Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1169 - 759: A Long-Awaited Return to the Painting World
"It's not easy at all..."
"Feels like I've used up my annual activity quota in this one battle."
"Damn it, my weapon got melted! Will Repair Light Powder save it?"
When the Flying Dragon finally met its demise, all the Starfire Knights present let out a sound of relief. The exhaustion they had been suppressing during the battle instantly showed on their faces.
Watching these iron-clad tough guys, who didn't fall even against giant dragons, collapse onto the ground in a breeze to rest, the site was filled with the sound of heavy breathing.
"This Flying Dragon... although it's not big, seems stronger than the one raised by the Holy Light Church we fought before."
"That's because concentrated things are always the essence. Just look at dwarves, they're the strongest humanoid race, aren't they?"
"Shh, be careful saying that, you might offend the dwarves, who can pop up from invisible places anytime, anywhere."
The Flying Dragon at the Flying Dragon Bridge is powerful enough that, if released outside, it would be considered a formidable siege weapon in a legion war. Flying through the sky and spraying fire could severely demoralize the enemy troops.
The Holy Light Church even artificially raises Flying Dragons, each being Elite Level monsters, and larger in size than Sain's Dragons, with their signature shimmering golden scales dazzling on the battlefield. Other churches envy this and want to raise such monsters for prestige.
But when the Starfire Knights compared the Holy Light Flying Dragon with the one from Sain Dungeon, they felt... although this Red Flying Dragon isn't particularly appealing, and somewhat small.
They estimated this Flying Dragon could handle two or three Holy Light Flying Dragons simultaneously without issue.
If they didn't have weapons specifically targeting the Dragon Clan, and Hevi, a skilled weapon user, with them, the fight wouldn't have been this easy. They might even have faced annihilation.
The Flying Dragon's strength seemed so overwhelming it felt misplaced near Undead Town Outside the City, adjacent to the Fire Transmission Ceremony, which didn't follow the usual gradual increase in monster strength.
Ah well, rules are made to be broken, and this is the Sain Dungeon, so people don't pay that much attention here.
The Starfire Knights dragged their tired bodies into the building behind them, where a bright bonfire was already kindled, emitting a comforting warmth.
This place used to be the Flying Dragon's lair, and the bonfire was right behind it.
Such a short distance might stump many adventurers, as not everyone can slay a Flying Dragon on the spot, most can only come up with flexible tactics.
Beside the bonfire stood a statue that appeared quite old, its contours faintly resembling a female.
"But she doesn't look like the Sun Princess or Dark Moon, someone unfamiliar."
The Starfire Knights, knowing only about the Sun Princess and Gwendolin, couldn't make heads or tails of the statue, so just started guessing around it.
"Hey, none of you are going to pick up the light points? You're all slacking off, aren't you!"
Hevi's angry voice came from beside; he was wrapped in bandages all over, looking rather disheveled.
These bandages are magic tools that accelerate physical recovery. Though magic can heal external injuries, physical stamina still relies on magic tools.
Having contributed the most and suffered the most injuries in the fight, he ran to rest by the bonfire immediately after the battle, finally opened his eyes only to see his comrades critiquing a statue instead of picking up the light points.
"Given the urgency, Hevi, if we hadn't reached the bonfire sooner, we'd have fainted by now. Before picking up the light points, let's at least restore our stamina first, or we might all faint before managing to pick them up." The Starfire Knights made a good point.
"Alright, alright, you win."
Hevi, utterly helpless, waved his hand, removed his bandages and threw them to those in need, then headed to where the Flying Dragon vanished.
The Suffocating Dragon Tooth emerged from his robes, automatically retrieving his discarded armor and dressing him carefully, almost like a maid.
Upon closer inspection, the number of Dragon Scales on the Suffocating Dragon Tooth didn't seem to have significantly reduced?
"Damn it, why can't monsters leave bodies after they die." Hevi lamented, scratching his head.
The Dragon Scales of the Suffocating Dragon Tooth are consumables—once broken, they're done for. If not replenished in time, there will be an awkward shortage of scales eventually.
Luckily, during the fight with the Flying Dragon, he took care to knock down more scales from the enemy to replenish the Suffocating Dragon Tooth.
The Dragon Clan's scales are assimilated by weapons; the higher the quality, the more they can be transformed into the Suffocating Dragon Tooth. The Red Flying Dragon's scales can be divided into five, their quality already quite commendable.
It's a pity he couldn't harvest all the Red Flying Dragon's scales; otherwise, the scale of the Suffocating Dragon Tooth could grow further, remaining somewhat insufficient, preventing him from going full throttle.
Aside from some culinary monsters in the gourmet region and certain special monsters in other regions whose corpses persist after death, most monsters turn to ashes upon death, disappearing without trace. If adventurers want materials, they must either try to obtain them from living monsters or hope that the dropped light points contain the desired materials.
