Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 592 The Unsealing Quest of the Black Sword Slaying the Dragon (3K+)

Orpheus's head slammed into the ground and bounced back up instantly. The soft grassland below could not withstand such a terrible impact. The ground cracked and bounced up in the next moment, and the underground rock layers completely collapsed and turned into black fragments that flew in all directions.

A transparent shockwave hummed and spread outwards in all directions.

Orpheus's golden eyes almost disappeared, her thoughts completely stopped, and the sheer force nearly shattered her brain. The scales on her armor cracked and broke a moment later.

Bai Cangshu felt the toughness of the dragon's flesh, as if it were a special material. The force required to travel through the dragon's scales, flesh, and bones was far greater than that of other materials.

This meant that the force he possessed—enough to shatter the organisms inside a tank—hadn't actually killed this second-generation dragon.

This creature... Ha! Interesting, extremely interesting!

Bai Cangshu let out a strange laugh, raised his hand again, and turned his fist into a palm. In the twisting spiral, the Rakshasa Palm, a technique from the world of fists, had been pushed to its peak by his monster-level physique.

As the spiral contracted, the force stirred the air, and as the arm retracted, a spiral-shaped airflow emerged, like a small tornado, moving along the trajectory of Bai Cangshu's palm.

Orpheus's irises were bloodshot, and her brain regained some consciousness from the chaos, as if a king's roar was echoing in her skull from the darkness.

Orpheus suddenly swung its long tail again, shattering the air with a bang and slamming it into the back of the human who was about to attack.

boom!
Bai Cangshu didn't dodge or evade at all. Although his non-soul abilities were also unable to be used after the activation of [Dominator of the Realm], it was not difficult for him to dodge, thanks to his martial arts foundation at the peak of skill.

But Bai Cangshu simply wouldn't dodge.

With a bang, Bai Cangshu's body shuddered, and blood mist rose from his back in an instant. His Qilin Armor was intact, but many of the capillaries under his skin were broken. In the intense pain, Bai Cangshu's mouth opened even wider.

He hadn't felt this kind of pain in a long time.

Pain can also be a kind of pleasure!
This level of stinging only made Bai Cangshu feel more alive, and the smell of blood made the battle even more exciting.

hum~
The air swirled and roared, and the next moment, Bai Cangshu struck the dragon's head with a palm.

puff!
As the palm struck, the spiraling force clearly followed Bai Cangshu's line of sight and entered the top of the silver-white dragon's head. The next moment, the scales and flesh twisted dramatically.

puff puff puff...

The shattered scales and blood were squeezed out by the spiraling force, revealing the dragon's blood-red flesh, as well as the white bones and blood vessels deeper inside, where scalding dragon blood flowed.

"That's it, keep going, that's how it's every punch feels real!"

Bai Cangshu clenched his fist and slammed it down again.

boom!
The ground sank, and the dragon trembled.

Orpheus's mind was in a daze, and countless scenes from the past appeared before her eyes. The next moment, she seemed to clearly see the golden age of the dragon race, a glorious era that she had never personally experienced.

Bai Cangshu kept pounding his fists, consciously controlling the [Death Intent of Senluo]. Whenever the Yellow Springs surged and the Death Intent suddenly appeared, he would disperse the force and strike in other directions.

That surging sense of death, like an ice river about to burst its banks, was frantically accumulating within him.

Bai Cangshu continued hammering the dragon, but the dragon did not retaliate.

puff!
Flesh and blood exploded, and scalding dragon blood rushed towards him. Bai Cangshu finally stopped in disappointment. He saw that countless illusory spirits had appeared all around him, with all sorts of strange and twisted shapes.

These spirit creatures had already crawled all over the dragon's body, constantly gnawing at it.

"Is this all the next generation can achieve...?"

A flash of light appeared in Bai Cangshu's hand, and a jet-black greatsword appeared. Now, his Armament Haki and physical attributes allowed him to easily control this sword.

"Humanity……"

The dragon's voice was faint and indistinct. Before Bai Cangshu could even lower his raised sword, he heard the female dragon's voice as if it had entered his eardrum directly.

That's probably some kind of instinctive control over sound and air vibrations, something one can achieve even when near death.

This extraordinary instinct is a power that humans do not possess.

Bai Cangshu lowered his eyelids, preparing to listen to the last words of a dragon.

"This...world is the world of us...dragons..."

"On the day our king returns to the world, all those traitors... shall die!"

puff!
The black sword fell, a flash of pitch-black light appeared, and the huge dragon head was severed with a soft thud. Dragon blood covered the black sword, and a strange power burst forth from it.

The eerie black aura faded slightly from the sword, revealing a mottled silver surface.

[Black Sword - Dragon Slayer unlock progress update, currently: Second Seal - Unlock requirement: Dragon King's Blood]

Bai Cangshu was taken aback. He looked at the black sword in his hand, his brows furrowed, and for a moment he couldn't remember why he had chosen to take out the black sword.

All kings must die by sword. Logically speaking, since I don't believe this next generation is the Dragon King, I shouldn't feel the need to kill him with a sword.

With his own abilities, there are countless ways to kill a second-generation species that has lost the ability to resist, but he chose to take out this black sword, Dragon Slayer.

Coincidentally, the black sword "Dragon Slayer," stained with dragon blood, was able to obtain the conditions for being unsealed.

Bai Cangshu looked at the greatsword of Guts. He had previously chosen not to fully appraise it because his ability value was insufficient. However, even without complete information, he still "coincidentally" obtained the conditions to unseal the sword.

This feeling of being out of control filled Bai Cangshu with unease. Fate, causality… the names of several people flashed through his mind. He was still unsure whether this was the lingering spirit of the Abyss God from the world of [Sword Wind Legend], the entanglement of causality, or some interference from the King of Fate he had yet to meet in this space.

You have killed Orpheus Nibelheim and gained 7000 Dimensional Points.

You have obtained a drop card (purple)

Bai Cangshu grabbed the purple card that condensed in front of him, and only then did the professor, who had been hiding in the air using a vehicle, dare to land.

He was well aware of his own strength; whether facing Gilbert or the chorus behind him, he could be killed in an instant.

Therefore, after the battle began, I put on the [Invisibility Cloak] and hid.

At this moment, the professor, his expression grave, descended from the sky, disregarding everything else, and pointed into the air...

“Look over there, Lord Tao Pai Pai. I feel we need to get that thing as soon as possible and leave this sea area…”

In the sky, as the dragon Orpheus died, the dark clouds began to dissipate, revealing a large area of ​​bronze-colored sky.

In that sky, it was as if a huge vortex had appeared, constantly drawing in the sea of ​​clouds, but contrary to common sense, the sea of ​​clouds showed no sign of disappearing.

Instead, they kept repeating the process of being drawn into it.

The professor, who was familiar with the Dragon Clan's worldview, knew very well that it was probably a sign that time had become disordered, and the [King of Bronze and Fire] was likely to be resurrected in an unimaginably complete form.

The time of that sky has been taken into account.

He opened his hand, and several high-quality purple gemstone fragments were clearly visible.

He used his ability, but didn't get any specific information.

He saw only flames burning the entire world, and a blood-red giant standing on the sea.

Bai Cangshu remained silent, his expression darkening as he clearly sensed the interference with the trajectory of the power within him.

Tapping.

Serafina, pale-faced, was still trying to drip blood into Etoris's healing wounds when she was lifted up by a large hand.

"The essence is within you, Saintess~"

The professor was startled and immediately stepped forward. He relied on the information he gained through his abilities, and his perception of the nature of energy was far less sensitive than Bai Cangshu's.

He took out the gem again, but the power was still on cooldown and he had to wait a little longer.

Bai Cangshu pressed the jet-black greatsword against the girl's chest, but the red-haired girl showed little fear.

She just shook her head, puzzled.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but if you want to kill me, could you at least let me do one last thing?"

"I want to purify the holy city of Latina... I want those noble knights who voluntarily transformed into beasts to fight against the dragons to return to their holiness."

Only then did Bai Cangshu notice the red-haired girl with freckles on her face and sea-blue eyes.

Those eyes were filled with a serious expression.

Before Bai Cangshu's eyes appeared the figures of two other girls: Cindy, a girl from the One Piece world with the word "Justice" scrawled on her back, and Illya from the Type-Moon world, sitting on the shoulders of a black giant and reaching out her hand to him.

The three figures overlapped somewhat.

With a thud, Etoris, who had just woken up, knelt down on one knee, his long, lion-like golden hair covering his injuries.

"Lord Tao Pai Pai, you said it yourself, didn't you? As long as my heart can still burn, you will protect Lady Serafina's life!"

puff!
The wound that had just healed was torn open again.

The professor's pupils dilated, and Serafina cried out in alarm, rushing forward to offer assistance.

But Etoris flung the other man away, pointing to his own torn chest, his face twitching, his complexion as pale as paper, but his eyes gleaming like flames.

"Look, Lord Tao Pai Pai..."

"My heart is still beating, my blood is still flowing!"

Keng!
The jet-black greatsword swung in mid-air, splattering dragon blood across the grassland. Bai Cangshu sheathed the black sword, and seeing that scene of burning willpower overpowering instinct finally improved his mood considerably.

"Heh, then let's hope you can keep burning until this little saintess is purified."

Having received Tao Pai Pai's promise, Etoris finally collapsed to the ground, where Serafina and the professor quickly bandaged him up.

Bai Cangshu, however, turned his gaze to the other side of the distant sea, where a clear gaze was meeting his own.

Bai Cangshu's lips parted slightly, and a few words were uttered silently.

"Don't worry, I'm coming right now... to kill you~"

In the cathedral of the holy city of Latina, Lawrence closed his eyes indifferently.

"A foolish beast."
