221. Chapter 220: Into the Heavens, Across the Seas

Luoning naturally faced risks by boarding the dragon's back in this manner.

Although this height of thirty meters was not enough to kill him if he fell, the dragon could fly to even greater altitudes at any moment.

A fall from thirty meters might not kill, but three hundred meters was a different story.

Yet, opportunity always exists alongside crisis.

Such a dragon held a fatal attraction for Luoning.

Do not forget, a Contract Scroll from the seven-day login reward was still lying quietly in his Space Ring!

A dragon—a legendary creature; no Magic Beast was more advanced than it.

If he could take it as his own Contract Magical Beast, it would be a tremendous boon for Luoning.

Therefore, facing such an opportunity, Luoning decided to take the gamble.

Of course, he had not boarded the dragon's back recklessly without any consideration.

First, although the dragon had appeared very powerful and shocking from the moment it emerged, upon careful listening and observation, its voice revealed exhaustion and weakness.

Second, the Level 6 Fire Attribute Magic, Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven, not only reversed the opponent's Flame Breath and killed Natalia, but also caused significant damage to the dragon's own body.

If this dragon were strong enough, it should not have suffered the slightest injury from the lingering power of the Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven magic.

Luoning judged that this dragon had not reached the peak of its life; its current strength was likely only Level 5 or 6.

Finally, even if Luoning were thrown from high altitude by the dragon, there was still a decent chance of survival if he operated correctly.

The risk existed, but facing a weak Level 5 or 6 dragon, he felt it was worth a shot.

In reality, many of Luoning's judgments were correct.

For instance, regarding the strength level, Kaierluosi was currently only a Level 5 dragon, and it was indeed in a weakened state.

This was mainly because it had been imprisoned here since birth.

Over these years, not only had it never been fed enough, but it had also been frequently enslaved by Natalia using a Horn, which kept its physique and spirit in a state of lethargy.

Just now in the battle, one Frost Breath and two Flame Breaths had already exhausted most of its Dragon Power and energy.

However, although it was extremely exhausted now, it was very happy in its heart.

Its scheme had succeeded.

In fact, from the moment Kaierluosi walked out of the cave, it had been looking for a chance to escape.

Once it became clear that this group of little crawlers could deal with Natalia, it had been waiting for the right moment.

When it saw Luoning cast the fierce Fire Dragon Swallowing Heaven spell, it knew the opportunity had arrived.

At the final moment, Kaierluosi withdrew nearly fifty or sixty percent of the power of its Flame Breath, tricking Natalia to her death.

Freedom!

It had been imprisoned for who knows how many years, and today it was finally free!

But Kaierluosi had not been happy for long before it discovered with horror that the human who used the scroll had actually appeared on its back!

For a few seconds, it was stunned.

This gave Luoning time; to prevent being thrown off by the dragon immediately, he stood firm and immediately took out a Wind Tentacle Scroll from his Space Ring to use.

The Wind Stream transformed into a rope, binding him firmly to the dragon's body.

This was a Level 4 wind magic; although its binding force could not trap this massive creature, one should not underestimate its binding power—at least it was enough to tie Luoning to the dragon.

Kaierluosi seemed to realize something; it let out an angry roar and flapped its wings, its massive body as agile as a fish in water, performing a 180-degree flip in the air to face its back toward the ground.

It wanted to throw Luoning off in this way.

Fortunately, Luoning had prepared a step ahead; no matter how the dragon swayed, dashed, or spun, he remained firmly stuck to its back.

Violent wind whistled in his ears, the strong gale blowing Luoning's silver hair wildly.

Kaierluosi was going mad, charging toward the nine heavens.

The thin air and plummeting temperature made Luoning somewhat uncomfortable, but he was a Silver Knight after all, with very high physical strength; as long as he circulated his Battle Qi, he could mitigate the external impact on himself.

When they reached high altitude, he tilted his head and glanced downward.

At this moment, let alone seeing Ruidar and the others on the ground, even that eerie valley was only the size of a palm.

Luoning saw the undulating hills, as well as the valleys and plains between them;

He also saw the vast Zhaoze reaching toward the sea, though it was too far to see the small town at the edge of the Zhaoze;

Beyond that, the most prominent things in his field of vision were the magnificent, boundless seas to the north and east of Wubei Territory!

Having a flying mount was a good thing.

Luoning remembered the shock and longing the Shizhi Xiaodui had brought him when Blanche first came to Wushan Castle.

If he could obtain this dragon, why would he envy others for having Griffins?

Sensing that the effect of the Wind Tentacle was gradually fading, Luoning drew its Spell Pattern and cast another "chain" on himself, firmly binding himself to the dragon again.

His gaze became resolute and firm, "Come on, Kaierluosi, submit to me!"

Language could not communicate; only violence could make a Magic Beast submit, and the dragon was no exception.

Luoning took the Dagger he had seized from the Shadow Assassin from his Space Ring and fiercely stabbed at the dragon's nape.

Clang!

The defense of the dragon's Dragon Scale was extremely formidable; the Dagger stabbing into it actually emitted a metallic clashing sound.

Kaierluosi felt disdain in its heart; a foolish human actually trying to pierce its Dragon Scale with such an ordinary Dagger was simply dreaming.

But the next second, it let out a painful roar.

Luoning changed his approach; the sharp Dagger no longer stabbed directly at the scales, but instead pierced into the gaps between the scales.

Pfft~

Blood sprayed out, scattering across the sky.

"Roar!"

Kaierluosi let out an angry roar.

It hated that it could not control its body size and could not shake off the Wind Tentacle;

it hated that its tail was not long enough to sweep the human off its back;

it also hated that it was not strong enough—if it could reach the seventh rank, the gaps between its scales would be so tight that it would be impossible to be stabbed like this;

and what it hated most was the person on its back; it truly wanted to turn the other party into ashes with a single Flame Breath.

But alas, its neck could not turn around, and it could not spray the breath onto Luoning.

"! @#￥%***&*"

Luoning did not understand Dragon Language and did not understand what the other party was saying.

But judging by the other party's state and the emotions being conveyed, it was probably cursing him, right?

"Submit to me!"

Luoning stabbed into the gap between the scales again, only this time he did not use a Dagger, but instead switched to the Liuyan Sword, channeling Battle Qi as he stabbed in to create scorching flames.

"Hah!"

He gripped the hilt with both hands and pushed the sword forward, plunging it halfway in.

At this moment, Kaierluosi was like a water vat with a hole in it; its blood was gushing out continuously just like water from a vat.

"I know you can understand what I'm saying."

Luoning shouted loudly, "As long as you pledge your loyalty to me, I will spare your life!"

Dragons have tempers too; threatened like this, Kaierluosi no longer climbed higher, but instead tucked its wings and dove straight down.

The intense sensation of falling made Luoning very uncomfortable, and he even nearly let go of the Liuyan Sword; he hurriedly stored it back into his Space Ring and used the Wind Tentacle again to reinforce the binding.

Luoning only felt the speed getting faster and faster; he did not know how long they had been diving when the dragon's speed plummeted, and the state of extreme gravity pressed Luoning tightly against its back, unable to move, and then...

"Splash!"

The sea surface exploded with a huge spray of water; Kaierluosi had actually plunged headlong into the ocean.

Glug, glug...

Luoning was not paying attention for a moment and swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater; fortunately, he was a good swimmer, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and held his breath.

The impact just before entering the water had left him a bit dizzy, but fortunately, he had not been shaken off by the other party, otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

While casting spells again, he adjusted his state, trying his best to avoid any violent movements.

As a Silver Knight, his internal organs were strengthened and his breath was extremely long, so holding his breath underwater for a period of time was no problem at all.

However, Luoning was also feeling a bit panicked inside.

If this guy stayed at the bottom of the sea and didn't come out, wouldn't he suffocate?

Fortunately, Kaierluosi's condition was much worse than his.

It was already in a weakened state, and coupled with the intense flight for dozens of minutes, its physical strength was long since depleted.

It could still maintain high-speed swimming after falling into the water, but its speed soon plummeted.

Swimming underwater consumed more stamina than flying in the air, so with no other choice, the dragon could only head up toward the sea surface.

Luoning sensed the dragon's exhaustion.

He looked up at the increasingly bright water surface, knowing that this guy was about to break through the water.

"The opportunity has come!"

Splash~

One person and one dragon rushed out from beneath the sea surface.

Almost the moment they broke the water, Luoning directly unfolded a Flame Explosion Technique Scroll, and a super-large fireball two meters in diameter smashed toward the dragon's head.

The mentally exhausted Kaierluosi was knocked askew by this blow, barely maintaining its flight posture as it flew toward the shore.

But Luoning's attacks were not over yet; he pulled out a second, a third, and a fourth Flame Explosion Technique.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Flame Explosion Techniques exploded one after another on Kaierluosi's head, and they were all in almost the same spot.

To be honest, the flames did not cause much burn damage to the dragon, but these violent impacts one after another knocked it dizzy and left its consciousness muddled.

With extreme physical exhaustion and its head being smashed until it was dizzy, Kaierluosi could no longer maintain its balance.

It let out a whimpering cry and plunged headlong toward the beach below! (End of chapter)
