Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Demigod Experts, the Powerful Bone Dragon
“Keep it for yourself. I’ve already refined the Immortals’ treasures. Where is this Secret Area? Let’s get you leveled up,” John said, shifting his gaze. He wasn’t interested in the Skyline Continent’s divine treasures.

Among the women around him, Ada was suited for them, but since they belonged to Malina, he didn’t feel right asking her for them.

Perhaps there would be another set of human treasures in this Secret Area.

“Then I’ll refine it myself.” Malina no longer insisted and eagerly began to refine the set of treasures. Sure enough, her four main attributes increased by 10,000 points, greatly enhancing her power.

“Let’s go, Godslayer. I’ll take you into the Secret Area.” She was thrilled as she led John deeper into the city.

John was puzzled and asked, “Is the Secret Area inside the city?”

“Yeah.” Malina nodded and explained, “It appeared unexpectedly after you opened the Divine Path seal.”

She guided John to the back of the City Lord’s Manor, where tall weeds concealed a cave. Players were stationed nearby, and upon seeing the two, they greeted them warmly.

“Alright, you guys can step back now.” She waved her hand impatiently, noticing that the players were more enthusiastic about John than her.

“This is it.” She entered first, and as the cave was dark, she instinctively pressed closer to John.

The cave wasn’t deep. Soon, a beam of light shone through, marking the exit of the cave.

Outside the cave, the surroundings were lush and verdant, with dense vegetation and beasts roaming about— all were epic-tier six or above Beast Clan experts.

Malina swallowed nervously and pointed to a nearby skeleton, saying, “This is where I found the human treasure.”

John curiously examined the skeleton, noting it bore no divine aura. It was likely a tier nine expert from the Skyline Continent who had fallen here after refining a treasure.

“By the way, I also have a few Spirit Stones. Do you need them?” Malina suddenly remembered and pulled out four Spirit Stones.

“Very useful!” John didn’t hesitate to take them; what he needed most were Spirit Stones to convert into magic power.

If he transformed all his magic power into spiritual power, he could fully fuse the Immortals’ treasures.

“Hmph!” Malina let out a dissatisfied huff, wanting to negotiate terms but hesitated and decided against it.

“Let’s go. I’ll get you leveled up.” John stepped out of the cave.

The cave exit was well-concealed, and the beasts roaming nearby didn’t notice them; otherwise, Malina’s Phoenix City would have surely been overrun.

“Intruders!”

“Humans?”

“Dare to invade Beast Clan territory? Go, kill them!”

As the two appeared, they immediately caught the attention of the surrounding beasts, which launched an attack on them.

John scoffed; the Three-Foot Black Dragon Sword flew out, splitting into three and mercilessly slaughtering the nearby beasts.

These epic-tier six beasts were no match for him.

Malina raised her staff halfway, but before she could cast a spell, the dozen or so beasts around them were all annihilated.

“Y-You’ve gotten even stronger?” She glanced at John, feeling a blow to her confidence.

During this time, she had worked hard to improve her strength and had just refined the human treasures, greatly enhancing her power.

But compared to John, she still felt weak and insignificant.

He ignored her, sensing carefully and warning, “Be careful; there are divine beings nearby!”

“Divine beings?” Malina swallowed hard and quickly hid behind John, alert and nervously asking, “Can we handle them? Or maybe we should just leave.”

She worried; divine beings were far beyond tier nine, and ordinary players were no match for them.

“Don’t worry; it’ll be fine.” John looked unconcerned; he could feel that the divine aura wasn’t very strong and likely belonged to a demigod.

He was more than capable of dealing with it.

After collecting their spoils, they continued deeper into the area.

As they ventured further, the beasts they encountered grew stronger, with the weakest now being legendary tier seven beasts.

However, the legendary tier seven beasts were still no match for John, who easily defeated them.

Malina hid behind him, astonished, and couldn’t help but ask, “Godslayer, can you handle divine beings?”

“Not really. But I can kill demigod experts,” John replied.

Malina was confused.

Not really?

Kill demigod experts?

Wasn’t that contradictory?

She didn’t want to press further and obediently followed John, cleaning up the battlefield where the beasts had dropped nothing but divine artifacts!

This thrilled her immensely.

Before long, they had reached the depths of the Secret Area, where they encountered nothing but tier nine legendary beasts, their power terrifying.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed, accompanied by sounds of battle in the distance.

A group of beasts was chasing an elderly man.

“Hm? Ben!” John recognized the fleeing elder; it was Ben.

He was at the peak of tier nine strength but was in dire straits, wounded and surrounded by numerous tier nine beasts.

Buzz!

With a resonant sword intent, John decisively intervened, unleashing the Infinite Sword Array, showering the area with sword blades and causing heavy casualties among the tier nine beasts.

“Kid, what are you doing here?” Ben, relieved by the sudden assistance, finally noticed John and looked alarmed.

“Get out of here! This is no place for you!” He pulled John, trying to leave.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a fierce wind howled, and a terrifying pressure descended.

Boom!

Dark clouds roiled overhead, and thunder rumbled ominously.

“Bone Dragon!?” John exclaimed, recognizing the creature in the dark clouds—a massive dragon made entirely of bones, stretching several thousand meters long.

Its aura unmistakably belonged to a demigod expert.

Seeing this, Malina’s expression turned to one of terror, her legs trembling, unable to even run away.

Is this what divine beings are like? So terrifying!

Despair filled her heart as she abandoned any hope of struggle and glanced at John, filled with regret.

She didn’t believe John could stand against such a monstrous Bone Dragon.

If she hadn’t insisted on bringing him to explore the Secret Area, he wouldn’t be in danger now.

“Kid, I really drew the short straw meeting you. You should run; I’ll hold it off!” Ben cursed as he pushed John aside and charged toward the Bone Dragon.

“Elder!” John was startled and didn’t have time to stop him.

A confrontation between a tier nine expert and a demigod was akin to suicide.

Bang!

With a deafening crash, blood sprayed as Ben was sent flying backward at an incredible speed.

John rushed forward to catch him, relieved to see he was not in mortal danger. He exhaled and said, “Elder, have you lost your mind? That’s a demigod expert!”

“Cough!” Ben spat out a mouthful of blood, weakly saying, “Its target is you.”

“Me?” John was puzzled as he looked at the massive Bone Dragon circling in the sky.

“Hmm? The aura of the savior. Ben, the savior you prophesied is actually a human!” A thunderous voice echoed as the Bone Dragon’s huge, blood-red eyes fixed intensely on John, filled with surprise and excitement. “I was just looking for you; I didn’t expect you to deliver yourself right to me.”

“My lord!” Ben wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, struggling to rise and standing in front of John. “He hasn’t awakened his bloodlines; killing him would be useless.”

“Hasn’t awakened his bloodlines?” The Bone Dragon mused, staring at John as a surge of power flowed into him.

John was startled and instinctively wanted to resist, but he quickly realized this power posed no threat.

“Indeed,” the Bone Dragon said, disappointment evident in its voice. “However, the savior of the Beast Clan cannot be a human. Kid, you’re still doomed!”

A fierce wind howled, and beneath the dark clouds, lightning flickered ominously, the terrifying pressure enveloping the entire Secret Area.

All the beasts trembled in fear, collapsing to the ground.

“My lord!” Ben spread his arms, blocking John, gritting his teeth as he said, “You simply want to awaken the Azure Dragon bloodlines, and only the Flower Fairy can do that. She is still alive.”

“Oh?” The Bone Dragon ceased its attack; the temptation of the Flower Fairy was greater than that of this human savior.

It turned to Ben and said coolly, “Go fetch the Flower Fairy and trade her for this human.”

“My lord, that would require you to go in person,” Ben directly refused. He intended to utilize the demon race, Michelle and Kamal, who were in seclusion in the Death Land, to deal with the Bone Dragon.

“Hmph, do you think I’m a fool?” The Bone Dragon was not deceived; the world of Gods had already been locked down by the gods, and a reckless descent would mean certain death.

“You will fetch the Flower Fairy immediately, or I will kill this human!” it roared, a massive Dragon’s Might spreading, forming a dragon claw in the void, reaching for John!

“Fine, I agree!” Ben had no choice but to grit his teeth and comply.

“Just stay put!” John interrupted him directly, a sharp sword light whistling as it slashed toward the approaching dragon claw.

Boom!

With a thunderous sound, fierce winds roared as he soared into the sky. The powers of light and darkness spread, and the Spell Combo was triggered, instantly summoning five magical attacks that struck the Bone Dragon.

Boom…

-1,338,000

-1,125,000

…

A series of damage numbers flashed, all true damage, directly reducing the Bone Dragon’s health by over six million points.

“Hmm? The powers of light and darkness!” The Bone Dragon was surprised, but its gaze became even more excited. “You truly are the savior from the prophecy; however, your powers will soon belong to me.”

As it spoke, its massive body twisted, dark clouds roiling, and a thick dragon tail swept towards John.

Boom!

John was sent flying with no ability to resist, instantly defeated.

[You were killed by the Azure Dragon; The Blessed Ring activated, you are resurrected at full health.]

The prompt appeared, and John remained unharmed.

Ben, knowing John’s abilities, quickly reminded him, “Kid, it has a dragon soul attack; you’re no match for it.”

“Thanks for the tip!” John shot him a glare; the old man was just being a nuisance. If he hadn’t warned him, the Bone Dragon might not have used the soul attack.

Sure enough.

The Bone Dragon unleashed its soul skill, Dragon Soul Roar!

Roar!

With a dragon’s roar, the power of the soul transformed into a massive dragon that surged forward.

John could clearly sense the strength of the Bone Dragon’s soul, far surpassing his own.

Not daring to underestimate it, he quickly activated Soul Barrier.

Boom!

The dragon soul surged toward him, the roar echoing in his mind as the Soul Barrier shattered instantly, the immense impact striking at his very soul.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a surge of azure light erupted from the depths of his soul, barely deflecting the soul attack.

Even so, his soul sustained heavy damage.
