Chapter 431: New Owner of The Land of 1,000 Streams
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A huge area of 3,200 square feet had become a rotten and smelly swamp area. Inside the swamp, a large number of broken bones, stones, and wooden roots emerged from the swamp, and the center of the pothole recessed downwards into a vortex.
When the Ancient Dragonfish saw this scene, its heart sank. This ability felt extremely familiar. This was the special ability of the Blue Water Sky Toad, the previous overlord of the Land of 1,000 Streams, who could turn any area within half a mile into a boiling swamp that could devour all its enemies.
“Croak…” A gigantic Blue Water Sky Toad Dark Spirit emerged from the swamp gradually like two faint pillars of fire that resembled lanterns hanging high in the sky at night.
The boiling swamp was swirling more and more vigorously. A carp-like fish that rolled out of the swamp rotted directly into a set of white bones.
The Blue Water Sky Toad Dark Spirit that was even bigger than a house floated over from the swamp. It looked almost identical to when it had still been alive; the only difference was that it had turned black, white, and gray, three simple colors.
Its lifeless eyes were brimming with a terrifying gray-white flame that was dense, horrible, and devilish. A strong feeling of jealousy appeared in its soul. Though it was dead, it still remembered the enemy who had killed it when it was alive.
“If I can kill you once, naturally, I can kill you twice!” The Ancient Dragonfish wasn’t afraid of the Blue Water Sky Toad. It just felt that at this crucial moment, its appearance could make things more troublesome.
If it didn’t stop these chaotic undead creatures, the Land of 1,000 Streams could become barren soon, and then what was the purpose of being the overlord of it? Eating small fishes and prawns every day?
“Gaaarrhhhh!” The Ancient Dragonfish let out a long howl, the sound close to that of a dragon.
It slammed its tail downward, its body flying out and its fins flat, like sharp daggers that pierced through the empty sky.
Clang!
The Ancient Dragonfish went past the Blue Water Sky Toad directly, a silver moon crescent-like fish fin piercing through the body of the Blue Water Sky Toad.
Spirits were extremely immune to physical attacks, so the Blue Water Sky Toad’s body shook and easily dispelled the fish fin attack of the Ancient Dragonfish, but the water element attached to its fin had definitely caused some damage.
Rumble…
The Ancient Dragonfish rushed forward mightily like a giant mountain crashing down. The streams and small rivers in the area were dragged floating towards the sky and transformed into a thick and heavy giant water knife that slashed downward.
Bang!!
The Blue Water Sky Toad Spirit was cut. Its body shook vigorously, its color becoming even darker.
The aggression of the Ancient Dragonfish was awakened. It opened its giant mouth wide, and layers of heavy waves transformed into intense shockwaves that spread in all directions. A huge number of undead skeletons were shattered into pieces, while the Blue Water Sky Toad was also knocked far away by the Ancient Dragonfish.
The real power of the resurrected undead spirits would be lower than their original power before death, which was different from the bone undead creatures. Spirit-type undead creatures inherited the elemental power of their lives before death, but since they were just spirits, when they encountered elemental damage, they could get hurt very easily.
Undead creatures were continuously resurrected, and these resurrected creatures murdered all the living beings in the Land of 1,000 Streams. At the same time, a large number of undead creatures that were left behind attacked the Ancient Dragonfish crazily.
Although the Blue Water Sky Toad wasn’t an opponent for the Ancient Dragonfish, since it still possessed a King-tier’s strength, it could definitely restrain the Ancient Dragonfish.
The Ancient Dragonfish took a deep breath, and the next moment, a powerful breath of blood mixed with strong water element rose from within its body to the top of its head, transforming into a blue dragon tooth.
The shape of the dragon tooth was irregular, being thirty-seven feet and six inches in length, with a chip at the end. Meanwhile, there was gaseous icy blue mist circling the dragon tooth. For an instant, the air seemed to freeze the moment this dragon tooth was formed.
“Water Dragon Tooth.”
Whoosh…
The Water Dragon Tooth in the sky left a long trail. The air crackled and a piercing shriek sounded as the blue blur dragged and left a long rainbow in its wake.
Boom!
A massive pothole appeared in the Blue Water Sky Toad’s back, just like a lump of clay with a crater that occupied a third of the area of its back.
The wounded Blue Water Sky Toad brightened and dimmed alternately, as if it would extinguish at any time.
“Useless thing.” Dumby sounded disappointed. It stretched out its left hand, then aimed it at the Blue Water Sky Toad before pulling vigorously. The soul was wailing. The next moment, the Blue Water Sky Toad’s spirit twisted into mere gray light and was absorbed into Dumby’s palm.
Taking a deep breath, Dumby’s breaths became even heavier. Dumby’s accumulation had actually reached its peak. Just one more step and it would break through to the King tier.
To other familiars, the bottleneck theory might still have been applicable, but to Dumby who was at the Mythical grade… What was a bottleneck?
It was just a matter of the right timing. After absorbing the soul of the Blue Water Sky Toad, it had a breakthrough. The dark golden bones became even darker, and its five fingers clasped together.
Bang!
There was a loud noise on the ground… Dumby had disappeared from its original position.
“Dang!” The Ancient Dragonfish was pressed into the ground by a single one of Dumby’s palms.
Strong, obscure gray chains extended downward through Dumby’s palm. Its entire arm was penetrated by the gray chains that displayed earth-shattering power. The Ancient Dragonfish, which was comparable in size to a house, could easily smash a skyscraper, but it was forced to the ground, immobile.
With its black robe swaying in the wind, Dumby bent its body slightly, with its five claws digging deeply into the Ancient Dragonfish’s skull.
Dark traces of the Flames of the Undead began spreading from Dumby’s five fingers until they covered the Ancient Dragonfish’s head before spreading into its skull.
“Roar!” The Ancient Dragonfish struggled vigorously in great pain, swaying its tail from left to right, but its head was stiff and motionless.
“Overlord of the Land of 1,000 Streams?” Dumby rubbed its jaw while speaking in a hoarse voice. Finally, after speaking, it started laughing. “This is it, after all.”
The next moment, a white flame emerging from Dumby’s body began spreading explosively in all directions. In a flash, both the Ancient Dragonfish and Dumby were shrouded together in it.
The white flame burned crazily. The Ancient Dragonfish could feel its soul burning, causing it to scream in agony, letting out tortured moans and wails.
The flames shot into the sky, burning the ground a pale white. After burning for a complete half hour, the Flame of Undead receded, although the Ancient Dragonfish remained motionless under Dumby.
Dumby knocked its back lightly.
Crack…
Burnt fish scales scattered all over instantly, with thick black smoke flowing out from the gaps between the pure white bones. There was no sight of any internal organs left.
The huge dragonfish skeleton lay across the spacious ground. Dumby gradually rose in its black robe. With it at the center, the undead creatures around the area began to kneel to him.
“Starting from today, I am the master of the Land of 1,000 Streams!” The flames in Dumby’s eyes flickered, the breath from its body becoming even more obscure.
Dumby looked in the direction of the Black Phoenix Mountain Range. On top of this mountain range, a thick and ominous dark red cloud could be seen covering the entire area.
