“Ha!” Heiqi Long was stubborn, staying glued to the dragon’s head.
She gathered all her strength and thrust her blade toward the Dragon Pupil.
K-crack!
A sharp sound echoed as the dragon’s eyelid was finally breached and sliced open.
Boom! In the next instant, the Red Dragon crashed heavily at the foot of Dragon Spine Mountain.
A powerful shockwave erupted, causing the entire mountain to tremble and kicking up a massive cloud of dust that refused to dissipate for a long time.
Cough, cough… The massive silhouette of the dragon had vanished.
Amidst the sounds of coughing, a strange humanoid monster slowly rose from the ground.
It turned out that Jukkido Simon had reverted to her human form.
She realized that her dragon form was at a severe disadvantage against her daughter.
Her Dragon Breath Protection was ineffective against the girl, and once her daughter climbed onto her upper body, she was left with no options.
It was incredibly frustrating.
To deal with her daughter, she had to return to her nimble and compact human form.
However, she did not fully revert to a normal human state. Instead, she took on a half-dragon, half-human combat form.
Although her School Uniform had been shredded, Simon was now covered in large plates of crimson Dragon Scales.
She possessed an exceptionally long and thick dragon tail, and Dragon Horns protruded from her head.
Her hands and feet remained in a monstrous state of Dragon Claws and dragon legs, while only her torso and face remained somewhat human.
She shook her head violently to clear her mind.
But the waves of stinging pain from her face and the loss of vision immediately threw Simon back into a rage.
One of her eyes had been slashed by the Hero’s Sword and was bleeding continuously.
Such a wound on the eyelid was difficult to heal quickly.
If one had to name a weakness of the Ancient Dragon, it was that their self-healing abilities were somewhat lacking.
Minor wounds were negligible, but some major injuries might not be repaired even after 100 years.
“Hah…” A low groan came from not far away as another figure slowly emerged.
Heiqi Long was indeed not so easily killed.
At the moment of impact, she had broken free from the dragon’s head before it hit the ground.
Though she had taken a very, very nasty fall, she was still an Ancient Dragon by nature and was protected by her Dragon Scale Armor.
She stood up, stretched her body, and seemed perfectly fine.
However, Heiqi Long’s Dragon Scale Armor had been shattered in the fall, making her look more human.
She still gripped the Hero’s Sword tightly, though the sword’s special ability had vanished, no longer providing her with special protection.
We now know that the sword had been remotely absorbing White Feather Dove’s Dark Moon Magic.
After those consecutive bitter battles, Baicheng must have been completely drained of her Magic.
Now, Heiqi Long had to rely on her true strength to face the Dragon Father.
When Blackie saw the Dragon Father’s appearance, she didn’t have her usual angry or playful expression. Instead, she became extremely serious and focused.
Having cleared the second phase of Jukkido Simon, she hadn’t expected there to be a third phase — this half-human, half-dragon Comprehensive Combat Mode.
In this state, Jukkido Simon possessed the flexibility of a human and the raw power of a dragon.
This was why it was called the Comprehensive Combat Mode; it was her most troublesome and strongest form.
The only good news was that she had injured one of Jukkido Simon’s eyes, which would greatly hinder her vision.
Whoosh! Without a word, Jukkido Simon suddenly lunged forward.
She swung her Dragon Claws, which were wreathed in burning Dragon Breath, in a violent strike.
Her attack speed was incredibly fast. A mere afterimage flickered before the killing blow was already in front of Heiqi Long.
Bang! Heiqi Long raised the Hero’s Sword to block the strike. She was forced back several steps before she managed to steady herself.
It wasn’t just speed; the Dragon Father’s power was much more ferocious and concentrated than in her human form.
If not for the indestructible Hero’s Sword serving as a shield, her Dragon Scale Armor might not have been able to withstand such hybrid damage.
The most difficult part of an Awakened Red Dragon was her hybrid damage capability — a dual enhancement of Magic and physical strength.
No defensive ability could claim to perfectly block a Red Dragon’s attack.
Wait, that wasn’t entirely true. There was one.
It was the Hero’s Sword in her hand.
The passive skill of this sword was that it could never be destroyed.
No one knew what material it was made of, but it was immune to both physical and magical damage.
No attack could leave a single mark on it.
Although the blade was laughably blunt — with an attack power roughly equal to an iron rod — Heiqi Long now understood its true purpose. It was meant to be used as an invincible shield.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jukkido Simon launched a relentless flurry of Dragon Breath swipes.
Heiqi Long used the Hero’s Sword to block left and right.
Although it was difficult to find an opening to counterattack, she actually managed to endure all of the Dragon Father’s strikes.
“Little Black! Why can’t you just listen to me?”
Jukkido Simon suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a Dragon Breath Shell, just like a standard Ancient Dragon.
! Heiqi Long swung her sword to block, but the explosion of the Dragon Breath blasted her backward.
A Red Dragon’s combat intelligence was not low at all.
She had immediately found a countermeasure: the Hero’s Sword could block her Dragon Claws, but it couldn’t stop the shockwave of her Dragon Breath.
However, Heiqi Long quickly scrambled back to her feet. Her Dragon Scale Armor had already mostly repaired itself.
Since the Dragon Breath Bomb was a magical attack, the actual damage dealt to her was minimal.
… Jukkido Simon watched her daughter stand up and resist her again and again, her expression becoming more and more hideous.
“Did you forget to eat? Your breath can’t even move me!” Seeing her opponent daze out, Heiqi Long decisively swung the Hero’s Sword and flew forward for a heavy slash.
She focused her relentless attacks on the Dragon Father’s blind side, showing no sportsmanship as she aimed to strike while her opponent was down.
Jukkido Simon instantly spun 360 degrees and whipped her dragon tail, striking the Hero’s Sword.
Like swatting a mosquito, she sent Heiqi Long flying.
However, it was the same as before. Heiqi Long slammed hard into the ground but quickly climbed back up to continue the fight.
Jukkido Simon began to sweat. A faint, ominous premonition crept over her, a feeling that she might meet her downfall here today.
She could overpower her daughter, but she couldn’t kill her. Meanwhile, her daughter could wear her down by relying on her superior tenacity.
As more and more Dragon Blood flowed from her eyelid, her vision blurred, and she gradually lost track of her daughter’s movements.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gradually, Heiqi Long’s Earthly Triple Slash successfully landed on Jukkido Simon.
Simon felt as though she had been struck several times by a heavy hammer.
For the first time, she felt the weight of her enemy’s attacks and the significant impact they had on her body.
“Ha!”
Jukkido Simon descended into a Blood Fury. Her dragon tail whipped around with violent force, forcing Heiqi Long back.
“You’re finished, Jukkido Simon.” Seeing her opponent pushed to the brink, Heiqi Long proclaimed her victory in advance.
“I won’t lose! I will never lose!” Jukkido Simon lunged at Heiqi Long once more, striking out with both claws from mid-air.
“You, who have long forgotten your original intentions, are destined for failure.” Heiqi Long spoke in grand clichés, which only made her opponent even more furious.
