It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

"You still haven't figured it out, right? Why would you, who have the advantage in size, be fooled by me?"

Although the blow was painful, Bai Lin's body was mostly covered with scratches, so after recovering from the blow to her jaw, she was not seriously injured. She also panted and replied,

"It's a space problem. It's so small here."

The goblin nodded. "The castle the dragon lives in isn't that big for it. It's just big enough for it."

"Huh? Why do you know our goal?" Bai Lin asked in confusion.

Logically speaking, apart from the two people who implemented the plan, only Chris and Meng Zheng knew about it, and it should not be easily heard by the old goblin.

The goblin smiled slightly, "That's good, this will give me some motivation." It casually grabbed a long stick from behind and threw it into Bai Lin's hand.

"Come on, brave man, don't be afraid. But I hope you can learn something from me during this fight."

Bai Lin took the club. Although the goblin gave her time to prepare, she didn't choose to create her own helmet. Now she understood that this was a lesson, although it was not very timely. But in front of the old goblin, she had no choice.

It would be great if I could bring it along to the rescue... With such thoughts in mind, she supported her body with a simple iron rod and aimed at the goblin with the gun-holding posture taught by Leighton.

The goblin smiled meaningfully, showing no intention of connecting the sticks, but simply stood there. Bai Lin felt that he didn't have enough time to confront it, so he slashed at the goblin with a horizontal slash.

In the blink of an eye, Goblind's body transformed into a phantom, and the next moment, he was standing directly on Bai Lin's iron rod. She was shocked. He kicked his foot and tried to attack Bai Lin. The wall was behind her, and she had no time to distance herself. So Bai Lin chose to abandon her rod, loosened her left hand on the iron rod, and punched out!

The goblin, with his extremely flexible form, curled up while holding the club in the air, then "transformed" a club from his other hand and pressed it against Bai Lin's chest. Pain and discomfort immediately shot through her body, and even cracks appeared on her armor.

Although his center of gravity was not stable, the wall behind him was of great use at this moment. Bai Lin kicked out fiercely, forcing the goblin back, and then directly grasped the stick with both hands and slashed at the goblin fiercely.

The opponent still did not make any big moves. He held the stick in his right hand, passed it through his shoulder, and took Bai Lin's stick on the outside of his left shoulder, then spoke.

"Your moves are bold, sweeping, and powerful. But even if you ignore the dragon's breath, its melee attacks are even more sweeping and powerful than yours. If you were to fight like you are now, you would surely be defeated."

While the goblin was speaking, Bai Lintang suddenly exerted force to push down the stick that was still in confrontation, hoping to cause stiffness and build momentum for the next attack, but because the goblin suddenly let go, he almost lost his balance and fell forward.

The goblin sidestepped the stick that fell from his left shoulder and easily caught it with his left hand. It then vanished from Bai Lin's sight for a split second before striking her wrist. The pain forced her to abandon the stick attack and kick it out instead. But the goblin's stick was a step faster, hitting Bai Lin's inner thigh.

"You have two problems right now," the goblin continued his lecture. "Your attack isn't sharp enough, and your initial attack is too ostentatious. The way you kick is like a dragon lashing out in frustration after being struck hard by my claws."

Bai Lin had no choice but to retract his legs, raise his hands high, and point the tip of the stick diagonally at the goblin. "What should I do? My Fiery Iron Forging Technique is based on boldness and confidence. Should I hide and attack? That will only make it more difficult for my damage to penetrate the defense."

The goblin easily dodged Bai Lin's stab and slid to the left. Bai Lin's eyes were blurred again, and then he was hit by an extremely fierce stick attack on his waist.

"Is my attack powerful enough?" asked the goblin.

Bai Lin had nowhere to retreat. She pulled her staff back half an inch, ready to strike back. She no longer dared to attack rashly. If she showed even the slightest flaw, the goblin would pummel her hard. Her attacks had no effect on it. In this situation, she chose to defend herself as best she could.

"Your magic is different!" Bai Lin retorted loudly.

The goblin chuckled, and the sticks in his hands disappeared. Then six more sticks appeared around him and merged into one.

"My technique simply prevents my opponent from reacting for a moment. In the moment of surprise and anticipation of my next attack, my opponent loses their advantage and is one step behind me."

"So, your essential openness and openness will not be disturbed by it. Experience it with your heart, brave man. Don't be so passive in choosing your attack method, but think about how to make your most effective attack succeed."

Hearing this, Bai Lin closed his eyes, as if he saw the Thousand Shackles Temple of the evil dragon appear before his eyes again.

What a flawed power-up! Stepping on the leaping shield, she passed over the top of the linear beam of light. Although the roar of the explosion still caused her to suffer from tinnitus and other adverse conditions, she remained focused on the thin white line that would form next.

Once again, Bai Lin used the force to run higher, passing through the gap to reach more intersections of white lines. She used the gravity of the fall to explore further. At this time, she was no longer far away from the dragon, but she no longer had the strength to cross the white lines.

What should she do? She didn't know. But when Bai Lin saw the dragon's hateful smile, she just wanted to hit it regardless of the consequences.

"The hidden edge is the strongest edge."

Thinking of this, Bai Lin was like a lost soul, concentrating on his entire body and his long blade. What did he mean by hiding? Of course, it wasn't about hiding, but rather preparing for a stunning move.

Her blade disappeared unconsciously, and she was the only one still emitting light in the dark world. When she came to her senses again, she had already passed through the net of light. The bursts of white light were cut into pieces by the sharpness in her hand, but the blade was still across her waist.

Bai Lin, who had mastered everything, raised the blade high, pointed the tip of the sword at the dragon, and with a fierce blow, he pierced through the dragon's body.

Chapter 100 Dragon Slaying Spear

After the sword thrust, the illusion was shattered. Bai Lin saw the tip of his staff successfully pierce the wooden stick in the old goblin's hand. It smiled and held the stick, watching it break in two before its eyes, then casually tossed the broken stick aside.

"I knew you could learn it. Hero, once you've mastered this technique, it will be much easier to attack that dragon. Breaking through its defense will only be a matter of time."

Having said that, the old goblin coughed twice, turned around and began to rummage through his bag.

Secret Law and Circle

After watching it several times and listening to Goblin's explanation, Bai Lin finally mastered this technique through various martial arts. Although this obviously greatly improved her combat effectiveness, making Bai Lin feel her chances of winning. However, she still would not miss the opportunity to replenish her combat power and hurriedly asked,

"Senior, can you come with me to rescue people? I will do my best to reward you."

The goblin laughed, then coughed. "I do think so, but with my current strength, I can barely last five minutes on that plateau. That's why I'm helplessly trapped in the cage."

Even without turning around, the goblin could sense Bai Lin's obvious frustration. It grabbed what he was looking for, then turned around and handed a spear head to Bai Lin's hand, "Here, I found it. With this, it can be considered as me accompanying you in the battle."

After Bai Lin took possession of the charred black spear with dark red markings, she felt a strong murderous aura emanating from it. It was remarkably similar to the feeling the dragon had given her, yet decisively different. It contained only the purest murderous intent. Although a faint lingering resentment lingered within, it was barely enough to create sparks.

"This was the main reason I was captured. It's also the weapon I painstakingly forged in prison and in the village. Unfortunately, it's still unfinished. After the dragon knight pierced the dragon's body with a spear, this was the scarred front half of the dragon. I used other materials to patch it up."

"The murderous spear is extremely resistant to most materials. Even if I use our ancestral forging skills, I can only achieve this level." The goblin smiled bitterly and helped Bai Lin hold the spear head tightly.

"Although it can't be used as a weapon, this spear, wielded by a dragon-slaying warrior, naturally bears the title of Dragon Slayer. It will have a certain degree of suppressive power against evil dragons. Take it, and from now on, our debt is settled."

Bai Lin gripped the spear tightly, met the goblin's serious eyes, and solemnly accepted the spear part that could be called a divine weapon. But instinct pulled her again, and she placed the spear head on her shield.

A miracle happened.

Instantly, a blood-red wind blew from her hand, sweeping away the pure black mist that had spread out immediately. They tangled together, engulfing the ominous atmosphere brought to the village by the darkness. Due to the impact of the whirlwind, Bai Lin almost lost his grip on the weapon in her hand.

When a divine weapon is unleashed, there will inevitably be a strange phenomenon in the heavens and on earth. Bai Lin felt this clearly today; even the night sky seemed to have become a little clearer. She looked at the spear in her hand, its patterns becoming more regular and clearer, with a murderous dragon's wings swirling above its tip. She couldn't help but feel like a boy with a new toy, eager to go out and fight.

"This..." Although Bai Lin, who was holding the weapon in his hand, did not feel much, the old goblin's expression was very shocked. "It seems that it was completed in your hands."

"Hmm. It just feels like something's missing. So-called artifacts should have their own stories, but this one seems to be missing that part..."

The goblin smiled and nodded. "Of course. This is your weapon. Its story should be written by your deeds. I hope you can use this spear to carry on the will of the dragon rider and continue to fight against evil and injustice."

Bai Lin scratched his head, not quite understanding what was going on. "Anyway, the first thing we should do is kill the evil dragon lurking in the snowfield."

"Haha, that's right. It's kept me imprisoned for so long, you must stab it to death!" The goblin could no longer conceal his excitement. He dropped his master's airs and happily patted Bai Lin's waist (not quite on the shoulder). "Now, choose your new weapon. It will leave a shocking reputation in history."

Name it? Bai Lin was always obsessed with naming things, but how could he pass up this exciting opportunity at such a critical juncture? Bai Lin pondered for a moment. Since the gun itself didn't have a story, he could fill that gap with a name imbued with a legendary story.

"Let's call it Gungnir." Bai Lin decided on its name, drawing on the mythological background often found in certain comics. The magic spear that guaranteed a hit, the lightning that started a war, the source of meteor wishes, Gungnir. It undoubtedly had a resounding name in its original world, and now, Bai Lin would carry on this brilliance as he wielded this magic spear.

The goblin narrowed his eyes, not disguising his approval in his words. "What a sharp and good name! Brave man, shall we set out now?"

Bai Lin nodded as she gazed at the night outside the window. While her increased combat power gave her a bit more confidence in victory, if she didn't rescue Katie in time, then everything would be meaningless.

"Wait for my good news, Goblin teacher!"

"Human heroes, please don't call me teacher, but I will naturally prepare a song of victory for you. Go with peace of mind!"

With his blood boiling, Bai Lin walked with firm steps towards the Moonlit Nightingale at the entrance of the village. He leaned over the flawless flower that symbolized Klein's pure will and slowly closed his eyes.

Wait for me, Katie.

-

Some time ago, inside the castle.

Katie was in good spirits at the moment, wearing a black evening gown carefully selected from the dragon's treasure. Although she had never dressed so beautifully in her life, she naturally did not feel the slightest bit of happiness.

The dark black dress complemented her fair skin. The exposed white thighs from the cross-body dress, though not quite in keeping with her age, still did not affect Katie's alluring figure. The ruby ​​ornament hanging from her chest, inlaid with gold, added the finishing touch to this gorgeous outfit.

But a hint of worry lingered in Katie's resentful eyes, changing the overall mood. She looked like a melancholic beauty, as if one could smell her sorrow even with a deep breath.

Chapter 101 Two-Faced Dragon

Crouching behind her was, of course, the dragon itself. Like an old father reuniting with his children, the dragon didn't express any of its own intentions, instead offering Katie a clumsy and hasty display of care.

After bathing and dressing, she cleaned off the excess powder. A sumptuous dinner was also prepared for her, of course, looted from the defeated Karsas tribe outside. Being a younger brother these days is truly difficult. Not only does the older brother not help you, but he even demands things from you.

"You are still the most beautiful like this...it would be best if you could smile." The evil dragon said with a silly smile.

Katie's brow furrowed even further, stroking her chin and leaning forward. She'd already prepared for a desperate fight, a mutually assured loss, but the dragon's behavior left her uncertain of its intentions. So, she could only wait for her magic power to return.

It said it lacked the affection of its children, but it had already driven the other two dragons out to guard the gate. It would be strange if it was partial to one. Could it be that its plans required its cooperation?

After a few seconds of thought, Katie shook her head, deciding not to think about it for now. While she still had her magic power and the other party was still able to communicate, she could gain more information through communication since she couldn't determine their intentions.

"You are actually the Holy Dragon Kronostia, right?" Katie relaxed her brows and naturally asked a sharp question.

Hearing this, the dragon's laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a feeling of darkness and terror once again. However, it only lasted for a few seconds. The evil dragon called Kronostia sighed and put away his momentary hostility.

"I haven't used that name for a long time... How did you know that?"

Seeing that the other party did not deny or overreact, Katie chose to answer the question.

"Your deeds are quite well-known among humans. At least in our village, everyone knows about your deeds. My own magic was developed and created based on the white light column you used in the legend."

But after truly experiencing it face to face, Katie could clearly sense the fundamental difference. High heat, large area, while the magnitude of the difference was significant, there was still one gap between Katie and Chronostia: "holiness."

Katie, who possessed a high talent for shrine maidens, naturally assumed that the so-called Holy Dragon was inherently sacred. However, the Thousand Shackles Temple used by the dragon did not contain any faith.

The evil dragon was silent for a few seconds, then slowly asked, "So, you will choose to follow me?"

Katie shook her head. "I didn't have time to think about that at the time. Using magic to offset some of the light and barely survive was already the limit."

"That's because your dragon blood power has yet to be developed. If you follow my plan... forget it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Katie sensed the change in the atmosphere. The silent, icy darkness sent a chill through her. Due to her dragon blood, she was slightly more resistant to Chronostia's mental attacks than Bai Lin. She watched fearlessly as the dragon raised its head high and roared to the heavens.

After a huge roar, the dragon lowered its head and looked at Katie. Its hot breath sprayed on her face, causing her to raise her hand to block it. Seeing this, the dragon showed its evil smile again and returned to its nature.

"What's wrong, father?!" Hearing such a loud noise, Askatifu rushed in from outside and asked hurriedly, looking like a eunuch helping the emperor.

"Get out!" The dragon didn't even raise its head, but gave Askatifo the order. Askatifo, who had seen the dragon's anger, had no choice but to run away in shame. Seeing Katie fall to the ground because of the noise, the dragon opened its big mouth and said slowly and clearly,

"Listen carefully, human. Right now, I simply want to use you as a sacrifice to achieve my goal. The past is unimportant; it was merely a stepping stone for me to surpass everything. Do you understand?!"

The moonlight outside the hole gradually dimmed. Perhaps it was the passing of the second half of the night, or perhaps it was the wrath of the evil dragon symbolizing darkness. The shifting light made the atmosphere even more confusing, as if the entire world had entered a black mystery, a labyrinth of darkness.

Looking at the roaring dragon, Katie slowly stood up without saying a word... because she had already noticed the arrival of the brave man.

-

On the snow-covered mountain, the only flat slope was piled with corpses: minotaurs from both sides, as well as fallen earth dragons and chimeras. It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place here, leaving both sides devastated. Even the survivors would not choose to return here.

If the warm safe house no longer offered protection and was filled with the corpses of their companions, then it could no longer be called home. Therefore, the remaining surviving Blue Flame Tauren fled in all directions, taking a path of no return that was getting smaller and smaller with each step.

A battlefield devoid of fighting naturally leaves only desolation, especially in this desolate land. Asketifur planned to clear the battlefield at dawn. As he understood, the dragon's plan wouldn't be fully realized until tomorrow's full moon. So, he and his wife, Tiamat, would likely remain outside for another day. The sight was truly unbearable.

Askaitifo, venting his discontent to his wife, was extremely depressed. He had gone in to see what was going on, but was scolded out for no reason and had to serve as a gatekeeper for those lower creatures, which was really annoying.

It and Tiamat sat beside the still-unfading flower in the ice field. It was in this extremely irritable mood that it saw the existence that would increase its workload—

The brave warrior holding the dragon-slaying spear appeared beside the flower amidst the shattered light. The moment she opened her eyes, the two dragons unexpectedly felt a sense of danger they hadn't felt before.

"I knew you wouldn't give up, human. It's your bad luck to come here at this time!" Askatifu jumped up from the ground and yelled at Bai Lin.

It clearly ignored the sense of danger now. Tiamat, naturally believing it was just an illusion, stood up on the other side, ready to fight.

Bai Lin did not respond. He simply glanced at the two dragons and raised his gun.

Chapter 102: Ascending Dragon and Killing

A flash of black-red light emanated from the spear tip, and Tiamat took a step back in fright.

"This is... not good, Askatifer, why don't you go in and reunite with your father first?" Tiamat asked in Dragon Language.

Its biological instincts made it fear the spear that had so nearly killed the dragon. Due to the dragon's injuries, it was unable to come out to support it in its current state. Only the two of them could find shelter inside. With Chronostia there, their combat effectiveness would be truly transformed.

Although Askatifo clearly sensed the danger, it showed no sign of retreating. It wasn't reckless, but it also didn't believe this human could truly improve their strength in just one day. It also understood that Bai Lin's previous attacks were merely scratching the surface for them, the dragon.

"He's just a fox borrowing the power of a tiger. Even if he changes to a more powerful weapon, what good does it matter?" Askatif snorted and deliberately replied in human language.

"Then let's give it a try." Bai Lin didn't want to say much. Although she felt that she had a sure win now, before facing the dragon, every bit of energy she could save was a chance of winning.

She had anticipated the other party's fear. After all, the spear was decorated with dragon wings. Conversely, thinking about someone else's weapon with a pair of human hands was quite creepy. So this time, Bai Lin was the first to move.

Secret Law Circle

Right off the bat, Bai Lin used a new skill he'd learned, disappearing from Askaitifo's sight for a split second. This technique, as if entering an empty space, was specifically designed for single targets. After all, Bai Lin didn't actually disappear, but rather activated an "effect" on a single enemy.

She had just learned this, and needed more familiarity to ensure she could use it more skillfully in the next battle. This move didn't deplete her physical strength, but it did require more concentration.

Although he hadn't yet reached the goblin's level of fluency, he could still use it effortlessly after calmly preparing before attacking. Lowering his center of gravity, Bai Lin arrived at Askatifor's feet after a moment's disappearance.

The other party immediately discovered her whereabouts with great surprise, and before it could react, it had to face Bai Lin's further attack. Just as the extremely sharp spear tip was about to pierce its lower body, it manipulated a certain amount of wind to forcibly pull its body up, thus avoiding the disaster.

Bai Lin naturally didn't care whether the opponent was surprised or not. Her attack was to be seamless, giving the enemy no chance to breathe. It needed to be smooth and continuous, coupled with lightning-fast speed. She took a deep breath, held the spear upright, stepped on the pole, and with a strong push, switched her hand to the spear. A feint sent the dragon soaring a little higher, but she then unleashed her main attack while the dragon was still in its rapid movement.

Gungnir Piercing
