Chapter 66: Saint Domain Magician, This Is A Divine Weapon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the boiling hot lava lake, smoke coiled and drifted around while the lake surface bubbled.

The air in the surroundings was hot and dry. Adding to this the low oxygen content, there was no way ordinary creatures could survive here at all. This was a forbidden area, a place of doom, and even more so a true hell on earth!

“What should I do?

“What exactly should I do?”

Meng Lei was in such a panic that he was going around in circles. The Fire Dragon carcass was too massive. The storage space in his spatial magic devices was nowhere even near enough, which meant that he didn’t have any means of bringing it away with him wholesale for now!

To avoid falling to the extent of leaving empty-handed, he had to think of a way to pluck at least a little something off its body. Dragon scales, dragon core, dragon horns... These were all wonderful things that could sell for good prices!

“The problem now is, how do I pluck them off?”

Meng Lei’s eyes landed on the black spear. The murder weapon had pierced all the way through the Saint Domain Fire Dragon’s head and protruded from its throat.

It... had impaled the Saint Domain Fire Dragon to death!

“The hardest and toughest part of a Fire Dragon’s body is its head, yet it could even pierce right through its head. This spear...”

An indistinct look flashed across Meng Lei’s eyes. He sprung off the ground and leaped onto the Fire Dragon’s head, and made close contact with the peerless murder weapon!

It was pitch-black like ink throughout, as thick as an adult’s forearm, covered in magic pattern markings all over, and forged from an unknown material.

“It looks simple and unadorned, while its might muted and subtle!

“But since it could pierce through the Fire Dragon’s head, then it must be very sharp, right? I should be able to gouge out some stuff with it?”

Meng Lei gripped the black spear in his hand and pulled forcefully.

(⊙o⊙)

“Uh...”

It didn’t budge at all!

He pulled forcefully again. However, it still didn’t budge. Even when he gritted his teeth and applied force again, it still didn’t even goddamn budge a little.

“I... F*ck!”

Meng Lei fell onto his bottom on top of the Fire Dragon’s head. He was close to cursing. “What kind of goddamn spear is that, exactly? It’s actually that heavy?

“But this shouldn’t be happening!

“With my Seventh-Grade Warrior strength, what kind of spear can’t I pull out? Or is it stuck in the Fire Dragon’s skull?

“No, I can’t give up!

“That’s my only hope in taking apart this dragon carcass!”

Meng Lei gritted his teeth and tried again.

Yet during the next few minutes, even after Meng Lei had put in every ounce of strength he had in him, it was as if the black spear had become part of the dragon carcass, and it didn’t even shift at all.

“I’m so tired!”

Meng Lei panted heavily. He had the impulse to pick up a hammer and smash everything to smithereens at the moment.

This is so goddamn infuriating! I’ve already wasted half a day doing this, so why don’t you just goddamn move a little?!

“You’re not going to be able to pull out the Gods-Slaying Spear like that!”

At this moment, an old, aged voice suddenly rang out by Meng Lei’s ear.

“Who’s there?!”

Meng Lei jerked violently. He sprung off the ground and took a huge, sudden stride forward. His eyes were full of shock and wariness as he looked around everywhere. Someone else was actually here in an obscure place like this, yet he hadn’t detected their presence at all.

He’d been too careless!!

If the other party had harbored ill intentions, he would’ve been...

Meng Lei couldn’t help but shiver.

“Relax, I don’t have any ill intentions.”

A wisp of green smoke emerged from the black spear and rose into the air before converging into the shape of a human... No, to be more accurate, it was... A Dragon Person!

Dressed in a long fiery-red robe, he had a head of long fiery-red hair and a long fiery-red beard. He looked kindly and amicable, and there were two fiery-red horns at the top of his head.

“W-who are you?” asked Meng Lei as he stuttered in a trembling voice.

Astounded and horrified, he stared hard at the red-haired elderly man floating above the Fire Dragon’s head.

“Who am I?”

The red-haired elderly man chuckled and stroked his beard. “I’m the Fire Dragon Magic Academy’s president, and the chief court Saint Domain Magician of Fire Dragon Kingdom. My name is Amos Kroc. Little fellow, you should’ve heard of this old man’s name before, right?”

“The president of Fire Dragon Magic Academy?”

Meng Lei was a little stunned. He murmured softly, “The president of our academy is Fred Flit. I’ve seen what he looks like before, but he doesn’t look like you... Wait!

“Amos Kroc!!!”

Meng Lei exclaimed in surprise, “Did you say you’re Amos Kroc?!”

“Haha, looks like you’ve heard of me!”

The red-haired elderly man smiled in gratification. “I’m very comforted to hear that!”

Meng Lei’s eyes were fixed on the old man, however. He said, “Amos Kroc is the second president of our Fire Dragon Magic Academy, but he has already been dead for more than 20,000 years. Yet you’re saying that you’re Amos Kroc. Are you just teasing me?”

Amos Kroc—the second president of Fire Dragon Magic Academy, a strong and powerful Saint Domain Dragon Person, and a Saint Domain Magician skilled in both water-elemental and fire-elemental magic.

He was the first Dragon Person to master Dragon-Language Magic and was skilled in the research of magic. He had invented a total of 189 water-elemental and fire-elemental magic spells and made an outstanding contribution to water-elemental and fire-elemental magic research!

Meng Lei had seen these achievements at the group of statues in Fire Dragon Square. All the glorious achievements of Amos Kroc, the second president, had been engraved on the statue. They were still fresh in Meng Lei’s memories even now, and he also looked up to him very much.

However, the problem was that President Amos Kroc had mysteriously disappeared after he had stepped down. There had been no news of him ever since, and everyone thought that he had already passed away.

As of now, more than 20,000 years had already passed!

“I’ve been dead for more than 20,000 years?”

The old man was mildly stunned for a moment. Then, he sighed and remarked, “I didn’t expect that more than 20,000 years have already gone by. How times have changed... Time passes by too easily!”

Meng Lei stared at the old man, not daring to relax even a little.

“Little fellow, relax. I am indeed Amos Kroc!”

Ol’ Amos chuckled and said, “Back then, I was stuck at the pinnacle of Saint Domain for many years without any improvement, so I resigned from my position as academy president to wander around the continent and travel to every corner of it.

“In the end, my efforts were rewarded, and I found an opportunity to break through. Thus, I found this volcanic crater in the Magical Beast Forest.

“Unexpectedly, at the final stages when I was about to break through, this black spear came flying here from some unknown place. It killed me on the spot, devoured my soul, and sealed me within it!”

There was neither hatred nor fury in the old man when he related all these. He spoke in a calm and tranquil voice, and his disposition was cheerful as if he was narrating something trivial and unimportant.

His state of mind moved Meng Lei emotionally.

Despite being killed by someone, he was still able to stay so calm and tranquil. What an unbeatable state of mind he possessed!

Of course, he didn’t eliminate the possibility that Ol’ Amos was lying and deceiving him, either.

With regard to that, Meng Lei had no way of telling. He could only go along with the old man and ask, “So, you don’t know who had killed you, either?”

“That’s right!”

Ol’ Amos nodded slightly, somewhat frustrated. “Being sealed in this black spear and unable to see the light of day, and becoming something neither human nor ghost, this old man has resented, hated, and had become aggrieved before...

“But after such a long time, everything has already been worn away. It’s just that I was killed so absurdly, yet I don’t even know who my foe was. This old man is certainly more or less rather frustrated!”

“Anyone would be frustrated.” Meng Lei shook his head and went on. “But the owner of this spear could kill even you, so their battle capabilities must have reached unfathomable depths. Perhaps not knowing who they are might be something positive instead!”

“I’ve also considered that.” Ol’ Amos smiled and said, “The material that this spear is made out of isn’t something that can be found in Heaven’s Vault Continent. The magic circle engraved on it also contains endless profoundness and has surpassed the Saint Domain stage.

“Thus, my bold conjecture is that this black spear’s owner must be a terrifying existence far above the Saint Domain level for sure. I can only count myself unlucky to be killed by him.”

“In that case... This spear is a treasure?”

“It’s far more than just a treasure. This is a divine weapon!”
