Chapter 777: Chapter 621: Dragon

Although he lied about the beast claw matter, when crisis struck, Sword Master Funiu chose to bear the brunt himself and let Roger leave the place.

Even if it was a reluctant decision, it made Roger develop a fondness for him, and he had a vague sense that the issues connected to the Atlas clan were probably not as simple as they seemed.

Furthermore, just now, having seen the bloodline connection and felt the essence of the Atlas Great Bear, Roger’s power had increased as well.

[Quinn Sword Seal–link with the earth] Solid and strong, the Atlas Great Bear is a child of the earth; when it stands upon the ground, there is no power that can break its defense.

Excavating the purest earth, when activating the Quinn Sword Seal, Demon Hunters can temporarily connect themselves and their surrounding environment, during which stage any damage taken will be distributed until the linked area is destroyed or energy is exhausted.

[Quinn Sword Seal–Blessing of the Great Bear]

While in the state of link with the earth, Demon Hunters draw strength from their surroundings, the stronger the energy, the greater the boost they receive; at the moment of eruption, the extracted power will cause Demon Hunters to break free from the state of earth connection.

The original Quinn Sword Seal emphasized defense and counterattack, a process of absorbing damage and then transforming it for an outburst.

This ability had helped Roger resolve many issues, but in increasingly frequent battles, the defensive power weakened, and the converted force relied too much on the damage inflicted by the opponent.

It had gradually become an independent means of defense.

However, this time, the re-enhanced Quinn Sword Seal aligned perfectly with the philosophy of the Bear Fraction, and Roger grasped the two most distinctive features of the Bear Fraction.

Defense and strength.

No matter what attack, I will block it.

No matter what move, I will crush it with strength.

This way of fighting was entirely different from that of the Cat Fraction.

In fact, if a regular Cultivator chose to follow the inheritance of both these Fractions from the beginning until reaching the peak, due to their complementarity, they would possess a tremendous advantage.

But ordinary people’s energy is limited; practicing both and aiming to break through the peak simultaneously has too low a probability.

Roger’s ability to multi-task was thanks to Hunter’s Cabin’s help.

He could clearly feel that the philosophy of the Bear Fraction leaned more towards the Western World; if combined with the attacks of the Cat Fraction, it would certainly become more powerful.

His eyes flickered with sharpness, and he was filled with curiosity about the area beyond the door.

“Only that one thing.”

Caught red-handed by Roger, Sword Master Funiu naturally had an embarrassed look on his face, but he quickly regained his usual righteous expression.

“Follow me.”

After saying this, he gripped his great sword tightly, and a powerful force enveloped them both, then they entered the dazzling array of strange lights.

Roger immediately felt the compression from the space, but as Sword Master Funiu had said, the power of the Atlas Great Bear indeed had strong resistance against spatial compression.

Then they were squeezed out from the passage, and a dazzling red filled their entire world.

It was a long, seemingly endless corridor, as if a cave had been carved out from underground, with the surrounding space compressed like rocky walls.

Above them, was flooded with mottled red.

Thick as blood.

No.

Roger frowned, his expression undergoing a violent change, he knew that the red staining around them was blood.

And the power it contained was all too familiar to him.

“This is Dragon Blood!”

Roger exclaimed in astonishment.

Sword Master Funiu also looked shocked.

He was born and raised in Everworld, but that did not mean he was ignorant of the Western World.

After all, it was the Dragonborn who had defeated Atlas in the Western World, and in any legend, dragons can be regarded as ultimate creatures.

Their might is beyond doubt.

“Are you sure you are not mistaken?” Sword Master Funiu asked.

Roger nodded his head.

“I’m not mistaken, I have once obtained a Dragon Scale, and I have also been in contact with Dragonborn…”

“Cough, I do have some authority in this area.”

Amanda is a Dragonborn with a high purity of bloodline, and now she is not far from reaching the Fourth Tier.

A Fourth Tier Dragonborn is much stronger than other Transcendents.

“Judging from the purity of the energy in the blood, this dragon that dyed the corridor red is much more powerful than the one believed to the Dragon Scale I have encountered before.”

Roger observed his surroundings carefully.

“This is from long ago; the area is extremely enclosed, and the remaining energy in the Dragon Blood is still preserved.”

Roger walked toward the distance, then pulled a scale-like object from a crack in the corridor.

The dazzling silver light flickered on and off.

A mere scale, yet it seemed to possess a life of its own.

“Can you tell how long ago this happened?”

Sword Master Funiu asked.

Roger shook his head.

“At least not recently, maybe a few years ago, maybe several decades ago.”

“Or even longer.”

The two exchanged glances, each seeing the concern in the other’s eyes.

A dragon, no matter where it came from, is like a nuclear bomb in reality, an absolutely catastrophic entity.

The corridor where the two were seemed to have no branches, and to the left and right, they grew cautious.

Choosing one direction, they may soon face a dragon.

This was no longer a simple choice, and it might even involve a life and death decision.

A dragon corpse…
