You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 63
"Silly Dragon, keep up!"
With one arm wrapped around Mo Shiyu's waist, Xia Yuan leaped through the shattered window with her in tow before she could even process what was happening.
Keep in mind, the hotel restaurant was located over thirty floors up!
They had just finished their meal.
And now they were on a free-fall ride!
Mo Shiyu was so terrified she clung tightly to the waist of the person beside her, not daring to open her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"Oh oh oh, coming!"
The Platinum Dragon King hurriedly hoisted Zhou Ke onto its back, spread its wings, and excitedly followed Xia Yuan's lead.
This was its first time making a Contracted Spirit friend from outside, and it felt it needed to put on a good show!
One man and one dragon, each carrying their own Spirit Tamer, performed a dashing leap of faith, beginning a free fall down the side of the towering hotel!
Not far away, the dungeon portal had already landed and solidified.
Heading in that direction!
Xia Yuan adjusted his trajectory, hovered in the air for a moment, then kicked off against the building's wall, letting out a delighted "Whoo-hoo!" as he used the momentum to propel himself forward—thrilling and exhilarating!
The Platinum Dragon King, watching from behind, got very excited and wanted to mimic his cool and stylish method of kicking off the building to launch forward!
But it quickly suppressed that impulse.
If it kicked the building with its strength, what if it damaged the structure...
It wasn't like that monster ahead, capable of precisely controlling its power.
As a dragon with manners, the Platinum Dragon King obediently spread its wings and glided down behind Xia Yuan.
Inside the city, the streets were already in chaos. Pedestrians were fleeing for their lives, crammed together in a panicked mess.
City Defense Officers, official emergency response teams, military personnel, and police officers had all arrived on the scene, doing their best to evacuate the crowds.
A cordon had been set up around the dungeon portal!
But the downtown area was densely populated, making it difficult to evacuate everyone in a short time.
Moreover, a flood of level 60+ monsters had already begun pouring out of the Four-Star Dungeon!
"Damn it! A Four-Star Dungeon, and it had to land right in the busiest downtown area!"
"If we don't handle this well, many more people are going to die!"
"We'll head over to clear the minor monsters first. You all continue the evacuation. Alliance reinforcements should arrive soon!"
"Everyone, please don't crowd. Follow our instructions!"
"..."
The various City Defense Officers and Contracted Spirits were in a frenzy, their voices overlapping in the chaos.
The dungeon portal had fallen from the sky, taken root, and level 60+ minor monsters were now running rampant!
And around it, there were still many trapped civilians.
Especially inside a "Kendy's" restaurant, many civilians remained un-rescued, as the portal had directly blocked the main entrance!
Several robust, large wolves had already spotted them and surrounded the restaurant.
Among them, the elite monster—the level 70 Wolf King—let out a howl, commanding its underlings to prepare for a surprise attack.
The people inside the restaurant looked utterly hopeless, breaking down into tears one after another. Some had even started making final phone calls to leave their last words!
"Mom, your son might not make it back. I'll be filial to you in the next life!"
"I don't want to die so young!"
"Someone, please save us!"
"Where are the Spirit Tamers and their Contracted Spirits? Hurry! I don't want to be eaten by wolves!"
"When trouble strikes, don't panic. First, record a video and post your final social media update: 'Brothers, I might be checking out. A dungeon portal just landed on my face...'"
"..."
The Wolf King let out a tremendous roar that instantly shattered all the restaurant's windows!
Most of the people inside the Kendy's were parents with young children. The kids had never seen such a scene and immediately burst into terrified sobs.
The Wolf King strode to the front, baring its full set of fangs, ready to enter the restaurant and enjoy its feast.
A figure descended from the sky, landing with one foot squarely on the Wolf King's head like a meteor striking the earth, instantly pinning its skull into the ground!
"Sorry!"
"Little wolf pup, I did that on purpose by accident."
Xia Yuan landed holding Mo Shiyu. Cang viciously sucked in the Wolf King's head, and with a casual step, he crushed it to death!
The king had descended from the heavens, incredibly cool and flashy, with a wicked smile!
The people inside the restaurant were stunned for a moment, then erupted into ecstatic joy. Their eyes lit up with brilliance, filled with worship as they gazed at Xia Yuan!
"A Spirit Tamer is here!"
"Wait... I've seen him on the news. He's an SSR!"
"We're saved!"
"That big brother is so handsome!!!"
"Hahaha, bros, I'm alive again! Let me snap a few cool pics of the SSR for you!"
"..."
Seeing their leader stomped to death, the giant wolves behind became enraged and launched a sneak attack on Xia Yuan's back.
Xia Yuan remained unmoved, a smile playing on his lips.
The next second, an even larger white figure descended from the sky, diving down with wings spread like sharp blades, slicing all the remaining giant wolf monsters into pieces!
The Platinum Dragon King's eyes were sharp and imposing, radiating an aura of dominance. Its platinum-gold dragon scales shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight, eliciting another round of cheers from the people inside.
However, this majestic demeanor didn't last long.
It soon took quick, hurried little steps over to Xia Yuan's side, respectfully lowering its head to ask:
"Big Bro... what... do we do?"
"Should we rescue people first?"
"I can grow bigger and carry them all out."
A question mark popped up over Xia Yuan's head.
Big Bro?!
Since when had he become this guy's Big Bro?
But now wasn't the time to dwell on that.
Xia Yuan pulled his sunglasses down, his ice-blue pupils scanning the surroundings, taking in the entire situation. "No need. There are too many injured and trapped people. Rescuing them one by one is too inefficient."
He turned to face the dungeon portal right in front of him and smiled.
"Isn't the content of our assessment to speed-run the dungeon? We just need to clear it at the fastest speed possible!"
"Time is tight. It's decided. Follow me!"
Xia Yuan charged straight into the dungeon portal.
Seeing their savior suddenly abandon them again, the mood inside the Kendy's plummeted. The children even started crying once more.
As it rushed into the portal, the Platinum Dragon King turned its head and gently comforted them:
"Everyone, don't cry! We'll be quick!"
"It'll just take a moment!"
A dragon speaking human words, offering such gentle comfort, caught them completely off guard:
"The dragon can talk?"
"So amazing...!"
"It's so kind..."
Not long after Xia Yuan and the Platinum Dragon King's group entered the dungeon.
A City Defense Spirit Tamer Commander arrived with many Contracted Spirits and began rescue operations for the people trapped inside.
"What?"
"You're saying someone entered the dungeon portal?"
"But the Raid Team dispatched by the Alliance is still on the way?!"
The City Defense Commander was baffled.
The difficulty of a Four-Star Dungeon was no joke. Even top university Spirit Tamers wouldn't dare enter lightly!
"They must have a death wish!"
"Daring to charge into a riotous Four-Star Dungeon? These are much harder to clear than the fixed dungeons at school!"
