Tale of the Red Dragon Without Dragon's Might-Chapter 468 - 460: The Beginning of the Great Battle

The Vajra Body couldn’t completely immunize against the Lightning from the Ocean Goddess, but it could reduce part of the damage, thus Leon wasn’t seriously hurt... even without damage reduction, given the many Heavenly Immortal Pills he had consumed, plus the Bone Shedding and Rebirth, taking a Lightning strike wasn’t much of a problem.

Even so, Leon’s heart was in turmoil for a simple reason: it had been too long since he had bled, he almost forgot what pain felt like. The long-lost pain ruthlessly pierced his arrogant pride. He thought that as long as he had Mana, he was invincible, but it turned out he just hadn’t encountered a strong opponent.

Is this the wrath of a god?

Leon stood on the coast, looking at the Ocean Goddess with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

The Ocean Goddess was the deity of the ocean, aquatic creatures, and the unknown deep sea. Her domain also included some unclear concepts, such as trade winds, long voyages, and unpredictability. It is said that she easily becomes angry, and when angry, her fury is unstoppable like a tsunami. She rarely smiles, and smiles often represent complacency rather than true laughter.

"Kneel and beg, you insignificant reptile!"

"Submit to me now, kneel before me, and I might spare your life."

On the monstrous waves, with octopus-like hair and wearing a crown resembling crab claws, the Ocean Goddess sat grandly on a golden chariot, reins in hand. The chariot was drawn by eight sea horses, hybrids with the upper body of a horse and a fish tail for the lower body.

"I am just in need of a maid." Leon spat, his saliva tinged with a bit of blood, "If you are willing to be my maid, serving me tea and porridge... as long as you’re mine, I will allow your worship to spread, as my maid’s faith."

"Beast!"

"You’re really requesting humiliation."

The Ocean Goddess raised her trident, and the monstrous waves beneath her stirred instantly, engulfing everything from the sea surface with an unstoppable force to crash towards Leon.

The Ocean Goddess meted out vengeance on those who disrespected her, never caring about who got caught in the crossfire or died. She paid no mind to the fact that behind Leon was Port City Savari, which the monstrous waves might swallow entirely, killing thousands in a blink. Many of those people were her followers.

Leon saw the monstrous waves, fully aware that just with Gathering Form and Scattering Energy, he could evade them. Yet, he did not dodge, letting the hundreds of meters high monstrous waves crash down, stirring a sky full of spray... The lightning imbued with Divine Power could hurt him, but that didn’t mean other attacks could as well.

The Ocean Goddess watched as the monstrous waves, carrying ships and debris, crashed against the Red Dragon, but the Red Dragon remained unmoved and unscathed, the corners of its mouth curling up.

The rumors were true; that Red Dragon, besides having Three Heads and Six Arms and swords, had a body harder than refined gold. It was last injured in Elf City Danalan, where the God of Archery among the elves secretly intervened.

After the last injury, the Red Dragon quickly reached a peace agreement with the elves, clearly still smarting. Until recently, it drove the elves from Danalan, appearing to have completely healed.

This time, She personally intervened, the Saint descending, determined to give the Red Dragon a severe beating, one it would never forget in its lifetime. Thinking thus, the Ocean Goddess saw the Red Dragon open its mouth towards her, spewing raging flames akin to those that had just destroyed her statue. Those flames were not ordinary flames...

Leon did not move for a reason, taking deep breaths, gathering strength, all for this moment.

Even if it was not the true form, just a Saint Avatar, ordinary damage could absolutely not hurt even a hair of the Ocean Goddess, but the Samadhi True Fire was different.

Leon watched as his Samadhi True Fire struck the Ocean Goddess, who appeared to have either been caught off guard or arrogantly resisted, burning her to the point where she fell from sky to water, feeling a bit excited inside.

The Ocean Goddess fell into the ocean and hadn’t stood back up since.

Is it over just like that?

Leon did not believe the Ocean Goddess would be finished so easily. He watched vigilantly at the eerily silent sea surface. About a minute later, the sea suddenly surged, a massive whirlpool formed at the point where the Ocean Goddess had fallen, followed by several enormous, sucker-covered tentacles breaking through the water, each as thick as a warship...

Indeed, it wasn’t that simple. Accompanied by a roar, a super giant octopus emerged from the water.

Judging by the aura emanating from the super giant octopus, it could be determined that it was either the Ocean Goddess’s summoned sea monster, or it was the Ocean Goddess herself. It’s rumored that during battles, the Ocean Goddess favors transforming into sea monsters, from octopus to sharks, including hermit crabs wearing sunken ships as shells, among other favored forms like sea serpents.

The lower half of the super giant octopus was underwater, its true size unknown, but even the part above water was significantly larger than Leon. Even if Leon spread his wings, it wouldn’t make a difference.

Leon looked at the super giant octopus, whose body was definitely more than ten times his size, with no intention of jumping into the sea for a brawl. In terms of water combat, he relied entirely on the transformation into a Kraken, but against that super giant octopus, the Kraken would only end up being effortlessly torn apart.

"A singular technique can dominate. It’s not about being fancy, as long as it’s effective." Leon wrinkled his nose, took another deep breath, and spewed out Samadhi True Fire.

A disdainful sneer flowed through the eyes of the super giant octopus. It casually lifted a tentacle, causing the seawater to rise with its motion, forming a water wall to block the Samadhi True Fire, unleashing an earth-shaking roar, steam soaring into the sky, painting the sky stark white.

Leon stopped the Samadhi True Fire, raised his hand to release a Hand Palm Bomb, Lightning spreading through the seawater to the super giant octopus, flashing briefly and then dissipating.

Leon picked up the sword again. freewebnøvel_com

"You have Three Heads and Six Arms, but I have eight tentacles. Let’s see who is mightier." The super giant octopus’s voice hissed over the waves, its eight tentacles suddenly submerging, then rising again, each arm wielding a different weapon——

Sword, scimitar, trident, war axe, nail head hammer, war pick, dagger, and a bow.

This was the power of octopus tentacles; curved into a U-shape, they could wield weapons and also serve as legs. The super giant octopus scuttled onto shore with spider-like agility, crawling towards Leon.

This creature’s Challenge Level must be at least 30.

Having a moment of fanciful thoughts, Leon sheathed his sword. He had self-awareness; the bit of swordsmanship he practiced after transforming into a Marilith was good enough against ordinary people, but why should he challenge a deity?

Especially when he only had swords while the opponent wielded eighteen different weapons. The tentacles’ length and flexibility far surpassed his arms, with a body overwhelmingly large and strength undoubtedly greater.

"Who wants to fight you?"

Leon decisively retracted the Three-headed Six-armed Dharma Body, utilizing Fatian Xiangdi, his stature wildly inflated like a balloon, transforming into a giant standing between heaven and earth.
