"Boom!"
The Electric Breath, like surging plasma, tore through the atmosphere while creating a roar, seemingly affecting even the Dimensional Gap and causing more distortions.
The graceful dragon flapped its wings, soaring through the air while unleashing a devastating Electric Breath towards Leo. Leo felt his hair stand on end, and even before being touched by the Electric Breath, his body was already numb.
"Whoosh!"
Leo unfurled his ten Devil Wings and ascended into the sky faster than lightning, avoiding the Electric Breath that shook the atmosphere and the earth.
However, the dragon had already closed in on Leo, its tail blurring into a streak as it lashed out at him with a terrifying Sonic Boom.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Leo's body was smashed apart.
Like shattered rock, Leo's body shattered, turning into a sky full of Yellow Sand that scattered in all directions.
But the Yellow Sand quickly gathered together again, coalescing into Leo's original form, allowing Leo to narrowly escape the attacking dragon and fly off in another direction.
The dragon immediately flapped its wings and stopped its charge, but then, relentlessly, it charged at Leo again, spewing out Electric Breath that enveloped him completely.
"No—what grudge do we have against each other?"
Leo sped through the air, his entire body transforming into a streak of light. His speed was no slower than that of the Electric Breath, but the dragon's head merely turned slightly, and the Electric Breath swept towards him relentlessly, making Leo laugh in exasperation.
The other party attacked me without saying a word, which was bad enough, but now it's acting like it won't let it go. Anyone who didn't know better would think I stole its eggs, which is why it's acting so crazy.
"Since you want to fight, then I'll play along to the end."
The Dragon King is nothing. In the past, I certainly had to avoid him, but now I might be able to fight him.
Having made up his mind, Leo stopped running and abruptly changed direction, charging straight towards the dragon.
The dragon naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by, unleashing an Electric Breath Electric Breath filled Leo's entire field of vision.
Leo stared intently at the oncoming Electric Breath, and at the very moment he was about to be hit, he activated " Hope of Nature," transforming into a bolt of Lightning and darting into the Electric Breath.
"Boom!"
Electric Breath vibrated the atmosphere, bursting forth from above the floating land, piercing the sky, and shooting straight towards the boundless end of the Dimensional Gap.
The incredibly powerful breath attack stopped after a few seconds.
This was because Leo, transformed into Lightning, burst forth from the Electric Breath and arrived in front of the dragon's head, punching the unexpectedly delicate-looking face.
"Bang!!!"
The next moment, Fire Wave erupted on the dragon's face.
Flames suddenly ignited on Leo's fist, and as the fist struck the dragon's head, the flames exploded, unleashing an astonishing impact.
The dragon was sent flying by the sudden punch, crashing into the massive castle and collapsing a corner of it.
The punch seemed to have stunned it; its body remained motionless for a long time after crashing to the ground, only its head was shaking, as if it were dizzy.
"Comfortable!"
Leo felt a sudden clarity of mind, and the frustration of being hit in the face by the dragon's breath instantly dissipated.
Unexpectedly, the dragon, having regained its senses, seemed to be angered as well. After flinging away the rubble and debris that had been pressing down on it, it unleashed another Electric Breath at Leo in mid-air.
"Again?"
Seeing that the other party was still relentless, Leo raised an eyebrow, his figure transformed into Lightning once again, and rushed into the oncoming Electric Breath. He charged forward in the torrent of Electric Breath and arrived straight in front of the dragon.
Just as he was about to use the same trick again to punch this ungrateful dragon, the dragon learned its lesson. The moment Leo transformed back into human form from its Lightning form, it stopped breathing and lunged at Leo with its gaping maw, intending to swallow him whole.
Of course, Leo wouldn't just stand by and watch his opponent swallow him whole. With a flap of his ten Devil Wings, he flashed away, dodging the sudden lunge.
Seeing this, the dragon raised its massive claw and slammed it at Leo, creating a howling gust of wind, but Leo still managed to dodge it.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"----
Leo's figure darted back and forth, playing a game of hide-and-seek with the dragon at close range, dodging the dragon's sharp claws time and time again.
"Bang!"
Seeing that it could not hit Leo, the dragon's tail moved again, turning into a blur and striking Leo with Sonic Boom, exploding his body once more.
This time, Leo's body exploded into countless blocks of ice.
But these ice blocks fell onto the dragon like snowflakes, stuck to its body, and gradually expanded and solidified, slowly freezing the dragon.
"Boom!"
The dragon shuddered, as if sensing something was wrong, and immediately unleashed its aura, letting its gradient Dragon Aura explode and shatter the ice on its body.
Leo's figure materialized as a gust of snow drifted by, and he punched the giant dragon in front of him.
"Bang!!!"
This time, what erupted from the dragon's head was not flames, but a storm.
Leo's punch was enveloped in a raging storm, making Leo fist like a mortar, and he sent the dragon flying high into the air.
The dragon felt a sharp pain on its face, and its body was sent flying uncontrollably, almost flying out of this land floating in the Dimensional Gap.
With great difficulty, the dragon flapped its wings and struggled to maintain its balance in the high sky. However, the burning sensation on its face made it very unhappy, and a look of grievance appeared in its eyes as it stared at Leo.
"What are you complaining about?"
Leo was completely taken aback by that pitiful look in his eyes.
You were the one who struck first, weren't you?
You're the one who's being so persistent, aren't you?
What are you feeling wronged about?
And—is that kind of look really appropriate on you?
Please, you're a dragon.
To be honest, this was the first time Leo had ever seen a dragon with such a wronged expression in its eyes, and it left him completely bewildered.
Fortunately, this situation came and went quickly; the dragon soon swooped down again, charging straight at Leo and launching an attack.
"Boom--"
Electric Breath descended from the sky, striking the earth and shattering the land with terrifying force, stirring up thick dust and gravel.
Instead of transforming into Lightning and charging into the Electric Breath, Leo used the ten Devil Wings on his back to unleash his speed, dodging the incredibly powerful Electric Breath and engaging in a chase with the dragon.
The dragon chased after Leo, constantly spewing its breath, while Leo flew ahead, displaying acrobatic skills as he dodged the attacks from behind time and time again with difficult maneuvers, leaving the dragon only able to chase after him and eat his dust.
Of course, as the battle progressed, Leo also began to fight back.
"Boom!"
This time, it wasn't the noise caused by Electric Breath shattering the earth, but the noise of lightning and thunder in the sky.
Leo then took control of the weather over this land, summoning dark clouds and thunder, causing bolts of lightning to fall from the sky and strike the dragon, hitting its body.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Lightning struck the dragon in succession, enveloping its entire body in lightning.
Such an attack would have scorched anyone else, even the thick-skinned Dragon King, to the ground, leaving them charred and smoking, never to rise again.
To Leo's surprise, the dragon was completely unharmed.
Its fur remained soft and smooth, its body still graceful and elegant, and its eyes were even narrowed, revealing an expression of enjoyment, as if it were very... pleasant?
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the Lightning that struck the dragon had been completely absorbed, leaving only a layer of electric light flickering on its surface.
"Absorb Lightning ----?"
Leo was quite surprised.
"It has this ability?"
What kind of dragon is this? Azure Thunder Dragon?
Can the Azure Thunder Dragon absorb Lightning?
Leo really doesn't know much about it.
The Azure Thunder Dragon is a superior species among Dragon Race, belonging to the Thunder element. It uses blue lightning and electric shocks, and its lightning and electric shocks will only harm those it perceives as enemies, not its own kind, especially those with pure hearts. Such people are particularly favored by the Azure Thunder Dragon Azure Thunder Dragon, causing it to unconsciously lower its guard.
"But the Azure Thunder Dragon doesn't look like this. Could it be a subspecies or a mutant?"
Leo was puzzled, but he didn't dwell on the question too much.
The dragon before us clearly possesses the power of Dragon King Class, yet it is not among the current Five Great Dragon Kings, which only proves one thing.
Alternatively, this dragon may have only recently ascended to the Dragon King Class, which is why no one knows of its existence.
Alternatively, this dragon's history might be even longer than that of the Five Great Dragon Kings, so long that people have forgotten about it.
Of the two possibilities, Leo leans more towards the latter.
Because this place looks like it has been through a long period of time to become so dilapidated, and since the dragon in front of us has appeared here, it is very likely that it was exiled to the Dimensional Gap along with this land.
If that's the case, then the dragon before us has existed for just as long as this land has existed in the Dimensional Gap.
Perhaps the other party only ascended to the Dragon King Class during these long years, and has remained here without being seen by anyone, which is why it is not among the Five Great Dragon Kings.
The dragon had no idea that Leo was thinking so much. After absorbing all the lightning bolts that struck down from the sky, it was still somewhat unsatisfied. It looked up at the dark clouds amidst the lightning and thunder, as if it wanted to rush in and feast on them.
Seeing this, Leo immediately changed the weather, dispelling the lightning and thunder, and instead sending up a cold wind that whipped up Ice Gravel, causing the temperature of the entire world to plummet.
It began to snow heavily, which quickly turned into a blizzard, catching the dragon completely off guard and engulfing it, its body covered in frost.
"Boom!"
The dragon immediately used the same trick again, unleashing its massive Dragon Aura, shattering the frost on its body, and roaring at Leo.
That was as if they were saying, "Why don't you keep striking down lightning?"
"Good grief, you were just feeling wronged, and now you're asking for it, huh?"
Leo had never seen such a shameless person—no, such a dragon.
"Want some thunder? Eat my fire first!"
Leo raised his hands high, and his pure white aura surged, causing fiery red flames to ignite above his head and rapidly expand.
In the blink of an eye, a huge Flame Vortex appeared above Leo's head and compressed under Leo's control.
Before long, the Flame Vortex, which was tens of meters in diameter, was compressed into a fire lotus the size of a palm.
The fire lotus was a deep, purplish-red, and scorching hot, like a nuclear bomb about to explode, radiating terrifying destructive energy.
"Last time we dealt with Kokabiel, we replicated the Earth Explosion Star attack; this time, let's replicate the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus!"
Leo held the fire lotus in one hand, and in the firelight, a frightening smile appeared on his lips.
Go!
Immediately, Leo threw the fire lotus in his hand, causing it to transform into a fiery red streak of light that tore through space, pierced the sky, and swept towards the direction where the giant dragon was.
i
The dragon seemed to sense the danger of this attack, and without saying a word, it unleashed Electric Breath Electric Breath blasted towards the fire lotus.
Unfortunately, the dragon used the wrong approach.
The incredibly powerful Electric Breath, upon touching the fire lotus, did not engulf it. Instead, it was as if it had touched the sun's cream, easily separated by the fire lotus which had transformed into a stream of fiery red light.
As the fire lotus parted the Electric Breath, it shot straight toward the dragon with undiminished momentum, finally passing right through the Electric Breath and crashing into the dragon's body as the dragon's pupils constricted in shock.
The world stood still for a few seconds.
A few seconds later----
"Boom!!!!!!"
A tremendous explosion erupted above the land floating in the Dimensional Gap.
The flames engulfed the entire world in that instant.
High temperatures have become the sole dominant feature here.
The terrifying explosion unleashed a storm of wind and flames that even toppled mountains and shattered wastelands. Even the castle seemed to crumble apart in the shockwave, disintegrating bit by bit.
A scorching storm also swept through the Dimensional Gap, causing this floating land to sink.
The scene was as if a sun had exploded there, more terrifying than the end of the world.
If this massive explosion hadn't occurred in the Dimensional Gap, it would have caused a massive destructive catastrophe in any world, killing countless people.
Even Leo, in order to avoid being injured by the aftershocks of the porcelain explosion, entered the " Hope of Nature | State" the instant the fire lotus burst open, transforming into flames within it.
The explosion lasted for a long time, lingering thereafter.
