Chapter 571, The Blade Armour Dragon King’s Guardian Stance

“That… was that left behind by the Divine Being?” Lu Fan stood dazed for a long while before finally speaking.

 

The voice of the Devouring Dragon King transmitted from his mind, explaining, “Of course not. That is the Blade Armour Dragon King!”

 

“That’s the Blade Armour Dragon King!?” Lu Fan was even more astonished, because this small mountain composed of blades and iron chains looked nothing like a Dragon by any measure.

 

Seeing Lu Fan’s surprise, the Devouring Dragon King continued, “What, you find that shocking?”

 

“Giant Dragons have many different Clans, formed by their numerous different species. In the Dragon Domain, us Dragons can be subdivided into more than thirty types, and this is not even counting unique variants, as well as existences like your Holy Bone Corpse Dragon King, that met the criteria to evolve into a Giant Dragon. In short, you Humans understand far too little about the Dragon Race. You believe all Giant Dragons are the same, only able to breathe Elemental Breaths and kill enemies with their physical bodies? How naïve. Various species possess different traits. Although the Blade Armour Dragon King’s form and characteristics are special without a doubt, she is definitely a Dragon.”

 

Lu Fan nodded with partial understanding.

 

Upon reflection, he realised this made sense.

 

Originally, when he became a Dragon Tamer, he also thought all Pet Dragons would be like Xiao Ye and Bao Bao. But later, particularly unique Pet Dragons like Xiao Cui, Xing Chen, Ye Sha, and Ji Ji appeared one after another. This gave Lu Fan a new perspective on the Dragon Race.

 

It turned out that the Dragon Race had so many different existences. They did not simply rely on Dragon Language Magic and Physical Combat to kill their enemies. Each possessed their own unique characteristics.

 

Even Ji Ji, was composed entirely of poison. Yet, she was still alive. Having this mountain of blades also be a Dragon King did not seem particularly strange in comparison.

 

However, despite thinking this way, seeing this mountain-like collection of iron chains with countless blades protruding from within still made it difficult for Lu Fan to imagine what kind of being this Dragon King truly was.

 

Moreover, this Blade Armour Dragon King stood here without any sound whatsoever, nor did she emanate any sense of oppression.

 

It was as if she were merely a strange building rather than any kind of creature.

 

This also made it somewhat difficult for Lu Fan to gauge exactly how powerful this Blade Armour Dragon King was, and whether he and the Devouring Dragon King could steal her Dragon Egg.

 

Thinking of this, Lu Fan communicated with the Devouring Dragon King through their spiritual connection. “Since this is the Blade Armour Dragon King, can you sense how injured she is right now? With our combined strength, are we a match for her?”

 

The Devouring Dragon King was quite confident, saying, “Don’t worry. When us three Dragon Kings fought back then, everyone was severely injured. Although the Blade Armour Dragon King ultimately won and left with her Dragon Egg, she did not return to the Dragon Domain but instead stopped here to heal. The fact that she has not left for so long shows that she can hardly exert any strength. Strictly speaking, this cannot really be considered a true victory.”

 

“I’ve been using the Hell Poison Dragon King’s carcass and poison to heal my wounds and later accelerated my recovery in your Pet Sub-Space. By all measure, my injuries should have healed faster than her. Moreover, you have so many Pet Dragons around you. Never mind anything else, just lending me that Jade Dragon King of yours to help Buff me would be enough for me to completely suppress her! So don’t worry. Today, I can not only help you get that Dragon Egg, but I might even have a chance to devour a Blade Armour Dragon King!”

 

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan realised that the Devouring Dragon King’s request for him to seek out the Blade Armour Dragon King also involved using him.

 

With the existence of a Support Specialised Pet Dragon like the Jade Dragon King, the Devouring Dragon King would have greater confidence in defeating the Blade Armour Dragon King, devouring the carcass to increase her own strength.

 

This way, while Lu Fan could indeed obtain the Dragon Egg, the Devouring Dragon King would also gain tremendous benefits.

 

Even so, Lu Fan had no intention of questioning the Devouring Dragon King’s motives here.

 

Because, although the Devouring Dragon King had concealed her desire to devour the Blade Armour Dragon King, whether she devoured it or not was irrelevant to Lu Fan.

 

Lu Fan only needed to obtain the Dragon Egg. Even if the Devouring Dragon King devoured the Blade Armour Dragon King, at most it would be a win-win for both parties, and he would not lose out.

 

Furthermore, the Devouring Dragon King showed some honour by having Lu Fan complete his Third Profession Change first before coming here, to prevent him from being caught in the crossfire of the earth-shaking battle between the two Giant Dragons and dying.

 

Though technically, this was because if Lu Fan died, the Devouring Dragon King would die too. So, the cooperative relationship between man and Dragon remained quite sound.

 

Thinking of this, Lu Fan said nothing more but replied, “This matter is of great importance. You should at least confirm what the Blade Armour Dragon King’s current strength level is.”

 

The Devouring Dragon King said, “I have no way to confirm it. The Blade Armour Dragon King is currently in her Guardian Stance. Even existences far higher in Level than her cannot probe her Attributes and actual strength at this moment. My Level is comparable to her so how could I possibly know how strong she is right now?”

 

“Guardian Stance?” Lu Fan was greatly surprised, feeling that this so-called ‘Guardian Stance’ might be the Blade Armour Dragon King’s racial trait.

 

The Devouring Dragon King explained, “Yes, in her Guardian Stance State, the Blade Armour Dragon King can accelerate the recovery of her injuries while blocking all forms of external attacks. When you obtain the Dragon Egg and raise your own Blade Armour Dragon King, you’ll understand how it works.”

 

Lu Fan frowned. “That being the case, with the Blade Armour Dragon King in her Guardian Stance, we have no way to break through her defences, right?”

 

“Who says we can’t?” The Devouring Dragon King replied. “Don’t you have a Poison Dragon King? Just poison her. The reason I originally sought the help of that Hell Poison Dragon King was precisely because that Hell Poison Dragons happens to counter the Blade Armour Dragon’s Guardian Stance.”

 

“I see.” Lu Fan nodded and looked at the mountain-like chains and blades before him. He was about to draw a Summoning Array to summon Ji Ji.

 

Indeed, besides Ji Ji, it would be best to summon all his other Pet Dragons as well, just in case.

 

If this Blade Armour Dragon King suddenly launched a counterattack, Lu Fan needed to have countermeasures ready.

 

What if the Blade Armour Dragon King suddenly turned hostile and Lu Fan was killed instantly before he could use any of his trump cards? Would that not be foolish to the extremes?

 

Besides the Blade Armour Dragon King, he also needed to summon Xiao Zuo and Xiao You and equip them.

 

Just as Lu Fan was about to arm himself fully and then have Ji Ji tear through the Blade Armour Dragon King’s Guardian Stance, suddenly a *hissing* sound came from below the summit of Heavenly Divine Peak.

 

Immediately after, a massive creature actually swam up with thunderous sounds, positioning itself not far from Lu Fan’s side.
