Chapter 304: Chapter 117 Death of a Dragon (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Continues roars were heard.
The white dragon’s angry roar couldn’t cover up the fact that there were more and more wounds on its body. Although it seemed that the tall Earth Elemental was very small in front of the dragon, the solid Elemental had still resisted three attacks from the dragon. With the Earth Elemental taking three of the attacks, Soran was able to leave three more wounds on the abdomen, waist, and back of the white dragon. At the same time, the nearby elite pirates also seized the opportunity to slash at it several times. These pirates all had Profession Level above level 5; although it was impossible to challenge the dragon head-on, hara.s.sment attacks could still be made.
“Dragon tail swipe!”
The long and thick tail of the dragon swept over like a whip. Soran rolled to avoid the attack, but the strong wind wiped his cheek. Although he avoided the attack, the tall Earth Elemental was not so lucky and was finally broken up into rubble. Even if it was a grade 4 Elemental, it could only resist three or four attacks of the white dragon. But fortunately, the white dragon in front of him had become more and more slow and weak, and Soran’s continuous attacks had dragged it into a state of serious injury.
The casualties of the pirates under Soran were very serious!
Even though he only suffered an injury to the abdomen, half of his men had died.
Even with Soran’s Const.i.tution, he could not take too many hits from the dragon; his men, unfortunately, would die or severely injured after getting hit once.
“Fog, Summoning!”
With more and more wounds on its body, a little fear finally appeared in the eyes of the adult white dragon; it thought that it might die in the hands of these tiny humans. It wanted to fly away, but its dragon wings were broken as heavy harpoons hung on its wings. It felt a sting every time it moved its wings.
Fog appeared on the battlefield.
Soran backed away carefully and watched the enemy in front attentively; the dragon had spellcasting abilities.
The fog covered a wide area, which was similar to the fog in winter. It covered an area of hundreds of meters.
A scream was heard!
It was the screaming of one of Soran’s men. After screaming, there were sounds of bone snapping.
“What’s going on?!”
Soran frowned and looked at the white dragon in front and muttered, “Is there another creature nearby helping it?”
Suddenly he felt that something was wrong. He rushed directly to the white dragon in front of him and slashed at its head. He didn’t feel like cutting into flesh and blood, but like cutting into the air.
Illusion!
Soran felt something was not right; he immediately rushed toward where the scream was heard.
It wanted to run away.
Soran saw the man who was bitten into two by the dragon. At the same time, he saw the white dragon who wanted to escape from the fog. He didn’t know what magic was used but was actually able to erase its moving sound when it moved.
It seemed to be an AOE silent spell!
The white dragon ran toward Soran. Soran came from the sides, while the dragon was running straight.
It was where the wildlings appeared.
“No!”
Soran’s heart jumped. He immediately added a spell “oil on the sole of the foot.” This was a weakened version of “Haste”. Soran’s spell learning time was too short, he could only start from the lower grade magic first, as the learning of the higher grade magic was too time-consuming. The spell lasted less than a minute, but it was enough for Soran to catch up with the adult white dragon in front of him.
It seemed that it had connections to the wildlings!
“Shadowstrike!”
“Sword Form [Horizontal Slash]!”
Soran’s figure flew out, and he swung his curved sword to the belly of the white dragon in front of him. With a splash of dragon blood, its huge figure shook slightly. Its injuries had begun to affect its activities. Even the dragon’s Const.i.tution had gradually declined after serious bleeding injury. Now it was close to dying, so it wanted to escape.
Soran couldn’t let it go.
Half his men had died, so how could he let the dragon get away?
If the white dragon escaped in this way, Soran would not only lose his prestige but also be sorry for those who fought with him. A dragon slayer must not give up halfway, or give the dragon any time to rest as their injury would soon recover a lot. It seemed that the front was really a gathering place for the wildlings, because Soran heard a call like the roar of the dragon, and then saw some commotion in the distance.
It was calling on the wildlings.
With death nearing it, it discarded its pride and called upon the lowly wildlings to help it fight.
“Evade Sight!”
“Shadow Jump!”
Soran obviously felt something was wrong, his figure disappeared in a moment, and then the shadow under a big tree in front of him twisted. Within 100 meters, as long as Soran had enough control, he could appear in any shadow. Soran appeared just in front of the white dragon. His eyes were bloodshot. When his figure came out of the shadow, he immediately jumped up and chopped at the white dragon’s head.
“Sword Form [Beheading]!”
Soran’s figure fell from the sky; his sword slashed at the neck of the white dragon, right at the cut he did previously.
The dragon’s head was pressed down, but he did not cut off the head of the white dragon. The curved sword had cut into the neck bone, although it didn’t cut off the white dragon’s head, it cut the bone in half. Soran caused nearly 100 points of critical damage and directly drove it into the dying edge.
“Sword Form [Beheading]!”
In the distance came the sound of movement, as if some wildlings were approaching.
Soran didn’t think much at all. After a brief moment, he swung his sword again and hit the white dragon’s head. A stream of blood gushed out; Soran finally cut off the white dragon’s head in the third attack [Beheading]. In front of him, the dying white dragon finally died completely. At the same time, a large amount of blood gushed out and fell on Soran, making him feel a burning pain.
But he did not leave.
Instead, he let the dragon’s blood cover his whole body. His whole person seemed to be immersed in the dragon’s blood. This was a special baptism ceremony, which may give him additional ability bonuses.
However, this must be done immediately after the killing of a dragon!
One of the race who would definitely have the chance to improve was called the Dragonborns, that was, the Dragon Disciple and Half-dragons. This process was like Vivian absorbing divinity, but in this case, it absorbed the special power of the dragon. It was also possible for others to gain additional ability improvement when they were baptized with dragon blood, such as making the parts that have been baptized with dragon blood as hard as iron (Natural Defense + 1), or being strengthened by dragon blood to improve their physical ability (Const.i.tution + 1), and other possible effects.
This process required some luck.
The scalding blood shrouded Soran’s body. A little burning sensation didn’t make him step back. The dragon blood was only hot when the dragon just died. The blood would gradually cool or even coagulate in a short time.
The dragon blood dyed Soran red!
In the distance, he heard the voice of the wildlings were getting closer and closer. Then he saw the figure of the wildlings hundreds of meters away. They saw Soran in the distance and the dead white dragon. Then they cried out in horror and fear, as they fled towards the distance.
A glow of weak divinity appeared!
As the body of the adult white dragon stopped moving, a faint glow of divinity could be seen moving to Soran.
A row of data appeared:
“Activated Sword Form [Beheading]!”
“You’ve dealt 56 critical damage to the target!… Beheading successful!… You’ve successfully killed a white dragon!…”
“Extracting soul energy from target…”
“Received 56000 Slaughter EXP!…”
“Target was a divine creature.”
“Extracting divinity!… Extraction was successful!… You’ve gained 1 divinity!…”
Little by little divinity fell on Soran.
When he was very surprised that the adult white dragon in front of him had a little divinity, the lucky gold coins on his body also gave out a faint aura, and then, he saw that the dragon blood covering his whole body seemed to have a little heat flowing into his body, which was an invisible force; gradually infiltrating into Soran’s body, so that he could inherit part of the ability from a pure dragon.
A row of data appeared:
“You’ve accepted the [Dragonblood baptism] ceremony!…”
“You’ve gained additional abilities!… You’ve inherited part of the dragon’s power!…”
“Ceremony successful.”
“You’ve gained an additional Pa.s.sive Ability [Dragonblood baptism LV1]!…”
“Dragonblood baptism LV1 [Special Ability]: you have successfully killed an adult white dragon. After finis.h.i.+ng this feat of killing a dragon, you have carried out the first dragon blood baptism. This baptism strengthens your body and allows you to inherit some of the dragon’s abilities. Dragon blood makes you stronger and makes your skin tougher. You gain 1 point of Natural Armor permanently and increase 1 point of Toughness. These abilities can be gradually improved with the number of dragon blood baptisms. ” [Natural Armor + 1, Toughness + 1. ]
“Note: Dragonblood baptism can be performed along with bloodline purification.”
