The humanoid creatures around weren't blind.
A fully armored warrior escaping from the prison cell was so conspicuous that they spotted him immediately.
Unlike those greenhouse-raised Holy Wall guards, these creatures had fought through four countries. Every survivor among them was elite among elites.
Li Chen's plan was good.
The Troll Chief would get drunk every night after finishing his business, making it the perfect time to kill him.
However, he never expected the humanoids around him to react so quickly.
In the end, he was just an ordinary young man driven by passion.
The humanoids blocked his path.
"Brat, where did you get that armor?"
"And what are you doing approaching the Troll Chief's tent?"
The humanoids didn't launch an attack rashly.
After all, the human before them was their comrade, albeit a newbie.
They just instinctively sensed a murderous aura.
They were also greedy for the equipment the human soldier was wearing.
Look at that shining silver armor.
It was much better than the junk they had looted during the war.
Li Chen looked at the humanoids surrounding him, his eyes bulging with rage. He knew he wouldn't be able to kill the Troll Chief today.
These humanoids were all close to level 20, some even in their 20s, almost all higher than his level 18.
However.
Even if he could kill one or two with his sharp equipment, that would be enough.
He could respawn, but these humanoids couldn't. No matter how many he killed, it would be worth it, to atone for those girls!
And to atone for himself.
This was Li Chen's final thought.
He raised his eyes, filled with fury, and lifted his longsword with all his might.
But he was no match for these experienced humanoids.
Even with the game system assisting in releasing skills.
The movements between skills depended entirely on personal ability.
After using a skill, it entered cooldown.
You couldn't just stand there doing nothing, could you?
Basic attacks were interpreted differently by each person; the system didn't make everything into skills. Players had to figure it out themselves.
So, Li Chen went for it.
And then, he was knocked down by the humanoids who dodged his skills and attacked his joints from tricky angles.
"Damn, this guy is actually turning against us!"
"I never liked him, always with that gloomy face, who does he think he's impressing?"
"Kill him! Prisoner meat is edible, and traitors like him are perfect for soup."
The humanoids looked at the severely wounded human soldier on the ground, letting out frenzied shouts.
"Is this the end?"
"Damn it..."
Li Chen gritted his teeth, his bloodshot eyes full of unwillingness.
But he had no choice.
Outnumbered and outleveled.
In the face of absolute power, all his preparations and plans were so futile.
Perhaps a lifetime of struggle.
Would never match what others achieved in a brief moment.
In school, he was ordinary, unremarkable, had girls he liked, but those feelings faded with time.
After entering society, his salary was mediocre, barely enough for rent and three meals a day. A car and house seemed forever out of reach.
His parents introduced him to someone, but he didn't like her much, and she looked down on him too. They parted ways unhappily.
Until he was chosen to enter another world.
Becoming a Chosen One.
Powerful battle energy, dazzling magic.
But why was he still so powerless at this moment?
Was it really so difficult to change and pursue what he yearned for?
The wind rose...
A breeze carrying the scent of grass dispersed the polluted air and ruffled the hair at Li Chen's temples.
"Roar—"
A melodious howl came from afar.
What was that?
He looked at the somewhat dim sky.
In his vision, a black shadow gradually enlarged.
That was... a dragon!
...
"Why is there a black dragon here?"
"Enemy attack! Scatter quickly!"
"Everyone be alert, go notify Commander Gus Jett! Try to find cover, the power of dragon breath is not to be underestimated."
Seeing the approaching black dragon, these mercenaries no longer had any thought of dealing with the human soldier.
They shouted in panic, scattering based on their experience, each to their own post.
...
Su Nian hovered in the sky, his pale golden dragon eyes coldly surveying the Black Beast Mercenary Group camp below.
These were all living system points.
Although they weren't righteous forces, so he could only get half the system points.
But they made up for it with their quantity and quality.
The consumption of system points was increasing. At first, modifying some parts required a modest amount, but now each upgrade cost ten times more.
Take early transformation for example.
A modification that didn't increase combat power, and might even weaken it, consumed 200,000 system points.
System points were never enough.
Now was the time to harvest.
It had to be said that the Black Beast Mercenary Group's leader was quite clever. The barracks were spread out, with some even built inside the Sacred Wall of Felinir.
It was a snow-white wall structure.
Somewhat similar to the "Wall Maria" in "Attack on Titan."
It was hard to imagine how incompetent the army on the Sacred Wall must have been to abandon such a natural stronghold.
But recalling those brain-dead women from that anime in his previous life, Su Nian could somewhat understand.
Now the mercenaries on the Sacred Wall had noticed him and began operating those highly powerful defensive weapons.
It wasn't advisable to approach for now.
Better to slaughter those outside the wall first.
Su Nian began to lower his altitude.
These humanoids without flying ability, regardless of their level, were nothing but sitting ducks.
He repeated his old trick, condensing spherical liquid Dragon Breath in his mouth and throwing it down all at once.
"Boom boom boom"
With three thunderous explosions, three mushroom clouds slowly rose from the camp.
But Su Nian was surprised to find he hadn't gained many system points, meaning the three dragon breath bombs hadn't killed many humanoids.
As the smoke cleared, Su Nian looked carefully and discovered the reason.
These humanoids had already dug trenches in the camp, probably originally to prevent attacks from Holy Aulist reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, these now served perfectly to avoid dragon breath bombs.
Moreover, these humanoids reacted very quickly.
When they saw the dragon breath bombs falling, they immediately moved away.
This resulted in his attack not having much effect.
"Hehehe..."
"You think you can survive like this?"
"How naive!"
Su Nian sneered, folded his wings, and like an eagle swooping on its prey, plunged fiercely into the humanoid mercenary camp.
What greeted him.
Was a large number of archers and heavily armed humanoid mercenaries.
"Futile resistance."
"ZunHaalViik!" [Disarm]
The mercenaries were about to welcome this black dragon with sharp swords and flying arrows, but at the thunderous dragon language, they dropped their weapons.
Arrowheads detached from shafts.
Breastplates and metal pieces fell from leather armor, clattering to the ground.
Longswords and shields rolled on the ground.
They couldn't even pick them up.
"Boom!"
The black dragon's enormous body crashed into the barracks.
Crimson blood splashed and flowed around it.
That was more than a dozen humanoid mercenaries who couldn't dodge in time; they were directly crushed to death by the black dragon.
Su Nian lifted his hind leg to kick away the half corpse stuck at his waist, and his sharp dragon claws swatted away several humanoids blocking his path.
Standing in the midst of the encirclement.
His pale golden dragon eyes flickered with majestic and cruel evil light.
"Now, the massacre begins!"
A dragon's roar spread across the wilderness.
