In the depth of this forest was the Boss of this stage. Alex was too shocked upon seeing the identity of the enemy.
Calm ivory eyes sit lightly within the creature's scaled, bony skull, which gives the creature a savage-looking appearance.
Several crystal growths sit atop its head, just above its thick, angular ears. A row of small horns runs down the sides of each of its jawlines.
Its nose was short and had two short, curved nostrils and there are crystal growths on its chin. Several huge teeth poke out from the side of its mouth and show a glimpse of the terror hiding inside.
A strong neck runs down from its head and into a long body. The top is covered in scale-like skin and rows of small tendrils run down its spine.
Its bottom is covered in small scales and is colored slightly lighter than the rest of its body. Two slender limbs carry its body and allow the creature to stand dignified and illustrious. Each limb has 5 digits, each of which ends in keen talons seemingly made of onyx.
Huge wings grow to start from its shoulders and end at the end of its shoulder blades. The wings are almost butterfly-like, the insides of the wing seem to be made of thin crystals and sharp, spiky scales cover the top of each visible bone.
Its fairly short tail ends in a fan-like tip and is covered in the same scale-like skin as its body.
''So it's a dragon before meeting him, huh!" Alex murmured, his expression was interesting.
Floating above the dragon was the following sentence.
[Lesser Dragon Lv202]
Shockingly it was a monster in the False Gold realm. If it was outside this dragon rank would be classified above the SSS rank.
Alex narrowed his eyes as he seized the beast, the latter was doing the same thing. It was a pity it was not one realm lower like that he would have put the dragon under submission using the Blood Bullet, unfortunately, they are both in the same realm with just a few levels apart.
''Truly regrettable.'' Alex shook his head.
In the meantime, the dragon could understand human language because he was created by Bahamut's consciousness using the fallen adventurers in the infinity maze together with dungeon essence and his flesh.
The dragon frowned feeling like he had been looked down upon and as the last barrier before his lord's castle he couldn't tolerate such blatant disregard, even if his lord seemed to think highly of this human. He would kill him and show his lord his loyalty and usefulness. To go to the outside world to join the main body, he was all his lord need not this fragile human.
While the lesser dragon was arrogantly thinking how to teach Alex the lesson the latter couldn't help but shake his head as he saw the contempt in the beast's eyes.
It's known consensus that dragons are arrogant beings that always think they're above everyone else. This arrogance is rooted deep in their bones.
It is good to be arrogant but only when you are sure of your strength if not your arrogance will be your sin and at the same time cause your downfall.
Alex smiled and already thought about how to deal with this arrogant lesser dragon a good lesson. Then the smile faded and his expression became cold like the oldest glacier.
It would be overkill to use his Asura's mode because of his Royal Asura's bloodline, his strength would skyrocket if he were to use it more than in the past, Alex was leaving this mode for the final boss. As for how to deal with this lesser dragon he got the perfect mode.
''Dragon's mode!" Alex announced before a boundless force exploded from his body in an instant crushing the surrounding trees into a powder.
The lesser dragon who was thinking about how to ruthlessly trample on Alex before killing him froze unable to even blink looking at the transformed Alex.
Standing above two meters and covered in glittering dark golden scales with two vertical golden pupils and two curved dragon horns was Alex, behind him was a long dragon tail. He looked majestic, he looked imposing at the moment.
The lesser dragon felt something he had never felt before, a kind of primal fear even though he seemed unaware of it. Even his lord, his creator didn't give him this kind of pressure, never made him feel death was so close as the man before him.
All his previous arrogance disappeared in a puff of smoke and was replaced by fear, endless fear, and the scent of death gripping its throat.
The first step in Alex's plan was achieved, time to continue with the following one. He fired a seemingly normal bullet behind him before lowering his dragon's pressure, dragon's force if you want.
Immediately after, the lesser dragon who regained its mobility attacked by spewing fire.
Boom!
Everything was happening at a speed impossible to describe, with the exploding dragon's breath reaching Alex instantaneously. Despite this, he smiled and said,
"Nice reaction!"
Turning around in a flash, he fiercely smashed his dragon's claws into the ground.
BOOOOM
A world-ending blast occurred, turning into a gigantic mushroom cloud.
Simultaneously, black flames swirling with golden lightning rippled outwards as shockwaves because he fired two special bullets to create this illusion.
The lesser staggered back, its eyes reflecting the incredible sight of Alex.
He was rushing through the mushroom cloud, splitting the mushroom cloud!
"To be honest, if I want to completely overpower you, it would be difficult even for me," Alex acknowledged with a pleasant smile.
"As for obliterating you in an instant it would be harder it's why I came up with certain countermeasures.''
"?!"
The lesser dragon didn't know why, but Alex's acknowledgment made it feel as if this was some ominous premonition.
While trying to make sense of this, it swiftly raised its front claws to protect its chest as Alex's fist reached there.
But then he surprised the beast by stopping the fist just a hairsbreadth away.
His lips curved up, and he said, "But luckily for me, I neither have to overpower you nor obliterate you. I only have to push you into the thing behind turning you into my nutrient…"
As these words entered the lesser dragon's ears, he felt an intense sense of crisis. This crisis reached its peak when it heard the concluding phrase.
"Hell's Gate!."
Swoosh~!
Suddenly, the forest turned pin-drop silent and turned blinding dark. Every source of light lost its function.
RIPPPPPPPP
In such an environment, just a mile behind the lesser dragon, a gate appeared and was opened.
The lesser dragon corpse hurriedly jerked its head at the ominous-looking portal.
Whoosh!
Ghost-like and demon-like figures appeared in the swirling colors, their expressions filled with hunger.
The lesser dragon froze and felt a chill down its spine.
"Do you really think now is the time to be distracted?"
Alex's voice rang in the lesser dragon's ears, bringing it back to reality.
It quickly turned its head.
But it was too late.
BANG!
By then, Alex's fist has brutally pounded onto its chest.
Its chest caved in, and its back arched out while its body slammed into the portal. The ghost and demon-like figures smiled and grabbed the lesser dragon.
Their ethereal hands and tentacles turned into chains and tightened around the big dragon's body, and they dragged the him3 in.
The lesser dragon didn't even get the time to resist—all due to a moment of carelessness.
"Relax, this isn't the end for you," Alex said with a friendly smile. "In fact, it is a start…the start of your eternal suffering before you will turn into my tonic."
"!!!"
The lesser dragon growled angrily, and flames exploded out of it. A few ghost-and-demon-like figures were burned by them, but Alex was calm.
He snapped his fingers, and the Hell's Gate disappeared. Now the lesser dragon has no choice of escaping even if it broke its confinement. He would suffer endlessly before turning into Alex's nutrition.
