Chapter 350: Chapter 349: The Giant Dragon from the Shadows

“Foolish, such trickery has no effect on us!!”

Watching the magic missiles flying towards him, the giant dragon in the shadows laughed loudly. It wasn’t wrong, as one of the most powerful abilities of any purebred dragon was their formidable magic resistance. This was also why, despite their tremendous power, many dragons showed little interest in learning human spells.

Because these human spells could hardly harm dragons, who could simply use the spell-like abilities within their own bloodlines to rout most humans, after all, there were very few in this world who could slay a dragon.

As if to affirm its words, the magic missiles Fang Zheng had released quietly vanished as if droplets into a pond without even causing a ripple. Soon after, the boundless shadows surged again, snaking towards Fang Zheng in an attempt to swallow him whole.

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

But at that moment, dozens of angels flew across the sky. Without hesitation, they raised their weapons and charged into the black fog, and brilliant Holy Light erupted from their bodies, pushing back the spreading dark shadows forcefully.

Hm?

Seeing this, Fang Zheng paused in surprise. These angels were weaker than him, roughly at the elite pinnacle rank. In theory, even if they exerted all their might, they should not have been able to affect the domain of a legendary dragon. But now, their efforts seemed to be working?

Setting aside the disparity in power, that left only one factor that could lead to this outcome—attribute suppression!

Could it be that the angels’ Holy Power was affecting the giant dragon? No, that’s not it, wait, the shadows filled with negative energy, this is…

I’ve got it!

It was only then that Fang Zheng suddenly understood. He flapped his wings furiously and flew towards the dark shadows. Seeing Fang Zheng’s approach, the dragon lying in wait within the darkness sprang into action as well. Violent shadows mixed with overwhelming Dragon Might roared towards Fang Zheng, engulfing him in an instant.

“Ughhhh—!!”

Feeling this fierce oppression, even Fang Zheng struggled to bear it. Though he had deployed his own Dragon Might to counter it, he had still not reached the Legendary Domain. Even if he was stronger in terms of quantity, he was far lacking in quality!

It was like a gun against a plastic shield; you could stack the shield a hundred layers thick, but even a hundred layers would still be just a plastic shield!

“Screech—!”

Fang Zheng could feel his Dragon Might being squeezed, the bone-chilling cold penetrating slowly but relentlessly into his Ring of Time. Even though he had slowed the flow of time, he could only hinder, not resist, the opponent’s power.

Is it really so?!

Feeling this power, Fang Zheng was not alarmed but delighted. He suddenly flapped his wings and lifted his head. With his movement, an incredibly dazzling and pure Radiance burst from his body, breaking through the surrounding shadows in an instant!

Holy Light twinkles!

The pure white Radiance scattered in every direction, and the once-dense shadows withdrew swiftly upon contact with the light, unwilling to be banished yet forced to retreat due to their innate vulnerability to it. Meanwhile, the voice of the giant dragon rose again, but this time there was a hint of panic in its tone.

“Damn you, what kind of dragon are you? No dragon can release Holy Light!”

It’s no wonder this giant dragon was so panicked. Although the dragon race includes a variety of dragons, none possess the ability to release Holy Light, for it is a power belonging to deities, and dragons do not worship other gods. While it’s true that the Golden Dragon clan can emit light beams to fight, the radiance of a Golden Dragon pales in comparison to Holy Light. Thus, it could not have been mistaken.

What on earth is this dragon?

At this moment, the giant dragon also began to cautiously size up this uninvited guest, who could create the peculiar Demi-Plane and even summon angels from within it, utilizing not only magic but also Holy Light. Moreover, the guest’s dragon breath was exceptionally bizarre… As a dragon that had lived for many years, it instinctively felt the danger of the other’s breath, knowing that even a slight touch could come at a great cost. That’s why it kept its distance so carefully, intending to figure out the origin and identity of this dragon before making any moves. But now, it was not only clueless about which breed the dragon belonged to, but it was also increasingly perplexed by its behavior.

Conversely, Fang Zheng had already figured out the identity of this dragon.

“I know your origin now.”

He turned his head, looking at the huge shadow lurking in the darkness.

“You are a Shadow Dragon, aren’t you? I never expected a Shadow Dragon would leave the Shadow Dimension and come to the Primary Material Realm. What do you want to do here?”

Shadow Dragons are a breed that lives in the Shadow Dimension, characterized by their manipulation of shadows and the ability to move freely within and between them. The Shadow Dimension is filled with cold Negative Energy, which is why the shadows they control give off a sensation similar to the aura of a necromancer’s creature.

These dragons are not easy to deal with…

Although he appeared confident on the surface, Fang Zheng still inwardly felt a bit of a headache. He had read that the most troublesome aspect of this dragon breed is their ability to elementalize at will. If attacked, they can instantly transform and relocate to the form of the Shadow Dimension to evade attacks from the Primary Material Realm.

Of course, Fang Zheng could do the same. Once his Time Dragon matured, he would be able to evade and become immune to attacks by removing himself from the flow of time because he would no longer exist within it. Therefore, the “start,” “process,” and “outcome” of time-based attacks would not apply to him. A target that does not exist within time cannot be harmed by attacks that manifest through time.

But the problem was, his Time Dragon form had not yet reached maturity…

“This has nothing to do with you, my kin.”

The voice of the Shadow Dragon began to deepen, suggesting that even a dragon that wielded Holy Light and could suppress it found this Shadow Dragon to be a tricky opponent.

“Alright, actually, I’m not that curious. I just want to ask if you still plan to make a nest here?”

“………”

This time, faced with Fang Zheng’s question, the Shadow Dragon fell silent for a moment, then seemed to make up its mind as the surrounding shadows began to tremble at that instant.

“No, this is my lair! I will absolutely not leave!”

What’s going on?

Observing the other’s agitated behavior, Fang Zheng secretly wondered. It was just a lair, and furthermore, one that had only been found a few days ago. Logically, it shouldn’t matter so much to a Shadow Dragon. One would think it should realize that continuing to fight would yield no benefit, yet it was so agitated. Was its territorial instinct too strong, or… was there something here that attracted it?

However, since the other had already made its decision, Fang Zheng no longer held back.
