Mushroom Lord in the Underground City

Virelis' scream finally made the two giant dragons focus their gaze on her.

The Dragon Mighty bearing down on them, coupled with those two pairs of cold golden eyes, involuntarily excited Virelis: "Yes, just like that, look at me, and then..."

Boom——

The Blue Dragon's body flashed with electricity, a sign that wasn't even an intentional attack, causing the Abyss Beast's left wing to explode from the root, with charred stumps emitting blue smoke, and its huge body staggered to a half-kneel.

Azra looked down at her, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Patched-together insect, get away."

Then he turned his head again, looking at the waiting great dragon.

Virelis couldn't understand Dragon Language, but she didn't need to; she could feel the contempt from both dragons!

She hugged herself, trembling all over: "I am already complete... no longer need to endure... you... can't ignore me like this!"

The core in the chest of the Abyss Beast burst into black light, and its dragon head opened wide, shooting a dark energy beam towards the Blue Dragon!

The Blue Dragon swung its head abruptly, electric arcs flashing in its throat, and faced the abyssal cannon with a pale lightning breath.

The two powers collided in mid-air, with no stalemate, as the lightning breath instantly pierced through the darkness.

The exploding black light scattered like shattered scraps, and electric arcs leaped past the blast's aftermath like countless twisted silver snakes, enveloping the Abyss Beast along with Virelis on its head.

Thousands of electric arcs struck the Abyss Beast's body, its remaining right wing shattered, its bear-like body riddled with wounds, its scorpion tail left half-intact, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and even the black light at its abyssal core dimmed considerably.

"Ah——!!!" Virelis let out a piercing scream, and for the first time, fear appeared in those eyes that were always insanely gleaming.

With her screams, the Abyss Beast continuously sank, submerging into the shadow beneath it.

In the distance, the First Fungus had long since distanced itself from the battlefield, and high above, a left-behind Scout Puki observed the battle below among the three giant beasts.

The Abyss Beast being completely suppressed by the Blue Dragon was no surprise to Lin Jun, after all, though their sizes were similar, the panel discrepancy was not minor.

[Ancient Dragon Path 99%]

The Blue Dragon Azra had reached the end of the [Ancient Dragon Path], only one step away from stepping into it.

If Lin Jun guessed right, this last step was probably about dealing with all remaining competitors.

Even if it hadn't taken that step yet, the 99% progression had already brought it terrifying augmentation.

Just looking at the panel, it was hard to compare it with the giant dragons encountered earlier.

And the Abyss Beast, at the end of the day, was at the level of an ordinary giant dragon, if not for relying on the [Melting Shadow] skill, the First Fungus could also take it down.

However, the outcome hadn't been truly decided yet. The Shadow Worm, such creatures, are best at winning with a weaker force, and it seemed Virelis, that oversized worm, was no exception.

Sure enough, after the Abyss Beast submerged into the shadows, the remaining electric arcs blasted upon the shadow but couldn't penetrate it to deliver the final blow to Virelis.

And that shadow, suddenly stretched towards the two giant dragons!

The farther away large dragon flapped its wings and flew up, while Azra, who was closer, burst with more and stronger electric arcs from within.

The shadow swallowed the ground below the Blue Dragon, Azra felt the ground below it soften, and it began to slowly sink.

It wanted to fly up, to break free, but couldn't free itself at all, even the dragon breath it spat was ineffective against the shadow, and it could only watch itself being dragged bit by bit into the darkness.

Upon realizing it couldn't escape, Azra felt not fear, but anger surge up.

"You annoying insect interfering in the Dragon Struggle, you're asking for death!"

Instead of looking up for survival like a drowning person, it gathered thunder again in its throat, and then dove headlong into the shadow.

Darkness was torn apart by flashes of electric light, countless electric arcs darted through the shadow, constantly flickering.

At a certain moment, Virelis's scream came from the depths of the shadow, sharp, shrill, but lasted only for several breaths before suddenly stopping.

Then, the shadow covering the whole city began to retract and dissipate, revealing the scorched earth and broken tiles it had swallowed.

At this point, most of the Blue Dragon's body had sunk into the shadow, only a section of its spine was still exposed, and it continued to descend.

A pair of dragon claws covered in Black Scales gripped that section of the spine, claw tips pierced the scales and dug into the flesh.

The large dragon fully spread its wings, covering half of the sky. With the continuous flapping of the dragon wings, the Blue Dragon's body was dragged out from the shadow inch by inch.

When the shadow completely disappeared, the large dragon loosened its claws, and the badly battered Blue Dragon heavily smashed into the city's ruins.

At this moment, only one of its golden eyes was bright, the other reflecting a gray sky, the light dimmed by more than half, its whole body was blood-stained, and the Dragon Scales on it bore a layer of grayish-white corrosion marks from the elemental corrosion in the shadow space.

Azra propped itself up again, blood squeezing out from between the dragon scales on its limbs, it ignored this, with its only remaining golden eye looking at the large dragon.

The large dragon's gaze swept over its body, saying calmly: "When you recover, we'll decide victory and defeat."

"Hahahahaha!" Azra suddenly laughed up at the sky, laughed for a long time before lowering its dragon head, the laughter gone from its only remaining golden eye, "You're letting me go again? And then, like charity, letting me defeat you to become an Ancient Dragon?"

It stepped forward, the charred ground cracked under its claws.

"Stop putting on that disgusting face of an elder brother!"

Its only remaining golden eye was devoid of laughter, filled with anger.

"Come... let's finish our battle, decide who is the strongest!"

The large dragon was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Is that so, then as you wish."

Azra's throat shone with thunder again, electricity leaped and crackled in its bloodied giant mouth.

The large dragon's wings shook, launching straight into the night sky, flying higher, becoming a black dot among the three moons.

The large dragon turned into a black meteor, falling straight from the center of the moon.

Azra looked up, its only remaining golden eye reflected the growing black dot, and opened its mouth to spew the Thunder Pillar, facing head-on the diving silhouette.

Upon collision, the lightning exploded in the air, blue-white electric arcs instantly crawling over the sky.

The large dragon's scales were lifted in large swathes, and flesh turned charred under electric light then peeled away.

Without slowing down, it pierced through the center of the Thunder Pillar, crashing directly onto Azra's dragon body.

The earth quaked.

Dust was swept into the sky by the blast, like a mushroom growing.

Azra's body was embedded deep into the ground by the impact, ribs protruding from its sides, jagged edges, blood gushing from each wound, pooling into dark-red puddles beneath it.

Its limbs still twitched slightly, but could no longer support the broken shell of its body.

In the air, a multifaceted polyhedron tumbled among the shattered black scales, its facets refracting moonlight, like a misplaced star.

The dying Azra's only remaining dragon eye widened sharply, recognizing that object.

"Mother... she actually gave that to you..." Its voice was hoarse, weak, yet full of shock, "And you... didn't use it earlier?"

The large dragon emerged from the ruins, its claws pushing away rubble, picking up the polyhedron, tucking it into the inside of an intact scale on its neck, incidentally giving a smack with its claw to kill a sneaky Scout Puki approaching the polyhedron.

"If I used it, you wouldn't accept it." The large dragon lowered its eyes, looking at the dying Azra, "But didn't you refuse to acknowledge her as mother?"

Azra remained silent for a long time, so long that the large dragon thought it had died.

Then the broken shell trembled slightly, emitting a final laugh.

"Ha... haha..."

"When we were born... who didn't feel that she was a mother?"

"Except Silvia... doesn't need us, the children..."

With the last few words spoken, the light in Azra's pupils completely dissipated, and a massive power transferred from it to the large dragon.

The large dragon's eyes showed no joy.

"Just like you too."

With a soft sigh, the large dragon soared into the air, swiftly flying north — the last competitor on the Ancient Dragon Path was there!
