Chapter 153: Body Control! Quest Triggered!
Lilith threw the large black shield on her back to White Shark.
“Catch!”
“Go block the attack!”
Before White Shark could react, she subconsciously caught the shield.
“So light!”
She wasn’t a clueless idiot. She could see the situation on the field. A meat shield was needed to hold the line.
But…
“If I don’t go, that man will surely die.”
Lifting the shield, White Shark had no intention of saving Shelley. If she stalled for a bit, he might just die.
“Die!”
“Huh?”
Shelley, who was in a fierce battle with the crystal dragon, turned his head and glanced at her. Shelley’s expression was cold. He moved his mouth as if in regret. Although they were far apart, White Shark still heard what he said, “I clearly gave you a chance…”
“What a pity.”
A purple light flashed in his eyes.
“Dominate Person! (Divine)”
[Will save passed!]
[Charisma check passed!]
[You have successfully controlled her!]
White Shark lost consciousness for a moment. No! Her consciousness was clear, but her body was not under her control.
“White Shark” lifted her arm. It was a little stiff at first, but she quickly adapted. Then, her huge palm slowly reached for the back of Black Wolf’s head.
“No, no, no, no!”
“Don’t do this!”
Black Wolf, beside her, didn’t notice anything unusual and was still seriously watching the fighting Shelley.
“Stop struggling, and I’ll let her go.”
A cold voice echoed in her mind. White Shark quickly replied.
“I’ll stop! No!”
After she stopped, “White Shark’s” hand didn’t stop. It still touched the back of Black Wolf’s head, and then ruffled her hair…
“I’m going to fight.”
Without waiting for Black Wolf’s reply, “White Shark” directly raised her shield and charged up, blocking a claw attack from the crystal dragon.
[What a wicked sense of humor.]
[You clearly weren’t going to do it.]
“Maybe I would have.”
Distracted by controlling White Shark to block the attack, Shelley took a moment to reply flatly, “I don’t need a disobedient dog.”
His tone was flat, but very serious. Shelley really wouldn’t have minded killing Black Wolf just now. A disobedient dog will bite. Especially since this dog was already courting death.
“Don’t be a hypocrite. You’re the one who wanted to see me do it the most.”
[Hahaha! You found me out!]
[But you’re also very malicious.]
[You could have clearly controlled her mind as well.]
“Give her a chance.”
“I’m not a bad person, am I?”
[You’re a big bad person!]
“Well, thank you.”
Shelley’s consciousness returned. He commanded Lilith and the two priestesses to assist him while carefully observing the crystal dragon before him.
Although the crystal dragon was smaller and not as huge as other dragons, its strength was not weak at all. It was also a very dangerous dragon.
“This strength and the color of its scales…”
“It’s probably a mature adult dragon.”
A dragon’s growth period was very long. They spent most of their time sleeping.
Wyrmling (0-5 years), very young (6-15 years), young (16-25 years), juvenile (26-50 years), young adult (51-100 years). In the first century, dragons were constantly getting stronger. They would usually live with their parents, surviving under their protection.
Adult (101-200 years), mature adult (201-400 years), old (401-600 years). At this stage, a dragon already had legendary-tier strength. They could protect themselves, so they would leave the nest and build their own lairs in the outside world. And this period was also when dragons appeared in the eyes of mortals. They would plunder the treasures of certain kingdoms, or occupy certain special mines as their lairs. Not many people on the Material Plane could harm them anymore.
Very old (601-800 years), ancient (801-1000 years), wyrm (1001-1200 years), great wyrm (1201+ years). At this stage, a dragon’s strength had reached the peak of the Material Plane. The most powerful among them could even wrestle with some gods. They would also gradually fade from the sight of mortals, either going to other planes or sleeping in the remote wilderness.
It wasn’t that no adventurers wanted to take a risk in a dragon’s lair, but their fates were generally very tragic.
“This place was once one of Barret’s lairs.”
“Barret’s ascension to godhood and disappearance was about 400 years ago.”
A pirate king who had successfully ascended to godhood would absolutely not allow a crystal dragon to build a nest in his old lair. In other words…
“This crystal dragon is about 300 years old.”
Its strength is at the legendary tier, but not too exaggerated. I can do it! I can slay the dragon.
“It’s just a bit of a pity…”
Gem dragons were all very beautiful, especially the crystal dragons, which particularly suited Shelley’s aesthetic.
“If only I could ride it…”
[Ding-ding-ding!]
[What did I hear!?]
[So proactive!?]
“???”
“Don’t get excited.”
[Alright! Come on!]
[Legendary Quest Triggered!]
[Legendary Quest: The Flawless Crystal · Catherine]
[First Task: Pacify Catherine’s Wrath]
!!!
Shelley, who was slashing at the crystal dragon, was stunned.
“Huh?”
We’re about to beat each other’s brains out! And you’re only telling me now? Are you crazy?
…Hiss! Wait a minute. Is it… female?
[Tsk.]
[So boring.]
[So cautious.]
[It’s a female crystal dragon.]
[You wouldn’t love it if it were male?]
[You clearly said you wanted to ride it.]
[You’re not human.]
Ignoring the dramatic system, Shelley let out a soft breath.
As long as it’s female… but this situation…
The crystal dragon’s eyes were red with anger.
That’s right… you’re sleeping soundly at home, and suddenly a group of robbers breaks in. Then they not only kill your watchdog, but they also want to kill you. How outrageous. Even the best temper would be pushed to the limit.
“What am I going to do…”
“This is difficult.”
Flashing away, Shelley didn’t stop immediately, but slightly slowed down his attack speed. He carefully looked around, trying to find some clues he could use…
“…Human bones, a crystal dragon…”
“I’ve got it!”
…
Catherine was not happy. The white dragon she had raised with great difficulty had been killed. Although she had just taken a nap and hadn’t had time to teach it, this white dragon had grown from an egg to an adult dragon…
“But I could still have made it a good dragon.”
“Hmm?”
Catherine then saw the man who had been provoking her suddenly stop.
“What is he doing? Surrendering?”
“Should I forgive them?”
Before she could figure it out, she saw the man shout at her with a pained expression, “Are you still going to be so stubborn?”
“Are you really an accomplice of evil!?”
Catherine: ???
What are you talking about?
