Chapter 198: Dragon Girls
After a single battle, Roger and his squad were deeply shocked before they could even lift a finger.
Both the bolters and the chainswords gave them goosebumps, especially the bolters. These things were lifted and fired, shooting far and accurately with immense power. An average person couldn’t dodge or withstand them.
The dwarf Copper Helm frankly admitted that even a dwarf with thick skin and heavy armor would be torn to pieces by a single shot, let alone ordinary people who would be turned to ashes on the spot.
Even the relatively weaker chainswords were terrifying weapons. At least after being hacked or smashed to death, one could still have a complete corpse. But if one were to be hit by a chainsaw, it would be difficult to even piece them back together.
However, they still remembered their mission. Seeing that the battle was over, they calmed themselves down and continued to spread out according to their usual practice, taking the lead to explore the third floor of the ruins.
Compared to the first floor, which resembled ruins, and the wasteland-style second floor, the third floor of the ruins was the most well-preserved. There were few damaged areas, and some of the tools were still intact, allowing one to roughly see what it looked like back then. Therefore, Owen asked Roger and the others to be careful. He then had Warm Baby scan around and indeed gained a lot, especially a bronze map found on the wall, which provided an understanding of the overall structure of the third floor.
The entire third floor was like a square with a hole in the middle, divided into five areas. According to Owen’s understanding and translation, they were the middle area where the entrance was located, and the database, laboratory, resource area, and mana well in the east, south, west, and north respectively.
The middle area was open, so although it retained some tools, it still didn’t have much value compared to the other four areas that were obviously very important.
Just as Owen was hesitating about which area to go to first, the heavy metal door of the laboratory opened with a harsh metallic screeching sound that made one wish they were deaf. A group of expressionless monster girls walked out, leaving him stunned.
More than a dozen monster girls were of the same species: long red hair, crimson eyes, a pair of curved horns, and a thick tail. They had a peculiar beauty. Most importantly, their vital parts were only covered with a few scales. The upper two points were fine, a band-aid size would suffice, but the canyon was right next to Moonround Mountain, and it was not something that could be concealed by three or five scales in a line. So he was truly stunned.
“They are Dragonkin!” Ai Mi Er said with a solemn expression as she felt the familiar aura, involuntarily gripping her mace-like magic wand.
“Don’t Dragonkin look like lizardmen?” Owen frowned. However, he quickly remembered the Monster Girl Breeding Manual. Obviously, the people who originally lived in the ruins, from top to bottom, shared the same hobby.
It was a pity that he didn’t transmigrate to that era. Otherwise, with his preferences alone, even without the system, he could have become someone of importance, after all, he was rich in theory.
However, the creator’s interest didn’t affect the strength of the Dragon Girls. After confirming the intrusion of foreign enemies, these Dragon Girls seemed to have activated some kind of restriction. Their body temperature rose rapidly, especially around their mouths and noses. The air even became distorted when they exhaled, showing how high the temperature was. Owen felt that even if you stuffed a raw sausage in there, it would be cooked after a while.
Just thinking about this scene was terrifying. Moreover, the halberds in their hands were magic weapons, now activated and wrapped in flames, clearly not to be trifled with.
Facing the charging Dragon Girls, the Limit Warriors didn’t hesitate to raise their bolters. Amidst the loud roars, bolter shells exploded one after another, creating deadly high-temperature shock waves. However, these Dragon Girls were descendants of the Red Dragon, not only possessing extremely strong physiques and agility, but also having a high resistance to high temperatures.
Of course, the Dragon Girls’ fire resistance also had its limits. They definitely couldn’t withstand temperatures of several thousand degrees, only a real Red Dragon could.
The problem was that although the bolter shells could release temperatures of several thousand degrees, this was only at the core, and it was only because of the compression of the surrounding air pressure that hadn’t been released yet that it could be maintained. As the shock wave spread and the air pressure decreased, the rate of heat loss was also very fast. Ten meters away, it only had the temperature to burn people.
Therefore, with the Dragon Girls’ speed and fire resistance, as long as they weren’t directly hit, they wouldn’t be greatly affected.
Realizing this, the Limit Warriors decisively put away their bolters and mercilessly raised their roaring chainswords, ready to dismember the enemy. After all, they were pure warriors, unlike Owen whose hobbies were so extensive. He was already fantasizing about forming a Dragon Girl guard squad, and then he could play some tricks in private, like making a Dragon Girl barbecue grill or something.
However, the violent clashing sounds quickly woke Owen from his fantasy. As soon as he came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that the attributes of these Dragon Girls were no worse than the Limit Warriors who were several heads taller than them. They brandished their flaming halberds and fought evenly with the Limit Warriors wielding chainswords, showing no signs of weakness.
What was worse, although the rapidly rotating chainswords had terrifying cutting power, the flaming halberds were also extraordinary. In the collision, it was the chains that started to get damaged first. Although they didn’t break, their durability was constantly decreasing.
“Charle, take action,” Owen said to Charle, seeing that the Limit Warriors were about to lose the upper hand.
Charle, as Owen’s trump card, nodded silently, gripping her Ghost Blade Halberds. At the same time, the muscles in her thighs tensed, her well-defined muscles instantly becoming prominent, displaying an undoubtedly explosive strength. Then, with a bang, it was unclear whether it was the sound of her stepping on the ground or the sound of her body breaking through the air. Anyway, before Owen could blink, two Dragon Girls were tragically cut in half at the waist. Another one was even more unfortunate, being slammed into the wall in the distance with broken bones and tendons, a bloody mess that stuck to the wall and hadn’t fallen down yet.
Owen gasped. He knew Charle was strong, after all, she was his only Legendary subordinate, but he never knew she was this strong.
But it was no wonder. As Owen’s personal guard, Charle rarely had the opportunity to fight, thanks to his cautious nature.
Their occasional fights were also sparring between companions, where they couldn’t go all out. Therefore, this was the first time Owen had seen Charle fight seriously, and who would have thought she would give him such a big surprise.
In fact, Owen didn’t fully understand this world’s division of strength, especially regarding Legendaries.
Professionals were divided into Apprentice, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, and above that, Legendary.
Apprentice didn’t need to be mentioned, they hadn’t mastered any supernatural power at all, at most they could be considered ordinary people with good skills.
As for Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master, they were just different in their degree of mastery and application of supernatural power, their essence remained unchanged.
Only Legendary was special among the several levels, because Legendaries truly walked a path they had opened up themselves, creating legends through continuous breakthroughs and tempering.
However, Legendaries were also divided into levels. Some had one attribute that reached the Legendary level, while others had truly achieved perfect harmony of mind, skill, and body.
Just like heavyweight boxers, some were champions, while others could only be sparring partners.
Because of the lack of comparison, Owen didn’t have much understanding of Legendaries, so he didn’t know that Bella could also be considered a Legendary, while someone like Charle was called a peak Legendary.
