Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

Golden Shield.

Thor's Hammer.

With these two Divine Artifacts, we could give it a try. If we can't defeat him, we can always use the Teleportation Scroll to leave this place.

"Golden Giant Dragon, do you dare to let your sister-in-law use the Divine Artifact in your hand?"

"That Black Dragon brother... I don't need that good-for-nothing Austin to give me a Divine Artifact, actually... I also have one... just a bit too embarassed to show it..."

"???"

Evil Dragon Lance felt like cursing. Among the four Giant Dragons present, three were wielding Divine Artifacts....

He was just a slightly stronger Black Dragon, was it necessary to confront him with such an array of power?

When did Divine Artifacts become so worthless?

It's just like with the Giant Dragons.

When they are absent... not a single one can be found in the Human World.

When they appear... they come one after another.

In the past three thousand years or so, Divine Artifacts had appeared much less frequently than Giant Dragons...

But today... to see three of them at once...

It was fortunate that the ones chasing and blocking him today were of the same Giant Dragon kin. If it had been heroes... he would have been either dead or gravely injured...

Three Divine Artifacts simultaneously targeting him, the Black Dragon...

To leave this unchanged, he had no choice but to flee directly.

"Sister-in-law, what is your Divine Artifact?"

"Bow of Light, Arrow of Time."

Austin's wife took out her Divine Artifact, a platinum-colored bow and a black-gold arrow...

Because the Black Dragon addressed her as sister-in-law, Austin's wife did not immediately draw her bow and set an arrow... to lock onto the Black Dragon.

Evil Dragon Lance was speechless; he misspoke. With such a force, not to mention going to the western continent to beat up the Demon King...

It wouldn't be a problem attacking a lower ranked Demon God.

How could the situation be weighed?

Time to slip away...

If a real fight were to break out, the one getting thrashed would definitely be him, the Black Dragon.

If the might of three Divine Artifacts were to be unleashed at the same time... the power would be immeasurable.

"Alright, alright, alright, three Divine Artifacts... Today I shall see whether it's I who will shatter the Artifacts, or the Artifacts that will grind me, the Black Dragon, to dust."

Dark red flames blazed upon Evil Dragon Lance's massive body, and the Void around him filled with a black-red mist, soon completely enveloping Evil Dragon Lance, leaving only a pair of crimson, cold vertical pupils visible.

Thunder Dragon Erinna and Golden Giant Dragon Austin instantly entered battle stance.

The wife of Golden Giant Dragon Austin drew her bow... but didn't yet set an arrow, for the Black Dragon had been quite polite, and shooting him with an arrow... seemed rather cruel.

Perhaps it was better to let Austin hammer the Black Dragon a few times with Thor's Hammer...

Time ticked by, second by second, and the Black Dragon engulfed in the black-red mist didn't move at all, only the pair of crimson vertical pupils were visible.

After about ten minutes of standoff, Thunder Dragon Erinna seemed to sense something. Without hesitation, she threw the Golden Shield she held in her Dragon Claw at those crimson vertical pupils.

The Golden Shield effortlessly pierced through those crimson vertical pupils, and the crimson fog that enveloped that part of the void was also blown away by a large swath by the Golden Shield.

There was no sign of the Black Dragon within the crimson fog anymore.

All that remained was a mass of black and red mist.

The Black Dragon had already vanished, no one knew where it had fled to.

Illusion Technique!

That damn Black Dragon had created such a grand spectacle, making it seem like he was prepared to fight to the death.

Instead, it was just a smokescreen, using an illusion to deceive their sight and obscure the senses of both them and the Divine Artifact's Artifact Spirit.

Then, while they were distracted... it fled....

"Where's the Black Dragon? Where did that Black Dragon go?"

"Do you need to ask? It fled."

"It fled?!!"

The Golden Giant Dragon Austin was dumbfounded. He had already prepared what to say during the interrogation of the Black Dragon, and now... this guy just puts on a big show... and runs away?

Wasn't his borrowing of Thor's Hammer all for nothing then?

Did his wife come here in vain?

"How did this bastard run away? Didn't he act all high and mighty when he was interrogating me before? How come he runs away the moment he sees us today?

You beast, he ran away, where am I supposed to find him to take revenge?!!!"

The Golden Giant Dragon Austin felt like the damn Black Dragon was about to give him an internal injury from frustration.

After a moment of stunned silence, Austin's wife, the Golden Giant Dragon, cracked a smile, a devious and extremely clever Black Dragon.

Facing three of their own kind wielding Divine Artifacts, retreating was the wisest choice.

The Thunder Dragon Erinna was also left incredulously amused by the shamelessness of the Black Dragon.

"If it has fled, let it be... If it really decided to fight us head-on, with its speed and that abnormal defensive power... even if we hold Divine Artifacts... it's not certain that we could truly injure the guy, at most we'd just hurt him."

"???"

Filled with a sense of being internally injured by the Black Dragon, the Golden Giant Dragon Austin looked baffled at the Thunder Dragon: "What do you mean? Are you suggesting... that Pureblood Black Dragon, who has been wandering in the Human World, has become so powerful that he can rival a Holy Giant Dragon?"

The Thunder Dragon Erinna shook her head: "I don't know if he has become strong enough to rival a Holy Giant Dragon, but it's certain that the Black Dragon is definitely stronger than ordinary giant dragons.

His speed and the defensive power of his dragon body are abnormally potent. Even I, clad in War God Dragon Armor, couldn't break through his defenses. In combat, if he were to release his own limitations, his speed would exceed mine, even in War God Dragon Armor.

His strength also far surpasses mine when fully armed. Before you arrived here, that Black Dragon struck the Golden Shield with a Dragon Fist, causing a dent in the Golden Shield.

Afterward, I was provoked by his words... and used the Golden Shield as a door panel, smacking it down hard on the Black Dragon's head... and the Black Dragon's horn... almost pierced through the Golden Shield....

If he really decided to fight us desperately, to be honest... with the strength he has shown so far... he would have a chance to snatch the Golden Shield from my clutches... then use the Golden Shield... to counter and kill one of us..."

The Black Dragon had no intention of killing us; he seemed to be merely testing our strength, or maybe his own...

I always feel.... that Black Dragon himself isn't quite clear about his own strength... He probably doesn't even know how strong he really is..."

The Golden Giant Dragon Austin fell silent. Despite his reluctance to accept it, he trusted most of Thunder Dragon Erinna's judgments and speculations...

In fact, Thunder Dragon Erinna was no weaker than him, the Golden Giant Dragon...

There was one thing Thunder Dragon Erinna hadn't mentioned...

She wasn't sure if the strength the Black Dragon had shown was the full extent of his power...
