Transmigrating into a dragon clan experimental subject, is that even possible?

Lu Mingfei stood at the rear, struggling to steady his trembling hands. Although his spiritual power was almost exhausted, he knew he couldn't back down. He took a deep breath, trying to gather his last bit of strength. "Nidhogg's Dream!" he shouted, and black energy surged again, attempting to trap the black-robed warriors.

The pace of the battle quickened rapidly, runic energy intertwined with lightning and bullets, filling the air with intense energy fluctuations. Although the black-robed warriors' defenses were solid, they gradually showed weaknesses under the fierce onslaught of the four-man squad.

"End your game." The black-robed leader suddenly roared, raising his hands abruptly. Purple runes erupted from his hands, unleashing a powerful shockwave that surged towards the four-person team. The dragon aura in the air instantly intensified several times, as if the entire world was under his control.

"Watch out!" Tian shouted, quickly retreating to avoid the powerful shockwave. Chu Zihang and Caesar also quickly dodged, the four of them scattering to avoid the destructive energy.

However, the runic energy swept in like a flood, filling the air with a strong corrosive aura, as if it would turn everything to ashes.

"We can't let him continue to unleash the power of the runes!" Chu Zihang shouted, his eyes flashing with lightning. His blade once again gathered lightning as he charged towards the black-robed man, attempting to defeat him before he could complete the release of the runes.

Caesar's twin pistols suddenly opened fire, bullets shooting towards the man like meteors, attempting to interrupt his spellcasting. Lu Mingfei's black dream-like energy also surged towards the enemy once more, trying to delay his movements.

However, the leader was far more powerful than they had imagined.

The leading man in black robes gently waved his hand, and the power of the runes in the air instantly distorted, forming a barrier that blocked all attacks. Chu Zihang's Thunder Blade struck this power and was actually repelled. He forcibly stabilized his figure in mid-air, a heavy look on his face.

"The rune energy is too strong; we must find another way," Chu Zihang said coldly, his eyes flashing with lightning. He quickly retreated, creating some distance between himself and the team, preparing to launch another attack.

“His defenses are indeed stronger than we imagined,” Tian quickly analyzed the battlefield, his golden eyes flashing with complex thoughts. “He can not only manipulate runes, but is also closely connected to the power of the dragons.”

“Then we need to find that connection point.” Caesar still smiled, his two pistols cocked, his tone relaxed yet laced with killing intent. “Otherwise, we can only keep fighting like this until he exhausts us.”

Lu Mingfei watched the black-robed man's movements nervously. He could feel the energy growing stronger, as if the entire world was under his control. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He gripped his weapon tightly and muttered to himself, "Can we really defeat him?"

The runic energy in the air surged once more, and with a slight flick of the black-robed man's finger, a massive energy surge rushed towards the four like a flood. Caesar quickly rolled to dodge, firing bullets in rapid succession, but they were all blocked by the power of the runes. Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, was staggered backward by the energy shockwave, almost falling to the ground.

"Damn it, his defense is too strong!" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, his anxiety growing.

A cold smile appeared on the black-robed man's lips. He slowly raised his hand, and more runes appeared in the air, as if preparing for an even more powerful attack.

"You are nothing but victims of time," the man's voice was cold and mocking. "The resurgence of the dragons is unstoppable, and you will become its sacrifices."

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Tian shouted, unleashing a barrage of bullets from both guns at full power, but all attacks seemed to vanish without a trace, failing to cause any real damage to the runic barrier. Tian's gaze grew increasingly cold; he knew they had to find a way to break the deadlock quickly, or the situation would become increasingly unfavorable.

Caesar sneered and retorted, "You think you can win? With your rune tricks? We haven't even reached the real climax yet!" He aimed at the man's flank and fired again, but the bullets were easily blocked by the rune barrier.

Chu Zihang took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes. He knew that only a more intense attack could break this stalemate. He quickly moved closer to the sky and whispered, "His source of power must have a weakness; we must work together to find it."

“I agree.” Tian nodded calmly, the light in his golden eyes beginning to analyze the man’s every movement and the flow of runic energy. After a while, Tian said in a low voice, “The runic energy is concentrated in his palms and around them, it seems there is some kind of core supporting his defense.”

"Then attack his hand." Chu Zihang's voice was filled with cold determination, and the knife in his hand flashed with lightning light once more.

“That sounds a bit crazy.” Caesar raised an eyebrow, a smug smile playing on his lips, but he quickly grasped Tian’s plan. “But I like crazy plans.”

At that moment, the black-robed man's runic energy reached its peak, and a powerful runic shockwave erupted from his hand, as if tearing the entire space apart. The immense power instantly swept across the entire battlefield, sending stones flying and filling the air with an aura of destruction.

"Now!" Tian gave the order decisively, and his twin pistols instantly locked onto the black-robed man's palms, the bullets carrying great force as they shot towards the rune core.

At the same time, Chu Zihang's figure flashed like lightning, his blade aimed directly at the black-robed man's flank. Caesar fired from the other side, coordinating with the two's attack, precisely striking the man's defenses.

The man in black robes clearly hadn't anticipated the four's decisive action. Under the continuous attacks, the runic barrier began to falter, its light dimming considerably. The man's gaze hardened slightly, and he clenched his hands tightly around the runic energy, attempting to regain control of the situation.

But at that very moment, a bullet from the sky finally pierced through the rune defense and struck the man's palm.

"Ah!" The black-robed man let out a painful growl as the runic energy instantly collapsed, and the surrounding light dimmed abruptly. His defenses were completely broken, and he staggered back slightly, a look of astonishment and anger on his face.

"He's already off guard!" Tian Leng shouted. "Now's the time!"

Chu Zihang's blade, imbued with the power of lightning, slashed fiercely towards the man's shoulder. The blade sliced ​​through the air, lightning erupting from its edge, aiming straight for the man's vitals.

A flicker of panic crossed the black-robed man's eyes. He retreated swiftly, but the power of the lightning was too fast; the blade struck him almost instantly. The man's body trembled violently as the lightning's force surged through his entire being, shattering the runic light on his body as if he had been utterly torn apart.

“It’s over!” Caesar said coldly, firing his twin guns again, bullets shooting like meteors toward the man’s chest.

The man tried to fight back, but his strength was insufficient to sustain his defense. The instant the runic energy dissipated, he was struck by a bullet and fell heavily to the ground, his blood staining the ground crimson.

The energy fluctuations in the air gradually subsided, and the dragon's aura dissipated. The four-person team stood in the middle of the battlefield, panting heavily, looking at each other. They knew that although the battle was over, the shadow of the dragons still loomed over them.

The valley fell silent once more after the battle, the dragon aura in the air gradually dissipating, but the nerves of each member of the four-person team remained taut. The recent victory did not bring a sense of relief; instead, it cast a deeper shadow over them.

"He's fallen, but why do I feel like it's not over yet?" Lu Mingfei stared nervously at the black-robed man lying on the ground, his unease growing stronger. His hands were still trembling slightly; the battle had almost exhausted his strength.

Tian stood not far away, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light, still vigilantly observing his surroundings. His gaze coldly swept across the battlefield, pondering what might happen next. "The Hermes family will not be easily defeated by this setback," he said in a low, icy voice.

Chu Zihang slowly sheathed his sword. The power of the lightning had dissipated, but his gaze remained fixed on the black-robed man's corpse. "His death will only expose us more completely. The Dragon Clan's revival plan is gradually unfolding; this is just one part of their plan."

Caesar walked to the corpse, chuckled coldly, and crouched down to examine the man's runic weapons. "The sophistication of these runic weapons far exceeds our expectations. Their research on dragons has clearly made a qualitative leap." Caesar shrugged, stood up, and clapped his hands. "Although this guy is dead, he's left us with a lot of trouble."

The four surrounded the corpse. Although they appeared to have won the battle, the sense of danger lingered. A faint dragon aura still lingered in the air, as if reminding them that the real battle was yet to come.

“We need to return to the academy as soon as possible and report the situation here to the professors.” Tian’s tone remained calm, and the light in his golden eyes had returned to normal. He knew that time was running out. “The Hermes family may have other plans, or even other forces approaching.”
