Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 134: Thunder and the Watcher (44)

Dragon Raja 5

 Susie turned off the microphone and closed her eyes like Chu Zihang, concentrating fully.

Lancelot was giving her orders over the microphone, telling her to avoid direct combat with Chu Zihang. She was on this ship because the academy had a rule that every Immortal mission required a “guide.” The guide’s job was to monitor the Immortals and prevent them from causing disastrous consequences.

The scene of Chu Zihang destroying the battering ram had been transmitted to Lancelot via satellite. Lancelot certainly didn’t want his girlfriend to clash with such an unidentified monster. Monsters should be left to monsters to deal with, and the last thing on that ship was monsters.

Susie didn’t want to argue with Lancelot, so she turned off the microphone. That was just her personality. She almost never argued, but once she made a decision, no one could change it. She was both gentle and stubborn. She could tolerate a friend’s repeated mistakes, but she might leave without a word the third time, never considering them a friend again.

And Nono was her best friend, because Nono never make the same mistake repeatedly. Her innate character seems to want to make all the mistakes in the world over again.

Susie decided to challenge the mysterious man who controlled Jun Yan. Few people could arouse her curiosity in this way.

She was confident of victory, not out of arrogance, but because she was keeping Chu Zihang in the dark. Unable to find an opponent, Chu Zihang could only fight Susie’s black blades, against which Jun Yan was powerless. Chu Zihang’s only chance was to guess Susie’s location and, with Jun Yan or her powerful close combat ability, kill her with a single strike.

But Susie wasn’t about to give Chu Zihang this chance. The moment she closed her eyes, something shifted within her. Her bones crackled softly, and the muscles on her seemingly boneless body suddenly became defined. Tiny scales emerged from her skin, silently snapping together. When she opened her eyes again, the light from her golden pupils illuminated the surrounding darkness.

She detonated her bloodline, temporarily suppressing human will while invigorating the dragon blood. Its offensive power and ability to control spirits were instantly multiplied. This ancient technique, discovered by the founding members of the Lionheart Order from ancient texts, allows one to temporarily strengthen oneself solely through willpower. While this technique carries a high price to pay, it can be used on the battlefield to save lives or even turn defeat into victory. Susie spent a long time mastering the key to this detonation, and it’s the reason she, as the Decapitation Master, has repeatedly returned safely from dangerous battlefields. She’s more than just a stealthy assassin; once she detonates her bloodline, she possesses the power to confront even Immortals head-on!

Even Lancelot didn’t know this secret, which was why Susie wanted to cut off communication.

The atmospheric ionization in the steam room became stronger, the black blades vibrated, the floor and walls cracked, and small metal parts slowly floated up. Chu Zihang was surrounded by countless weapons, but he still lowered his head and closed his eyes, like a child who was punished by the teacher for doing something wrong.

    ***

The helicopter was flying at high speed close to the sea surface. Lancelot angrily took off the microphone on his head, and there was no longer any sound of Susie in the microphone.

He understood his girlfriend’s personality well, so it was easy for him to guess what had happened to Susie. He had faith in her, but facing that monster who could control the Blazing Flame, he felt an inexplicable panic. To outsiders, he always appeared calm and composed, but only when it came to matters related to Susie did he become anxious and uneasy.

“Fly at full speed!” He calmed himself down and gave the order.

The helicopter suddenly accelerated, and below it was the surging sea, like mountains that rose and broke in an instant, and seagulls were crying anxiously on the crests of the waves.

Nuonuo raised her foot to kick the hatch, but Lu Mingfei, enduring the excruciating pain of a broken bone, held her back. The immortals were still roaming outside, and the loud bang of that kick would instantly draw all the immortals in. The door that Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo couldn’t open wasn’t an obstacle for the immortals.

They had tried all sorts of methods and were exhausted, but the stainless steel door didn’t budge at all.

Nuonuo knew her kick was a desperate move, driven by frustration. She didn’t complain about Lu Mingfei’s resistance. She retreated, panting softly, and sat down against the wall, covering her face with her hands. Breaking down the door with her strength and the equipment they had was impossible. She had a plastic explosive in her backpack, but she had used it up when she blew up the escalator.

The only solution was for Lu Mingfei to transform into a dragon again. Although the broken thigh bone would be difficult to heal, the lame monster should still be able to tear the door apart. However, Nuonuo knew how dangerous transforming into a dragon would be for Lu Mingfei, so she couldn’t bring herself to suggest such a thing.

Lu Mingfei didn’t mention it either. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to take risks for Chu Zihang, but the audio clip of the bangzi opera he had saved in his phone was gone!

“I’m doing this for your own good,” the third person in this space said earnestly. “You’re already three-quarters mine, but you keep torturing yourself like this. Aren’t you abusing my property? Dragon transformation would be very harmful to you. It might even shatter your soul.”
