A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 196: Chapter 158 Dragonborn (Ancient Scroll Online is not fun at all)_1

By the time Duanmu Huai and the Guard Team arrived at the watchtower, it was already too late.

The entire watchtower had been burned to ruins, with rubble and debris strewn everywhere. Flames were still raging on the ground.

“Damn it, we’re too late!!”

Seeing this, the captain of the Guard Team bit his lip, his face pale. But at that moment, a guard peeked out from the ruins of the tower, waving at them.

“Hey, come quickly! The dragon is still nearby!”

“Are you the only one alive?”

Seeing a survivor, the captain of the Guard Team breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepping forward to inquire. The guard nodded in conformation.

“Yes, everyone else was caught by the dragon while trying to escape…… Oh, damn!”

However, before he could finish his sentence, the guard’s face changed dramatically, his eyes wide in surprise as he looked to the sky.

“It’s back!!”

Following the guard’s cry, everyone looked up to see a giant dragon, flying overhead, its wings flapping, issuing a roar like thunder.

The captain of the Guard Team hastily raised his bow and arrow upon seeing this.

“Everyone conceal yourselves! Arm your arrows, prepare to attack!!”

Though fearful of the dragon before them, the soldiers quickly hidden themselves and launched an attack. As their arrows flew towards the dragon, but they could not penetrate the dragon’s scales – which was to be expected.

“Sir Knight, this dragon looks different from the one we saw earlier.”

Ann curiously eyed the dragon and asked. Duanmu Huai nodded in agreement. As Ann said, this dragon was sizable but smaller compared to the previous Black Dragon. Instead of black, this one was white…Well, not knowing the reason, there was only one solution to a dragon appearing before them.

“Take it down!”

With Duanmu Huai’s command, everyone sprang into action. Ann held up her hands, and quickly, a massive magic circle materialized above the dragon’s head. Following that, a bolt of purple lightning thundered down, striking the dragon directly. Unable to withstand the attack, the dragon howled in pain before crashing to the ground.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai, Lorena, and Greiya charged toward the dragon from three different directions.

“Roar!”

The dragon on the ground, on seeing someone trying to attack, became enraged. It opened its mouth and sparks of fire flickered within, as it prepared to breathe fire at them. However, before it could, Ogis clapped her hands together, then pulled apart. The next moment, the dragon’s head was forcibly pulled to the side by an invisible thread. The flames from its mouth narrowly missed the trio, hitting nothing but air.

However, the dragon wasn’t ready to give up just yet. Unlike Regnes’s dragon, this dragon’s front claws were fused with its wings, making it look like giant bat wings. Now facing an imminent attack, it quickly lifted its front claws to cover its head, its wings unfurling like a shield to protect its front.

However, this level of defense was utterly useless.

“Aaaahhh!!”

Facing the dragon’s resistance, Lorena raised the Holy Canon and struck hard. The thick book slammed into the dragon’s forearm with a “snap”, bending it in a seemingly impossible direction. The massive impact even made the dragon let out a deafening scream.

But that was not all.

As the dragon staggered, Greiya, like a hunting panther, dashed past it. Her hand, transformed into a dragon claw, easily sliced through the dragon’s wings, cutting it in half like paper.

Without the support of its front claws, the dragon again fell heavily onto the ground. When it lifted its head, all it saw was a heavy hammer, flashing with lightning.

“Boom!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Duanmu Huai’s thunderous heavy hammer came down from the sky, smashing through the dragon’s skull, cracking its head in half. Like a stone shattered by a hammer, the dragon’s head split open, blood and brains splattering all around. The dragon’s immense body convulsed once, then lay still.

The coordination between Duanmu Huai and the rest was flawless. From the moment the dragon appeared, to when it was killed, not even a minute had passed. Seeing this, the soldiers were wide-eyed in surprise, unable to believe what they had just witnessed. They had thought they would have a tough battle with this fearsome dragon, but these adventurers had defeated it so easily?!

“Sure enough, this dragon is pretty weak.”

Looking at the dead dragon in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded and sighed in relief. Compared to the Black Giant Dragon he encountered before in Hailgen, this dragon was not as powerful, and didn’t unleash the dragon roar that contained strange and mysterious powers. At least to Duanmu Huai, it was just a very ordinary dragon.
