Brass Dragons in the Dragon World

Ander took a deep breath and activated the magic circle without hesitation.

The next moment, amidst countless arcs of electricity, the giant egg shattered, and the monster fell into the center of the magic circle, its slimy flesh trembling slightly.

He wanted to wake up, but it was too late. The magic was slowly peeling away his flesh, tearing him to pieces.

Chapter 47 Brain Stone Surgery

The enormous monster writhed within the magic circle; the slumbering dragon, still asleep, was thrown into the magical meat grinder.

His muscles tensed, his previously closed eyes opened, revealing dim, golden vertical pupils, and his mouth gaped open, emitting a silent scream.

Unlike the red dragon cub that disappeared in the magic circle, this monster struggled for a longer time. He instinctively wanted to eat the human in front of him to replenish his body, which was thirsty from hibernation, but he was unable to move due to the excruciating pain.

The monster raised its bony arms and pressed them against its forehead, letting out a bloodcurdling howl.

Ander noticed a bulge between the eyebrows of his square face, which was gradually growing larger.

The bulge between his eyebrows grew larger and larger. The giant knelt in the center of the magic circle, pinching his head hard, trying to push the thing that had popped out of his brain back in.

The giant's eyes bulged out, with black blood vessels appearing above the pupils, and his mouth was wide open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

The idea popped into his head, and he felt weaker than ever before. He wanted to do something, but it was no use.

The thing pierced his hard skull, emerging from the muscle between his eyebrows, its sharp surface tearing at the skin on his forehead.

Anze looked at the jewel-like substance protruding from the monster's forehead and knew that this must be the power possessed by this pseudo-dragon.

"No wonder he has brain problems, he even has kidney stones."

While complaining, Ander unleashed his full magical power, feeling like a doctor performing a difficult operation on this deformed patient.

Brain stone removal surgery.

Perhaps sensing that it was now in danger, the monster endured the excruciating pain and lunged at Ander.

He covered his forehead with one hand, crawled on his knees, and stretched out his sharp claws to grab at Ander's dragon head with the other.

"Stop him."

This war isn't just about Ander and his dragon; the remaining five won't stand idly by. While they can't take down the monster alone, they're more than capable of intercepting its attacks.

Chu Jie shouted and drew his treasured sword to meet the attack. The red blade struck the monster's grayish-white arm, and black mist gushed from the wound.

The monster's strength was beyond Chu Jie's imagination. Under its immense force, her legs were driven deep into the stone slab. Chu Jie roared:

"cut!"

The fleeting explosion sent the monster's hand flying, leaving its chest wide open.

Chu Jie used the knife to support her body and forcefully pulled herself out of the floor. Her knees were already covered in blood, and several white bone spurs were protruding from her muscles.

Chu Hao rushed forward to support his sister, covering her retreat as several throwing knives flew out, aiming for the monster's chest.

Su Yu, who was behind, had already taken out his family's heirloom throwing knife. The throwing knife, made with alchemical techniques and combined with the power of words that could manipulate magnetic fields, could easily control the landing point of the throwing knife and hit the bullseye from a hundred paces away.

The throwing knife struck the monster squarely in the chest. Its grayish-white skin blocked most of the damage, leaving a shallow wound on the surface. A few drops of black blood flowed down, corroding the floor and creating pits.

The attack did not harm the monster; instead, it enraged it. The monster lowered its other hand that was covering its face and attacked Ander with both hands.

Even though he had just awakened, he knew that his greatest enemy was not those annoying hybrids who were like little insects, but the dragon Ander in front of him.

But a larger attack meant a larger opening, and a loud gunshot suddenly rang out, shaking the dust off the pyramid.

It was Angers who made the move. In an instant, he fired countless shots with his revolver, and the pile of golden bullet casings on the ground testified to the power of that attack.

Bullets with terrifying speed struck the monster's chest one after another, colliding and releasing even greater penetrating force.

A stream of black blood spurted from the wound on the monster's chest, corroding the ground and making a disgusting sizzling sound.

Angers' attack clearly caused considerable damage to the monster.

The gem on its forehead was becoming increasingly prominent, and black blood blinded the monster. It crawled up in a contorted position, trying to leave the range of the magic circle.

The fear of the unknown drove him to desperately want to escape from here.

"Don't let him run, hit his legs."

After settling his sister in, Chu Hao realized the monster's intentions and quickly instructed Ye Tao, who was also using a gun, to take action.

With the aid of the Word of Power: Serpent, Ye Tao's marksmanship was impeccable, and several bullets flew towards the monster's twisted joints.

The mercury-coated bullet pierced the monster's skin without causing much damage, but it did interrupt the monster's attempt to escape.

The monster doubled over in agony, the protruding gem on its head growing ever larger. It desperately tried to cover the wound with its hands, but it was too late.

"Give it to me."

Ander gathered his remaining magic and used a mage's hand to pull out the crystal embedded in the monster's head.

The gemstone, a mesmerizing bluish-green color, was roughly rhomboid in shape and covered in the monster's black, corrosive blood. As it fell into Ander's claws, it emitted white smoke.

Despite the pain of his scales being corroded, Ander placed the gem he had obtained into his spatial bag without hesitation.

On the other side, after the gem left its body, the monster emitted a lot of black smoke, its size shrank, and it curled up motionless in the magic circle.

It's finally over. Although it's unclear which dragon king this monster is descended from, or what generation it is, its bloodline must be quite high. It will become stronger after devouring me, so all the hardships along the way were worth it.

Looking at the motionless monster in the black mist, Dr. Andrew said that the stone removal was very successful and the patient's emotions were basically stable.

"That's it? It's that simple?"

"This is called brine curdling tofu, one thing counters another."

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society were talking behind her. Chu Jie's legs had been bandaged, but thanks to the strong regenerative abilities of mixed-race individuals, her legs would recover completely in a while.

They weren't surprised that Ander used an array to deal with the monster. After all, they had seen too many strange and unusual things during their adventures, so what was so strange about an array that could kill a dragon?

After a while, Ander blew away the black smoke rising from the monster's corpse. The huge monster had turned into a puddle of mud, and wrapped in the mud was a thin human figure, an ordinary person.

An ordinary person who resembles a giant. Like a miniature version of that monster.

He lay sprawled in a patch of black mud, his eyes wide with terror, completely naked, the black mud covering his lower body.

Just as Ander was about to go over, the figure shrouded in black mud suddenly trembled. In the dim light, Ander saw the bulging eyes suddenly turn.

"Watch out, this isn't over yet!"

The next second... the white silk threads spread on the ground writhed like living things and pounced towards Ander and the others.

Chapter Forty-Eight: Rivaling Gods with a Mortal Body

In the vast Nibelungen, the towering white pyramid swayed, and the corpses fixed to its body trembled. White threads, like snakes, dragged the desiccated bodies into the pit inside the pyramid.

The white pyramid began to sink. At that moment, a dragon's roar swept across the sky, and a golden dragon burst out of the wall at the top of the pyramid, with five humans hanging on its body.

"Damn it, shouldn't he be dead?"

Ander recalled everything that had just happened. He had clearly killed the monster with his magic circle, but it suddenly came back to life. The next second, the winding white threads inside the pyramid surged toward the monster, dragging along the dried corpses accumulated over the past hundred years and merging with it.

Seeing that the monster's body was wrapped in white threads, Ander knew that this place was not safe to stay for long. He quickly grabbed the others and broke through the wall at the top of the tower to escape.

The corpses on the tower had all been dragged into the tower by white silk threads. Tens of thousands of mummies were wrapped together with the monster, forming a huge cocoon.

The pyramid trembled, rubble fell, the tower cracked, and it sank in waves of shaking, then was dragged along by the white silk threads, merging with the cocoon.

"What kind of monster did we release...?"

Angers, entangled by Ander's tail, gazed at the sinking pyramid and murmured to himself.

He had thought that Ander's magic circle would be able to deal with that unusual monster, but now it seemed to have awakened some of his power instead.

Ander landed on the ground. The original pyramid had disappeared, replaced by a huge cocoon. The white silk threads were wrapped into a huge ball, lying quietly in the pit, exuding an unsettling aura.

Just as the group was figuring out how to solve this problem, an unpleasant scraping sound rang out in the empty space of Nibelungen.

The next second, a huge tentacle emerged from the cocoon. The black tentacle was covered with countless patterns resembling human faces, as if the tentacle was made up of countless corpses.

The dragon soared into the sky, and Angers and the other five clung to Ander's back. At this moment, Ander didn't care about riding or not; killing the monster that had emerged from the cocoon was the most important thing.

Ander soared through the air, watching as black mucus gushed from the snow-white cocoon, and countless deformed, twisted tentacles, adorned with patterns resembling human faces, wildly flailing about.

Black slime gushed out, and a terrifying behemoth squeezed out from the crack in the cocoon. It had a shape somewhere between a slime and an octopus, and its indistinct black form was covered with patterns shaped like human faces.

On the black body, there was a very conspicuous white dot, which was the person who had been wrapped in black mud earlier, the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Now his head was hanging low, his lower body blending into the beast's black, muddy form, as if he were merely a dispensable decoration on the beast's body.

"Damn it, he absorbed all of them."

Angers immediately recognized that most of the monster's body originated from the mummies bound to the pyramids.

"According to the Secret Society's records, dragons need to replenish a large amount of food when they are reborn from their cocoons. This monster actually devoured so many corpses."

Angers explained that he had never imagined that a second-generation species could have such a huge body, nearly 150 meters long. Such a size could easily be described as a dragon king.

Ander dodged a tentacle that rushed towards them, observing the monster's movements beneath him. This black, slimy behemoth was probably not very aggressive because it had just emerged from its cocoon, making it easy to dodge.

"Angers, have you noticed?"

"what?"

"He has never used the power of words, not even once!"

Angers also realized that no matter how young a dragon was, its methods of fighting, besides physical attacks, generally involved using incantations (words of power). This monster, however, hadn't used incantations, which meant…

"Your magic circle has taken effect!"

"Yes, so what we're facing is just a monster in name only."

A visible joy appeared on Ander's dragon-like face. In fact, what he feared most were those strange and bizarre incantations, which were impossible to defend against. But when facing a character who could only use physical attacks, it was time to show him what the dignity of a spellcaster was.

Ander swooped down, spewing fiery dragon breath from his mouth. The intense breath scorched the monster's flesh, emitting a disgusting, pungent odor.

But this minor injury was far too insignificant to the monster's massive body. Black slime gushed out, and the wounds scalded by the flames healed instantly.

"Don't hit yourself, go to that emperor!"

Angers clung to Ander's back, gripping the protruding spines tightly, his eyes fixed on the white figure.

"understood!"

Ander replied, dodging the blows from the two enormous tentacles, and charged toward the pale-skinned human. He raised his dragon claws, leaned back, and prepared to deliver a devastating blow to the culprit.

The next moment, some kind of viscous liquid blocked Ander's dragon claw strike. Behind the shield formed by the black slime, the skin and bones human finally raised his head and looked at Ander. A hoarse voice echoed in Nibelungen.
