Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 809: Chapter 808: Plot death, this kind of thing...

”Damn bastards!!”

The Red Dragon flew back and forth several times, although it wiped out quite a few Zerg, it was feeling a bit exhausted. While warriors in the Legendary Domain were formidable, strictly speaking, they could still be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

But that number... it’s at least starting with a hundred thousand, with no upper limit.

However...

Just how many of these damned bugs are there?

Hovering in the air, watching the relentless swarm charging at it, the Red Dragon felt a bit unnerved. It had never experienced such a battle before; it had fought strong opponents, but those were all one-on-one battles. Slaughtering weaklings was naturally no challenge for the Red Dragon.

But... it had never experienced a battle like this!

Typically, when those creatures saw its true form and Dragon Might, they’d be trembling with fear. Often, before it even acted, the opponent was already terrified to the point of fleeing. Even those with the courage to fight it would usually be scared off with a few rounds of burning.

But what kind of freaks are these bugs?

The Legendary Dragon was just legendary, and this Red Dragon was only newly matured. Even being a Legendary Dragon didn’t mean it was an infinite energy perpetual machine. It’s like a human could easily crush a hundred ants, a thousand ants, or even ten thousand ants.

But if billions of ants kept swarming toward you, then even if you wore alloy armor, your first instinct would probably be to turn tail and run.

The Red Dragon was like this now; it originally thought its true form and Dragon Might would be enough to suppress these bugs. But to the Red Dragon’s surprise, its Dragon Might had almost no effect on these bugs! They didn’t even show any intention of fleeing; instead, they relentlessly pursued it.

Even though it displayed such powerful strength, they still wouldn’t submit!

”Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!”

Golden plasma shells fired from the ground, aiming at the sky. Simultaneously, a large cloud of green acidic mist enveloped the Red Dragon.

”Roar—————!!”

The Red Dragon roared angrily, and a storm of flames erupted from its body once more, dispersing the surrounding poisonous mist. It glared viciously at the distance, and soon the Corruptors hovering afar began to burn, turning into ash.

”Damn... damn... ptoo ptoo ptoo!!”

Screaming angrily, the Red Dragon spat repeatedly; these damned bugs were not only disgusting in appearance, but even their way of fighting was repulsive. The green acidic mist they released not only corroded the Red Dragon’s scales, but made it feel like it was rolled in a stinking ditch!

Initially, the Red Dragon roared furiously, ”I’m going to kill you all!!” But now, it couldn’t shout anymore; it had killed countless bugs, yet there were still swarms attacking it from all directions. Whether it was the little Flying Dragons or the bizarre bug monsters, the Red Dragon felt a bit fatigued.

If it wanted, the Red Dragon could flap its wings and turn to leave; as long as the Field of Fire was still in effect, these bugs couldn’t stop it.

But the Red Dragon wasn’t willing to retreat so easily; it had set out on this campaign in high spirits, and the humans believed that victory was certain as long as it was there. However, now the army it initially led was almost completely annihilated. If it returned in disgrace, it would have no face left!

As a Red Dragon, it couldn’t afford such shame!

Otherwise, how would it live in its tribe in the future?

”Fine, I want to see just how many of you there are!! I’ll burn you all to ashes!!”

At this moment, the Red Dragon perfectly embodied the meaning of ”young and impulsive.” It furiously stretched its wings, expanding its Field of Fire once again, and for a time, everything in sight was ablaze. The sky, the earth, everything was subjected to the flames’ erosion, and the erupting flame tornado shot skyward, turning the entire wilderness a brilliant red.

”Hoo-ah... hoo-ah... hoo-ah...”

After an unknown period, the Red Dragon finally dispelled the domain. At this moment, there was no sound of the swarm in its sight; whether flying in the sky or running on the ground, even the disgusting-colored fungal carpet had been burnt to nothing. The entire ground was charred, unrecognizable.

”Humph, lowly mutts.”

Looking at the scene before it, the Red Dragon raised its head proudly. But instinctively, it first glanced towards the horizon — thankfully, nothing should have appeared over there; otherwise, it would’ve truly had to run.

Thinking of this, the Red Dragon breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the Field of Fire. Although it wished to return immediately, it couldn’t yet; it had to destroy the Insect Hive as its task. However, it needed to rest first... After all, the Red Dragon wasn’t made of iron, and maintaining the Field of Fire for so long had left it somewhat weary.

Once it confirmed there were no enemies around, the Red Dragon flapped its wings and slowly landed on the ground.

”Crack.”

However, what the Red Dragon didn’t expect was that the moment its right claw touched the ground, the earth suddenly cracked open into a huge pit. Losing balance, the Red Dragon’s body tilted, but the Red Dragon wasn’t going to stop there; it spread its wings, instinctively trying to maintain its balance.

Yet, at this moment, the Red Dragon’s movement suddenly froze. Time Stop, the unparalleled Power of Time bound the Red Dragon’s body. Even so, the Red Dragon’s body continued to move, as if the scene was being played at the slowest possible speed.

The Time Dragon, who Fang Zheng had transformed into, suddenly appeared in the air. He spread his wings and dove down like a cannonball, delivering a solid kick to the Red Dragon’s body.

”Down you go!”

At the moment Fang Zheng kicked the Red Dragon, the time restraint was abruptly lifted, and it was evident the Red Dragon couldn’t fully withstand Fang Zheng’s strike. It wailed as it fell into the pit.

”What’s happening? What happened, what is...!”

The Red Dragon turned its head, wanting to see clearly who dared to ambush it.

Yet, it didn’t notice countless sharp stone pillars beneath it, transformed into spikes, waiting for its arrival.

By the time the Red Dragon realized something was wrong, it was too late.

”Ahhhhhh...!!”

Straight and sharp stone pillars pierced through the Red Dragon’s body, and the Red Dragon writhed in pain, flapping its wings, trying to break free from the pillars. But the agony rendered it almost unable to think; moreover, its struggle caused the stalactites above the cavern to begin wobbling.

”Swoosh.”

As the Red Dragon opened its mouth, trying to unleash its breath, a stalactite-like spear descended from above, piercing into its wide-open mouth and through its head. The Red Dragon twitched, then limply fell, silent, becoming a dead body.

”Phew...”

Suspended in the air, Fang Zheng saw this scene and shrugged. He then transformed back into a human, summoned out Ratziel, and flipped open the pages. On the white pages were lines of text.

[...The Red Dragon didn’t know that beneath the plains it fought on lay a huge cavern, filled with sharp stalagmites resembling the monster’s fangs. These stone formations, weathered through rain and storm, were hard enough to pierce the scales of a matured Giant Dragon. And after the battle, the plain was so fragile it couldn’t even support the weight of a Red Dragon...]

”As expected, terrain is the true master. I can’t solve you, but can’t I deal with the national geography?”

Satisfied with the record in Ratziel, Fang Zheng nodded in approval, then casually dismissed Angel, subsequently vanishing into thin air.

The rest, let the swarm handle it.
