Chapter 880 - Insane Plan (1/2)

It took Nie Yan 10 minutes to locate the Violet Eye Dragon roaming through the forest. It was hunting for food, several lion-like creatures its prey. They were spooked by the sudden appearance of the predator and fled in panic.

Nie Yan carefully observed the scene, counting seven lions in total. Despite being near the top of the food chain, they were no different from meek rabbits in front of the Violet Eye Dragon.

The Violet Eye Dragon quickly locked onto the lions. It opened its maw and chanted an incantation in dragon tongue, summoning earth spikes which directly skewered two of the lions. Immediately after, bolts of lightning came crashing down from the sky and struck three more lions. They were all burnt to a crisp.

Holding a lion’s corpse in place with its talons, the Violet Eye Dragon tore off a chunk of meat. It was the ruler of this area. No other creature could challenge it.

Sensing something, the Violet Eye Dragon looked at a patch of distant trees. Failing to spot anything, it continued devouring its meal.

Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his body hidden behind a tree. The violet eyes of the Violet Eye Dragon were as pure as crystal and could pierce through most objects.

After double-checking to make sure the Violet Eye Dragon was preoccupied with the lion, Nie Yan entered stealth and cautiously approached it from behind. Slowly but surely, the gap between them shortened until only 10 meters separated them.

Nie Yan held his breath, his eyes locked on the giant monster’s back.

The Violet Eye Dragon appeared to notice him and snorted out a hot breath of air, annoyed by the disruption.

Just as the Violet Eye Dragon turned around, Nie Yan launched himself forward. His body blurred as he summoned his shadow clone and split into two.

“GROAAH!” The Violet Eye Dragon opened its mouth and blasted scorching hot flames in Nie Yan’s direction.

Nie Yan and the shadow clone both activated Gale Step at the same time.

The Violet Eye Dragon searched for Nie Yan. Seeing a silhouette flash in front of it, it immediately cast a spell. The ground beneath the silhouette split apart as a giant rock pillar dropped down from the sky.

BOOOM! The silhouette disappeared, as if it were never there in the first place. The Violet Eye Dragon’s expression flashed with confusion. With its low intelligence it couldn’t possibly comprehend what happened. It looked around vigilantly, concluding that perhaps the enemy was gone.

The shadow clone had attacked from one side, now dead to the Violet Eye Dragon, while Nie Yan came at it from the other side, plunging Zennarde’s Sword deep into its back.

Only Zennarde’s Sword could pierce through the Violet Eye Dragon’s scales!

PSSFHT! Blood splattered everywhere.

Nie Yan pulled out Zennarde’s Sword as blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain. He hurriedly fetched an empty vial to collect it.

“GRAAAOGH!” the Violet Eye Dragon roared out in pain, shaking the entire forest. When it turned around to pounce on the enemy, they were already gone. It stomped around in pain, searching for Nie Yan who had already left with an Unknown Transfer Scroll.

The Violet Eye Dragon didn’t know spatial magic. So, it could only search around, confused for the second time by a sudden disappearance.

Somewhere 1,000 meters away from the Violet Eye Dragon, Nie Yan reappeared. His head was spinning, his body moving uncontrollably. More than once he felt the sharp pain of running head first into a tree. About 20 seconds later, he gradually regained control of himself.

When Nie Yan had crushed the Unknown Transfer Scroll, he had been hit by the Violet Eye Dragon’s mind magic. He had had no time to activate Mind Immune. The cast speed of a Level 200 Variant Lord was truly terrifying.

Three hulking savages in the vicinity were eyeing Nie Yan. They were ordinary Level 180 monsters.

Nie Yan hurriedly activated Extreme Deterrence. The savages stared at him with vigilance, though eventually backed away.

Nie Yan looked at the vial in his hand, filled to the brim with Violet Eye Dragon blood.

Nie Yan contacted Silvery Night and informed him of his coordinates, ordering him to hurry over. Silvery Night didn’t need to be told twice. He arrived no five minutes later.

“I’ve got the dragon blood. Have someone deliver it to the main branch of the Starry Night Potion Shop.” Nie Yan handed over the vial to Silvery Night. Now all he had to do was wait for Bird and the others to report back with the results.

“Alright. I’ll get to it immediately!” Silvery Night said. He had a Thief teleport back to Calore with the dragon blood using a Return Scroll.

The Sage Alchemists would at least require a week to create the new potion. Until then, Nie Yan planned to do some levelling, or perhaps do another quest.

“Boss, even if it works, the potion will at most knock out the Violet Eye Dragon for a few short minutes, maybe only 90 seconds if we’re unlucky. There’s no way we can kill it in that short amount of time. When it comes to, we will all be dead,” Silvery Night voiced his doubts. Even if there was a potion that could affect a Level 200 Variant Lord, they still would lack the damage to kill it. So, why go through all this unnecessary trouble?
