Chapter 127: Attack

The combat power displayed by the Giant Dragon’s fighter jet in the Otherworld might not have matched the group behind him, but in terms of speed, it was already overwhelming. Although wearing this thing, Zheng Yichen flapping his wings was a bit awkward, but after receiving a great thrust, his wings had now become wings for adjusting airflow, and there was no need for extra flapping at all.

The people chasing behind him saw the distance from Zheng Yichen getting farther and farther, and they also became somewhat anxious. It was already difficult for them to get here; most of the personnel in the campsite were maintaining the consumption of the Light Screen, and they basically would not leave the range of the link. They could leave only because they were strong enough; even if they exceeded the range of the link, they could still maintain the Light Screen, but there would be additional loss of power, and this effect was not significant.

They had so many people; dealing with a Little Dragon was easy, and each of them throwing a punch could crush him. Judging by his size, he was just a Juvenile Dragon, not even a Young Adult Dragon of the Dragon Clan, with his Dragon’s Aura not yet matured. His combat power was only equivalent to some powerful Magical Beasts. Among those present, who hadn’t taken the life of some powerful Magical Beast?

However, the prerequisite for being able to beat this Little Dragon was being able to reach him. But from the start until now, this Little Dragon had always kept a sufficiently far distance from them. More embarrassingly, their whole group couldn’t catch up!

Originally, even though he struggled hard with his two wings, he couldn’t pull away from them. Even though his flying speed was much faster than an ordinary Juvenile Dragon, not inferior to a Young Adult Dragon, and there was no Mana Fluctuation at all, this made them curious, but catching him would solve all curiosity. The key was they couldn’t catch him!

After Zheng Yichen attached that strange ‘armor’ to his own wings, his speed exploded, directly surpassing all of them!

“Let him suffer a bit!”

“Huh? They finally started attacking?” Zheng Yichen glanced at the rearview mirror hanging on the exoskeleton device on his wings and saw a Stream of Light quickly chasing towards him. He immediately adjusted his flying posture, turning the whole dragon upside down, and reached out a claw to grab the imposing Stream of Light. The moment he touched the Stream of Light, his body shook slightly, and the Stream of Light, stretched to nearly ten meters, was firmly grabbed in his hand, forming a ball of light.

“The speed of grabbing was affected; was the opponent too strong?” Zheng Yichen muttered. Grabbing Magic released by those weaker than him was almost instantaneous, but this time, there was a clear ‘delay,’ about two or three seconds.

At the same time, the quality of this Magic was very good. Zheng Yichen clenched his fist and compressed it hard, only reducing its volume by one-tenth. In short, if hit by this attack, his fate would be crashing directly.

“What!?” The Mage who released the Stream of Light was shocked to see Zheng Yichen reach out, grab it, and then throw it back along the same path. The Mage moved a finger, and a strong Magic Barrier blocked in front of him. The next moment, this barrier shattered, and the partially negated Stream of Light blasted him away. Fortunately, most of the Stream of Light’s power was absorbed by the barrier, not killing him directly, but still injuring him badly.

“This is impossible… the power of the reflected Magic actually increased additionally!?” The blasted Mage covered his mouth as he struggled to stand up from the ground, saying with extreme surprise. Reflective Magic existed, sure, but reflected Magic usually had its power reduced.

With this example, the subsequent attacks were not limited to single-target ones. Group Magic had a larger range, making reflection much harder to achieve, even leading to failure, as reflection-type Magic generally acted on single targets. Group Magic was AOE, covering a large area directly. Unless reflection Magic could cover such a large area, successful reflection was impossible…

But the consumption for an overly large range also multiplied. In such cases, rather than using reflection Magic, it was better to use strong enough Protection Magic or displacement Magic to avoid direct Magic strikes.

So, Zheng Yichen was unlucky. It wasn’t that he couldn’t grab range Magic, but some were beyond his limit. For example… a large rain of fire falling from the sky, how could he grab that? One by one?

Furthermore, a large volley of ice arrows—how could he grab that? Grabbing a dozen or so was fine, but with hundreds coming down, there was no place to grab. His claws couldn’t grow out of thin air to block in front of him like a shield.

It had to be said, Mages who could become bosses had intelligence above average. After suffering a loss, they quickly found a corresponding way, making Zheng Yichen very helpless. Such range Magic was precisely what he hated most. Perhaps the Dragon Clan’s Magic Resistance allowed him to withstand these attacks, but the propulsion device on his wings couldn’t hold up. Taking too many attacks, getting damaged, meant he had to replace it with a new one… and new ones he had for other needs; he didn’t want to use them now.

“Seriously! Just let me take the person away quietly, wouldn’t that be good!” Zheng Yichen muttered dissatisfied, pulling out the Sniper Rifle he had stuffed back into his pocket…

This thing still had quite a deterrence against the group of chasing boss Mages, but they had already thought of corresponding ways. Some generated a large Mist around themselves to hide their traces; others had many clone-like false bodies around them, making Zheng Yichen unable to judge which was the real target. As for those who didn’t know such Magic, the fellow Mages didn’t mind casting such a spell on them. Such Magic consumption wasn’t high.

“Darn it, couldn’t you all be a bit dumber…” Zheng Yichen muttered with a wry smile. This simple and rough response method was too effective against a Sniper. After all, for long-range sniping, even a small deceptive factor could lead to failure, let alone now when he couldn’t even see the target’s real body.

Looking at the environment behind him now, someone unaware might think a group of heavenly soldiers and generals were riding clouds and mist to chase some monkey!

“Too bad I’m not a monkey…” Muttering, Zheng Yichen lightly snorted. He admitted these people’s methods were indeed high, but did they think this would make him surrender? No way!

He reached into his pocket with a claw, fumbled around, and pulled out a pair of Goggles suitable for a dragon’s head, putting them on. Even if he didn’t understand the principle of infrared thermal imaging, he still had imagination. What he was wearing now was an Otherworld version of an infrared imager, with the principle based on detecting life fluctuations.

There were quite a few materials that could resonate with life fluctuations, some positive, some negative. Zheng Yichen had experimented; negative-related materials worked better. The most obvious example was that beings like zombies or Wraiths could detect hidden living things through walls…
