Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up Chapter 1143: 1143 Disaster Arrives

Kane’s declaration sent a cold shiver down Lin Yuan’s spine.

“The Giant Crag Dragon? That beast is essentially an evolved, more powerful version of a standard Crag Dragon. It possesses superior defense, a larger body, and a far more violent temperament.”

“If such a monstrous creature were to launch an assault, Jasper City would be leveled to the ground!”

Lin Yuan turned toward Lu Yu, his expression filled with desperation. “Lu Yu, I… I require your assistance once again.”

Lu Yu remained motionless, the silence hanging heavy between them.

Lin Yuan shifted his gaze to Zhao Qingya, silently begging for her intervention. “Mayor Zhao, you cannot simply stand by and watch us meet our end! Hundreds of thousands of souls reside in Jasper City; their very lives are in the balance. We cannot allow them to perish here!”

“We have yet to verify his claims,” Zhao Qingya retorted, her tone sharp with irritation. “Why are you spiraling into such panic?”

“That may be true, but if his words hold weight and we ignore them, would we not be held responsible for the catastrophe?” Lin Yuan pressed, his voice strained and trembling.

Zhao Qingya exhaled in defeat. “Lu Yu, assist us one final time. Once we neutralize this ultimate threat, the matter will be concluded. We can then depart for the capital.”

“Understood, let us proceed. However, I demand that staff,” Lu Yu replied, keeping his eyes locked on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan faltered for a heartbeat. “Very well, it is yours. That item is trivial when weighed against the survival of Jasper City.”

Lu Yu offered a faint smile. “That is all I required to hear. I shall assist you, but the staff is mine.”

He marched toward the exit, his resolve hardened.

“If a Giant Crag Dragon is indeed approaching, I will intercept it and return shortly. Continue your interrogation. I am departing now.”

With a brief wave to Zhao Qingya, Lu Yu headed toward the ground.

Unfurling his dragon wings, he ascended into the sky and vanished from the city in an instant.

Swoosh!

He darted forward, leaving the sprawling city structures behind as he reached the open plains. Before long, deep tremors began to ripple beneath him.

A vast expanse of grassland stretched out before his eyes, with a churning sandstorm swelling on the horizon. The wind roared, whipping up dust and grit into a suffocating, colossal tide that choked the sky.

This massive dust cloud looked like a furious golden dragon, surging ahead with overwhelming power.

As the storm descended, the tranquil plains were plunged into shadow. Debris filled the air, concealing the sun, making it appear as though the world were drowning in an infinite ocean of sand.

Amidst this turmoil, the blurred outline of a titan emerged. It moved like a mountain, its sheer stature forcing a sense of awe upon any onlooker.

Lu Yu hovered in the air, his eyes tracking the terrain below. Small villages appeared as tiny specks, their residents fleeing in a frantic, uncoordinated scramble.

Their only refuge was Jasper City, yet compared to the gargantuan beast approaching, the city looked alarmingly fragile.

The city's fortifications would undoubtedly collapse under a solitary charge from this behemoth. Its ruin was a foregone conclusion.

If the Giant Crag Dragon remained unchallenged, it would erase everything in its path. Structures, society, and lives—every trace of them would be wiped away by the coming carnage.

Lu Yu unsheathed his Star Piercing Demonic Sword. Currents of wind swirled around the blade as razor-sharp sword energy began to accumulate.

With a swift, powerful motion, he released a blade of sword aura directly at the Giant Crag Dragon.

Swoosh!

The attack from the Star-Piercing Demonic Sword cut through the air, striking with lethal, pinpoint accuracy.

Bang!

The sword aura collided with the armor of the Giant Crag Dragon’s head, the echoing impact ringing out across the plains.

Dust shifted to reveal the beast's skull. Lu Yu’s heart sank; the sword energy had failed to inflict any meaningful damage. Only a few minor fissures marred the head armor, insignificant when measured against the monster's titanic frame.

Lu Yu breathed deeply. This creature would not be easily subdued.

Slaying such a massive entity would be no small feat, yet Lu Yu retained the tactical advantage.

Its lumbering size and sluggish movement meant it could not strike him directly. Its destruction was reserved for immobile targets like Jasper City; it lacked the speed required to challenge him.

Therefore, destroying the Giant Crag Dragon before it reached the city was a manageable task. The real difficulty lay in its immense size and nearly impenetrable defense.

He decided to summon the Void Evil Blade. With both divine artifacts in hand, Lu Yu felt certain he could overcome its defensive plating.

Wielding the Star Piercing Demonic Sword, he tore a rift in reality, bridging the gap to the vast unknown.

An eruption of searing flame poured forth—a torrent over a hundred meters in length—crashing down onto the Giant Crag Dragon below.

Feeling the intense heat, the Giant Crag Dragon thrashed its head in an attempt to evade. It seemed to recognize the futility of its efforts, however, and resigned itself to continuing its slow, inexorable march.

Observing this, Lu Yu immediately brandished the Void Evil Blade.

Swoosh!

A dark, amethyst fissure solidified in the air, allowing the Void Serpent to emerge from the Void World.

The humongous serpent erupted from the space-time tear, its wide mouth lined with jagged spikes as it lunged at the Crag Dragon.

It sank its fangs into the neck of the dragon, but the sturdy scales embedded themselves into the serpent’s teeth, preventing them from piercing deeper and thwarting any real damage.

Undiscouraged, the Void Serpent wrapped its muscular coils around the Giant Crag Dragon, tightening its hold with increasing force. The pressure caused spiderweb-like cracks to propagate across the dragon’s natural armor.

The Giant Crag Dragon let out a howl of agony, a sound so violent it shook the earth and sent all local beasts fleeing in terror.

Lu Yu surveyed the battlefield. While victory remained a challenge, the Void Serpent had successfully halted the beast's advance.

He considered bringing forth his Death Spirit Dragon, knowing that a single hit of Undead Fire could melt the armor and deal lethal damage, potentially ending the conflict instantly.

“It is still quite a distance from Jasper City,” Lu Yu reminded himself, noting the time he had to spare. “There is no need for haste.”
