"Roar! Roar! Roar…!"
Seeing that Ethan didn't believe her, Seraphina grew anxious, roaring repeatedly as if to say, Master, you have to trust me! It's not that I look down on them—it's just that all wild units are trash!
"Uh… You're that confident?"
Understanding Seraphina's urgency, Ethan quickly nodded and spoke. "Alright then… go for it. Just be careful. Don't get hurt."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan flipped off Seraphina's back and leaped straight to the ground.
In the game, he was already a Purple Epic Hero. Even though he was only level 1, jumping from 60 feet in the air was no big deal. Not even a challenge!
"Roar! Roar…"
Hearing Ethan's words, a hint of warmth and affection flashed through Seraphina's eyes.
Then, with a mighty dragon's roar, she whoosh—unfurled her massive Green Dragon wings, flapped them powerfully, and soared toward the strongest enemy on the battlefield—an 8-Tier Greater Basilisk!
[Greater Basilisk]
Tier: 8-Tier Wild Unit
Attack: 48
Defense: 48
HP: 1600
Damage: 32~48
Speed: 8
Special Ability: Petrification (A level 3 neutral skill with a chance to turn enemies to stone)
"Hiss… hiss… hiss…"
Sensing the incoming danger, the dozens of Greater Basilisks let out terrified screeches.
The difference in Tier created an overwhelming natural suppression!
It was a fear that came from the depths of their souls!
"Roar! Roar! Roar…!"
A massive wave of dragon's might surged forth like an apocalyptic storm! It gathered behind Seraphina and then crashed down like a tsunami, instantly sending over ten Greater Basilisks staggering, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Boom!
A sharp sonic boom tore through the air.
From a distance, Ethan, who was watching closely, barely caught a glimpse of a blur—before the head of an 8-Tier Greater Basilisk exploded on the spot!
Instant kill.
"Holy shit… she's that strong?!"
Ethan was left utterly dumbfounded.
From what he could tell, a level 1 Seraphina and a fully grown Greater Basilisk didn't seem that different on paper. Sure, she had a bit more HP, and as a hero, she had more talents and skills…
But this just proved that in the world of Glory Lords X, battles weren't decided by stats alone!
Stats were just the foundation—they weren't everything!
Whoosh!
After her first strike, Seraphina didn't linger. She flapped her wings and soared back into the air, instantly pulling away from the enraged Greater Basilisks that were now charging toward her.
Green Dragons had wings. They could fly.
And in the sky, they were the undisputed rulers.
The Greater Basilisks? They had nothing.
They couldn't even get off the ground…
Which meant that from the very start, this battle was already lost for them.
Boom!
Seraphina struck again—one powerful swipe of her claws, and she ripped straight through two Greater Basilisks at once!
The sheer force of the impact carved deep trenches into the solid rock beneath them!
The fully grown Greater Basilisks were actually larger than Seraphina in her battle form.
But even so, their massive corpses still weren't enough to fill the deep trenches she had carved into the ground—they barely covered a fraction of the area.
That alone was enough to show just how terrifying the raw power in Seraphina's dragon claws truly was!
"Hiss… hiss… hiss…"
The enraged Greater Basilisks let out furious screeches.
At the same time, their eyes shimmered with a mysterious magical glow—before unleashing beams of petrifying energy straight at Seraphina!
Petrification!
But when the magic struck Seraphina, it did… absolutely nothing.
She completely ignored it.
Because the Greater Basilisks' petrification ability was a Tier 3 neutral magic skill—and as a Green Dragon Hero, Seraphina was naturally immune to all magic below Tier 4.
"Roar! Roar! Roar…!"
Seraphina let out a dominant dragon's roar.
At the same time, a brilliant dragon aura surged across her body, gathering at her mouth—before erupting into a terrifying dark green energy beam, blasting straight into the ranks of the Greater Basilisks below!
This was the Green Dragon's signature ability—Venomous Dragon Breath!
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss…!"
Agonized screeches filled the battlefield.
The Greater Basilisks' massive, muscular bodies began to rot away at an alarming rate—flesh melting, leaving behind horrifying gaping wounds and exposed white bones.
"Roar! Roar! Roar…!"
Seraphina let out another victorious roar.
Then, her entire body burst into a dazzling glow of dragon energy.
Her massive wings spread wide—like a divine being, blotting out the sky—before she dove straight down like a meteor!
BOOM!
A devastating shockwave exploded outward, spreading for miles—the sheer pressure alone was enough to make it hard to breathe.
And at that moment, as Seraphina descended upon the Greater Basilisk army, there wasn't a single one that could withstand even one of her attacks.
In just a few breaths' time, the remaining seven or eight fully grown Greater Basilisks were completely wiped out.
Not a single one left alive.
At the same time, Ethan's system notifications began flooding in.
"Congratulations, player 'Valkarion' has leveled up! Current level: 2! Attribute points gained: +2!"
"Congratulations, player 'Valkarion' has leveled up! Current level: 3!"
…
"Congratulations, player 'Valkarion' has leveled up! Current level: 11! Attribute points gained: +2!"
"Gulp…"
Ethan swallowed hard, his eyes wide with shock.
His entire worldview had just been shattered in this moment.
It felt like he was dreaming.
Weren't 8-Tier units supposed to be insanely strong?
Yet over ten of these massive, truck-sized monsters had just been instantly slaughtered by a baby dragon?!
What the hell…
Sure, Ethan knew that this world's Glory Lords X was nothing like the simple, turn-based strategy game from his past life on Earth…
But a level 1 baby dragon being this overpowered?!
This was just ridiculous!
Terrifying!
But before Ethan could even process his shock, Seraphina roared once more, flapped her wings, and soared into the sky again—this time, charging toward her next target.
And this time…
Her prey was a 6-Tier Cerberus!
