Lin Zhiluo had never expected his earlier sneak attack to instantly kill the Hellfire Dragon.
After all, it was a Legend Grade Boss with 35,000 points of mental power.
The reason Lin Zhiluo had been able to suppress it at the start was that it had just been jolted awake from sleep and struck by a mental shock, greatly reducing its reaction speed and leaving it unable to mount an effective counterattack.
Only now, after suffering heavy injuries, did the Hellfire Dragon finally unleash the strength it should have possessed.
"Roar!"
With the Hellfire Dragon's furious roar, strange patterns surfaced all over its body.
The instant the patterns took shape, torrents of brown flames erupted from every line.
The flames enveloped the Hellfire Dragon's entire body, resembling the form Lin Zhiluo took when he activated his Fire Element Body.
The explosive force of those flames merged with the terrifying aura erupting from the Hellfire Dragon, madly blasting outward in every direction.
Their destructive power even pulverized the massive boulders that had pinned the Hellfire Dragon in place into dust.
Fortunately, Lin Zhiluo had sensed that something was wrong long ago.
The instant the shockwave erupted, he deployed an "Elemental Shield" formed by stacking ten layers of elemental shields, blocking the damage from the impact.
At the same time, he used the tremendous force of the blast to fly sideways, landing steadily on the ground.
"Grrr!"
Having finally gotten to its feet, the Hellfire Dragon did not waste a moment.
Ignoring even the wounds on its body, it charged at Lin Zhiluo at once, gathering a massive Flame Orb in its mouth.
Lin Zhiluo also noticed that although the Hellfire Dragon was flying, great flames sprang up across every stretch of ground it passed over, forming a straight path of fire.
