Chapter 493 The Strongest Blow in Bell Craney's Heart
"Nine gods reside within the magic stone?!"
"Didn't those damned gods say there were only three?"
"You'd be better off believing I'm Albert than believing them!"
Not only the gods, but even the adventurers noticed the figure inside the Black Dragon Magic Stone. Upon closer inspection, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, as this was far beyond their expectations.
A variety of expressions, including shock, awe, fear, and disbelief, appeared on the adventurers' faces.
Having devoured nine gods, the Black Dragon's capacity is far beyond what Scorpio Andaris could ever hope to match.
It was already the strongest monster born in the dungeon. No one could imagine how terrifying it would be if the Black Dragon were to recover to its peak state and use the powerful authority of the nine gods at the same time.
Even though the other party has not fully recovered, they are already an existence that makes the whole world despair.
Finn's thumb trembled, writhing in excruciating pain.
"The power of a god?" Hedin thought to himself. The black dragon's terrifying regeneration could no longer be explained by its powerful recovery ability, but rather by some kind of even more powerful ability.
The battle is clearly not over yet.
The surface of the Black Dragon Magic Stone, as deep as a cosmic nebula, was enveloped by a pure white light shield as thin as a cicada's wing, completely enveloping the core of this life!
Adventurers had never heard of such a thing before—a monster's magic stone that could protect itself?!
Many intelligent people vaguely realized something, their eyes lighting up. If the magic stone wasn't important to the black dragon, why would it use a special ability to protect it?
Without a doubt, the magic stone is the weakness!
"What a joke! Just die already!"
How could they watch the Black Dragon recover again! The remaining forces of the Orario Alliance launched a hysterical attack. Allen's silver spear thrust straight in, Tiona's twin blades tore through the air, and Grace's giant axe shook the earth—countless attacks poured onto that thin light shield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The allied forces unleashed a dense, rain-like attack, powerful enough to tear the sky apart, which crashed down on the protective shield of the Black Dragon Magic Stone, causing a deafening explosion.
Everyone seemed to be grasping at the last straw, attacking the magic stone with all their might.
The most eye-catching were the four who had mastered "Afterglow".
Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!
Ota, Leon, Liu, and Ais were like four peerless divine weapons unsheathed. Using the "Residual Light" technique they had learned, they swung their swords simultaneously, and four sharp sword beams of different colors, yet equally dazzling and containing the power to tear through space, rushed towards the Black Dragon Magic Stone.
Golden light surged forth, silver light broke through the dawn, emerald starlight shone, and jet-black wind blades ripped through the sky, like an interwoven net of death, strangling and killing the magic stone!
The fierce slash swept past and struck hard, causing the protective shield of the black dragon to spark with dazzling sparks.
The final result was incredible.
That black dragon magic stone was as stable as a mountain.
The "Residual Light" slashes of Ota, Leon, Liu, and Ais, as well as the hundreds and thousands of attacks from the adventurers, could not shake that thin light barrier, including the LV.9 slashes and Ais's anti-dragon special attack.
That light barrier seemed to be an absolute barrier isolating the world, indestructible, blocking all attacks.
"This guy's too tough!"
Chun Kobrand raised the heavy hammer and slammed it down hard. The impact was dull and continuous, and the vibrations that returned made her hands go numb and blood spurt from the mouth of her hands.
"This is bad, if this continues—" Finn's face was grim. He had no doubt that if things dragged on any longer, the black dragon would revert to its previous state.
But they can't do that!
By now, the Orario Alliance has suffered severe depletion in the battle. Apart from Ota, who possesses exceptional endurance, and the Astrea Familia members who have the Heavenly Elixir, the condition of the others is about to plummet.
Ais, Riveria, Heci, and the others were drenched in sweat and breathing rapidly. They even had to use their weapons to support their bodies in order to barely stay standing.
The fatigue of Leon, Hedin, and others was hard to conceal.
The lower-level adventurers were even more exhausted.
The airship was damaged, more than half of its energy was consumed, and its main guns and many turrets overheated, making it unable to continue frontal combat and only usable as an aerial platform.
But the protective shield around the Black Dragon Magic Stone stood like a towering mountain, blocking their way.
"hateful!"
Welf looked ahead and slammed his fist into the ground. The allied forces had suffered countless casualties and had come this far, yet the core of the Black Dragon lay quietly on the ground, and they were powerless to destroy it.
This is also the thought of adventurers, feeling helpless and painful, with a sense of powerlessness enveloping them.
Just as an atmosphere of despair permeated the entire venue.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The ancient and solemn sound of bells faintly echoed across the battlefield, reverberating in a deep and resonant manner, as majestic as war drums. Hearing this sound was inspiring.
"let me!"
A resolute voice rang out clearly.
Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look at the back of the group, where they saw a white-haired boy with bloodshot eyes.
Bell Craney!
The boy, who had always been chasing after the hero's shadow, was not particularly outstanding in this battle at level 5, but at this moment, he was the only one who stood up.
Bell walked step by step toward the Black Dragon Magic Stone.
"It's him!"
The Orario Alliance, and even people all over the world, all took notice of her. She was given the title of "Light of the Lion and Rabbit" by the gods. In just over a year, she reached LV.5. Her two subsequent upgrades even broke Roy's record, making her the current record holder for the fastest upgrade.
He was also the most sought-after person of the year!
Only Bell knew that Mr. Roy deserved much of the credit for his rapid growth.
Through the knowledge systematically acquired in the school district, Bell is not a complete novice, nor is he a severely unbalanced adventurer who blindly pursues the speed of leveling up. Instead, he is a well-rounded warrior with perfect scores in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor!
Clever little Belle had a vague idea that he possessed a skill that could accelerate his growth.
But Hestia, the chief goddess, did not tell him.
It's likely that the skill has some kind of trigger condition. Once he knows the specific effect, he might weaken the effect or even make the skill ineffective.
Roy's arrangement is the best path for growth.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Bell held the first-class weapon—the greatsword—forged by the goddess Hephaestus. As the bells rang out, gradually growing louder and more deafening, starlight emanated from his right hand.
"That's a skill from Lion Rabbit's Light!"
The adventurers of the Orario Alliance looked solemn.
Throughout the year, Bell used this skill extensively, wreaking havoc in the dungeons. This was witnessed by adventurers and spread throughout the city. Its power was not to be underestimated; it could even kill monsters of higher levels.
Bell's palm seemed to hold a dazzling galaxy, its radiance spreading to the weapon.
"The power I need is—"
Bell pondered, realizing that he needed the strongest blow in the world to break the protective shield of the black dragon!
He had witnessed Leon's City-Shattering Slash, "The Mighty One" Ota's Golden Slash, and Alphia's magic "Annihilation - Prayer"—the strongest attacks of countless powerful warriors were deeply etched in his heart, but these attacks were far from enough to break through the Black Dragon's shield!
After a quick thought, Bell was certain of the answer without hesitation—the only correct answer!
The image that remains deepest in his memory!
The strongest attack he could be called was the ultimate slash Roy used when he challenged the Black Dragon a year ago. It was the ultimate revenge he accumulated after enduring countless damages!
"Mr. Roy, I want to be a hero!"
The image of the person he longed for flashed through Bell's mind, and in that instant, the pure starlight in his palm was stained with a blindingly tragic crimson.
The crimson color spread rapidly as if it were alive, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a boiling, burning, dark red flame that exuded an ominous and destructive aura.
The blood flames then covered the greatsword in Bell's hand.
"This aura—no way!"
The gods and people all over the world stared wide-eyed at that splash of bright red blood.
The allied adventurers on the battlefield felt more directly the familiar aura emanating from Bell, the thick blood flames swelling as if a tall figure were materializing behind the white-haired, blood-eyed boy.
"call!"
Bell's journey wasn't as easy as others imagined. His skill "Hero's Wish" required charging, and with each level he gained, the maximum charging time increased by one minute, and correspondingly, its power multiplied.
Using Hero's Wish + Hero's Aspiration, you can replicate the attack of the person you admire. The longer the charge time, the more perfectly you can display the original characteristics and power.
"It's so heavy!"
Bell's face was deathly pale, beads of sweat the size of soybeans slid down his forehead, and his muscles were tense. As time passed, the greatsword in his hand seemed to bear the weight of billions of mountains, becoming incredibly heavy.
This was the first time he had ever experienced such immense pressure.
He was able to perfectly reproduce Leon's slashes and other attacks.
But now, replicating this attack gives Bell a feeling that he might fail.
Was this Mr. Roy's strike?
What astonishing power, what terrifying pressure! An indescribable shock surged forth like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming his consciousness.
"Ugh!"
Bell let out a painful roar, clenching his teeth and waiting for the power to be fully charged. However, the unimaginable pressure spread from the hilt of the sword to his entire body. His tough muscles groaned under the strain, and even the blood vessels under his skin could no longer withstand the terrifying internal pressure, bursting open and turning him into a hideous blood-soaked figure in the blink of an eye, as if his bones would be crushed.
Finn, Ota, Leon, and others could all sense the powerful conviction emanating from Bell.
The allied adventurers ceased their attack and silently watched Bell gather his strength. If this strike couldn't break the Black Dragon Magic Stone's protective shield, then no amount of help would make a difference!
After all, that was a blow from "The Madman (Roy)"!
At that moment, Bell seemed to become the center of the world, being watched by countless eyes.
He didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to it.
"Ughhhhhhh!"
When the five-minute charging time was up, Bell, who was almost unconscious, relied on instinct to unleash a roar that shook his soul, and charged toward the Black Dragon Magic Stone, pouring all his strength and will into this ultimate slash and swinging it fiercely.
Using the residual light, the dark red slash detached from the blade, leaving a lingering crack in the space where it passed, with burning dark red embers.
It slammed heavily into the light shield of the Black Dragon Magic Stone!
boom!!
A deafening roar exploded, the earth suddenly sank, and the cracks stretched wildly forward, forming a huge rift valley, spreading a vast and desolate aura.
The adventurers had already retreated several kilometers away, but they could still feel the power of the attack, which was earth-shattering, and their faces showed shock.
And you can clearly hear a sharp cracking sound!
Click!
As the dust gradually settled, to everyone's disbelief and near-dumbfounded gaze, the defensive light shield that had withstood countless bombardments from adventurers without even a ripple appeared with spiderweb-like cracks at the point where Bell's slash landed.
Immediately afterwards, with an even clearer wail, the protective shield of the Black Dragon Magic Stone completely collapsed, turning into pure white dust that filled the sky.
"It's broken? It's broken!!"
"The light shield is shattered!"
"Bell Craney, he did it!"
The deathly silent battlefield was like a powder keg that had been ignited, and immense shock and ecstasy welled up from the depths of countless pairs of eyes that had been filled with trepidation.
Shattering the black dragon's protective shield, the dark red slash dissipated, and Bell collapsed to the ground, limp and powerless. His face was filled with joy as he thanked the hero he admired: "Mr. Roy, I did it!"
Hero's Wish: Charge up for five minutes at maximum, and at the cost of severe injury, replicate at least 80% of the power of Roy's ultimate slash!
Bell was drowsy; his physical and mental strength were at their limits. The Black Dragon Magic Stone hadn't been destroyed yet, but now he had to leave the task to someone else.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened.
The instant Bell shattered the light barrier, Ota, Leon, Ryu, Finn and the others moved, forcibly shifting their exhausted bodies and rushing forward.
Perhaps this was their last chance, and everyone unleashed their chilling power.
Eight meters — meters — three meters — meters —
As their attacks drew ever closer to the Black Dragon Magic Stone, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they silently prayed that nothing else would go wrong!
However, even such a humble plea was destined not to receive the favor of the god of fate.
The protective shield shattered, and as the black dragon's true form, a magical stone, was exposed to the sunlight, this life core that had devoured nine gods erupted with a destructive radiance billions of times more dazzling than any previous attack.
Ota, Leon, and the others felt a shiver run down their spines.
As if being watched by a dark and boundless abyss, an intense chill rose from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, accompanied by an extreme sense of crisis.
Their instincts, honed through countless brushes with death, compelled them to flee this place as quickly as possible!
laugh!laugh!laugh!
Countless condensed golden beams of light, imbued with the will of absolute death, shot out from within the Black Dragon Demon Stone, their annihilating death rays sweeping indiscriminately across everything!
The first to be hit were Ota, Leon, and others who were attacking the Black Dragon Magic Stone. Their sword-wielding figures were instantly pierced by dozens of molten golden beams of light!
Countless tiny holes appeared on the body.
They were thrown into the air by this terrible force, spraying a shocking rain of blood in the air.
In just a moment!
Bell shattered the light barrier, extinguishing the tiny flames of hope that had just been ignited among the Orario Alliance and around the world by the black dragon magic stone from the abyss.
