Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 851: Vol V Chapter 211

When Clito and Asner worked together as a couple, they were extremely powerful.

They had a good dynamic all along, especially in battle. At the start when they were only mid-ranked, they could already work together to challenge Wall, who had already entered the Legendary Realm. Although they did not win, they were able to sustain the challenge for a decent period of time. Afterwards, they also trained in a secret Kungfu method that was invented by some ancient church and greatly increased the impact of their joined forces. Now that both of them were at the mid-legendary level, if they worked together, other than people like Leon who were at the legendary peak, no one could win against them. That red, giant, dull dragon was no exception.

The couple was extremely experienced in war and had already determined through observation that this dragon was around the mid-legendary level. They attacked together with Clito rushing in first like the wind.

With that, Asner followed, and at the speed of light, she used her sword to pierce the dragon’s throat. To a normal dragon, such a tactic would not cause death but rather would cause a serious injury. A dragon’s throat was its vital point, and if it were stabbed by a sword, there would be severe damage to the dragon’s body overall. It would not be able to speak, and this was an issue as the dragon would no longer be able to communicate in the strong and mysterious dragon language. This in turn meant they were no longer able to use the dragon language to cast magic. This was a common dragon-slaying method.

Asner’s sword, named “Flash,” and was made up of shards of meteorite. The entire surface was clear and silvery green. This sword’s material was extremely precious, and it had been stored as a treasure among the largest tribes of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins. It was not only manufactured exceptionally but also possessed large amounts of star power. If one was slightly scratched by it, the star power would cause great harm, just like how poison would invade one’s body.

While the evil dragon’s body was extremely strong, with one prick of this sword, it was unable to defend itself. It let out a muffled scream, and its whole body shook as if it were about to collapse.

“Nicely done!” Clito assumed that victory was theirs, and he smiled.

The aristocratic knights similarly cheered.

“Great!”

“We’re saved now!”

“Die, stupid beast!”

A few of the veterans who were observant recognized Clito and Asner as the male and female legendary duo. One could immediately tell by Asner’s beautiful, golden hair and thin sword as well as pretty boy Clito’s black hair and twin blades.

Although they seldom stepped up in the past few years, when they had studied in Garth previously, they had challenged many famous professionals and built a strong reputation. Old veterans would definitely be familiar with their names.

“Who are these two people?”

“Are they Garth’s swordsman couple?”

“The Three-Sword Combination? Didn’t they retire a long time ago?”

“No! They’re working in the Republic of Northwest currently. As the nation has good relations with the merchants, they’re here to help them!”

With these shouts of surprise, the aristocratic knights began to panic.

The situation was extremely awkward now. If the evil dragon won, they would definitely perish. However, even if Clito and Asner won, that may not be good for them either. With the evil deeds that they had committed, they still could not accept death.

Everyone looked towards where the carriage had been, with the intention of finding Baron Hauss for his advice.

Recently, Baron Hauss’ iron style and excellent commanding skills earned him the respect of everyone. This was especially so after the ambush of the merchant knights. Baron Hauss had not only managed to calculate the estimated arrival of the enemy and instructed everyone to make preparations, but he was even a part of the frontline troops and demonstrated a startlingly impressive show of skill. He managed to kill multiple professionals sent by the merchants and with his sword power, eventually managing to wipe out a large group of enemy troops, which in turn greatly lowered their morale.

He was seen as the core of this army, and they all believed in him. This crowd was hungry for blood, but even in the most intense situations, they would still look to Baron Hauss for advice. However, Baron Hauss did not appear, and all they saw was a carriage that had now become a pile of garbage.

Someone thought about the previous scene and realized that the evil dragon had seemed to emerge from the carriage. This realization made his heart skip a beat.

What if… Baron Hauss was not actually human, but has somehow transformed into a dragon?

This guess was of course incorrect, but it seemed viable given Baron Hauss’ excellent performance thus far.

Fierce, cold, powerful, uninterested in gourmet food and beautiful scenery, only focused on fighting and killing, multiple victories… Were these not apt descriptors of evil dragons?

At this very moment, the people conveniently forgot about the dragons’ special traits of greediness and such.

The truth was, the biggest characteristic of evil dragons was that they were greedy for wealth. No matter good or evil, all dragons were hungry for glistening coins and treasures. Dragons who were able to suppress this desire were extremely rare.

In any case, now that Baron Hauss was absent, the aristocratic knights felt lost and worried. More than one of them began to plan their escape. Naturally, Clito and Asner observed this scene, but they were not worried. Escape? In front of several Legendary Masters? Dream on!

Furthermore, among the Legendary Masters present, there was also Nice Parne. She was not only Satan’s disciple but was also Master Felix’s child. With such a background, she was able to gallop in the air while scanning the ground for her targets. It would be almost impossible for someone to escape her gaze by running or riding a horse away.

It was just that there was one small problem left to solve.

While the evil, red dragon had been injured, it had not yet fallen.

As shown from its battle with the aristocratic knights, it was merely at the mid-legendary level and should have been easily defeated by Clito and Asner. Furthermore, this duo’s power exceeded many others among their level and was close to the legendary peak.

However, the duo was shocked to realize this dragon’s powers were rapidly increasing, and its ability to survive was extremely strong.

Even though they had created such a large wound, the dragon was still not defeated yet!
