The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 935 - 0932: Stay Further Away (Second Update)

Chapter 935: Chapter 0932: Stay Further Away (Second Update)

Facing the relentless approach of the Scorpio-tailed Lion, the seventeen Pegasi raised their heads and neighed, their Magic Power swelling as if they wanted to strike first. However, the Scorpio-tailed Lion was not eager to attack. Through its slow approach, it exerted a strong sense of oppression on the Pegasi, forcing them into chaos of their own making.

The Scorpio-tailed Lion aimed to triumph within the turmoil, to capture the prey it desired.

But the Pegasi were not fools; they did not scatter and always stayed closely together to face the Scorpio-tailed Lion.

Such standoff lasted for a full two hours. Finally, in a test of will and patience, the Scorpio-tailed Lion came out on top. A small group of Pegasi could no longer endure; they changed direction and took off running.

Once one Pegasus fled, all the others began to escape in an instant.

With a whoosh, the entire Pegasus Herd flapped their wings, flying up above the forest.

The eyes of the Scorpio-tailed Lion flashed with malevolent light, revealing a streak of electricity as it too spread its giant bat wings, swiftly giving chase, relentlessly pursuing one Pegasus in particular.

“Let’s go, Bard. We’ll follow!” Liszt said.

“Woo yi ya!” the Formless Dragon Bard responded softly, its form shifting like a teleport, easily following behind the Pegasus and the Scorpio-tailed Lion. Liszt then said to Ach, “When the Scorpio-tailed Lion pounces on the Pegasus, step in and interrupt it, don’t let it catch the Pegasus too easily; otherwise, the Pegasus might not flee toward the larger herd.”

Pegasi, being Advanced Dragon Beasts with high intelligence, were likely to seek help from their kind in danger.

However, if the Pegasi could not hold out until reaching the larger herd, Liszt’s plan would naturally fall through. So, maintaining a balance was key—allowing the Pegasus a chance to escape for help and giving the Scorpio-tailed Lion the hope of catching its prey, merely interrupting the rhythm slightly at crucial moments.

The posture of the Pegasi in flight was graceful, streams of air rising beneath their beautiful wings like noble swans, finding a direction and swiftly escaping.

The flight posture of the Scorpio-tailed Lion was not so graceful. Its bat wings fluttered repeatedly, like a sparrow hopping on and off, but its speed was subtly faster than that of the Pegasi—a confidence in itself to hunt the Pegasi.

But whenever it was about to catch up with the Pegasus ahead,

It always found that the Pegasus suddenly burst with speed, leaving it trailing at a distance.

This enraged the Scorpio-tailed Lion; it had captured Pegasi several times during its growth and longed for the taste. It was well aware that these Pegasi were no match for itself when fleeing. Yet it did not anticipate that this particular Pegasus could always burst with speed, causing its attacks to miss.

But,

the Pegasus ultimately lacked explosive power. Having only slightly widened the gap, its speed soon slowed down again.

Seeing this, the Scorpio-tailed Lion could not hold back any longer. It vigorously flapped its wings and rushed toward the Pegasus, not planning to give up the delicious prey within its reach!

This chase continued for dozens of miles.

Although the Pegasus Herd was escaping in panic, their formation did not scatter and they still flew urgently in one direction. The Scorpio-tailed Lion was panting heavily. Its large body was not well suited for long-distance flying, but with prey hovering just within reach, it couldn’t bear to give up and kept sprinting.

“Just one more time, just one more and I’ll definitely kill it!” this was probably the true portrayal of its inner thoughts.

Regrettably, fate’s hands, in this case, were held by Ach at the edge of the material boundary, or one might say by Liszt. They could always rely on the power of Magic at crucial moments to give the Pegasus a nudge. Not too much, just enough so the Pegasus could narrowly evade the Scorpio-tailed Lion’s bite.

But fate is fickle.

Just when Liszt thought this strategy was brilliant and victory was within reach, the Scorpio-tailed Lion, having failed another pounce, chose to give up.

With resentful eyes, it glared several times at the Pegasus Herd that was flying further and further away, then with heavy breaths began to descend toward the ground below.

Finally accepting the harsh reality, it declared its hunting failure.

“You actually gave up, the fat prey right before your eyes and you chose to give up, you waste!” Liszt raged. First, he had Ach tag the small Pegasus Herd with a Space Magic Beacon, then he directly maneuvered the Formless Dragon to make a turnabout attack, finding the Scorpio-tailed Lion resting in the forest.

He pulled out the Dragon Lance Fury of Thunder and directly executed a move from the Dragon Dou Qi Manual, “Poison Dragon Drill.” The Dragon Lance, like a drill bit, extended from the material boundary, and with a speed faster than lightning, it pierced the weary Scorpio-tailed Lion, which saw stars before its eyes.

The powerful force of the Dragon Knight infused.

The Scorpio-tailed Lion had no time to react and was skewered dead.

Looking at the Scorpio-tailed Lion killed by a single blow, Liszt quickly reorganized his Space Rings, freeing one of them to cram the large body of the Scorpio-tailed Lion into the Gemstone Space—the five-meter-diameter spherical space of the Space Ring barely fit the lion.

Having done all this, without any hesitation,

He rapidly pursued the Pegasus Herd, following the signal of the Space Magic Beacon.

He wanted to see if, after being startled, the Pegasus Herd would continue to join the larger herd, and it was with this thought that he reaped a rich reward.

The group of Pegasus kept flying, with good stamina they crossed a distance of several hundred kilometers, only then did they gracefully land in a valley surrounded by mountains. In the Crystal White Trajectory’s view, there was a spot in the valley with sparse trees but lush wild grass, and it was scattered with more than a hundred peacefully grazing Pegasus.

Greyish-green Magic reflections flickered on and off, among them, three special green lights stood out as if solid, a vibrant emerald hue.

And atop the heads of the Pegasus, they formed a point, slightly longer than the head, like a sharp horn.

“Storm Dragon Horse!” Liszt’s heart settled, effort pays off, his scheme of having the Scorpio-tailed Lion chase the Pegasus although momentarily thwarted, still achieved the desired result—he found the Pegasus with horns on their heads, the legendary Unicorns known as Storm Dragon Horses.

And not just one, but three Storm Dragon Horses appeared at once!

Suppressing his excitement, he did not go down to capture them but remained at the boundary of the material realm, observing this Pegasus Herd and the three Storm Dragon Horses among them.

A vague suspicion arose in his heart, “Storm Dragon Horses are indeed Unicorns, extraordinary in themselves, and the Magic power in their horns definitely reaches High Magic levels… but, is this the mission just to help Ach find a mount, with Ach being an Archmage, would he just ride such Storm Dragon Horses?”

It wasn’t that he looked down upon the Storm Dragon Horses, but they simply didn’t befit Ach, knowing that once the Formless Dragon Bard had earnestly hoped Ach would ride it.

But Ach had refused.

What virtues did the Storm Dragon Horses have to qualify as Ach’s mount?

While he was deep in thought, a puff of smoke appeared out of nowhere and quickly condensed into ephemeral Serpent Script: “Mission completed, reward Storm Dragon Horse.”

The smoke swiftly dispersed and then reconvened into another segment of Serpent Script.

“Mission: Even Pegasus with horns are merely ordinary Pegasus and cannot match the status of Ach as an Archmage. However, while you’re feeling disheartened, have you noticed that the true Unicorn is secretly observing you and Ach? Perhaps what you need to do is to distance yourself from Ach. Reward: One Unicorn.”

Seeing the first part of the mission, Liszt was quite thrilled, indeed, the power of destiny is the projection of one’s own will; Storm Dragon Horses are simply not suited for Ach’s stature.

But then.

Upon reading the latter part of the mission, his expression quickly darkened: “What does this mean!”
