Chapter 862: First Floor - Lu An Against Drakengard

The massive creature in front of him was similar to a massive lizard but with four tall legs. It stood like a dinosaur, but the body was made of earth with spiky hills on its back.

Lu An looked up at the thirty meters tall creature in front of him. He met with the creatureʼs grayish eyes, but he did not back down from the stare. He frowned after scanning Drakengardʼs body. The Elder Drake gave an impression of an indestructible fortress. He then looked down at his right hand on his sword. He did not know if his less than two meters sword would be able to hurt the massive creature in front of him.

”Whoʼs killing intent just now?” Drakengard looked down at the five figures below him since only five people were in his territory. Seeming to be able to discover who the killing intent belonged, the Elder Drake stared down at Lu An.

”Do you mute? Speak, human! This King is asking you!” The Elder Drake raised its already loud voice. But it barely bothered Lu An as he stared back at the drake, thinking of how to take down this massive creature. His assassination was hardly worked against the enemy with the tough defensive mechanism like this Elder Drake.

”Maybe this will work,” Lu An muttered in a low voice, completely ignoring the Elder Drake. At the same time, the shadow condensed in his sword. He did not bother to respond to Drakengard as he slashed the sword upward. The condensed shadow was released, forming the curved blade.

Drakengard sensed the danger of the attack, and a brown shield immediately formed in the front. The crescent shadow blade hit the barrier and shook. However, the barrier was strong enough to completely block the shadow blade. The barrier did not even crack as the Elder released his aura, furious because the human suddenly attacked, ”You dare to assault this King, human!”

Drakengard tried to locate Lu An, but Lu An was no longer in the same spot by then. The Elder Drake was struck with a sudden confusion for a moment before he sensed a danger above him. He looked up and saw a giant shadow sword right above his head. There was no second thought as he immediately set up his strongest defense. His skin was glowing golden whilst his barrier was still up.

The shadow sword struck down toward Elder Drakeʼs head. Drakengardʼs gut feelings saved him from the shadow blade because the barrier broke apart under the massive shadow sword. The second defense received the shadow sword and completely blocked Lu Anʼs second attack. The shadow sword dispersed; at the same time, the golden glow dimmed down.

Drakengard was left unscathed from the massive attack thanks to his fast reaction. However, he was still on high alert, looking for the human who attacked him. This time, he sensed the danger from below him. Elder Drake looked down on his feet and saw the human was controlling his own shadow. The massive shadow shaped into another sword and pointed toward his belly.

As the shadow flew up from the ground toward his belly, he quickly reacted with a counterattack. The ground on Lu Anʼs footing suddenly rose, throwing him off way. The shadow returned to his original shadow, stopping his own shadow from attacking him. Drakengard looked up and was about to chase Lu An, but he remembered Lu An was not alone.

Recognizing how dangerous Lu An was, Elder Drake did not want to underestimate the human friends after experiencing what Lu An was capable of. As he tried to find Revalor and the others, the four had disappeared already. He quickly sensed the four human friends were in the distance already.

Since the four were far away from him, Drakengard focused back on Lu An. He was furious that a mere human tried to kill him. However, by the time he looked away from the four, he sensed danger coming toward him. He looked back and saw the swirling mana arrow accelerating toward him. The arrow was just too fast, and Elder Drake knew he did not have enough time to cast the barrier to block the arrow.

Drakengard tried to tilt his head, but the arrow still grazed his face. The mana arrow exploded, and it hurt a lot for someone who had forgotten the pain. This was the first time he felt pain again after hundreds of years of ruling the first floor. The Elder Drake let out a furious roar that shook the ground, releasing a strong shock wave at the same time. As the explosion died down, it revealed that a chunk of Drakengardʼs face was missing as green blood flowed down.

The Miragulʼs legs were shaking as he witnessed the angry king, fear and terror mixed together. If he was a human, he already puked what was in his stomach, but he was an entity that sucked the othersʼ life force to live, not eating the normal, so he had nothing to puke.

Revalor maintained his composure as he was not fazed by the furious King. He was confident in his strength, and this Elder Drake was not a threat to him, especially after he got his talent from the smart base. Thanks to the talent, which was his second talent because Elf was born with a natural talent, Revalor was far stronger than him in the past, so he was not worried about the Epic Rank Elder Drake in front of him as he could easily kill it, but he left it for Lu An. His attack was meant to attract Elder Drake away from Lu An, who got knocked away.

Revalor looked toward the direction where Lu An crashed into and put down his bow. The Epic Rank Elder Drake was Lu Anʼs prey, so he did not want to kill it. Even if he killed it, it barely helped him to level up either. So, he would give the Elder Drake to Lu An as this King of the first floor would be a massive experience for Lu An. He lowered the bow and nodded his head.

”Tree man! You will die miserably for angering this King!” Drakengard called Revalor the tree man because the Elf was known to live in the treehouse.
