I Am Not A Goblin Slayer

The intensity of simultaneously activating two states is incredibly terrifying.

If at this moment, Gauss, with a professional level of Level 8, normally possesses a combat power of a weaker Level 12, then activating either enhancement state could elevate his strength to a stronger Level 12.

And what about the dual enhancement of dragon and ghost?

Although Gauss hasn’t yet faced a Level 13 professional in direct combat and technically has no standing to estimate the strength such a powerhouse would possess, in his mind, that formidable power should allow him to break through the bottleneck of Level 12 and reach combat power at Level 13.

Don’t underestimate the difference of this level.

Starting from the Extraordinary Tier, which is Level 11 and above, almost every level has extremely significant disparities in power.

This can actually be seen in terms of time.

The difficulty of breaking through levels becomes increasingly high, often requiring decades, scores, or even hundreds of years to advance by one level, and even then, compared to those who never advance in their lifetime, it’s considered fortunate.

Yet the early levels of various professions habitually advance several levels within a few years.

Moreover, there’s a fact that’s easy to overlook, that the time required for geniuses capable of reaching levels above Extraordinary, can it really be compared with the time of lower-level ordinary adventurers?

Clearly not, right?

So this time difference reflects not just the surface difference of several times, dozens of times, but potentially hundreds or thousands of times.

Through his private tests, Gauss has also roughly grasped the upper limit of the Dragon and Ghost Contract, its duration, and how long he can maintain adequate mobility.

Understanding this is very important.

In the vast majority of situations, he cannot allow himself to fight until exhaustion and faint, that would simply place hopes of survival on others and ephemeral luck.

So, before Gauss set out on this journey, he had already made up his mind.

He absolutely cannot let the state of the Dragon and Ghost Contract be consumed to its limit; if the target can’t be achieved within the safe time, he must leave without hesitation immediately.

Of course, if the predetermined target can be completed within the specified time, that would naturally be the most ideal scenario.

The green spores continued to quickly spread towards Gauss, and the other three dragons regarded Gauss with caution.

But just as the spore toxic fog was about to reach Gauss, he suddenly widened his eyes from their briefly maintained silent state.

In those slowly transitioning golden pupils, a streak of black and white turbulent energy flowed out from the corner of his eyes like two masses of solidified black and white flames flowing from the sides of the eye sockets.

His figure began to change rapidly.

”Crack, crack, crack, crack!”

Under the instinctual uneasy gaze of the three dragons, Gauss’s body underwent a transformation.

”Is he going to revert to a Giant Dragon form?”

”Are you a Silver Dragon or a Golden Dragon?”

The distant Blue Dragon took a deep breath, its eyes glimmering.

However, contrary to their expectations, Gauss’s form did change.

But not according to their envisioned transformation towards the direction of a Giant Dragon, instead, standing in the void in the distance was a two-meter tall humanoid figure.

Its surface was entwined with an incredibly familiar power to them, belonging to the bloodline of the Giant Dragon.

This confirmed their original assumptions, but besides that, there was an eerie power on his body that could rival the Giant Dragon bloodline.

That ominous power made the three dragons feel a chill instinctively in their hearts.

An ancient, violent aura was released wildly from his body, instantly repelling the Dragon’s might that the three dragons unleashed.

That small stature, yet it exuded an aura of paramount dominance.

”This...”

”What exactly is this monster?”

The true dragons felt uneasy.
