Chapter 302: Chapter 217: The Ashes of the Demon Dragon

Meanwhile, a hunter shook the "Silence Bell," creating a silent domain.

It could reduce the disturbance caused by combat within the range; though not very effective against high-level battles, it was better than nothing.

Four fireballs soared into the air, illuminating the area.

In the midst of countless black decaying matter, a giant, worm-like monster lay at the center, its back a massive gash from which countless bones and putrid flesh bloomed like flowers.

Atos’s blade struck down, leaving only a charred mark.

The battle then commenced.

The Corrupted Demon Dragon no longer had any dragon features and resembled a ferocious giant insect.

It rushed and collided rapidly amongst the decaying matters, attacking with its claws, head, and half a massive tail.

Atos, his body flickering with Thunder Light, swelled into a blue thunder giant, holding the Thunder Shield in his left hand and the Thunder Blade in his right, confronting the demon dragon head-on.

The other four hunters, each wielding their weapons, launched fierce attacks on the dragon’s side and belly.

The demon dragon’s rotten head and giant tail couldn’t reach this blind spot, and it had to turn around extensively to drive them off.

But Atos strongly restricted the demon dragon’s movements, not only slashing with his Thunder Blade but also sending out Thunder Magma Ropes from his body to bind the dragon’s limbs, limiting its mobility.

Mephit constantly used ice spells to interrupt the demon dragon’s attacks.

The battle was going well, so Rod didn’t rashly intervene.

However, the Spiritual Energy of the demon dragon was extremely thick, and their attacks did not cause substantial damage to it.

As time passed, Atos grew agitated, shouting loudly, "Put more effort into it! We can’t drag this out for long!"

Four hunters took Potions at the same time, their Spiritual Energy growing brighter—Rod guessed they were probably above the Seventh Level.

But even such strong Spiritual Energy attacks still failed to inflict effective damage on the demon dragon.

"Boss, it’s too tough!"

"My blade got corrupted!"

Worse still, as the battle continued, finally some monsters were disturbed.

At first, it was lowly creatures like maggot-men and plague rats, but soon enough, stronger monsters like undead hounds and Mutated Demon Spiders also arrived.

Atos was very anxious; these monsters were not strong, but they were very tricky to deal with, which was one of the reasons no one wanted to clean the sewers.

And here they were, in fierce combat with the Corrupted Demon Dragon—how could they spare the effort to handle these nuisances?

But to his surprise, Rod, who had been motionless thus far, suddenly stepped forward.

He pulled out his Spirit Gun and started shooting wildly.

Each True Silver Bullet hit the monsters’ weak spots precisely, one-shotting weaker creatures like the maggot-men and plague rats.

As he fired madly, Rod kept reloading bullets, and the seven-bullet-capacity Spirit Gun exhibited the effect of firing unlimited bullets.

The muzzle of his gun moved like lightning, and even under such a high frequency of shooting, he maintained a hundred percent hit rate.

When facing undead hounds or Mutated Demon Spiders, which couldn’t be killed with True Silver Bullets, he switched to another type of bullet. With one shot, the monsters were frozen in rigid stasis, then he’d raise his right hand and finish them off with a single move.

Most outrageously, sometimes with just a glare or a turn of his head, the monsters would seemingly be killed by an invisible gaze, turning directly into ashes.

Atos was dumbfounded by the efficiency and finally understood why Rod could move so freely in the sewers.

It was not just because of his extraordinary Spiritual Vision.

Atos couldn’t help but exclaim, "As expected of the King of the Sewers!"

"Brothers, let’s go all out!"

The four hunters shouted in unison: "Yes, Boss!"

They intensified their offensive, and the Spiritual Energy of the demon dragon finally showed a significant weakening.

Seizing the moment, Atos roared, his Spiritual Energy exploded, and Thunder Light surged wildly as his size doubled. Coiling electric snakes covered his body, making him seem like the Thunder God incarnate.

The four hunters shouted together: "Boss is using Thunder Strike! Assist him!"

One hunter spewed dozens of fireballs that bathed the battlefield in a red glow, rejuvenating everyone’s spirits and activating their Spiritual Energy.

Another hunter slapped the ground with both hands, and a giant spike emerged from underneath, lifting the demon dragon up.

The other two hunters struck hard at the dragon’s belly, launching it into the air.

Atos opened his right hand, and a ray of Thunder Light appeared in his palm, expanding hundreds of times in a flash.

"Die!"

With a mighty shout, Atos hurled the Thunder Light toward the dragon’s underbelly.

The massive blue light, like a spear, pierced the demon dragon through and exploded, blasting it into pieces.

"We won!"

"We’ve won!"

"Hahaha, so much for the legendary Corrupted Demon Dragon!"

"That’s right, four Fifth Level Combatants, one Third Level Combatant, and one Ninth Level Combatant, and we took it down easily."

"A Strong Monster is nothing after all, I feel like with our strength, we could even challenge one of the legendary Ancient Gods!"

"Shut up!"

Atos shouted loudly, not only not dispersing the Thunder Light but also taking up a new Thunder Blade in his hand.

The hunters also sensed something was amiss; they saw the demon dragon’s fragmented corpses wriggling on the ground.

The corrupted lumps of flesh, along with the black blood, flowed back together in streams, merging into one.

"Undead!"

Atos bellowed:

"It has the Undead characteristic!"

No sooner had he spoken than the giant Corrupted Demon Dragon reappeared before them.

It seemed unharmed, no different from before the battle began.

Its robust Spiritual Energy was rapidly recovering, and a powerful Spiritual Power Field enveloped every part of its body without a single flaw.
