The ghost dragonâs reaction seemed to be rather slow. It turned its head and saw the fruits disappeared. It roared furiously as it marched toward the figure who took the fruits. The figure seemed to be intimidated by the Dragonâs Demeanor as the figure suddenly stunned. The figure slowed down and stepped backward with fear.
The one who took the devil fruit was clearly Chen Rui. He knew that their difference in strength was too huge; his speed must be incomparable to the ghost dragon. So, he didnât run at full force, but he acted as if he was intimidated and led the ghost dragon to trigger the inscription trap.
To Chen Ruiâs surprise, the ghost dragon seemed to see through his plan. It actually didnât chase hurriedly, but it approached calmly. Only the pair of skeletal wings were flapping slowly, giving a huge psychological pressure.
The Demon Realmâs common language came from the ghost dragon, âIntruder! Return the fruits and Iâll spare your little life! Otherwise, your flesh will become a gourmet in my mouth!â
Chen Rui was cold sweating. It seemed that he had to trigger the inscription himself to escape before the ghost dragon attacked. If he really couldnât do it, then he still had the skill of the âDark Willâ ring.
The problem was that Athena was still in the vicinity, and sheâd likely be discovered by the ghost dragon. With Athenaâs current situation, it was absolutely impossible to escape.
Leave Athena and run away by myself? Iâve gotten the devil fruit anyway!
Giving up the... partner, who is willing to take the risk to accompany me to Mountain Xilang?
In the face the approaching ghost dragon, Chen Rui made a decision instantly. He extended his hand and opened his palm, preparing to use to anger the ghost dragon.
The powerful Dragonâs Demeanor was approaching, âAsshole, I, Master Ghost Dragon will give you a final chance!â
Chen Rui didnât believe in such formless threat at all. If he truly returned the fruits, heâd probably be dead immediately. However, the strange thing was that this ghost dragon had been intimidating, it didnât actually make any actions. Right when Chen Rui planned to desperately distract the ghost dragon, the data displayed by changed his mind.
Slime; Comprehensive Assessment: D; Physique: Unknown, Strength: Unknown; Spirit: Unknown; Agility: Unknown.
Slime? Not a ghost dragon?
And... D level? Itâs just a Higher Demon? What is with the Dragonâs Demeanor then?
Chen Rui took a risk and instantly concentrated his Star Power, â!â
The huge white ball hit the ghost dragon. The gigantic body of the ghost dragon was actually pushed back by the force of . Some pieces of the bones were also falling. It could barely stabilize its body. Even one of its wings was gone.
It was Chen Rui first time using after promoting to Star Leader. He felt that the Star Power used was much lesser than that of Star Collector. He didnât have the feeling of being instantly emptied.
verified that the beast before his eyes was really just a paper tiger [1], and Chen Ruiâs heart was a lot calmer. He leaped, caught up with the âghost dragonâ and manifested his combat power as he liked â After being tortured by Paglio so many times, I can finally collect some interest from this dragon this time! However, it feels like Iâm whipping a corpse...
The âghost dragonââs movement was slow. It couldnât do anything under Chen Ruiâs attack. Yet, it seemed to perceive no pain. It still roared, âAsshole! My strength is already recovering! If you donât escape now, be prepared for your bones to be crushed!â
Chen Rui wasnât holding back at all; his attack became fiercer. He was already clear: this so-called ghost dragon is merely a âslimeâ intimidating with the dragonâs might. It actually deceives all the demonic beasts in the jungle!
No wonder the ghost dragon is just intimidating as it didnât initiate any actual, horrifying attack. However, what is puzzling is that the Dragon Inscriptions and the Dragonâs Demeanor are actually genuine.
At this time, the green light in the eyes of âghost dragonâ gradually faded. Chen Rui noticed that the green light was actually secretly moving whereas the body of the âghost dragonâ gradually became dull and stiff as the green light faded. Eventually, it didnât move at all like a pile of actual lifeless bones.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The display of still existed. Chen Rui thought of something and immediately noticed a pile of faintly creeping thing on the ground. He stomped heavily on it. This thing was slippery, and it squeezed out of his foot. It jumped high suddenly and grew several times instantly. It was like a huge pocket covering from the sky, wanting to swallow him.
Chen Ruiâs hand instantly emitted a metallic glow. As a line of light sliced of past, the âpocketâ was split into two. Subsequently, sliced the strange âslimeâ into pieces.
Strangely, these fragments werenât dead. They squirmed toward Chen Rui at high speed, wanting to engulf him again. Chen Rui thought of something and shouted, â!â
At that moment, a brilliance flashing in high speed appeared on all the fragments like living runes. Looking at it in detail, there were actually countless sharp forces slicing at high speed. In the blink of an eye, the fragments were cut into countless particles and fell to the ground. It was Chen Ruiâs first time using this ââ with an aoe attack. Its effect was very dazzling, and its power was also very impressive. However, the lethality felt inferior compared to the single-unit attacking . Besides, it used up a lot of strength. It consumed a few times more strength than , but it was suitable to deal with multiple enemies.
âHey!â The subtle voices came together as if thousands of people sounded at the same time. After suffering the ultimate move of , this strange slime was actually not destroyed.
Immortal? Chen Rui frowned. Sure enough, countless particles gathered together into one and became the original âthingâ.
âYour attacks are so painful! I will let you pay the price!â After the thing restored, it came with his mouth opened again. Chen Rui opened his hand and the second shot of gushed out, shooting right into the thingâs mouth. The huge light ball drove it straight into the sky, and it only fell after a long time.
Under the white light of , Chen Rui found that this thing was transparent like some kind of rubber. After hit it, it actually didnât explode, but it scattered into countless white light which filled up the entire body of this thing, showing a vein-like texture.
Chen Rui was panting a little. After using the last , his Star Power was running low. That was all he got. If he still couldnât eliminate the opponent, he could only escape with the devil fruit.
still couldnât kill this thing, but it caused significant damage. The destructive aura didnât disappear for a while, but it scattered in various parts of its body, making it paralyzed on the floor and losing its ability to move at once.
Chen Rui thought quickly and he didnât escape. Instead, he quickly stepped forward and stepped on it once again.
âSuch bravery. You actually dare to defy me!â That thing still didnât want to admit defeat.
âIâm an actual partner of a dragon.â Chen Rui refuted rightfully, âA mere slime who dare to pretend to be a dragon. I will destroy you now!â
âYou... How do you know that Dodo is a slime? Donât kill Dodo!â This guy didnât expect the opponent to be the genuine dragon partner, and he easily exposed its identity. It finally began to panic.
In fact, Chen Ruiâs two per day were used up. Now, he was just scaring âDodoâ. He asked, âWhy did you pretend to be ghost dragon! Why did you create beast swarm! Answer!â
âHmph! I wonât tell you!â After Dodo said those words, it saw Chen Ruiâs fingers that were rested suddenly opened. It looked like the pose that made that terrible attack, so it suddenly changed its words, âForgive me. Iâll tell you everything. Sir, please loosen your leg first!â
Chen Rui let go of his leg. While the âs residual force gradually disappeared in its body, it immediately bounced high and ran to the side. It was still yelling, âYou dare to anger me, Sir Dodo. Youâll see how I...â
Before it could finish its cruel words, it felt sparks everywhere before its eyes. After a series of exploding sound, Dodo was scattered into pieces and fell to the ground. It turned out that it coincidentally triggered the inscription that Chen Rui set up previously., Fortunately, it was just the inscription. If it was the inscription in the other direction, Dodo would likely to have successfully escaped now.
However, Dodoâs physique was very strange. The inscription couldnât kill it. Its reconstruction speed was also really fast. Relatively speaking, caused more damage to it, no wonder it was so afraid.
âThen... I have to kill you right away!â Chen Rui appeared in front of Dodo. His demeanor was overflowing as if he was going all out.
âEven if I die...â Dodo said forcefully. When it saw Chen Ruiâs opened fingers, his voice instantly became extremely charming, âSir, your humblest servant, Dodo is willing to solve all your doubts.â
Sir Dodo changed its face so fast that it should be the epitome of âable to be both mighty and submissiveâ.
âI wonât believe you anymore!â Chen Rui said deliberately.
Dodo knew something wasnât right, so it opened its mouth and a scroll that was concentrated with strange power appeared, âMaster, Dodo is willing to sign the master-servant contract. Please donât kill me!â
It wasnât Chen Ruiâs first time signing the master-servant contract. It was obvious that this contract wasnât fake, so he immediately signed it. An average person could only carry one contract. Now, Chen Rui actually had four contracts, which were 3 master-servant contracts and 1 symbiotic contract. Perhaps he could sign more.
After signing the master-servant contract, Chen Rui naturally stopped torturing Dodo and loosened his foot. Itâs fine if this guy has D-level strength, but the key is itâs immortality, and it can drive the dragon bones to use Dragonâs Demeanor. Itâs really not simple.
Dodoâs body that was flattened gradually swelled and returned to the size of a basin, showing its true face. Its appearance was weird; it had no limbs; the entire body was the face with big eyes, tiny spotted nose and teethless mouth. It looked a bit like a translucent big onion. It moved around by bouncing its body on the ground like a spring.
âMy noble master.â Although Dodo had no limbs, its facial expressions were quite rich. It looked flattery, âMy body can absorb a considerable amount of magic and physical damage. Even if Iâm sliced into countless pieces by blades, I can still regenerate. However, masterâs attack just now almost collapsed my body completely. Your strength is too powerful and too evil...â
Within the endless flatteries, Chen Rui seemed to see an onion version of Slee or Didi. However, Dodoâs ability also made him secretly shocked: This fellow isnât afraid of physical and magic attacks, and it can also regenerate. What monster is this?
