"Ah!"
Kurohime's face contorted in pain.
The destruction of the puppets affected her, and in this situation, the pain was more than tenfold.
"They're starting to die."
Aoki dared not delay any longer and charged forward again.
Kurohime's puppets, except for Destagur, were all utterly vulnerable against the Tyrant Dragon.
To defeat the Tyrant Dragon, everyone's strength had to be fully utilized.
The puppets couldn't be allowed to die in vain.
Even with Aoki's help, the puppets continued to die.
However, they had still played a role. The Tyrant Dragon's injuries were also increasing.
Boom!
A cloud of fire rose, engulfing one puppet, turning it into a charred mess.
Aoki dodged the Tyrant Dragon's claws, creating distance, and glanced around.
"Only three puppets left."
Although these three were the strongest, including Destagur, they were all injured.
In fact, he had been injured more often, but he had recovered.
"If this continues..."
Aoki turned to look at the Tyrant Dragon.
Although it had many wounds, none of them were fatal.
This couldn't drag on any longer!
Even if it couldn't kill it, it had to inflict truly impactful injuries.
"Roar!"
The Tyrant Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a massive ball of red energy, transforming into fireballs the size of basketballs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fireballs landed, rapidly expanding, like hundreds of cannons firing simultaneously.
Aoki's eyes narrowed; instead of retreating, he advanced.
This attack, seemingly terrifying, posed no threat to him.
As long as he wasn't at the center of the explosion, the flames wouldn't harm him.
And after unleashing an attack of this magnitude, the Tyrant Dragon would inevitably need a brief respite.
This was a good opportunity!
Aoki quickly approached the Tyrant Dragon.
The Tyrant Dragon hadn't overlooked Aoki; it had already realized that among the enemies, this little creature was the most threatening.
It slightly shifted its body, its thick tail sweeping towards Aoki with a sharp whistling sound.
Although its body was enormous and its movements not particularly agile, the Tyrant Dragon's combat skills were excellent, making full use of every part of its body.
Tyrande's muscles, after being crafted into Imperial Arms, could survive for over a thousand years.
These Super Dangerous Beasts have lived for countless years and are intimately familiar with combat.
Aoki had already witnessed the power of the Tyrant Dragon's tail whip and dared not take it head-on, preparing to dodge.
Just then, another figure suddenly rushed out, covered in burns, and charged without hesitation into the Tyrant Dragon's tail.
Aoki recognized it as one of Kurome's most prized dolls, a companion she and her sister Akame had grown up with.
Bang!
The doll's arm shattered upon impact with the thick tail, and its sternum collapsed completely.
However, the Tyrant Dragon's tail also slowed down.
Aoki didn't waste this precious opportunity. He slightly bent his knees, and with a boom, his body soared into the sky.
In close combat, the Bat Wings were not suitable.
Although the Bat Wings were quite agile, they were still far from his own agility.
Moreover, the Bat Wings were too large, needlessly increasing the area he could be attacked.
Aoki stepped on the Tyrant Dragon's body, rapidly increasing his height, and in the blink of an eye, he was level with the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head.
The Tyrant Dragon's head was covered in wounds, two of which were particularly deep, having pierced the skull.
These were all his handiwork.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eight whip-like blades flew out, piercing the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head, but none were deep enough to penetrate the bone.
The Tyrant Dragon opened its mouth.
A hint of madness flashed in Aoki's eyes.
He hadn't been threatened in a long time, but when it came to fighting, he never lacked courage.
His spirit seemed to become more focused, and streams of power surged forth, coursing through his limbs and bones.
An indomitable will!
This was the first time this skill had been activated since he learned it.
Back then, Muzan Kibutsuji hadn't put any pressure on him at all.
Boom!
Red energy slammed into him, expanding into a massive flame that engulfed Aoki.
But the next moment, he burst out of the flames, his surface charred black.
His skin was completely charred, the flames had burned through his muscles and seeped into his body, roasting his internal organs.
Aoki didn't even glance at it, staring intently at the Tyrant Dragon, and then swung his body.
The bone whip sliced through the air with a soft "thud," its blade plunging into one of the two deepest wounds, slicing open a gash several centimeters long in the Tyrant Dragon's head.
Through the wound, one could see the white brain and a silver bead.
"A bead? What's that?"
Aoki paused, but his movements were swift; the whip lashed out, instantly piercing the Tyrant Dragon's brain.
"Roar!"
The Tyrant Dragon suddenly let out a deafening roar, whipping its head and opening its blood-red maw to bite at Aoki.
Bat wings unfurled, and Aoki's figure instantly soared into the air. His whip, gleaming from the Tyrant Dragon's head, coiled around the silver bead.
Ignoring the disgusting brain matter, Aoki grabbed the silver bead, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Could this be...?"
Whoosh!
Before he could ponder further, a sharp whistling sound reached his ears. Looking up, he saw a colossal creature, resembling a pterosaur with a wingspan exceeding fifty meters, rapidly approaching.
Aoki frowned.
He had been very careful, ensuring he hadn't crossed any boundaries, not even getting close.
Therefore, the answer was obvious.
The Tyrant Dragon had no martial ethics; if it couldn't win, it would call for help.
Aoki immediately recalled the Tyrant Dragon's earlier roar.
He had thought there was a clear territorial division among the three, but it turned out to be just a facade.
Aoki glanced at the Tyrant Dragon.
Although its head was pierced and the whip had churned inside its brain, it was still alive and well, showing no signs of dying.
Aoki wasn't particularly surprised.
Tyrande's muscles could live for a thousand years; how could a Super Dangerous Species die so easily?
However, he was certain that while the Tyrant Dragon wasn't dead, it had suffered significant damage, and crucially, it had a huge vital point.
If the battle continued, he was confident he could kill it.
But…
glancing at the rapidly approaching Super Pteranodon, Aoki decisively flew towards Kurohime.
Another unharmed Super Dangerous Species had appeared, and another could easily follow.
Meanwhile, their side had suffered heavy casualties, with only two combat-ready puppets remaining.
This team battle was no longer viable.
They had to retreat.
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound exploded behind him. Aoki glanced at it, his expression changing slightly.
Huge wind blades were hurtling towards him at incredible speed.
Too fast!
He wouldn't die, but his progress would definitely be slowed.
More importantly…
Aoki looked at the silver bead in his hand.
Once lost, he didn't know if he'd ever have a chance to get it back.
What to do?
Just then, a tall shadow suddenly appeared, blocking Aoki's path.
Destagur opened its mouth, and countless blue energies erupted, unleashing their power recklessly.
The wind blades were instantly destroyed, and the entire sky was dyed blue.
The Tyrant Dragon retreated a few steps, and the Pteranodon stopped its dive.
The attacks of the two super-dangerous species ceased simultaneously.
But a few seconds later, Destagur's aura plummeted.
Without hesitation, Aoki rushed to Kurohime, picked her up, and quickly dashed into the jungle.
"What do we do now?"
Kurohime's delicate face was deathly pale.
The plan to hunt the super-dangerous species had failed, and her puppets were almost completely lost.
Did they still have a chance to escape?
Aoki didn't answer, glancing back first
Thankfully!
The super-pteranodon hadn't caught up.
Although its massive size wasn't suited for navigating the forest, its speed and attacks were terrifying. If it were to catch up, it would still cause them considerable trouble.
Aoki looked down at the silver bead in his hand. It was the size of an egg, warm to the touch, a perfectly spherical shape, with a smooth, flawless surface.
It resembled a giant pearl.
At first glance, he sensed a strong spatial fluctuation emanating from the silver bead.
This was very likely the culprit interfering with his "spatial travel"!
For the past few days, he had been searching for the source of the spatial fluctuation interference, but to no avail. Hidden inside the head of a super-dangerous creature, it was impossible to find it.
If he wasn't mistaken, destroying this silver bead should eliminate the spatial fluctuation interference.
Without it, he could directly use "spatial imprint travel" to leave.
This was why he hadn't hesitated to abandon the fight.
Aoki's fingers twitched.
Although he didn't know exactly what this silver bead was, it was undoubtedly a spatial treasure.
Spatial treasures, there shouldn't be any junk in these.
Aoki's hand tightened suddenly.
Crack!
The silver bead shattered into pieces.
