I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1373 Similar Kind Chapter 1371: Chapter 1373 Similar Kind For the Dragon Clan, there is a certain obsessive desire to possess all that sparkles; perhaps this is an affliction common to their kind. Upon seeing the crystal on the giant rock in the lake shimmering with blue light, Kamata instantly focused all his attention on it, completely oblivious to the numerous terrifying monsters hidden within this subterranean lake.

Song Jian merely glanced at the crystal atop the lake’s rock, then turned all his focus to the lurking monsters within the lake.

The monsters did not bother to conceal their presence, releasing their frightening aura unabashedly. Such a terrifying pressure made Song Jian, standing at a distance, feel a chill of fear coursing through his bones!

“There are at least three Legendary Realm bosses…” Song Jian gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

“Song Jian, Song Jian, I want that!” Seeing Song Jian’s restless demeanor, with his attention seemingly fixed on the lake, Kamata suddenly became unhappy, tugging at his sleeve and repeating her demand.

“Young lady, didn’t you see there are so many terrifying monsters guarding that fragment in the lake!” Song Jian said, somewhat helplessly.

With his abilities, not to mention attempting to snatch it, even getting slightly closer would likely provoke an attack from these monsters, who seemed to be guarding the meteorite fragment together.

“Hmph, these ugly freaks think they can compete with me for a treasure?” Kamata snorted arrogantly, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.

In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, they are the supreme predators and all other creatures are merely their prey. This pride stems from their bloodline and has nothing to do with actual power!

Song Jian was suddenly at a loss for words, aware that, despite having ingested the serum, Kamata was still at the peak of the Dominion tier and hadn’t taken that crucial step forward.

For the Dragon Clan to reach the Legendary Realm, they would need at least a thousand years. The serum, having optimized Kamata’s bloodline genetics, greatly shortened this time. At this point, Kamata was like having one foot on the threshold of legend. Perhaps with just one epiphany, or other fortunate encounters, she could enter the Legendary Realm thousands of years ahead of other dragons her age.

But, nonetheless, Kamata did not have the power of a Legendary Realm yet. Even though she might be able to contend with one or two early Legendary Realm beasts from the lake, she could not face an attack from three such bosses at once. What’s more, the lake housed not only three Legendary Realm bosses but also over a dozen Dominion Peak-tier bosses. With such formidable power, not just Kamata, but even the Dragon Priests from the Dragon God Hall would find this collection of foes daunting if they came here.

“Kamata, why don’t you lure them all out, and I’ll take the fragment?” Song Jian ventured to ask.

“If you get that fragment, can you give it to me?” Kamata’s dark gold vertical pupils flickered, naively gazing at Song Jian.

“That, that should be okay?” Song Jian said wiping sweat from his brow. He knew that if it indeed were a fragment of a meteorite, then it was an objective item that had to be turned in later. However, before turning it in, he could let Kamata play with it for a while; once they left the Assessment World and the meteorite fragment disappeared, it would no longer be his concern.

Song Jian watched Kamata’s face light up with joy and immediately felt a twinge of guilt, as if he had deceived a little girl.

Kamata took steps towards the lake, while Song Jian used the Abyss Concealment Skill, hiding nearby, quietly waiting for Kamata to draw all the monsters out of the lake.

Approaching within thirty meters of the lake, a roaring sound emerged from its waters as a massive head the size of a house slowly emerged. This boss, with its lengthy neck, bore a resemblance to the legendary plesiosaur detailed in ancient tales.

This creature was one of the three Legendary Realm bosses that Song Jian had sensed. Upon detecting Kamata’s presence, it issued a threatening roar, and other bosses also quickly became aware of the steadily approaching Kamata, bellowing angrily in her direction. Some of the more ferocious beasts even burst forth from the lake and lunged toward Kamata.

Kamata snorted coldly, and her vertical dark gold pupils radiated a dazzling light. The pride of the Dragon Clan made her feel both anger and humiliation in the face of these attacks from strange beasts. Since when did these common creatures dare to bare their teeth and claws before the noble Dragon Clan!

Walking forward two more steps, Kamata’s terrifying figure of a black dragon appeared before all the monsters. Now over ten meters tall and seventeen to eighteen meters in length, her scales, once black as ink, now outlined with a faint golden glow, lent the menacing black dragon an aura of sacredness.

Sensing the unmasked aura of peak dominance exuding from the black dragon Kamata, the bosses that were initially pouncing towards her suddenly halted, staring at her in confusion and seeming to hesitate.

However, Kamata let out a crisp dragon’s cry and took the initiative to attack these bosses. Dragon Breath spurted out towards them, followed by her powerful body slamming into them like a train.

For the creatures that dared to claw at a dragon, the Dragon Clan’s response was always the same–to utterly destroy them!

Even faced with three bosses of equal peak dominance, Kamata showed no fear and clashed with them in battle. Against Kamata in her dragon form, these bosses seemed somewhat timid, letting out piteous whines akin to pleas for mercy after enduring a barrage of her attacks.

But Kamata remained ruthless, tearing into them with the apparent intent to shred them to pieces. Her vicious demeanor seemed to displease the three Legendary Realm bosses.

Aside from the boss akin to a plesiosaur, the other two Legendary Realm bosses slowly surfaced from the lake. One was a giant serpent with a single horn on its head, and the other was a massive cyan-black lizard. Their sizes dwarfed the average creature of their kind by dozens of times, and together, they occupied nearly half of the lake’s area.

The three Legendary Realm bosses roared at the black dragon Kamata, but to Song Jian’s surprise, upon seeing Kamata reveal her dragon form, they held back from launching an attack and harbored no hint of killing intent. Their discontent now seemed to stem from Kamata’s intention to kill the monsters that had attacked her.

After crushing one monster’s skull, shattering another’s throat, and tossing the scarred body of the last beast into the lake, Kamata let out a proud roar over the waters, as if she was making a declaration to all the creatures there.

Song Jian had assumed that Kamata’s offensive would enrage the lake’s monsters. However, after she took down three creatures and even began taunting the others, the three Legendary Realm bosses that should have been provoked instead slowly retreated back into the lake. The rest of the monsters kept their distance, looking at the black dragon Kamata with eyes filled with fear.

The plesiosaur-like boss called out to Kamata several times, seemingly trying to convey some message before slowly sinking to the lake’s bottom.

Kamata stood at the edge of the lake, glancing at the bosses in the water with a hint of confusion before turning to look toward Song Jian’s position. For a moment, she seemed unsure what to do next!

“So they think of Kamata as one of their own?” Song Jian felt a slight twinge of annoyance, looking at the meteorite fragments on the central rock of the lake and feeling somewhat speechless.
