Chapter 502 Don’t Even Think About It
The enraged Lux didn't hesitate to take the initiative to use Duel [EX] against Nero, who had just been hit by Keoza's Dragon Tail.
Now that the silver-haired man was busy dealing with the Crystal Dragon, he was unable to cancel Lux's skill to prevent Nero from being affected by it.
The brown-haired teenager thought that Lux was still clouded with anger and couldn't think properly, so he decided to turn into a black lightning bolt to attack the Half-Elf just like he liked.
However, something he didn't expect happened.
Lux had summoned his two clones by his side, and together, the three of them opened their mouths and unleashed three Dragon Breaths in his direction, which made Nero's heart shudder.
He didn't think that despite Lux's seething anger, the latter was still able to think properly and use his rage to fuel the blazing flames that he unleashed from his mouth as he imbued them with the power of the Abyss!
The black lightning bolt and the three Dragon Breaths collided, and the latter eventually pushed the black lightning bolt back dozens of meters away before it exploded.
Nero threw up a mouthful of black blood as his body crashed towards the ground after receiving Lux's devastating attack head-on.
However, before he could even prop himself up from the ground, he felt another strong attraction forcing him to exchange blows with the Half-Elf, who was now preparing to fire another Dragon Breath in his direction.
However, it was not only three Dragon Breaths--it was six.
Eiko and her clones appeared beside her Papa and opened their mouths wide.
The Baby Slime had really wanted to punish Nero for hurting her Papa, so after Lux had fired the first shot, she decided to join him and ordered one of her clones to activate the skill, Duel [EX], as soon as possible.
'N-No!' Nero screamed internally as his body moved against his will.
However, he was only able to take a few steps forward before the Six Dragon Breaths collided against him, which made him feel as if he had been run over by a truck.
Although he was now a Ranker, and Lux was a Grade A Apostle, the difference in Ranks didn't hold that much of an advantage against the Half-Elf because he had the ability to force his opponents to attack him, or his allies, whenever he wanted.
One can even say that when it came to one-on-one battles, Lux was a very despicable and downright disgusting opponent.
Just as he declared earlier, a Necromancer didn't fight one-on-one battles. They fought with Legions of Undead under their command.
Nero's entire body was now covered with wounds after getting hit by nine Dragon Breaths, which not only ignored his defenses, but was also super effective against him because he was now an Abyssal Creature.
But, the greatest damage he received was not to his body, but his very soul.
The silver-haired man noticed that Nero's state was now at a critical point, so he decided to save him from further harm. However, that was easier said than done.
Truth be told, the body that the silver-haired man was using was only an avatar.
Before Keoza appeared, he was the strongest presence in the Sacred Dungeon because his avatar had the strength of a B-Ranker. His original body was behind the Fifth Gate, and it would only open once the other four Gates were conquered, so when the Crystal Dragon made his appearance, he found himself hard-pressed to overpower the Argonaut-Ranked World Boss Dragon.
Monsters were inherently stronger than other creatures, especially if that monster was a Dragon, a creature considered as one of the mythical creatures that stood on top of the food chain in Elysium.
If Keoza were to be based on mortal standards, it would take at least six A-Rankers to defeat him, which was something that a measly B-Ranker wasn't capable of doing.
Truth be told, the Crystal Dragon could easily defeat the silver-haired man, but he wasn't doing that.
The reason was simple.
He wanted to see if the Abyssal Creature had other tricks up his sleeves or perhaps other allies that still hadn't made their appearance known yet.
Keoza wanted to know if Nero was the only one that the silver-haired man had corrupted among the teenagers that had come to the Sacred Dungeon to challenge it.
Of course, he had other reasons, but they were mostly out of curiosity. He had been with Lux for quite some time now, and he wanted to see how the Half-Elf would deal with the hateful Human who had now fallen under the corruption of the Abyss.
"Don't even think about it." Keoza growled as he slapped the silver-haired man who was about to interfere with the battle between their chosen candidates.
The silver-haired man cried out in pain before he helplessly slammed into the ground face-first.
Keoza then sealed the surroundings, trapping the silver-haired man in a dome, giving the Abyssal Creature no place to run and hide from him.
"How did you arrive in this place?" Keoza asked the silver-haired man through telepathy. "From what I can tell, you are a noble from the Abyss. Did you perhaps get sealed inside the Domain of the Fallen?"
"I have nothing to say to you, Dragon," the silver-haired man replied hatefully. "If you want to kill me then kill me! This is just an avatar. My real body is out of your reach!"
"Don't worry, I don't plan on killing you. At least not yet, not until I get the answers I want."
"You won't get any answers from me, you pitiful Dragon Soul who has lost your body!"
Keoza narrowed his eyes and slashed his tail at the Abyssal Creature, who was crushed under its weight.
The sound of something breaking was heard, but the damage that he had given the Avatar wasn't enough to break it completely.
"I can easily guess where your true body is, so you don't have to be impatient," Keoza said in a teasing tone. "Knowing Lux, we will arrive there sooner or later, and when we do... you will have nowhere to hide from me."
The Crystal Dragon then emitted a pressure that made the silver-haired man lose his earlier arrogance. He regretted his decision of kidnapping Cai in order to use her as a hostage to force Lux to give himself a handicap while fighting against his chosen candidate.
Now that the Half-Elf had summoned the Crystal Dragon to deal with him, the teenager that he had chosen would have no choice but to face the Half-Elf's anger, who was hell-bent to obliterate the corrupted teenager with his Dragon Breaths.
