Chapter 293: Is That A Dragon!?
But surprisingly, he had no problems with either his identity or being found out by those who were familiar with the 'Original Asher'.
Now, not being discovered when there were tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of monsters in the Luminous Grounds was not what confounded him.
What puzzled him was that he had not taken on the identity of just any monster; he had taken on the appearance of a High-Rank Monster King for God's sake!
A High-Rank Monster King, who was quite a way's into the Unity Form Synthesis Realm, not being recognized was utterly mind-boggling for Azmond!
But after interacting with the common monsterkind who inhabited the First through Eighth Floors, he realized something.
The Kingdom that the original 'Asher' had talked about was essentially unknown to all the other monsterkin. It was like the kingdom full of foxkin didn't even exist!
After some contemplation of the matter and using a few days to mull over it, he came to the conclusion that 'Asher' and 'His Kingdom' were simply in the extreme boonies of the Great Wildlands Forest-
"Mhmu!"
Azmond's train of thought was abruptly interrupted by a certain katana strapped to his back.
"What is it, Emu?" He asked.
"Mhmu! Mhmu!" 'My spidey senses are tingling!'
"Your wha-?"
His expression morphed into a confused one as he tried to get out his question, but he was suddenly interrupted by something.
BOOOOOOOM!
That something being an explosion so loud and explosive that the residual winds from the blast shredded through all the blood-colored lands within a ten thousand mile radius!
"What the hell was that?"
Azmond looked around, and after making sure everyone was okay, he looked toward the source of the immense explosion.
And just as he was about to get out his piece on the analysis of the situation, a certain brown-eyed woman struck preemptively:
|Is that a dragon!?| Boundless exclaimed.
What she, along with Emu, Azmond, Calista, and the rest of the tourists, saw was a dark silver-colored creature over 900,000 meters in length swooping in out of the skies above the 'Whaliceros Enclosure'
The creature in question looked almost exactly like a western dragon. Proof of that uncanny resemblance was the long, swirling horns that protruding out of the top of its head and extended behind its colossal neck.
Dark silver in color and with a size that one could even begin to call it an asteroid eatera monster like that dived into the 'Whaliceros Enclosure' at speeds verging on the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!
Now, the reason it made such swoops was because...
The dragon was eating the Whaliceros's!
That's right, the 120,000-meter-wide Whaliceros's were being devoured whole by the insanely massive creature gliding throughout the enclosure.
Furthermore, the explosion that Azmond and everyone else heard earlier was all the result of one of the Whaliceros's fighting back.
The Whaliceros that fought back tried to launch a water beam in the direction of the Dark-Silver Dragon, but in the end, it didn't even leave a scratch on the body of the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm Dragon.
In fact, the explosion wasn't caused by the counterattack of the Whaliceros; it was instead due to the dragon releasing a dark gray atomic blast at the Whaliceros!
Such an attack was followed up by the dragon diving down before lifting up the corpse of the Whalicerosa corpse that was burnt to a crisp.
*GULP!*
It ate the Whaliceros in one big gulp before continuing its pursuit of all the Whaliceros's in the area.
The number of Whaliceros's that had already entered the belly of the Dark-Silver Dragon had surpassed over a dozen!
And although that may not seem like a lot, when put into retrospect, that was hundreds of millions of monsterkind lost in the blink of an eye!
...
OOOM!
The silver dragon made itself known once more as it dropped in from above the clouds, its eyes honing in on its next target!
AAWOOOGAA!!
The Whaliceros, who was next on the silver dragon's snack list, unleashed every ounce of its power!
WAAA!
An overwhelming aura was emitted from the Whaliceros as it managed to stand its ground, even if only for but a moment.
But, in the end, high aspirations, such as overcoming the might of the dragon, was out of its power bracket.
That was proven true when...
BOOOOOOOOM!!
The silver dragon let loose a dark gray attack that utterly obliterated half of the Whaliceros's body, along with a good chunk of the 'Whaliceros Enclosure'!
*****
WHOOOM!!
Intense winds blew past the hundreds of thousands of monsterkins observing from the overlook as they all started to panic.
"We're all going to become dragon food!"
"Did you see the size of that thing!? We wouldn't even make for a snack!!"
"I had a family member who lived on that Whaliceros N-Now she is"
"A Dark-Silver Dragon means that it has already approached the peak of the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Realm! What are we supposed to do against something like that!?"
Although the reactions of the onlookers were all different, there was ultimately a common consensus among them.
That consensus being that they would all, without a doubt, die...
In fact, there were already a number of them who died upon getting hit by the residual windsresidual winds that were produced thousands of miles away!
Just that fact alone went to show just how lethal and omnipotent the Dark-Silver Dragon was to all monsterkind.
That was not to mention the irrefutable confusion they felt upon learning that a Dark-Silver Dragonwho was supposed to be a rarity even on the Nineteenth floorsuddenly showed up on the Eighth Floor!
It was completely unbelievable!
Nonetheless, in the middle of such chaos and confusion, a tall, silver foxkin with a woman and a girl in hand looked out at the dragon gulping up all the Whaliceros's.
"This one is strong."
That was all Azmond said before his figure became a little blurry.
