

His breath was like a whale swallowing a long river; naturally, the black mist surrounding him was drawn into his body.

"Um!?"

Old Dragon sensed something was wrong in an instant. With a hiss, all the pores on his body began to squeeze out air, trying to expel the mist he had just inhaled.

Much of the black mist was expelled, but a significant amount remained inside the body, and what's worse...
"This is... some kind of powder?"

He grabbed the dissipating black mist, and saw that his palm was covered with dark, powdery substances.

The powder in his hand was what made up this black mist!

It seems that it was sprayed from the dragon that day.

He immediately felt something strange in his palm, and a feeling of irritation flashed through his mind!

"Roar!"

Ero instinctively sensed that this thing was definitely not a good thing and immediately roared to the sky. His overflowing wind elemental magic gathered into a storm around him, blowing away the black powder that dared to approach him.

However, this level of dispersion is quickly replenished compared to the black fog that almost covered the entire forest valley.

When I transform into a true dragon, I will be able to unleash a destructive storm.

As soon as Ero's thoughts reached this point, his body reacted, his muscles swelled, his bones changed, and an ancient aura emanated from him, as if he were transforming into a more powerful life form.

Enveloped in black mist, a golden dragon emerges. This strikingly contrasting scene would surely be popular, and it's the kind of image the SkyCraft strategy team would use as the cover of their guides to attract attention.

However, the golden dragon's splendor was completely overshadowed in an instant by another beam of light.

light.

A pure white, warm light, like holy light, suddenly burst forth from the black mist!

That wasn't holy light, but it possessed a divinity that surpassed ordinary holy light.
The light clearly outlined the sacred object that released it within the black mist.

The form of the Heavenly Dragon is fully revealed!
It was a body that needed to be described as robust at all times and in all places, but it displayed a harmonious balance against the backdrop of dragon wings that were even larger than its body.

The horns, usually used to describe the head of a demon, appear like the halo of an angel on the body of the Celestial Dragon.

Those eyes gleamed with a rationality completely different from Midil's, like a calm lake. This was the first time I had seen a dragon with such rational eyes in the Sien Dungeon.

But when Ero's image was reflected in its pupils, the calm lake was rippled by the falling meteorite, and it let out a loud roar, announcing the arrival of its king, who occupied a high ecological position!
"Wow, it's beautiful."

Even while transforming, Erro still showered the beautiful sight before him with unreserved praise.

However, having been a womanizer in his youth, he now dares not fall in love. The reason is...
He doesn't seem to be able to tell the gender of the Heavenly Dragon!

Wait, does the other party really have a gender distinction?

In typical legends, if a character descends from the sky in a dark environment carrying holy light, the next description will always be "the light dispels the darkness," and so on. In fact, Ero thought so too, and he was already imagining the scene that would follow.

However, a sudden, strong alarm from his intuition forced him to abandon this thought, because—

"boom!!!"

The moment the Heavenly Returning Dragon appeared, the black mist surrounding Erro exploded!

At this moment, a dark purple flame erupted violently, and this terrifying power shook the heavens and the earth, as if a powerful magnetic field had triggered a magnitude 50 earthquake!
The entire valley was leveled in an instant, and that's perhaps not even the most impressive depiction of it.

Before the smoke of battle had cleared, a golden dragon broke through the flying debris and roared as it slammed its sharp claws onto the body of the Heavenly Returning Dragon!
Two roars of dragons, their anger fully amplified, rang out simultaneously here.

Amidst the explosion, Ero transformed from human form into a complete dragon form. At this moment, its size was no less than that of the Celestial Dragon. Its golden body combined agility and strength, and its two-legged dragon body was in no way inferior to that of a four-legged dragon in terms of power. Its legendary aura burst forth without reservation.

He was injured in the explosion, the extent of which is unknown, but his rapid physical recovery effectively concealed his injuries and made him appear more dignified.

Only the abyss on his body surface distorted this pure golden color; pitch-black mud clung tightly to his right abdomen, shimmering with an evil light.

That's not all. In the explosion, he inhaled too much black powder without warning, and his pupils were now showing signs of turning red. A sense of unease welled up in his heart, causing him to rush towards Tianhuilong before his injuries had fully healed.

"Ow!"

Ero's claws tore through the chest of the Celestial Dragon. The Celestial Dragon's wings gripped Ero's body tightly, pulling it back and forth. It spewed out a purple-black explosive ball of light from its mouth. Ero, in turn, fired a bright white laser at Ero. The two forces collided and produced a violent roar!

The two colossal creatures fought in a primitive way, as if transporting one back to the prehistoric era of giant beasts vying for supremacy, where there were no fancy combat techniques or magic, only pure beatings.

The Ero Rain Dragons engaged in a fierce battle, as if a territorial dispute had been triggered. They fought back and forth, and for a time it was impossible to tell which side was at a disadvantage.

The scene was filled with splattered blood and flying scales, a truly gruesome slaughterhouse.

Ordinary adventurers simply cannot achieve such visual effects; this is a feat only dragons, and especially a clan leader like Ero, can accomplish!

But Erro felt that something was wrong with his current state.

He felt the rage gradually taking over his mind, attacking his consciousness, while his life force was being diminished.

A voice seemed to be telling him that he had contracted some kind of disease, and if he didn't seize the time to attack and unleash his ferocity, he would be killed by this disease!
Therefore, influenced by both mania and instinct, Erro unleashed a berserk power he had not used for a long time.

His upper body was now bulging with muscles, making him look like a furious golden lion covered in scales, pinning Tianhuilong down and beating him wildly!
Now he doesn't look like a dragon at all; all that's left is his ferocity.

However, after only a few punches, he was overturned by the immense force of the Heavenly Dragon's wings and arms, and this time he was the one pinned down, and he began to withstand the terrifying damage from his opponent.

If no external force intervenes, this battle could last for a very long time!
Ero realized this, and not wanting to waste his strength in a long and drawn-out battle, he simply unleashed his deeper power.

His already golden body grew even larger at a visible speed, and at this moment he had reached a level close to that of a berserk dragon. Tianhui Dragon looked to be half a body length shorter than him!

Tianhuilong also unleashed its full power, voluntarily entering a berserk dragon state, frantically spewing out compressed breath that blasted Ero's chest open!

This breath contained a high concentration of the Mad Dragon Virus, and Erro's eyes instantly turned mad the moment he was hit!
He raised his swollen arm high, and with indescribable power and the white light from his mouth, he descended upon the Heavenly Dragon!

The feeling of impact came through the blow; this strike, powerful enough to crush the Imperial Palace, had indeed landed on Tianhuilong!
Even Ero, whose mind was being eroded, smiled, ready to admire the masterpiece created by his attack.

As his gaze fell upon the body of the Heavenly Returning Dragon, he was met with yet another explosive sphere of light, condensed with the Mad Dragon Virus.

"boom!"

He was blasted away by the impact, his face now bearing severe injuries that were rapidly healing.

However, when he turned around again, Tianhuilong was gone.

Everything seemed like an illusion created by a mirage; there was nothing in front of him, until the illusion vanished.

The deep forests and valleys that had been razed to the ground by the explosion have vanished, and the scorching sun has completely disappeared.

Suddenly, it got dark.

"Where is this again?"

Erro's voice became deep and aggressive, and several high-level calming spells flashed across his body, making his eyes appear somewhat clearer.

His body was slowly adapting to the frenzy brought on by the Mad Dragon virus, but the loss of vitality still existed.

He now suffers from two troublesome negative statuses: the Abyss and the Mad Dragon Virus. Even so, he still looks energetic and in good spirits.

That's the vitality of a dragon; it's really hard to kill.

The surrounding environment has now changed from forest valleys to ruins of buildings. It is not hard to tell from the remaining ruins that this place was once a prosperous place, with broken castles everywhere.

The pale silver moon hung high in the sky, like the eyes of a god watching over the world.

The current situation cannot be explained by the fact that Guior is a glutton who has swallowed a bunch of dragons and scenes; he may have seen a ghost.

"But I felt rather relaxed."

Putting aside the manic frenzy brought on by the Mad Dragon Virus, Erro carefully recalled the two battles he had just experienced, and found himself still savoring the memories and wanting more.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such formidable enemies, and they're all dragons. What era are they from?"

"Possessing such abilities, one is definitely not some unknown nobody." The pitch-black Midil and the radiant Sky Returning Dragon each possessed unique and captivating characteristics.

They would be considered high-profile celebrities with great looks even within the Dragon Clan!

Even though it's hard to tell whether either of them is male or female, which prevents Erro from feeling romantic feelings, just admiring their good looks is enough to make one feel comfortable, and fighting with them would be even more enjoyable.

He didn't care much about his negative state, or rather, he did care but couldn't find a way to get rid of it for the time being, so he simply ignored it to relieve his troubles.

Ero now looked around, searching for signs of a new enemy.

Based on his previous experience, he'll definitely encounter new enemies now that he's changed the scene.

There might be a next time after this one, and it will all be a short stop, just to prevent him from playing a full game.

He felt this method was very bad.

Because this really hooked him.

If he gets itchy hands and wants to fight again in the future, he might actually come to the Sien Dungeon.

"No, this is clearly a conspiracy by the Sien Dungeon, I absolutely cannot fall for it!"

He shook his head violently and muttered to himself, "Let's see how strong the third opponent that Saine picked for me is. If he's not as good as the first two, then I'm going to curse him."

A red "butterfly" suddenly flew past him.

Erro felt a slight abnormality on his body, and when he looked again, he saw that the insect had bitten him.

He casually swatted the insect called "Mosquito," but just then, more Mosquitoes flew in from afar. He raised his head and, following their scent, saw his third opponent.

It was a silver knight standing proudly beneath the bright moon.

【Primordial Silver Dragon】

Its body looks a little more slender than the Heavenly Returning Dragon, but that's just the right size.

Its entire body is covered in silvery-white armor, which gleams with a metallic sheen under the moonlight. Its horns are adorned with a touch of dull gold, while its dual halberds gleam with a soothing blue.

These elements combined resemble a knight in silver armor with a blue cloak!
Ero's first reaction upon seeing him was...
"Another handsome guy has arrived."

There was a hint of speechlessness in his tone. He had clearly come to the dungeon to communicate with Guior and check on Meilong.

How come all of them are handsome guys?

Erro looked down at his glittering golden appearance and suddenly sighed. This was the first time he felt that his appearance looked so tacky.

"Damn it, they're all acting so stylish, aren't they?"

Seeing the Primal Silver Dragon, which looked like a knight king overlooking the world and had the noble air of a knight, Erro stopped suppressing the Mad Dragon Virus on his body. His eyes were filled with madness, and he pounced like a giant golden lion.

The Silver Dragon's steel-like wings instantly formed a protective shield in front of it, effectively blocking the heavy attack. The wings covering its entire body were as indestructible as a knight's shield.

As its wings spread and shields dispersed, the wings pierced forward in the blink of an eye, much like a knight's lance, with the sharp bone spikes at the tip resembling the gleaming spearhead!

Ero used his claws to protect himself and tried to use his wings as a shield, but the sudden thrust pierced through his wings!

No, it wasn't pierced by the sharp spikes on the wings, but by the opponent's even sharper tail!

The real spear belongs to someone else!
"interesting!"

Ero responded with a scorching breath, and the Silver Dragon once again raised its wing shield to completely block it, then used its tail as a spear to thrust out the moment its wings unfolded!

It was a classic attack pattern, but combined with its unpredictable speed, Erro actually failed to block it this time!

Oh, it was a shield thrust.

At this moment, Erro felt as if he were not fighting a dragon, but rather a giant wielding a weapon.

This novel feeling fueled his interest even more, but in his excitement, a stinging sensation came from his abdomen, which was being eroded by the abyss.

"Damn it, you're interfering with my battle!"

After several rounds of clashes, both sides gained and lost.

His initial thoughts were forgotten, and Erro charged towards the Knight King once again. With a wave of his hand, wind magic wrapped around the surrounding ruins, forming two meat grinder-like tornadoes that attacked the Silver Dragon from both sides.

He then launched a simple and unadorned blow at the opponent's wide-open chest.

This is a very simple tactic: use the tornado to disperse the Silver Dragon's wings that it uses for defense, so that it can attack the opponent's weak points that are not defended in one go!
Faced with this seemingly open and calculated tactic, Jue Yinlong's choice was—

It let out a sharp roar, its body flashing red light, and a bloody aura seemed to permeate the surroundings.

The red grubs suddenly appeared and pounced on the Silver Dragon. The moment they made contact, a powerful airflow erupted from the Silver Dragon, instantly scattering the two tornadoes!

Erro exclaimed "Whoa!" in a surprised tone.

Suddenly, the Silver Dragon changed its form.

It had flowing red hairs on its chest, but those were actually the appearance of parasites.

Not only its chest, but also its claws and other parts were covered with grubs. Its wings were originally the same color, but as it roared again, its wings turned into red wings that were almost indistinguishable from those of the grubs!
The Primal Silver Dragon leaped into the third stage, with a red chest and red wings!
The noble knight was stained with blood at this moment, making even his silver armor look eerie.

Despite their completely different appearances, Erro momentarily mistook the other person for a vampire.

"Okay, I'll come too!"

Erro let out a cry, and scales grew on his body, making him look more majestic, but it didn't achieve the same transformation effect as the Silver Dragon.

He became more and more excited as the battle progressed. Several consecutive battles rekindled his fighting spirit, which had been dormant for years. He selectively ignored the effects of his physical condition and launched his strongest attack on the Silver Dragon with the most robust body among the bipedal dragons!

"Watch me win this time! I definitely won't just take half the bet this time!"

After a while.

Erro admitted that he had spoken a little too loudly.

At this moment, he looked somewhat exhausted and was panting heavily. His golden scales were covered in wounds, and even his recovery speed had slowed down considerably.

The marks of the abyss deepened, and the frenzy brought on by the Mad Dragon Virus made him unable to make rational judgments, leading to a series of mistakes in battle.

What's even more deadly is that the Silver Dragon has a fourth stage.

Not only were the wings and breasts red, but this time the wings had completely changed color, emitting a chilling crimson.

The silver armor was shrouded in black mist, and the knight had completely transformed into a raging beast, a vampire that should be roaming under the moonlight!
Blood and qi are severely corrosive!
The transformation brings a significant boost to abilities and the unlocking of certain moves.

For example, a certain infamous deadly eleven-hit combo.

"Missing the shot"

Ero was already showing signs of fatigue due to the effects of his illness, and his attacks were no longer able to hit the Silver Dragon.

The opponent has now entered a superb state, unleashing a deadly combination of eleven consecutive strikes!
That was an unparalleled move formed by the condensation of the essence of all the previous moves!

Even if Ero relied on his physical strength to withstand the attacks, he would still suffer serious injuries. Whenever he tried to take advantage of the opponent's brief gap in attack, the Silver Dragon would turn into a cloud of black mist on the spot and then instantly appear in Ero's blind spot to launch a combo attack.

The red and black body, the scattered gnawing insects, the figure transformed into black mist—everything about it resembled a real vampire!
Ero now has to admit that he has truly come to a predicament.

I never thought that the Abyss and the Mad Dragon Virus would have such a big impact on me. Why do I feel so weak all over, as if all my energy has been drained away?
On the contrary, Jueyinlong seemed to get stronger and more energetic as the fight went on.

Watching the Silver Dragon unleash its final strike of an eleven-hit combo, a crimson light wave covering the entire arena, Erro gritted his teeth, resisting his exhaustion, and threw a punch.

Even he himself felt that the punch was light and airy, and had no killing power at all.

Without a doubt, he was hit head-on by the light wave and his body crashed to the ground.

After ending his frenzied combo, the Silver Dragon on the opposite side also knelt down, panting, his body trembling as if he were in great pain.

This should have been a perfect opportunity to attack, but Erro couldn't get up.

It was at this moment that he noticed the grubs flying from behind him, and then he discovered something that made him both laugh and cry.

His back was crawling with parasites, which were constantly sucking away his vital energy.

Whether it was the abyss or the Dragon Madness that impaired his judgment, he failed to notice anything throughout the entire battle.

The presence of the parasites made him more ferocious in battle, and his attack power did increase for a short period of time.

However, the abyss, the Mad Dragon Virus, and the Gnawing Worms seemed to have produced a strange chemical reaction. Before Erro's body could enjoy the benefits of the berserk state induced by the Gnawing Worms, it quickly entered a period of exhaustion.

Ero is truly unique in possessing all three qualities.

"I"

He pounded the ground and said indignantly:

"It will definitely not happen again next time."

This is clearly a classic case of failure on first encounter. Once he understands the mechanics, he'll never mess it up again!

Exhaustion washed over him. He could stay awake by fighting back, but the battle had truly worn him out, and the various strange and bizarre negative effects were particularly mentally exhausting.

For a fleeting moment, he closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in that chaotic space.

The negative physical symptoms seemed to have completely disappeared, but the intense fatigue still lingered, though it was being eliminated by the gradually recovering body working at full speed.

Resting for an hour or two should allow you to fully recover.

At that moment, a light shone from the chaos, and many images flashed before Ero's eyes.

Those were images of various dragons, each lasting only a brief moment.

Midil, the Heavenly Returning Dragon, and the Silver Dragon, which had already been fought, were ranked at the top. The ones that appeared later were all giant dragons that Ero had never met before, but which had captivated him.

Lance Sands, Storm Dragon, Nergigante, Iceborne
He wanted to fight each and every one of them, having completely forgotten his original purpose when he first came to this Sien dungeon.

It was at this moment that Erro, looking at the chaotic space around him, made a guess about his previous experience that he thought was very reasonable.

"Could it be that these dragons come from Guior's memories?"

This is his own guess.

The Sien Dungeon bears no responsibility for this.
