Chapter 1016: So Many Surprises on the Opportunity Battlefield
No one knew who exactly this girl in blue was.
The only thing certain was her identity as a Dragonkin.
After all, unless you were blind, you could clearly see she had entered a semi-draconic state.
In this world of class advancement, whether Eastern or Western dragons, they were all beings deeply proficient in supreme magic.
Not only were they immune to powerful magic attacks, but they could also absorb the energy to unleash even stronger power.
Even a magic god of the same tier couldn't hurt them.
The only way to stop a Dragonkin from absorbing energy was through physical attacks.
But dragon scales were naturally top-tier armor.
An adult dragon's scales had defensive power equivalent to a sacred artifact.
And for those with higher-ranked bloodlines, their scales were comparable to high-star sacred artifacts.
A dragon's claws were also natural sacred weapons, capable of immense destruction.
The same went for their fangs—capable of biting through almost anything.
That's why people said everything about a dragon was valuable.
Dragon scales, claws, and fangs were top-tier crafting materials for sacred artifacts.
Their flesh and blood were also prized ingredients for alchemy and potions.
Right now—
The strength this girl in blue was displaying made it clear she wasn't an ordinary Dragonkin.
Realizing this, the eyes of nearby Professionals burned with greed.
Right now, they had the advantage in numbers.
They were originally fighting each other.
But now it seemed this girl in blue was a more precious prize than any opportunity.
If they could take her down, they could claim her dragon blood, flesh, fangs, scales, and claws.
With that thought—
The Professionals exchanged glances, each seeing greed and desire in the others' eyes.
Clearly, profit moved the heart.
Just a look, and their alliance was sealed.
"Everyone! Let's kill this monster together!"
"Then we'll fight for the loot!"
A Professional shouted.
"Kill!!"
The Professionals were completely tempted.
Besides…
This Dragonkin girl was a major obstacle!
Next moment—
Buzz buzz buzz!!
Countless powerful passives and skills surged into effect.
The magical elements across the battlefield went berserk.
"Time to end this..."
Watching the Professionals prepare to unleash their skills, a cold glint flashed in Meng Shuang's eyes.
She pressed her palms together.
And then—
Rumble rumble!!
Before the stunned Professionals, thick dark clouds rapidly gathered overhead.
Within the clouds seemed to lie a thunder pool, radiating paralyzing thunder energy.
Judging by the pressure, the storm clouds were far more terrifying than anything the Professionals were casting below.
Even more outrageous...
Seconds later, a massive green thunderball dropped from the clouds.
The devastating energy it contained made even the Level 180 Professionals feel death approaching.
The contrast between their magic and that thunderball was stark.
Even the bystanders far from the battlefield could clearly feel the gap in power.
Yeah…
These wilderness-running Professionals were just average.
Which made sense.
They didn't have many high-level skills to begin with.
Most of these 100+ level Professionals only had one or two SS-tier skills, not counting passive awakenings from their fourth class advancement.
Most of the skills they were using were A-tier or some S-tier—almost no SS-tier in sight.
The reason was simple…
SS-tier skills had long cooldowns.
And with so many allies around, who'd be dumb enough to use their trump cards now?
Except…
Even if they used them, it'd be useless now.
One look at that thunderball told them even their ultimate moves couldn't match it.
"What the..."
The Professionals who were about to attack the Dragonkin girl were stunned.
"Why are you just standing there?!"
"Run!!"
One scream of panic—
—snapped everyone out of it.
"RUN!!"
The Professionals who'd just planned to gang up on her scattered like bugs.
"Heh..."
"Greedy trash. Think running now will save you?"
Meng Shuang sneered.
Then she gently waved her delicate hand.
The thunderball in the sky plummeted.
BOOM!!
The moment the colossal green thunderball hit the ground—
The entire Opportunity Island shook violently!
The devastating lightning surged in all directions!
It spread with terrifying speed.
Though many Professionals had already used movement skills to flee, they still got blasted to death.
Only those with teleportation items managed to activate them in time, blinking back to the Opportunity Town and escaping death.
But even they looked pale and shaken.
That was the closest they'd ever come to dying!
As for those who failed to escape—they were dead.
That terrifying thunder didn't just destroy the body—it obliterated the soul.
"A monster! She's a goddamn monster!"
"Why is there a monster like this on Opportunity Island?!"
Sweat poured down the backs of Professionals.
"Wait, weren't you at the southern battlefield? How'd you get back here?"
Many noticed their comrades also teleporting back.
"Don't even ask! A girl in a fiery red dress showed up at the southern field and started beating the crap out of us! We couldn't even fight back!"
"All we could do was run. Anyone who fought back either ran or died."
His comrade gave a bitter laugh.
"Huh?"
"And you? Weren't you on the northern battlefield?"
Another asked curiously.
"Don't ask. I'm pissed too!"
"A girl in blue showed up on our side too!"
"It was insane! One thunderball nearly wiped everyone out. Lucky I used my teleport item in time!"
The Professional looked seriously upset.
He'd had a real shot at claiming some loot today.
But no one could've predicted this mess.
"I heard the eastern battlefield got wrecked too..."
"They say a Golden Crow hatchling swept through it."
"What? That's insane!"
"It was insane!"
"Seriously..."
"What the hell's going on today? Why so many surprises on the Opportunity Battlefield?!"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?!"
