Chapter 1568
Chapter 1568: apex of the Fantasy Dragon / The End – Illusory Dragon
This is Ye Qiyan’s [Home Turf], his own [Domain].
Mousi was well aware of all this, yet it still charged in without hesitation.
The former apex of the fantasy dragon possessed its own pride.
It knew all too well what a despicable fellow it was.
An old thing that had lived for so many years, facing a human who had entered the wilderness for less than two years.
How truly despicable…
But it wouldn’t do.
It would not hold back. No matter how unwilling or reluctant it felt, it still had to obey the Hive Mother’s hive consciousness and strike with all its might to drag Ye Qiyan back to the Predatory Empire!
Finally, when Mousi reached the base of that tall tower, it leaped up and soared toward the sky!
Its aura continuously climbed, and its figure gradually transformed from a human appearance into a half-human, half-insect creature!
“Roar!”
Mousi ascended the tower! It saw the human standing atop it!
“Ye Qiyan!!!”
It roared! It rushed over without the slightest hesitation!
Illusion!
This was the power Mousi possessed when it was still a [Fantasy Dragon].
Having been re-incubated as an insectoid, the Hive Mother had not stripped away these powers.
This power, which could greatly affect others’ Mental Power, would definitely inflict severe mental trauma upon a first encounter if faced by other decently skilled Train Captains.
Not to mention someone with stats as low as Ye Qiyan’s.
Mousi desperately pleaded for Ye Qiyan to endure its illusion, yet under the influence of the hive consciousness, it still released it at 100% full strength!
Enter Illusion!
Ineffective!
Whether it was Ye Qiyan or his companions.
Facing the illusion interference even from an expert like Mousi, not a single one of them was affected in the slightest.
Draw the sword, slash!
Even though the Sword of Engraved Tears and Mousi’s dragon claws were far apart, the collision between them had already arrived!
So heavy.
Ye Qiyan was certain that the strength Mousi displayed was complete.
It was not the weakened Dark Overlord, not Colorless who only used its will, nor Heinz devoured by [The End].
He was a complete, true, and powerful apex! He was the strongest enemy Ye Qiyan had encountered so far!
“As expected, I still have a long way to go.”
The web of Ye Qiyan’s thumb was shaken until it bled. His Stamina, which had exceeded ten thousand points after synchronizing with Augustine upon casting [Supreme and Unsurpassed] on himself, plummeted by more than half upon their very first contact.
Not enough! Far from enough!
A mere upper limit of over ten thousand Stamina points, and it wasn’t even the true upper limit, just a temporary boost!
He needed power, a continuous stream of power!
Then!
At the moment Mousi broke through his first sword strike!
High above the heavens, an azure meteor plummeted from the sky.
Holding the Spear of Void Erosion in one hand and grasping the Eternal Cutter in the other, Eve rushed down under Lisette’s acceleration to buy time for Ye Qiyan.
Ye Qiyan indeed intended to fight a one-on-one battle with Mousi.
But his one…
Of course, could not do without the partners on the Train.
This was not despicable, ever since Ye Qiyan chose to create companion after companion that belonged solely to him.
Their figures would never be absent from his battles.
If anyone thought him despicable, it was like a Summoner—would a Summoner not be allowed to use summoned beasts during battle?
Mousi was not that kind of fool; it even envied Ye Qiyan’s choice all the more.
“You’ve raised your pets very well!”
Temporarily obstructed by Eve, at a time when all illusions could not take effect, Mousi thrust its bone spear into the ground.
Eve’s speed was instantly suppressed to an extremely sluggish degree?
The bone spear thrust forward, and just as it was about to hit Eve, a shield descended from the sky, intercepting the attack.
At the same time, Eve’s figure vanished from the spot, returning to Ye Qiyan’s side.
“Patrol, Villain, Augustine!”
Three mechas descended from the sky!
Augustine possessed the highest stats among the companions, and it unhesitatingly began to draw power from the [Abyss] to further strengthen itself.
Wielding the Flame Spear, it coordinated with Patrol to charge at Mousi.
“Well come!”
Mousi did not dodge or parry. With a stomp of its foot, the earth shattered!
A dragon’s roar actually halted Augustine mid-air!
Several giant fantasy dragon totems materialized out of thin air, acting like stone fists to intercept Patrol’s attack as well.
But it underestimated Villain.
[Villain · Berserk Mode!]
All the shields flew up, transforming into automatic defensive weapons beside it.
The white armor, which could be called beautiful, shattered completely, revealing the ferocious mechanical body beneath it!
“Roar!”
Villain roared as it charged toward Mousi.
Mousi threw a punch, intending to smash Villain directly, but was stopped by a pitch-black heavenly tribulation from the sky.
“Screech!”
Goshawk cried out.
Neferti and Frost White Bear also joined the battle.
“These pets of yours are all quite good!”
Mousi was ecstatic. Without defending, after repelling Patrol with a punch and dodging Villain’s impact, it flicked its insectoid dragon tail, and a pink-purple shockwave directly cleared everything around it.
It was only delayed for less than twenty seconds.
However, it was enough.
Because Ye Qiyan’s preparation was already complete.
“You?”
[Ghostly Trick Blade × Champion Stance × Survivor]
Ye Qiyan’s aura dispersed crazily.
The power of [Redemption] instantly repaired all the injuries of his companions.
“What… is this?”
Saying this, Mousi had already rushed in front of Ye Qiyan.
“Is your power endless, just like the Hive Mother’s? Hahahahaha!”
Its spearhead thrust toward Ye Qiyan’s heart.
This strike was enough to pierce through the stars.
This strike hit the target solidly.
However…
“They are not pets; they are my partners. Also, I’ve caught you.”
[Blasphemy Card · V · Judge]
Chains appeared, binding Mousi tightly!
Above the Ancient Battlefield.
[Crimson Soul Wolf King] [Formless Hero] [Crimson Lotus Knight] [Nine Days · Blazing Flame Emperor]
Four phantom figures instantly solidified!
And launched an attack together!
“Roar!”
Mousi roared once more, but this time, its roar failed to stop the attacks brought by these four figures from the Ancient Battlefield.
A claw, a sword, a spear, a wave of flames.
Fourfold attacks landed on its body, but for Mousi, it didn’t care about its injuries at all. Upon discovering that Ye Qiyan hadn’t died from that attack, it let go of the long spear and threw a punch instead.
The Wandering Star Holy Mark was pierced by this punch.
However, before this punch truly arrived, a little black cat resembling a dumpling opened its mouth.
“Ah, nom.”
[Hollow Point]
Its fist vanished.
As if it had never been born.
And beneath its feet, the original ground turned into soft slime.
A [Predatory Mouth] transformed and bit directly from underneath.
[Gluttony · Predator’s Mouth]
Did they win? Just like that?
Lisette’s zither music was still melodious, the movement of Rebellion had not yet reached its climax, and the pipe organ of The End was still roaring!
Ye Qiyan pulled the long spear out of his body, looked at Mousi, who seemed to have lost its life, and without hesitation raised the [Hammer of Judgment] toward a direction and smashed it down.
“The crime: Deception.”
“Unforgivable!”
“Absolute! Justice! Judgment!!”
The hammer fell!
The Mousi in front of Ye Qiyan vanished! Yet another Mousi appeared right there.
It crossed its hands, but was heavily smashed through into the ground by this judgment strike. Its figure vanished once more, only to reappear behind Ye Qiyan.
[apex of the Fantasy Dragon]
If its illusion was ineffective against Ye Qiyan and his companions, then it only needed to reverse the method and aim the illusion at itself.
The one devoured by Gluttony and Xiao Ya was the real Mousi.
The one struck down by that hammer just now was also the real Mousi.
But reality was also an illusion.
Dong! Dong!! Dong!!!
Three chime bells!
[The End · Illusory Dragon]
“Ye Qiyan, find me, defeat me, kill me!”
Everything he said was true, everything he spoke was a desire.
Whatever he did, he did with all his might.
“What I have said, I never go back on.”
[Circle of Evil] and [Ring of Calamity] rotated frantically!
The power of the Card Series began to manifest at this moment!
[Demon Card: Bewitchment] × [Demon Card: Rebellion]
“Tell me, where are you?”
Another Mousi appeared.
The illusion was broken by a single word from Ye Qiyan.
“I am right here, but the next moment, where will I be?”
It vanished, only to reappear in another place.
[The End · Illusory Dragon]
It was bringing an end to Ye Qiyan’s Wandering Hell!
Everything was becoming frail and fragile, everything was turning illusory!
However…
[Blasphemy Card · VII · The Anchor]
[Drop Anchor!]
As the Anchor Point fell! The previously illusory space was instantly stabilized.
Even if other things were still illusory, this space alone would never vanish!
As for his companions?
Ye Qiyan raised his hand.
[Blasphemy Card · XIV · Dominator]
“You have terrible luck; your The End is useless against me.”
[Arbitrary!] [Domination!] [Exclusive!]
