Chapter 403: The Wrath of a Mythical Colossal Beast

The sea trembled as the two law scales from the mythical colossal beasts were activated.

Above the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast, endless black and purple flames erupted from the black scale, forming a colossal beast over a thousand meters long.

This black colossal beast shared certain features with a Western dragon, but it was fiercer and much more formidable. It towered over the sea like a huge mountain, had thick armor-like scales, and was bristled with sharp horns.

Engulfed in purple flames, the terrifying beast’s invisible aura intensified the ocean's roar. However, this time, the flames were the ones that surged, not the sea. They raged across the waters, seemingly turning the entire world into a burning hell.

In truth, however, the power of a single law wasn't that terrifying. The fires were merely a projection of the power of laws from that mythical colossal beast.

The Silver Colossal Dragon in the distance roared. The reverse scale under its neck shimmered, creating a blueish-white dragon scale that was two meters thick and over twenty meters in diameter.

A majestic dragon's cry shook the void and echoed through the heavens.

Centered around that blueish-white dragon scale, endless streams of blue and white power and energy were unleashed, forming a massive blue-and-white storm dragon made of snowstorms and violent winds.

Upon its creation, the phantom of the storm dragon unleashed terrifying pressure that far surpassed the black colossal beast. Simultaneously, its colossal wings blotted out the sky like a raging storm, condensing countless blue hurricanes in the air and raining down snowflakes and ice crystals onto the ocean.

The black colossal beast stood its ground amid the sea of purple flames. In the sky, howling ice, snow, and massive hurricanes circled the storm dragon.

The terrifying display of powers awed the colossal beasts in the area, especially the Single-Horned Kun. Their jaws dropped in sheer amazement.

Even Agatha, who stood tens of kilometers away under the dark clouds, looked solemn. She never expected that intimidating two level 9 colossal beasts would result in the summoning of a mythical colossal beast’s projection.

Even the Thunder Emperor high above everyone looked down in shock. After all, this was its first time witnessing the might of a mythical colossal beast.

Unlike the domain of a level 9 colossal beast, a mythical colossal beast’s power had already begun to "diffuse" into the world, affecting its vicinity. That was why mythical colossal beasts were called walking natural disasters.

Kill him, Mama! How dare he try to make the great Saixitia submit to him!

Next to the massive head of the terrifying storm dragon, the hundred-meter-long Silver Colossal Dragon looked like a tiny shrimp. It roared excitedly as it flew around the storm dragon.

The great Saixitia is invincible! Awesome, unbeatable!

Meanwhile, at the sea below, the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast stared at the phantom. Its presence was far more terrifying than even its own king!

It hadn't expected the Silver Colossal Dragon, which it had dismissed as weak, to also possess a mythical creature’s law scale. Judging by its roars, it even seemed to be the descendant of the fearsome Mythical King Beast. It made sense now that it could become the Dragon King of the so-called Dragon Palace.

Wait. I never said I wanted you to submit!

Without any exchange or conversation, the storm dragon lowered its head, opened its mouth, and aimed it at the Black Abyss King.

Whoosh!

It then breathed out a destructive cold current of blue air and ice crystals. The ray froze and shattered everything in its path, forming a black waterfall in the sky.

The Silver Colossal Dragon had used this move several times before, but it was now magnitudes stronger.

The black colossal beast, originally summoned to kill the Thunder Emperor, roared in defiance. Its purple flames formed a world of fire, and a massive black dragon head slowly emerged from within, snapping its jaws at the black waterfall descending from the sky.

Bang!

Along with the sounds of glass shattering, the black dragon head fractured space itself, tearing open a massive black void that erased all matter and energy within. However, it was futile. Soon, the cold current overwhelmed the dragon head, instantly freezing and shattering it. The blow also destroyed the colossal beast's phantom behind it.

Crack! Crack!

Right after, the cold, destructive breath hit the sea, freezing and turning everything within over a dozen kilometers into countless shards of ice.

The seawater around the ice fragments solidified into a massive crystal island, showing no signs of melting.

After destroying the black colossal beast's law projection, the phantom of the storm dragon also slowly faded. The scale of law only allowed a single strike.

However, despite not being an entity with its own will, a flash of divine light passed through its eyes just as its form began to dissipate.

***

In a world with endless earth, colossal beasts tens and hundreds of meters tall roamed the land, constantly creating and destroying mountains.

On one of its towering, ice-bound mountain ranges, a blue and white dragon slowly opened its eyes. It was at least three thousand meters long and huge enough to look like a small mountain range.

𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

A trace of confusion flickered in its eyes.

The little one with Saixitia only has one life-engraving wheel? Does that mean its bloodline has reached the level of emperor even though it’s only one year old?

Though puzzled, the dragon slowly closed its eyes again and drifted back into sleep.

With each breath, an endless cold current spewed forth, freezing everything around it. The invisible aura spread from the body of the blue and white dragon, creating storms and snow that enveloped the entire region.

***

Only a few moments had passed since the phantoms of law appeared and disappeared.

The hurricanes collapsed as the bluish-white scale shattered. The ice and snow also vanished, leaving behind a frozen island covered in shards for several kilometers.

Down at the sea, with only its head exposed on the surface, the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast took one last look at the black and red colossal beast in the sky. It then disappeared beneath the waves, its aura rapidly fading into the distance.

Instead of attempting to stop it, the Thunder Emperor decided to simply watch it leave. Though he was strong enough to suppress the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast, he still wasn’t strong enough to kill a quasi-mythical colossal beast.

At the very least, it would need to reach the middle stage of level 9 first. From there, the growth span for colossal beasts became increasingly vast. Hence, with each minor advancement, their abilities, power, and physical strength would undergo a significant leap.

That was also why the Sword Dragon almost managed to kill the Nine-Headed Serpent in two hits even though they were both king-level beasts. Since the latter was still at the beginning stages of level 9, the gap in their strength proved too great.

Moreover, it was for the same reason that the middle-stage level 9 Black Tortoise and the late-stage level 9 Serpent Colossal Beast chose to engage the Thunder Emperor in combat instead of fleeing on sight.

They simply could not have imagined that the Thunder Emperor, who had only recently ascended from the peak of level 8 to the beginning stage of level 9, would be a lethal threat to them.

The great Saixitia is unbeatable!

High in the sky, the Silver Colossal Dragon flew and roared excitedly in front of the Thunder Emperor.

Batian, isn't the great Saixitia amazing?

Seeing the Silver Colossal Dragon behave like an excited little girl, the Thunder Emperor let out a roar of praise.

Amazing! I didn’t expect you to have such a powerful move, Saixitia.

Thrilled by the compliment, the Silver Colossal Dragon twirled in the air.

The great Saixitia is invincible! Saixitia will rule the world!

However, just as the Silver Colossal Dragon completed another circle, the Thunder Emperor suddenly growled,

Saixitia, do you have any more of those dragon scales?

The Silver Colossal Dragon instantly froze in midair, its eyes filled with caution. It clutched its neck with its claws and shook its head.

No, not many left.

Seemingly afraid that the Thunder Emperor wouldn’t believe it, the Silver Colossal Beast explained,

These dragon scales are tempered by the laws of mythical colossal beasts and infused with the power of law. It takes a lot of effort to create them.

When the great Saixitia was worried about the dangers outside when it sneaked out the first time, so it went to Mama's palace. Saixitia only found one then, but when it left the ice palace, it found a few more along the way. Mama had probably refined and casually discarded them long ago.

Roar! Roar! The great Saixitia has always been lucky! Every time it sneaks out to play, it always finds lots of good stuff along the way.

Speechless, the Thunder Emperor could only watch Saixitia proudly bask in its own joy.

If those law-infused dragon scales were so rare, did you really think you could just stumble upon a few along the way?

the Thunder Emperor thought.

Your mom probably also deliberately left you the natural treasures you picked up along the road.

Saixitia’s mother was without a doubt incredibly powerful. Even though the Black Abyss King was also a mythical-level colossal beast, it got completely crushed before it could even fight back.

Earlier, when the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast took out the scale, the Thunder Emperor had already been preparing to make a swift exit.

After all, mythical-level colossal beasts were overwhelmingly powerful. Although the Thunder Emperor could withstand a blow at its full strength, the fierce battle with the Sword Dragon Colossal Beast weakened it enough to stop it from taking unnecessary risks.

Let’s go, Saixitia.

The Thunder Emperor growled and spread its thunderbolt wings. It then summoned the power of lightning and shot forward with arcs of thunderbolts enveloping it.

Wait for the great Saixitia!

The Silver Colossal Dragon flapped its wings, causing blue storms to surround it. It turned into a streak of green light as it shot forward.

Soon, the colossal beasts came into view twenty kilometers away. The Single-Horned Kun leaped a hundred meters out of the water with a loud splash, then crashed back down.

Saixitia, you're amazing! You summoned the projection of such a powerful mythical colossal beast!

The Single-Horned Kun flapped its fins excitedly in the sea.

The other colossal beasts were just as thrilled. The three little orcas followed the Single-Horned Kun, leaping out of the water and splashing waves everywhere.

The Blue Giant Crab, eyes glowing red with excitement, sprawled limply on the surface, waving its pincers and blowing bubbles in excitement.

Gurgle, gurgle! Lord Saixitia, you're too powerful! Your might has made all six of my legs go weak. You're absolutely unbeatable!

The storm dragon phantom that the Silver Colossal Dragon had summoned clearly awed the beasts before them.

The Silver Colossal Dragon proudly raised its head in the sky, its tail flicking joyfully.

Roar! The great Saixitia has always been this amazing!

However, compared to the other creatures, the female orca was much calmer, gazing gently at the excited Single-Horned Kun and the little orcas.

The five-headed serpent as well, which had rolled around excitedly earlier, now lay exhausted and floated weakly on the surface. Its fierce, menacing dragon heads hung limp, blowing bubbles with little energy left. Thanks to the grave injury it had suffered earlier, it was forced to go through a near-death experience.

Once the Silver Colossal Dragon had enjoyed enough attention, the Thunder Emperor finally let out a deep, resonant growl.

You're seriously injured, Ghidorah. You don’t need to participate in the next mission. The rest of you, let’s go!

The Thunder Emperor crashed into the sea, causing a loud splash that sent water flying everywhere. The Silver Colossal Dragon followed closely behind.

As the two colossal beasts dove beneath the waves, the other massive creatures, each tens of meters to hundreds of meters long, soon vanished as well. Only the howling wind and pouring rain remained.

This wasn’t over. Mythical-level colossal beasts were incredibly powerful, but once the Thunder Emperor reached the peak of level 9 and fully enhanced two or more of its abilities, it would show the Black Abyss King what true power was.

Moreover, with the law scales in Saixitia's possession, it would be better equipped to deal with forces related to mythical colossal beasts. As long as the true form of a mythical beast didn’t descend, it would be free to fight or retreat at will.

Under the dark clouds, Agatha watched as the group of colossal beasts disappeared, her gaze heavy with concern. "What a powerful mutated creature. To think that level 9 beginner managed to suppress a quasi-mythical level beast."

With a final glance in the direction the beasts had gone, Agatha spread her wings and pierced through the clouds. With each beat of her wings creating thunderclap-like noises, she flew toward the northern coast of North Lin.

The news about the black and red beast had to be reported back to ensure that the intelligence department could keep a close eye on it. It was far too dangerous to be left alone.

***

With the battle now over, the water at nearby coastlines suddenly receded. After some time, it came rushing back in the form of enormous waves over fifty meters high.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The tsunami tossed fishing boats and yachts into the air, snapped trees, and swallowed everything in its path. It submerged even seaside buildings and villas under a massive flood.

Fortunately, due to the early call for evacuations, there were almost no casualties. Only a few reckless people who stayed behind to watch the tsunami or take photos got into trouble.

"It’s that beast with the codename Thunder Fiery."

"So strong! In just a month, it has broken through to level 9. It can even defeat a quasi-mythical level beast now."

"Don’t forget the Silver Colossal Dragon. It must be the descendant of a mythical colossal beast. The scale of law it took out contained the power of one, at least."

As soon as Agatha uploaded the details of the battle and the colossal beasts’ descriptions and abilities, the ocean monitoring center immediately locked onto the Thunder Fiery Dragon Emperor.

They had no other choice. The beast had already been flagged to the Federation’s higher leadership. Moreover, after its battle with the Black Tortoise Colossal Beast, it had been classified as the top monitoring priority.

They began tracking its movements and assessing its threat level.
