Chapter 198: Black Dragon
🕑 Added 2025-05-06 15:30:01 +0000 UTC“Brat....!”
Feeling the pain in his chest and the rapidly dwindling life force, Voban’s face contorted in anger. His green, eerie pupils fixed on Blake.
“You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You really have a death wish.”
Blake coldly glanced at Voban and spoke in a frigid tone.
“Then let me take your life first.”
Without giving Voban a chance to struggle, Blake tightened his grip on the holy sword and forcefully lifted it upward.
【Crack————!】
【Whoosh————!】
In an instant, a horrifying sound of flesh being cut echoed, and Voban’s upper body was vertically sliced in half. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, staining the ground red.
“Roar————!”
The next moment, a dragon’s roar suddenly sounded, and Voban’s lifeless body emitted strange black smoke, forming an eerie black dragon that exuded a sinister aura.
Blake saw the ominous black energy and furrowed his brows. He swiftly dodged, retreating from Voban’s side.
【Boom————!】
As Blake moved away, the black dragon grew larger and larger, destroying everything in its path. Huge pits kept collapsing, and a pitch-black vortex formed, swallowing up the surrounding rubble, sending a chilling sensation throughout the area.
“This really is troublesome. Seems like I went too far,” Blake muttered as he looked at the twisting and distorting black dragon, which was continuing to destroy everything and expand at the edges.
This eerie black dragon was Voban’s last-ditch defensive ability — the Black Dragon of the Underworld.
It caused the body to fall into a fake death state, while the soul transformed into a massive black dragon. During this period, the body was defenseless, but the tangible black dragon could destroy everything around it. It could also shift between life and death realms.
When Voban died, this ability would consume a large amount of magic energy, preventing him from recovering for a month or two.
“If I want to destroy the black dragon protecting him along with Voban, I’ll have to use my full power — Excalibur. But with that kind of power, not only will the island be destroyed, but the nearby port city will also be obliterated, wiping it off the map.”
Blake pondered, feeling troubled. Although he was indifferent to killing enemies, wiping out tens of thousands of lives for no reason was something he could not bring himself to do. If he did, he might truly be called a monster.
Of course, aside from this reason, another issue was that his strength had already been significantly depleted in his battle with Voban. Using Excalibur at full force again would make it difficult to deal with Doni later.
“Ah!!!”
While Blake was deep in thought, two panicked cries suddenly brought him back to reality. He turned to look.
In the right direction, Liliana and Yuri were weakly running, with the black energy behind them destroying everything in its path. If left unchecked, these two would likely meet a tragic end.
“Forget it. I’ll leave the troublesome things alone.”
Blake sighed, glanced once more at the roaring black dragon in the sky, and then raised an eyebrow before quickly rushing toward Liliana and Yuri. As he stored the holy sword back into his spatial ring, he scooped up each of the girls and flew into the air again.
“Don’t worry, you’re safe now.”
Looking at the two girls in his arms, who were still in shock and tightly clinging to him, Blake smiled softly.
“U-um, thank you... for saving us.”
Yuri spoke softly. She didn’t know what expression to make when facing Blake. After all, Blake had just fought and nearly defeated the legendary Voban. She had seen most of the devastating battle earlier, especially the bloody scene.
At twelve years old, Yuri was undoubtedly frightened. However, Blake had helped them multiple times.
“Thank you for saving me, I’ll repay you. U-um... could you put me down? As a knight, such intimate contact can only be had with the king I swore loyalty to...”
Liliana was a bit more straightforward, first sincerely thanking him. Then, under Blake’s odd gaze, her delicate face flushed red, and she spoke hesitantly.
Ding
As a gentleman, I think you must have some thoughts about the l*lis. So don’t be shy, keep them around you as proud l*li companions. Task reward: 200 luck points.
Just as Blake was about to say something, the system’s voice rang out, adding several black lines to his forehead and causing his veins to bulge.
“System, who is a gentleman here?! And who has any thoughts about l*lis? I... I...!”
Blake screamed inwardly, but by the end, he was left speechless.
“...Am I really a l*li-con...”
Blake’s mouth twitched slightly and then fell silent.
“Um... excuse me, what’s wrong?”
At this moment, Liliana’s voice sounded again, with a cautious tone, as if she were afraid of annoying Blake.
“It’s nothing, I was just thinking whether or not to put you down. After all, the thing below is quite dangerous.”
Upon hearing this, Blake, who had regained his composure, silently looked at the black dragon below and said.
“Uh....!”
Hearing this, Liliana and Yuri were also stunned. They looked at the terrifying black dragon and the black hole below, not daring to speak anymore.
If they really went down there, they’d probably be killed instantly...
“In any case, let’s stay up in the air for now.”
Calmly holding the two l*lis, feeling their unique fragrance and softness, Blake said indifferently.
To this, Liliana and Yuri could only let Blake hold them.
Then, Blake feigned curiosity and asked for the names of the two l*lis, while also introducing himself.
While Blake was chatting with the two l*lis, in another battlefield several kilometers away from the black dragon, after a burst of silver light and the unwilling scream of the Heretic God faded, the battle also came to an end.
“Yo, brother, really thanks a lot.”
A few seconds later, Tony, whose clothes were somewhat disheveled and holding a standard iron sword, shouted at Blake in the sky from a distance, causing Blake to raise his eyebrows, nearly wanting to rush over and give this guy a good beating.
