Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 One shot, one kill

"Quickly, raise the torches!"

"Beware the Night Fury! Beware the Night Fury!"

Torches were lit one by one, then ascended into the night sky, illuminating the surrounding mist.

As far as the eye could see, the entire sky above Berk Island was densely packed with Dragons of various colors, among which the plump Corondo Dragons and the bone-spitting Deadly Nadders were the most numerous and noticeable.

As for the Two-Headed Dragon, it was skilled at disguise, first spraying gas to smoke out the Vikings hiding in houses, then igniting the gas.

"Quick, protect the sheep! Don't let these Dragons find them!"

Immediately, a small team of people, armed with stone nets, guarded the sheepfold, waiting for these Dragons to approach.

After all, in the eyes of the Vikings, slaying Dragons was their top priority; they would rather eat one less sheep than fail to become a Dragon-slaying warrior.

"Aoooo~~~"

A louder Dragon roar echoed, and all the Vikings' expressions grew much more serious. They knew that the Terrible Terror was about to appear.

The Terrible Terror liked to cover its entire body with its saliva, then ignite itself. From afar, it looked like a giant Dragon made of flames, leaving fire in its wake wherever it passed.

Facing such a powerful Dragon, only the strongest warrior in the tribe could contend with it.

That was Chief Stoick, the big man of Berk Island!

However, at this moment, Stoick did not have the powerful Terrible Terror in his sights; his target was always that mysterious Night Fury.

On Berk Island, no one had seen what a Night Fury looked like, nor did they know its habits. The unknown was full of danger, and equally full of challenge.

It was precisely because of this that Stoick was so fanatical.

"Bang!"

Everyone only saw a flash of purple light, and the huge torch directly snapped in half. The fireball fell onto the village path, then rolled down the slope and into the sea.

Although everyone strained their eyes, they still did not see the shadow of the Night Fury, as if the purple fireball had appeared out of thin air.

Upon seeing this fireball, Hiccup immediately said excitedly, "It's finally here!"

Then, Hiccup pushed a wheelbarrow with a stone crossbow and rushed towards the highest point of Berk Island!

The villagers he encountered along the way all wanted to say something, but Hiccup's speed was simply too fast, and everyone had to face a Dragon, so no one was idle.

When Stoick saw Hiccup's frantic appearance, he immediately thought angrily, "It seems Hiccup is going to cause trouble again!"

Although he sounded impatient, even somewhat disdainful, this was, after all, his son.

Now, Berk Island was full of Dragons. If the scrawny Hiccup went out alone, he would surely become food for those Dragons. Thinking of this, Stoick quickened his pace, wanting to catch up to Hiccup.

However, the Terrible Terror was faster than Stoick.

"Aoooo~~~"

The Terrible Terror let out a loud Dragon roar while spitting out a scorching flame.

"Hiccup!"

Stoick appeared as if from the sky, holding a shield and forcefully blocking the flame.

Then he pushed Hiccup far away.

"It seems this part wasn't in the original story!"

Hiccup, suspended in mid-air, carefully recalled the plot. Although he would be chased by the Terrible Terror, that was only after he had shot down the Night Fury!

He landed with a forward roll, steadily caught the wheelbarrow, and then continued to run towards the highest point of Berk Island.

The Vikings' stubbornness was ingrained in their bones and flowed in their blood. Stoick also knew he couldn't make Hiccup go back, but he still shouted persistently, "Hiccup! Come back!"

Hiccup shouted back without turning his head, "Father, I will prove it to you!"

As a transmigrator with a system, if he couldn't even catch a Night Fury, wouldn't that be a huge disgrace!

Stoick didn't even have time to say a second word, because his action of blocking the flame with his shield had enraged the Terrible Terror in front of him.

So, it charged directly at Stoick, attempting to bite him to death.

However, it was met with Stoick's fist, as big as a casserole.

"Puff~"

The sound of a punch connecting with flesh rang out, and the Terrible Terror was directly knocked to the ground by Stoick's punch.

It raised its head, looking very confused, shook twice, and tried to breathe fire, but only coughed twice, spitting out a few sparks.

Seeing Stoick pick up his great axe, ready to chop off its head, the Terrible Terror quickly retreated, even forgetting how to fly, its short Dragon claws scrambling.

But Stoick had no intention of letting it go, shouting loudly as he chased after it.

Meanwhile, Hiccup had already reached the highest point of Berk Island with his stone crossbow.

Although the stone crossbow had been dropped, it was still fully functional.

"System! How far is the Night Fury from me!?"

"Ding! Responding to host! The Night Fury's movement trajectory has been detected. It is expected to reach the stone crossbow's range in five seconds!"

"Click~~"

Hiccup opened the switch on the stone crossbow. In the blink of an eye, both crossbow arms were drawn into a full moon shape, the bowstring taut, just waiting for Hiccup to press the switch.

"Aoooo~~"

The Night Fury seemed proud of having shot down a torch, letting out an excited Dragon roar.

However, it was this Dragon roar that directly gave Hiccup the signal.

"Buzz~~"

The bowstring hummed, and the stone net, weighted with stones, flew directly towards the Night Fury, accurately striking its body.

From afar, it looked as if the Night Fury had just happened to catch the stone net during a dive!

"Gah~~~~"

The Night Fury let out a struggling cry, finally crashing into Crow Ridge, knocking down a large number of trees, and then fell silent.

But there was no time to be happy, because Hiccup knew that a Terrible Terror was about to appear.

So, he ignored everything, turned and ran, and at his fastest speed, too, because his current small physique was no match for the Terrible Terror!

While he was running, the system's notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully shooting down the Night Fury, completing the main quest, and receiving one mysterious scroll as a reward! A complete set of five magic potions! They have been placed in the system space!"

At this moment, it was too late for Stoick to save him; he could only save himself.

These five magic potions were: Strength Potion, Agility Potion, Wisdom Potion, Spirit Potion, and Recovery Potion!

Although there were no offensive potions, something was better than nothing. Except for the Recovery Potion, Hiccup gulped down all the other potions.

As the potions went down his throat, an indescribable coolness instantly spread. In the blink of an eye, his senses sharpened, and his strength surged!

Hiccup immediately stopped running. With the potions' enhancement, why would he run!? He turned his head and looked at the fire-breathing Terrible Terror as if it were his prey!
