NOVPUBChapter 324: Chapter 290 Hunting White Dragon_2
However, in the Gaia World, most assassins still adhered to the combat method that “a blade hidden in the shadows is the most threatening.”
Therefore, how to better utilize the Stealth Status was a direction where assassins could likely gain a combat advantage.
The difference between “Forced Stealth” and ordinary stealth abilities was that this skill could be used in combat and also endowed the user with the protection of Shadow Power.
It was equivalent to a high-level buff of invisibility, making it impossible for even Advanced Professionals without equivalent detection abilities to perceive the form of an assassin using “Forced Stealth.”
White Dragon Tobias was currently in this predicament; his dragon claws viciously smashed into the ground, shattering rocks, but he felt no contact with his enemy.
Flapping his dragon wings and hovering in mid-air, White Dragon Tobias vigilantly surveyed his surroundings.
...
Where had the accursed fellow hidden again?
But no matter how he observed, he could see no further trace of that person.
Hovering for a while, Tobias hesitated.
His brain, which had been furious just moments ago, now began to cool down; the pain from his abdomen became clearer and clearer.
The young White Dragon was starting to think about fleeing.
This human seemed to be a bit too troublesome; perhaps it was better to hide for the time being.
However, just as the White Dragon was looking down, Lis’s figure gradually appeared at the highest point of the Dragon Nest.
But the White Dragon’s entire attention was focused below and he did not notice Lis’s appearance.
Lis was now holding not the dagger from before, but a heavy two-handed longsword.
Whew~
Lis, empowered by the “Floating Technique,” hovered silently in mid-air, quietly eyeing the White Dragon below.
Opportunity knocks but once!
Lis canceled the “Floating Technique” buff, and his body began to fall towards the ground due to gravity.
The sound of the wind during the fall also made Tobias the White Dragon notice that something was amiss, and he looked up.
He only saw the figure holding a broad heavy sword descending toward him.
How could this be?
White Dragon Tobias stared blankly at Lis, somewhat unable to comprehend how this wingless little person could appear in the sky.
When he instinctively prepared to dodge, he saw the little person suddenly accelerate and appear in front of him.
Warrior Battle Skill “Destructive Strike”!
Like a flash of lightning, Lis crossed paths with the White Dragon in mid-air, the longsword carrying the fresh blood of the White Dragon fiercely striking the ground and kicking up a large swath of stone chips.
White Dragon Tobias felt a deep pain penetrating his bones coming from his back, desperately flapping his dragon wings, trying to escape the cave.
But his left dragon wing had lost all sensation.
He looked incredulously at the white dragon wing that was now detached from his body.
This cannot be!
Different from before, Tobias now was filled with disbelief and fear.
He thought he could smell the danger of death.
But the young White Dragon, who had no experience in life-or-death combat, found his mind blank, unsure of what to do.
After hesitating in mid-air for a moment, the unbalanced White Dragon fell hard onto the ground.
Lis, half-crouched on the ground, stood up, sheathing the two-handed longsword.
He was not very accustomed to using a two-handed longsword, but under the influence of the “All Martial Arts Mastery” effect, his combat skills were passable.
This was his goal—to sever the White Dragon’s wings and eliminate any chance of escape.
After all, for True Dragons, they could be considered kings of the sky, their innately powerful flight abilities granted them tremendous mobility.
Additionally, dragon wings were also the strongest muscular area on a True Dragon’s body; although they had some classical magical abilities, the ability to fly was predominantly supported by their powerful dragon wings.
“Dragon Wing Strike” was also a very powerful ability of the Dragon Clan.
But now, the dragon wings, so vital to the True Dragons, had been detached from the body of White Dragon Tobias.
Roar~ Roar~ Roar~ Roar~ Roar!
Lis watched the agonizing White Dragon roll on the ground, struggling to stand up.
Looking at this somewhat pitiful sight, Lis felt no sympathy.
Everyone knew that the Dragon Clan was a group with little compassion, especially the brutal and fierce Five-Colored Dragon Clan.
Lis took out his longsword from the ring again, slowly approaching the White Dragon in the center of the Dragon Nest.
After the dragon wings were severed, this White Dragon had no chance of escape.
The rest was to slowly handle this White Dragon.
Hehe, cute little guy, I’m coming!
White Dragon Tobias watched Lis approaching with terror, his eyes devoid of any anger, leaving only thick fear.
No!
I can’t die here!
I, Tobias, will become the strongest White Dragon!
The young White Dragon struggled desperately to stand up, trying to make one last effort to grasp the hope of survival.
…
The battle did not last long,
Lis, holding a Longsword dripping with Dragon Blood, stood in front of the deceased White Dragon Tobias.
Miracles do exist, but clearly, the Lucky Goddess did not favor this White Dragon, nor did the Mother of Evil Dragons, Tiamat, appear.
This young White Dragon tragically fell victim to Lis, with no future left.
The most obvious injuries on the White Dragon were only in three places:
One massive wound in the abdomen, another in the neck, and a broken Dragon Wing on the back.
Dragon Blood tinged with faint white light slowly spread along the crevices of the ground, and Lis did not rush but opened the system panel.

—————–
Hey, just as I thought!
Lis nodded his head as he looked at the dense information on the panel.
This was the first successful hunt of a True Dragon, further hunts would not yield this many rewards.
Many players in his previous life had completed this task too, and Lis was one of them.
However, the effect of the [Dragon Slayer] specialty was not as strong then, and players only obtained the ability to ignore Dragon Might and enhanced deterrent effects.
The 30% true damage increase was not a part of it back then.
The other specialties and milestones were the same, after all, as a True Dragon from the top of Gaia World’s extraordinary creatures, even though this White Dragon slain by Lis was still a youngling, it was still a True Dragon.
It could naturally be counted as one of the hunter’s top achievements.
Upon slaying a True Dragon in Gaia World, transcendents, especially when returning the dragon head particularly of the Five-colored Dragon Clan, would receive praise and support from city civilians, becoming their hero.
Lis did not care about these empty honors; he valued the tangible benefits more.
“Hehe!”
Lis sheathed his Longsword and rubbed his hands together in front of him, somewhat impatient.
As a top professional power-leveling guru in his past life, Lis was well aware of the immense value of a complete White Dragon corpse.
Dragon Blood, Dragon Teeth, Dragon Skin, Dragon Horns, Dragon Scales…
Even Dragon Meat had considerable benefits and was a rare delicacy.
I’m freaking coming!
