Chapter 1073 - Long Lin: I’m The Strongest!

Inside the arena, Long Lin rode his Briarscale Dragon King through the sky with the Crimson-Eye Earth Dragon King and the Volcano Dragon King in hot pursuit.

The Crimson-Eye Earth Dragon King specialized in berserk arts and earth manipulation, while the Volcano Dragon King excelled at magma-attribute dragon breath. Both contestants had abilities that could counter Long Lin’s Briarscale Dragon King.

However, neither could match the Briarscale Dragon King’s speed, which forced the two pursuers to spend most of their time chasing rather than attacking.

Long Lin urged the Briarscale Dragon King forward at full speed and kept a close eye on the two enemies behind them. When he spotted the Volcano Dragon King charging an attack, he shouted, “Dodge left and down! Magma breath incoming!”

A stream of searing magma breath sprayed toward the Briarscale Dragon King like a fire hose. Thanks to Long Lin’s early warning, his unit swerved aside just in time. It suffered minor, superficial burns, but nothing severe enough to affect its combat ability. Nonetheless, they couldn’t run forever. The cumulative damage would eventually bring the Briarscale Dragon King down.

At that moment, a notification arrived. Another teammate had died. Long Lin’s frustration boiled over. “Useless! Every last one of them is useless!”

The Ancient Dragon Clan was already at a disadvantage, and now only three contestants remained against four Dragon Kings. There was no way to turn the situation around.

While Long Lin agonized over their predicament, the two Dragon Kings trailing him were hatching a plan of their own. Their elemental affinities made them inherently slow, so they couldn’t just keep chasing the Briarscale Dragon King and chip away at it until exhaustion finally brought it down.

The Crimson-Eye Earth Dragon King had an idea and relayed it in dragon tongue. “I’ll cast Berserk on you. While the buff lasts, take him out.”

The Volcano Dragon King liked that arrangement. Buffed by an ally and handed the main attack role? It would have to be crazy to refuse.

“Do it. I’ll make them burn.”

The Crimson-Eye Earth Dragon King had its own calculations. If they kept chasing and another Great Dragon teammate swooped in to claim the kill, all their effort would go to waste. It was better to play support now and at least secure an assist.

It cast its signature Berserk spell on the Volcano Dragon King. Every cell in its body seemed to ignite as energy and power surged through it. Its magma breath, which had previously required two seconds to charge, could now be used instantaneously. Its magma reserves also increased, and its attack range expanded.

Long Lin felt the Volcano Dragon King preparing another attack and braced himself. Unfortunately, the attack was already on its way. The magma breath slammed into the Briarscale Dragon King’s belly before it could react. The devastating attack critically wounded it and sent it plummeting from the sky.

The two Dragon Kings’ eyes lit up with excitement. Once on the ground, they’d never let the Briarscale Dragon King take to the air again. It would lose its speed advantage entirely, leaving Long Lin no chance of escaping them. In the next instant, both Dragon Kings touched down eagerly and blanketed the area with their Dragon Fear.

Long Lin’s face went pale now that they were trapped. The only way out was through them. His Briarscale Dragon King could barely handle one. Fighting two at once with its current injuries was hopeless.

“Don’t resist, and I’ll make it quick,” the Volcano Dragon King growled in dragon tongue. The berserk state had convinced it that it was invincible.

The Crimson-Eye Earth Dragon King was already communing with the earth beneath its feet. It was glad that the Volcano Dragon King’s breath hadn’t killed the Briarscale Dragon King outright, which meant there was still an opening to steal the kill.

Long Lin was furious but powerless. He could handle one Dragon King even at an elemental disadvantage, but two at once was something else entirely. What infuriated him even more was his teammates’ absence. Two were already dead, and the other two were nowhere to be found.

“Not a single one I can count on! Keep hiding like cowards! Once I’m dead, you think you’ll survive?” Long Lin growled.

The Volcano Dragon King began gathering its breath for a finishing blow while the Crimson-Eye Earth Dragon King channeled the earth’s power. It intended to collapse the ground beneath the Briarscale Dragon King right as the Volcano Dragon King fired, redirecting the target straight into its own earth spike attack and stealing the kill. By the time the contribution announcement came out, it would be too late for the Volcano Dragon King to do anything about it.

While the two Dragon Kings schemed against each other, Han Wu and Long Xiang arrived just in time. The Tyrannosaurus Rex charged forward with its jaws wide open and shattered the Dragon Fear barrier the two Dragon Kings had erected. Swarms of Pterlings poured out of Han Wu’s divine realm, obscuring the Dragon Kings’ line of sight and forcing them to abandon their attacks.

“What the hell took you so long!” Long Lin started cursing the moment he saw his teammates. In his mind, he was the Great Dragon Championship’s main combatant, and everyone else should revolve around him.

Han Wu’s brow furrowed immediately. Apparently, Long Lin hadn’t learned a thing from their earlier encounter.

“Say that again. I dare you.” Han Wu’s tone was cold. The killing intent behind his words was so dense that a chill ran down Long Lin’s spine.

The memory of kneeling before Han Wu’s overwhelming core race came rushing back. Long Lin’s knees went soft, but he quickly reminded himself that Han Wu couldn’t summon his Mythic Titans inside the arena.

The strongest unit Han Wu had at his disposal was a Microcosm Yinglong King. It was no real threat to him. Besides, without him, how could the Ancient Dragon Clan possibly win?

His confidence returned, and his knees steadied. “I said what I said. This is the Great Dragon Championship, and I’m the main fighter. Your job is to support me. If the Ancient Dragon Clan loses because of you, you won’t be able to afford the consequences.”

Han Wu snorted and turned to Long Xiang. “Long Xiang, I think the two of us can win this on our own. What do you think?”

Long Xiang glanced at Long Lin, disgusted by his reckless ingratitude, then recalled everything Han Wu had done for him. He nodded without hesitation. “I’m with you.”
