Chapter 17: Dragon Slayer Warrior', Dungeon Permanently Disappears! (Please follow and read)

Taotie's Dharma Avatar World skill had never once been fully activated—after all, once fully unleashed, the mana consumption per second was astronomical.

But facing such a Dark Magic Dragon, Taotie was truly enraged.

In its eyes, everything apart from its master was nothing but food—and a mere food dared to provoke it like this! Dared to howl at it! At once, it fully activated the Dharma Avatar World skill effect for the first time. Its body swelled again, surging from its original shoulder height of thirty-six meters to sixty-six meters, all attributes doubling once more, reaching eight times its initial level.

【Race: Taotie】

【Quality: Five-Star Legendary Divine Pet】

【Level: LV. 44 (0.1%)】

【HP: 3,520,000/3,520,000】

【Mana: 38,000/40,000】

【Strength: 38,400】

【Agility: 28,800】

【Spirit: 20,000】

【Constitution: 48,000】

Aside from the continuous mana drain, its HP surged directly from 440,000 to 3,520,000. Its Strength, originally crushed by the Dark Magic Dragon's 12,500 points of Strength, skyrocketed to 38,400—more than three times the dragon's!

The massively enlarged Taotie directly unleashed 'Devouring Black Hole.' Gravity alone naturally couldn't tear Vix apart, but it could drag the dragon straight before it. The next moment, Taotie lunged onto Vix and sank its teeth into one of the dragon's wings.

After a violent shriek, a wing was forcibly torn off.

Then, Taotie swallowed it in great mouthfuls into its belly.

The Dark Magic Dragon Vix struggled desperately. It was a former level-two hundred monster, after all. It unleashed a Demon Spirit Shield, forming a dark red shield over the surface of its skin, but in the very next moment, Taotie bit down, and under that overwhelming power, the shield shattered.

'Roar!'

The Dark Magic Dragon let out a miserable cry. Even so, the monsters in the low-level dungeons who heard this sound still trembled in fear, their combat power greatly weakened.

If anyone had come to grind levels right now, they could have scored a massive windfall! Unwilling to be eaten bite by bite, Vix spewed dragon's breath. Flames engulfed Taotie's entire body, but dealt no damage whatsoever.

With Taotie's current Constitution, let alone still having the passive effect of Mana Annihilation—even without that skill, this dragon's breath couldn't have dealt much damage. It was merely a futile struggle.

But Vix still did not give up. Recklessly, it unleashed another skill.

Black Flame Meteor!

In the distance, a massive black meteor formed, wreathed in black flames, plummeting rapidly toward the ground.

That meteor was a full hundred meters in diameter. After falling at high speed, let alone Taotie and the Dark Magic Dragon, the entire dungeon would likely be destroyed. It could even trigger a great earthquake, reducing the nearby Black Stone City to rubble.

Vix was going all out for mutual destruction, determined to take Taotie down with it!

Seeing this scene, everyone on the city wall panicked.

In fact, as early as when the Roof Ridge Mountain split open and the Dark Magic Dragon appeared, the entire Black Stone City had been shrouded in an atmosphere of despair!

A level-two hundred Boss monster, the Dark Magic Dragon, at the peak of the fourth advancement! Unless a powerhouse at the level of a fifth-rank Grand Magus descended, once it charged the city, Black Stone City would be reduced to rubble in an instant.

When they saw this creature appear, Wang Qiuyue, a level-134 third-rank Grand Mage, was so frightened that she immediately flew toward the City Lord's Mansion. She had to request reinforcements as quickly as possible—fourth-rank powerhouses could no longer resolve the crisis. A greater threat had emerged, and fifth-rank powerhouses had to come! But then, Left Patrol Envoy Luo Zhenyang, still on the city wall, watched as the Calamity-grade monster whose aura had multiplied several times and whose body had swelled severalfold lunged directly at the Dark Magic Dragon. When the two monsters started fighting, he instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Never mind which of these two dungeon monsters would win—at the very least, they could buy some time, at the very least reduce the threat by one monster! But everything happened far too quickly.

They had originally thought the two monsters would be evenly matched, fighting to the death and leaving both sides battered. Instead, the level-two hundred Dark Magic Dragon was being thoroughly beaten down by that mere level-44 Calamity monster.

Luo Zhenyang hoped for the Dark Magic Dragon's counterattack, hoping its skills would take effect.

But he never expected that this creature would directly try to destroy everything! It truly was a Magic Dragon! Once that massive meteor landed on the ground, the resulting shockwave could very well trigger a great earthquake in Black Stone City. He immediately flew into the city and shouted for everyone to stay away from buildings and activate their shields—not only to dodge collapsing houses from the earthquake, but also to avoid being injured or even killed outright by the powerful shockwave.

Just then, Taotie bit off Victor's head. The Dark Magic Dragon was dead. The massive amount of experience points pushed Taotie directly to level 50, six levels in a row! Just as the meteor was about to strike Taotie, the next moment, a gigantic black hole suddenly appeared above its head—a black hole nearly two hundred meters across—and swallowed the meteor in one gulp.

As a divine beast, why didn't Taotie have an active defense skill? That was because the 'Black Hole Devour' skill surpassed all defensive abilities. As long as it didn't exceed its devouring limit, all energy-type attacks could essentially be devoured and absorbed by it.

At the same time, a notification appeared on the panel before Lu Zheng.

【Congratulations on successfully killing LV. 200 Boss-level BOSS: Dark Magic Dragon Vix, completing Job Change Quest: Kill! The Corrupted Dark Magic Dragon!】

【Ding! You have successfully completed your job change! Promoted to Intermediate Summoner! Your unique exclusive skill Summoning Art has been upgraded to Intermediate Summoning Art.】

【Ding! Detected a massive accumulation of experience points, now fully absorbed. Your level has increased. Current level LV. 47. All attributes boosted!】

【Ding! You successfully killed the Dark Magic Dragon, obtaining the title 'Dragon Slayer Warrior'】

【Notice: Due to the unique hidden LV. 200 Boss-level BOSS: Dark Magic Dragon Vix being killed, the Roof Ridge Mountain dungeon will permanently disappear after 1 hour!】

Family, who gets it!?

I had just completed my first job change, and I shot straight up seventeen levels from level 30, soaring to level 47.

Is this the trouble with leveling? The Dark Magic Dragon had been killed and dropped quite a few items. Lu Zheng quickly picked them up, then he also saw the cave where Vix had appeared. He had Taotie devour Vix's corpse while he himself entered the cave.

Seeing a golden treasure chest inside, Lu Zheng smiled and quickly opened it, stowing the contents. With no time to inventory what was inside, he hurried to flee.

This time he had caused such a huge commotion that the Roof Ridge Mountain dungeon was directly wiped out by him. Although he had been forced into it, if someone really came to settle accounts, he had no way to deny it! After all, he truly was the one who destroyed it.

Couldn't afford to provoke anyone—time to run!

He directly used a 'Return City Scroll.' The scroll's linked destination was Liyang City. Upon activation, a beam of light enveloped him. A few seconds later, the curtain of light vanished, and he had already appeared in Liyang City's 'Return City Square.'

Guards patrolled and stood watch around the Return City Square to prevent anyone from launching sneak attacks while others had just returned and hadn't yet recovered their vision.

But enjoying the service meant paying for it. After handing over one silver coin, he left the square.

Lu Zheng went straight home and slept soundly! Today had been far too thrilling. He needed to rest well. From here on, he could just lie flat—at level forty-seven, getting into any university would be a breeze.

But right now, Taotie couldn't be seen by anyone. That meant his Summoner was a higher level than main-force summon beasts like the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox. That was a bit hard to justify—who was protecting whom!? Tomorrow, he'd have to push these summon beasts to level up.

On the other side, on the city wall of Black Stone City, everyone stared at the leveled Roof Ridge Mountain dungeon, frozen in stunned silence.
