Because, there’s also the existence of the ’Body of Light’!
[Aether Body 50%] — This is the power increase that the Body of Light can brutally apply directly to all ascension inheritances!
With this confidence, he took a step forward.
From the ground, the pitch-black Tiechen rose, floating in mid-air as if losing gravity, and the invisible wind and magnetic fields spun them, attaching them to the not yet fully regenerated Blood River Armament.
Soon, a suit of iron armor full of cracks and burning with red sparks was forged into shape, and the Knight slowly closed his face armor, locking eyes with the silent Dark Gold Colossus Dragon in the distance.
The unwavering resolve in the three remaining dragon eyes showed absolute confidence in its power and essence.
[I never intended to kill you]
Silver-blue light lit up in the dark pupils, and Mahdi’s lips curled into the wild smile ’Ian’ would never have: [Echo, I’m going to consume you—]
[Just like I devoured my sword, making you a part of me!]
No unnecessary words were exchanged.
The black-haired Knight stepped forward again, hundreds of spiderweb-like cracks spreading underfoot, then exploded.
With the Knight’s current strength and burst, just a light step would shatter the air and ground, and this time his advance was not just brute force ... it was also skill!
Metal nozzles suddenly jutted out along Mahdi’s spine, and with the rapid operation of the internal Flash Silver Skeleton, terrifying plasma jets propelled him forward!
A thunderous explosion erupted, and in an instant, an azure lightning bolt tore through the void, breaking the atmosphere!
At this moment, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon widened its eyes, unable to lock onto the Knight: [This speed... is already at the Fourth Energy Level!?]
No time to think more.
The Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, barely recovering action capability from the ’Vacuum Detonation,’ couldn’t do anything, or perhaps it saw it, but couldn’t stop it—in a violent explosion, the Behemoth could only use its wings and forelimbs to protect its abdomen, the previously targeted spot of ’Sun’s Fury’ and ’Vacuum Detonation,’ where the ’Echo’s True Form’ was located!
But this time, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon’s instinctive defense was a mistake.
Because Ian’s target was not the Echo’s True Form at all... but the body of the ’Dark Gold Colossus Dragon’!
An explosion suddenly occurred in mid-air, as if the throat of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon had been bombarded by artillery, countless scales exploded, turning into fragments scattered in the atmosphere, reflecting the surrounding molten sea’s light.
And the Knight, amidst the roars of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, arrived at the position he desired.
The Dragon’s vital scale... akin to the Human Signal Bone, in the ’data exchange port’ region!
In an instant, even the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon didn’t understand what the Knight was planning... the vital scale, though rumored to be a True Dragon’s weak point if attacked, was only because the intense concentration of nerves would result in extreme neuro pain—for an informational lifeform, such physical pain could at most affect their bodily control, but not disable their combat capability.
But, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon might have forgotten one thing.
That is, Mahdi was carrying the ’Silver Chip,’ that is, the so-called ’Radiance of the Stars.’
—Silver Chip, engage!
Treading on the dragon’s throat scales, Mahdi laughed wildly as he raised his right hand, silver nerves extended, directly linking with the nervous system at the vital scale.
[The Last Echo] heard a voice that made it feel incredible, unbelievable.
[Hello there, neighbor] That was Mahdi, or rather, Ian’s soul voice, gently laughing yet sending shivers down its spine: [Indeed, you’re just a tenant of this Dragon Body—so let me squeeze in too!]
[After all, I am proficient in neural networks and soul programming!]
The silver soul, carrying the radiance of stars and the Body of Light, surged toward the origin of the soul.
To all others, as Mahdi regained his state, he launched an astonishingly rapid charge, once again knocking the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon down, pinning it into the magma sea.
Thereafter, both sides fell into silence, and the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, which still had some vigor and posed a significant threat before, became utterly silent, no longer moving.
Lingering at the edge of the soon-to-be shattered Test Space, ’Golan’ stared at the distant battle scene, clicking his tongue: [Previously, when that group of youngsters displayed their trump cards, it was already absurd. And Gonta even dared to give his all-out attack to his nephew... isn’t he worried Gaer would blow himself up?]
[Oh, that might actually be his intention]
Shaking his head slightly, now, the old man’s soul plunged into silence, Campari pondered: [As for now... I think they might have mutually crippled each other]
[Golan, we must eliminate them first]
[Eh?] Hearing his ancestor’s decision, Golan’s soul slightly wavered, as if showing reluctance: [Come on? Great-grandfather, I think it’s better not to go now. They’re stalemating, though seemingly immobile, they’re surely ready to counterattack powerfully!]
