BXBX NOVEL Chapter 950: Taking A Short Rest
I ended activating not only Blood King\'s Throne again, but also Call of the Night, which worked essentially very similar, requiring a sacrifice of a large quantity of Dark attribute Ki and Mana to conjure an endless domain of darkness and shadows, which I could manipulate without limits.
With both of these activated, I blocked the path for the Mithril Dragonoids, humanoid-like dragons of over seven to twelve meters of height that wielded metallic weapons and armor, and the Three-Headed Venomous Viper Drakes, deadly A+++ Rank Dragons the Mithril Dragonoids tamed and used as powerful mounts.
There was a whole tribe of these much more intelligent dragon monsters, but it was all the same for us. There was no need for further strategies, our strength was enough to overwhelm them even with their gigantic numbers.
My army of Mithril Drakes, Fairies, and other Familiars together amassed for thousands even as less than three hundred, and with my Vampire Spirits, Unique Familiars, Tamed Monsters, and my friends, this became as easy as it can get.
It was just an EXP feast!
"{Eternal Night}!"
Darkness encompassed everything, thousands of tentacles tore apart the monsters, their screams echoed everywhere, their blood splattered, their entrails fell into the floor. Their magic was useless, the only thing they saw was darkness.
After roughly half an hour, we had completely cleared the mountain of all monsters.
"Gryyyaggh!"
CRASH!
The last Dragonoid gave a loud groan of agony, before Erika finished it off with her sword, slicing its head off mercilessly. Blood was painting everything red, but we were all alive, and only a few dozen of my familiars ended dying. We hunted two thousand monsters with extreme efficiency.
"Phew! We\'re done, ugh…" Erika groaned. "Another break, please…"
"Yeah, this is a bit too much… I don\'t think we ever hunted this many monsters, even in the dungeon of stronghold…" Sighed Elizabeth.
"Still, back then… Didn\'t we almost fight an S- Rank monster?" Eric asked.
"I killed it before it could do much anyways." I said. "But yeah, it got slightly dangerous. That boss was weirdly trying to evolve even further, and I remember it even spoke to me. That was unnerving."
"Dungeon Mutations are still a mystery…" Elizabeth said. "Well, I suppose that shouldn\'t be our topic of conversation though! We are about to face something even more terrifying."
"The White Dragon, huh?" Chris sighed. "That monster that has been watching over our village since we were kids, there are literal legends of it, you know? It has never left the Mithril Mountain for hundreds of years since it landed here, constantly shifting from mountains, but never leaving the range…"
"Based in how much it has been eating, and that it created minions to protect its lair, I would say the Dragon is not at their full power." I explained. "And based in what I saw from fighting him with my familiars… He\'s an old dragon, old and worn down. His body is covered on wounds that had yet to heal."
"Really?!" Asked Eric. "So that\'s why you\'re so confident!"
"Not really." I interrumpted my friend. "Wounds or not, that dragon\'s still a Divine Dragon. A being that is often considered a god that walks amongst mortals. We cannot underestimate. I do have a strategy for this. I\'ll be prioritizing everyone\'s safety and using your strengths the most.
We\'ll be fighting a monster on the level of Satan now, if not slightly stronger than him. So be prepared for absolutely anything."
"Okay, oaky, but let\'s rest first!" Erika said.
"…Yes, I was about to say that let\'s rest for forty more minutes, or maybe an hour. We need to completely prepare. That dragon is not even bothering to come here. He\'s either waiting for us, or simply sleeping." I sighed. "Whatever it is, it is looking down on us."
"We\'ll need to prepare well, tell us the strategy as we rest and eat something, Blake." Eric said.
"Sure, let\'s gather up and set some things. There\'s still a lot of leftovers from lunch, so let\'s eat that to recover stamina." I smiled.
We quickly gathered together to eat and talk about the strategy I had. While doing so, I looked at the Grimoire once more, noticing my levels having raised as I felt beforehand.

Good, this is good enough, let\'s drink those Elixirs first.
