Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up Chapter 1145 - Destroying His Spirit

The Death Spirit Dragon rested upon the frigid, unyielding ground, its blood-smeared jaws locked firmly around the carcass of the fallen Giant Crag Dragon.

Every snap and crunch of bone echoed outward, radiating a bone-chilling dread that seemed to tremble through the very foundation of the world.

It was a gruesome vision, a grotesque feast where the Death Spirit Dragon indulged itself in the flesh of the Giant Crag Dragon.

Its lethal, hook-like claws plunged deep into the hardened hide of its prey, effortlessly tearing open raw, gaping wounds. Its razor-edged teeth shredded the muscles of the Giant Crag Dragon into a thousand unrecognizable strips.

For a fleeting interval, the atmosphere was a chaotic whirlwind of flying gore and blood, the air filled with the thick, metallic stench of slaughter—a sickening sensation that clung to the senses.

Time seemed to draw thin during this harrowing feeding ritual. The Death Spirit Dragon displayed no satiety, relentlessly stripping the Giant Crag Dragon of every scrap of meat.

The scattered remnants and pooling blood transformed the surrounding landscape into a grim, crimson sea of carnage.

Finally, after an eternity of brutal consumption, the Death Spirit Dragon ceased its savage work, appearing fully satisfied.

Its muzzle was coated in vibrant, dark blood, and its belly bulged like an unsightly, overstuffed sack. The creature emanated an aura of terrifying, predatory ferocity.

With a mere thought, Lu Yu summoned the Death Spirit Dragon back, making preparations to return to Jasper City.

The journey back proved swift for Lu Yu, and he soon navigated behind the protective city walls. Upon arriving at the residence of the City Lord, he headed straight for the dungeon entrance.

Zhao Qingya was waiting at the threshold, taking advantage of the crisp air. Seeing Lu Yu, she rushed toward him, her tone thick with concern. “Lu Yu, what is the status? Has the threat been neutralized?”

“It is finished,” Lu Yu answered casually. “He possessed a Giant Crag Dragon, a creature as vast as a mountain. Fortunately, I managed to put it down.”

“You make it sound so trivial. I cannot even fathom the power that beast wielded. Accompany me; that man remains incredibly stubborn.”

Leading the way, Zhao Qingya walked down the stairs. Once she reached the door, she drew a sharp breath and proceeded into the depths of the dungeon.

The pair arrived at the cell housing Kane, where the flickering candlelight cast long, weak shadows. Lu Yu fixed his glare upon the prisoner. “It is all over now. Do you truly still intend to defy us?”

“What?” Kane whipped his head up. “Finished? It has not even truly started! My dragon has not reached us yet, but it is on its way. It shall shatter your city walls and bring ruin to everything within. Only by granting my release can you prevent this monster’s rampage. Otherwise, you are merely waiting for your own annihilation.”

He sneered with arrogant contempt, his voice dripping with poisonous spite.

Lu Yu shook his head, releasing a shallow sigh. “The Giant Crag Dragon you summoned is already deceased. Can you not perceive it?”

“It is understandable,” he continued, “given how far away it was. It makes sense that you have not felt the connection break. Now that your beast is gone, perhaps you might be more inclined to share the secrets you hold.”

Kane’s eyes flew wide, locked onto Lu Yu. “Impossible! You lie! My dragon could not have fallen to someone like you. You only seek to deceive me. I will not be fooled by such falsehoods!”

He bellowed, his face turning puce with fury.

“Still refusing to surrender, are you? How many times must this be explained? You are all finished. It would be wise to surrender now. Otherwise, your destiny is already sealed!”

His voice thundered, his face twisted into a mask of pure rage.

Lu Yu chuckled at the display. “How entertaining. Have you lost your sanity? I suspect you are acutely aware of the truth by now. Your commitment to this charade is almost impressive.”

“However, enough is enough,” Lu Yu added, his eyes turning cold and sharp. “It is time for you to confront the truth. And I shall be your guide.”

At that moment, Lin Yuan hurried over. “Lu Yu, let it be. This sort of filthy, taxing work should fall to the underlings. There is no need for you to dirty your own hands.”

He felt profound gratitude toward Lu Yu for the destruction of the Giant Crag Dragon.

Lu Yu waved a hand, dismissing the offer. “It is fine. Let me handle it. It will be much faster.”

He stepped inside the cell.

Kane glared up at him. “Keep dreaming. I will never speak a word. You shall never uncover our next movements.”

“If you are truly strong enough, just kill me. Do not squander your time here. Otherwise, I will find the moment to exact my revenge!”

His tone was filled with a menacing, dark promise.

Lu Yu shook his head, speaking with serene calm. “Do not be so agitated. I will assist you in coming to terms with reality.”

“However, I must first transport you into a realm of illusion.”

Raising his right hand, he extended a single finger and tapped it against Kane’s forehead.

In an instant, Lu Yu’s hand shifted into the Nightmare Dragon Claw. The violet claw pulsed with an eerie radiance that flowed directly into Kane’s consciousness.

Immediately, Kane was struck by a daze. He collapsed to the floor, his eyes glazing over, his spirit appearing to drain away entirely.

A grim smile traced Lu Yu's mouth. “Give it a moment. He will naturally collapse into a state of mental ruin, losing his cognitive defenses.”

Within the depths of Kane’s mind, he crouched beneath an expansive banyan tree, gently stroking a soft kitten. A young girl with flowing blonde hair and bright blue eyes skipped toward him, her face full of radiant innocence.

Kane turned to her, a genuine, warm smile surfacing on his face. “Look, isn’t it adorable?”

He held the small cat up for her to see.

“Brother, where did you find such a cute kitten?”

“Hehe, you have always wanted one, have you not? Let us keep this one and raise it together.”

The girl nodded with enthusiasm. “I think it is hurt. Let us find something to bandage it.”

“Right, let us head home!”

Just as they prepared to depart, the kitten in his arms suddenly ballooned in scale. In a heartbeat, it morphed into a monstrous entity with a terrifying, hideous face.

Roar!

A hulking human-like monster, its frame draped in obsidian fur, appeared before them. Its massive maw, lined with jagged, lethal teeth, lunged toward the girl.

Panic overwhelmed Kane as he threw himself forward, shrieking, “Run!”

Crack!

The monster’s jaws slammed shut, and the girl’s form vanished into its throat.

“Ah!”

Kane clutched his skull in agony, hitting his knees as a heart-wrenching scream tore from his throat.

Back in the cell, Kane mirrored his internal torment, clawing at his own head and howling in absolute despair.

Lin Yuan and Zhao Qingya watched the scene with confusion, failing to understand what was occurring.

“What… what is going on with him?” Lin Yuan asked, his voice trembling with uncertainty.

Lu Yu turned to him. “His mind is unraveling by the second. Soon, his final mental safeguards will shatter.”

“I never imagined you possessed such a formidable technique…” Zhao Qingya commented, her eyes wide with astonishment as she gazed at Lu Yu.
