Giant Dragon Lord: Starting from Daily Intelligence

Chapter 749: Chapter 516: Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf, a Catastrophe Level Collision in the Depths of the Swamp

”Lightning, let’s go!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Raylo’s voice rang out.

’The fish has taken the bait!’

”Coal Ball!”

Perched on Lightning’s back, Coal Ball roused itself once more.

Its small paws swiped rapidly through the air, and streams of Space Magic Power quickly gathered before it.

”ROAR!”

Lightning’s massive Dragon Wings beat powerfully as it changed direction, transforming into a streak of light and fleeing desperately toward the western skyline!

”ROAR!”

Seeing its prey dare to flee, the Thunderboltous Demon Serpent Avatar let out a sky-shaking roar.

Its colossal thunderbolt body whipped around, pulling the Thunderbolt Power from the entire lake below it. It formed a sky-blotting Thunderbolt Sea that swept toward Raylo’s escape route at a speed even greater than Lightning’s!

Wherever the Thunderbolt passed, everything in its path—whether towering ancient trees or hard rock—was reduced to dust!

Just one second before the Thunderbolt Sea was about to catch up to Lightning...

”HUMMM!”

Coal Ball’s Space Magic was finally ready.

A spatial rift suddenly tore open in front of Lightning.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lightning dove straight in.

The moment it entered, the spatial rift slammed shut.

”BOOM!”

The sky-blotting Thunderbolt Sea hit nothing but empty air. It slammed violently into the deserted patch of sky, blasting the space there until it warped violently and was covered in web-like cracks.

「A dozen or so kilometers away.」

Space twisted, and Lightning’s figure tumbled out awkwardly.

Raylo glanced back.

On the distant horizon, the terrifying Thunderbolt Sea hadn’t paused for a moment. It had already locked onto their position again and was surging toward them with unstoppable momentum!

’The first step of the plan is a success!’

’I’ve successfully lured the Thunderboltous Demon Serpent Avatar out from the center of the swamp!’

’So, next...’

Raylo’s gaze shifted to another direction.

There, a speck of brilliant golden light was rapidly approaching at an astonishing speed.

’The Six-winged Angel of Death has also caught up!’

The biting wind howled past his ears, making Raylo’s black robes flap violently.

And yet, in this moment, his heart was calmer than it had ever been.

Behind him were two death threats, each powerful enough to destroy everything.

To his right rear was the surging, sky-blotting Thunderbolt Sea; the rage of the Thunderboltous Demon Serpent Avatar seemed intent on incinerating the very sky.

To his left rear, the speck of brilliant golden light drew ever closer. The aura of the Six-winged Angel of Death was like an invisible shackle, locking firmly onto his position.

’Being hunted by two bona fide Catastrophe Level beings at the same time... it’s all part of my calculations.’

All this time, the Jade Swamp had been like a dormant powder keg.

It was the greatest threat near the Black Stone Territory, but no one knew when it would finally explode.

’So, this time, I’m going to use the Six-winged Angel of Death I lured here to light the fuse.’

”Moonlight.”

Raylo patted Moonlight’s small head. It was time for it to take the stage.

Moonlight, who had been lying quietly in front of him, slowly raised its head.

”Use your Clone Magic. Make a clone of me and Lightning.”

Raylo said.

”AWOO!”

Moonlight responded.

It stood up on Lightning’s back, its snow-white fur fluttering gently in the wind.

It lifted a forepaw and tapped the empty air.

”HUMMM...”

A silvery radiance spread from the tip of its claw.

The radiance, like flowing Moonlight or shattered stardust, gently enveloped Raylo and Lightning.

Bathed in the silvery glow, Raylo’s figure began to grow faint and hazy.

Then, a ”Raylo” identical to him and a ”Thunder Dragon” identical to Lightning appeared within the silver radiance.

The Thunder Dragon clone was also nearly a hundred meters long, also covered in blue-violet scales. Even the wound on its left wing, burned by the Holy Light, was perfectly replicated.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, taking only a breath or two.

A perfect decoy, one that could pass for the real thing, had been created.

Looking at the clone before him—a veritable work of art—Raylo couldn’t help but marvel once again at Moonlight’s ability.

”Coal Ball.”

Raylo’s voice rang out again.

Coal Ball once again forced itself to focus.

”Teleport the clone of me and Lightning behind us, then immediately use Space Travel to get us far away from here.”

”HUMMM!”

Coal Ball let out a low growl. A second later, the Thunder Dragon clone, along with the ”Raylo” on its back, instantly turned transparent before vanishing from the spot amidst a violent spatial distortion.

When they reappeared, it was tens of kilometers away, in the sky to the right and rear of Raylo’s group.

That location was directly in the path of the pursuing Six-winged Angel of Death!

Then, Coal Ball swiped its paw, tearing a spatial rift open a few dozen meters ahead of them.

With a low cry, Lightning immediately dove in.

A few seconds later, Lightning emerged from the air over a hundred kilometers away.

「Behind them.」

After the clone was teleported into position, it didn’t pause for a moment.

The ”Raylo” riding the Thunder Dragon seemed to sense the approaching threat of death from behind and immediately took action.

”ROAR!”

The ”Thunder Dragon” let out a roar full of panic and fury. Its massive Dragon Wings beat powerfully, and a blinding light erupted from its body as it fled with all its might in the complete opposite direction of the real Raylo—deeper into the core of the Jade Swamp!

As it fled, it continuously spat thick bolts of Thunderbolt from its mouth, randomly blasting the swamp below and creating a massive commotion.

It perfectly acted out the part of a desperate creature, fleeing in a panic and trying to buy time by causing chaos.

As expected, the golden streak of light that had been pursuing them as if by teleportation came to an abrupt halt in the sky.

The figure of the Six-winged Angel of Death materialized in midair.

He paused for several seconds, seemingly trying to distinguish between the two suddenly appeared targets.

One was to his front left, its aura rapidly distancing itself.

The other was directly ahead. Not only had it failed to get far, but it was also acting like a cornered rabbit, frantically venting its Power in a final, desperate struggle.

The Angel of Death didn’t deliberate for long. His icy gaze instantly locked onto the Thunder Dragon that was putting up a ”final struggle” right in front of him.

He was confident that after eliminating the target a few kilometers away, he could still catch up to the other aura in the distance.

The six golden wings on his back erupted with brilliant light once more, and his figure became a golden afterimage, streaking after the Thunder Dragon clone!

His speed was a good deal faster than when he had been chasing the real Raylo!

Evidently, he had lost all patience and was preparing to use his swiftest and most devastating methods to utterly purify this ant that dared to provoke his divine might!

”It worked!”

Far away, Raylo, who had been monitoring the scene with his Spiritual Power, let out a cry of triumph!

He had successfully guided the Catastrophe Level Angel of Death to its destination!

Raylo didn’t care how long the clone could hold up the Angel of Death.

’A minute?’

’Or ten seconds?’

’It doesn’t matter.’

As long as the Angel of Death stepped into that region, his objective would be achieved.

’Right now, I’ve already lured away the Demon Serpent Avatar that was guarding the center of the swamp.’

’Now, with the arrival of a new Catastrophe Level being, the slumbering Nine-headed Demon Serpent will face an invasion from a Catastrophe Level creature without its own Catastrophe Level power to protect it.’

’A Catastrophe Level clash is now inevitable!’

And all he needed to do was get as far away as possible before the two powerhouses clashed for real!

”Lightning!”

”Let’s move!”

”ROAR!”

Lightning also let out an excited draconic roar.

It could feel that the terrifying, mountain-like pressure that had been weighing on its soul had turned in another direction.

Lightning’s massive Dragon Wings beat powerfully. All its long-suppressed frustration and exhaustion seemed to transform into boundless Power in that instant!

Its massive body became a bolt of lightning, tearing through the clouds as it flew swiftly toward the Black Stone Territory!
