Decapitation Strike!

A splash of ice and snow.

Soren shook off the ice covering his body and immediately drew his javelin, hurling it at the Frost Pteranodon in front of him. The icy breath had inflicted over twenty points of frostbite on him; if it weren't for his Lesser Cold Resistance Feat, he would have been frozen stiff for quite some time before regaining consciousness. The most important thing in dealing with the Frost Pteranodon wasn't to inflict damage, but to prevent it from continuing to fly. Although Soren had opportunities to attack its head and neck, he instead hurled the javelin at the Frost Pteranodon's wings.

Bang!

The heavy javelin pierced the Frost Pteranodon's wing, embedding itself in the bone and driving into the ground. As the Frost Pteranodon let out a painful scream, Soren swiftly drew his sword and pounced. One cannot kill Dragonkind by directly attacking its skull; its skull is extremely hard, impenetrable even by Supernatural Weapon. Nor can one attack seemingly Hit Points areas; Dragonkind are incredibly resilient, and even if hacked until they bleed profusely, they will not die quickly. And certainly do not attempt to attack Dragonkind's vital internal organs; such damage requires specialized Dragon Slayer weapons.

It's like giving someone a sword; you're unlikely to be able to pierce an elephant's hide and hit its heart!

The Frost Pteranodon was quite large; a human's heart could be pierced with a Dagger, but the heart of Subspecies Dragonkind would require penetration through at least several tens of centimeters of thickness. Soren didn't attack the vital area of the neck, but instead swung his Scimitar, slicing the Frost Pteranodon's wings in two. Amidst the spray of blood, the Frost Pteranodon's wings were torn in two, fluttering like tattered cloaks in the snow. Such injuries weren't fatal to Pteranodon, but they essentially rendered them incapable of flight.

A sharp claw flashed with cold light as the Male Frost Pteranodon opened its mouth and bit down on Soren's neck!

That moment was extremely dangerous.

The Frost Pteranodon's long, narrow neck was almost a meter long. Its head could twist nearly 360 degrees to bite and attack, meaning that as long as it was within its attack range, there were almost no blind spots or possibilities for Dodge. The Evasion brought by the Shadow Dancer's advancement came into play at this dangerous moment. Almost instinctively, Soren punched the Frost Pteranodon's neck bone, deflecting the attack slightly. He then ducked to avoid the gaping maw and charged forward with tremendous force, slamming his head into the Frost Pteranodon's jaw in an instant.

A piercing scream rang out!

Soren felt a momentary dizziness. The impact was immense, and his head was throbbing. The Frost Pteranodon's lower jaw slammed into his upper jaw, breaking off several sharp fangs. Soren's reaction was incredibly fast; had he been even a fraction slower, he might have had half his neck bitten off. The Dragon Wing flapped violently; if Soren hadn't torn them open, they would have created a gust of wind, but instead, they merely lashed out at Soren Dragon Wing.

--Dragon Wing Buffet!

The most dangerous and deadliest attack of Dragonkind.

If someone were to ask which part of Dragon's body has the strongest muscles, there would certainly be many different answers. Some would say it's their hind legs and thighs, while others would say it's their forelimbs and head. But in fact, the strongest muscles of Dragon are in its wings, where they can create a sweeping, damaging effect when they Wing Buffet.

Soren has been waiting for this moment all along!

The most dangerous attack of Dragon is its Wing Buffet. As one of the larger Pteranodon, the Frost Pteranodon can also use a weakened version of this Wing Buffet. This ability is very resource-intensive, and Dragon cannot use Wing Buffet continuously. If you dodge this attack, the danger posed by the Frost Pteranodon will be reduced by at least half!

Soren's Superhuman Dexterity was on full display at this moment.

His body was almost bent at a ninety-degree angle, narrowly avoiding the Wing Buffet. The fierce wind whipped his hair, and the dragon's claws tore cracks into the rocks beside him. In that instant, Soren switched from wielding his sword with one hand to two, and then, along the seams between the bones, sliced through the Dragon Hide and muscle, creating a wound nearly half a meter long. Scalding Dragon Blood drenched half of his body. His skin still felt a slight stinging sensation.

The blood of most Draconic has a slightly corrosive effect!

Every living organism has a musculoskeletal structure, and cutting along these structures makes it much easier—somewhat like a skilled butcher carving up an ox. Legendary Melee Class possess the Legendary Feat of ' Weakness Insight,' which can achieve a similar effect, delivering a more devastating blow to enemies who are otherwise harmless. Soren seemed to unleash this power in that instant, inflicting nearly 50 points of Laceration on the Frost Pteranodon.

He rolled away to create some distance, his arm slightly cut by the sharp ice on the ground, but he quickly rolled over and stood up.

Soren heard a noise coming from behind, and other Frost Pteranodon rushed over!

really.

After the Male Frost Pteranodon's attack failed, the two Female Frost Pteranodon behind it became restless. One of them immediately took to the air and pounced on Soren. In an instant, she drew another Short Javelin, barely aiming at its target, having no time to do so, relying solely on instinct to throw it to the approximate location. However, such an attack was enough for the massive Frost Pteranodon. The Frost Pteranodon Short Javelin its abdomen, causing it to struggle and howl, its flight immediately swaying.

The dragon's claws attacked from the side!

A faint Spell Aura emanated from Soren's body, and a Protection from Energy Stoneskin instantly activated. The dragon claws struck him, sending him flying three meters, but without causing fatal damage. The third Frost Pteranodon also took flight. It seemed to have sensed an unprecedented danger from the enemy before it, temporarily abandoning its duty to guard the Dragon Egg, and with a roar, launched a swooping attack.

Slurp!

The Heavy Crossbow bolt struck the enemy, Soren leaped behind a rock to avoid the attack. He then wiped the blood from his mouth, pulled out his last Short Javelin, and jumped atop the rock, hurling it at the wounded Frost Pteranodon in the sky. He aimed to bring down the one that was barely able to fly. The other Frost Pteranodon wasn't as fast; it would dive and then circle again before finding a suitable angle to attack from the sky.

Soren's time is very short. At most thirty seconds, the Frost Pteranodon will turn around and launch another dive attack.

Bang!

The javelin struck the smaller Female Frost Pteranodon again, finally causing it to stagger and fall. The javelin pierced the muscles near its wing, significantly reducing its flight power. Subspecies Dragonkind are incredibly resilient. They are born with Hit Points Hit Points over 12 points, and every Subspecies Dragonkind possesses near- Legendary Warrior - Hit Points. Conservatively estimated, they have over 300 Hit Points. If a fatal blow cannot be dealt, their Hit Points can only be slowly depleted.

--"Shadow Assassination!"

Soren roared and slashed open the Male Frost Pteranodon's abdomen, then leaped onto its back. The creature struggled violently, trying to roll and throw Soren off. But Sauron suddenly unleashed his full power. His toes sank into the Frost Pteranodon's body, and he leaped into the air, concentrating all his strength into a single line, combining it with the force of his fall. He then gripped his Scimitar tightly and slashed downwards, the power of [Sword Momentum - Heavy Cleave] combined with Shadow Assassination, fiercely striking the Male Frost Pteranodon's neck bone gap.

--"Decapitation Attack!"

One of the dragon's heads was severed off. A torrent of blood enveloped Soren's entire body, as if he had taken a Dragon Blood; he was covered in blood from head to toe.

A row of documents appeared:

"Launch Shadow Assassination!"

"Activate [Sword Momentum - Heavy Slash]!"

"You dealt 85 points of cleaving damage (critical strike) to the target!... Armor Piercing penetration stacking!... Sharpness stacking!... Successfully triggered Decapitation Attack!... Decapitation successful!... Target's lethality check failed!... Target instantly dies!..."

The Male Frost Pteranodon's body crashed to the ground. Even with over a hundred Hit Points, it was already dead. Only its corpse twitched slightly, its Dragon Wing fluttering as its remaining Hit Points rapidly dissipated. The Frost Pteranodon in the sky roared, and the still-circling Frost Pteranodon suddenly swooped down towards Soren.

This time!

He had no room to Dodge, still in the post-burst recovery phase, having just decapitated the Male Frost Pteranodon. He was now directly in the path of another Frost Pteranodon's straight-ahead dive attack.

Life and death hang in the balance in that instant.

The Frost Pteranodon swooped down towards Soren from the sky, while another Frost Pteranodon, already struck by two javelins, pounced on him. Sauron had almost no room to Dodge, and his body, exhausted from his previous burst of power, couldn't muster the strength for a second Dodge leap. At that moment, Soren took a deep breath, then rolled backward along the ground, covered in gushing blood. He rolled into the shadow of the Male Frost Pteranodon's corpse, and then vanished in an instant!

--"Hide Sight!"

--Shadow Plane Travel!

Soren's figure suddenly twisted and then disappeared from the spot. The Frost Pteranodon swooping down from the sky carried a ferocious force, its sharp claws slicing through the flesh of the corpse, leaving a mark more than ten centimeters deep on the ground. If this attack had hit Soren, the dragon claws alone could have disemboweled him!

The shadow beside a rock twisted eerily, and Soren's figure appeared twenty meters away.

He raised his finger and fired several Magic Missile. Then, a faint light appeared in his eyes, and a Cause Fear landed between the two Frost Pteranodon.

No surprises!

Cause Fear are ineffective against Draconic creatures; Soren's Spell abilities are simply too weak.

However, he did not panic at all. After taking a deep breath, he leaped up and rushed directly towards the injured Frost Pteranodon. A strange dark red light appeared on his fingertips, and his pale face regained a lot of color the moment he made contact with the creature.

--"Vampiric Touch!"

Soren's injuries were reduced to Light Wound Condition, and the Frost Pteranodon he had touched let out a miserable cry, its expression immediately becoming much more listless.
