Chapter 968: Legendary Skill!

Nie Yan’s heart was filled with ecstatic joy and excitement.

Originally, shortly after returning to the game, Nie Yan felt that it would be hopeless to reach the peak again. However, as the Light-Dark Holy Dragon gradually increased in level, its terrifying monster-killing speed became evident. It seemed that returning to the top might not be an unattainable dream after all.

All hopes rested on the Light-Dark Holy Dragon! If not for obtaining the pet egg of this Light-Dark Holy Dragon three years ago, Nie Yan would never have been able to level up so effortlessly.

Although he hadn’t logged in for three years, Nie Yan’s accumulated resources were still formidable, far beyond what ordinary players could rival. He possessed numerous high-quality items with great potential for enhancement.

Such as the pet egg of the Light-Dark Holy Dragon, Zennarde Sword, Scythe of the Reaper, Paternoster Hammer, Abacus Set, and so on. With these treasures at his disposal, as long as Nie Yan was willing to put in the effort, returning to the ranks of top players was inevitable. The only uncertainty was whether he could reach the same level as three years ago, becoming the absolute number one player in the game and standing above all others. After all, players like Tang Yao and Duo Duo also possessed remarkable talents and extraordinary opportunities.

Reaching level 200 meant that the Light-Dark Holy Dragon brought Nie Yan one step closer to regaining his former glory.

Excitedly, Nie Yan opened the attribute page of the Light-Dark Holy Dragon.

After leveling up to 200, the Light-Dark Holy Dragon’s attributes had significantly increased again. Additionally, it gained two legendary skills: Clone and Fury.

Clone: The Light-Dark Holy Dragon can transform into five clones simultaneously, each possessing 100% of the original’s combat power. This lasts for one hour. During this time, as long as one clone remains alive, the Light-Dark Holy Dragon will not die. The skill has a cooldown period of one full day.

Seeing this clone skill, Nie Yan couldn’t help but feel moved. No wonder it was a legendary skill, far superior to Nie Yan’s Shadow Assassin skill. Not only could it create five clones, but as long as one survived, the Light-Dark Holy Dragon would live. The strength of this skill surpassed even the most powerful forbidden spells. Considering that each clone could cast forbidden spells, and each Light-Dark Holy Dragon had two heads, ten consecutive forbidden spells could probably deal a significant amount of damage to a level 200 demonic lord.

The other legendary skill was Fury. When in Fury mode, the Light-Dark Holy Dragon’s attributes tripled for ten minutes, with a cooldown period of five hours.

This Fury skill, if used by the Light-Dark Holy Dragon, would be terrifying. With a cooldown of five hours, it could be used approximately three times a day!

Nie Yan glanced at the name of the Light-Dark Holy Dragon. He hadn’t noticed earlier, but now he accidentally discovered that the name had changed.

Originally just “Light-Dark Holy Dragon,” it was now “Legendary Beast Light-Dark Holy Dragon Garmeil Vorren.”

“Legendary Beast” likely referred to the Light-Dark Holy Dragon’s rank. As for Garmeil, that should be the dragon’s name. Nie Yan hadn’t expected it to have a name. Vorren must be the clan surname of the Light-Dark Holy Dragon.

The Light-Dark Holy Dragon had already reached the level of a legendary beast, its strength was absolutely rare.

Nie Yan browsed the official website and found that the Light-Dark Holy Dragon actually had a long history. It was the king among earth dragons. However, thousands of years ago, due to its weak reproductive ability, it eventually disappeared from history, leaving only one egg of the Light-Dark Holy Dragon, which had never hatched and was eventually lost.

This was documented, meaning that the Light-Dark Holy Dragon pet egg in Nie Yan’s possession was a unique treasure, one of a kind!

This alone made Nie Yan feel extremely excited. The older and rarer it was, the stronger its power must be. Fortunately, this only Light-Dark Holy Dragon pet egg had not fallen into someone else’s hands.

What Nie Yan didn’t know was that back then, he had spent a lot of effort to hatch the Light-Dark Holy Dragon pet egg, with the help of beast tamer Hall. Without his efforts, it might not have hatched at all. If it had fallen into someone else’s hands, it might not have hatched either.

Back then, hatching the Light-Dark Holy Dragon had become the key to Nie Yan’s return to the peak.

Thinking about this, Nie Yan couldn’t help but feel that the world’s cause and effect were truly wondrous!

With two legendary skills, the Light-Dark Holy Dragon should now be able to defeat the Dark Demon King.

Nie Yan flew toward one of the Dark Demon King’s spawn points. Previously, he had recorded all the spawn coordinates of the Dark Demon King and could now gradually clear them one by one.

After flying for over ten minutes, the towering figure of the Dark Demon King came into Nie Yan’s view. Standing about twenty to thirty yards tall, it resembled a primordial beast. Though it wasn’t his first encounter, seeing it up close still made Nie Yan inhale sharply. With just one step from this creature, he doubted whether the Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon could withstand its might.

If the Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon couldn’t hold their positions, even if the Light-Dark Holy Dragon could create clones, it would be useless.

Nie Yan observed the area and found that it was completely open, with no terrain features to exploit.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to take the risk. The Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon were high-level pets at level 190+ and should be able to withstand a few hits. As long as they could endure a few hits, Nie Yan would have a chance!

Nie Yan issued a command, and the Light-Dark Holy Dragon immediately split into five. Five identical Light-Dark Holy Dragons appeared in Nie Yan’s vision. Almost simultaneously, all five Light-Dark Holy Dragons activated their Fury state. Guardian Angel Kalenna continuously waved her staff, applying powerful buffs to the five Light-Dark Holy Dragons, the Golden Earth Dragon, and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon.

Seeing that everything was ready, Nie Yan steadied his mind. Regardless of the outcome, he decided to give it his all.

The Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon let out a sharp cry and charged toward the Dark Demon King.

This Dark Demon King was undoubtedly the strongest boss Nie Yan had encountered so far. Nie Yan didn’t intend to hold back either. He summoned his Shadow Assassin and flew toward the Dark Demon King.

The Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon opened their mouths simultaneously, spewing two streams of dragon breath. With a loud boom, they struck the Dark Demon King.

After being attacked, the Dark Demon King turned its head, roared, and charged toward the Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon at an astonishing speed.

With two loud thuds, the Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon were knocked backward five or six yards, taking over 300,000 points of damage each, losing nearly two-fifths of their health at once.

Despite being attacked, the Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon continued to charge forward relentlessly.

The Dark Demon King’s first wave of attack was ferocious. In close combat, it could only wield its massive axe, striking relentlessly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Over a dozen holy and dark magic spells struck the Dark Demon King simultaneously, the ferocious assault forcing him to roar in agony.

The Dark Demon King’s health bar was utterly unfathomable. Those ten spells must have dealt nearly a million points of damage, yet compared to the Dark Demon King’s colossal health pool, it remained negligible, barely making a dent in its vitality.

With a loud crash, the Golden Earth Dragon was kicked away again.

Without the powerful healing skills of Guardian Angel Kalenna and the paladin Lavers, the Golden Earth Dragon and the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon would have died countless times already.

Cataclysmic Calamity!

Nie Yan cast a curse effect on the Dark Demon King and continued his assault alongside his Shadow Assassin. The Zennarde Sword radiated a chilling gleam, emanating an overwhelming presence as each strike landed with thunderous force. After all, it was a divine weapon—every slash dealt staggering damage, inflicting 50,000 to 60,000 points per hit. The Shadow Assassin was no exception.

Even with its attributes weakened by nearly 50%, the Dark Demon King was still this formidable. Just how powerful would it be at full strength!

Tang Yao and Duo Duo could now solo level 200 demonic lords. Nie Yan became even more acutely aware of the gap between himself and them.

Under such fierce attacks, the Dark Demon King flew into a rage and swung its axe downward. With a thunderous boom, black flames erupted into the sky.

Nie Yan felt a heavy blow to his chest and was thrown backward, taking 80,000 points of damage. Meanwhile, the Shadow Assassin, Golden Earth Dragon, and Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon were also thrown backward.

Just as the Dark Demon King was on the verge of going berserk, one of the Light-Dark Holy Dragons opened its maw and unleashed a colossal black fireball, striking the Dark Demon King with tremendous force. A deafening explosion echoed as the impact sent the Dark Demon King staggering back five or six steps, inflicting over 1.5 million points of damage.

Dark God’s Flame, a single-target forbidden spell!

As the Dark Demon King had just regained its footing, another orb of white light struck it. The radiant light cascaded down, illuminating its body and instantly generating sizzling white smoke. The Dark Demon King shrieked in agony and staggered back several steps.

Holy Flame, a single-target forbidden spell!

Seeing that the single-target forbidden spells were so effective, Nie Yan issued commands to all five Light-Dark Holy Dragons.

From that moment on, the Dark Demon King endured relentless suffering. Each time it barely managed to regain its footing, it was immediately struck back by the single-target forbidden spells unleashed by the Light-Dark Holy Dragons, leaving it with scarcely any opportunity to launch an attack.

Five Light-Dark Holy Dragons, with ten heads, continuously used forbidden spells, one after another, seamlessly transitioning to another single-target forbidden spell after one round.

The Light-Dark Holy Dragon could use all the holy and dark single-target forbidden spells, with a total of ten different types. Rotating their use, the power was truly astonishing.

After fifty forbidden spells, even the Dark Demon King, no matter how powerful, would likely be reduced to dust.

After two rounds, with a total of twenty forbidden spells cast, the Dark Lord’s health was reduced by nearly 70%.

The Dark Demon King’s pitiful wails lingered in the air for a long time. Witnessing this level 200 demon lord being utterly crushed without any opportunity to fight back was truly exhilarating—even though this Dark Demon King’s attributes were only half those of a normal level 200 demon lord.

Another round of forbidden spells, and the Dark Demon King would surely perish. Nie Yan thought excitedly. As long as he could vanquish this Dark Demon King, the others wouldn’t escape either. He could take his time dealing with them one by one. He wondered what treasures they would drop for him!
