Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Rumble—roar—boom——!!!

With an ear-splitting detonation like the very continental plates being torn asunder, a silhouette so vast it drove all hope to despair was rising, slowly yet irresistibly, from that sheer cliff edge that had been severed!

Everyone on the shore widened their eyes and drew in a sharp breath of cold air, staring at the colossal abomination Manan had hurled upon them—the Vampire Sea Dragon!

Worthy of its name! A body over five hundred meters long rose from the riverbed like a mountain range brutally stretched and twisted! Its height of more than three hundred meters let that grotesque Dragon Head easily loom above the ruins of the cliffside encampment, even looking down upon the main keep of Rapids Castle! The torrents of river water it displaced poured off its bulk like waterfalls, cascading into countless turbid, blood-colored streams.

Its main form was a gigantic Sea Dragon corpse whose luster had long since faded, the bone now a putrescent deep gray. Yet this skeleton was no simple support structure; it was more like a massive, warped framework. What truly granted it "life" and that terrifying shape were the innumerable Abyss Leeches that clung, coiled, and even burrowed deep into the seams of bone, layer upon layer! Each leech was as thick as a siege log, its length ranging from over ten meters to dozens. Their dark-red-to-black hides were slick with viscous slime and plated with bone segments that glinted with metallic cold. Their vast suction maws, packed full of spiraling fangs, were like eyes of the Abyss, greedily drinking in the corrupted essence lingering within the Sea Dragon bones—essence tainted by Manan’s Divine Power—while giving off a wet, tooth-grating sound of ceaseless sucking. The writhing of countless leeches made the entire Sea Dragon corpse resemble a breathing, undulating massif wrought from living flesh and rotting bone!

The enormous Sea Dragon skull was the core "crown" of this Desecration-made thing. In its hollow eye sockets burned two clusters of Soul Fire—ghostly blue flames formed from countless tiny leeches, an extension of Manan’s berserk will. The once-majestic horns had long since snapped and rotted away, replaced by several exceptionally thick Abyss Leeches whose heads had undergone Evolution into keen bone-blades. They thrashed around the skull like twisted tentacles, serving as both weapon and sensory organ. The massive dragon jaws were forced wide open; within, there was no tongue, only a mass of hundreds of smaller leeches knotted together into a constantly pulsing "Flesh and Blood Winch," ready at any moment to spew or devour.

The long tailbone was covered in layer upon layer of Leech Swarm, like living Chain Armor. At the tail’s extremity there was no ordinary tail fin, but dozens of giant leeches whose ends were armed with huge bone spikes or razor bone-blades. They formed a bundle of living lash-whips, every swing accompanied by air-rending detonations, enough to sweep flat hills and pulverize walls!

Its mere existence was ravenously drinking in the courage of every living thing upon the battlefield. Whether Hesse Territory’s Warriors or the Blue Mirror Territory’s ragged remnants, all felt a shudder rising from the depths of their souls before this act of Desecration. Even the fanatical Berserkers of Yurik found a note of wavering entering their battle cries.

This living cataclysm, forged by Manan’s Divine Power forcibly driving Abyssal might, using the corpse of an Ancient Sea Dragon as its base and countless Abyss Leeches as its flesh, had become the new, uncontested focal point of the battlefield. Its hollow, Soul Fire-lit blue eyes swept over the Chaos of combat, and in the end that "mouth" made of countless intertwining leeches slowly opened, locking onto the figure upon the cliffside ruins who had just narrowly escaped the edge of Sea God’s Fury—Su Li.

A roar not of this world, mingling the wails of Sea Dragon dead souls and the shrieks of billions of leeches, tore the sky above the battlefield, proclaiming the advent of ultimate annihilation!

Su Li stared up in stunned awe at this Monster. "So this is the ancient relic Baron Grant dug up from the ruins beneath Blue Mirror Lake?"

The four Divine Chosen Knights activated their Divine General state at once. Their more-than-thirty-meter Divine General bodies shone with the radiance of Divine Grace, and their mighty Armor blazed with glory on all sides!

It is said that once the blade is in the hand, the killing intent arises of itself!

Now, even facing this colossus born of the deep sea, Su Li knew no fear. He vaulted straight onto the nearly fifty-meter-long Green Dragon Aelirea, gripped his Warhammer, pointed to the void ahead, and barked a harsh order: "All forces, advance! Shatter this Monster!"

"By your command, Lord!" The four Divine Chosen Knights roared in unison, unleashing without reserve the Divine Grace already surging through their bodies.

In an instant, upon the cliffside ruins, four dazzling columns of light surged skyward, tearing apart the pall of gloom that had shrouded the battlefield with the Sea Dragon’s arrival!

In the next heartbeat, four towering figures leaped forth, closing in around the Monster to slaughter it! The brilliance of Divine Grace burned fiercely upon their gigantic forms; they were like stars fallen into the mortal realm, hurling themselves with fearless valor against the colossal abomination wrought by Manan.

The fiercest assault came from Hilude. His Divine General body was encased in resplendent Fiery Sun Divine Light, and in his hands a forty-meter Blazing Giant Sword dragged behind it dozens of meters of incandescent Light Flame, cleaving toward the thick forelimb joint that supported the Sea Dragon’s body like a dawn-radiance that split Chaos itself!

"Monster, turn to ash beneath the noonday sun!"

The sword-light fell!

Hiss——BOOM!!!

Fiery Sun Divine Power and Deep Sea Energy clashed wildly, erupting into blinding white light and thick, reeking steam! The blade bit deep into that "flesh-and-bone" joint composed of countless giant leeches, whose bone-plates, tough and unyielding, were scorched and melted by the intense heat, cracking apart with a tooth-grinding screech. Dark-blue-to-black filthy blood sprayed out like a dam bursting, laden with vicious corrosiveness. It splashed upon Hilude’s Divine General Armor with a furious sizzle, and the Light Flame of Divine Grace flickered violently.
