Chapter 226 Golden Dragon

Nie Yan jumped onto the arena. For Fallen to try to use a Behemoth to restrain Nie Yan’s Golden Dragon was simply a joke. Nie Yan would show him just how laughable that idea was.

Nie Yan chanted an incantation. A flash of light later, the Golden Dragon was summoned.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon was over three yards tall, almost four yards, a head taller than the Behemoth. Its entire body was covered in dense, golden dragon scales. These scales faintly radiated a vibrant red light, exuding an aura of bloodlust.

Since few people had seen high-end pets like the Golden Dragon and the Behemoth, they didn’t know much about them. They only knew they were strong, but they couldn’t say exactly where that strength lay. The only basis for judging their strength was the video of Nie Yan’s Golden Dragon slaughtering enemies underground, and the battle of Cripps Fortress, where the Golden Dragon had also shown its face. These videos had slowly spread.

The Golden Dragon's strength was astonishing. Considering the Behemoths on Angel Corps' side, they shouldn’t be bad either. As for which was stronger, the Golden Dragon or the Behemoth, they couldn’t say for sure.

Nie Yan was quite knowledgeable about these high-end pets. After all, in his past life, when players reached level 100+, these kinds of high-end pets were relatively common. Many top-tier professional players had obtained these kinds of excellent pets.

Nie Yan knew that Behemoths excelled at close combat. The Dragon race's close combat strength was also not weak, only slightly inferior to the Behemoth. However, the growth rate of the two was too different, so the Behemoth could never be a match for the Golden Dragon.

"Let's begin," Nie Yan said casually. His current strength far exceeded Fallen and the others. A slight comparison of their stats would reveal this.

Nie Yan had over 6,000 health, while Fallen only had over 3,000. In terms of levels, Nie Yan was Level 72, while Fallen was only Level 61. In other major stats like attack, defense, stealth, and perception, Nie Yan exceeded him by more than 30%. All of this was built up by Nie Yan using his past life's gaming experience!

No Thief could surpass Nie Yan at the moment!

Under normal circumstances, Nie Yan kept his stats hidden. He wouldn’t publicly disclose them. Of course, others could see his health. Nie Yan’s 6,000 health was truly shocking. Most Thieves would feel inferior seeing Nie Yan’s health. This was the effect of equipment and the Centurion title. Fallen and the others were overestimating themselves by challenging Nie Yan.

At this moment, the Behemoth roared and charged towards the Golden Dragon with heavy steps.

Fallen had begun!

The moment the Behemoth charged towards the Golden Dragon, Fallen also entered Stealth and slowly disappeared.

Eye of Truth!

Two beams of blood-red light burst forth from Nie Yan's eyes, scanning his surroundings. A faint figure appeared in his vision, about thirty yards away. Nie Yan didn't rush forward to attack. Instead, he commanded the Golden Dragon to spew a breath of dragonfire.

Fallen was in stealth. Noticing the change in Nie Yan’s pupils, as if a tangible gaze was cast in his direction, he was shocked. He knew Nie Yan had a pupil skill, but that was only hearsay. When he truly faced Nie Yan, the mental pressure was immense. Seeing the scorching dragonfire shooting towards him, he quickly used Gale Step and flew away into the distance.

With a boom, the dragonfire struck the ground in the center square, sparks flying everywhere, then disappearing without a trace.

The ground, blessed by countless Archmages with protective magic, was not damaged in the slightest. However, the surrounding players could still feel the scorching energy from the dragonfire. Waves of heat rolled over them. If that dragonfire hit, even a Warrior would lose half their life!

With a muffled bang, the Behemoth and the Golden Dragon's massive bodies collided. The ground trembled. The incredibly powerful strength contained within the two behemoths made the surrounding players pale in fear.

The spectators on both sides of the arena quickly retreated, fearing being caught in the crossfire. They only felt slightly safer after retreating over thirty yards.

"Damn, what is this power? It's too scary."

The Behemoth struck the Golden Dragon's chest with its palm. The Golden Dragon's body only swayed slightly, and a damage number of over 1,000 floated above its head. Compared to the Golden Dragon's current 27,000 health, it was negligible.

Counterattack Storm!

A fierce whirlwind stirred around the Golden Dragon. It slammed its claw on the Behemoth's shoulder blade. The powerful force sent the Behemoth staggering back five or six steps, stumbling and falling to the ground. The Behemoth, with a total of 16,000 health, had over 3,000 scraped off by the Golden Dragon's claw.

Everyone was stunned, including Fallen. Fallen looked at the two behemoths on the field with an incredible expression. He never imagined that the Behemoth's strength would be so different from the Golden Dragon's. Wasn't the Behemoth's melee combat ability always stronger than the Dragon race?

The Behemoth had always been the overlord of the land, while the sky belonged to the Dragon race. Generally, non-flying Dragon race creatures were relatively low-level. How could the Golden Dragon be so powerful?

After the Behemoth and the Golden Dragon exchanged a round, Angelic Feather, who was watching the live broadcast of the match in the Bloodlust Fortress guild hall, suddenly stood up.

"How could this be?" Angelic Feather muttered to himself. The Golden Dragon's strength caught him off guard. He thought the Behemoth had a sure victory against the Golden Dragon in such a narrow space, but he never expected such a turn of events. He wanted to ask, what did Nie Yan feed his Golden Dragon? How could the gap between the Behemoth and the Golden Dragon be so large? He thought Nie Yan was just bluffing, but now he realized that Nie Yan had nothing to fear!

At this moment, the battle in the arena was still going on intensely.

Nie Yan still stood there leisurely, showing no intention of taking action.

Fallen tried to approach Nie Yan, wanting to salvage the situation, but another breath of dragonfire sprayed towards him, and he had to retreat another fifty or sixty yards.

While the Golden Dragon was fiercely attacking the Behemoth, it still had the strength to deal with Fallen!

At this moment, the Behemoth was extremely miserable. It got up, was knocked to the ground by the Golden Dragon, got up again, and was knocked down again. After several consecutive times, it was covered in wounds, emitting painful whimpers. In the face of the Golden Dragon's absolute power, it didn't have the slightest strength to resist.

The battle was completely one-sided, without the slightest suspense.

Fallen watched anxiously and shouted, spitting out several incantations. The Behemoth's body soared in size, becoming thicker. The snow-white fur on its body turned an abnormal red. Its pupils became bloodshot due to rage. The Behemoth had entered a state of Berserk!

The much larger Behemoth tried to counterattack the Golden Dragon. Suddenly, a meteor burning with flames fell from the sky. This was the Golden Dragon's Meteor Fall. With a loud bang, the flames swept over, and the Behemoth was smashed to the ground by the powerful force of the fireball. No matter how it struggled, it couldn't get up.

The Behemoth couldn't even compete with the Golden Dragon in close combat, let alone the Golden Dragon's powerful magic. Even if it went berserk, it was useless. It was still suppressed by the Golden Dragon, unable to lift its head.

Much of the fur on the Behemoth's body was charred. It growled and got up, and the Golden Dragon spewed another breath of scorching flames. The powerful dragonfire struck the Behemoth's chest. The Behemoth screamed and flew out, crashing heavily to the ground. Its health was finally exhausted by the Golden Dragon, and it turned into a white light.

The audience was silent. No one expected this outcome. They thought that even if the Behemoth couldn't beat the Golden Dragon, it could at least last a long time. They didn't expect the Behemoth to be so vulnerable in front of the Golden Dragon, beaten without any power to fight back. Even entering a Berserk state didn't change anything. In the end, it could only end in a disastrous defeat.

"Boss Nie Yan's Golden Dragon is too fierce."

If there were a ranking for all pets, Nie Yan's Golden Dragon would definitely be the undisputed number one!

With the Behemoth dead, there was no need for Fallen to continue fighting. Under the dragonfire, he didn't even have the chance to approach Nie Yan. He slowly emerged from stealth and looked at Nie Yan, who still hadn't moved.

Nie Yan simply stood there, but he had an aura of overlooking the world. Under his control, the Golden Dragon was simply invincible.

"I concede," Fallen said with some frustration and dejection. He stared at Nie Yan in the distance and said, "Can I have a formal fight with you, without any pets? You can take this as a request, unrelated to the previous challenge."

"You are not qualified yet," Nie Yan said indifferently, as if stating a fact.

No one doubted Nie Yan's words.

Is that so? A trace of gloom flashed in Fallen's eyes. "Then what do I need to be qualified?"

"Wait until you advance to Shadow Dancer," Nie Yan said. Only a Thief who has entered the Shadow Dancer class can fight Nie Yan. Nie Yan will definitely enter the Shadow Dancer class earlier than them, because Nie Yan has already understood the secrets of Shadow Dance. What he lacks now is only levels! As long as the level is sufficient, Nie Yan can easily pass the Shadow Dancer's class advancement quest.

Shadow Dancer. Fallen repeated the word, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He clenched his fists. He wants to become a Shadow Dancer to challenge Nie Yan!

Players have rarely heard of the term Shadow Dancer. It seems to be the class after Grand Thief. It is the pinnacle existence, and it can only be advanced after level 100.

After Nie Yan said this sentence, the term Shadow Dancer suddenly became popular, and players spread the word crazily.

Becoming a Shadow Dancer means being able to challenge Crazy Thief Nie Yan. Shadow Dancer has suddenly become the goal of all Thieves.

~~Seeking monthly tickets, seeking recommendations... It is expected that there will be another update at 12 o'clock, and I don't know when the fourth update will be.

(Previously, the growth rate of the Golden Dragon was written incorrectly. The growth rate of the Golden Dragon should be 20. The growth rate of the Behemoth, which is the same level as the Dragon race, should be 15. Fa Biao De Wo Niu apologizes. There is another small bug. There is too much data, and I remember it a bit confused.)
