Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 687, What Is Most Torturous

Translator: Silavin

Even Patriarch Yoshida could barely withstand this, let alone the other Players. Under the dual assault of the Magic Crystal Cannons and Lightning Waterfall Overcast, the invading Players were decimated.

Those few survivors who remained, facing the endless tide of Monsters, found themselves unable to resist and were completely overwhelmed. It was merely a matter of time before they were all eliminated.

It could be said that they had been left behind, essentially doomed to die.

On another front, Kage Tenshi led the charge towards Lu Fan’s direction. Beside him were only two Patriarchs and the severely weakened Kage Mako.

The Sword Wielding Patriarch possessed a strong Perception Skill. As Patriarch Yoshida was bombarded to death, he immediately sensed it. Glancing back, he said, “Master, Yoshida… he died!”

Kage Tenshi did not look back, merely coldly saying, “I know. What you can sense, I can naturally sense as well!”

“This…” The Sword Wielding Patriarch hesitated several times but ultimately said nothing.

He knew that the current situation was definitely not within Kage Tenshi’s expectations.

If this journey to capture the Dragon Tamer had only cost forty or fifty lives, Kage Tenshi would not have batted an eye. Even if they could learn the origins of the Giant Dragon, losing a few Level 100 Players would have been worthwhile.

But now, the casualties among their men had exceeded everyone’s expectations!

Even two of the Four Patriarchs had died, and the other Players had been essentially wiped out.

This was the Force that Kage Tenshi had gradually accumulated over hundreds of years after ruling Cherry Blossom Country!

Now, Lu Fan had destroyed this entire foundation in a single battle. Kage Tenshi now had his heart set on killing Lu Fan.

But who could be blamed for this?

One could only blame Kage Tenshi for being too careless.

He had not expected that Lu Fan’s Territory would have so many deadly Territory Defensive Measures. If he had known about the existence of the Magic Crystal Cannons and Lightning Waterfall Overcast, Kage Tenshi definitely would not have brought so many people to become cannon fodder.

He could have brought just the Four Patriarchs and carried out an assault, directly killing their way to Lu Fan’s location and capturing him.

Now, it was obviously too late.

Even if they truly captured Lu Fan, obtained this Territory, and learned the method of acquiring Giant Dragons, Kage Tenshi probably would no longer be able to feel happy about it.

But with things as they were, Kage Tenshi had no choice. All he could do was lead Kage Mako and the other two to quickly capture Lu Fan to cut his losses.

The Sword Wielding Patriarch said nothing more, avoiding provoking Kage Tenshi’s ill mood.

The four continued tearing through space, drawing ever closer to Lu Fan’s location.

The four passed through Torn Ancient City, and during this journey, they were extremely shocked by the Map Resources of Shadow Isle.

Especially Kage Tenshi. The further forward he went, the more he could sense that there must be some extremely precious resources on the island.

One type of resource was related to the spring water flowing throughout the island.

Although this spring water continuously released black mist outward, Kage Tenshi could still sense that the spring water should contain another type of power that could make people stronger.

Besides the spring water, he could even more strongly sense that the entire small island was shrouded in a type of Life Essence.

This Life Essence made him feel extremely comfortable and should originate from some Legendary Grade or higher resource.

It might even possibly originate from a Mythical Grade resource.

Such an island was even more enticing than the resources on his Sky Shadow Palace.

If he could truly capture this place, perhaps the deaths of so many people wouldn’t be such a loss after all.

Thinking of this, Kage Tenshi’s mood improved considerably.

In the blink of an eye, the four had already passed through Torn Ancient City and arrived at the site of the former palace.

This place had naturally been transformed by Lu Fan into Shadow Fortress, serving as the deepest part of Shadow Isle.

At the same time, atop the Shadow Fortress.

Tao Xiaoman put down her telescope and exclaimed loudly, “Lu Fan, the strongest ones are coming over!”

“I can see them even without the telescope!” Lu Fan sat on the sofa, still calm, smiling as he said, “Let them come. You don’t need to tell me. I can sense them. If I wanted, Lightning Waterfall Overcast could strike them all the way here, leaving them dead or crippled. But, doing that would be too boring.”

“Tao Zi, do you know what the most torturous thing in this world is?”

After hearing Lu Fan’s words, Tao Xiaoman thought carefully for a moment before asking, “Death?”

Lu Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, “Of course not. It’s letting him see what he wants most, and when he thinks he can obtain it, have him killed.”

Tao Xiaoman seemed to understand Lu Fan’s thinking. Nodding approvingly. She smiled and said, “Your heart is really black.”

“Why are you saying my heart is black when all I’m dealing with are invaders coveting what is mine ?” Lu Fan laughed, rising from the sofa and walking to the edge of the fortress top, standing with his hands behind his back as he watched Kage Tenshi and the others flying over.

At this moment, Kage Tenshi was only a few hundred metres away from Shadow Fortress.

It could be said that Lu Fan and the others were now within Kage Tenshi’s Skill Range.

If Kage Tenshi wanted, he could launch a fierce assault against Lu Fan and the others right now.

However, they had not done so.

Because at this moment, their attention had already been captured by everything here.

First to enter their view was naturally the Legendary Grade Magic Crystal Cannon atop Shadow Fortress.

This thing posed an extreme threat even to the Four Patriarchs, so except for Kage Tenshi, everyone’s gaze was focused upon it.

However, thinking about their journey here, they had not seen this Magic Crystal Cannon fire, so it was probably out of ammunition.

Thinking of this, everyone relaxed slightly.

Next, their gaze fell upon the Tree of Life that the Life Dragon King had transformed into.

They did not know this was an Eternal Phase Dragon King. Still, they could sense Life Essence was continuously being emanated from this tree. Especially in such close proximity to them, the Life Essence here was extremely concentrated.

The stamina they had expended flying all the way here was instantly cleared away under the nourishment of the Life Essence.

Although their Levels were too high to gain Experience Points from the Life Essence, they could still sense that staying here, those with Lower Levels could gain Experience Points.

It was such a miraculous great tree, who knows what other wonderful uses it might have?

Undoubtedly, this tree’s value was immeasurable!
