Nearly a quarter of the Undead Legion had been completely destroyed by Red Iron Dragon's devastating offensive. The remaining skeletons and scattered Soulfire covered the battlefield, like a gray-white carpet of death.
However, the giant dragon, as tall as a mountain and with scales as strong as iron, still seemed calm and unhurried, with high fighting spirit.
On its intertwined black and red dragon scales, Battleworn Mark is as clear as an engraving, as if it carries the memories and glory of countless battles, and its whole body exudes majestic power that seems to never be exhausted.
"Damn it... how did you meet such a ridiculously powerful dragon?"
Lich The blue Soulfire in his eyes swayed violently. For a moment, he could hardly suppress the tremor originating from the depths of his soul.
He was faced with an unprecedentedly difficult decision.
Should we risk everything and continue to fight to the death, or should we stop losses and retreat from the battlefield in time?
Hundreds of years of accumulation and an army of tens of thousands of undead have suffered heavy losses in this sudden encounter.
He couldn't give up now.
Moreover, although his current Life Level has dropped to level 18 and there is still some distance between him and Legendary Realm, his soul essence is still engraved with the mark of the Legendary Realm.
With this body of Lich, he can completely overload Soul Origin and briefly stimulate some of the power that truly belongs to the Legendary Realm.
But if even so, he still can't suppress this Red Iron Dragon, which seems to be born for war... Then he will lose not only the legion.
Due to excessive overdraft, his soul will accelerate its descent into chaos and begin to transform into the undead. Hundreds of years of accumulation will be lost in one go. He may even lose consciousness and be forced to fall into the Eternal Realm eternal sleep.
By then, all ambition and hatred will become a joke in the void.
In the end, the calmness and balance of the human period finally prevailed, temporarily overpowering the almost instinctive greed of the undead for the living.
Phillips made up his mind: retreat, must retreat.
Save the remaining troops, change the target, and wait until one day to return to the Legendary Realm's position, then come to Creekwood Territory, and drag this Red Iron Dragon and its territory into the kingdom of death.
"That's it."
"The entire army retreats--!"
However, just on the right edge of the Undead Legion, behind an ordinary Skeleton Warrior with dull eyes and staggering steps, there was an imperceptible ripple in the space.
A Cross Knight Sword flashing with holy silver light quietly reached out and stabbed the back of the skull with great force.
Precise and ruthless, trying to penetrate its Soulfire core with one blow.
But just when the tip of the sword was about to touch the pale skull, it seemed to hit an invisible but indestructible cliff. All the kinetic energy was absorbed in an instant, making it impossible to make any further progress.
Xia'er's figure stepped out of the void, his brows furrowed.
His wrist flicked rapidly, and the cross sword suddenly turned into silver light and shadow all over the sky, completely covering the skeleton like a violent storm.
The blade of the sword tore through the air and let out a scream, which was enough to instantly shred stainless steel armor, but when it landed on the target, it was unable to leave even the tiniest scratch.
"Something's wrong!"
Xia'er's pupils suddenly shrank, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
It's not that his attacks can't break through defenses, it's that all sword moves are completely blocked by an invisible and absolute barrier before they touch the opponent's body.
As if to respond to his surprise.
The originally dim Soulfire in the skeleton's eyes suddenly erupted into a frightening black light, and the rich Negative Energy flames suddenly rose from all over its body, instantly devouring the fragile skeleton.
In the next second, it lost all disguise.
Withered and blackened flesh quickly covered the bones, and the withered and ferocious face was distorted and deformed - revealing the true appearance of Lich Phillips.
--Paralyzing Touch!
Phillips waved his withered claws, and countless Negative Energy tentacles that were invisible but exuded a biting coldness appeared out of thin air, wrapping around Xia'er like a group of snakes coming out of their holes.
At the same time, several Elite Skeleton Guard and Terror Ghoul around them roared at the same time, encircling them from all directions. In conjunction with Lich's spell, all Xia'er's dodge space was instantly sealed.
Xia'er retreated quickly, sword lights danced into a screen, narrowly avoiding the erosion of Paralyzing Touch, and at the same time, he ducked and dodged the attack of Gargoyle's sharp claws with evil wind.
Without any hesitation, he took a step back and disappeared into the void again.
The next second, he appeared under the huge wing shadow of Red Iron Dragon, his breath slightly chaotic.
"Sir, that guy is extremely weird."
Xia'er's tone was unprecedentedly solemn and he said quickly, "He can perform Absolute Defense similar to the Legendary Realm, but the actual energy intensity does not reach the real Legendary Realm threshold, I speculate that he may have been Legendary Realm during his lifetime, and transformed into Lich after his death, causing his level to fall, but he still retains some of the characteristics and abilities of the Legendary Realm level."
Garos's dragon pupils are as sharp as ever, locking onto Lich in the distance.
On the other end, Phillips was looking back at Red Iron Dragon with those two deep groups of Soulfire, and the corners of his dry mouth seemed to have a cold arc.
"Haha... amazing dragon, your strength far exceeds my initial expectations, and you are worthy of being called a powerful enemy."
Lich's hoarse voice sounded like it was rubbing against bones.
"Just as your keen but overestimating human servant guessed, I, Phillips, once set foot on the top of the mountain and had a glimpse of the scenery above Legendary Realm."
"Now, I'm just stuck in a trough temporarily."
He paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and then continued, "You have proven your worth with your strength, so I am willing to give you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Sacrifice all the creatures in your territory to me and help me return to my position as Legendary Realm."
"I can swear by my origin Soulfire, or I can sign the most stringent contract - when I return to the realm of the Legendary Realm, I will use all my resources and knowledge to help you break through Dragonkin's Legendary Realm barriers!"
"Even for you immortal species, Legendary Realm is a natural chasm. It takes an unimaginable amount of time to accumulate and break through. But if another Legendary Realm helps, this process will be shortened to an extent you cannot imagine."
First Legendary Realm drives then Legendary Realm?
Garos felt no emotion in his heart, and even felt a little ridiculed.
He would not believe even a syllable of such an empty promise.
The way Red Iron Dragon looked at Lich seemed to be sizing up an interesting collection or a rare whetstone.
"Xia'er, you did a good job."
Garos's deep voice sounded. He did not directly respond to Lich, but first affirmed the performance of his dependents.
"Forcing him to reveal his true identity is very important and very good. Leave it to me next."
Phillips's Soulfire jumped suddenly.
The other party's completely indifferent attitude completely angered him, and his hoarse voice suddenly became sharp.
"Stupid dragon! Do you really want to fight in a fight that will hurt both sides? I admit that you are powerful, but even if I can only use a trivial Legendary Realm power, I can still form an insurmountable barrier in front of a mortal creature like you!"
"You simply don't understand that there is an essential difference between the Legendary Realm and non-Legendary Realm."
Red Iron Dragon responded to him with a deeper dragon laugh that seemed to be brewing with a thunderstorm.
"Both sides suffer? That's what I want."
This former Legendary Realm is a perfect trial opponent. He does not have to bear the risk of being crushed by the real Legendary Realm in an instant, but he can personally feel the mystery and intensity of the Legendary Realm's power, thereby more clearly measuring the distance between himself and that threshold.
The last syllable is still echoing in the air, Garos has suddenly erupted.
His huge dragon wings suddenly unfolded, whipping up violent airflow, and rushed straight towards Lich in the wildest and most direct manner.
"Unbelievably stupid!!"
The flow of time seemed to suddenly slow down, Phillips's eyes were burning crazily, and his withered face looked particularly ferocious due to the extreme emotional distortion.
He pressed his withered and decayed bone hands, wrapped with thick Negative Energy, hard to the ground.
Boom!!!
A torrent of Negative Energy that was a hundred times richer and a thousand times colder than before suddenly erupted!
The green runes spread from under his palm like living things, and the surrounding undead fell in pieces, and the bones quickly became gray and brittle, as if all their origins were drained out in an instant.
Not only that, the mountains of undead remains on the battlefield - broken bones, rotten flesh, cracked armor, scattered Soulfire... seemed to be pulled by invisible hands, and turned into gray-white energy flows, rushing towards Phillips crazily.
The ground began to tremble violently.
With Lich as the center, a huge and complex magic Magic Array took shape instantly, and the ground sank like quicksand, forming a bottomless darkness Abyss.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely huge bone hand suddenly poked out from Abyss and grabbed Phillips's body!
The monstrous Negative Energy surges like a tidal wave,
In the blink of an eye, a humanoid Corpse Giant, whose shape is no worse than Garos, rises from the ground!
This is no ordinary Bone Behemoth.
On its rugged back stand numerous sharp bone spurs spliced together by huge vertebrae, as ferocious and jagged as mountain peaks; each bone is as thick as a column, but glows like jade, with ancient and obscure runes engraved on the surface, flowing with the breath of death that has accumulated for thousands of years; in the eye sockets of its skull, two groups of Soulfire are burning like small suns, exuding suffocating pressure.
The figure of Phillips was embedded in the center of the chest of Corpse Giant, wrapped in Negative Energy as thick as liquid.
Those energies glowed with a dazzling blue light, beating like a giant's heart.
He spared no expense and sacrificed all the remaining power of the entire Undead Legion, and finally managed to condense this Corpse Giant that could not be sustained for a long time.
This is his last bet, vowing to capture this Red Iron Dragon, squeeze its dragon soul and power, and make up for the heavy losses.
At this time, Red Iron Dragon was already approaching with the force of wind and thunder. The huge dragon claws were wrapped around the jumping lightning and the solid Dragon Qi, tearing the air, emitting a harsh sonic boom, and swinging down with a crash.
Corpse Giant did not dodge or dodge, but at the same time he raised his terrifying giant claw, which was made of countless sharp finger bones and looked like a battering ram, and struck directly at Red Iron Dragon's head.
Lich, who was in his chest, took the opportunity to raise his withered claws and point his finger at Red Iron Dragon.
--Greater Brittleness Spell!
Without any warning, the dragon scales all over Garos were instantly covered with a layer of gray and dull luster.
Bang! Bang!
Two dull loud noises exploded almost at the same time! Red Iron Dragon's heavy blow entangled with Flame Thunder and Dragon Qi hit Giant's chest hard. Although the opponent's body was shaken violently, it failed to leave any cracks.
A touch feeling like hitting an insurmountable wall is reflected back from the dragon's claws.
"This is... the Absolute Defense characteristic of the Legendary Realm?"
Garos felt awe-struck in his heart.
Just as his mind was spinning and he tilted his head slightly, Corpse Giant's bone claws carrying terrifying kinetic energy hit his shoulder heavily.
The majestic Colossal Strength crushed down, shattering the hard thorns on his shoulders. The layer of dragon scales affected by the embrittlement technique dented and shattered, and the hot Dragon Blood splashed out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Corpse Giant and Red Iron Dragon fought each other in the most violent manner! No matter how ferocious Red Iron Dragon's offensive was, even if Flame Thunder and Dragon Qi were used, they were still unable to break through the invisible field defense.
"It's useless! You idiot! It's all in vain!"
Necromancer Phillips gave a sharp and proud laugh, and the voice buzzed from Giant's chest. "I have said it before - you don't understand what Legendary Realm is!"
"Even if I'm in a desperate situation now and can only display the domain characteristic of Absolute Defense, I am an unshakable wall in front of a mortal like you!"
"You know nothing about the power you challenge!"
--Finger of Death!
He waved his claws again, and a jet-black ray that was condensed to the extreme and exuded the meaning of absolute death came instantly, accurately hitting Red Iron Dragon's chest.
Garos's huge body shook slightly, and the breath of life showed a slight weakening, but it was far from the instant death effect that Legendary Realm Finger of Death should have.
Phillips secretly cursed the dragon's ridiculous vitality, and then completely gave up on inefficient attack spells, and instead started chanting and waving wildly.
Weakness Spell, Slow Spell, Feeblemind Spell, Stun Spell, Curse of Pain, Strength Drain.
All kinds of insidious and vicious negative status spells rained down on Red Iron Dragon like a gust of wind.
At the same time, Corpse Giant's attacks became even more crazy, completely ignoring its own losses, just to pour more damage on the opponent!
Tear--!
The huge bone claw tore the dragon scales apart again, leaving a horrific bone-deep wound on Red Iron Dragon's forelimb, and the gray death energy tried to erode into the body along the wound.
"Exhilarated State cannot break through Absolute Defense."
"Star-Self Visage can't see any weaknesses."
"In this case, there is no point in continuing to test. If you use Bloodburst, just turn on Red Lotus Form!"
Garos looked sharply, and all the fiery energy stored in Dragon Jade was released instantly. Bloodburst State started simultaneously, and Dragon Blood burned inside the body.
Boom!
DONG DONG DONG!!
A heartbeat like the roar of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield! His dragon body expanded again, and all the scales on his body turned a blazing red. Fiery lines of fire spread rapidly along the Battleworn Mark road, intertwining into gorgeous and strange Red Lotus patterns.
Like adding fuel to the fire, the majestic power is superimposed layer by layer, and even the giant arms constructed by Dragon Qi ignite substantial flames and turn into violent claws visible to the naked eye!
Before Lich could react, Red Lotus Form's Garos roared forward.
His four giant arms opened at the same time, like an ancient flytrap that chooses people to eat, and blasted towards Corpse Giant.
Under the shadow of fists all over the sky, Corpse Giant was severely knocked to the ground by the sudden surge of terrifying power.
"Some kind of explosive state? If you survive it, you will win!"
Lich continued to sneer, and controlled Giant to huddle up and defend, resisting the violent storm of attacks.
Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!
Each heavy blow is like a meteor hitting the earth, causing violent tremors and roars in the surrounding ground.
Corpse Giant was tightly suppressed in the deep pit, and the ground beneath him continued to collapse and sink, forming a huge pit that became deeper and deeper.
What is splashing around is no longer mud, but glass-like substances and boiling steam that have been melted by high temperatures!
Xia'er, who was watching the battle not far away, was so frightened that his eyes couldn't help but twitch. He was extremely grateful that he was sober enough and not arrogant enough to challenge Garos's majesty, otherwise the outcome would definitely not be pretty.
But even with such a terrifying, Calamity-like attack, can it really defeat the legendary Legendary Realm?
Xia'er grasped the hilt of the sword tightly, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
He couldn't be sure.
Garos himself didn't know the answer. He just vented the surging energy in his body that was almost bursting the dragon's body Colossal Strength without any reservation. Every blow was hearty, as if he was beating the hardest piece of wrought iron.
Finally, after hundreds of super-high-speed blows.
Click.
A small, yet clear sound like thunder at this moment, suddenly echoed among the continuous roaring and explosions.
Garos's extremely keen combat intuition instantly caught the strange sound, and his eyes suddenly locked on the source of the sound.
I saw a hair-like tiny but real crack on one of the forearm bones that Corpse Giant was blocking.
In his chest, the sneer on Lich's face froze instantly.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!!"
He roared uncontrollably.
Even if his current domain strength is far less than that in his heyday, how could he be forcibly broken by the power of mortal things?!
This means that the opponent's power has completely exceeded the scope of his cognition, so that he can forcefully break through the Absolute Defense domain characteristics constructed by cognition before his power is exhausted.
What a ridiculous and terrifying power this is?!
"Nothing is impossible."
Red Iron Dragon opened his huge mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
The four giant arms, knotted with muscles, covered in blazing Red Lotus Pattern, and burning with blazing fire, were like pile drivers, pouring out madly along the cracks.
The cracks spread quickly, expanding like a spider web.
Thirty seconds later,
Buzz--!
Red Iron Dragon's main body arms and two Dragon Qi giant arms suddenly overlapped and merged. The thick Dragon Arm expanded again, and the muscles stretched and bulged like steel cables.
The next moment,
The right fist branded with Red Lotus Pattern smashed down like a meteor!
Boom!
The unstoppable Colossal Strength hit the domain wall heavily, and countless cracks exploded to the limit in an instant, followed by a scream as if glass had completely shattered.
Phillips's Legendary Realm broke in response!
Boom!
Another heavy punch followed, and another Dragon Arm instantly penetrated Corpse Giant's chest, tearing apart the dense Negative Energy layer, grabbing Lich's true form in his claws, and ruthlessly pulling him out of the body.
"Legendary Realm, nothing more than that."
Red Iron Dragon stood in the center of a huge depression like a crater, shaking his head slightly disappointedly.
Necromancer struggled wildly between his claws and said unwillingly, "My domain is less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak! If I were still Legendary Realm, no matter how powerful you are, there is no way I can break it!"
Garos tilted his head slightly, a trace of ridicule flashed in his dragon eyes. "Then, what if I am also Legendary Realm?"
Lich's tone paused
He opened his mouth, but no syllable came out, and he was completely speechless.
The cruel reality is more devastating than any attack. Garos used pure power to crush Phillips's last pride as Legendary Realm.
