LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 377: Atlan’s clones
With no one else left to defend them, Atlan directed the White Beauty humanoid to put herself in between the two, using her body to defend against the dragon.
The White Beauty didn't hesitate for a single second before it rushed towards the dragon. Then, before it could reach Ninth and the others, the White Beauty put herself inside the Dragon's maws, letting it swallow her instead.
The dragon, upon having its maws full with the humanoid White Beauty, started to cough as if it had swallowed a fly accidentally.
But no matter how much the Dragon Queen clone coughed, it could not get rid of the pesky fly in its mouth. It had no choice but to swallow the whole thing.
That was part of the plan. Atlan, using his complete control of the White Beauty, started to overwhelm her with power, turning her insides into a mix of energy and acid from the Dragon's stomach.
This was not a good combination—at least, for the Dragon. The White Beauty inside the Dragon's stomach started to vibrate and convulse, as the skin on her body started to fray and pop, like a string being stretched far too long.
Slowly, the Dragon felt its stomach rumble. It had eaten something bad.
And before the Dragon could even do anything about it, the White Beauty couldn't hold on to her figure anymore and turned into pure energy, creating an enormous explosion inside the Dragon's stomach.
This was an explosion equal to all the energy stored inside a Specialist-level Savior. The strength of the aftereffects was enough to tear through the Dragon's stomach lining and continue to wreak havoc inside its body.
It was unfortunate for the Dragon that its scales were far too strong and durable. The explosion wasn't able to pierce outside its body, meaning all of the explosion was contained inside its body.
This caused further damage to the Dragon's insides, turning everything into a mushy mess of organs and chitinous bones.
The dragon, feeling weakness in its body, fell to the ground with a large thud. The unfortunate trees and nature on the ground were crushed under its enormous weight, creating a dragon-shaped indent on the soil below.
With the help of his puppets, he was able to subdue the Dragon clones from killing injured Ninth and her team. They all sighed a breath of relief once they saw the light in the dragon's eyes start to dim, signaling its death.
But they knew that this wasn't the end of their troubles. Where there's death, there was life.
Now that they killed another dragon clone, three more would pop up in its place.
GRAOOO!
Out in the distance, another three dragon clones came out of the horizon and showed their fierce roar to the overwhelmed humans.
They already had trouble facing the clones, but now, three more had come and rushed towards them at fast speeds.
The worst thing was that they didn't have anyone else to protect Ninth and the others. Atlan and his two clones: the Prince and the Beast, were busy keeping the original Dragon Queen Malificient at bay. They already had their hands full with her, they couldn't go and assist the others because it would lead the Dragon Queen to make a full recovery and cause further havoc in the battlefield.
'HAHAHAHA! This is your end, humans. Don't think I haven't noticed the importance of that puppet.'
The Dragon Queen Malificient knew about the significance of the White Beauty on this battlefield. After all, she was the one who kept the humanoid puppets in Atlan's hands a powerhouse capable of producing the strength of a Specialist-level Savior.
Thanks to her book of contracts, she was able to create a contract with the three good fairies, lending her strength to the puppets and creating more power inside their bodies.
But now that the White Beauty was gone, there was no more book of contracts. And without that contract, the puppets returned to their original strength at the Intern level.
Although that could be considered quite strong, it was wholly inadequate to survive against the Dragon Queen Malificient, much less fight her.
The Dragon Queen was already on the brink of winning the tides of the battle before the White Beauty died, but now that she was fully gone, the Dragon Queen had a complete advantage on this battlefield.
And now that three more dragon clones emerged, the Queen knew that she was about to win against the humans.
However, something was bugging her.
Even though she was about to demolish the humans, the strange human boy didn't show any signs of trouble. It was as if he wasn't worried about her in the slightest.
'Stop pretending, human. This is my win.'
But of course, Atlan didn't think that was true. After all, by having his White Beauty destroyed, Atlan would gain a new slot as a puppet.
Atlan closed his eyes and pictured the new puppet in his mind. The process this time was quite easy since he was intimately familiar with this figure. The puppet he created this time was completely faithful to the original and didn't have any deviations.
The giant needle and yarn ball appeared in the air and started to knit together another puppet in the middle of the battlefield.
Its speed in executing this task was far faster than anything it had ever created.
Slowly, the figure of another human appeared in their midst.
Once the needle finished knitting the final knot, the figure suddenly glowed with a blinding light before the figure turned into a completely humanoid figure.
It had black hair, striking eyes, and a tall figure.
Ninth and the others looked up at the puppet and immediately recognized the puppet. After all, the original was standing right beside it!

Atlan created a puppet version of himself!
Because he was borrowing from his understanding of himself, he was able to completely duplicate his every human quality onto the puppets.
Then, the original Atlan summoned a book of contracts in his hands. With a simple look at the three good fairies, another contract appeared in between its pages, allowing all of his puppets to have the power of a Specialist-level Savior.
