Dismembering the Red Dragon (Part 2)
--[Shadow Jump]!
Soren's Scimitar piercing seemed to have inflicted considerable physical damage and unimaginable psychological trauma on the Red Dragon, causing it to appear on the verge of going berserk. A flicker of fire even seemed to appear in its pupils as the Red Dragon Red Dragon Rage, lashing its tail in all directions. Large amounts of Dragon Blood gushed from near its excretory organs, and its Toughness Dragon Wing whipped up gusts of wind, sending sand and Sandstorm everywhere. Not only were the nearby elemental Hit Points affected, but even the Githyanki who were too close were caught in the blast of the berserk Red Dragon.
--"Hide Sight!"
Soren's figure vanished into the shadows once more.
Increasing his Shadow Dancer level increased the number of times he Hide Sight. As long as he maintained a certain distance, even Spell that Detect Invisibility would find it difficult to pinpoint his location. Unless someone casts a sixth-ring ' Scrying Eye,' a ranged detection Spell, the Red Dragon clearly doesn't have that level of spellcasting ability. Soren quietly observed the incredibly Rage Red Dragon, waiting for his next opportunity to attack. One must never be hasty in fighting Dragon, as no creature can withstand a single heavy blow from it.
The situation for the Northern Witch seems to be getting a little bad!
Because the high-ranking Witch seems to be running out of Spell Slot, and Wizard ' Spell Slot are never plentiful—even Legendary Wizard need to use Spell sparingly—the sheer number of spells is the most effective tactic against Wizard. Unless Wizard plans to escape using Teleportation Spell, they will eventually run out of spell Spell Slot. Even the powerful Swordmaster who also worked as Wizard eventually had his Spell Slot exhausted and was worn down to death by a group of people.
The Githyanki suffered close to a hundred casualties!
It seems one of the Northern Witch has died, and another is in critical condition, but thankfully Goria is alright.
She had remained near the Eye of the North. For the time being, the Soulknife couldn't threaten her. However, if this dragged on, the situation would become dire. The Eye of the North seemed to be lost in thought, not even preparing Epic Spell at this crucial moment. A high-ranking Witch like Goria, in her Soul Projection state, could at most cast Level 8 Spell, and only one or two Spell Slot at most. This might inflict considerable damage on the enemy, but it would be utterly incapable of turning the tide of battle.
The only thing that can turn the tide is the Eye of the North and another elderly Witch with many white hairs.
She is also Legendary Witch with a class level of around 21!
Bang!
A loud, muffled thud came from behind.
The sound was like a flesh bomb being slammed into the air. Then everyone saw a middle-aged Witch, surrounded by Githyanki, suddenly begin to swell violently, her body undergoing a massive transformation in an instant. She grew to nearly seven meters tall, her body covered in powerful muscles, her heavy breasts resembling large mounds of flesh. Clear, heavy footprints appeared on the ground. The middle-aged Witch, now a Giant, roared and smashed a Githyanki into a pulp with a single punch.
--"Polymorph Frost Giant [Ninth-Circle Spell]!"
Heavy footsteps echoed across the battlefield. A female Frost Giant, nearly two stories tall, slowly rose. A chilling aura seemed to surround her, and her incredibly strong muscles radiated explosive power. Although she was completely naked, which might seem somewhat indecent, no one could ignore the terrifying power emanating from her. It was the aura of Legendary Creature. Frost Giant were Legendary Creature comparable to Dragon; they were Humanoid on earth approaching the pinnacle of power!
This surprise wasn't limited to Soren.
Even the other Witch nearby, including Goria in the midst of the battle, wore expressions of shock, muttering, "Has the Paisley Witch already cracked that Legendary Polymorph Spell Scroll?"
"It seems she has successfully advanced to the Legendary level of Combat Wizard!"
Mage.
Of course, they are not just a group of people who only know how to cast spells. There are also quite unconventional and violent schools of Spell among Wizard.
Change Shape -wielding Combat Wizard are among the best, capable of Polymorph into almost any creature, including beasts, monsters, insects, Golem, Draconic, Demon, and Devil. In battle, besides their original Spell, they can also Polymorph various creatures to deal with enemies and specific geographical environments. The Frost Giant's Change Shape before them is Ninth-Circle Spell, a Legendary- level Polymorph, though the complete version seems to have more than one Change Shape.
"Wrong!"
The Eye of the North also watched the middle-aged Witch who Avatar a gigantic female Frost Giant. She frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This is bad! She hasn't fully cracked the Polymorph. A complete Polymorph should allow her to change form every minute, Change Shape into other Legendary Creature. It seems she can only Change Shape into Frost Giant!"
"It seems she's losing control of herself."
Wizard ' Spell can also be very dangerous.
The most representative example is the Change Shape Spell. Low-level Polymorph have a strong lethality penalty for each transformation, which may cause irreparable damage or even lead to the caster's death during the Change Shape. Therefore, any Change Shape -based Combat Wizard who appear are basically high-level Spellcaster, at which point their Change Shape Spell are much safer. The middle-aged Witch in front of us, who Polymorph Frost Giant, does not seem to be casting the complete Spell, because the complete version of the Polymorph seems to be able to Change Shape near- Legendary Creature such as Steel Golem, Six-Armed Marilith, and Horned Devil.
Roar!
The Eye of the North was right. An uncontrollable look began to appear in the female Frost Giant's eyes, and her expression gradually became frantic. She even began to attack the summoned creatures of her nearby companions.
It has to be said that the Frost Giant, which is over seven meters tall, is truly lethal!
The colossal creature before them slaughtered seven or eight summoned elementals in one go, while also clearing out a swathe of Githyanki nearby. Even without any advanced classes, the combat power of an adult Frost Giant, built solely from the strength gained through eating and sleeping, was enough to crush many present. The female Frost Giant Rage attacked her surroundings, crushing a Githyanki couldn't Dodge in time into a pulp with one stomp. Then she saw the equally berserk Adult Red Dragon ahead.
And so!
Without hesitation, she let out a low growl and pounced on him, completely naked.
Bang!
An invisible wave of energy spread in all directions. As the female Frost Giant charged forward, the Red Dragon also noticed the enormous enemy before it. Without hesitation, it unleashed a Wing Buffet, flapping its powerful Dragon Wing to eliminate the enemy. But a truly astonishing scene unfolded: the female Frost Giant suddenly spread her arms and grabbed the Red Dragon's incredibly strong Dragon Wing, simultaneously arching her body to withstand the entire force of the Dragon's attack.
Thump thump thump!
The female Frost Giant staggered back three steps, but she was neither Wing Buffet nor knocked unconscious by the impact.
The superhuman power of the confrontation shook the surrounding sand and gravel, then spread out in a ring at the moment of impact. The collision of the two forces, which were close to the limits of the Material Plane, caused the ground beneath their feet to tremble, and visible cracks appeared. Frost Giant are not the Hill Giant that you might encounter in the wilderness. Based on the comparison of the two sides' combat power, one Frost Giant can at least fight more than ten Hill Giant.
The difference between them is as obvious as that between the Red Dragon and the White Dragon!
In terms of size, the Adult Red Dragon undoubtedly had the advantage, so even though their strengths were roughly equal, the female Frost Giant was clearly being suppressed. However, what happened next was somewhat unbelievable. The female Frost Giant suddenly grabbed the Red Dragon's Dragon Wing with both hands, then turned and executed a clean and swift over-the-shoulder throw. At her height of over seven meters, using such a move against Adult Red Dragon was not difficult, and everyone saw the massive Red Dragon, weighing tens of tons, being thrown away by her!
As a Wizard, she was also proficient in close combat!
Bang!
The Red Dragon's massive body slammed into the ground, creating a crater. The crushing effect wasn't as pronounced in a battle between two equally large creatures. The female Frost Giant, undeterred by the Red Dragon's attack, successfully seized the initiative with her counterattack. She then turned and charged forward, swinging her millstone-sized fist towards the Red Dragon's head.
"A great opportunity!"
How could Soren, who had been roaming the periphery, let such a good opportunity pass by? As soon as the Adult Red Dragon's body was thrown out, he had already moved in at lightning speed. So when the female Frost Giant pressed her advantage and swung her millstone-sized fist to smash into the Red Dragon's head, Soren also gripped his Scimitar and plunged it into the Red Dragon's leg joint.
It has to be said that the difference in size really makes a big difference in combat!
Soren's attack on the Red Dragon was like piercing an adult's head with a needle; even if it bled, the wound was limited. So, while Soren's piercing attack was painful, the damage wasn't necessarily fatal. Conversely, the massive Frost Giant, with just a punch to the Red Dragon's head, instantly caused the eye socket to swell and turn bruised, almost like an adult punching their eye socket; it was even ruptured.
"Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!..."
The Red Dragon was met with a barrage of punches from the Frost Giant, howling in pain. This was because the Frost Giant didn't have any weapons on the battlefield. If the Frost Giant were given a Full Plate Armor and a weapon weighing over a ton, she could easily wreak havoc in a crowd. Even this Adult Red Dragon might not be able to withstand many blows, but the conditions for that battle were certainly not present.
Many times.
The Wizard were victorious because they were well-prepared, while they died because they were unprepared (due to a sudden encounter).
Some battles are simply impossible to be perfect!
