Amandara didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, only knowing that a force was transmitted from above, and then the volcano, which had not erupted for three hundred years, was like a person who had eaten something bad and couldn't hold it in, suddenly finding a toilet, and lava erupted.
Amandara clung tightly to the volcanic rock wall, not letting the lava spray her out. Unfortunately, her body was too large, and the lava carrying hundreds of thousands of tons of force only took five seconds to blast Amandara out.
"No!"
Screams echoed in the volcano. A giant dark shadow rolled in the lava. In the moment of rolling, Amandara saw two figures floating in the air. Powerful auras radiated from them to the surroundings. Such powerful beings were no different from the sun on the ground to ordinary magical beasts, only to be admired from afar and not approached. At this moment, these two were looking at her in a sorry state with great interest.
But upon closer inspection, Amandara saw that behind the man were a pair of dark red dragon wings lazily fanning. He was actually a dragon descendant, so they were family!!!
Amandara quickly stopped her body and then lowered her height slightly, one or two meters lower than these two. She forced a smile onto her face that she thought was gentle but was no better than that of an evil spirit. "Two esteemed sirs, this is the territory of Amandara, the Volcano Dragon. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Li Xi pointed at himself, "I am Li Xi, a dragon descendant from the surface, pursuing an eighth-level vampire. This is my wife, Avril, a divine descendant. We hunted down the eighth-level vampire together just a few days ago. We were about to return to the surface, but we noticed a black dragon here, so we came to take a look."
The words uttered from Li Xi's mouth, eighth-level vampire, divine descendant, hunted down, when put together, almost caused Amandara's dragon wings to cramp, making her the first dragon in dragon history to die from falling. She was only level six, and every word here was something she could not even dream of reaching. It was like you being a primary school student and the other side being an academician, a difference of two dimensions.
Now that two people capable of killing an eighth-level powerhouse had set their sights on her, she was desperate. But Avril's next words completely shut down her despair.
"Husband, why are you being so modest? You killed that Nasser with a single punch. Why bring me along? Those who don't know might think I have such great abilities."
Li Xi affectionately hugged Avril and said dotingly, "Isn't this to show off my status, so people don't say you, the second-generation god, are undeserving of your title?"
Amandara lost the mood to curse. One of you is a second-generation god, and the other can kill an eighth-level powerhouse with bare hands. Why do you still tease me like this?
"It is the greatest honor of my life to meet you two. I have accumulated quite a few treasures in the underground world over the past three hundred years. If you two don't find them beneath you, I am willing to offer them all as a token of my sincerity."
Amandara's posture was as low as it could be. Any intelligent being knew how possessive dragons were of treasure. Some dragons would rather die than give up a single gold coin. Now, with just two sentences from Li Xi and Avril, this black dragon was willing to hand over her treasures, which was unprecedented.
Li Xi did not address Amandara, but instead asked Avril, "Wife, I lost some treasure earlier. Do you know where I lost it?"
Avril feigned anger, "You actually hid your personal savings from me? I'll tell Sister Alice when we get back, and she can go to the God of Mercenaries to arbitrate. You have both of us, and you still dare to hide personal savings? Do you want to find another one?"
"No, no, how would I dare? I just wanted to save some money to buy you two gifts, but I was so careless that I lost it. If I find out which black dragon stole my treasure, I promise that after I catch her, I will devour her eighteen ways to Sunday, leaving not even a single dragon scale."
Although Li Xi said this to Avril, his gaze was always fixed on Amandara. In Amandara's eyes, this gaze was like a butcher appraising lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the market.
Black dragon, why don't you just say it was me? No matter how indignant Amandara was, she still maintained her expression. Her powerful dragon claws twitched powerlessly, as if she had a stroke. Every word that came out from between her teeth carried her blood and tears. "Esteemed sir, I think the treasure you lost was coincidentally found by me. I have kept it safe for you and await your retrieval."
Seeing the black dragon looking so wronged, Avril couldn't bear it. Although they were here to slay dragons, it seemed a bit unfair to insult a dragon like this. She reached out and patted Li Xi, signaling him to stop playing.
Li Xi understood immediately. He took out his executioner's sword and pointed it at the black dragon Amandara. "Bold black dragon, how dare you steal my belongings? Today, I shall grant you the death penalty."
"Roar!"
Amandara's tears finally could not be held back. A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. She had already brought enough shame to her dragon race, being so humble, retreating again and again, even offering her treasures accumulated over a thousand years, only to be met with such humiliation.
"Worm, with such immense power, you still toy with an adult dragon like this. You are not worthy of being a strong being."
"Heh, I'm just playing with you, it makes me happy."
Chakra surged into his left brain.
"Open, Gate."
"Boom!"
The powerful aura made it difficult to approach. Li Xi shot out like lightning, breaking the sound barrier. His iron leg struck Amandara's abdomen with a scream.
Dealing with a level six dragon like this, Li Xi truly felt a bit unaccustomed. This level of strength always gave him the feeling of punching a kindergarten class.
Amandara couldn't even see Li Xi's figure clearly before feeling the entire world invert, and the contents of her stomach were instantly expelled.
"Gak!"
On her way being kicked away, Amandara opened her mouth and vomited out everything she had eaten in the past few years. It fell to the ground, like a small rain.
This single move told Amandara that her strength was no match at all. Forcing down her spasming stomach, complex and obscure incantations began to resonate within her chest. Magic surged within Amandara's body. She had chosen her most proficient Dragon Language Magic.
Dragons were at the pinnacle of magical beasts in both close combat and magic. They possessed both, which formed the foundation of their status in the world of beasts. Other magical beasts could only use one or two types of magic naturally. Three was considered a lot. Most of the time, they relied on brute force. Only a very few magical beasts could cultivate multiple schools of magic. Among these, dragons were the most outstanding, especially their proficient use of various Dragon Language Magics, which were even more powerful than when cast by humans.
Magic emphasized using one's own magical power in a fixed arrangement to leverage the forces of nature and then release the magic. The more magical power you had, the more natural magic you could leverage. The same level of magic would naturally be different when used by humans and dragons, as a dragon's magical power could be equivalent to that of hundreds of mages.
Even more impressive was that everything a dragon possessed came from its bloodline inheritance. They received it in the egg and did not need to learn it later. As long as their magical power reached a certain level, they could use the corresponding magic.
The importance of knowledge was self-evident. This ability to pass down knowledge alone could leave other races that needed to learn for themselves tens of thousands of miles behind. Therefore, in most cases, dragons could continuously improve just by sleeping.
Of course, Li Xi obtained his dragon bloodline through his own cheating methods and could not obtain the inherited knowledge from the bloodline. Regular dragon descendants could also obtain magic through their bloodline. Although the inheritance they received was not as much as that of dragons, it was not insignificant. Unfortunately, for Li Xi, it had completely become a passive buff, and he couldn't use a single magic.
The killing intent in Amandara's eyes was palpable. Despite her subservient plea, the butcher's knife was still raised high. She had nowhere left to retreat. Even the most cowardly goblin would dare to charge at a magical beast. Today, she had to fight to the death.
Amandara, with a suicidal resolve, did not live to see her magic cast upon their heads. Because of the divine power fluctuations emanating from the woman who was flirting with that scoundrel, a feeling of all things submitting made the Dragon Language Magic in Amandara's mouth suddenly get stuck. She forgot the incantation that was etched into her bones and could be recited backward.
The power of a second-generation god was limited. Powerful gods would not easily give birth to offspring, as it would dilute their divine power and weaken their own strength for no reason. Only evil gods, unable to control their desires, would procreate indiscriminately. However, the divine power in their offspring was minuscule. The weaker ones were only around level four or five. Amandara initially thought this woman named Avril was also like that.
But the divine power fluctuation now made Amandara instinctively believe that a legitimate god had descended. Such powerful divine power could indeed rival some minor deities.
Amandara's eyes welled up with tears again. You are so powerful, why are you picking on a mere level six black dragon like me? What's the difference between this and a master of martial arts bullying elementary school students every day? A grandmaster blocking the school gate after class every day, wanting to duel with elementary school students. Do you have any shame?!
"Wife, look, she's crying. Is she thinking about not having a husband yet? Isn't she envious of us?"
"Husband, stop fooling around. We've been out for so many days, it's time to go home."
"Alright, immediately. The next move will end it."
"Open the Rest Gate, Open the Life Gate."
All three gates opened. The ferocious aura not only made the black dragon Amandara's eyes bulge in fear, but the Bronzebeard tribal dwarves at the foot of the mountain were also the same. Some even had their legs trembling uncontrollably, unable to stand steady. In their eyes, there was a sense of the volcano being suppressed by Li Xi and unable to erupt. He was indeed capable of killing an eighth-level powerhouse, too strong.
Such a powerful being, who could toy with a black dragon that had suppressed them for three hundred years in the palm of his hand, gave them no reason to say 'no'.
As long as he didn't oppress them like the black dragon, they were very willing to live under Li Xi's rule.
Li Xi looked at the black dragon Amandara, who was trembling all over with nervousness and dodging in the distance. "Boom!" His body shot out like an invincible knight charging into enemy lines, or like a torrential flood that could not be stopped.
At the last moment of life and death, Dragon Language Magic resonated in Amandara's mouth again. However, this Dragon Language Magic was different from before. The previous magic was filled with sharp killing intent, but this one was different. This magic had no destructive power.
Li Xi's speed was astonishing, and Amandara tried her best to buy herself time to live, constantly moving in a serpentine manner. Her wings were about to flap until they cramped. If the temperature were any higher, these dragon wings could even spontaneously combust due to the rapid friction with the air.
Finally, just as Li Xi's executioner's sword was about to sever her neck, a red beam of light shot out from Amandara's body, instantly breaking through the spatial distance and ensnaring Avril from afar.
Li Xi could already see the dragon scales standing up due to the sharpness of the sword energy. In just another tenth of a second, this black dragon would have been beheaded, but now he couldn't. Before Avril made a decision, he could not act.
Amandara was so scared that she almost spat out her heart. Fortunately, the master-recognition contract took a very short time to activate, and the time she bought was just enough. If it were any later, her dragon head would truly have been taken to make hot pot.
