There's no medicine for regret in this world. Mei Magogoko was stunned by Su Nian's roar, with an added deafness debuff.
Besides this, Su Nian had no other way to render her incapable of resistance without killing her.
After all, his overall strength had improved comprehensively. One look at his status panel would tell you why.
[Name: Su Nian·Wotru...]
[Gender: Male]
[Race: Black Dragon (Variant)]
[Level: 32 (Tier 4) (31-40 level)]
[Health: 96000 (Constitution×100)]
[Strength: 480 Attack: 9600 (Strength×20)]
[Constitution: 960 Armor: 9600 (Constitution×10)]
[Spirit: 320 Magic Resistance: 3200 (Spirit×10)]
[Skills: Variant Dragon Breath, Primal Hunt, Dragon's Might, Inherited Draconic Rhetoric, Advanced Devour, Basic Insight, Experience Sharing, Terrifying Intimidation, Edict·Sacrificial Ritual]
Although his level hadn't increased much, after entering Tier 4, his basic attributes per level had improved, almost doubling upward.
However, these figures were just an objective reflection with only reference value. After all, a dragon with its head cut off would still die, no matter how long its health bar was.
Su Nian looked around and found that all the players in the dragon's nest had perished. More than half of the nest was burning with greenish corrosive flames. Various charred smells mixed together, making even him frown involuntarily.
This dragon's nest was completely uninhabitable now.
With this thought, Su Nian grabbed Mei Magogoko along with the barely alive Ji Ge and Ji Taimei, while carrying Anna in his mouth onto his back, instructing the little loli to hide well on his increasingly broad back.
Then he raised his head, his throat swelling with green light, and a spiral linear dragon breath shot upward.
Instantly, the top of the dragon's nest was broken open by the impact of the dragon breath. Accompanied by the rumble of exploding rocks, Su Nian flapped his wings, sweeping away several flying stone fragments, and rose to the sky above the nest.
Looking down, corpses were strewn everywhere outside the dragon's nest.
Cockatrice and Fireflame Rabbit carcasses were everywhere, with many players still stubbornly resisting.
These were the players who hadn't entered the dragon's nest, and when they learned that all the players inside had been wiped out, they also planned to retreat.
"Want to run after coming here? Hmph..."
Su Nian sneered, his dragon eyes flashing with ferocity.
Those who died were his subordinate monsters.
Unable to respawn, each death meant one less.
A deep rumble emanated from his chest, and obscure draconic magic echoed across the field with his dragon's roar.
"ZireKaalZoor!" [Rousing Roar]
"ZunHaalViik!" [Disarm]
After these two dragon utterances, even though Su Nian wasn't yet proficient, it was enough to cover this small battlefield outside the dragon's nest, and the situation instantly changed.
First were all the monsters.
Originally at a disadvantage, but once strengthened by the dragon language [Rousing Roar], they instantly swelled in size, with greatly enhanced strength and speed.
Meanwhile, the players from Sakura Island's Village 6 were dumbfounded.
Because their weapons and armor—anything made of metal—uncontrollably fell to the ground.
"Baka! Why did my equipment drop?"
"The black dragon is here, Miss Gogo failed, we should retreat!"
"Yoshino-kun, I never realized you were so tiny. You can't give me happiness, we should break up!"
...
The players from Village 6 screamed continuously, but they still couldn't change the fact that they had become naked cherry blossom pigs.
Only the mage players could preserve their dignity.
But they still had to face increasingly ferocious and brutal monsters.
The players had never imagined that one day, they would be crushed to death by the pectoral muscles of a six-foot-tall muscle rabbit.
Nor had they ever thought they would have their stomachs penetrated in one strike by a Cockatrice with claws thicker than their thighs.
A slaughter filled with philosophical undertones began.
The King's chokehold, the King's body slam, and the King's face-to-face intimacy.
The brutality and bloodiness of the scene was beyond description.
Of course, some clever players managed to escape to the forest periphery, but waiting for them was the monster allied army returning from Village 1.
...
"Master, we arrived too late, damn it," Grey Wolf and Bolikri knelt at Su Nian's feet.
Once they only needed to look up to see the full figure of the giant dragon, but now raising their heads, they could only see his broad chest.
"This is not your fault," Su Nian shook his head.
He didn't blame his monster leaders for this incident.
After all, who could have predicted that the players from Sakura Island's Village 6 would launch a sudden attack without any prior movement, not even notifying the players from Village 1.
They were planning to feast alone.
But unexpectedly, they ended up serving themselves as food instead.
This crisis was ultimately due to the dragon's hibernation advancement trait. If this bad habit wasn't eliminated, various accidents would continue to happen in the future.
"Keep this human alive and watch her carefully until I return," Su Nian tossed Mei Magogoko, whom he had been pinching in his claws, in front of Grey Wolf like garbage.
Mei Magogoko, already down to half health, lost a bit more. This was the result of his gentle handling.
"Oh, by the way," he suddenly remembered something.
"The human soldiers in the dragon's nest have mutinied."
"Find them and kill them."
"As for those who behaved and didn't rebel, leave them alone."
"You may appropriately improve the quality of their food."
"As you command, great master!"
Seemingly annoyed by Grey Wolf's slow speech, Kobold leader Bolikri took over.
"But, master, aren't you returning to the dragon's nest?"
"Not for now, hehehe..." Su Nian's face twisted into a grimace, his sharp dragon claws clenched as he looked toward Sakura Island's Village 6, exuding murderous intent.
"Today, I'll personally serve as an incinerator."
He, Su Nian·Wotru·Stupak, always repays kindness without delay.
...
Sakura Island Village 1.
At some unknown time.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Only occasional slight friction sounds came from the cracks in the ruins.
This was the survival method discovered by Sakura Island Village 1 players. They used their seven or eight respawn chances to dig holes and bury themselves, thereby avoiding the monsters' spears and poisoned arrows.
"Have the monsters retreated?"
From a dark corner in the ruins, Yamaguchi Mura Chicken poked out half his head.
He nervously looked around, ready to retract into his hole at any moment.
It had been a long time since he'd heard the monsters' roars. Instead, the players' trembling questions grew more frequent.
He raised his head to look around and found that the monsters that had surrounded the pit traps were gone.
They seemed to have withdrawn.
Yamaguchi Mura Chicken was overjoyed and climbed out of his hole.
"Yoshi! It must be my Gogo-chan."
"Those monsters must have discovered Gogo-chan and her team, and gone to intercept them!"
"Now those monsters must be in disarray."
"This moment is perfect for our pincer attack!" """
