Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 1053: Section 1035 - Battle with the Dragon



"I really underestimated the opponent! Mr. Brown, Old Party, you guys withdraw first. I'll deal with this giant dragon."

Chen Fei exhaled deeply and immediately made a decision.

The deck under his feet suddenly rose, and the ceiling cracked open a circular hole, just right to send his whole person up and out.

"Hey, hey, 'Rookie', where are you going!"

Heseman Brown was stunned for a moment and then wanted to chase after him in a panic, but his shoulder suddenly grew heavier, adding an extra hand.

He turned his head to look, only to see the Earth Order War Professional Dang Wei Jun holding him down, shaking his head, and saying, "Don't go messing things up, he can handle it!"

The S-Class Space Ability User said furiously, "That, that is a giant dragon!"

Chen Xiao'er's psi skill "One Man Army" is considered invincible on the battlefield.

But to duel?

That's just asking to get killed.

Each craft has its own specialization, the focus is completely different!

Dang Wei Jun remained calm, saying, "He's taken down a giant dragon before, you haven't!"

"..."

Heseman Brown suddenly found himself speechless as he finally remembered that Chen Fei is the only living dragon slayer in the world, having directly or indirectly taken down at least two giant dragons, and of the fiercest kind.

The other party is also a ruthless person, launching "Dragon Slayer Missiles" without hesitation, ready to die together if necessary; otherwise, it wouldn't be dragon slaying, but being slain by a dragon, and crying to Lord Yama would be futile.

Without that kind of ferocious battle record and fierceness, why stop him?

When it comes to dragon slaying, there's hardly anyone on Blue Star more professional than Chen Xiao'er.

The benefit of AI replacing humans immediately became apparent, as it wouldn't lack the means to pilot due to insufficient manpower. The small assault flying ship suddenly accelerated, and just as the Fire Dragon intended to intercept, a deafening voice was heard.

"Where are you trying to go, scum!"

?

The Fire Dragon suddenly turned its head but suddenly found a ferocious steel dragon in place of the small flying ship, with a murderous glint of doubt flashing in its dragon eye.

Where was that human just now?

Boom!~

The Fire Dragon's dragon head was suddenly engulfed by a violent explosion, and its entire dragon body lost control, plunging towards the ground and creating a large crater upon impact on the already fragmented ground.

Two missiles descended from the sky in quick succession, crashing into the bottom of the pit with ultra-high speed, causing a massive fireball to rise slowly.

Inside the X-D-005 giant dragon-type combat mobility armor, Chen Fei showed not the least bit of joy, instead, his expression remained very solemn. The battle was not over, it had just begun.

The spreading smoke obscured the view but couldn't block the detection function. The Fire Dragon, which had taken a railgun shot and two missiles, was not blasted to pieces on the spot, only lost some scales, and its injuries were quickly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Without healing spells, the dragon wouldn't have such rapid self-recovery ability, let alone a Fire Dragon not known for its vitality.

So it's highly likely the work of the Sagali civilization, who are originally skilled in biological control, specifically enhancing certain aspects is almost effortless for them.

The Mechanical Dragon shot into the sky, distancing itself from the slightly injured Fire Dragon in the pit.

Although it was not the first time he had controlled the Mechanical Dragon in battle, Chen Fei was very aware that the Mechanical Dragon was not a true dragon. Even though it appeared to have the ferocious posture of a Metallic Dragon, it lacked the dragon's close combat ability in reality, relying only on those long-range weapons like missiles, rockets, railguns, and various directed-energy weapons to catch the opponent off guard and execute focus fire when opportunities arise.

Even though he had personally killed a giant dragon before, and one with the notorious name "Dragon of Slaughter", it was merely due to good fortune at the time. Chen Fei didn't let past fortunate battle records cloud his reason.

The might of the Dragon Clan is not based on empty reputation. Luck may happen once, even twice, but definitely not three or four times, every time.

If he had been that naive, Chen Xiao'er could never have survived until now; the grass on his grave would have long thrived in the spring breeze.

But now, Chen Fei had only one Element Annihilation Bomb capable of achieving a one-hit kill effect left, and it was the last one, reserved for himself, not to be easily used unless absolutely necessary.

Once there's a need to use it, it means there's no retreat, and he must pull his opponent along with him on a mutual annihilation path.

Seasoned on the battlefield, having faced life-and-death several times, he no longer recklessly fired Element Annihilation Bombs like when he first stepped into society.

Moreover, this puppet Fire Dragon under the control of the Sagali doesn't merit wasting the last Element Annihilation Bomb. Chen Fei hoped more to rely on conventional weapons to kill the opponent.

It's not like the lack of Element Annihilation Bombs made killing a dragon impossible; with the right opportunity, even conventional weapons can cause lethal damage.

"Roar!~"

The enraged Fire Dragon roared out of the pit, just about to take flight, when dense rockets descended from the sky, unceremoniously pelting its head and face.

To cause its ruin, one must first drive it mad.

Chen Fei didn't jump straight in with full firepower but instead alternated between various weapons to probe this Fire Dragon, to see what kind of combat abilities it had gained from the Parasitic Species.

Unfortunately, from the sound of its furious roar, it could be analyzed that this Fire Dragon wasn't parasitized but directly "controlled".

It was, after all, an intelligent species that had evolved for around 110,000 years, and even if the civilization foundation wasn't solid, it was likely capable of achieving non-parasitic control if parasitic control was possible.

A barrage of random rockets rained down, the explosive impact forcing the Fire Dragon back into the pit. The poor pit suffered a second impact, becoming larger and deeper.

Satellite and reconnaissance UAV footage came back, showing Chen Fei's Mechanical Dragon continuously launching attacks, pummeling the Fire Dragon, rendering it powerless. The heart of the S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown gradually calmed down, muttering to himself, "That Fire Dragon doesn't seem that strong!"

Such a mighty dragon, seemingly being beaten into submission like a dog.

As Mr. Brown was ridiculing, a massive fire pillar suddenly erupted, unheralded, directly targeting the Mechanical Dragon several kilometers away.

An invisible protective barrier stood in front of the Mechanical Dragon, and the flame pillar instantly transformed into countless fire rains, fluttering across the sky.

Though the Mechanical Dragon lacked the ability to cast spells, it didn't mean it had no means to defend against spell attacks.

"Indeed, a mere pawn!"

Chen Fei gently pushed the control lever, and the Mechanical Dragon immediately escaped the fire pillar's impact, swung its Blade Wing, launching a ton-level Thermobaric Bomb, while darting into the distance, further increasing the distance, and at the same time, turned its head, opened its fanged mouth, from which a blue-white particle beam shot out.

As a directional energy Particle Beam, it was also one of the weapons able to pose a lethal threat to dragons.

In atmospheric battles, the particle beam has a better destructive effect compared to lasers and other directional energy beams, with its puncturing power manifesting almost instantly, not requiring prolonged exposure.

The fierce explosion just erupted, and the Particle Beam followed closely.

The Fire Dragon, naturally immune to flames and high temperatures, was unaffected by the high temperatures of the Thermobaric Bomb, which could melt rock and steel, but Chen Fei's intended tactical effect was not the temperature, but the explosiveness of the shockwave.

The instant impact was enough to plunge the dragon into a temporary state of dizziness and incapacitation; even the most resilient scales and robust-bodied dragons were bound to be affected to some extent by such a weapon. For Chen Fei, such a brief moment was already sufficient.

The blue-white Particle Beam penetrated the lingering smoke and also penetrated the dragon's wings and body.

"Roar!~"

The dragon roared with rage and surprise beneath the rising mushroom-shaped smoke cloud.

"Was it controlled by the Parasitic Species until it lost its senses?"

Chen Fei assessed the battle outcome but did not feel that he had achieved victory.
