Chapter 502: Even This Dragon Has the Primordial Rune, It Grows Tenfold

Bang—a deafening roar.

Jiang Chen's axe and Ya Lei Ge Si's two‑handed sword clashed violently, the air itself seemed torn by the force, and the surrounding space warped slightly.

Jiang Chen's figure flickered, and the powerful blow sent him flying backward. He wasn't surprised; after all, he was only level 53, and even with the Concentration Skill his power cap was just one million.

His opponent, however, was an 88‑level revertive bloodline Dragon Knight, whose strength far surpassed his.

Ya Lei Ge Si's strength and physique were inevitably far beyond his, and with the revertive bloodline activated, merging with the aura of the Iron‑winged Lizard, his power surged dramatically.

Jiang Chen understood that with strength alone he could not match his opponent. Yet battle does not depend solely on power.

He quickly readjusted his stance, preparing for the next assault. Ya Lei Ge Si charged forward with an excited roar, and the two clashed again.

Though Jiang Chen lacked raw power, his combat technique was superb. He deftly evaded the opponent's attacks while seeking a chance to counter.

After several tens of seconds, the Concentration Skill's effect faded, and Jiang Chen knew he could no longer press a brute-force fight. He swiftly retreated and applied a layer of Bone Armor to boost his defense.

Ya Lei Ge Si pursued relentlessly, but just as he was about to strike, a burst of light erupted from his body. Simultaneously, a hail of sharp arrows rained down on him, clanging with a tinkling sound.

The Undead Legion intervened, their attacks breaking Ya Lei Ge Si's rhythm. Ya Lei Ge Si looked at Jiang Chen's unflustered face and responded with a scornful smile.

That smile made Ya

Lei Ge Si angry; he had never been so despised. As a revertive bloodline Dragon Knight, he had always regarded himself as invincible.

"How dare you underestimate me, I will make you pay!" Ya Lei Ge Si roared, madness and murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He resolved to spare no mercy, intending to annihilate Jiang Chen with his utmost power.

However, Jiang Chen seemed unfazed by his fury. He calmly stared at Ya Lei Ge Si, a mocking grin curling at the corner of his mouth.

He knew the Dragon Race's intellect was limited, yet he hadn't expected even a revertive bloodline Dragon to be the same.

In Jiang Chen's view, the battle held no suspense. He only needed to wait patiently for the chance, then strike down his opponent in one blow.

Ya Lei Ge Si's attack power was clearly insufficient, far lagging behind the earlier formation.

Such strength couldn't even reach the Pseudo‑God level; it was far from being able to kill Jiang Chen.

Not to mention killing him; even if he were forced to stand still while Ya Lei Ge Si attacked, Jiang Chen would remain unharmed.

Damage Transfer and the Lich General's Healing Skill are not mere decorations; they grant Jiang Chen powerful protection.

Jiang Chen felt a bit puzzled, wondering if the guy still didn't get it. He lightly tapped his finger.

Skill: Aging Curse!

Skill: Lethal Poison Starburst!

Ya Lei Ge Si simultaneously triggered both skills, and his speed instantly slowed.

The change in rhythm made him extremely uneasy, massive energy surged from his body, attempting to erase the curses.

The Dragon Race is naturally resistant to curses, and with his level far exceeding Jiang Chen's, the curses would be erased within seconds.

However, these few seconds of

time were already enough for Jiang Chen.

Ya Lei Ge Si didn't notice that during those brief moments, the Undead Legion had already surrounded him completely.

At that moment, Jiang Chen's move would be a finishing blow.

Six‑colored light flickered, and fierce flames rose from Ya Lei Ge Si's body, while Lightning poured down from above like a raging storm.

"What the hell is this!" Ya Lei Ge Si shouted, dazed by the blows, unable to comprehend where the attacks originated, why his body was on fire, or what the Lightning overhead meant.

Although the damage wasn't fatal, the relentless burning and the paralysis from the Lightning made him extremely uncomfortable.

At that moment, an Aura appeared beneath the Undead Legion, flashing a dazzling array of colors.

The Skeleton Berserker was already fast, and with the Aura's boost, his speed increased by another third.

They swiftly closed in, encircling Ya Lei Ge Si completely.

With Jiang Chen's meticulous preparation, everything was completed in the blink of an eye.

Finishing blow initiated!

Jiang Chen treated Ya Lei Ge Si as a World-Class Boss, which was already a very high‑level treatment.

After all, his vitality was far below that of a World BOSS.

Jiang Chen activated the "Soldier" rune on the back of his left hand.

"Strong Soldier" skill erupted instantly.

He stood at the rear, quietly observing the battle. Meanwhile, Ya Na Liu Si shouted repeatedly, "Watch out, he activated the Primordial Rune!"

Ya Lei Ge Si laughed wildly, "Primordial Rune, this dragon also has!"

Even the back of his hand emitted a dazzling light, reflecting Jiang Chen's Primordial Rune.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, not expecting

that the opponent also possessed the Primordial Rune.

He thought to himself that the Primordial Rune appears nine times every century, not exclusive to the Human Race; Demons and the Dragon Race also have chances to obtain it.

Therefore, Ya Lei Ge Si having it was not surprising.

Jiang Chen was unaware of the exact function of the opponent's Primordial Rune; it was undoubtedly a secret not easily shared with outsiders.

Presumably, even his brother Ya Na Liu Si knew nothing about it.

Ya Lei Ge Si activated the Primordial Rune, his whole body instantly dazzling, and his stature rapidly expanded.

Originally, he stood three meters tall, already a giant among the Human Race.

Now, his height surged to thirty meters, like a towering mountain peak.

Moreover, the Iron‑winged Lizard beneath his feet also grew, now over two hundred meters long, also tenfold larger.

Ya Lei Ge Si roared incessantly, arrogantly shouting, "My dragon body has grown tenfold, and my attack power tenfold as well; what will you use to match this dragon?"

"Relying on that broken‑bone frame, it's utterly unworthy of a fight!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head; the opponent seemed overly confident in his abilities, carelessly revealing the skill's effect.

"That brain, truly beyond saving," Jiang Chen thought to himself.

He says no more, waves his hand to signal the Skeleton Berserker to launch an attack.

These Skeleton Berserkers each unleash powerful Skills, their axes bearing a biting cold wind slashing head‑first toward Aregos.

Previously Aregos was smaller, so the number of Skeleton Berserkers it could endure at once was limited.

But now its body has become so massive that the Skeleton Berserkers can launch attacks without restraint

The axes' Red Light, imbued with the Skill, falls and collides with the sword light swung by Aregos's dual swords.

Aregos, who had been laughing wildly and scoffing, suddenly fell silent at the moment of impact.

The Skeleton Berserker's power erupts astonishingly; even though Aregos's attack power has increased tenfold, it can only gain a slight edge over the Skeleton Berserker.

A few Skeleton Berserkers are blasted away, but more axes have already struck Aregos's body.

Its defense is breached in an instant, and wails of agony erupt continuously.

Moreover, the Ironwing Lizard beneath it also suffers the Skeleton Berserkers' fierce assault, its flesh and blood splattering, bones laid bare.

Elemental power roars, and the fierce Explosion sounds rise and fall.

Sharp arrows rain down like droplets, instantly turning Aregos into a hedgehog.

Jiang Chen watches coldly, silently judging, "Its strength and size have increased, but its defense hasn't improved at all."

"This Primordial Rune doesn't seem as remarkable as I imagined."

In Jiang Chen's view, the Skill granted by the Primordial Rune is strong, yet to others, a tenfold Strength Amplify alone would make Aregos an unmatched powerhouse.

One force suppresses ten; such Amplify would make any opponent cower.

However, from Jiang Chen's perspective, this Amplify appears plain and unremarkable.

He commands many Summoned Entities; the effect the Primordial Rune can exert in his hands far surpasses that of other professions.

For example, his "Strong Soldier" Skill, in a typical Summoner's hands, might only boost a Summoned Beast's combat power several times.

After all, most Summoners can control only a limited number of summons

— the number of beasts is limited, usually not exceeding three.

But Jiang Chen is different; his Undead Legion is like a massive army, its combat Amplify having long surpassed ordinary imagination.

Jiang Chen knows that it is not the Primordial Rune that has revolutionized his profession.

On the contrary, it is his profession that allows the Primordial Rune's power to be fully realized.

His profession is the source of all his power; everything else is merely embellishment.

"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Aregos swings his massive blade, repeatedly slashing the charging Skeleton Berserkers into the air.

Yet these Skeleton Berserkers seem endless; one falls, another rises, continuously scarred upon him.

The Skeleton Great Mage's and Divine Archer's ranged attacks never cease, battering Aregos with excruciating pain.

The Ironwing Lizard beneath it keeps low‑roaring, clearly enduring great agony.

Aregos has gone mad; it tries to break through the encirclement and strike Jiang Chen down directly.

But no matter how hard it tries, it cannot breach the copper‑wall iron‑shield formed by the Undead Legion.

"Is its vitality really that tenacious?"

Jiang Chen is somewhat surprised.

Whether Dragon Race or Demon, though their attributes are strong, their vitality pales compared to world‑class BOSSes.

He had thought Aregos would be quickly defeated under such assault, but didn't expect it to endure so long.

Flames in Jiang Chen's hand blaze fiercely, and the Soul Burn Skill falls silently.

Aregos instantly lets out an earth‑shaking wail, its great sword almost

fails to be held.

Meanwhile, the Ironwing Lizard beneath it trembles entirely, emitting a painful scream.

"So that's it!"

Jiang Chen suddenly realizes.

He understands why Aregos can endure such prolonged attacks without falling.

It turns out its vitality isn't truly that great; the Ironwing Lizard beneath it bears most of the damage for it.

This also explains why the Soul Burn Skill inflicts such massive damage on it—because the Ironwing Lizard also suffers the attack.

Now that the secret is known, there's nothing to worry about.

Jiang Chen merely smiles faintly, continuing to command the Undead Legion to attack.

This battle is nothing more than a slight waste of time.
