A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 116: Chapter 99: Not Talking about Martial Morality_1

The block of ice shattered, and a huge figure emerged, its body ablaze with fire. It spread its wings and let out a furious roar to vent the anger that had been sealed away for an unknown number of years. However…

“Attack!!”

At Duanmu Huai’s command, everyone else sprung into action.

Ogis extended her hands, her slender puppet strings wrapped around the Flame Devil Dragon’s wings and limbs like chains. She then clenched her fists, tugged hard, and directly pulled the Flame Devil Dragon back down to the ground just as it was getting up.

Before the Flame Devil Dragon could figure out what had happened, it raised its head in confusion, seemingly trying to assess its current situation. But just then, Lorena leaped up. She gripped the Holy Canon in both hands, raised it high, and then forcefully slammed it down on the dragon’s head!

“Bang!!!”

Accompanied by a heavy impact sound, the Flame Devil Dragon let out a pitiful cry and fell to the ground.

“Ann!”

“Greiya!!”

Simultaneously, the two princesses raised their hands, a vast amount of magic power materialized and converged in them, forming a massive fireball. Magic circles flashed within the fireball, amplifying its size until it enveloped the entire giant dragon.

“Grand Magic!”

“Fatal Ignition!!”

With the roars of Ann and Greiya, the colossal fireball, resembling a miniature sun, plummeted down onto the Flame Devil Dragon like a falling comet, engulfing it in a massive explosion.

Although it looked impressive, was it really a good idea to attack a Flame Devil Dragon with fire magic?

Seemingly to respond to Duanmu Huai’s scoff, the blast of flames and airflow quickly dissipated. The Flame Devil Dragon lying on the ground no longer held its previous majesty, or maybe it simply couldn’t —after all, its head and most of its body had been blown apart, leaving no trace of flesh. It should definitely be dead… Huh?

However, at that moment, Duanmu Huai saw a flash of red light amidst the dragon’s remains. The Flame Devil Dragon’s body suddenly began to burn, and its flesh started regenerating at a visible rate!

Damn it, are you the bastard child of an Immortal Bird?

Although he was grumbling internally, Duanmu Huai didn’t panic. After all, he had confronted similar regenerating monsters before and knew how to handle them!

“Ann, Greiya! Destroy the core inside its body!”

“Yes!!”

The princesses who were startled by the dragon’s regeneration instantly came back to their senses upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s command. Then, Ann raised her hands, and a vivid red magical array took shape beside her.

“Rune Magic Penetrating Cannon!!”

With Ann’s furious roar, a dazzling red beam burst forth and directly pierced through the regenerating body of the Flame Devil Dragon, hitting its core. Surprisingly, there was no reaction from the dragon to Ann’s powerful attack!

Could this thing be immune to magic?

Witnessing this, everyone was taken aback. Meanwhile, the Flame Devil Dragon began to move again. Its body expanded rapidly before suddenly exploding, turning into several fiery demons rushing towards Duanmu Huai and his companions!

This is bad, it’s trying to delay us and buy time for its recovery!

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was alarmed. At the moment, the rest of them were entangled with the suddenly explosive fire demons and could not escape. Meanwhile, the Flame Devil Dragon started regenerating for the next round. Its body began to heal at a rapid pace. If things continued this way, the situation would be bad!

“Tsk, why do all BOSSes like to struggle at death’s door? Wouldn’t it be better to just die honorably?!”

Observing the scene, Duanmu Huai coldly snorted. He swiftly waved his hand, instantly summoning several Large Mechanical Soldiers to block the attack from the fire demons. At the same time, the jetpack on Duanmu Huai’s back burst forth, propelling him into the air in one leap. He sailed over the battlefield, hammering his War Hammer down onto the Flame Devil Dragon!

“Roaaar!!!”

Although it was headless, the Flame Devil Dragon seemed to sense Duanmu Huai’s danger. Its body flames churned, transforming into a firebird trying to block Duanmu Huai’s attack. However, just then, a cold wind blew by.

“Huuuu—————-!!”

Felin spread her hands, a frigid wind capable of freezing even the stone whistled towards the Flame Devil Dragon. In an instant, the Immortal Birds were shattered, and even the raging flames burning on the Flame Devil Dragon itself became almost intangible under the blow of the cold wind.

“Haahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Duanmu Huai charged past the remnants of the Immortal Birds, forcefully swung the Thunder Hammer in his hand at the core of the Flame Devil Dragon. The hammer that shimmered like thunder heavily struck the gem-like heart, which swiftly shattered and exploded!

“Boom!!!”

The hot flames instantly engulfed Duanmu Huai, but it was merely the Flame Devil Dragon’s last-ditch struggle. The erupting fire shot into the sky, releasing an unwilling roar, followed by an explosion that lit up the entire sky like fireworks.

At the same time, those Fire Demon Beasts faded into nothingness, disappearing without a trace.

“Phew……”

Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief.

They had finally slain the Flame Devil Dragon.

“Awesome, Greiya, we’ve exterminated the Dragon!!”

Seeing the dragon destroyed completely, Ann embraced Greiya excitedly. After all, it was their first time defeating a legendary beast themselves. It’s no wonder Ann was jumping for joy.

“Don’t be so complacent, we were just lucky this time.”

Watching the jubilant crowd, Duanmu Huai walked over and reminded them. As he said, perhaps the Flame Devil Dragon was once very powerful, but it had been sealed for several centuries. It’s like a gangster who spent many years in jail and just got out, before he could even breathe the fresh air or enjoy the sunlight, he was ambushed and beaten to death.

Regardless, this was the first boss-level Demon Beast they’ve defeated in their adventures. No wonder Ann and Greiya were so excited. Even Lorena, a Missionary Priest, was so excited her cheeks turned red. She probably doesn’t often face such enemies.

However, unfortunately, before they could savour the thrill and excitement of defeating the beast, the High Tower started to collapse…

The High Tower was held up by Felin’s magic, it’s already generous that it hasn’t collapsed when it took a beating from Ann and Greiya.

When everyone finally managed to escape the tower, covered head to toe in dirt and grime, the place had turned into ruins.

Felin silently looked at the ruined High Tower, remaining silent, and her expression was tinged with melancholy and sadness.

Even though it was a seal, she had lived there for centuries, so it’s impossible for her not to have any feelings for it.

Duanmu Huai walked to her and patted her shoulder.

“Let’s go, we have a long road ahead of us.”

“……….”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Felin did not say much, simply nodding slightly.

After all, she had no reason to stay here anymore.

So, Duanmu Huai’s team added one more member —— or half a member?

A flying fairy counts as half, right?

Greiya was rather very pleased with Felin’s addition. After all, as a dragonkin, she had never met a fellow dragonkin, so she cared a lot about Felin.

On the other hand, Felin was somewhat surprised upon hearing Greiya’s circumstances. According to Felin, dragonkin were scarce but not nonexistent in her generation. Like Greiya, Felin was also born to a dragon and a human.

However, Felin’s mother was a Water Dragon, so she didn’t have wings like Greiya. On the contrary, she possesses the ability to control ice and water, and to swim freely in the sea. By the way, Greiya often admired Felin’s tail, it was slender, transparent like crystal, and extremely beautiful.

Greiya’s tail, on the other hand, was a bit thick —— how should I put it, it’s like a girl with thick thighs admiring a girl with slender thighs.

Although Ann thought Greiya’s tail was cute, and Duanmu did not think there was anything wrong with it, Greiya seemed to care…

Nevermind, they didn’t understand dragonkin’s matters, anyway.
