How Do We Play If This Boss Isn't Nerfed?

At that moment, the Wrathscale in the sea seemed to grow angry at its own inexplicable cowardice.

It couldn’t understand why it would fear such a tiny human!

This was an insult to its status as a powerful being!

If its previous attacks were merely it going through the motions to fulfill its master’s command, then now, it was truly enraged.

ROAR—!!!

With a roar that shook the heavens, the Wrathscale shook its enormous head, its crimson vertical pupils once again consumed by madness.

It abruptly raised a giant claw covered in dark red Scale Armor, its talons glinting with a cold light that could tear steel, and slammed it down viciously toward the figure on the deck that had brought it such shame!

Lin Ye’s brow furrowed slightly.

’Insolent little thing.’

’In terms of bloodline, this flood dragon was just a young whelp compared to the long-lived Dragon Race.’

’And the Ancient Dragon Blood in my veins? I’d probably be its ancestor’s ancestor.’

Lin Ye found it somewhat amusing to be provoked by a descendant so many generations removed he couldn’t even count them.

The next moment.

His right eye was suddenly plated in a layer of brilliant, blazing gold.

His jet-black pupil elongated in an instant, transforming into an imposing vertical slit!

A pressure that defied description, an ancient authority originating from the very apex of life, spread out like an invisible tide!

The giant claw, which had been slamming down with devastating force, suddenly froze in mid-air. All of its power vanished in an instant.

Immediately after, the Wrathscale let out a panicked, mournful howl, like a dog that had its tail stepped on.

"AWOOO—!"

Its massive body shot backward as if electrocuted, and it dove headfirst into the sea. It scrambled back over a hundred meters before it dared to poke its head out again, its eyes filled with terror and submission as it cautiously watched Lin Ye.

The conference room was deathly silent.

Everyone seemed to have been hit by a Body Fixing Skill, staring blankly at the unbelievable scene on the light screen.

They watched the young man who, with a single glance, had scared a Deep Sea Dragon Beast witless.

Looking at the distant dragon beast’s eyes, filled with terror and submission, Lin Ye suddenly found it rather funny.

He tentatively beckoned to the distant Wrathscale.

In the sea, the Wrathscale’s massive body trembled violently.

A flicker of conflict appeared in its crimson vertical pupils.

Reason told it that the aura emanating from this human inspired a soul-deep terror, and it had to get away immediately.

But the instinct from the very depths of its bloodline was like an undeniable imperial edict, compelling it to obey the command.

After a brief internal conflict, instinct triumphed over reason.

The Wrathscale let out a low whimper, its massive body cautiously inching closer and closer to the ferry.

It closed its lantern-sized eyes, its entire body trembling uncontrollably, looking as if it were offering its neck for the slaughter.

It was as if it wouldn’t resist in the slightest, even if Lin Ye were to take its life right then and there.

The crew members on deck and in the cabins had long since been struck dumb by this chain of events, their jaws hanging open.

They looked at the terrifying behemoth—so ferocious just moments ago, yet now as docile as a kitten. Then they looked at the young man, who was completely unfazed, as if he’d done nothing more than a trivial chore. Their gazes toward Lin Ye were filled not only with shock, but also with a deep, heartfelt awe.

Lin Ye reached out and gently stroked the ferocious head, which was larger than his entire body.

A gentle wave of Spirit, filled with goodwill, flowed from his palm into the beast.

The next moment, the Wrathscale’s huge, tightly shut eyes slowly opened.

The fear and terror in its eyes instantly receded.

The bone-deep brutality and madness from before had vanished without a trace.

Now, in those crimson vertical pupils, only one thing remained...

...a clear, innocent stupidity.

SPLASH!

On the sea’s surface behind the ferry, a massive dragon tail covered in dark red Scale Armor burst from the water. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of countless onlookers, it began to wag cheerfully.

The massive tail slapped against the sea, sending towering plumes of water into the air.
