Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

56 Everyone, Let’s Fight the Boss

‘A legendary Lord!’ Su Wan didn’t know how to make Xu Yuan understand that the Boss, Dark Dragon King, was comparable to a Legendary Overlord. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

Su Wan, herself, was only a Middle-Level Lord. She had only been promoted from Low-Level recently.

This time, no matter what kind of death wish Xu Yuan had, she would not agree. She would never allow Xu Yuan to do something so dangerous.

“Xu Yuan, we can discuss anything else. But we can’t get involved with that creature!” Su Wan, who was usually docile in front of Xu Yuan, stood her ground. She radiated the conviction and aura of a Lord at that moment.

Xu Yuan had an idea. But before he could even mention it, Su Wan’s face changed. She stomped her feet in anger. “Damn it! Shi Linglong is really a troublemaker! She causes trouble everywhere she goes.”

Shi Linglong had discovered that the Dark Dragon King was nearby in their area. Su Wan, on one hand, was worried that the Dark Dragon King would pass by her territory and destroy it. On the other hand, she was really worried for her friend. She was afraid Shi Linglong might be killed by the Dark Dragon King.

Everyone knew that the Dark Dragon King was not like any of the creatures they had encountered so far. The Boss, Dark Dragon King, was definitely not worth it.

Xu Yuan watched Su Wan talking to herself in agitation. He understood what was wrong. The nickname Su Wan gave Shi Linglong was rather accurate. Shi Linglong was indeed a troublemaker.

Shi Linglong had accidentally disturbed the sleeping Dark Dragon King while she was exploring the land with her own troops. She had stepped on his tail! Dark Dragon King was enraged, and he attacked everything he saw.

As for Shi Linglong herself, she was killed but she resurrected instantly back in her territory.

After discovering the traces of the Dark Dragon King, Shi Linglong posted about the matter on the school’s forum. In an instant, the information spread throughout the school and the entire Blue Planet.

“Xu Yuan,” said Su Wan. “The circumstances have changed. Maybe we can fish in troubled waters and reap some benefits?”

Su Wan’s mind raced with ideas, and she finally made a decision after much deliberation. Before this, Su Wan never got involved in anything. It was difficult to imagine getting involved with the Dark Dragon King.

However, the situation is different now. The Lords of the Blue Planet had been aware of the Dark Dragon King’s whereabouts since Shi Linglong posted his location on the forum.

Other than the Lords of the Star Academy, Lords from other academies also had some thoughts and ideas about the Dark Dragon King.

In a one-on-one fight, none of them were a match for the Dark Dragon King. However, the Lords had never ever thought of fighting it alone.

A Lord could pay a certain price to be revived as long as the Territory Core remained intact. This was the reason why some Lords dared to form alliances with others to fight various bosses in the Overlord Plane.

Su Wan thought about it for a while.

When the other Overlords arrived and the scene became chaotic, she would sneak around with Xu Yuan. Maybe she could reap some benefits if they managed to kill the Dark Dragon King.

Xu Yuan was speechless. ‘Why does this situation feel like I’m playing an online game?’ It felt like the Overlord was the player and the Overlord Plane was a virtual game world.

When Su Wan began to have thoughts about the Boss, the Dark Dragon King, the major forums on the Blue Star exploded.

“Heavens! This Boss is comparable to a Legendary Lord! How did Shi Linglong find out?”

“If we can take down this Boss, the rewards will be unimaginable!”

“Even if I die countless times and consume countless resources, I’ll still earn a fortune by taking down the Boss!”

The territories of the other Overlords were far away from the location where the Dark Dragon King had appeared, so they did not have to fear for their territory getting destroyed. They were willing to risk a large margin of error for a small bit of hope.

If they failed, they would have to spend a lot of resources to revive. However, if they succeeded, they would obtain unimaginable benefits!

The school leaders, as well as the Dean of Students in the conference room, had called all the teachers for an emergency meeting.

“This Boss was discovered by student Shi Linglong of Star Academy. She is our student so we must ensure she also receives some benefits from this battle.”

The Dean was happy. He felt like he was on top of the world. He stood on a moral high ground and discussed the benefits the battle would reap.

At this moment, a teacher cautiously asked, “Dean, do you mean that our academy should take part in this battle?”

“Yes. Why not? As long as the Territory Core is intact, they can revive themselves.”

“But… there are other special methods that can prevent a Lord from resurrecting!”

The teacher’s words caused everyone to panic. ‘A special method that prevented resurrection?’

Lords relied on their Territory Core. As long as the Core was intact, the Lords could revive infinitely.

However, this was not absolute. There were some powerful creatures in the Overlord Plane. Some mysterious creatures had special abilities. These rare creatures defied and ignored the rules of the Overlord Plane, which meant that they might have means to kill a Lord and make it impossible for them to be revived even if the Territory Core was intact. Such methods were rare but they had been mentioned in history.

“The Pale Sage of the Sage Council fell in that manner. Have you all forgotten about it?”

At that time , a similar formidable Boss, Giant Turtle Island, had appeared on the West Coast of the Overlord Plane. More and more people recalled the incident.

The Overlords enjoyed the favor of the Overlord Plane. It granted them a safety blanket of being revived as long as their Territory Core was intact. However, the rules didn’t apply to all creatures. Some special and rare creatures had the ability to forgo such restrictions.

After a while, everyone in the Conference Room calmed down. Everyone had been focused on coming up with ways to defeat the Boss, but they had forgotten about the risks.

Ten years ago, the Giant Turtle Island fought a Sage, also a legendary Lord. He had inevitably died.

The Territory Core was inland and not anywhere near the sea. The possibility of it destroying the Territory Core had been minimal. The Legendary Lord had called his friends and family to guard his territory.

However, it was all in vain. When the Boss, the Giant Turtle Island, had killed the Legendary Boss, his territory had crumbled. Only then did the others realize that some creatures could kill the Lords once and for all even without touching their Territory Cores.

Now, everyone had to make a choice. Should they bet on their luck and proceed with the assumption that the Dark Dragon King could not do something similar? Or should they lay low and watch from the Star Academy?
