Chapter 10 - Our Opponent Is... A Dragon?

Seeing Benjamin being praised, Samuel felt a sense of unease rising in his heart.

If he himself didn't perform impressively next, if he failed to win Daniel's favor, would he just watch as this 10% bonus fell into Benjamin's hands?

No, he absolutely couldn't just wait and do nothing!

He had to do something.

With this in mind, Samuel shouted, "There's no need for this trouble, isn't the opponent just a Lizard Dark Lord? Come on, brothers, follow me and charge!"

Samuel's voice echoed throughout the abandoned temple, taking the lead in charging forward.

This action, however, disrupted Daniel's plan.

Daniel had initially intended to use a swarm strategy to wear down the Dark Lord's strength, but now being so close to the Dark Lord's territory, Samuel's voice probably alerted the Dark Lord.

Daniel had no choice but to give the command to attack.

Suddenly, more than 20 people surged towards Ethan's position.

The Divine Dragon Warriors immediately became alert, ordering all Earth Dragon Laborers to stop working and return to the abandoned temple for shelter.

The Holy Light Goblins also rushed towards the abandoned temple.

Ethan came out of the wooden house. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢

Mia's black hair spread over her snow-white shoulders, watching Ethan's unusual behavior.

Her face was full of worry.

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, could it be them?

Thinking of Daniel, the hypocritical gentleman, she felt sick to her stomach.

This guy was coveting her beauty, she ignored him, and now he's found his way here.

If it really was Daniel coming to find her, there would be at least 3 D Heroes.

At this time, no Dark Lord could retreat unscathed!

A determination flashed in Mia's eyes.

She knew how Ethan felt about her, and in every respect, he was beyond reproach.

She couldn't let Ethan get into danger because of her!

Mia put on her clothes and walked out.

She said dejectedly, "Ethan, they're here for me. Just hand me over. Then, everything will be fine."

Mia hung her head, just like a child who had done something wrong.

Ethan reached out and stroked Mia's hair, whispering,

"Silly girl, what are you saying? It's not too late now, go back to sleep."

Mia abruptly lifted her head, she was about to speak but looking at Ethan's determined eyes, she felt warmth in her heart.

She nodded heavily and went back into the wooden house.

Rain began to fall outside the cabin, Mia put her hands together, praying continuously.

These days were the happiest she had ever been in her life, not just this life, but even in her previous life.

So, being cared for was such a wonderful thing...

Ethan wrapped his cloak tighter, the heavy rain arrived in a downpour.

Like a prelude to the bloodshed to come.

Then the altar flashed with white light, Ethan also used the last of the iron resources to summon the Divine Dragon Warriors.

The 4 Divine Dragon Warriors kneeled neatly in front of Ethan, their tridents full of rainwater.

"All of you, show them no mercy!"

"At your command!"

Daniel was now a drowned rat due to the rain.

The original mountain path was already hard to traverse, and with the rain, it had become muddy.

If he wasn't careful, his feet slipped, and he fell, face planting in the mud.

In order to catch up with Samuel, many NPCs slid down the hill, tumbling and crawling.

His gaze flickered over the team in front of him, many NPCs were injured, and a few unlucky ones who had bumped their heads on rocks when they fell were already dead.

Finally, they arrived at the foot of the mountain and count the number of people.

Two were dead, and five were incapacitated.

The atmosphere within the team was no longer as cheerful as before, everyone's faces were filled with dismay...

Before even engaging in battle, they had already lost a tenth of their force!

At this moment, Daniel had already felt like retreating.

If he was to fight against the Dark Lord now, the chances of losing were extremely high.

Looking at Samuel's figure, his face was filled with disgust.

If it wasn't for him, there would be no need to issue an attack order, and they wouldn't have rushed down the mountain so hastily, resulting in a loss of combat effectiveness!

A cold look flashed in Daniel's eyes.

Since you are so eager for the reward, then this hot potato is yours!

Just as he was about to raise his hand to issue the retreat command, Benjamin grabbed Daniel's hand.

The two exchanged looks, Benjamin showing no fear.

Benjamin had seen Daniel's small moves clearly.

Now that Daniel knew about the Dark Lord's strength, he might not involve them next time.

Because previously, they estimated that the Dark Lord's strength was at least D+ as it could loot the caravan.

Daniel needed more manpower, that's why he included him and Samuel.

Given the current situation, Daniel probably sentenced Samuel to death in his heart already.

This 10% of the reward, he could definitely get it!

Why should he throw away the money that was delivered to his door?

Benjamin tried to persuade Daniel:

"Captain! If we don't do it now, it won't be our turn to deal with this lizard Dark Lord!"

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating Daniel's icy expression.

Despite the fear, Benjamin held on to Daniel's arm, never letting go.

"Captain! You know, getting information from dialogues between Heroes and NPCs is possible. If we go back now, I'm afraid the details of this lizard Dark Lord will be widely known by tomorrow!"

"This lizard Dark Lord is definitely overestimated! If we kill him now and claim the reward with his skull, the reward will still be large. If we miss this opportunity, the reward will be cut in half at least, and stronger teams might seize the opportunity first. By then, we won't even be able to have a sip of the soup, let alone eat meat!"

Benjamin made sense, and Daniel stood still, considering the feasibility of this.

Benjamin wiped off the rainwater on his face, saying:

"Captain, it's raining so hard that even if our attack fails, at least if we run, the lizard Dark Lord won't be able to catch up!"

Daniel looked at Benjamin again, his expression fluctuating between cloudiness and brightness.

Eventually, he made up his mind and shouted:

"Everyone charge!"

The F NPCs immediately bypassed the two and charged towards Ethan's defense line.

"Right, Captain. Relax, this lizard Dark Lord is not that strong, we can easily crush it!"

Daniel didn't respond, but just pulled his hood up, and with the D+ NPCs, walked on.

Seeing this, Benjamin quickly followed.

At this point, Samuel was also 500 meters away from Ethan's defense line.

Seeing the other party still building Wooden Caltrops, he felt impatient.

Looking back, it would take the team a few more minutes to get here!

And once the Wooden Caltrops were built, it would greatly slow down the pace of attack!

If the other party also has long-range shooting ability, then this expedition to the Dark Lord can basically be declared a failure!

Samuel gritted his teeth, charging forward alone.

His only goal was to prevent the construction of the Wooden Caltrops.

Ethan watched as Samuel approached, activating his Divine Dragon form.

His wings flapped as he moved in front of Samuel.

Golden vertical pupils stared intently at Samuel.

The wings on his back, although not large, were utterly unbelievable to Samuel.

Do lizards have wings? Could it be...

Looking at Ethan, his suspicions were further confirmed!

The traits of the Divine Dragon Warrior's dragon bloodline were obvious:

Golden vertical pupils, dragon scales covering the body, presenting a unique glow under the rain's onslaught, resembling a rainbow.

Samuel found himself incapable of resistance, only wanting to flee!

This was a dragon, not a lizard!

It was the oldest, most forbidden entity described in books!

The books in Riverside had scarce records of dragons, but one thing was certain: dragons were the most incredibly powerful monsters in this world!

Their strong bodies and human-like intelligence made them superior to all other monsters.

And he, himself, was about to attack a Dark Lord capable of controlling dragons?

Samuel fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing to Ethan:

"Big brother! I beg you not to kill me. I can be your spy in the human city! I can tell you the location of those Heroes, just please don't kill me!"

Ethan remained unmoved.

As Samuel began to think there was hope and his grin became even more obsequious, planning to continue pleading for his life.

Ethan, transformed into the Divine Dragon form, ran his dragon blade across Samuel's skin.

There was no dull sensation.

Samuel clutched his throat, looking at the Dark Lord hovering in the air in disbelief!

His hand was warmed by the blood gushing out like a fountain.

Samuel wanted to say something, his throat moved, but he found he couldn't make a sound.

Looking at the massive group of people behind him, Samuel wanted to say something.

A feeling of weakness swept through his brain, his eyes closed, and he collapsed onto the muddy ground.

Samuel was dead!

Ethan looked at the group of more than 10 people, his brows furrowing.

So many people?

If they are all D-level, this could get tricky!

Even though Ethan had just killed a D Hero, it was merely a fluke.

The Hero only wanted to survive, he had no desire to fight.

His weak points were all exposed, making it easy to finish him off.

He decided to hold back and see what the others would do.

The F NPCs arrived and seeing Samuel's tragic death, even the NPCs couldn't help but feel troubled.

They were NPCs, but certainly not brainless NPCs!

Under AI control, everyone began to discuss.

"My holy light, this is a D Hero, and he was killed instantly?"

"Who can disagree, do we still have to keep going?"

"What kind of Dark Lord is he? Why do I feel like he's a dragon?"
