Ellie shook off the bloodstains clinging to her, thinking, "So dirty..."
I've blasted this Black Lizard's body to smithereens, so there should be no problem now, right? It's just a shame I can't recover it and store it as food.
After all, that last Explosion Magic wasn't on the scale of full power, so its destructive force wasn't that outrageous.
Setting aside the MP issue, if I used full power at such a close range, I would definitely hurt myself. Although I still have a 1UP, that thing is a life-saving insurance, so I should keep it if I can!
In this unknown world, I must keep my trump cards hidden.
Having learned from the previous lesson, Ellie was not careless this time. When she came out, she simultaneously activated the True Ancestor's biological senses.
Because of that super-powerful Explosion Magic just now, there was basically nothing alive in the forest underfoot nearby, so activating this now wouldn't lead to misjudgment.
After activating her biological senses, Ellie immediately discovered that the Black Lizard hadn't died yet. As expected of a Dragon King!
However... Ellie flew directly to where she sensed the Destruction Dragon King.
Although it might revive, it would be very difficult for it to rise again, Ellie thought as she looked at the dragon's head under her foot... After all, this guy only had a head left now.
"Hey! Don't play dead on me!" Ellie stomped her foot down and said.
Even though its entire body was blasted into pieces, and only a large head remained alive, one truly had to admire the Dragon King's vitality. After all, according to the original plot, this guy showed signs of revival.
"Bastard!! How dare you!! How dare you turn this King..." The Destruction Dragon King, with only a head left, was still talking tough, but before he could finish, he was kicked again by Ellie.
"You're still talking tough like this? Do you believe I'll leave you here, making it so you can't live, and can't die?" Ellie said.
Of course, it was intentional... Judging by the Black Lizard's performance just now, it would be incredibly easy to extract information from him.
"Hmph hahaha!! Will this King be afraid of you?! As long as this King has a few days, this King can recover completely! At that time, this King will definitely crush you to death!" The incredibly stupid Black Lizard said confidently.
See? It's easy, isn't it!
With only a head left, it only needs a few days to return to its original state?
This guy is truly a cockroach! Or do all ancient Dragon Kings have such terrifying regenerative abilities?
Uh... I feel like this should be the Destruction Dragon King's specialty!
After all, in the original work, it took ten-for-one to take down one of the Eight Greed Kings. If all Dragon Kings had such terrifying regeneration speed, it wouldn't have been so tragic when fighting the Eight Greed Kings!
However, with such a fast regeneration speed, keeping this guy would only be a disaster. It's better to just finish him off here.
"Oh ho! You only need a few days to recover? You're truly a dangerous fellow. So, to avoid future trouble, let's just hit your forehead with another Explosion Magic!" Ellie moved her foot, then took a few steps back, raising her hand as if to cast a spell.
"Wait a minute! You wait a minute! You can still use that magic?!" The stupid lizard asked, somewhat flustered.
"Of course I can!" Ellie smiled back, her expression beginning to construct Explosion Magic again. Just then, Sir Xia Na also rushed over.
"Bai Xia, are you alright?" Seeing Ellie unharmed, Sir Xia Na's tone softened considerably. Then Ellie turned her head back to continue constructing Explosion Magic.
"Hey! You're not really going to use that magic again, are you?! You wait for me first!" The Black Lizard's head's voice was trembling slightly.
"Do you have any last words?" Ellie didn't care. Anyway, killing this guy shouldn't affect the original timeline, and he would still revive later, right?
Hmm? At this moment, Ellie suddenly remembered something. What if this guy was completely eliminated here, and couldn't revive?
Although the original work only mentioned that he was about to revive, it didn't say he definitely would. But how did the people of the Slane Theocracy know that this guy would revive?
It seems the people of the Slane Theocracy understood the Destruction Dragon King's characteristics. So, that means the Slane Theocracy has intelligence that the Destruction Dragon King will revive, or they've fought him before?
Uh... In that case, completely eliminating him here really might affect the subsequent story!
As mentioned before, if there's even a possibility, it must be considered. So, in that case...
"That! I was wrong just now! This King will take several weeks to recover! Yes! Several weeks!" The Black Lizard said in a panic, seeing that Ellie didn't look like she was joking.
"What then? After all, you'll definitely come looking for trouble with me again after you recover in a few weeks, so it's better to just finish you off here once and for all." Ellie replied.
Of course, she was scaring him. When she realized that killing him directly might cause problems, Ellie had already decided not to kill him. She was just deliberately scaring him when she saw him suddenly cower.
"Ah! It's years! It will take years! My whole body was blown up, it will take years to recover! So within these few years, I... I won't bother you!" Seeing Ellie looking serious about killing him, the dignified Destruction Dragon King let out a very embarrassing cry.
"So you mean no matter what, once you recover, you'll still come looking for trouble with me, right? It's better to just kill you directly." Ellie almost burst out laughing... This stupid dragon was actually a little cute.
"No no... This King isn't that foolish to come looking for trouble with the Dragon Emperor's Child again! This King promises! So, so!" The Black Lizard shouted.
"It's not impossible to let you go, but I need you to honestly answer a few questions... and promise not to bother me again in the future." Since she didn't intend to actually kill him, she might as well take the opportunity to extract more information, Ellie thought.
"If it weren't for that bastard Seven-Colored leading this King here! This King wouldn't have come here to find trouble! Hey! Dragon Emperor's Child! This King sees that you were also tricked by Seven-Colored!" The Black Lizard said.
Sir Xia Na looked like she had no idea what this guy was talking about, staring at the Destruction Dragon King who was only a head, then moved to Ellie's side.
Although Sir Xia Na knew Bai Xia's identity and believed she was on her side.
However, there were still too many mysteries surrounding Bai Xia, and the Dragon Emperor's Child mentioned by this Black Dragon clearly referred to Bai Xia.
Combined with the powerful magic that Bai Xia had used earlier, which only dragons could use, it seemed Bai Xia was truly inseparable from the dragon race... Sir Xia Na thought.
