Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 1049, Then Let’s Battle!

Translator: Silavin

Facing Lu Fan’s threat, the Purgatory Overlord showed no excessive fear, seemingly quite confident in her own strength.

“Is that so?” She slowly rose, walking barefoot down from the stone bed. “You and I are quite alike. I’m equally interested in your Ancient God Power. The Ancient God Power produced by a single Ancient God is ultimately limited and may not be enough for my use. But if I add you to the mix, that would allow me to expend Ancient God Power freely without being as cautious as before.”

“The Ancient God Power from two Ancient Gods should be enough for me to battle true Ancient Gods, shouldn’t it? Oh, how truly fortunate I am. The second Ancient God I encountered isn’t some highly awakened Ancient God, but rather you, a New God. If you were an Ancient God with a high degree of awakening, I’d truly have to flee as far away as possible.”

“But…” She paused meaningfully. “You’re simply delivering an opportunity straight to me. I genuinely wanted to cooperate with you not because I fear you, but merely because I felt that battling you would waste too much of my Ancient God Power and wouldn’t be worthwhile. Since you refuse to drink the toast, then face the consequence for it. Get ready.”

Having said this, she reached out to grasp her dress.

However, she suddenly froze, as if sensing something. She immediately hurried back to the stone bed, her face filled with greedy desire as she looked at the Ancient God before suddenly taking a deep breath.

Lu Fan could sense a stream of pure Ancient God Power floating out from the Ancient God’s mouth and nose, completely devoured by the Purgatory Overlord.

The Ancient God let out agonised groans, his body struggling for a while as his skin and muscles withered even further.

The Purgatory Overlord had perfect control over him. Just as the Ancient God was about to die from being completely drained of Ancient God Power, she hastily stopped, leaving him with just enough Ancient God Power to preserve his life, preventing him from dying and hibernating to resurrect somewhere else, unknown to all.

After absorbing all the Ancient God Power the Ancient God had just generated, the Purgatory Overlord’s face showed both satisfaction and regret as she exhaled deeply. “Ah, once again, only this little bit of Ancient God Power was produced. Seems like a single Ancient God truly cannot satisfy me. This sensation of absorbing Ancient God Power is simply too intoxicating.”

“Fortunately,” she said, looking toward Lu Fan, her expression turning maniacally ecstatic, “very soon, I’ll have a second feast to enjoy.”

With that, she grasped her dress and tore it violently.

Instantly, her dress transformed into flames that shot skyward, obscuring her figure.

The flames vanished in a flash, quickly disappearing.

However, after the flames, a colossal creature appeared, replacing the Purgatory Overlord.

This colossal creature was precisely the red giant snake that had appeared earlier.

Without doubt, this was the Purgatory Overlord’s True Body.

After reverting to her True Body, the Purgatory Overlord’s Attributes increase substantially, allowing her to unleash even greater Combat Power.

Clearly, the Purgatory Overlord was sharp. Though she claimed not to fear Lu Fan and boasted of capturing him to turn him into sustenance for draining Ancient God Power, seeming extremely confident in her own strength. Yet she acted carefully and cautiously, showing no careless arrogance. From the very start, she engaged Lu Fan in her strongest Form.

Lu Fan thought to himself. [Well, an entity capable of subduing an Ancient God must indeed be different from ordinary Bosses. Since you showed no signs of careless arrogance, then I shouldn’t underestimate you either. Lest I suffer for it.]

“Senior Sister, hide in my Abyssal Space for now. I’ll let you out again later.” After speaking to Ye Wuxian, Lu Fan patted her shoulder and immediately opened his Abyssal Space, placing her inside.

Ye Wuxian had originally planned to use her Level 100 Divine Skill to help Lu Fan deal some Damage, but before she could react to what was happening, Lu Fan had already sent her directly into the Abyssal Space, essentially ensuring her safety from any threats.

Meanwhile, after transforming into her True Form, the Purgatory Overlord did not immediately attack Lu Fan. Instead, she opened her maw to swallow the Ancient God on the stone bed, presumably to prevent any residual aftershocks of her Skills from harming the Ancient God during her exchange with Lu Fan.

If she accidentally killed this Ancient God, the Purgatory Overlord would lose her long-term meal ticket.

After both sides had secured their respective partners, the battle soon commenced.

Lu Fan showed no courtesy, directly transforming into his Golden Dragon King Form to ensure his Defence would not leave him vulnerable to being instantly killed.

Facing such an enemy, he had to treat her with utmost caution.

Thus, one Golden Dragon King and one crimson giant snake were facing each other in battle. The atmosphere was incredibly tense as neither dared to act rashly.

On Lu Fan’s side, he ultimately held the numerical advantage.

Suddenly, a red gleam appeared without warning, slashing into the Purgatory Overlord’s body.

Flames instantly erupted across the Purgatory Overlord. She cried out in anguish as her massive body toppled to the ground.

The one who struck was naturally Ye Sha, who had been lurking in the shadows from the very beginning.

From the moment Ye Sha was summoned, he had flown in Concealment in mid-air, waiting for the opportune moment.

Though the Purgatory Overlord had been wary of all the other Pet Dragons, she had not anticipated that a dangerous Dragon had been lurking in the shadows all along, maintaining Concealment right beside her, suddenly appearing at this moment to deliver a surprise attack.

However, the Purgatory Overlord lived up to her reputation as a Divine Being, with Ancient God Power protecting her body.

Ye Sha’s Attack Power was strong, but it did not sever her directly. It merely left a wound on her body.

Seeing this, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. He could discern that in the instant Ye Sha attacked, the Purgatory Overlord had actually reacted, condensing a flame shield around herself.

The burst of flames that had erupted was precisely from Ye Sha’s attack, shattering the flame shield.

Though this flame shield had appeared quite hastily, with both its Durability and coverage being rather limited, it had nonetheless helped the Purgatory Overlord negate most of the Damage.

Otherwise, Ye Sha’s strike should have inflicted far more grievous injuries.

This also demonstrated from another angle that while she had indeed been completely unaware of Ye Sha’s presence, her reaction speed was genuinely impressive. She was able to respond instantaneously and employ the most efficient, effective method to resist Lu Fan’s attack.

This strike enraged the Purgatory Overlord.

Her massive body twisted and sprang back up from the ground, her furious roar rolling forth like thunderous waves.

“You dare ambush me!?”

Lu Fan chuckled. “What’s wrong with ambushes or sneak attacks? In a life-or-death battle, should I reveal all my trump cards to you before we start?”
