The falling black dragon looked like a lifeless wheat sack thrown in the air, but Scott wasn't done yet. He chased after it. Scott's tail circled the black dragon's body to bring the latter up again.
Using his claws, Scott pierced the black dragon's chest.
Blood gushed out like a waterfall.
The black dragon roared as a sharp pain shot through his body. He could hear his fast heartbeat in the ears that sounded more like horse's hoofs at a fast pace. The black dragon started flinging his arms in fear.
Kill!
Darren's breath accelerated at the scene. A desire to kill the dragon rose in his heart. His grip tightened against his blade and sword, and he rushed forward. Darren raised his blade and sword to point them on the black dragon's head.
Clang! Clang!
Darren and Scott froze in the place and stared at the black dragon's body. Weren't they trying to kill the black dragon? What did they accidentally hit?
Darren and Scott had been forced to retreat and flew backwards for a long distance by an incomparably hard thing.
Darren's chest moved faster, but he didn't have time to rest. His eyes landed back to where the black dragon was. He furrowed his eyebrows at the scene.
A mountain size shell enveloped the black dragon's body completely.
"Snail mutant!" Darren's eyes widened at the realization. His opened mouth looked like it was inviting a bunch of flying insects to enter. He had never thought that such a big snail mutant would appear.
Darren's face went ghastly pale as he remembered the hard surface of the shell. Darren's divine blade and sword were known for their strength, and they failed in front of the snail mutant's shell. Why the snail mutant seemed to be similarly strong? He glanced back at the hard thing with shaky breath.
A smooth head popped out from the shell.
"Human beings, you have been poisoned by me." The snail mutant paused for a moment and squinted his eyes. "Now, you'll all die."
His sharp voice echoed in Darren's ears.
Darren's heart raced, and his palms became sweaty. At that time, he felt a nudge from Scott. The latter pointed at his hands. It was then Darren realized that it really happened. He could see his skin being tainted with pools of purple mucus. His nose wrinkled at the scene, and he looked back at the similarly troubled Scott.
Buzz.
The mucus acted like an insect at that moment and crawled on Darren's skin. A shrill escaped his mouth because of piercing pain.
This poison was very powerful!
Even the dragon body of Scott, who was not far away from him, started to emit purple smoke. The dragon scales had been corroded.
"Kill!"
Darren and Scott looked at each other and rushed toward the snail mutant.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dragon claws, the divine blade and sword, like illusions, crashed into the snail shell.
The weapons pounced back with the impact, and they flew back. Darren and Scott narrowed their eyes at the snail mutant, but it didn't even move.
The defense of the snail mutant was too powerful!
"Hey, human beings! Are you trying to break my defense? You must be daydreaming," the snail mutant snorted. "I am not going to play with you. See you later."
The snail mutant once again stretched out his head and looked at Darren and Scott. The snail's lips curled up that sent a shiver down the spines of the two human fighters.
"Black dragon. Remember, I saved your life," the snail mutant said. The snail mutant looked at the two of them for a while and flew away with the black dragon.
Darren's lips tightened at the scene. He didn't chase after him because he couldn't break the defense of the snail mutant. All he could do was to watch the mutant leave.
Scott changed back to the human form. He walked over to Darren and narrowed his eyes at the retreating figures.
"The snail mutant has an invincible defense, but he is only at the level of five-star. Let it go. But it is a pity we didn't kill the inferior dragon," Scott said in a cold voice.
In this battle, Darren and Scott won, but unfortunately, they did not kill any mutant kings. It hurt Darren more than anything else. He turned to face Scott.
"We should get back and rest for a while. After that, we will go and kill all the mutants." Darren glanced at the empty sky. He was not reconciled at all.
"Yes, I agree." Scott nodded in agreement.
They were about to step ahead when their skin started to itch as if someone was tickling with feathers. Darren pursed his lips and turned his face at Scott, who wasn't in good condition either. They had to find an antidote. The two of them flew to the ground together.
Somewhere, in a misty area at the edge of the southern land, two figures stopped.
"I lost. How could I lose to those inferior humans?"
the black dragon roared. He had been transformed into a human form. His whole body was bloody, and his face was dark green. Even after his apparent defeat, he didn't want to accept his loss.
"Dragon, if I didn't help you, you would have died today. You should be happy now!" The snail mutant's lips stretched to form a smug.
"You!" The Dragon King was infuriated by the disdainful look of the Snail King, but he couldn't lose his temper.
