Compared to the silence from the outside world, the person involved, Dragon Aibodi, was a little overwhelmed. He had thought that his heavy blow from the sky, even if it couldn't completely kill the human, would at least severely injure him.
Unexpectedly, as Aibodi folded his dragon wings and, like an arrow released from a bow, tore through space and broke through the thick layer of dust to enter the bottom of the giant pit, suddenly, a large hand covered in rock armor reached out from the side, roughly grabbed his neck, and slammed him to the ground.
What followed was a relentless barrage of Iron Fist, each punch landing squarely, leaving Aibodi dizzy and feeling as if his skull would crack if this continued.
Although he didn't understand why this human seemed like a different person after landing, Aibodi knew that his most important task at this moment was to break free from his restraints and return to the sky.
With this thought in mind, Aibodi desperately mobilized the vast energy within his body, and a dazzling blue light shone deep within his flesh.
'Thunderous Purgatory - Dragon Scale Thorns!'
Boom!!
A deafening roar of lightning erupted, instantly engulfing the entire crater. Sharp cones formed from condensed electric arcs pierced through the crater, their tips flashing with a cold light. Their spiral structure caused them to spin wildly, possessing unparalleled penetrating power.
Ding ding ding!!
The spiraling dragon scales collided with Lancelot's earth armor, producing a crisp, piercing sound and tearing clearly visible trenches into the ground.
Pieces of stone armor fell off. Because the dragon scale spikes were mainly aimed at the head, the veil was quickly destroyed, exposing Lancelot's cheeks. This forced him to free his hands and cross them together to cover his head.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Aibodi exerted all his strength with his limbs and struggled to his feet in a rather comical and clumsy manner. With his dragon wings flapping, accompanied by gales and thunder, the entire dragon was about to soar into the sky.
On Earth, the power of that human Epic underwent a transformative amplification. He himself was Demigod True Dragon, with a physical body strong enough to derail planets, yet he was being beaten down by the other party, almost powerless to resist, and could only break free by using energy attacks in the end. It was simply outrageous.
"Could it be that he possesses the bloodline of the Earth Giant?" This thought couldn't help but cross Aibodi's mind.
Seeing that Aibodi was about to run away, Lancelot became anxious. He had finally managed to lure this Demigod True Dragon to the ground, and he couldn't let him leave no matter what.
With this thought in mind, Lancelot hardened his heart, completely ignoring the attack of the dragon scale spikes. He bent his legs, his muscles bulged, and Endless power pumped out from his cells. He sprang up and grabbed Aibodi's right hind leg ankle with both hands.
At the same time, the earth and rocks on the ground rose up, forming a giant mouth, as if a volcano had sprung up out of thin air, swallowing Lancelot's lower body, thus connecting his body to the earth and fixing him to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a torrent of earth essence flowed into Lancelot's body from all directions along the earth's veins, allowing him to maintain his terrifying power.
With his eyes wide with rage, Lancelot exhaled a breath that turned into thunder, and with a forceful flick, slammed the True Dragon in his hand onto the ground again, creating a huge crater.
Thump!!
The earth trembled, and countless spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards, as if to reach the ends of the earth.
Aibodi turned around in shock and anger, his eyes narrowing at the sight before him.
What came into view was a head that was almost disfigured, with piercing wounds all over the cheeks, the skin torn open, and the two Black Hole eye sockets filled with blood and flesh. It would not be an exaggeration to describe Lancelot at this moment as a bloody skeleton.
Even in this state, Lancelot still grinned without any apparent reaction. As his smile spread, a piece of flesh that had been teetering on the brink of collapse tore off, looking utterly terrifying.
"Got you!" the fleshy skeleton said, its voice hoarse and grating due to the destruction of its vocal cords.
"Madman!"
Aibodi's heart sank. He hated these battle maniacs the most, who hardly cared about their own lives and were like bloodthirsty madmen. Even if he could win in the end, he would definitely pay a bloody price.
But there's nothing he can do; he's just unlucky to have run into trouble today.
'Lightning Pierces the Sun!'
' Burning Amid Fire!'
The dragon wings, enveloped in lightning energy, slashed down like a celestial blade, colliding with the thick arm, which was burning with blazing flames and encased in stone armor.
Thump~!!
The muffled sound, like meteors colliding, spread out, layer upon layer like waves, interspersed with booming sounds like ten thousand cannons firing simultaneously. The space around the giant crater also cracked open, as if it could not withstand the desperate clash between the man and the dragon.
Above the giant crater, all eyes trembled violently. Many were horrified by the brutality of the battle, while others felt ashamed, especially upon seeing Lancelot's grievous wounds... What right did they have to criticize such a warrior?
What arrogance? He's clearly a man of great wisdom and profound Thunderclap!
Click click click~!!
Arm and dragon wing clashed, rocks flew everywhere, and ear-piercing scraping sounds rose and fell. Aibodi gritted his teeth. He could feel an unparalleled force flowing from the giant's arm to his dragon wing, then spreading throughout his body, forming dark energies from the inside out, frantically destroying his soft internal organs that were not protected by dragon scales and skin.
Moreover, the flames burning on the human body were equally strange, containing extremely powerful healing abilities. As the flames rose, fresh flesh and tender shoots sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and the originally horribly disfigured face was now recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This scene made Aibodi's heart sink. The opponent's defensive power was already terrifying, and now he was showing the ability to regenerate flesh and bone. The combination of the two made the danger level skyrocket.
"We must finish this quickly, we can't drag it out. This guy is a monster in human skin!" Aibodi cried out in his heart.
Ding!! Ding!! Ding!!
The dragon's wings collided with the giant arm repeatedly, and it was bounced back time and time again, but it rose to the challenge each time, even at the cost of its bones cracking, in order to buy time for Aibodi to counterattack.
Lancelot saw through Aibodi's intention. He brought his fingers together, and the Flame of the Heart ignited his anger, enveloping his two fingers in flames. Under the control of the Flame Controller, the flames rapidly crystallized, forming a crystal-red longsword.
This sword is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, a standard rapier shape, and its penetrating power is beyond doubt.
Pfft!!
The fire crystal longsword pierced the dragon's wing and exploded with a bang, flames shooting into the sky and engulfing Aibodi's entire left wing, accompanied by a constant crackling sound.
The once plump dragon wings shriveled at a visible speed, as if they had been dried out, and the bones became fragile. Under Lancelot's powerful attack, they shattered with a bang.
The dragon's left wing was destroyed, and the excruciating pain made Aibodi's pupils tremble violently. But this guy was also a fierce dragon, and he endured the pain and turned around to strike.
The long-awaited Lightning Breath struck Lancelot squarely in the chest, its cone-shaped tip shattering through the earth armor's protection and exploding at Lancelot chest.
The kinetic impact, along with the excruciating pain from the energy explosion, forced Lancelot to stagger back more than a dozen steps. Because his entire body was engulfed in an inextinguishable flame, each step he took created a large crater in the ground.
Aibodi's eyelids twitched as he successfully inflicted a severe blow on Lancelot, but he showed little excitement. Despite his injuries, the human was still clinging tightly to Lancelot's other dragon wing, even deforming it with his strength.
One lost its left dragon wing, and the other had a charred, mangled crater blasted into its chest. This lightning-fast clash seemed to end in mutual destruction.
' The Source of Life!'
With a whoosh, a bright green light burst forth from the center of Lancelot's heart, which was now only half intact. Wherever the light passed, it was as if time had reversed, and his severely injured body began to recover rapidly.
A powerful and domineering aura rose up like the midday sun, soaring straight into the sky.
Looking at the scene before him, Aibodi suddenly felt dejected. He had fought tooth and nail, managing to inflict heavy damage on this human monster time and time again, but the monster could recover quickly. In contrast, his own recovery ability was far inferior; they were not even in the same league.
' Willpower Burst! Mind Controller!'
While enjoying the restoration from the Source of Life, Lancelot activated two Attribute Talent simultaneously.
The Willpower Burst caused his already surging fighting spirit to soar even higher, while the Mind Controller helped him stabilize this fighting spirit.
As his fighting spirit surged, Lancelot's domineering aura also rose accordingly. His pupils transformed into magma-like eyes, intense and fiery, as if containing two suns.
Aibodi instinctively turned his head away, not wanting to meet Lancelot's gaze. At this point, the difference in their fighting spirit began to become quite apparent.
' Flame of the Heart, Raging Battle Spirit!'
Whew!!
The crimson-gold flames almost instantly enveloped Lancelot's body. Compared to the previous inextinguishable flames, this flame was entirely condensed from battle intent and ignited by the Flame of the Heart, frantically boosting Lancelot's combat power.
At that moment, he resembled a God of War.
Boom!!
Thunder roared, Aibodi refused to sit idly by and wait for his death. A surge of Berserk dragon power rushed in, making Lancelot feel as if he were in a sea of thunder. Lightning crackled and struck his body, splashing out bursts of blue and white Radiance.
Even the surrounding space was tainted by the lightning, making Teleportation difficult.
However, Lancelot, currently consumed by fighting spirit, wouldn't use any spatial techniques; he only wanted to confront the True Dragon head-on and crush it to death with his Iron Fist.
Thump!!
Without hesitation, Lancelot defiantly withstood the Endless lightning strikes, raised his arm, and slammed his fist into the ground!
This time, it was Aibodi's turn to block the attack with her crossed claws!
Thump!!
The earthquake trembled as if it had suffered a severe blow, and the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometers cracked open, with columns of magma shooting into the sky due to the immense pressure.
Even the heavens above were torn open by this punch, creating numerous spatial rifts. The turbulent spatial currents surging out from these rifts joined the hurricane that filled the entire Sand Sea Demiplane, raging wildly.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
Drops of blue-gold dragon blood flowed down from the gaps in the scales, dripping onto the ground and quickly gathering into a lake.
Thump!!
Lancelot tilted his head slightly, like God King surveying the world, as he imposed divine judgment on the True Dragon that disobeyed him.
Punch after punch!
The Iron Fist, burning with crimson-gold flames, showed no sign of pausing; the frequent strikes blended together, as if weaving a high-pitched and resounding battle song.
From a distance, Lancelot's frenzied smashing of Aibodi looked exactly like wielding the sun as a weapon, because the flames on the surface of his fists expanded every moment as the battle continued, and their power became increasingly terrifying.
This indirectly reveals Lancelot's surging fighting spirit, which has not only been fully unleashed but is also constantly rising, seemingly without end.
As Aibodi fought desperately, the pressure on his heart grew heavier and heavier. This battle-hardened True Dragon understood that this human monster was gathering strength, so each punch he threw was more powerful than the last.
If this continues, we'll be finished sooner or later.
His buildup of momentum must be interrupted, even at a great cost.
With a cold glint in his eyes, Aibodi activated a forbidden technique he had never used since he mastered it.
'Despair - Dragon Demon!'
A dark red Blood Qi emanated from the depths of his bloodline, and a feeling akin to a malignant mutation, or perhaps the awakening of his bloodline, rose from his heart.
A surging, ocean-like power continuously emerged, and the previously weakened lightning, tinged with a crimson hue, suddenly surged.
A pale purple halo spread out, instantly covering the surrounding area. All life forms enveloped by the halo had their eyes stained with a layer of blackish-purple, and their bodies even developed distorted dragon scales, resembling the Legend Dragonspawn.
Flames flickered in his eyes, and Lancelot felt waves of danger surging from in front of him.
The oncoming wind pressure, carrying a deep despair, continuously diminished his fighting spirit, causing the originally surging crimson-gold flames to flicker violently, no longer as unstoppable as before.
"Is it finally time to fight to the death? Then let's go..." Lancelot murmured, taking a step forward. His massive foot, imbued with terrifying power, slammed into Aibodi's body like a falling meteor.
Thump!!
The crimson and blackish-red colors spread, instantly crippling some Legendary beings who couldn't dodge in time. Some who were already severely injured died on the spot, and the chaos of the battlefield was vividly displayed at this moment.
Under the powerful shockwave and the despairing Mist, Aibodi's eyes widened suddenly. The single horn with strong Blue Dragon characteristics quietly fell off his nose, piercing through space in an instant and shooting towards Lancelot.
The sense of death is overwhelming!
Lancelot's eyes widened, his senses sharpened to an extreme degree, and he finally pinpointed the source of the danger he felt: a single horn crackling with dark lightning.
It closely resembles the Terminal Dragon Horn wielded by Babunaite, but its power is far less, clearly an ability developed in imitation of this inherited weapon.
There's no way to avoid it!
Lancelot made his judgment in an instant.
But why hide?!
Those who fight only face death; what is there to fear?!
Attack against attack!
"Spellbreaking Star!"
Centered on Lancelot, everything around seemed to freeze, except for a sudden, unexpected burst of starlight that shone on Aibodi, whose body had turned into a black-blue dragon and whose vertical pupils were crimson, at a speed defying the laws of physics.
The two attacks struck the opponent almost simultaneously.
Pfft!!
The dragon horns, wreathed in jet-black lightning, pierced through the cracked earth's defenses with unstoppable force, penetrating Lancelot's heart. The remaining jet-black lightning, carrying terrifying destructive power, resembled ferocious centipedes, burrowing deeper into Lancelot's body.
His body was eroded by the lightning, hissing and crackling. In an instant, most of Lancelot's body was reduced to a skeleton, his internal organs were shattered, and his heart was blown out.
Even Demigod would be on the verge of death with such an injury, and losing their fighting ability would be highly probable.
However, Lancelot acted as if nothing had happened. Under the gaze of Aibodi's scarlet eyes, he stepped forward again and threw a punch.
[Immortal Body] --... When health drops below 1%, forcibly locks Life Essence for 10-12 seconds. During this period, it is immune to any attack with an energy level below 6000 Dale.
This is the source of Lancelot's confidence to fight fire with fire!
At the same time, the despair Mist, protective force field, and even the energy structure hidden in the body of the Demigod True Dragon Aibodi were completely destroyed by the Spellbreaking Star.
In short, Aibodi's physical and energy resistances have been reduced to negative values, making him incredibly vulnerable to devastating attacks.
"Die!!"
A deafening, divine voice, like rolling thunder, spread outwards. A buzzing sound filled Aibodi's ears, and then he lost all sensation, as if drifting into a dark, empty void, where nothing was around him, and he returned to eternal silence.
"So, this is what death is..."
His last vestiges of consciousness faded away.
The blood of the True Dragon gushed out like a fountain, staining Lancelot's body golden red.
The God of War giant stands proudly on the earth, trampling dragon corpses beneath his feet, surveying all directions with disdain!
