“If I hadn't chosen to join Kassel, I probably wouldn't have seen such a shocking scene in my life,” Lu Mingfei slowly raised his head, “It’s like living in another world.”
Rune.
Lu Mingfei recognized the Rune used by this Three-Generations Breed.
【Rune · Heze】
Relying on that strange sudden enlightenment, a line of text clearly appeared before Lu Mingfei's eyes. He gradually gained some understanding of this ability. It seemed that it would only actively pop up to explain when it was related to pure-blooded dragons.
But now was clearly not the time to delve into it. He would confirm this conjecture after dealing with this Three-Generations Breed.
Red liquid flowed through the Dragonborn's wounds, and white steam billowed. The Dragonborn, which originally looked like a steel fortress, suddenly became transparent. All its wounds closed, and its entire body was crystal clear. Through the incredibly hard dragon scales, he could see the bones and blood inside the Dragonborn's body.
Lu Mingfei was the kind of person who would complain when watching Kamen Rider transform if no one bothered him. How could he allow the Dragonborn to unleash its Rune?
Before the Dragonborn could completely finish this transformation, he stepped forward, his fist blade charging towards the Dragonborn.
Unexpectedly, that Dragonborn suddenly leaped up, climbed onto the stone layer above its head, and glared at Lu Mingfei with its eyes inverted.
Three-dimensional combat.
“So Dragonborn also have the potential to be dung monsters.”
Lu Mingfei complained, rushing to the center of the bronze disk in a few steps, ensuring the Dragonborn remained within his sight.
Now, all four of the Dragonborn's claws were nailed to the stone wall, and its sharp dragon claws allowed it to move as if on flat ground anywhere in this space. The open space of the platform also became its weapon.
After accelerating on the stone layer above its head, several water spikes extended from beneath the Dragonborn's chest, aiming for close contact with Lu Mingfei. And once Lu Mingfei was embraced by the Dragonborn, he would suffer a torture no less severe than a medieval iron maiden.
Lu Mingfei swept his fist blade. Now, all he could rely on were the fist blade in his hand and the speed of movement he had trained in recent days. He did not underestimate the Dragonborn's intelligence. No matter why the Dragonborn was heavily injured, its ability to escape back already indicated that it had some brains.
Very strong desire to attack, and always hanging in the air without coming down. Hmm, even more like a dung monster.
Lu Mingfei confirmed.
The Dragonborn let out a shriek, its eyes wide, charging at Lu Mingfei furiously, carrying a suicidal killing intent.
If it were an ordinary agent here, they would probably have been scared to fall to the ground, but Lu Mingfei had seen more terrifying scenes. The illusion of Lu Mingze being fixed on a cross during the 3E Exam was even more frightening.
In the Dragonborn's eyes, Lu Mingfei not only showed no panic but even smiled. In its not yet fully recovered brain, the person opposite was very likely scared silly.
So it became even more unrestrained, spreading its wings to crush Lu Mingfei here, to let humans see the fate of rebels!
It thought too beautifully.
The Dragonborn completely forgot how it was first injured by Lu Mingfei.
“It seems you’re a bit dumber than I thought.”
Lu Mingfei snorted lightly, and Lingering Words · Spending the Day completely fixed the Dragonborn in mid-air. Even if only for an instant, it gave him the opportunity to fully extend the ribbon on the back of his hand.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei's intention was clear: he was going to use this six-meter-long white sword to cut open this Dragonborn.
You can repair the wounds on your body, but how will you repair a six-meter-long wound!
Measure the Days was broken through by the Dragonborn, and the six-meter-long sword came slashing. The Dragonborn at this moment simply could not control its desire to pounce forward.
A knife into flesh, cutting bone, a loud bang!
Lu Mingfei's long blade forcibly cut open half of the Dragonborn. Only a spine remained connecting the flesh on the back of this Dragonborn.
“Not dead yet?”
Lu Mingfei pulled away from the shadow beneath the Dragonborn, the six-meter-long ribbon following closely, smoothly cutting open the Dragonborn's flesh, drilling out from inside, and wrapping around Lu Mingfei's forearm.
He stared at the Golden Eyes that had not yet extinguished. The transparent bones and blood had disappeared. A shallow river of blood dripped down along the cracks of the bronze disk. This Dragonborn had lost the power to maintain its Rune, yet it still had not lost its life.
“Even this amount of blood loss isn’t enough to kill a dragon?”
Lu Mingfei slightly narrowed his eyes, tentatively extending the ribbon to pierce the Dragonborn's heart. The Golden Eyes still had not extinguished.
What about the five viscera?
What about the throat?
What about the head?
Still not dead?
Lu Mingfei became puzzled, slowly shifting his gaze to the straight spine.
The greenish-blue Dragonborn suddenly let out a deterrent growl. Its immense will to live made it exert all its strength to get away from this human. Damn it, is he still not satisfied after stabbing it so many times!
Lu Mingfei keenly sensed the Dragonborn's fear, so he focused even more intently on that spine, as if looking at a choice cut of tenderloin.
Various elemental melodies were glimpsed by him, and among them, only the melody representing the water element vibrated steadily.
This battle should end.
Lu Mingfei sprinted, stepping on the dragon's claws, his entire being disappearing from the Dragonborn's sight.
The Dragonborn vibrated its wings, wanting to escape this space, but the heavy and powerful steps on its left wing pressed it down, causing it to merely slip in place.
“It’s over.”
Lu Mingfei sighed softly, standing steadily on the Dragonborn's spine.
The Dragonborn flapped wildly, waving its wings, wanting to rise up or shake off this hateful human from its body, but it was only fighting with air; it was truly suppressed.
In despair, it seemed to hear the King's emperor's chant again.
“Rebels shall die.”
The Emperor delivered his punishment, and so the Dragonborn's spine broke.
Blood flowed in all directions. The body, devoid of melody, could no longer protect the bones and blood that had been cut open with a single stroke. All the liquid erupted beneath Lu Mingfei's feet. Countless blood beads around the bronze disk dripped down, forming a thin, crimson waterfall.
The liquid flowed through the winding, intricate grooves of the disk. Dust, white bones, and the shattered Dragonborn formed a brutal and perverse painting.
And the finishing touch of the painting, the last stroke completed, was the long blade severing the Dragonborn's spine, the ribbon dancing in the air. The melodies connecting the world to this Dragonborn snapped one by one, announcing the complete death of the Dragonborn's nerves.
The super-pressurized stone layer above was broken at this moment. Moonlight and lamplight shone on the center of the disk. Lu Mingfei silently gazed at the moon he saw for the first time today. The dragon scales beneath his feet had lost their luster, and the bone wings lay like a large piece of rotting flesh on the disk.
After losing its connection to the world's melodies, this giant dragon was nothing more than another creature of nature. What had made it so arrogant until now was merely the world's favor upon it.
Someone silently took Lu Mingfei's hand.
He looked down at the person holding his hand.
It was a pair of familiar black eyes, but they quickly turned golden, reflecting Lu Mingfei's image, devoid of moonlight and stars.
Lu Mingfei suddenly wanted to say something to Lu Mingze, perhaps to thank Lu Mingze for his guidance or to ask about the Dragonborn's weaknesses?
He thought for a long time, unable to find the right words.
But Lu Mingze understood Lu Mingfei's thoughts. He carefully scrutinized the boy under the moonlight, and only whispered,
“Does Elder Brother like this time’s sin and punishment?”
Lu Mingze's question echoed in the tomb, for a long, long time.
