[🎉 Shoutout to StrawHatD & Rogue_Demon for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]
Boom!
As the Light Dragon unleashed a sudden assault, a massive area was engulfed in dragon flames, consuming members from both the Supreme Guild and Misty Rain Pavilion.
But strangely, the flames didn't harm them.
Only one person was affected—Zhang Yue.
[Ding~ You have been struck by the [Light Dragon's] dragon flame, losing 2,720 HP]
Zhang Yue's 2,800+ shield and A-rank magic barrier were instantly shattered.
As the dragon prepared for a second attack, Zhang Yue quickly blinked away, narrowly dodging.
Yet, the Light Dragon immediately changed direction to pursue him.
This scene left members of Misty Rain Pavilion, Supreme Guild, and various solo players utterly baffled.
"Why is the dragon targeting that beast tamer? Could he be the egg thief?"
"The Light Dragon can track the scent of whoever stole the egg—he must be the one."
Liu Yao was stunned. "Holy—Bro, was it you who stole the egg?"
"It wasn't me," Zhang Yue replied, dodging the dragon's attacks with all his might. He couldn't understand why the dragon was targeting him.
Could it be because he belonged to the Dark Faction?
No time to ponder, Zhang Yue summoned his Skeletal King and warriors, hoping they could hold off the dragon.
However, when the Light Dragon saw the Skeletal King and the warriors, it grew even more enraged.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
With deafening roars, the dragon unleashed a breath attack, shattering Zhang Yue's Level 28 skeleton warriors instantly.
Even the Dark Skeletal King struggled against the dragon's might.
With [Deadly Taunt] and [Shadow Dominion] activated, the Skeletal King was in a 50% damage reduction state, yet thousands of damage points continuously flashed above its head.
At Level 35, the four-star Light Dragon's strength was far beyond anything Zhang Yue could handle at this stage.
Fortunately, the Skeletal King had a substantial health pool.
With over 7,000 HP, plus a 2,000-point shield, and the necromancer's [Rejuvenation] skill—restoring 300 HP per second for 10 seconds—it barely withstood the dragon's onslaught.
Meanwhile, the number of onlookers continued to grow.
They pointed at Zhang Yue, gossiping among themselves.
"Who would've thought that such a good-looking guy would stoop to stealing a dragon egg."
"And he didn't even log off to hide. Just standing here waiting to die? He deserves it."
On the battlefield, the Skeletal King's health was rapidly plummeting under the dragon's relentless attacks, and it was on the verge of defeat.
Nearby, Liu Yao shouted, "Help my big bro, now!"
Ling Xiaoyao adjusted his glasses, turning to Liu Yao with a smirk. "Didn't you just say you'd cut ties with any friend who stole a dragon egg?"
Liu Yao slapped Ling Xiaoyao on the back of the head. "That's my bro."
Following Liu Yao's rallying cry, Supreme Guild members rushed forward.
The priests healed the Skeletal King, while warriors and knights joined in to tank the damage.
At the same time, Su Jinyan ordered members of Misty Rain Pavilion to assist Zhang Yue in resisting the dragon.
She shouted at the dragon, "You've got the wrong person. Zhang Yue didn't steal your egg."
But the Light Dragon paid no heed to Su Jinyan's words.
Seeing both guilds blocking its path, the dragon began an indiscriminate assault on their members as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dragon unleashed torrents of flames and breath attacks, annihilating countless members from both guilds in a frenzy, with streams of white light marking their respawns.
Meanwhile, Wu Di, standing among the onlookers, sneered as he watched the chaos unfold. "See? I told you, hatred can mask scents. This dumb dragon is blindly following our setup."
"It's already convinced that dark faction beast tamer is the thief; it doesn't care about any other scent."
One of Wu Di's underlings suddenly realized, "So placing that skeleton warrior's body there last night was to help the dragon identify him as the thief?"
Wu Di chuckled coldly. "Try to mess with me? Kid, you're not even close."
"This is the perfect chance to have the dragon severely weaken both Misty Rain Pavilion and Supreme Guild. It'll be two fewer competitors for us in the pro league."
"Brilliant plan, Brother Wu!"
On the battlefield, Misty Rain Pavilion and Supreme Guild members were suffering heavily under the dragon's relentless assault.
Not only was the dragon extraordinarily powerful, but both guilds' players were only around Level 25. How could they possibly fight a creature ten levels above them?
Seeing the carnage, Zhang Yue turned to Liu Yao and Su Jinyan. "Have your people retreat. Don't waste their lives."
Liu Yao shook his head. "Brother, you go first. We'll cover you."
Su Jinyan added, "The dragon's target is you. If you leave, it'll stop attacking us. Zhang Yue, hurry and use a teleport scroll."
Zhang Yue wanted to teleport to spare the guilds further casualties.
However, he realized that since his base was now set to the Dark Temple, he couldn't use a teleport scroll as a member of the Dark Faction.
To prevent needless sacrifices, Zhang Yue used blink to escape the crowd.
Seeing this, the dragon indeed turned and chased after him.
Against a Level 35 four-star boss, Zhang Yue had no chance of victory.
Within moments, the dragon caught up to him.
Its breath attack shattered his magic shield, and its flames instantly drained 90% of his 2,800 HP.
With the dragon closing in, Zhang Yue found himself cornered.
In the crowd, Wu Di watched Zhang Yue smugly.
"Let's see who's going to save you now."
Just then, a figure dashed through the crowd, rushing straight toward him.
Wu Di instantly recognized her by her silhouette. "Ning Tiantian?"
"What are you doing here? And what do you think you're doing?"
Ning Tiantian ignored Wu Di, running to the space between the Light Dragon and Zhang Yue, spreading her arms to shield him from the dragon.
Wu Di's face twisted in shock and anger.
Although he hadn't known Ning Tiantian for long, and they'd mostly interacted online, he knew she was timid by nature.
Yet here she was, standing fearlessly against the terrifying Light Dragon, all for another man.
Even Zhang Yue was stunned.
He could see the fear in Ning Tiantian's eyes, but she stood firm, forcing down her terror as she shouted to the dragon, "He isn't the one who broke your egg!"
But the dragon ignored her plea, opening its jaws wide and beginning to charge its flames.
At that moment, Ning Tiantian opened her communicator, pulling up a recorded video.
Using the projection function, she enlarged the video hundreds of times, displaying it directly before the dragon.
On the screen, Wu Di and several War God Guild members could be seen slaughtering the two Light Dragons guarding the egg, with Wu Di personally smashing the egg and taking the Dragon Pearl.
Then, the War God Guild members dragged over three dark dragon corpses and a skeleton warrior's body...
Ning Tiantian had recorded every single detail of Wu Di's scheme.
Upon seeing this, Wu Di's face twisted in rage, shouting, "You little traitor. You actually followed me."
Just as he finished, the Light Dragon's head snapped toward him.
It roared, turning its massive body and advancing on Wu Di.
Panic spread among the War God Guild members who'd participated in the setup, their faces paling with terror.
"Retreat! Now!"
Wu Di quickly dashed behind a building, crushing a teleport scroll in his hand.
But just as the casting bar began to fill...
Boom! With a thunderous crash, the Light Dragon landed directly in front of him.
"N-no… Don't breathe fire!" Wu Di stammered, trembling as he looked up at the dragon's gaping maw.
But the dragon didn't breathe fire.
Instead, it swallowed Wu Di whole.
Crunch!
One bite, and he was gone.
In an instant, a flash of white light emerged from the dragon's mouth.
The remaining War God Guild members who had taken part in the scheme weren't spared either. One by one, the dragon tracked them down and obliterated them all.
