Chapter 745: So Close!!

In the final hours, the dragon's progress had been much slower than Leo's, pushing Aurelius Beast Academy's percentage close to 50% and putting them in the lead.

But the real reason was that the main players—Azrakar, Vorthak, and Vulcarion—had targeted a section of the skull and were fiercely attacking it to dig a hole through the extremely dense bone, which was even tougher than raw adamantium.

While the rest of the dragons contributed to the slowly rising percentage by attacking the Behemoth from within, those three relentlessly hacked at its skull.

Azrakar was in charge of delivering raw physical blows that cracked the top layer. He then used the same physical force to forcibly peel away the cracked portions.

Vorthak and Vulcarion, meanwhile, were in charge of breathing continuous flames directly at the spots Azrakar had weakened with his physical strikes.

Not to mention that the treasures he had won from the academy's competition had made his body even more defensive than that of a normal dragon at his level.

The flames heated the exposed bones, causing thermal stress that widened the fractures from the earlier physical blows.

Then, any connective tissue they encountered along the way was swiftly incinerated, making it even easier to crack the bones.

Azrakar would then tear away more pieces of bone until, finally, the internal membranes became visible.

They immediately burned them away. Then, they removed some of the superficial brain tissue, revealing the pale, folded surface of the enormous brain beneath.

It was a strange sight, covered in countless ridges and grooves that looked like a vast mass of tightly packed pale flesh, with faint pulses running beneath its surface.

But they also noticed something else.
