Chapter 468: Brute Force Makes Miracles

If this dragon could just find an opening, he would call for help right away… but sadly, such a plan didn’t hold much meaning. That Derivative Witch had probably seen through it… maybe. Augusta wasn’t sure whether she had truly figured out his trouble, or simply wanted to whip him. He was miserable!

Uncertain, Augusta had a new idea in his mind again. His back promptly suffered another lash, and as he cried out in pain, he became completely convinced: the cruel human woman behind him indeed had the ability to see what he was thinking, or at least to tell that he was harboring bad intentions.

How annoying! She gave no chance at all. Augusta thought resentfully. Then the intense pain in his back made him, who still had some ability to move, writhe and struggle on the ground. “Aaaaaah… I was wrong! I won’t dare to think too much anymore! I’ll do my job properly, please don’t keep whipping me!!”

“…Wait for them to pass.” Zheng Yichen whispered to Deya. “Afterwards, I’ll rush in to rescue them. You deal with that Derivative Witch, okay?”

“Mm.” Deya nodded, replying with focused expression. This witch was a Derivative Witch born from the remains of the Undying Witch, not a true witch. But she definitely possessed some abilities of the Undying Witch, such as sharp perception of souls. Right now, Deya had to concentrate on hiding herself, avoiding being detected by the other’s soul fluctuations and exposing their position. As for Zheng Yichen, he carried a Magic Artifact provided by Irene, so he didn’t need extra hiding.

The Red Dragon Augusta passed by their hiding spot. After receiving enough lessons, Augusta no longer dared to have any extra thoughts. He walked forward honestly. He didn’t dare to harbor any more ill intentions, but he could still think about other things. It seemed that as long as he wasn’t thinking about rebellion or escape, the other’s reaction was rather passive.

For example, what he was thinking about now: with his body this huge and his mana sealed, how was he supposed to find Zheng Yichen? Keep flying like this? What a joke… Without the boost of mana, he could indeed fly, but flying that way was not only exhausting, but also couldn’t last long.

Heavens, she couldn’t really intend for him to fly all the way there, could she? After walking for a while, the cruel human woman behind still showed no indication of her intentions. This made Augusta particularly uneasy, unable to guess what she planned to do… but he soon found out!!

The woman’s hand took on an ethereal quality, then plunged directly into the back of Augusta’s head. Augusta felt his soul shuddering violently. His perspective also split: one perspective came from his body, while the other was from his soul. This was a phenomenon that only occurred when the soul was forcibly pulled out of the body. It was rare, but Augusta absolutely did not want to experience this!!

“No, no, no… please don’t…”

Augusta understood how this woman planned to take him to find someone. The body was too large to compress, but the soul could be. Even a dragon’s soul, in the hands of a sufficiently power ful person, could be compressed to the size of a fist. It would be lightweight and extremely portable. But once the soul was pulled out… wouldn’t this dragon die!? Even if he didn’t die, after leaving the body, merely existing in a soul state would bring immense insecurity.

He only had this one body. What if something happened to it? Even if he recovered, what good would a damaged body be?

He struggled, but the woman behind him ignored his screams. Her hand, plunged into the back of Augusta’s head, slowly pulled outward. A Dragon Soul wasn’t easy to pull out. With other humans, even dealing with a Young Dragon would take one or two hours, or even longer. As for dealing with an Adult Dragon, generally it would take at least half a day. But this Derivative Witch’s efficiency was far beyond what those others could compare to.

In less than half a minute, Augusta’s soul had been mostly pulled out. And as the soul was extracted, the pulling speed became faster and faster. Just as Augusta felt despair, a figure suddenly appeared, interrupting the soul pulling. Augusta felt his soul return to his body. Though his body was weak, this tangible feeling made him feel as if reborn. He had never thought a human woman could be so beautiful!!

No! She was practically a goddess!!

Watching Deya, who was already fighting the Derivative Witch, Augusta let out an excited dry howl. Finally, someone came to rescue this dragon!!

Elsewhere, Zheng Yichen had infiltrated (forcibly demolished his way into) the secret chamber imprisoning the other two dragons. It was an enormous chamber. A Black Dragon and a Green Dragon lay weakly on the ground. The only thing that could make them shriek with full vigor was the whip of that Derivative Witch.

“Hmm… a Human?” The Green Dragon lying on the ground saw Zheng Yichen appear, a hopeful glint appearing in her eyes. “Are you here to rescue us?”

“Oh?” Zheng Yichen raised an eyebrow. This Green Dragon had a nice voice.

“That’s not a Human… I remember you. You actually dare to come here on your own…” The Black Dragon squinted her eyes at Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen’s appearance wasn’t a secret on the Magic Weapon Forum. Regarding this fellow clan member who liked mingling among humans, the Black Dragon wasn’t very fond. Not content with being a proper dragon, he had to create some alchemy contraption to act human. Did he really think creating such an image would make him accepted by humans? Too naïve!

She just never expected that now she would have to rely on this clan member she had once scorned.

“It’s fine if you don’t remember me.” Zheng Yichen approached the Black Dragon. Compared to the Red Dragon’s somewhat bulky build, the Black Dragon appeared much more athletic, while the Green Dragon was a bit more petite… Hmm, in the Dragon Clan’s aesthetic, this was probably the equivalent of a fit beauty and a delicate lady?

Tsk, whichever it was, in his eyes, distinguishing dragons basically came down to color. Faces? To be honest, he felt these two dragons’ faces were about ninety percent similar to Augusta’s. Wasn’t this already a symptom of severe face blindness within the Dragon Clan?

The noise outside was loud. The Barrier preventing sound from escaping had been destroyed when the fight began. Hearing the intense commotion of battle, Zheng Yichen didn’t waste any more time. He reached out and removed the Seals on the Black Dragon and Green Dragon. For this type of sealing magic, others needed finesse, but he just needed to smash it with mana. Brute force makes miracles. If a Seal couldn’t be broken, it just meant not enough mana was used!

It was like using strong acid on a lock. Can’t break it open? Just pile on the quantity and it’ll open. No other issues. After the restraints were removed, the Black Dragon and Green Dragon’s weakness quickly eased once they could use mana again. The Green Dragon recovered much faster than the Black Dragon. She possessed some kind of restorative ability, and could use it as soon as her mana recovered.
