Giant Dragon Lord: Starting from Daily Intelligence

Chapter 540: Chapter 414: The Blazing Phoenix, the Oriole Behind

"Let it get a little closer."

Sun didn’t understand Raylo’s intentions, but out of trust for him, it forcibly suppressed its battlelust and folded its wings.

The Blue Flame Bat Dragon in the sky had clearly noticed Sun on the ground as well.

Greed overcame all else.

It was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already flying over the volcano.

Just as it was about to adjust its position and launch a probing attack against Sun on the ground...

Raylo’s cold, decisive voice rang out from the ground, echoing throughout the entire camp.

"Giant Legion!"

"Javelins!"

At his command,

Over a hundred Hill Giants, who were already prepared, let out a heaven-shaking roar in unison.

They drew massive Javelins from their backs.

They drew back, using their waists like bows, and took aim.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, possessing a stark beauty of power.

"Loose!"

The next second,

Over a hundred massive Javelins, like bolts from Siege Crossbow Cannons, shot skyward, ascending as a dense shadow of death accompanied by a sharp, air-tearing whistle.

That black rain of death, formed by the Flying Spears, instantly enveloped the sky where the Blue Flame Bat Dragon was.

The Blue Flame Bat Dragon, circling in the air, never expected that the creatures on the ground—which it saw as mere ants—could unleash such a terrifying attack.

By the time it sensed the danger and tried to evade, it was too late.

Its massive body had become the perfect target.

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

The sickening thuds of sharp blades sinking into flesh echoed continuously in the sky.

Dozens of Flying Spears accurately struck its enormous body.

Its hard blue scales, tough enough to withstand most attacks, still seemed fragile before these Flying Spears, which were imbued with the Giants’ terrifying Power.

The Flying Spears tore through its defenses with ease, plunging deep into its flesh.

HISSS!

The Blue Flame Bat Dragon let out a piercing, tragic shriek.

Its colossal body suddenly went rigid in mid-air.

The layer of ethereal blue Flame on its body flickered violently for a moment, then extinguished completely.

Life rapidly drained from its body.

Finally, its massive body lost all strength and plummeted from thousands of meters in the sky like a Meteorite, crashing heavily into the churning lava below.

It was utterly consumed by the scorching magma without so much as a splash.

A powerful Domain Level Magical Beast, strong enough to give any Lord a headache, was insta-killed by a single volley.

The whole process was clean and decisive.

Having dealt with that nuisance, Raylo turned his gaze back to the furiously erupting volcano.

The volcano’s eruption was now reaching its climax.

The entire world seemed to tremble in the volcano’s fury.

RUMBLE!

A deafening roar, louder than any before, came from the depths of the volcano.

An unprecedented and utterly violent fluctuation of Magic suddenly burst from the crater.

Raylo knew the Sun Crown Stone was about to emerge.

Sure enough, just as the thought crossed his mind,

An unimaginably thick pillar of brilliant golden magma shot skyward from the crater.

The golden magma pillar, like a sharp sword piercing the heavens, surged ten thousand meters into the air.

And at the very tip of that golden magma pillar, a millstone-sized stone, forged entirely of what looked like Gold and radiating a blinding light, was being ejected high into the sky along with the magma.

The Sun Crown Stone!

The moment it appeared, the entire world seemed to be illuminated by its light.

Even the sky-blotting volcanic ash seemed dim and lackluster under its glow.

ROAR!

On the ground, the moment Sun saw the Sun Crown Stone, it went completely berserk.

An irrepressible craving, originating from the depths of its bloodline, made it impossible for it to hold back any longer.

It let out a heaven-shaking dragon’s roar, its golden Dragon Wings snapping open as its massive body shot into the sky like an arrow loosed from a bow.

Its eyes saw nothing but the golden stone arcing splendidly across the sky.

’It has to have it!’

’At any cost!’

Sun transformed into a streak of golden light, weaving through the rain of fire and volcanic ash, heading straight for the Sun Crown Stone, which had just begun to fall from its zenith.

It opened its cavernous, bloody maw, filled with sharp dragon teeth, ready to swallow the Treasure that held a fatal attraction for it in one gulp.

However, just as its great mouth was about to touch the Sun Crown Stone...

Suddenly, a crimson shadow, so fast it was almost invisible to the naked eye, flashed without warning through the chaotic sky obscured by smoke and magma.

The shadow’s speed was a fraction faster than Sun’s.

It had started later but arrived first, snatching the Sun Crown Stone with its talons just before it fell into the dragon’s mouth.

SCREEE!

A clear and proud Phoenix cry resounded across the heavens.

After swallowing the Sun Crown Stone, the crimson figure finally revealed its true form.

It was a Phoenix of incomparable majesty, its entire body wreathed in raging Blazing Flame.

Its magnificent tail feathers, flowing like liquid flame, traced a brilliant arc across the sky, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.

Every one of its feathers seemed to be coalesced from the purest Flame, radiating a terrifying, heart-stopping heat capable of incinerating all things.

Domain Level Peak!

This suddenly-appeared Blazing Phoenix’s power had actually reached the very Peak of the Domain Level, just one step away from the legendary Catastrophe Level!

ROAR!

Its prize, snatched right out of its jaws.

Sun let out a roar filled with endless rage and indignation.

Its golden eyes instantly turned crimson.

A towering inferno of rage burned in its chest.

Without a second thought, it wheeled around and gave chase to the Blazing Phoenix that had stolen its Treasure.

The Blazing Phoenix, however, did not linger for a moment after snatching the Sun Crown Stone.

With a beat of its wings, its entire body transformed into a massive, crimson Fireball and shot off into the distance at an incredible speed.

The sky was dyed fiery red wherever it passed.

"Baofeng! After them!"

On the ground, Raylo’s reaction was also extremely fast.

The moment he saw the Blazing Phoenix appear, he knew things had gotten complicated.

He immediately mounted Baofeng, soared into the sky, and followed closely behind Sun.

"Javelins!"

Kado commanded the Giant Legion to launch another attack.

Once again, over a hundred Flying Spears whistled through the air, shooting toward the sky.

But this time, their attack missed.

The Blazing Phoenix’s speed was simply too fast.

By the time the Flying Spears reached its previous position, it was already hundreds of meters away.

Raylo, riding Baofeng, trailed at the very back.

His expression was incredibly grave.

’This Blazing Phoenix,’ he knew, ’has probably been hiding nearby from the very beginning.’

’Just like the Blue Flame Bat Dragon before it, it was waiting for the Sun Crown Stone to appear.’

’The Blue Flame Bat Dragon drew everyone’s attention.’

’Then, at the most critical moment, it launched a fatal strike, like a master assassin.’

Compared to an ordinary Magical Beast, this newly appeared Blazing Phoenix was far more intelligent and decisive.

The sky was painted in two colors: gold and crimson.

A heart-pounding chase was unfolding furiously, ten thousand meters high in the sky.

The Blazing Phoenix was as fast as a shooting star. Its body, wreathed in raging Flame, carved a long, brilliant trail through the dense clouds of volcanic ash.

With every beat of its wings, it kicked up a shower of sparks, as if threatening to set the entire sky ablaze.

Sun pursued it relentlessly, its furious roars echoing like rolling Thunderbolt through the clouds.
