Bang!

The force generated by the dragon's tail whipping out was like a thunderclap exploding in the air, instantly creating a gale of force seven or eight, bending the dense forest in the area.

The sound of branches snapping was as loud as thunder!

The lush, dense leaves were swept up by the gale and shot into the sky, like green blood, splattering the air!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Figures were sent flying by the powerful impact, crashing into the jungle behind them, snapping several thick trees in two.

After Tina and Tia crashed into three large trees, they landed with a thud on a brown tree trunk about half a meter thick and fell to the ground.

Two slender figures, their bodies covered with tiny cuts from branches and leaves!

One figure collapsed to the ground, while another leaned weakly against the base of a large tree, blood continuously spilling from their mouth.

As assassins belonging to the Ninja class, they do not wear heavy defensive equipment in order to improve their agility, stealth, and ease of movement.

This leads to...

Even though the Evileye used defensive magic to mitigate part of the attack, the aftershocks still caused great damage to Tina and her companion.

Lakyus and Gagaran fared somewhat better, but they were also seriously injured and lay among the ruins of broken jungle branches.

Throughout the entire venue.

The only one standing was the figure of Evileye.

The giant dragon that Tang Zheng had transformed into spread its wings and hovered above the jungle. Its crimson figure was like a blazing sun, and its golden pupils looked down indifferently at the [Blue Roses] group below.

His previous encounter with the Evileye did not trigger the acquisition of Wild Magic, so he could only try transforming into the Dragon Lords to make contact again.

But!

Tang Zheng did not intend to reveal his identity Golden Dragon, so he activated "Body Armament" to cover his entire body.

Because of the Sun Anglerfish it had previously devoured, the color of its Body Armament had turned crimson, so it now looked more like a crimson dragon.

"Lakyus, Gagaran, Tina, Tia!"

The Evileye looked up at the Crimson Dragon in the sky, not daring to let it out of its sight, and growled softly as it moved its throat.

"Cough... cough."

"I... I'm not going to die with Tina..."

"Shorty, hold on for a bit longer,"

"Evileye, be careful..."

The voices of his companions came from behind.

The Evileye could sense the weakened aura behind them, especially Tia and the other two, who responded even though they were seriously injured.

This was to prevent her from getting distracted.

Anger burned in the eyes of the man Evileye as he stared intently at the Crimson Dragon in the sky, its mountain-like form and terrifying Dragon Fear.

As Undead, she shouldn't be affected by emotions, but her heart inexplicably started beating faster.

Its crimson scales were as smooth and delicate as fish scales, and its enormous dragon wings spread out, with a pale red light flowing between the scales under the sunlight!

Having lived for over 250 years since the Evileye, they had never come so close to the most powerful race in the world.

Such a size and the overwhelming presence it exudes prove that the other party is not an ordinary Dragon Race, but the king of Dragon Race — the Dragon Lords!

"Monster? Are you kidding me!"

The Evileye discovered that the dragon's size seemed somewhat unusual.

She had seen Dragon Race with slender builds from afar before, but the Crimson Dragon before her was significantly more robust.

The scales all over its body also looked a bit strange.

However, there are many types of Dragon Race, and their body shape is not necessarily slender.

Very strong!

More powerful than most of the Demon Gods that have descended!

"Ordinary things."

Tang Zheng opened his mouth, and arrogant syllables rolled from between his sharp teeth. He was now in the form of the Dragon Lords, so naturally he had to imitate the arrogance of the Dragon Race:

"You lowly ants crawling on the ground, who gave you permission to raise your head?"

A rolling humming sound vibrated in the air.

Even if you are the Dragon Lords!

The Evileye, unable to contain his fury, cried out, "Don't be so arrogant!"

The Dragon Lords before us is indeed powerful.

The sheer scale of the disparity was palpable Evileye, and while she was confident she could escape, what would happen to her companions left behind?

The only solution now is to lure them away, then Teleportation back and take everyone with us!

I'm a woman who has lived for over 250 years!

"Maximize Magic: Shard Buck Shots!"

Evileye the first to unleash her magic.

Fist-sized crystal bullets, infused with Negative Energy and further enhanced by magic, hurtled towards the dragon in the sky like real cannonballs.

This is her specialty, an earth-based special attack magic. It's not only an area-of-effect attack, but the sharp crystals can further increase its destructive power.

The Crimson Dragon Lord's tail attack easily shattered the crystal shield. The Evileye already knew that they absolutely could not give this Dragon Lords any chance to get close!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Tang Zheng looked down at the tiny figure below, making no move to dodge, letting the attack fall.

There aren't many opponents of the magnitude of Evileye; it's a good opportunity to assess our own capabilities.

Thud--

The Shard Buck Shots landed on him and exploded.

Tang Zheng's body did not sway at all, and not even the scales on his body showed any marks.

As expected.

Looking at the Attribute Panel, "Body Armament" has lost 27 points of durability.

"Not bad," Tang Zheng thought to himself.

The fingertip of the one Evileye trembled. Even though he had anticipated that his attack would not cause any effective damage, he did not expect it to have no effect at all.

"Flight"!

Magic surged.

The Evileye took to the air and flew in the opposite direction, simultaneously activating magic again:

"Maximize Magic: Dragon Lightning!"

A dazzling blue bolt of lightning surged from his arm, transforming into a raging dragon-shaped lightning bolt that hurtled towards Tang Zheng.

No need to aim specifically!

"Dragon Lightning" is an area-of-effect spell, and given its large size, it can hit even without aiming.

After unleashing the magic to Evileye, he stopped paying attention to anything else and focused all his energy on escaping.

Splash!

The red robe fluttered in the wind.

This most powerful race seems to possess an innate and astonishing resistance to both magical and physical attacks.

but.

While the damage is one aspect, the paralysis effect produced by "Dragon Lightning" will affect the opponent's movements to some extent, making it easier for her to create more distance.

"Do you want to test your flying speed against me, you mortal!"

Tang Zheng watched the fleeing Evileye and let out a cold laugh. Facing the oncoming blue lightning bolts, his massive body suddenly shrank.

"Shadow Ambush!"

In an instant!

A massive shadow vanished from its spot with extraordinary speed, easily dodging the Dragon Lightning attack while leaving a black afterimage in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye.

Having already escaped some distance, the Evileye, as if its throat had been grabbed, looked ahead and thought, "How could this be...?"

A crimson dragon had already blocked the path to the Evileye.

"Shadow Ambush" is one of the abilities of "Body Armament".

Boom!!

A sharp, wall-like dragon claw swung down from the sky, viciously grabbing at the Evileye.

"Reverse Gravity!" The Evileye swiftly chanted.

Tang Zheng felt his dragon claw swinging weaker, as if some of its power had been drained, and his movements slowed down.

--Whoosh!

The Evileye immediately stopped its advance. With no time to retreat, it activated its magic to increase its altitude. Its nimble figure easily bypassed Tang Zheng's giant body and soared upwards.

Wow!

You can't escape.

Tang Zheng's dragon wings flapped, lifting him into the air. His fierce, massive dragon head was the first to overtake the Evileye, spewing a wisp of flame from its nostrils.

"Get down on your knees and lie prostrate on the ground!"

This time, both dragon claws swung out simultaneously, their sharp tips piercing the air and creating a piercing buzzing sound.

"This distance is enough -- Teleportation!"

The Evileye suddenly roared, and his figure vanished into thin air.

Thousands of meters in the air.

Only Tang Zheng remained. His wings faltered, and he stopped climbing.

"Heh, such a little scheme isn't hard to guess."

Tang Zheng lowered his head, his golden dragon eyes piercing through layers of air, easily capturing the Evileye that had appeared below the jungle, and his dragon claws grabbed at the void.

A small scroll appeared in the giant palm.

In his Gold Dragon Lord form, Tang Zheng cannot use Tier Magic, but his use of Magic Scroll remains unaffected.

With a slight squeeze of his palm, he crushed the scroll.

The Eighth-Tier Magic "Dimensional Lock"!

An invisible barrier rapidly spread and enveloped what lay below.

And at this moment.

Teleportation back to the Evileye in the jungle, they have arrived beside [Blue Roses] and the others.

Just now, during a break in her battle with the Crimson Dragon Lord.

Lakyus, who was less seriously injured, had already pulled Gagaran, Tina, Tia to his side.

"Captain, we're retreating!"

As soon as the Evileye was announced, they swiftly seized Lakyus, who was already prepared.

"Go!" Lakyus's mouth was stained with blood, and his long, golden, swirling hair was now disheveled, making him look utterly wretched.

The series of unusual events has led to the failure of this exploration mission.

Lakyus was filled with regret, but he also understood the current situation; retreating was the most important thing.

"Teleportation."

A chant of Evileye is sung, and magic is unleashed.

However!

The expected shift in perspective did not occur; the group of people who Evileye flickered but remained stationary in the same spot.

"What's going on?!"

An incredulous look appeared on the face behind the mask of Evileye, and a rare hint of panic flashed in the eyes.

Although Lakyus didn't know what had happened, he realized the problem, and his fair face turned ugly. "Evileye's, it was that Dragon Lords who did this!"

--Splash!

A gust of wind swept across the sky.

Tang Zheng, controlling the enormous dragon body, slowly descended from mid-air. "Trying to escape?"

"I've said it before, a bunch of ants just need to crawl on the ground!"

"Damn it!" The Teleportation Evileye had completely failed, and a chill ran through her entire body; this was a situation she had never imagined.

"Captain, you take them with you."

"I'll stop it!" Like a cheetah with its fur standing on end, Evileye released his grip on Lakyus and turned to charge towards Tang Zheng.

"Maximize Magic: Crystal Lance!"

Lakyus's eyes were filled with grief and indignation. Who could have imagined that a reconnaissance mission would lead the team into such a predicament?

While feeling regretful, tears involuntarily streamed from my eyes!

As the captain, she would never abandon her companions under any circumstances, but it was precisely because of this that Lakyus understood even more clearly that their staying here would only hinder the Evileye.

Evileye, you must find a way to leave!

In Lakyus's clear blue eyes, the image of the Evileye was reflected. He grabbed Tina and Tia in each hand, then hoisted Gagaran on his shoulder and turned to flee.

"Snort!"

Tang Zheng let out a cold snort.

"Shadow Ambush!"

A black shadow flashed,

Its massive, crimson body, like a ghost, easily dodged the Crystal Lance and appeared before the Evileye.

Raising its dragon claw high, it swung it down heavily!

The vision of the Evileye was instantly enveloped by the enormous dragon claw, and he hurriedly activated a spell. "Translocation Damage!"

Boom!

A terrifying force was unleashed, and a crater half a meter deep appeared out of thin air on the ground. The Evileye was like a flattened piece of paper imprinted on the ground.

The dragon's claws rose.

Surprisingly, the Evileye then shakily rose from the ground, seemingly unharmed except for its clothes being covered in mud.

"Translocation Damage, huh? Not a bad skill."

Tang Zheng looked at the skill prompts appearing on the Attribute Panel, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes.

The reason he's still fighting is to force his opponent to use the skills and techniques he desires.

The dragon's claws reached out again, aiming to Evileye.

"Resist Weakening! --!"

The Evileye staggered, its eyes behind the mask growing increasingly bloodshot. Sensing the dwindling magic power within it, it unleashed its magic once more with all its might.

I need to give my companions more time to escape!

"Ninjutsu: The Unassailable Ninjutsu: Immovable Adamantine Shield!"

"Ninjutsu: The Unassailable Ninjutsu: Immovable Adamantine Shield!"

Suddenly.

Two weak, delicate shouts rang out.

At the very front of the dragon's claw, two shields radiating golden light appeared simultaneously.

Click!

Click!

They held out for only a moment before both golden shields shattered simultaneously.

"Ah-- Dark Blade Mega Impact!"

A beautiful blonde figure leaped from above the head of the Evileye, her black demonic sword slamming heavily into the dragon's claw.

Then came a burst of pure black energy.

Boom!

The largest shockwave Lakyus flying while simultaneously blocking the dragon claw attack.

Everyone!

"Dragon Lightning!"

When the Evileye saw that everyone who had fled had actually returned, he couldn't help but shed tears while angrily chanting.

Boom!

The Dragon Lightning, Magic Reinforcement, erupted with a dazzling blue light that illuminated the jungle.

"Useless attack!"

An arrogant voice rang out calmly.

The Dragon Lightning struck the Crimson Dragon with pinpoint accuracy, yet, to everyone's surprise, the dragon remained unharmed as the lightning dissipated.

Only at the location where the Dragon Lightning struck were there some charred marks and broken scales.

Bang!

The dragon claw rose and seized the entire Evileye in its grasp.

"Put the Shorty down— Smash!" Gagaran charged out from behind, roaring weakly with rage, his shattering hammer striking Tang Zheng's dragon claws like a sudden downpour.

Bang--bang--

A series of metallic clanging sounds exploded from the dragon's claws.

"Run!"

"Why didn't you escape!" The voice of the Evileye trembled, a sob tinged with a hint of wailing.

Tang Zheng raised his arm, knocking Gagaran away, and pulled the Evileye in front of him.
