Chereads / Rebirth as a Time Dragon: A DND Chronicle / Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: Hand-Rubbed Nuclear Weapons

Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: Hand-Rubbed Nuclear Weapons

"Anya, lead the spellcasters of the Alpha Clan and command the magic ship."

"Also, coordinate with the Wolfheart Clan, the Bonebreaker Tribe, and the Troll Clan to use the Black Forest as a base and push forward to cleanse the surrounding aberrant creatures."

"Let no aberrant creature escape."

Before dealing with legendary aberrant creatures, Garon assigned tasks to his affiliated clans.

"Please rest assured, the Alpha Clan will not fail your expectations," Anya said with a light nod.

The Alpha Clan's spellcasters were already of high quality, and combined with other combat-proficient races from the Lava Half-Plane and the excellent magic ships, they could even take on legendary aberrant creatures without considering casualties.

The task Garon assigned them was not too difficult.

Soon, Garon summoned the leader of the Gnoll Clan.

The winged Gnoll named Ford was ecstatic upon being summoned by Garon.

Due to the Gnolls' nonsensical Draconic language and their extremely sycophantic nature toward the true dragon lord, Garon did not favor them much. Thus, when Ford was summoned this time, he was so excited that he stumbled and rolled over in his eagerness.

"Ah, great Eternal Dragon."

"Your humble subject, woof, wishes to kiss your toes to express our utmost loyalty!"

Saying this, the Gnoll Ford crawled towards Garon, truly intending to kiss his toes and not just making an empty gesture.

Garon looked at the drooling Gnoll with a disgusted expression.

His draconic might burst forth.

The tangible draconic might landed heavily on Ford, halting the Gnoll's movement.

If the Gnolls had a more pleasing appearance, Garon might have been willing, but with their current looks, kissing his toes was definitely out of the question.

"Great Eternal Dragon, did Ford do something wrong?" Ford's face showed a look of grievance.

Despite his dislike for these loyal and useful Gnolls, Garon didn't detest them entirely.

He ignored Ford's pitiful words.

"Lead your Gnoll Clan to utilize your talents. Dig into the earth and survey the mineral resources beneath the surrounding land."

"This is an important task."

"Ford, I trust in the Gnolls' talents. Go forth and unearth more wealth for me."

Garon spoke calmly.

Bringing the Gnoll Clan to the planet Kala was not for their modest combat capabilities.

Garon brought them for mining purposes.

Their talents in mining were quite good, with a high sensitivity to minerals buried deep in the earth.

On the other hand, upon hearing Garon's words, especially about his trust in the Gnolls' talents, Ford's spirits lifted, and his expression became excited. His rat-like tail vibrated rapidly.

"With your trust, woof, the Gnoll Clan will not disappoint you."

"Your wealth will be unearthed by us!"

After Garon expressed his value of the Gnoll Clan, Ford was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

Garon nodded slightly.

Soon, the Gnolls, inspired by the true dragon, energetically grabbed their tools and dispersed, executing the task assigned by Garon.

After assigning tasks to the different affiliated clans, Garon looked towards another direction.

His gaze seemed to penetrate space, landing on the legendary aberrant creatures he had previously identified.

"Garon, let's set off now."

Yuna said excitedly.

Garon nodded and gave Yuna the spatial coordinates of the six legendary aberrant creatures.

Yuna was not deeply versed in magic, but her inheritance included abilities like force field teleportation. Through the omnipresent world force field, she could achieve an effect similar to magical teleportation, even more formidable than standard spatial teleportation.

"I'll go ahead. Wait for my good news."

Force energy converged.

In an instant, countless fluctuating lines climbed onto Yuna's body, then enveloped and teleported her to another location.

After using force field teleportation, the force energy dragon girl disappeared from Garon's view.

Garon withdrew his gaze, constructing a spatial teleportation spell. Soon, the silver dragon moved and entered the profound space portal, disappearing along with the closing portal.

After Garon and Yuna set off, their clans were not idle.

Several magic ships carrying their members rose and flew towards the areas where the aberrant creatures gathered.

Below the magic ships, winter wolves, ogres, trolls, and ferocious beasts moved with a rumbling sound on the ground. These powerful combatants started their journey, following the magic ships and sprinting wildly.

Somewhere on the planet Kala's surface, a towering mountain thousands of kilometers high stood majestically.

The mountain was steep, and its jagged cliffs were like huge, sharp blades.

Centered around this mountain, a silent and cold atmosphere prevailed.

Looking down from the sky near the mountain, hardly any aberrant creatures could be seen.

It seemed like a safe zone devoid of aberrant creatures.

However, this quiet, dead area was actually the territory of a powerful legendary aberrant creature. The reason there were no other aberrant creatures was that the presence of the legendary aberrant scared away the common ones.

Meanwhile.

A giant aberrant bear, standing on two legs and ten meters tall, appeared near the foot of the mountain.

This aberrant bear had incredibly sharp claws and fangs, surrounded by dense black fog. Beneath its steel-like fur, one could vaguely see numerous evil eyes.

The bear's perception wasn't particularly sharp.

It was chasing an aberrant creature that resembled a seven-meter-long wild buffalo, pounding the ground and gradually approaching the silent mountain. So focused on its prey, the bear failed to notice the heavy silence.

Seconds later.

The aberrant bear, holding its prey, let out a low roar of victory.

Rip!

With a sudden exertion, the bear's powerful paws ripped the buffalo-like creature in half amidst a shower of black blood.

Then, the bear started to feast, enjoying its trophy.

Chunks of still-twitching meat were stuffed into its mouth, and the bloodstains on its cheeks added a ferocious look to the bear.

In its excitement, the bear roared again.

Unfortunately, it was unaware of the powerful being it was about to face.

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted at the top of the mountain.

A dark figure streaked across the sky in a straight line, crossing a kilometer in the blink of an eye.

With immense wind pressure, the figure moved like lightning.

The aberrant bear sensed this terrifying presence.

It stiffened, ready to flee, but it was too late.

The air seemed to freeze, and a black eagle with a wingspan of sixty meters extended its claws, gripping the bear like a toy and piercing it effortlessly.

Whoosh!

In the wind, the black eagle disappeared with the aberrant bear, reappearing in its nest at the mountain's peak.

The black eagle, having caught a decent prey, lowered its head and pecked incessantly.

The still struggling bear was torn apart by the eagle's beak.

The bear struck the eagle, but its usually powerful paws were ineffective against the eagle's iron-like feathers and even got cut.

The black eagle ate the bear's heart.

The bear's struggles ceased.

At the same time, the eagle let out a sharp cry, shattering nearby rugged rocks.

Then, it slowly enjoyed its prey.

Unfortunately, it too was unaware of the powerful being it was about to face.

A silver streak of light approached from the horizon, shrouded in clouds, drawing closer and closer.

As the black eagle was focused on its meal, the silver dragon silently executed a ninth-circle Shape Energy spell.

Ambush!

A large sun fireball appeared, striking the black eagle instantly.

"Chirp?"

The black eagle tilted its head, looking at the sudden appearance of the small fireball, blinking in confusion.

Boom!

A massive fireball with a diameter of several hundred meters exploded, enveloping both the black eagle and its mountaintop nest.

The fiery glow was like a nascent sun, illuminating the sky.

Garon watched the center of the massive fireball.

The silhouette of the black eagle was faintly visible.

Hit at close range by the powerful ninth-circle Shape Energy spell, the creature still maintained a robust vitality.

Screech!

A piercing cry cut through the sky.

The black eagle, enraged, flapped its massive wings, generating a tornado around itself, dispersing the flames of Garon's sun fireball and revealing its charred, ugly body.

The eagle appeared to be seriously injured from the strike.

However, its wounds were rapidly healing.

Its sharp eyes glared at Garon, showing a bloodthirsty intent. Aberrant creatures typically lack a strong desire to attack other beings, but when attacked, their brutal nature wouldn't allow them to back down easily.

Garon remained calm, unfazed by the black eagle's sharp gaze.

"Wingspan over sixty meters, length thirty-four. This is the first time I've seen such a large legendary eagle," Garon thought to himself.

This legendary aberrant eagle was identified by Garon as the most threatening aberrant creature nearby and his first target.

Immediately, the aberrant eagle spread its wings.

In the next second, it flew like lightning towards the sky, attacking Garon.

If Garon didn't activate his acceleration state, his speed would be much slower than the eagle's.

However, this didn't prevent Garon from easily dealing with it.

Spell-like Ability: Time Segmentation.

Layers of time distortion appeared.

Caught off guard, the black eagle, still entwined with flames, crashed into the time-segmentation area.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

Lines appeared around the eagle's body.

Suddenly, it disintegrated into uneven chunks of flesh, raining down like a bloody storm.

But Garon showed surprise.

"Hmm?"

"Not dead yet?"

Black mist erupted, along with countless visible fleshy tendrils intertwining and adhering, quickly reconstructing the eagle's shattered body.

"Legendary aberrant creature's recovery ability is even more monstrous."

"Such injuries can be healed."

Garon frowned slightly.

Fortunately, the eagle's size had noticeably diminished, and its vitality was much weaker.

Such a powerful self-repair clearly came at a great cost.

This outcome was acceptable.

On the other hand, realizing it couldn't defeat the silver dragon, the aberrant eagle instinctively turned to flee. Powered by the swirling winds, it vanished from Garon's view like a black lightning bolt.

Aberrant creatures that grow to legendary status on the battle-ridden planet Kala naturally have excellent instincts.

Otherwise, they couldn't stand out from such intense battles to become a legendary being among aberrant creatures.

If it were an average legendary dragon, it might have lost track of the eagle due to its speed.

However, it faced Garon, the Dragon of Time.

"Think you can run after being targeted by me?"

Garon shook his head slightly, smiling.

His speed was inferior to the aberrant eagle's.

Speed was not the true dragon's forte.

But with Garon's time abilities, he could easily catch up to the aberrant eagle.

The silver dragon locked his gaze on the fleeing eagle.

Garon's eyes hardened.

With his will, the Slowing Spell affected the time flow around the aberrant eagle.

In an instant, like a slow-motion scene, the eagle's lightning-fast speed slowed down.

Garon activated his acceleration state, flapping his wings.

The silver dragon vanished instantly.

Enemy slowed, self-accelerated, essentially immobilized.

In just a few breaths, Garon closed in on the aberrant eagle, rapidly narrowing the distance.

Seconds later, as he entered attack range, Garon again executed his signature Shape Energy fireball.

Nothing a Shape Energy fireball can't solve.

If there is, then two.

And Garon didn't just conjure two sun fireballs.

Spell-like Ability: Space-time Casting.

Spell-like Ability: Accelerated Casting.

Five sun fireballs, extracted from the recent past, stretched five red fiery lines in the air, attacking the aberrant eagle from different angles.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five volcanic eruptions resounded through the sky.

The raging flames completely engulfed the aberrant eagle.

Five sun fireballs landed simultaneously at the same point, forming a colossal fireball over a kilometer wide, unleashing tremendous destructive power. The shockwave turned many nearby aberrant creatures to ashes.

Gradually, as the flames subsided, there was no trace of the aberrant eagle left, completely obliterated.

"This thing really works."

"If only it could be combined with radiation, it'd be almost like a nuclear weapon."

Garon nodded in satisfaction.
