Chapter 134: Should Have Been Painted Gold

Boom —

With a bright explosion, a red shadow plummeted from the sky toward the ground…

“This! Is! Impossible!!”

Having barely stabilized his body before hitting the ground, the Red Dragon stared at the sky and roared angrily. The magic meteorite was of the Fire Attribute. As a Red Dragon, his resistance to fire was extremely high. According to the normal script, he should have blocked the magic meteorite, then tossed it back at Zheng Yichen. But reality was, the moment the magic meteorite touched him, it exploded!

Not only that, the blazing flames from the explosion gave him a rare, burning pain. Although his strong Magic Resistance prevented any real damage, his Fire Resistance did nothing at all. I’m a damn Red Dragon! A Red Dragon who could soak in lava! Now your damn magic meteorite makes me feel the pain of being burned? That’s just not right!

“Hah~” Zheng Yichen glanced at the roaring Red Dragon. He already knew that the magic released by his mana could bypass attribute resistance. As for Magic Resistance… that couldn’t be ignored. If even that could be bypassed, it would be like ignoring physical defenses altogether.

Magic Resistance was more about endurance against magic—in game terms, magic defense, as well as mitigating negative effects and duration. Attribute resistance was calculated separately. For a Red Dragon facing Fire Magic, he had high resistance. If the max fire resistance was 255, his might be around 200… but it wasn’t absolute.

Of course, having high fire resistance didn’t mean his resistance to other magics was low. That depended on Magic Resistance. Fire Attribute resistance just gave him excellent defense against fire-based magic. If hit by another type of magic, if strong enough, he’d feel cold from ice magic or numbness from lightning magic. Only with fire magic, even if injured, it wouldn’t feel particularly painful… Well, this pain purely came from the magic impact, not from burning.

So, after feeling the burning pain, the Red Dragon couldn’t help roaring. Beings that could make him feel burning pain definitely existed, but one showing up on a Little Dragon was as absurd as an adult being lifted by a child using one arm!

“Let me see… this Light Refraction Art might be useful.” Flipping through his Magical Grimoire, Zheng Yichen muttered. By now, he was sure the people below couldn’t come up, so his earlier nervousness lessened. He could spare more thought to consider countermeasures. And he actually came up with a pretty good method!

Since the Light Screen converted White Moonlight, he just needed White Moonlight to shine into it from a different angle, right?

By the time the Red Dragon shattered all the red spears and turned back, Zheng Yichen had already reached the edge of the Light Screen, ready to cast a large-scale Light Refraction Art. Watching the Red Dragon pounce down with force, Zheng Yichen tapped the Magic Weapon Summoning Book, and a High-Level Magic Soldier suited to his size—yes, the Otherworld version of “Sword of Promised Victory”—appeared in his hand. Of course, due to the Wind Element Magic enhancement, neither the Red Dragon nor those watching Zheng Yichen noticed the sword’s form; they only saw the air near his hand distort for a moment before disappearing.

He thought about it, then put it away. Light Tide and such were still his trump cards. With that plus the Magic Weapon Summoning Book acting as a nuclear battery, he was sure one light cannon blast would pummel the Red Dragon beyond recognition!

But if used now, others would be prepared later. It should be used when truly necessary.

Like after subduing the Loli who lost control and went Berserk, using it to escape: “Forget it, let’s do this instead!”

Zheng Yichen curled his lip slightly, grabbed the floating Magic Weapon Summoning Book beside him, and shook it at the descending Red Dragon. The Red Dragon glared wide-eyed at the various Magic Arms that filled his vision, each pulsing with intense Mana Fluctuation. The next instant, frost, flames, and other attacks came flying at his face.

Among the few spears that hit him, aside from the tracking one, the others inflicted Curses upon impact… Curses were known for their persistence. Those that didn’t take effect were fine, but effective ones—even the Dragon Clan disliked touching them. On top of that, the alternating freeze and burn felt utterly miserable.

“If I’d known, I wouldn’t have painted this camo pattern; gold would have been better.” As for wasting Magic Arms like this, Zheng Yichen thought angrily: I spread the Magic Weapon Summoning Books everywhere these past months for this very moment! So what if it’s an Adult Dragon?

I’ll just smack you to death with a mana nuclear battery!

Though he was still wary of fighting everyone in the Campsite below, a single dragon? No big deal.

Tapping the Magic Weapon Summoning Book again, a double-bladed axe appeared in his claw. This thing, also called the Berserker’s Axe, was an Intermediate Magic Weapon. Zheng Yichen had maximized its effect replication and added a shattering attack. If the destructive effect belonged to special enhanced magic attacks, then shattering was the physical version. Besides the basic splash damage, it also had a healing magic enhancement, allowing the wielder to recover consumption more efficiently in battle.

Splash attack aside—only one dragon couldn’t utilize that—the shattering attack was key. After a brief charge, Zheng Yichen hurled the double-bladed axe with great force. As it left his hand, a loud sonic boom erupted!

“Roarrrrrr!!” Sensing danger, the Red Dragon crossed his claws before his face. Still dazed from the barrage of Magic Arms, he couldn’t avoid it now, watching helplessly as the imposing axe hammered toward him.

Crunch —

The heavy axe blade struck solidly on his blocking arms. The shattering effect imbued in the axe activated instantly. Hard Dragon Scales shattered and scattered, while blazing Dragon Blood sprayed downward with the falling scales…

As the Dragon Blood rained down, people below in the Campsite quickly dodged. Although Dragon Blood was a valuable thing—rumored to strengthen those who bathed in it—ordinary people couldn’t bear it. Like the Red Dragon’s blood now: those with insufficient constitution would be burned to ashes upon contact. To let Dragon Blood work effectively, one had to abandon all defense and rely solely on constitution to endure.

Of course, some who thought highly of themselves tried, but they turned to ash after touching just a little Dragon Blood.

“There’s more! Get down!!”

A ball of lightning flickered in Zheng Yichen’s palm. As he forcefully clenched his claw, the ball of light compressed violently until, with his fist fully closed, it was completely squeezed within. Fierce arcs of electricity danced on his fist. Seizing the moment the Red Dragon’s arms were severely injured, he punched the Red Dragon under the chin…
