Bear School Astartes

The sound of the Qilin’s hooves is crisp and powerful.

A blue and white figure, laced with electric light, flashes constantly beside the Terror Dragon, as wild as a black and red Demon God.

With this enhanced mobility, Lann could observe the situation from a more comprehensive perspective.

The Demon Hunter grasped the pale mane extending from the seams of the Magic Horse Harness on the Qilin, but at the Ancient Dragon’s head, that neatly broken crystal horn.

Currently, nearly one-sixth of its length hasn’t fully grown or topped.

As a key control organ for the Qilin, its azure horn still has a tip that hasn’t grown out, meaning the Qilin’s lightning control ability hasn’t returned to its peak state.

Now, it can cover its body surface with thunder and affect the surrounding electric charge environment.

But wanting to casually summon thunderclouds and unleash ultra-powerful storms like before is not quite feasible in this state.

If the Qilin were in perfect condition right now, having it drop a thunderstorm on the Terror Dragon’s head might have prompted it to loosen its grip.

After all, the Terror Dragon is weak against lightning.

But there’s no ’if’ on the battlefield.

The Terror Dragon, with a ’Green Dragon Greatsword’ clamped in its jaws, had no space to roar at the moment.

It just stared frantically at its target, as it did before.

The long, rectangular body tilted upward, its effort to rise resembling a mountainside ready to collapse at any moment!

Still relying on the swaying of its elongated body as a center of gravity, its thick and heavy tail served as a stabilizer, executing a sweeping and snake-like back-and-forth bite!

But now, with a green dragon in its mouth, the Terror Dragon’s attack range has doubled tremendously!

Previously, it crushed and bit like a steamroller, but now it’s more like a large-scale bombardment!

Rong Buqiu exclaimed in Lann’s arms, seeing the combat stance of the Terror Dragon for the first time, having only heard of the creature before.

The Qilin shook its head, mane on its neck flying, then prepared to activate its body again to evade the Terror Dragon’s sweeping bites.

Although it’s an Ancient Dragon, having encountered many new things with Lann, it doesn’t think being an Ancient Dragon is anything special.

Who’s to say if this terrifying-looking Terror Dragon bites me, I can endure it.

But just as the Qilin wanted to rely on its experience to move to the rear side, evading the attack peak of the Terror Dragon, Lann tugged its mane.

The Qilin, lacking direct combat experience against this Terror Dragon, had entirely mistaken its response tactics.

It assumed such a massive Terror Dragon couldn’t flexibly change direction while attacking.

But Lann knew perfectly well how strong that giant, dark green tail, almost as thick as the Terror Dragon’s waist, was in controlling balance and direction!

The Qilin saw only the Terror Dragon take its first step and prepared to move rearward.

But if it really ran thus, when the Qilin just stopped, the Terror Dragon’s next head swing would smash the green dragon onto the Qilin!

One hit later, in the Qilin’s stumbling, its speed advantage would be gone. And in such circumstances, the Terror Dragon would be nearly within reach.

And the trust built through its long cooperation with Lann led the Qilin, despite some reluctance, to snort and act according to Lann’s guidance.

Instead of retreating backward, it charged straight at the Terror Dragon as if to plow down a layer of the mountains!

This didn’t align with the Qilin’s combat judgment but was unexpectedly effective.

At Lann’s signal, the Qilin felt it hardly exerted much strength to accelerate.

Just slipping under the Terror Dragon’s foot at the right moment, its furious and terrifying attack was already behind them.

Didn’t even graze them.

Astounded, the Qilin looked back; the Terror Dragon, due to its inertia, pounded the ground several times before halting.

But the Qilin was used to Lann’s precision and control in combat, a skill it couldn’t replicate.

And then, Lann tugged the Qilin’s mane once more.

The steed, flashing with blue and white electric light, vanished instantly!

A crackling sound of electricity accompanied the rhythmic hoofbeats.

Not just an electric sound, but the Qilin’s electrified hooves stepping on the very tip of the Terror Dragon’s tail laid on the ground.

Running up the solid muscle rod six to seven meters wide, the sound of scorching the muscles and scales!

The pain from the electrification, burning skin and flesh, for regular creatures, is nearly at the limit of physiological tolerance.

But to the Terror Dragon, it hardly reacts.

Its chaotic brain was just noting the enemy escaping its attacks, then trying to stop and turn back.

And Lann, having anticipated this turning maneuver, prompted the Qilin to charge upward immediately!

The Terror Dragon’s solid-backed muscles were even harder than the ground, allowing the Qilin to run swiftly on top.

In the blink of an eye, it leaped directly from the tail tip to the Terror Dragon’s back neck!

And then, the Qilin, having communicated with Lann earlier, formally began exerting its strength.

"Crackle~"

The deafening sound of electric currents surged through the Qilin’s body.

The Magic Horse Harness meticulously crafted by Margaret had rune fabric responsible for isolating electric currents that were buoyed up by the intense electricity.

Like waves rolling in the air.

The qilin’s azure horn on its head was just a bit away from being fully grown, affecting only its ability to manipulate external charge environments, and even control celestial phenomena.

As an Ancient Dragon of the New Continent, their true core power lies only in one thing... their bodies themselves, standing at the top of the biological chain!

If the bioelectricity produced by the qilin is released appropriately, it’s not much different compared to the lightning summoned from the sky!

The enormous wound torn open by the Green Dragon still existed on the neck and back muscles of the Terror Tyrannosaurus, emitting a fiery red glow.

Just the ripped-off flesh weighed as much as several people!

And around the uneven muscles where the qilin stands, faint blue light started to emerge.

This was a sign of extreme abnormalities in the charge environment.

The brightness of the blue light rapidly increased, soon becoming almost white!

Then "Boom~~~"

Thunder explodes!

High-voltage currents pierce the air, and the high-energy lightning causing vibrations in the air made all nearby creatures feel a lingering buzzing and echo in their ears.

It felt like their eardrums itched and tingled due to the trembling.

And even more painful for the Terror Tyrannosaurus, the direct target of the attack.

The neck and back, from which much flesh was taken by the Green Dragon, had just managed to close the wound under the rising metabolic rate, preventing more dragon attribute energy-rich bloody foam from spraying out.

Yet, the qilin’s lightning strike immediately hit almost the same spot again.

Only to say that the red, glowing neck and back, emitting hot white smoke in the cold wind like towering charcoal mountain muscles, were too conspicuous.

An easy target for attacks.

Furious high-voltage currents hit the neck and back area, penetrating through to the chest cavity. Logically, it should have caused some neurological twitching, or even cardiac arrest for the Terror Tyrannosaurus.

Not to mention that this Dragon Beast is inherently weak to thunder.

But surprisingly...

The neck and back blasted by high-voltage currents again erupted with huge blood mist like a fountain, even with shredded flesh and blood slurry.

Yet the Terror Tyrannosaurus still held the Green Dragon, silent.

No screams, no roars.

After releasing the lightning strike, the qilin immediately avoided the blood splashes, unwilling to be stained with dragon attribute energy, and was shocked!

It had struck the Terror Tyrannosaurus with lightning before. Although this creature was ferocious, it wouldn’t normally remain expressionless after being hit!

However, as soon as the qilin’s currents didn’t meet the expected effect, Lann and Rong Buqiu instantly jumped off the horse’s back in the blink of an eye!

They didn’t dwell on the surprise, but immediately began seeking remedies.

The Elu Cat let out a sharp "Meow," leaping from Lann’s shoulder and darting directly onto the nose bridge of the Terror Tyrannosaurus.

The special weapon of the Valley Raider Race—the Plundering Saber, as peculiar sharp-edged blades assembled like a bladed sundial, was grasped by Rong Buqiu.

Simultaneously towards the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s nose bridge, like a frenzied treasure hunt, crazily digging and clawing away.

Lann did the same.

He stepped onto the neck and back of the Terror Tyrannosaurus, the thick dragon leather boots immediately emitting a ’sizzling’ sound as they corrode in the foul, dragon attribute energy-rich blood.

And then, the air above the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s back became highly condensed due to an abnormal technique.

[Heartless Style: Dragon Flash]!

After several rounds of enhancement, Lann could now easily employ this swordsmanship technique while wielding [Muddy Stream·Destruction].

Extremely striking Air Blade sweep across the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s back.

The high-density air caused the refraction of light, like suddenly a huge piece of transparent glass appeared mid-air.

Precision and extraordinary techniques, like carving beef, moved the high-density Qi Blade through those massive muscle’s existing scars.

Cutting further in from the weak points, penetrating deeper.

The amount of blood that erupted from the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s back this time was even more than when it forcibly twisted the Green Dragon’s claw!

As if a wave of blood separated in the middle from its swollen muscular back!

The rapidly circulating Air Blade drew out a bleeding volume far exceeding the normal value while preventing the corrosive dragon attribute blood from contaminating Lann’s body.

Up to this point, the Terror Tyrannosaurus finally seemed to have suffered sufficiently heavy damage.

Beaten into involuntary roars and screams in the throat.

Though the Elu Cat standing on its face was small, the Plundering Saber was the Valley Raider Race’s special weapon, particularly effective when clawing at monsters.

Rong Buqiu had even dug out two stray teeth from the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s nasal bone!

Thus the muscles in the Terror Tyrannosaurus’s tightly held mouth twitched uncontrollably, loosening the Green Dragon it held.

At the same time, a necklace in Tishaya’s hand began autonomously floating and emitted increasingly strong light on the distant hill of the core battlefield.
