A Dragon against the Whole World

Furthermore, the dense injuries on his body are not only because he is large and a clear target but also because the Sword Saint’s attack speed is too fast to completely dodge.

The key is the Sword Saint’s attacks contain some sort of ’infallible’ trait.

Galos can rely on his speed and reflexes to avoid absolute vital points like the heart, head, and eyes at critical moments, but every sword light from the opponent ends up landing on some part of his body.

Including the Sword Saint’s final, life-burning ultimate attack, Galos could not completely evade it.

Initially, it targeted Galos’s head.

Galos relied on the explosive speed brought forth by his evolved wings to perform a desperate evasive maneuver, thus dodging this fatal vital point, which resulted in the sword light piercing his chest and abdomen.

Otherwise, if his head were struck away, even his Dragon Jade within might not bring him back to life.

’Almost disregarding physical defenses’ and ’attacks infallibly hit’—these two traits combined are already terrifying, and only because Galos’s physical attributes are staggeringly strong can he bear the Sword Saint’s attack, break the opponent’s domain and finally kill him completely with a final surge.

If his physical attributes or recovery capabilities were slightly weaker, he would have likely been chopped into bits before the domain shattered.

Yet, it is because of how strong the Legendary is that the reverse slaughter by the Red Iron Dragon becomes so incredible.

Before him, the recorded instances of mortals reversing and slaughtering Legendaries on Bernardo Planet are dated back thousands of years, even including Luo Sern Saint King, who only drew with a Legendary at level 20.

Additionally, Galos, through inherited knowledge, understood the origin of those traits.

When mortals transcend life and reach the Legendary realm, not only can they comprehend fate to shape domains, they also have the opportunity to transform and elevate certain formidable skills or proficiencies they originally mastered to make them even more powerful ’Legendary traits’.

Thus, in theory, the traits possessed by each Legendary powerhouse are not completely identical.

Even if one encounters another Legendary Sword Saint at level 21 in the future, the opponent may not possess traits that ignore defenses or ensure attacks hit but might have other equally troublesome strengths.

There are many other terms for Legendary traits in different inheritances and records.

Proficiencies, templates... the names vary, but the concept they refer to is generally the same.

Moreover, the number and strength of Legendary traits typically increase and enhance as the Legendary realm level rises, and are closely related to the innate potential of the Legendary creature itself.

Whether a Legendary is powerful at the same level, their traits play an extremely important role.

For example, on average, the number of traits in the Legendary Dragon Race surely surpasses those in Legendary humans of the same level.

"No Legendary should be underestimated, regardless of their race or profession."

"Who knows if a seemingly ordinary Legendary carries a trait that greatly restrains me?"

Galos, having defeated a Legendary Sword Saint, did not let arrogance fill him; his mindset remains calm and level-headed.

Meanwhile, an idea sprouts in his mind.

"Could my adaptation talent work against Legendary traits? For instance, could it evolve corresponding Legendary resistances, causing those troublesome traits to have diminished effects on me, or even... become completely ineffective?"

He pondered in his heart.

There is no doubt this is an evolution direction full of potential.

Unfortunately, there clearly isn’t a way right now to find a living Legendary to cooperate and attempt this. It can only be set aside for the future, to see if a suitable opportunity arises.

Meanwhile, Iron Dragon Solrog looked down at the dark mass of captives on the ground, bringing up a practical concern.

"There are quite a few human prisoners. How should we deal with them?"

Samantha immediately showed a fierce look, her Dragon Eyes flashing with cruel light, suggesting: "Kill them! Turn them all to ash! Use their blood and wails to proclaim our Dragon Group’s ultimate authority, ensuring all who dare peep at Sel Wilderness know the consequences of opposing us!"

Her murderous proposal was directly ignored by both Solrog and Galos.

The Red Iron Dragon contemplated for a few seconds, saying: "Let’s first see if Theo Kingdom would be willing to pay a sufficient price to ransom their soldiers."

He has never been the kind to derive pleasure from slaughter and brutality.

As long as conditions are suitable and profits are ample, he is also willing to resolve issues at the negotiation table, as this often brings more long-term benefits than mere massacre.

"A valuable Legendary dead, so many soldiers captured... They might not swallow this."

Iron Dragon Solrog said quietly, "After decades of relative peace, the land of Sel Wilderness might soon be engulfed in the smoke of war again."

Upon hearing this, Samantha not only shows no concern but instead nods with intensity, flame of battle burning in her eyes.

"The Wilderness is ours! It was ours in the past, is ours now, and will forever be ours!"

"Anyone trying to snatch territory from the mouths of Dragons must be prepared to pay a terrible price! This may not erupt immediately, but it is unavoidable and will eventually arrive!"

Seeing Galos could shatter a Legendary, her caution and wisdom have faded, now filled with thoughts of rivers of blood.

The Red Iron Dragon did not express further opinions on this topic; he simply raised his head slowly, gazing at the distant and serene sky.
