100: Chapter 100? The dragon is the easiest to defeat?

On the other side, in a valley on the west side of the ruins, five dragons lay on the gravel ground.

Three of them were covered in scars with large chunks missing from their wings, sleeping as they recovered.

The other two had their golden vertical pupils open, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

A blonde youth sat beside the front claw of the largest dragon, scrolling through channel messages.

James.

He saw the name "Xu Qin" and frowned.

"The Undead Race?"

He pulled up the previous channel records and quickly scanned through them.

One against thirteen. Floating City.

"Hmm... interesting."

James looked up at his three injured dragons.

All three were still recovering and would need at least two more days of rest before they could enter a fight.

Only two were currently able to fight.

"The Undead Race's bones don't even have meat when you break them; dragons can't eat them."

James closed the channel and leaned against the dragon's claw.

"Boring. There's no reward for winning either."

"As long as they don't come bother me, it's fine."

...

On the south side of the ruins, inside a white stone camp, twelve winged humanoid creatures stood in formation, radiating a pale golden light.

In the center of the camp, an ordinary-looking youth was reading the channel.

Chen Wei, Lord of the Angel Race.

"The Undead Race?"

After reading Xu Qin's post, he closed the panel expressionlessly.

"Doesn't matter."

Chen Wei looked at his Angel legion.

He had seen the Undead Race before and had fought them too.

A pile of bone frames; just smash them to pieces and that's it.

"Forget a Floating City, even if he brought a Star Destroyer, one round of Holy Light cleansing from my twelve angels would turn all those skeletons into ash."

He continued to close his eyes and rest.

...

On the north side of the ruins, in a cluster of black tents, Samuel, Lord of the Demon Hunter Race, was resting with his eyes closed.

His guard hero ran in to report.

"Boss, there's an Undead Lord piloting a Floating City who has arrived nearby; his strength doesn't look weak."

Samuel didn't even lift his head.

"A Floating City? That guy named Xu Qin? Oh~"

"Ah, I remember now. Just an Undead Lord who wiped out thirteen pieces of trash."

Samuel stood up with a look of disgust.

"What's the point of fighting the Undead Race? A pile of bone scraps without even a soul; my Demon Hunter chains can't bind anything."

"Killing him is a complete waste of time."

"Let him stay outside; as long as he doesn't get in the way, it's fine."

"Understood."

The hero exited the tent.

...

Unexpectedly, the three strongest Lords shared an identical attitude toward the Undead Race.

That was to treat them with disdain and not bother with them.

But none of them knew that while they were saying these things, deep underground, directly beneath the Floating City, two thousand +260 reinforced Skeleton Sand Rats were tunneling toward the ruins at triple speed.

The Sand Rats were extremely small, and the tunnels they dug were less than ten centimeters in diameter.

Yet, the depth reached thirty meters.

This depth was far beyond the scouting range of any Lord.

Half a day later.

The first batch of Sand Rats arrived beneath the Dragon Race camp.

The second batch burrowed beneath the Angel Race camp.

The third batch snuck beneath the Demon Hunter Race camp.

Many Sand Rats quietly crept to the surface, observed their surroundings, and began transmitting information back.

Xu Qin opened his panel, and three detailed unit data reports popped up simultaneously.

"Finally!"

He hurriedly opened the first report.

[Dragon Race · James]

Dragons × 5 (Currently combat-ready: 2, Recovering: 3)

Individual Panel (Based on combat-ready units):

Attack Power: 2650 (Physical - Bite/Fire)

Defense: 890

HP: 185000 / 185000

Racial Passive · Dragon Blood Regeneration: Recovers 0.5% of max HP per second after leaving combat. Recovers 1% every 30 seconds during combat.

Racial Passive · Dragon Scale Protection: Physical damage taken reduced by 35%.

Skill 2: Dragon Wing Sweep (Radius 8m, 1800 physical damage + knockback)

Skill 3: Dragon Might Suppression (Passive Aura, radius 30m, enemy attack -20%, movement speed -25%)

How much?

One hundred eighty-five thousand?

Hiss...

Xu Qin gasped.

One hundred eighty-five thousand HP.

Plus 35% physical damage reduction.

The effective HP is close to three hundred thousand.

Plus health regeneration in combat, recovering one thousand eight hundred and fifty every 30 seconds.

"Is this a damn BOSS?"

Xu Qin rubbed his temples.

But he quickly noticed the key information.

Combat-ready: 2 units.

Recovering: 3 units.

"Only two of the five dragons can fight, that's manageable..."

[Angel Race · Chen Wei]

Holy Light Angel × 12

Individual Panel:

Attack Power: 1450 (Holy Light - True Damage/Ranged)

Defense: 620

HP: 48000 / 48000

Skill 1: Holy Judgment (Single-target true damage 3200, cooldown 8s)

Skill 3: Healing Light (AOE heal, radius 10m, recovers 800 HP per second for 5 seconds, cooldown 25s)

After reading this, Xu Qin's face turned green.

Everything was true damage that ignored defense.

Plus, they were immune to negative status effects and curses.

They could even revive once in place after dying.

After reviving and killing them again, they would come back to life after 24 hours.

"...Is this race even reasonable?"

Xu Qin took a deep breath and opened the third report.

[Demon Hunter Race · Samuel]

Chain-Mail Demon Hunter × 40

Individual Panel:

Attack Power: 680 (Physical - Chain Blade/Dark Energy)

Defense: 410

HP: 32000 / 32000

Racial Passive · Demon Hunter Instinct: Deals 50% extra damage to any target with magical attributes.

Racial Passive · Demonic Energy Devour: Absorbs 5% of target's mana upon hit (if no mana, absorbs 3% HP) and converts it into self-healing.

Skill 1: Soul-Lock Chain (Single-target control, chains entangle the target for 6 seconds; target cannot cast spells or move, cooldown 15s)

Skill 2: Hunter's Mark (Marks target, marked target takes +40% damage for 10 seconds)

Skill 3: Chain Execution (6 consecutive attacks within 3 seconds, each hit deals 150% damage, cooldown 20s)

Xu Qin finished reading the three sets of data, closed the panel, and slumped directly onto his bone throne.

"..."

After a full thirty seconds, he finally opened his mouth to curse:

"Damn it, they're all monsters."

"One more monstrous than the next."

The Dragon Race relies on pure numerical suppression.

Thick health, high defense, explosive attack power, and they even come with self-healing; they can steamroll everything just by relying on their physical bodies.

The Angel Race uses a true damage system.

It doesn't matter how high you stack your defense; I deal true damage, so your defense is equal to zero.

The most disgusting part is that they're unkillable; you kill them, they revive, and after they revive, they can revive again.

Unless you steamroll their base, it's all for nothing.

The Demon Hunter Race has the largest numbers and the most balanced individual stats.

Forty Demon Hunters, combined with the Soul-Lock Chain and Hunter's Mark, have extremely strong focused-fire capability, plus high lifesteal sustain.

These three factions can keep each other in check; the logic is very clear.

The Dragon Race counters the Demon Hunter Race; the dragons have too much health, the Demon Hunters' output isn't enough, and since dragons have no mana, Demonic Energy Devour only absorbs 3% HP.

The Angel Race counters the Dragon Race; true damage ignores the dragons' 35% scale damage reduction, dealing direct damage to their health.

12 angels focusing fire on one dragon can grind it to death in a few rounds.

The Demon Hunter Race counters the Angel Race; Soul-Lock Chain controls the angels for an instant kill combo, and Demon Hunter Instinct deals 50% extra damage to the angels' Holy Light attribute.

Although angels can revive, the Demon Hunters have numbers on their side, enough to kill them twice.

The three parties mutually counter each other; none of them can devour the others.

But after Xu Qin looked at the three data reports and studied them repeatedly for a long time, he speechlessy reached a conclusion.

The easiest one to fight, surprisingly, is James...
