Chapter 358 - 353: Old Coward
The power of the Sanmei Divine Wind may not be as high as the Samadhi True Fire. You should know that Samadhi True Fire is also a high-level reward; it can not only burn external objects but also scorch souls. However, it has an attack range that Samadhi True Fire can never match, and a massive mana consumption that Samadhi True Fire can never surpass.
Anyway, once the Sanmei Divine Wind blows, all demons and monsters are reduced to dust. Leon’s mana is also drained away like water through an open gate, consuming nearly all of it in a short time, so he must cautiously consider using spells next.
If Delaguna still has any last resorts, an Ancient Black Dragon that has lived for thousands of years must have accumulated quite a bit, or if other guild leaders come to aid, after all, one of the five guild leaders of Crossroads City is a Witch Demon, and a Witch Demon certainly wouldn’t mind allying with an Ancient Black Dragon. In that case, it would be Leon’s turn to make a strategic retreat.
Now, thinking about it doesn’t help. Mana isn’t entirely depleted, facing a Black Dragon that bullies the weak and fears the strong requires a hard punch. Leon stomped his legs, flapped his wings fiercely, and swung his tail to take flight.
Kobolds, skeletons, zombies are not worth mentioning, but Zombie Dragons and Giant Fusion Monsters are not weak, especially the latter, which can even defeat an adult Red Dragon. The Red Dragon that just had its centuries-old accumulation blown away by a gust of wind took to the skies once again, leaving Delaguna with no time to think and not daring to stop.
Leon flew quite fast. If the mobile chest ornament he obtained from Slankus’s Treasure Vault were still adorned on his Dragon Armor and hadn’t been corroded by the Ancient Black Dragon’s strong acid, he could be even faster, but the Ancient Black Dragon’s speed was no slower than his.
Leon didn’t forget he had 72 Transformations, but attempting to transform into a Falcon Eagle or an Air Element was useless, and transforming into a Transformed Genie didn’t allow him to use Wind Riding. Even if he occasionally bumped into Delaguna, it was hard to cause effective damage.
Yes, he’s quite formidable now; there are few weaklings on the Material Plane. But he’s lacking a spell that enhances mobility, not knowing when he could learn the Somersault Cloud through a Golden Finger reward... there shouldn’t be any spell faster than the Somersault Cloud, which can take him eighty thousand miles away in a single leap.
High-level battles have this downside: everyone has tough skin and powerful techniques. When one side is determined to flee, it’s hard for the other to easily kill them, often dragging battles out for several days and nights or even longer. If the Kraken hadn’t fled to Volcanic Island back then, Leon would at most have driven it away.
This is Crossroads City, not his territory. With several guild leaders in Crossroads City, he should avoid making profits only for others while suffering losses himself.
Thinking this, Leon decided to let Delaguna go for now and first raid the other’s lair... Black Dragon lairs are usually located in dark caves, grottos, or at least partially submerged ruins, likely unaffected by his Sanmei Divine Wind.
