One of Us Must Die

"This... is a dragon?"

The arrival of the Fire Dragon startled some of the mages, as there were no creatures like Pokémon in this world.

Legends spoke of dragons, but no one had ever truly seen one.

Then, one day, a creature related to dragons appeared.

Almost subconsciously, the vast majority of the mages shifted their targets, intending to shoot down the Fire Dragon from the sky for research.

The four knights, who had been largely occupied by the mages, were suddenly freed. The Demon King, increasingly injured, felt his desire for slaughter surge.

Bloodshot veins took root in the Demon King's pupils.

Chen Yi was similar!

The Fire Dragon was startled by dozens of magical attacks and retaliated with a blast of Ember.

However, quite a few attacks still pierced through the flames. The most intact among them was a spear of Metal Element, which pierced the Fire Dragon's arm. Following that, several earth bullets hit its wings, causing the Fire Dragon to lose balance and fall directly from mid-air.

Chen Yi quickly moved in front of the Fire Dragon, striking the ground heavily with his staff. A clearly much thicker Stone Wall rapidly rose, blocking the subsequent attacks.

He glanced at the team panel with concern.

[Elemental Spear dealt 69 damage to Fire Dragon]

[Earth Rock Bullet dealt 33 damage to Fire Dragon]

[High Altitude Fall dealt 57 damage to Fire Dragon]

He immediately relaxed, realizing these injuries wouldn't kill the Fire Dragon.

He scolded with a laugh, "Don't you know to be more careful?"

"Ao~~"

The Fire Dragon pulled the spear from its arm, feigning great anger while secretly watching Chen Yi's reaction.

These were just minor injuries; it would be bad if the Trainer was unhappy.

As a Charmander, this guy was 90% tsundere and the rest battle-hungry.

As a Charmeleon, this guy was 130% tsundere and even more battle-hungry.

As a Fire Dragon, this guy was only left with tsundere and battle-hungry traits.

Chen Yi spoke of the Fire Dragon, but he himself ignited with rage. Retreating step by step would only lead to this outcome.

He swept a cold gaze over the mages: "Since you wish to be my Enemy, then... one of us must die!"

"Fire Dragon!"

The Fire Dragon swallowed the Egg-Wrapped Rice in one gulp.

[Egg-Wrapped Rice Full of Love]

Quality: Green

A meticulously prepared dish, ordinary fried rice filled with the love of girls, restoring 140 HP over 15 seconds.

Evaluation: The love of girls cannot be betrayed!

"Boom!"

The reinforced Stone Wall collapsed under the Elemental Bombardment, and a Black Shadow darted out from the explosion.

Chen Yi stood behind the Fire Dragon, his eyes filled with killing intent.

As if sensing Chen Yi's mood, the Fire Dragon's originally gentle eyes turned sharp.

Flames, thicker than before, shot downwards. The Ice Shield and Soil Shield blocking the path could not completely stop the flames.

Chen Yi drank a blue potion and leaped down when he found the Fire Dragon at a lower altitude.

Flame - Seal Sword!

A large amount of Mana Points surged in, and three two-meter-tall Flame Swords descended from the sky. The Mage directly below widened his eyes and hurriedly blinked away.

The giant Flame Swords landed on the ground without exploding or making a loud noise, sinking halfway into the Soil as if they had no Weight.

Just as the nearby Mages thought they were just for show, a scorching ring of fire spread out from the center of the giant Flame Swords. The ring of fire carried an extremely high temperature, and the air nearby began to distort.

The Mages who had not left the area found their clothes and hair instantly ignited.

[You dealt 79 Burn Damage to xxx]

These were the ones who couldn't block the ring of fire.

[You dealt 14 Burn Damage to xx]

[You dealt 14 Burn Damage to xx]

The ring of fire was blocked, but they felt immense pain with every breath, each breath scorching hot. The shields in front of them could not stop the rising temperature.

As the three rings of fire resonated, Fire Elemental Particles gathered further.

The temperature increased by leaps and bounds, and the Soil turned into lava at a visible speed.

Mages who were too close quickly suffered casualties, clutching their necks in pain, as if that could alleviate their suffering slightly.

For mages with biological features and weak physiques, death was never a distant prospect.

Chen Yi landed in the center of three Flame Greatswords, a spot he had reserved for himself. The temperature here was normal, but the remaining air wouldn't support his combat for much longer.

This move still needs further refinement, a thought flashed through his mind.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Here, where Fire Elemental Particles were active, Chen Yi's Fire spells would see further improvements in both power and Casting Speed.

Flame Sparrows!

Continuous Flame Sparrows flew out from the lava, heading towards the enemy at extreme speed, but their flight path wasn't a straight line!

Every mage hit by a Flame Sparrow instantly turned into a Fire Person, their pain causing them to lose their Casting Ability and roll on the ground. But would Chen Yi let them save themselves on the spot?

"What kind of spell is this? Why isn't it in the Mage Association?"

"Does this move exist in Fire spells? Are there any mages who know how to counter it?"

"Ice Crystal Technique can't block these Flame Sparrows at all, unless one uses Mental power to control each one to block, but the number of Flame Sparrows is too great."

"Do you guys feel that besides Fire spells, the power of other elemental spells is decreasing."

In just a short time since they met, the Mage Association had already lost 14 mages. Keep in mind that only 62 mages had come today.

This was already 1/3 of the mages the Mage Association could muster.

Becoming a mage requires exceptional Mental Talent, strong Memory, and considerable Learning Ability, but death only takes an instant.

The intense battle here quickly attracted the attention of others.

Iris seemed somewhat taken aback. What was originally just a casual move, a Wild Card, had actually pushed away the Stone Pillar on the Camel.

In her surprise, a Fire Snake coiled around the Demon King.

As long as the Demon King was killed and he was free, this scheme would fall apart on its own!

"Hoo... hoo..."

As the battle progressed, Chen Yi was already feeling Difficulty Breathing, and the surrounding temperature began to rise.

This was also a problem for Fire Mages; the Fire environment they created was one they themselves couldn't survive in.

A moment of daze caused Chen Yi to overlook the Thunder Cloud above him.

"Boom!"

Lightning struck, blasting Chen Yi directly away, followed by continuous Elemental Attacks.

[xx dealt 105 damage to Player Yi (75 Lightning Damage, 20 Burn Damage, 10 Fall Damage)]

[Xxx dealt 32 Penetration Damage to Player Yi]

[xx dealt 49 Freeze Damage to Player Yi]

In an instant, Chen Yi's damage panel was flooded with notifications. If his health wasn't high enough, he would have owed several more health bars.

Suppressing the pain in his body, he flashed away from his current position.

"Fire Dragon!"

The Fire Dragon, having just used Fire Blast, showed a hint of Fatigue. Hearing its Trainer call, it hurriedly turned around to face Chen Yi.

Fireballs exploded in front of Chen Yi, the blasts kicking up clouds of Dust.

He plunged headfirst into the Dust, then formed a Small Pit on the ground. Chen Yi, holding a Blood Potion, suddenly began to miss the Strong Heart effect of the Healing Staff.

If he had Strong Heart right now, it could have brought both Chen Yi's and the Fire Dragon's health back to a very healthy state.

Explosion Sounds occasionally came from the Dust, but the enemy mages' attack frequency was no longer as high as before. Their Mana Points were depleted!

On the other hand, Chen Yi, who had been constantly using potions, still had 230 Mana Points remaining.

From the enemy's perspective, the Fire Dragon had also plunged into the Dust. In reality, it had been recalled into its Poké Ball the moment it entered, and then summoned next to Chen Yi.

He handed the Fire Dragon an Omelet Rice. This Recovery Effect was better than a regular Blood Potion, but it only worked if it was all eaten.

This kind of item could only be used by players who could finish an Omelet Rice in one go.

He summoned a Stone Wall in front, and took out Special Medicine for Pokémon, spraying it on the Fire Dragon's many injured areas.

He did not choose the unfamiliar Water Healing Spell, as it was slow to cast and had poor effects.

Chen Yi and the Fire Dragon spent less than half a minute in the Dust before charging out once more. Both of their Health Bars had risen above 300.

Fireballs, accompanied by a large character, simultaneously landed among the scattered mages.

"Why does he still have Mana?"

"Isn't he the Hero? Who sold him those Mana Recovery potions?"

"Should we just surrender? I can already feel the Mental Sting."

"Our Empire should be able to handle it without us, right?"

The people from the Mage Association began to waver. There were only 27 mages left, and all of them were in poor condition. No mage wanted to experience the pain of depleted Mana again.

In that state, they had no ability to resist. Continuing the fight would only be sending themselves to their deaths.

But the problem was that they started the fight, and they were no longer the ones who decided when it would end.

"Healing Hero, we surrender!"

"As long as you let us go, we will never interfere in the affairs of the Empire and the Church."

"Yes! Yes! We can discuss with the Mage Association and have other mages support you."

The only response they received was a series of fireballs, and Chen Yi's indifferent gaze.

As Chen Yi had said before, when the people from the Mage Association chose to continue their attack, one side had to fall!
