Chapter 689, What Ultimate Trump Card Do They Have?

Translator: Silavin

 

This appeared to be another Transformation Type Skill, allowing Kage Tenshi’s strength to surge dramatically with a perfect balance between Offence and Defence.

 

After his body was enveloped by this ghostly phantom, the oppressive aura he emanated clearly intensified by several magnitudes!

 

Although they knew Lu Fan still had cards up his sleeve, the girls, like Jian Ying, who witnessed such a terrifying Player nearby, all could not help but have complete fear in their eyes.

 

This fear was instinctual. Dread bought out since the dawn of man. In front of them was a Level 130 Player, who could easily kill them with a snap of his fingers.

 

Sensing Kage Tenshi’s overwhelmingly formidable might, Lu Fan felt slightly alarmed as well.

 

[No wonder he could hold absolute power over Cherry Blossom Country. He is incomparable to trash like Kage Mako. If there were no Giant Dragons on the island, I might actually have a hard time facing him. I might actually be forced to call out the Devouring Dragon King.]

 

Unfortunately, this world contained no ‘what ifs’.

 

No matter how powerful Kage Tenshi was or became, Lu Fan felt he had no need to fear.

 

After all, no matter how strong he was, can he surpass an Eternal Phase Dragon!?

 

How could Kage Tenshi possibly comprehend Lu Fan’s thoughts?

 

When he observed how Lu Fan’s companions had each been frightened pale by his intimidating presence, he could not help but release a cold laugh. [Seems like this young man is mostly bluffing with hollow bravado.]

 

Using Territory Defensive Measures to eliminate so many of his accompanying followers had already reached his absolute limits. Now that he had personally gone for the kill, what methods of self-preservation could this young man possibly have?!

 

The forthcoming events would prove remarkably straightforward.

 

Not only Kage Tenshi, but the other three unleashed their Enhancement Skills without reservation, bringing their Combat Power to the peak.

 

The Sword Wielding Patriarch had consecutively applied three Enhancement Skills to himself.

 

Around his body, dark-coloured armour had begun materialising into solid form. Simultaneously, his longsword bore two black whirlwinds in constant rotation.

 

These whirlwinds were certainly no mere decoration. Once this blade wounded an enemy, it would undoubtedly inflict numerous Negative Status Effects.

 

The final Patriarch had a Beast Tamer Type Profession.

 

Moreover, the Pet he summoned was actually familiar to Lu Fan. It was precisely the same Yamata no Orochi as what Kage Mako had.

 

However, his Yamata no Orochi was obviously larger than Kage Mako’s, at a Higher Level and superior strength.

 

After all, he was a Fifth Profession Player, while Kage Mako was merely at Level 119.

 

Although both sides differed by only a single Level, this gap resembled a vast chasm.

 

Kage Mako had likewise summoned a Pet giant serpent.

 

This giant serpent was not Yamata no Orochi, but rather another serpentes species bearing some resemblance to Yamata no Orochi.

 

Its entire body blazed crimson, sporting three heads. Compared to Yamata no Orochi’s eight heads, the oppressive presence it gave was minute to say the least.

 

Because his Yamata no Orochi had been slain by Lu Fan, Kage Mako temporarily lacked means to acquire another Yamata no Orochi to cultivate with. Therefore, he could only settle for this substitute.

 

Kage Mako was absolutely the weakest amongst everyone present. Not only did he fall short compared to the four Patriarchs, but having nearly been killed by Lu Fan previously, his Level had dropped, preventing him from reaching his peak strength.

 

Even so, his power would still rank him amongst the world’s top Players.

 

At minimum, eliminating people like Jian Ying would prove effortless for him.

 

Kage Mako clearly understood his role. He was to kill those that came with Lu Fan.

 

Those girls possessed such delicate, tender flesh. Having his Pet devour them should prove quite agreeable to its taste.

 

Almost instantaneously, everyone entered their combat stance. The overwhelming pressure emanating from the four experts caused the entire Shadow Fortress to tremble.

 

If these four attacked simultaneously, Shadow Fortress might genuinely face complete demolition.

 

“Any final words?” Kage Tenshi’s voice carried icy detachment. A single sentence seemingly proving he retained some fragment of Humanity.

 

Lu Fan stood with hands clasped behind his back, observing them thoughtfully before responding. “Do you have any?”

 

“Heh, facing death yet remaining so stubborn?” Kage Tenshi had completely lost patience.

 

As if receiving some command, the Beast Tamer Patriarch directly manipulated his Yamata no Orochi, charging ferociously towards Lu Fan’s group while opening the massive mouths of all eight heads.

 

Yamata no Orochi’s body was tremendous, leaving no doubt whatsoever that this charge alone might collapse the entire Shadow Fortress.

 

Regardless, Yamata no Orochi’s bloody maws had already targeted Lu Fan’s group. If they failed to take action, they would inevitably be swallowed whole.

 

Contrary to Kage Tenshi and the others’ expectations, Lu Fan’s group genuinely did nothing at all.

 

It seemed like they were simply waiting for Yamata no Orochi to devour them.

 

Just as Yamata no Orochi launched itself airborne, lunging ferociously towards Lu Fan’s group, suddenly an enormously massive flame gate materialised in mid-air.

 

Witnessing this flame gate, Kage Tenshi and the others’ expressions had changed.

 

[He actually possesses more trump cards!? What is that!?]

 

Subsequently, the flame gate provided their answer.

 

The flame gate opened, and an extremely robust Bronze Dragon descended from within, immediately stomping down upon Yamata no Orochi with one foot.

 

Yamata no Orochi was large, but compared to the robust Bronze Dragon, the difference remained far too vast.

 

Yamata no Orochi resembled a mere rope, pinned down helplessly beneath the Dragon’s foot, unable to struggle free.

 

The sudden appearance of a Giant Dragon, moreover an Adult Giant Dragon, left Kage Tenshi and his companions completely astounded!

 

They had originally assumed Lu Fan merely possessed Pet Dragons. If only Pet Dragons, those would be roughly Level 70 Dragons. They should not present as a threat.

 

But how could they possibly have imagined an Adult Giant Dragon would appear here!?

 

Adult Giant Dragons represented existences comparable to Divine Beings themself.

 

No matter how powerful Kage Tenshi became, he remained merely a Fifth Profession Player, barely catching a glimpse of Divine Power. Compared to genuine Divine Beings, the gap was like the difference between Heaven and Earth.

 

Wanting to engage an Adult Giant Dragon in combat?

 

Sure, first advance to Level 150 and complete his Sixth Profession Change.

 

After the Bronze Dragon’s descent, this single stomp nearly crushed Yamata no Orochi to death.

 

Yamata no Orochi struggled desperately, even having its eight heads spewing various Skills, attempting to severely wound the Bronze Dragon and force it to lift its foot.

 

Bronze Dragons possessed defensive capabilities far inferior to Golden Dragons. However, their defensive strength ranked amongst the very top within the Dragon Race.

 

Bronze Dragons were exceptionally unique, after all. They possessed no capability of Dragon Language Magic. Their combat methodology relied purely upon their physical bodies to engage enemies in close combat, making their Strength Attribute extraordinary.
