Chapter 1713: Chapter 1713

Because everyone’s goal is the same, the Professionals have all withdrawn and haven’t taken action.

Those people outside were hunted down, but they completely ignored it, and instead watched the spectacle from the sidelines. As time passed, these people were gradually forced by the Dragon Clan’s pressure to unite once more.

However, due to their internal conflicts, it’s difficult for them to cooperate as closely as before.

Also, because their numbers have significantly reduced, they’ve formed several different teams. In the Dragon Clan’s encirclement, they were no match for these empowered giant dragons. Not long after, they were scattered once again.

And this time, having been scattered, these people no longer had the strength to resist. No one knew how many were hunted down; those remaining had already hidden themselves away. Facing the giant dragons, they could only pray not to be discovered.

"Heh, despite having numbers still greater than the dragons, and possibly not being much weaker in power, they’re all hiding."

Du You chuckled disdainfully. In some sense, these strong individuals are no different from ordinary people—they collapse when they have the advantage in strength. Perhaps this is the difference between a ragtag bunch and a well-organized team.

Du You knows this because his Undead have also mixed in with the ragtag group. During the dragon’s encirclement, his tier seven Undead also suffered heavy losses. Even though Du You had tried to let the Undead hide themselves for protection, they sometimes got discovered. These dragons seem to have gone mad.

After this world’s destruction, who knows how many people will be able to escape?

But Du You knows that from now on, the only ones left to oppose the dragons in this world are these Professionals.

Day by day, the apocalyptic scene grows heavier. The sky is dark and gloomy, with no sunlight visible. Beneath the dense clouds, a colorful light occasionally bursts forth, bringing a glimmer of light to the world.

The ground continues to crack open, and inside there’s no lava, only streams of unique energy.

The remaining plants and magical beasts mutate, turning into extremely aggressive species.

No matter what surrounds them, these creatures attack frantically, reminiscent of records from the Abyss. If Du You hadn’t watched this world become this way, he might have believed it was the Abyss.

At this moment, this world is completely unsuitable for anyone below tier seven to survive.

Even tier six Professionals who venture out won’t be safe, as the crazed magical beasts and plants alone leave them in a sorry state. The mutated monsters carry hints of a destructive aura. Although it’s just a little, nowhere near Du You’s own pure essence, this destructive power can contend with the Law.

Before reaching tier seven, even a little contamination is hard to remove, and carelessness could lead to death.

No one knows how many days have passed—perhaps over a month, or maybe two or three months. Perhaps because of the severe mutation of this world, the places where they hid magic arrays were finally discovered by the dragons.

On this day, someone suddenly reported: "Many dragons have blocked us here. Lord Starbreaker has given the order for us to temporarily resist. We just need to hold them off for a few minutes." Follow current novᴇls on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

Numerous tier eight and tier seven individuals stood up: "Although these dragons are troublesome now, fortunately, this empowerment doesn’t greatly affect tier eight. A few minutes? It’s no problem," said the leading tier eight strongman.

At this moment, the barrier outside started to fluctuate. It turns out the Dragon Clan has begun their assault.

"Who’d have thought there’d be such a strong magic array here? Who set this up?"

"Only those few forces could have set up a magic array of this degree right under our noses; everyone should have realized by now. We absolutely cannot let them disrupt our plan."

The numerous dragons opened their mouths, striking downward with a breath of dragon breath.

Yet just as the attack was about to hit the barrier, a figure appeared in front of it. Earthy yellow light burst forth, dazzling like gold, forcibly blocking all the attacks.

"Haha, I didn’t expect you to find us after all. Truly worthy of being the Giant Dragon Clan. Unfortunately, you’re too late. If you had found us earlier, we would have had no other options, but now it’s too late."

Seeing the figure before them, the dragons’ expressions changed. "I knew it was you, Professionals. Only your methods could be so complex and unpredictable."

"Don’t waste time talking to them; they’re stalling," suddenly said a dragon behind.

Seeing there’s no way to delay, they shrugged and faced off against their opponents. Du You also chose a Golden Dragon of the same level as himself; dragons at this level are basically members of those strongest clans.

A look of disdain flashed in the Golden Dragon’s eyes; the Dragon Clan is naturally superior among creatures of the same tier and sees Professionals as equals, each side looking down on the other. Now, with the empowerment, why would it lose to the other side?

A radiant beam slashed horizontally toward Du You. Du You, not willing to be outdone, immediately summoned the Yuan Power Shield to block the cutting light. The extreme forces of darkness and light exploded in mid-air.

"How is this possible? That defensive skill is too strong," thought the dragon, watching its attack only make the opponent’s defense tremble slightly, feeling incredulous.

Du You breathed a sigh of relief; as suspected, the empowerment wasn’t great—even with reinforcement, the dragon wasn’t as formidable as he was.

Relaxed, Du You, surrounded by numerous Shadow Spirit Light Balls, suppressed the opponent without using Summoned Beasts. Du You constantly monitored the surroundings, ready to summons the beasts when needed. In reality, it wasn’t long before Du You resorted to it.

Because there were more dragons than their side, and they had the empowerment of the magic array, their side was less powerful than the enemy.

In less than two minutes, Du You released many Summoned Beasts, either to hold off foes or assist allies.

On the battlefield, apart from the strongest, Du You’s performance was the most standout—not that he was the most powerful, but because he had so many Summoned Beasts. At tier eight, only two people could use such a mob tactic.

Today, the other person wasn’t here. And their evaluation of Du You has invisibly climbed another level; the personal strength he’s displaying makes it impossible to overlook.
