Ashen Dragon-Chapter 204 - 129: Battle in the Tower

Chapter 204 -129: Battle in the Tower

Natural War Maniac had already crawled up from the ground, waving his battle axe, roaring as he charged at the five-headed dragon monster.

“Ugly beast!”

“Your War Maniac grandpa is here!”

He hacked away at a menacing head that came at him and slashed at the long neck, but once again, another head slammed him away.

Mantou scrambled to roll left, avoiding the monster’s bloodthirsty jaws, but still screamed as the splattering goo burned him.

“This thing’s head is definitely stitched-on from a bipedal wyvern. I’m way too familiar with this corrosive stuff.”

Dodging another heavy stomp, he turned to the distant Xin Dog and couldn’t help but curse:

“Damn, do something!”

“I’m fighting for my life here with War Maniac Bro, Xin Dog, stop slacking off!”

Xin Dog observed the chaotic battle from afar, Mantou and Natural War Maniac were completely suppressed by the five-headed dragon monster, and he couldn’t find the perfect moment to strike.

This five-headed dragon monster had thick skin and scales; arrows wouldn’t cause enough damage unless they hit vital spots.

“Without spellcasters, dealing with such a monster is really tough.”

Xin Dog waited for a moment, seeing the monster’s five heads lift up simultaneously, exposing their vulnerable throats, his eyes lit up.

He immediately shouted:

“Mantou, now!”

“Give me a Dragon’s Roar!”

Xin Dog had already used up his Dragon’s Roar charges for the day and was in recovery. But as a fellow Red Scale Conqueror, Mantou could also unleash a Dragon’s Roar, though its effect was much weaker without the resonance from a wyvern mount.

“Damn, you’re giving commands now.”

“You think this is Pokémon or what?”

Mantou grumbled internally but didn’t dare pause. Instinctively, he opened his mouth wide and activated the skill instantly.

“Roar——”

With the activation of Dragon’s Roar Charge, a thunderous roar erupted from Mantou’s throat.

That sound was akin to the roar of a red dragon, and the resulting force from Cassius’s strength made the five-headed dragon monster feel an immense bloodline pressure, freezing it in place with its heads held high.

Xin Dog pulled out a gleaming black arrow from his quiver, etched with crack-like patterns.

He drew his hunting longbow fully, aiming with just his right eye, and released the string within a single breath.

“Whoosh——”

The arrow’s head split the air with a piercing whistle.

That special arrow suddenly split into three mid-air, dispersing in different directions to pierce the throats of three heads of the dragon monster.

The arrows tore through the thinner, unscaled skin of the throats, directly puncturing the filthy blood vessels and embedding deep into the grotesque heads.

The Hunter’s Mark glowed faintly, with the spell’s power continuously tearing the already severe wounds, thoroughly shredding flesh and bone.

Blood sprayed out.

Three blood falls appeared in mid-air.

The three grotesque heads of the dragon monster struggled in mid-air, flailing back and forth before hanging limp.

Though this five-headed dragon monster was a stitched-together creature, each head had its own will, but their nerves had long been linked by Vagnard’s spell, and pain was shared.

With three heads hit by the splitting arrows, the remaining two felt intense pain and immediately let out agonized howls.

“Aaargh——”

Then, a horrifying scene unfolded: the remaining two heads bit off the dead ones, opened their mouths to a grotesque extent, and with a gulp, swallowed one of their own dead heads whole, even wanting to eat the next one.

The monster’s consciousness had been replaced by a greedy desire to feed, rendering it irrational, enough to consume “itself” as food—but clearly, this did provide valuable energy.

Xin Dog wanted to shoot another arrow while the monster fed, aiming to kill it in one shot, but his hand found an empty quiver.

“Damn it!”

He couldn’t help but curse aloud.

His seemingly ample arrows were exhausted mid-battle!

Mantou and Natural War Maniac came charging from the sides, but the monster’s thick tail swept them away, sending them both flying.

The twin-headed dragon monster swallowed a mouthful of blood with a gulp, then lifted its head, locking its eyes on Xin Dog afar, a cunning gleam in its murky eyes—it possessed a beast’s primal wisdom.

The monster slightly opened its mouth, and cold air emerged from its throat.

Xin Dog recognized the scene, recalling something, and urgently warned:

“It’s frost breath!”

The two heads of the monster simultaneously spewed forth frost-white breath, which covered everything in frost, even forming solid ice.

Being hit by such a frost breath would likely turn one into an ice sculpture, losing life, and wasting the hard-earned dungeon opportunity!

“Run!”

Without hesitation, Xin Dog said.

Frost chased him like a spreading road at visible speed.

Mantou and Natural War Maniac saw this and quickly got up, following Xin Dog’s footsteps out the door—they weren’t in good shape either, running out of means, so they could only flee.

“Roar——”

The dragon monster’s two heads raised and roared, clawing at the door, smashing the surrounding walls with its massive body.

“We have to shake it off!”

“Or we’ll be frozen and eaten eventually!”

Mantou shouted anxiously, feeling his back chilling already.

The monster’s claws and fangs swung in the air, barely missing the desperate Mantou several times.

Xin Dog saw the long hallway ahead, noticing a huge hole, over ten meters high, in a distant wall.

Different from the surrounding laboratories, this passage seemed to lead to the tower’s core, to Vagnard’s largest experiment lab.

Xin Dog gritted his teeth and said:

“Let’s bet! We go straight in!”

Mantou narrowly dodged the frost breath, shouting hurriedly, “Okay, your call, don’t screw us over!”

“Three, two, one.”

“Go!”

At the moment they reached the passage, the three made a sharp turn, avoiding the monster’s claws, and slipped into the dark, deep hole.

The monster instinctively wanted to pursue but froze at the entrance, seeing something frightening, retreated.

It stayed clinging at the entrance, growling threats at the players inside.

“Roar——”

Panting, Mantou bent over, still taunting outside: “Ugly thing!”

“Come in if you’ve got the guts!”

“Roar!”

The twin-headed dragon monster outside roared angrily with a furious face but remained fearful, not daring to step into the passage.
