Corin’s bluish spear twirled in the air as he blocked a gigantic skeletal Hydra. Water laws shaped into ice-bound the bones, and then he attacked with laws of lightning, wind, and fire simultaneously. It was a simple method, but the combination was explosive.
The zombie Hydra was thrown back, but its bones were as hard as divine steel, and Corin couldn’t defeat it alone. As soon as it backed off, a dozen flying swords cut through the air, advancing straight ahead.
**CRACK!**
The bones cracked upon impact with the swords, and then a blade sliced through space, causing the bones to explode in all directions. The mental power of Calirer’s flying swords combined with Kaiyka’s sword strike was an unstoppable offensive combination.
There was a moment’s respite for Corin, who continued to fend off other beasts, but the solidity of the group was evident.
On the other side, Zaimo lacked Corin’s defensive power and capabilities. Therefore, this other group needed many people working together. Quirio, despite specializing in another area, acted as support, focusing all his power on the behemoth lineage. He used earth laws to assist the dwarf in blocking and defending the group.
If a powerful attack threatened to break their defenses, a shadow would appear and neutralize part of the blow. Rehvka could only attack at the exact moment and retreat; if she were surrounded or advanced, she would be in trouble.
**BANG!**
Every defensive move of the shield was accompanied by a sharp and explosive sound of high-caliber shots. Thea fired with her powerful weapon, driving away the zombies. Then it was the Feys’ turn to act.
Kisala held her bow with a serious look, using all the power of her internal venom rune; maximally concentrated, this poison had an abnormal corrosive capacity. Although it wasn’t enough to destroy the bones, it weakened specific strategic points of her targets with each arrow, then...
**CRACK!**
Next, a black axe resembling a tomahawk cut through the air, hitting exactly at the weak point. It was Ambry who threw it, and she had thousands of these extremely heavy axes, crafted by the whale. Her role was to hurl them with all her strength at the right moment, in perfect sync with Kisala; surprisingly, the two seemed to understand each other perfectly well. Together, they could destroy those bones.
But using the Barbarian Fey lineage and the venom rune to the fullest was taxing, and they needed a break between throws and attacks. It was at this moment that Idris attacked with his technique.
Enhanced by Alm, the power of his clan’s technique had become unbelievable, both for him and the other two Feys.
He possessed a piercing ability that combined power and speed, a middle ground between the two. His technique used Yin and was like a blood arrow... the blood used was his own. Thanks to his lineage focused on this, he could replenish it in real time at an abnormal speed, although there was a clear limit his body could endure. In return, his power was strange, frightening, and exceptional.
Of course, he could steal others’ blood, but in this battle, the enemies no longer had blood. Alone, using his technique, he could finish off those bones. Thus, the three Feys took turns maintaining defense and destroying enemies.
The sound and intensity of this battle made the earth tremble over a large area. Both sides managed to hold on and distract the hundreds of draconian zombies, but they were using all their capabilities, and it wouldn’t last long. Before their strength was completely exhausted, the beasts guarding the place would advance; in fact, the commotion had already been felt, and they were running towards the location quickly.
The whale and Ruri faced a green world, aware that they had at most five minutes. Ruri focused on using her mental power, along with the Yin from Rehvka’s array, to conceal the two from the zombies. Ahead of them, an infinite green power created a natural barrier that prevented physical passage.
But at this moment, Alm and Bruno smirked maliciously in confirmation. ’It’s definitely a Green Reverse Scale, excellent,’ Bruno exclaimed excitedly in his mind.
This was the first Reverse Scale of a Dragon, occurring when it transcended mortal realms and reached divine status. It shouldn’t have the power to defend itself in this way naturally; this barrier was created using the lineage and lives of all who attempted to dominate it.
The whale spoke dryly, "Open," and a black saber appeared in its hand.
**BOOM!!!**
The mighty barrier shattered like glass. Without wasting time, the whale and Ruri stepped forward.
There, buried in the ground, they saw something pulsating like a heart in a dark green hue, as if it were the only link between heaven and earth. It was a scale about a meter long, resembling a slightly triangular divine shield.
Just looking at it, Ruri felt the blood in her body circulate rapidly, and a heat ran across her skin as if it were burning... it wasn’t heat, Qi, Laws, or anything... it was just the overwhelming pressure emanating from the will of a Primordial Dragon.
To subdue a reverse scale, brute force was an impossibility. It required using one’s own will to bring it under control, or it would never surrender.
If an unparalleled cultivator tried to rely solely on their powerful cultivation base to forcefully dominate it, the scale would automatically explode. Although it was just a scale, a dragon’s dignity would not allow anyone to subdue it by brute force. A dragon scale contained its pride and would not easily submit; it would prefer to cease existing than to become submissive.
The whale took a step forward. At that moment, the scale trembled, and an infinite pressure descended upon him, but... the whale completely ignored it, and a villainous grin spread across its face.
**RUMBLE!!!**
At that moment, the will contained within the scale realized who it was dealing with and immediately released all its power. It wasn’t something trivial; it was pure power from the lineage of a dragon, not just any dragon, but a Primordial one.
Outside, on the surface. In a vast area near the secret location, still far away, the beasts ran furiously after realizing that the previous attack had been just a distraction. They sensed the battle underground and were two minutes away from reaching the location when...
All beasts from all directions stopped and fell to the ground. Wyverns and Hydras fell from the skies with a thunderous crash. All the gigantic bodies felt a deep impact on their souls and lineages; they lost all strength, and their bodies trembled. It was a complete lineage suppression. It was as if a true dragon had roared furiously, and these races could only kneel, terrified.
It took only a few seconds for the initial impact to pass. Within a minute, the pressure subsided, and the beasts managed to get up, still trembling. However, an abnormal fear gripped them.
The path to the once nearby place now seemed distant to these frightened beasts; the group gained a few precious minutes. But it was certain that they would soon calm down, and in just over five minutes, they would run again.
Back underground. The whale took steps forward and stood inches from the green scale, its eyes gleaming excitedly as it focused on mastering it.
One minute...
Two minutes...
’You little bastard,’ Bruno mentally spat, tense.

Three minutes...
’Fuck! This stubborn bitch!’ Alm roared furiously.
Four minutes...
**Crack...**
The scale cracked. If he made any move beyond this, it would definitely explode, and everything would be lost.
Bruno swallowed hard and said in shock, ’Son of a bitch... we failed... we can’t subdue it at all; its will doesn’t accept us, we’re completely incompatible...’
