After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

But Looking into It, I’m the Best at Fire-wielding (1)

Living sacrifices?

Summoning a dragon?

The soon-to-be summoned dragon, Shi An: “…”

What the hell?!

At that moment, several mercenaries in front of them had already made their moves and attacked fiercely in their direction.

Zhao She and Wei Bocheng had already prepared for battle and met the opponents when they struck, directly fighting with them.

However, Zhao She could feel that the mercenaries’ strength was more powerful than the previous ones they had encountered in the Abyssal Ruins. With more people on the other side who had more experience in combat, they soon felt overwhelmed and could only retreat under the mercenaries’ progressively more aggressive attacks.

Zhao She shouted, “Hey! Shi An! Come here to help!”

At that moment, the leader of the mercenaries seemed to notice Shi An, who had been wandering at the edge of the battlefield since a while ago.

He glanced up and down at the slender, pretty-faced boy not far away and let out a mocking snort.

“Do you also have strength ability?”

Shi An lifted his dark eyes to look at him and nodded earnestly.

“Yes.”

“Hahaha!” A roar of laughter erupted among the skillful mercenaries.

The leader of the mercenaries laughed scornfully and raised his hand, beckoning at the two strength abilities in his group. “Go and get the child.”

Wei Bocheng was startled and snapped his head around to look.

He saw those two tall, fierce-looking mercenaries walking toward the frail, fair young man with sinister smiles on their faces.

Although he had heard Zhao She say that Shi An was not a bad fighter, he could not help but worry.

Beside him, Zhao She, also fighting miserably, shouted, “Don’t let your mind wander!”

Wei Bocheng said, “But…”

Zhao She said, “You don’t need to worry about Shi An!”

The leader of the mercenary group laughed out loud. “No need to worry? Hahaha! I don’t know you guys…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard several clear bone-cracking sounds accompanied by miserable howls, instantly piercing the gray sky.

The mercenary leader turned his head to look in shock.

The boy remained where he stood, his face docile, his pink fluffy bunny earmuffs and gloves making him look even more childish and harmless–if one ignored the two other mercenaries who had fallen to the ground screaming in agony.

Their limbs were snapped in opposite directions, the white bones piercing the skin and dripping with blood, looking horrible.

“One more time?” Shi An looked down at one of the mercenaries in front of him and grinned.

He stepped forward and lightly stepped on the leg bone of another man.

“Crunch–”

The gnawing sound of breaking bones resounded again.

“AHHH!”

The young man narrowed his eyes and whined petulantly. “This won’t do?”

The mercenary leader: “…”

An instinctive alarm that sensed danger went off and his expression froze.

He then realized that perhaps what the student had just said was true and that this seemingly softest member was the ruthless one.

The mercenary leader didn’t dare to take him lightly this time.

–Let’s get rid of this little demon first!

He winked at his strongest companions in the group and they abandoned their fight with the other two strength-ability students and charged in unison in Shi An’s direction nearly at the same time!

He narrowed his eyes evilly.

So what if he were more powerful? Wasn’t it still the strength system?

As long as the angle of attack was tricky enough and the attack was vicious enough, it would be impossible for a single strength-ability student who was good at physical combat to fend off so many enemies at once!

As the distance rapidly decreased, Shi An did not dodge or evade.

The fluffy pink furry fur lined the young man’s white face. His cheeks and the tip of his nose were frozen red by the cold wind, making his eyes more transparent and his posture more serene. He raised his lips, revealing a bit of fine white and neat teeth, his eyes slightly narrowed, his smile sweet and soft.

Wh…What?

The mercenary leader’s pupils constricted slightly and a hint of incredulity swept across the bottom of his eyes.

However, before he could think of a reason, he saw the young man before him raise his hand. A cluster of scarlet flames leaped from his fingertips, the danger-emitting fire reflected in his dark eyes like a golden-red fire lighting up at the bottom of an abyss.

“I indeed have a little strength ability.”

The young man smiled coyly.

In the next second, the fire that could burn down heaven and earth burst into a frenzied and furious display of horrific destructive power.

“But looking into it, I’m the best at fire-wielding.”

***

Deep in the snow-covered canyon, a hidden tunnel in the stone wall was covered with magic, hiding all traces of the artificial work.

The tunnel was so deep that a line of the gray sky was faintly visible overhead.

The thick stone walls were rugged and jagged, blocking out the sounds of the storm.

Passing through the rocky tunnel, the scenery abruptly opened up.

Scarlet blood formed a vast circle beneath a huge, pale stone dome. Several men in mercenary uniforms were drawing on the ground with human blood.

A man in a luxurious cloak walked through the tunnel and into the cave.

He removed his snow-covered hat to reveal a distraught face.

The visitor was none other than Aiwen District Governor Chen Yanming.

He removed his gloves and walked straight towards the cave. Soon, he stood in front of a man who appeared to be the leader of the mercenaries and asked, somewhat impatiently, “How are things going?”

The leader answered, “Don’t worry. Everything is going smoothly.”

Chen Yanming turned twice in place somewhat distractedly. “Are you sure this will work? You have to know that I’ve taken a very high risk…”

The leader replied, “The higher the risk, the higher the earnings.”

He laughed lightly and slowly continued, “As for the price… I think you’ve already decided in your heart when you chose to work with us instead of cooperating with the Bureau, didn’t you?”

Chen Yanming’s expression slightly darkened as he gritted his teeth.

“–You guys better succeed.”

Although he didn’t want to admit it, what the other party said wasn’t wrong.

Since they decided to deceive Mu Heng and cooperate with the mercenaries to trap the dragon, they had no other choice.

It was also because Lu Yuanyi was now sent to the hospital and was unconscious until now.

Although this guy had also shared part of the treasure and wasn’t considered clean, Lu Yuanyi would probably not agree to let him turn the students of this school and other academies into living sacrifices to lure the dragon in, even for the sake of his reputation and that of Aiwen Academy.

And now, it seemed that Lu Yuanyi lost his control over the academy so that the senior officials of the Aiwen District could reach out and manipulate this academic exchange.

In any case, the most unappreciated strength system attended the academic exchange and even if they grew, they would not be able to grow much. They could use the natural disaster as an excuse when the time came.
