When the red dragon was being brutally beaten down by the frost giant, what should Soren do?
Without a doubt!
He must use this time to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible and drag the red dragon into a severely wounded state. The vitality of the giant dragon is quite astonishing; despite being attacked for such a long time, it was only just approaching a seriously injured state. However, Soren did not approach the upper half of the red dragon’s body because he believed that the strongest among the chromatic dragons, the red dragon, would not be that fragile and would certainly not be rendered powerless by a round of attack from the frost giant. Moreover, its large head could bite.
Roar!
A shrill scream suddenly echoed.
There was a severely injured adult red dragon from Soren’s attack, and there was also the frost giant, counter-attacking with her arm being bitten by the red dragon’s massive jaws. Even though the frost giant had strong innate armor, this time it nearly bit through both skin and bone. The biting power of the giant dragon is quite impressive; in fact, it is easy to overlook the dragon’s biting force due to its many other abilities. But Soren naturally remembered just how deadly a dragon’s bite could be because he had lost an arm to one in the past.
In the end, he could only seek help from a high-level priest to cast [Body Restoration].
The female frost giant’s attack was finally interrupted. The red dragon bit down hard on her without letting go, while also struggling to flip its massive body to get up. At their size, the battle resembled one from the Jurassic era, akin to a T-rex versus a Spinosaurus. The ground shook with every blow; if Soren were to be caught underneath either one of them, he could sustain severe injuries or even d*e on the spot.
Because Soren couldn’t bear the weight of dozens of tons!
Puchi.
A large spurt of dragon bl**d gushed out.
With a serious expression, Soren swung his curved blade to pierce while carefully dodging the sweeping dragon tail and the moving body of the red dragon as it struggled. Without specialized dragon-slaying weapons, it would undoubtedly be inconvenient to fight against a giant dragon. Whether it’s a dragon-slaying sword or a dragon-slaying spear, they are specifically designed legendary equipment that can effectively attack the vital organs of a dragon. Unlike Soren now, who found it difficult to injure the internal organs of the dragon due to the length of his weapon.
However, he was not completely without a solution!
Soren sliced through the red dragon’s scales and then cut into the enemy’s body along the muscle fibers, subsequently severing the dragon’s tendons.
A row of data appeared:
“Combat Insight!”
“You have gained insights during the battle! You have grasped partial information of the combat skill Sword Intent [Sever Tendon]!”
“Combat Insight!”
“You have gained insights during the battle! You have grasped partial information of the combat skill Sword Intent [Lacerate]!”
………………
Two data prompts appeared in succession.
But at this moment, Soren had no time to look, as he relied on his powerful curved blade [Legendary] specialty, successfully piercing into the red dragon’s body and precisely severing its tendons, as well as lacerating the bl**d vessels in the dragon’s leg. This kind of attack was something he could never have accomplished in the past, as he lacked such accuracy when launching attacks back then. But now, he had achieved legendary-level curved blade specialty, and his strikes against the enemy were becoming increasingly precise and lethal.
“Sword Intent [Sever Tendon] (Combat Skill): Through special battle techniques, cut the enemy’s tendons during combat, significantly lowering the combat capability of ordinary enemies. This technique also has strong effects against certain supernatural beings. The enemy must make a forced Constitution saving throw, or they may fall into paralysis, disability, or other negative states.”
“Sword Intent [Lacerate] (Combat Skill): Through special battle techniques, lacerate the enemy’s bl**d vessels during combat. This will lead to increased bleeding, possibly causing the enemy to d*e from excessive bl**d loss in a short period.”
………………
Scalding dragon bl**d sprayed across the ground.
Soren was covered in bl**d because when he severed the red dragon’s tendons, he also cut through one of its arterial bl**d vessels. Although supernatural beings do not d*e quickly because of a powerful constitution, this would still exacerbate their bleeding effects. The bl**d covering Soren was a result of accurately hitting the arterial bl**d vessel. He tightened his grip on the curved blade and used the muscle of the dragon’s leg to exert force. In a matter of seconds, he sliced off over three hundred pounds of dragon flesh.
The scene was somewhat horrifying!
As Soren’s blade passed through, chunks of bloody meat fell to the ground, and eventually, the red dragon’s leg revealed a gruesome sight of exposed white bones.
It was as if it were about to be flayed alive by Soren!
The frost giant seemed to regain a sliver of her wits from the red dragon’s assault. As a Northern Witch approaching legendary status, she decisively chose to take drastic measures. She broke free from the red dragon’s jaws by snapping off the arm it had bitten. Then, she used her remaining arm to choke the red dragon around the neck and climbed onto its neck. This was its weak point; by holding down the slender neck of the red dragon, it became much harder for it to flip over, as if she had firmly grasped a snake by its weak spot.
Soren felt like he had entered a wondrous state!
It couldn’t be said that he was making a breakthrough in the midst of battle, but he was indeed gaining significant improvement in his combat skills.
A series of data prompts emerged again:
“Combat Insight!”
“You have gained insights during the battle! You have grasped partial information of the combat skill Sword Intent [Sever Tendon]!”
“Combat Insight!”
“You have gained insights during the battle! You have grasped partial information of the combat skill Sword Intent [Lacerate]!”
“Combat Insight!”
“You have obtained an understanding! You have successfully comprehended the combat skill Sword Intent [Spiral Dance]!”
………………
Bang!
The thick dragon tail whipped through the air with a howling wind and then quickly wrapped around the frost giant’s neck, pulling her down violently. The red dragon let out an enraged roar, its wings flaring out as it attempted to get back on its feet. The challenge level of an adult frost giant is comparable to that of a young dragon, so it is not uncommon to encounter battles between frost giants and dragons in the wild, although most involve white dragons from cold regions.
Encounters between giants and dragonkind are not rare!
Thus, the red dragon also inherited battle techniques specifically for dealing with giants. After throwing off the frost giant, it took a deep breath and suddenly opened its mouth, unleashing a torrent of searing dragon breath.
The power of frost enveloped.
The raging flames wreaked havoc.
The attributes of frost giant and red dragon were at odds, causing violent disturbances in the elemental forces even in the air upon collision.
The red dragon struggled to stand up.
However, suddenly its body shook again, its massive form staggering and nearly falling to the ground. At this moment, others noticed that more than five hundred pounds of flesh had been severed from the upper thigh on the right side of the red dragon, exposing a stark view of white bone. In less than a minute of fighting, the red dragon felt the pain of being attacked, but it certainly did not expect the enemy to inflict such significant damage!
Soren was dissecting this red dragon.
Although he couldn’t strike a fatal blow to its vital points, he had severed one of its legs and had also executed two instances of the Sword Intent [Spiral Dance] at the wing’s position.
“Roar! Grrr! Bang!”
The red dragon flapped its massive wings in an attempt to regain its balance, but unfortunately, one of its legs was mostly just a skeleton now.
Clink!
The chilling light of the blade flashed as Soren moved around the red dragon. More and more wounds appeared on its leg, and large chunks of flesh were cut away; the once incredibly strong dragon scales seemed to have lost their protective effect entirely, repeatedly being accurately breached by Soren. Some wounds only required a split to open, and then it was merely necessary to widen the cuts.
Thus, when Soren’s second round of attack ended,
The red dragon’s leg revealed large patches of white bone, as most flying creatures rely on a leg kick off the ground to take flight. Thus, legendary masters can keep birds grounded by removing their takeoff power. The red dragon in front of him, although still managing to stand, found it incredibly difficult to take to the air again.
Its body began to sway.
Significant bl**d loss, Soren’s damage, and the frost giant’s assault had gradually pushed it towards a state of imminent d*ath.
