The tables turned

' Gray Dragon ' Hart also saw ' Lai's ' movements, but it couldn't come up with a good response at all.

He was in the moment of preparing his Breath, and if the Breath inside him wasn't exhaled, it would harm him, so he couldn't move.

However, his years of combat experience were not to be underestimated, and he knew that if he continued to conserve his strength at this time, he would be making himself a sitting duck.

Then he lowered his dragon head, and gray, charged mist sprayed out, crackling as soon as it came into contact with the air.

Just then, ' Lai ' had already darted under Hart. Although Hart had adjusted his position in time, he only managed to get his Breath hit ' Lai ' in the left shoulder.

The reason why ' Gray Dragon ' Hart is called a dragon is because through his long exploration of the Spirit Realm, he has become like a true pure-blooded Dragonkin. Other Dragon Clan might even mistake him for a member of their own Dragon Clan if they don't sense him carefully.

This naturally includes his ability to Breath; his Breath is no different from that of Dragonkin, and in fact, due to his exploration of the Spirit Realm, his Breath is even stronger.

' Lai's' body had not yet reached the third tier, and it was like a sheet of paper in front of these Breath. It was torn to shreds by the Breath.

However, the Sunflame burned away the Breath gas, preventing it from remaining on ' Lai's' body, and at this moment, ' Lai's' Proxy ability finally came in handy.

With a flash of light, ' Lai ' felt the stinging pain in his left shoulder disappear without a trace. When he moved his left arm again, it was as if the pain he had just felt was a phantom pain.

Of course, this self-healing ability is not unlimited; it's just that ' Lai ' has a lot of Divine Power, enough for her to keep these three Profession fighting for ten minutes without them exhausting her current divine Divine Power.

Hart continued to unleash his Breath, and Tobias noticed that ' Lai ' was about to attack Hart. He tried to stop it but was forced to take a half step back by Hart's Breath.

If you were to be hit by the Dragon Clan ' Breath, it would be no laughing matter. Even a third-tier Physical Profession could be seriously injured if they were to take the full force of the Breath, let alone someone whose physical body is somewhat inferior to that of a third-tier Physical Profession.

Furthermore, ' Lai ' and Hart were currently too close together, and any ranged divine spells used could potentially harm Hart. Therefore, Tobias had no choice but to temporarily stop, watching as ' Lai ' continued to approach.

' Lai's' body suddenly shot upwards, completely losing her forward momentum. This was due to her ability to adjust her direction in mid-air, a skill granted by her Elven Swordsmanship.

She swung the blood-red dagger in a wide arc, and taking advantage of her proximity to Hart, she pointed her other hand at the crack she had made.

The bodies of third-tier Dragonkin are indeed very powerful, and ' Lai ' naturally could not affect it with the Blood Law Sword Art.

However, this obviously does not include temporarily healed wounds, or situations where manipulated blood remains on the outside.

The wound that had just been cut suddenly burst open, and blood gushed out. Hart almost lost control of his Breath, causing it to explode inside, but thankfully he managed to stay steady and didn't fall directly.

Just then, an elongated, blood-red sword pierced his abdomen, and he felt his blood surging up and rushing to his wound.

Even if ' Lai ' hadn't done anything more, this could still be considered the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing him to fall from the sky.

' Lai ' not only used the sword techniques of Blood Law Sword Art, but she also used the core move of Broken Wing Sword Art - Broken Wing.

"Almost there." After swinging the sword, ' Lai ' was somewhat disappointed. This strike did not directly advance her Broken Wing Sword Art to the Extraordinary Level.

Hart felt as if his dragon wings were out of control, completely frozen. However, the wings were only useful to him in adjusting the airflow and allowing him to function more quickly.

After all, Dragonkin mostly rely on their own flying abilities to take flight; their wings are merely decorative and serve to make flight faster.

But when his dragon wings froze, he sensed something inexplicable: his ability to fly seemed to have failed.

It was as if his nostrils were blocked by something and his ears were tightly wrapped in latex. His ability to fly was also blocked in this way, making it impossible for him to use it at all.

The enormous Dragon Body fell downwards, tumbling slowly in the air before crashing belly-up onto the burning continent. The intense heat from its back spread rapidly, but Hart could still endure it.

The moment ' Lai ' landed, Tobias prepared his divine spell. Countless flying blades struck, scraping against Hart's hard Dragon Scale with an unpleasant sound.

Several flying blades pierced ' Lai's' body hard. Although they stung a little, it wasn't too bad for ' Lai '.

The Sunflame will burn away the illusory blades formed by these Divine Grace, and when the blades within the wound disappear, the Proxy's power will instantly heal her wound.

Even if these flying blades wouldn't harm her, this distraction cost ' Lai ' the chance to continue dealing with Hart.

This is the drawback of fighting against multiple enemies; every time ' Lai ' tried to expand his gains, he was interrupted by the enemy.

Even though the enemy's coordination wasn't perfect, it still prevented ' Lai ' from establishing a sufficient advantage.

Furthermore, as time goes by, the advantages that ' Lai ' previously established have been largely eroded.

Blue flames swept in from the sky. Sensing the threat, ' Lai ' had no choice but to jump aside, giving up his position to get closer to Hart and prevent Hart from being harmed.

"Holden, it's been a minute, why are you so late?" Tobias complained, glancing at Holden with obvious displeasure.

"It's a bit late. I'm not fast, and it will take some time to investigate the effects of the attack, but now that I'm here, I can find out everything..."

Holden, the "Void Image," wore a solemn expression. This was a situation he had never encountered since entering the third tier and establishing his reputation as the "Void Image."

His process of summoning the Golem was interrupted. In the past, if one was unwilling to directly expend 80% of their Mental Power, they could only slowly summon the Golem Golem.

He had always acted this way when facing unknown enemies and unknown environments. Although the Golem was powerful, it could not completely protect him, so he had always been this cautious.

He was worried about being interrupted when he summoned the Golem, since the Golem was in a transitional state before it was fully summoned. If this transitional state was terminated by an inappropriate method, it could backfire on him.

Just like now, his mind is buzzing, and casting spells is a beat slower, but he can still barely fight.

Originally, after trying it out, he wasn't worried about the backlash, because the Golem would give him a 10% Mental Power bonus Third Order Mage. That 10% alone was enough to save him from many interruptions.

But what had just happened? It wasn't until he got closer that he realized the spell was Mental Contest, a very common Spirit Realm spell at the second tier.

Could it be that the opponent's Mental Power is even stronger than his, even with a 10% boost? How is that possible?

Furthermore, on his way here, he witnessed ' Lai ' fighting Tobias to a standstill, leaping forward and directly shooting down Hart —a skill clearly not something a mage with strong Mental Power should possess.

' Lai ' retreated to the other side. Seeing that none of the three had launched an attack, she simply stayed in place and defended herself. She also canceled her Mental Power and Steam Concerto, and instead used her Mental Power to control the Earth Element whose activity had slightly decreased.

Elements that have undergone Elemental Conversion will experience a slight decrease in activity if they are not maintained with Mental Power, which may even affect the outcome of subsequent Elemental Conversion.

However, once ' Lai ' transforms the elements a third time, she can use Elemental Regression to unleash a powerful attack on all three of them.

Hart's Dragon Body churned on the ground, then he suddenly straightened up. He flapped his wings, but couldn't take flight. A sense of frustration and anger swirled in his dragon eyes.

"Tobias, you need not assist me. Recite your prayer to strengthen your power."

"Holden, if you're too scared to continue summoning Golem after being interrupted just once, then stay here."

Holden looked indignant; the memory of Lai interrupting his spellcasting was still fresh in his mind. He dared not gamble on whether Lai had found any item in the Spirit Realm that could cancel spell cooldowns, so he dared not summon the Golem again.

Just as he was about to say something, Hart raised his dragon head, and a somewhat hoarse dragon roar silenced all his movements.

"Roar--!!"

Hart's gray Dragon Scale suddenly turned silver, as if he had activated some kind of ability.

Tobias reacted quickly, immediately raising his Golden Longsword high, the crimson tip of which slowly turned back to gold.

"May the Lord make our weapons invincible and unbreakable..."

"May the Lord give us courage to wield our weapons and overcome all obstacles..."

"May the Lord protect those who forsake their armor and are willing to burn themselves..."

Tobias made a small oversight: Dragonkin do not wear armor, but their scales are their best defense, and for the Dragon Clan, their entire body is also their weapon.

Of course, this isn't something any follower of the God of War can do; even he, with this ceremonial longsword temporarily blessed by the Deity, could accomplish it.

Blood red and silver hues surrounded Hart, Hart felt he had inexhaustible power, and a Magic Glow emanated from him— Holden was casting Haste on him.

For Dragonkin of this size, it's not easy to apply Haste.

"Roar--" Hart roared again, the enormous sound almost pressing down the surrounding ground that was bearing the burning material, and the sound wave seemed to spread through the air.

Silver and blood-red left faint marks and huge claw marks on the ground. Hart burst through the air, heading towards ' Lai ' with a series of explosions.

' Lai ' dared not fight back, so he could only abandon the Earth Element he had only partially converted, gripped the blood-red longsword in his hand, and forcefully tilted it to the side.

' Lai ' was thrown into the air as if she had been thrown out. Although she did not suffer a direct impact, her arms were still trembling slightly.

With a quick side slide, Hart the entire dragon to change speed instantly and charge at ' Lai ' again.

but...

"That's enough." This time, ' Lai ' didn't dodge.

The silver Dragon Body seemed to have crashed into a wall, pushing the wall away by only half a step. The earth shook uncontrollably, and cracks appeared rapidly under its feet as if they were free.

A powerful gust of air swept outwards, nearly causing Holden was some distance away, to fall backwards.

' Lai ' reached out and pressed against Hart's dragon head, stopping Hart's limbs, that was all.

However, with a squeeze of her hand, the hard scales in the center of the dragon's eye shattered instantly.
