Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 258 The Gate to Alchemy

The moment Xia Mi stabbed Odin to death, the already shattered armor completely broke apart, scattering into pieces on the ground.

Odin's aura dissipated, and Xia Mi let out a soft hum, straightening her posture.

She glanced at the shattered metal on the ground—good alchemical materials, she thought.

"【Word of Power. Heaven and Earth as a Furnace】"

With a chant, Xia Mi used her incantation to manipulate the elements, and Odin's weapons on the ground were all confiscated.

But as she licked the bag, an ominous premonition arose.

"Ok?"

Turn your head and look into the distance.

Deep within the torrential rain, after Odin was defeated by Odin himself, a new aura once again coalesced.

"."

【Kata】

【Kata】

But after a short while, the figure appeared and strode over.

Its entire body is almost silver.

"Taking the top of the world is such a troublesome thing."

He spoke in that same smug tone, the joints of his armor clinking together softly, making the sound of chains rubbing together, as he shrugged and began to speak.

It is Odin.

He... came back to life?
This scene reminded Lu Mingfei, who was recovering his strength in the distance, that it was somewhat like a certain doctor who liked to use Shadow Dancers, but upon closer inspection, a more accurate description would be that the doctor's actions were more like those of the Dragon King in front of him.

The Relic chip was most likely developed based on the incantations of the White King, a dragon king who mastered the spiritual element. From this perspective, it's not surprising that other dragon kings' research on the spiritual element surpasses that of humans.

The puppet that was just killed was indeed a puppet with Odin's consciousness.

Since it's just a consumable, it should be able to make a comeback countless times.

"Humph."

But Xia Mi clearly didn't care.

"Then kill them a few more times."

After uttering an exceptionally cool and arrogant line, the woman smiled confidently and walked towards Odin.

It's just a little troublesome.

Indeed, Xia Mi's swift killing of Odin was achieved through surprise, using her astonishing wisdom of five layers of strategic maneuvering to break through the opponent's weapons and armor, and then completing a series of attacks to suppress him.

Even excluding those factors, in a direct confrontation, Xia Mi would still have the upper hand.

The problem is not big.

The inherently evil dragon king brat, I will personally take you down—

"Ok?"

Xia Mi suddenly stopped in her tracks, her arms trembling.

wrong.

Something is wrong.

Super Saiyan Jormungandr suddenly frowned.

Just a moment ago, her center of gravity shifted to one side—she felt her knees become unsteady.

What happened?
Before Xia Mi could even think, Odin had already closed in the instant she revealed a weakness!

Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, Odin was determined to test the waters first! But this one test was enough to keep Xia Mi busy!
"Well!"

Holding Sloth, Xia Mi used the blade of her sword to block the spear tip at the last moment. The moment the two mythical weapons collided, a transparent domain expanded, and the matter within the domain vaporized simultaneously!
The asphalt fragments overturned by the shockwave remained suspended in the air, then were crushed into shimmering powder by the subsequent aftershocks.

Odin's spear gripped the side of the blade, his entire body enveloped in a storm that scraped against Jormungandr's scales. Both focused intently, adjusting their weapons and striking forward! Intersecting streams of light pierced through each other's backs, scattering countless sparks! Each burst of sparks transformed into a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring into the sky!
The sword's edge whistled through the storm's cage, leaving the latter somewhat exhausted.

How come it's so much worse than before!

Xia Mi was startled.

Based on her own perception, she should be able to suppress Odin while piloting the Chu Zihang. Is this guy really that strong? No! It's me! I've become slow to react!

I've become so slow-witted! Is it because of Chu Zihang?
"Drink!"

Taking advantage of the instant the weapons clashed, Xia Mi stomped on the ground, shattering it with her power, and used the opportunity to retreat immediately! At the same time, she realized the problem she had.

It's about the degree of integration.

At first, it was manageable, as they could get by with their high spirits. However, as the battle continued, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi's bodies began to have a rejection reaction, making it impossible for Xia Mi to fully transmit her thoughts to her body. This created many unexpected disadvantages in the battle.

Depend on!
We've only been together for three minutes!
Chu Zihang, you premature omega!

Just then, Odin pressed forward again! At the very moment Xia Mi was almost struck by Odin—

boom!
A dark shadow shot in from afar, deflecting Odin's spear and giving Xia Mi a brief respite.

Looking towards the source—naturally, it was Lu Mingfei, who had been observing the battlefield from afar for a long time.

After such a long battle, Lu Mingfei had already recovered from the damage thanks to the "Don't Die" skill.

At the same time, after observing for so long, he also gleaned other intelligence.

Information other than "The guy here is not Odin".

—This guy hasn't used the same attack that seriously injured Lu Mingfei when he entered the fray since just now.

Gungnir, the mythical spear that is said to never miss, is likely to exist with some kind of 'limitation'.

Otherwise, wouldn't every strike mean certain death?

Moreover, in the end, he was unable to penetrate Lu Mingfei's heart directly.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei made a judgment.

The spear's strike, capable of killing anyone, is a 'consumption skill' similar to the release of a Noble Phantasm.

[It seems I can resist this inevitable death to some extent]

Since it's a consumable skill, it either has a 'time' limit or a 'use' limit; for example, it can only be used once on the same target.

Based on this reasoning, the subsequent actions have a clear direction.

He originally planned to reveal the information to Xia Mi, but now it seems that it won't be so easy.

Lu Mingfei looked at Odin and began to think.

—We can't win.

Odin is not someone Lu Mingfei can deal with alone; to fight effectively, practical and effective tactics are needed.

Or, a transaction.

"Brother, if you want my help, does that mean you're agreeing to the deal?"

Beside Lu Mingfei, Mingming's face had been extremely pale just moments before, but the moment he heard the key words, Lu Mingze's eyes lit up, only to dim again quickly.

Because his older brother was still as willful as ever.

"No trade, but you come to help."

"Brother, do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Lu Mingfei quickly said, "I know—you altered the bloodline of Mai Shude, didn't you?"

"!!"

Like a cat whose tail has been caught, Lu Mingze's expression changed.

“Unlike ‘Bloodlust’, and not a ‘transaction’, it’s simply a ‘change’. Let me guess, by process of elimination, it’s probably an ability related to alchemy, right?” Lu Mingfei said. “Give me that ability, and make me stronger than I am now.”

".Brother, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Lu Mingze said.

"Being able to change doesn't mean endless change. Humans can't become dragons. You should understand that, right, brother?"

"Your improvement is limited; you are no match for Odin."

"Stop talking nonsense, give me your power, and leave the rest to me."

"."

Looking at that familiar, arrogant face, Lu Mingze finally sighed.

“I really hate you for being like this, and I hate how I soften when I see you like this. Fine, I'll also be the one who promises to help you from now on. So—although it's not a ‘deal,’ you have to promise me one thing after this.”

"Then, let's begin now."

"The door to alchemy has been opened for you."
