War of Dragon Slaying!

(It's been a month and a half. It seems like ever since I quit smoking, Fututu colds so easily. I slept all day, so only one update today. --Still a little dizzy, Futuzi.)

Rumble.

Heavy footsteps echoed from the Dragon Nest. Without turning around, Soren knew the White Dragon had awakened and was closing in. Dragon possess a near-field perception Feat; they can detect any creature that gets too close. Even the best Halfling in the Shire would struggle to avoid this, as it's a supernatural Sixth Sense. The White Dragon's lair wasn't actually very large, which allowed it to rush out at an astonishing speed.

Almost as soon as Soren ran out, the massive body of the White Dragon followed and charged out.

--"Cone of Cold!"

A chilling Dragon Breath Dragon Breath from Soren's back, freezing the ground visibly with its biting force, quickly creating new layers of ice. The White Dragon's icy breath was the weakest among pureblood Dragon, only half the destructive power of a Red Dragon's breath, yet it was the most frequently used Dragon Breath. Adult White Dragon's Dragon Breath could freeze a man into Ice Golem, then with a swipe of its claws, shatter him into pieces like broken ice!

The scene was quite poignant.

Soren dove out of the range of the Cone of Cold, but some of the chill still clung to his clothes, quickly forming frost. Adult White Dragon's Cone of Cold deals around 40 points of Cold Damage; it's a cone-shaped attack with a large coverage area. This Cold Damage was still within Soren's tolerance; if it were Adult Red Dragon's breath, a single hit would likely have taken half his life.

Sizzle!

A screeching sound rang out. After rushing out of the Dragon Nest, Soren jumped directly from a height of nearly a hundred meters.

However, he didn't jump directly off; otherwise, no matter how Constitution he was, he would still fall to his death. Instead, he used his weapon to dissipate the force of the fall from the edge of the cliff and then slid down, just like when he fought the hunters on the cliff back then. This descent was quite fast, buying Soren some time. So, as he was about to reach the ground and rolled to dissipate the force, the White Dragon's massive body appeared at the edge of the cliff. It glanced at Soren, who had slid to the ground, and without much thought, pounced down.

"Shameless thief!"

The White Dragon before them seemed to have some special experiences, because normally White Dragon only acquire relatively high intelligence in their Great Wyrm and use languages other than Draconic. They are the pure-blooded Dragon that are closest to wild beasts, and to a large Dragonkind, this is why their Challenge Rating is lowered.

Buzz!

With a dull flapping of its Dragon Wing, the White Dragon swooped down and, just before reaching the ground, suddenly shook its Dragon Wing to steady itself. This swoop closed the distance considerably, and then it opened its mouth and spewed out a breath of Dragon Breath once again enveloped Soren's figure.

Dragonkind have low agility, with most having only around 10 points.

And due to their enormous size, they rarely manage to Dodge many enemy attacks, but this doesn't mean they're slow. Most large creatures are relatively agile. In fact, Dragon's speed can rival that of a human with the ' Haste ' spell, so the distance Soren created was still within the range of its Dragon Breath attack.

"Do it!"

Soren suddenly roared and leaped into the air. He grabbed a tree trunk above him and spun 360 degrees, barely avoiding the Cone of Cold. Even so, his right hand was still slightly affected, instantly covered in frost, and his entire arm felt numb.

Elemental damage!

Soren's Legendary Scimitar, Icetail, only deals 3 points of additional Cold Damage, while the White Dragon's Cone of Cold deals nearly 30 points of elemental damage per second.

This is an elemental attack that can freeze blood.

Slurp slurp!

A group of fierce pirates charged in from both sides. Their eyes held a mixture of fear and excitement, and as soon as they emerged, they hurled their heavy javelins. The javelins sliced through the air and struck the White Dragon's body, some hitting its Dragon Scale, barely breaking through the Dragon Scale ' defenses. It was like a hammer hitting an iron felt; most of the javelins were deflected, but the Dragon Scale showed signs of damage, and Sisi of Dragon Blood seeped out.

However, the javelins that hit the Dragon Wing did not bounce off; they passed right through the White Dragon Wing!

Because of the barbs on it, it got caught directly on the Dragon Wing.

"Chain!"

As Soren landed, he shook his arm to disperse the frost that had adhered to it, then picked up a Heavy Javelin and hurled it at the White Dragon's left Dragon Wing.

A sharp whistling sound!

Amidst the Dragon's furious and pained roar, Soren struck it near the Dragon Wing bone.

"Spread!"

Two Scimitar appeared in Soren's palm. Three of the Elite Pirate before him were missing, meaning someone had failed the Dragon Fear's Might Saving Throw test. This fellow, lacking the willpower, was too frightened to join the battle. Soren wasn't too surprised, as it was already quite impressive that so many of his men had withstood the first round of Dragon Fear Saving Throw tests.

However, everyone has the courage to confront such a behemoth!

roar.

With a furious roar, the White Dragon charged towards Soren. As its massive body moved, following the tactics Soren had initially devised, the other Elite Pirate seized the opportunity to continue attacking it with javelins. Many of their men had already noticed the wounds on the Dragon Wing; the White Dragon had indeed been injured at the beginning. This discovery made many of the Elite Pirate eager to try their luck, and some even drew their two-handed weapons, preparing to strike at the already reopened wounds.

"Idiot! Don't be impulsive!"

Soren rolled away rather awkwardly, and when he saw what was happening behind him, he immediately shouted a warning, "Get out of the way!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The White Dragon's attack on Soren was only half a feint. After the most cunning human in front of it dodged its Dragon Breath, it deliberately turned its back to those annoying insects, seemingly intending to take the opportunity to ambush it as well. This made a cruel Blood Frenzy look appear in its eyes. As an Adult White Dragon with a certain degree of intelligence, it knew very well that it would be more beneficial to deal with these minions first.

--"Dragon Tail Sweep!"

Adult White Dragon's tail is nearly five meters long and about the same thickness as an adult's waist, with even the very end being as thick as an adult's thigh. The tail is also covered with sturdy Dragon Scale. When enemies rush at it from behind, it doesn't even need to turn around; its huge dragon eyes merely twitch, and then its thick, long tail is raised high, lashing out like the most powerful and domineering whip.

Bang!

A loud crash was heard.

The Toughness pirate closest to the Adult White Dragon was sent flying nearly twelve meters away by the blow!

At that backward flight distance, he crashed into the tree trunk, causing the entire tree to shake. Others only glanced at him and noticed that the pirate's ribs were completely caved in, as if his entire body had been dented, as if his chest had been folded in half. This was an incredibly powerful force that had even broken his spine.

One hit, one kill!

Survival is virtually impossible in this situation.

Damn it!

Soren took a deep breath, his eyes bloodshot. His breathing became heavy, his heartbeat quickened, his body temperature rose to nearly fifty degrees Celsius, and his heart rate doubled. He dared to challenge White Dragon of a higher level because such Dragon were rather foolish, like wild beasts easily lured into a trap. But the White Dragon before him was clearly more intelligent; it knew that killing the others first would be more advantageous in the battle, and it even realized that it would be difficult for it to easily kill Soren.

Soren cannot allow all his men to die here!

otherwise.

In the end, he couldn't even get the boat back.

Therefore, he had to fight a tough battle against the Adult White Dragon in front of him. The thrill of challenging Legendary Creature across a higher level filled Soren with fighting spirit and excitement!

Dragon are among the creatures he studies the most.

So when the White Dragon in front of him turned its head to face backward, and its abdomen visibly bulged out while its entire body seemed to shrink back, as if it had taken a deep breath, he couldn't help but shout, "Get out of the way! Watch out for Dragon Breath breath!"

Call!

A gust of wind arose.

A chilling Dragon Breath was unleashed over a wide area, covering nearly fifteen meters. Within this cone-shaped area of Dragon Breath, two Elite Pirate were enveloped. Their bodies then froze at a visible speed. This cold was far more astonishing than being directly naked and exposed to the Arctic or Antarctic; their flesh was frozen solid in almost a second or two, until they were completely encased in a layer of ice about three centimeters thick, resembling Ice Golem.

Bang!

The thick, long dragon tail swept over with a whooshing sound, and the two Elite Pirate in front of them shattered into pieces of flesh as if they were broken glass Porcelain. Not a drop of blood was spilled, because the blood had turned to ice. In the blink of an eye, three companions died at the hands of the White Dragon. The other pirates clearly showed a hint of fear, and nearly half of them took several steps back.

Because they discovered that the Dragon was far more difficult to deal with than they had imagined!

Most of the people present were not very confident that they could withstand one of its attacks, after all, it was a behemoth that was more than ten meters long and weighed nearly twenty tons!

A human being is only 1.78 meters tall and weighs only about 200 pounds.

This difference in body size.

A casual strike can be a crushing, deadly attack!

but.

At that very moment, accompanied by the clang of a sword being drawn, Soren descended from the sky, wielding two Scimitar, and pounced on the White Dragon's back like a Cheetah.
