Fierce Battle
The sound of air bursting.
A pillar of blue and white fire spewed from the Red Dragon, descending like divine punishment, and crashed directly towards the Fire Giant Pasha.
The terrifying temperature distorted the surrounding space, and even the Fire Elemental Plane could not withstand it.
[Primordial Flame Breath]
"Flame Lord!"
His face was pale from the firelight, and he couldn't help but pray before raising his shield with all his might.
Struck by such a breath—
You'll die!
Even though Ismail is the essence of Fire Elemental, he could not withstand this high-level energy.
His rings and necklace glowed simultaneously, and several protective spells were activated in succession, with layers of magical hemispheres appearing above the Fire Giant.
"Boom!"
The energy collided, causing an explosion.
Flames burst forth, and a chaotic Tide of Elements surged around them.
However, the stalemate lasted only a few seconds. The next moment, a blue-white pillar of fire pierced through several layers of magical protection and struck the Fire Giant's shield.
"Red Dragon— "
Ismail raised his shield high, his arm muscles bulging, and actually withstood the pillar of fire.
However, his entire body was compressed by that powerful force, causing the earth to crack and reveal flowing magma.
The Fire Giant blocked the breath attack while moving across the ground, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
However, an inconspicuous dark green light flashed past.
The Fire Giant didn't notice that Keosius, high in the sky, had just extended a claw and aimed it at him.
"Bang!"
A dark green beam struck the shield, followed by the release of a spherical disintegration magic field.
The Ancient Beast Shield immediately became dull and lifeless, cracks appeared on its surface, and then it shattered into a pile of dust.
"This is--"
"Oh no, Greater Disintegrate!"
Ismail's expression changed drastically, but he was a man of rich combat experience and reacted the moment the disintegration field came into contact with the other equipment.
Anti-Magic Field
The silver ring on his finger lit up, Anti-Magic Field suddenly appeared, blocking the disintegrating force field.
The Greater Disintegrate has a 1% chance of destroying Anti-Magic Field and artifacts, but the Fire Giant was not so unlucky.
For powerful Fighter, such protective Magic Equipment is standard issue.
Ismail suddenly rolled forward, then passed through space and appeared hundreds of meters away.
"Dragon Sorcerer"
"This is getting a bit tricky."
Ismail looked up at the giant dragon high in the sky, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
Red Dragon on its own is already a natural fighting machine.
Their scorching breath, sharp teeth, and thick tails are all incredibly powerful weapons, not to mention their innate ability to cast spells.
Red Dragon Sorcerer, in addition to the regular inherited spells, can also learn even more unpredictable spells, which makes them even more terrifying.
Engage in a long-range spell battle with a Sorcerer often serves as a "turret".
It doesn't seem like a good idea at all.
But Keosius didn't give Ismail much time to think before turning away.
The pillar of fire plowed across the earth, creating deep furrows, and swept mercilessly toward the Fire Giant Pasha.
At this moment, he had lost the legendary [Ancient Beast Shield] and could only flee in panic across the land.
"No, this can't go on!"
Rolling forward again to dodge the sweeping pillar of fire, Ismail gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.
There's no other way.
The Red Dragon's breath was truly terrifying, and it also possessed various Sorcerer's techniques. If this continued, it would only be defeated.
Even death! The Fire Giant Pasha roared angrily, "Red Dragon, I originally intended to use the power bestowed upon me by the Grand Sultan to Contend Against the Holy Flame Prince!"
"But—you've angered me!"
Ismail roared to the sky, the adamantine ring around his neck spinning continuously, releasing a powerful force.
The earth was trembling.
The surrounding flames were flickering.
The entire Fire Elemental Plane seemed to be cheering, with steam billowing, flames dancing, and clumps of ash raining down from the sky.
They all seemed to be experiencing some kind of strange resonance with the Fire Giant Pasha.
The natural rulers of the Elemental Plane, each giant has a natural connection to the plane.
The most powerful giants, however, can harness this power.
Keosius didn't have the habit of waiting for others to transform; he unleashed a series of extremely cold ice waterfalls, flashing lightning, and blazing white pillars of fire.
However, these breaths were blocked by the power of the Fire Elemental Plane's rules, unable to break through the barrier formed by flames, ash, and steam.
Keosius could certainly use a more powerful ability.
But this is unnecessary.
He gazed at the roaring Fire Giant in the distance, a hint of interest flashing in his pale golden pupils.
"Is this the power of that Grand Sultan?"
"Tsk, I was just thinking, no wonder the system gave him Challenge Rating of 24. This kind of guy is more interesting."
Ismail's chanting echoed across the land.
"O Flame Lord, I pray to you in the name of the Children of the Elemental Plane."
"I beg you to grant me the power to repel the invaders!"
"Boom!"
A pillar of fire shot into the sky!
Amidst the dazzling flames and enveloped in a cloud of steam, Ismail's body rapidly expanded, growing ever larger.
Finally, the giant, nearly thirty meters tall, stood on the land where lava flowed and flames raged, and let out a deafening roar.
"Red Dragon!"
"You've angered the worst enemy you could have ever provoked!"
"I, the noble fire giant Pasha Ismail, in the name of the Great Sultan, grant you my end!"
Ismail raised his Brass Scimitar high, glaring angrily at the Red Dragon in the distance.
His body was enveloped in wispy flames, rippling with lava-like patterns, and the surrounding space fluctuated with his movements.
The Fire Elemental Plane is the essence and embodiment of fire.
As the essence of the Fire Elemental, and claiming to be the ruler of the Fire Elemental Plane, the Fire Giant Pasha has temporarily grasped a wisp of "plane power".
"Ismail".
"Now you're the one who deserves my slightly more serious attention!"
Keosius exhaled a breath of hot Sulfur Scent air, his expression excited as he gazed at the colossal giant standing on the earth.
He slowly flapped his wings and took to the air once more.
[Undying Reverse Scale]
[Graceful Dragon]
[Immune Energy Damage]
[Greater Energy Scales]
The Red Dragon's body shimmered with interwoven magical light, and various blessing spells covered every inch of his body.
Moreover, Keosius is now even more extravagant. He not only possesses Dragon Spell of his own, but the gaps in his scales are also inlaid with a lot of Magic Equipment presented as tribute by the imperial subjects.
Even his Wing Membrane were painted with various spells such as [Otilluke's Dispelling Screen] and [Shining Tattoos].
—This is what Keosius learned from the "Silver Wing" Oszedro.
"Damn crawler"
Ismail felt the surge of power within him and glared hatefully at the Red Dragon in the distance, wishing he could tear it to pieces.
This is an ability that can only be used once every hundred years.
He originally intended to use this power to make a name for himself in the Burning War and achieve great things.
But the sudden appearance of the Red Dragon ruined his plans and even threatened his life.
"Red Dragon! You are very powerful!"
"But you can never defeat a noble Fire Giant Pasha, in the Fire Elemental Plane!"
"Boom!"
Ismail roared and stomped his foot, cracking the earth, while his massive body leaped hundreds of meters into the air.
The Fire Giant Pasha, trailing ash and smoke behind him, swung his scimitar back with all his might, charging alone towards the Red Dragon high in the sky.
The Brass Scimitar sliced through space, its surface bathed in a scorching light.
