Silene Tegmine, this Silver Fairy, responded silently to Mahdi’s call and engaged in battle with the Dark Gold Dragon. She didn’t really have any special trump cards; the Silver Fairy species itself was inherently powerful. Not to mention, Silene had reincarnated fifteen times, and in seven of those, she had reached the Fourth Energy Level. Her combat experience was rich enough to predict all the moves of the Dark Gold Dragon. Additionally, being a life of the Domain of Void, fairies truly thrived in this environment. If it weren’t for the physical body’s lack of strength, one would really wonder if she could solo the Dark Gold Dragon.
Anfa’s trump card was simple — she only needed to infuse this prosthetic body with high concentration of True Dragon Blood, catalyze it to a state close to dragonization, and she could effortlessly reach the strength of the Third Energy Level. Coupled with a Third Energy Level Dragon Soul and exquisite dragon killing swordsmanship, her combat power was indeed not weak, and there was no need to demonstrate more.
As for ’Ian’... he was the Prophet, responsible for using foresight as an excuse to coordinate this group of young heroes with Mahdi, that is, Ian’s true form.
This group of young masters and misses really had never been commanded by anyone before; without direction, they were completely scattered.
As for the last, ’Golan,’ there’s no need to say more... While the others had Fourth Energy Level Heart Light Bodies as their trump cards, capable of executing full-force strikes or equipped with Fourth Energy Level reincarnation experience, she brought a Fifth Energy Level Split Soul.
If it weren’t for Yafada sealing the National Domain, the Split Soul within this Elf Girl would have summoned the power of the true form, and a single finger could have made everyone, including the Dark Gold Dragon, fall to their knees.
To be honest, it was only because Ian’s main body had cheats even greater than this group of people. Otherwise, just a mere peak of the Third Energy Level would easily be torn apart by these little monsters, and an ordinary Fourth Energy Level couldn’t possibly kill them.
Accompanied by a group of cheating young heroes, the Black-Haired Knight maneuvered around the Dark Gold Dragon.
He could completely see that, essentially, the Dark Gold Dragon was an ’Echo.’ It merely injected itself into the Dark Gold Dragon, or rather, the body of the young Qing Steel Dragon, to control and use it for battle... which explained the lack of proficiency in control, and the inability to exercise full control.
Upon this realization, even this body was probably only recently catalyzed... that’s why it required a large amount of precious Dragon Blood and High Energy Level Bloodline for further optimization.
And Ian’s objective was not to crush this extremely powerful Fourth Energy Level Dragon Body, but to find the vessel of the ’Echo’ within it and shatter that weak point with a single deadly strike.
This was not difficult. With the assistance of Foresight View and the Silver Chip, he quickly located where the Echo was... neither in the brain nor the spinal cord, but under the heart, within the ’gastric sac’ protected by the Dragon Bone!
Without Foresight View, who would have thought? In an instant, Ian understood that the Echo was not simply data; it had a physical entity as a vessel, placing itself in the spacious gastric sac, and through this centralized position, it controlled the entire Dragon Body!
——An opportunity must be found to destroy the ’Echo’s True Form’ within the gastric sac... at least sever its connection with the Dragon Body!
That was Ian’s true goal.
However... even though he discovered the true form and weak point of the Dark Gold True Dragon, it remained highly challenging.
Especially as everyone was astounded to find that the learning speed of the Dark Gold Dragon was terrifying.
During the battle, the Dark Gold Dragon’s control over its body became increasingly proficient, and the intervals during which it couldn’t defend against attacks grew shorter and shorter.
It was continually acquiring data to refine its combat abilities, improving itself!
"Mahdi, this dragon may never have fought before, so it simply didn’t know how to battle..."
Avoiding another breath attack from the Dark Gold Dragon, a cold sweat broke out as Gaer shouted to the Black-Haired Knight: "But now, using us as training dummies, it quickly learned a series of Primordial Essence Control Techniques... I estimate, in another ten minutes, its attack and defense intervals would only be one or two seconds! By then, except for you, Aina Golan, none of us would survive!"
"More than that." The Black-Haired Knight didn’t deny Gaer’s expectation; he even coldly said more accurate data: "An hour from now, this guy could use data iterations to master genuine Fourth Energy Level combat methods... by then, none of us would survive."
"Then why don’t you use your invincible Unyielding Fortress to think of a way!" The werewolf boy grumbled: "You were so smooth battling us before, why are you faltering at slaying a dragon now?"
"I’m working on it! Don’t rush! I’m more anxious than you are!" The Knight’s eyes lit up with a silver glow, and through gritted teeth, he said: "I temporarily have an idea..."
[No, you don’t stand a chance]
At this moment, the Dark Gold Dragon’s voice forcefully cut into their conversation: [Because I have already comprehended the essence of the Sublimation Path... so that’s how it is, mobilizing the Essence of the body requires ’will,’ while spiritual energy manipulation requires ’impulse’ or ’emotion’...]
[Finally, combined with both using ’belief’...]
"Crap! High concentration Aetheric reaction!"
At that moment, Elg’s amazed cry rang out from the other side: "The enemy has started actively extracting Primal Aether!"
At this moment, having halted its assault, the Dark Gold Dragon assumed a ’defensive energy-gathering’ posture and took a deep breath.
Its massive, towering body continuously emitted pure white mist and bright golden light; the enormous pair of golden crystal wings on its back rippled with waves, a Mystical Phenomena resulting from the overflow of vast power.
