Chapter 22 More Dragon Blood!
—— “Sword Intent: Decapitation!”
The blazing sword slashed towards the head of the Magma Dragon, but was blocked by its back; the sturdy dragon scales effectively protected against Soren’s deadly strike. Accompanied by a metallic clash, he barely scraped open the dragon scales on the Magma Dragon’s back and didn’t even penetrate the muscle layer. Such injuries were nothing to a giant dragon; any physical damage that couldn’t pierce through the muscle layer to reach the organs was unlikely to pose a fatal threat to them.
However!
A spurt of dragon blood still splashed out.
This dragon blood splattered onto Soren, and as soon as it touched his fiery form, it ignited instantly like gasoline, turning into a more intense blaze spreading across the battlefield.
The consumed power was recovering!
Soren could feel that as long as he successfully came into contact with dragon blood, the power consumed in his Flame Demon form would recover significantly.
More dragon blood.
He needed more dragon blood!
Even in his transformed Flame Demon state, he couldn’t fully suppress the Magma Dragon before him; he had to ensure he could maintain his strength through fighting and sustain the Flame Demon form to achieve final victory.
Roar!
The painful low roar of the Magma Dragon sounded. At the moment when Soren was engaged in direct combat with the Magma Dragon, the Four-Armed Serpent Demon circled to its rear. This warrior with four arms wielding four long swords was like a killing machine; its speed of attack in that instant was like a whirlwind, and with a furious dash of its serpent tail, the Four-Armed Serpent Demon executed a spinning attack, the four long swords intertwining and striking the underbelly of the Magma Dragon, its scales shredded by the Serpent Demon’s tremendous power, revealing bloody wounds.
—— “Dragon Tail Sweep!”
A massive howling sound came, and the Four-Armed Serpent Demon dropped to the ground, sprinting like a serpent. It narrowly dodged a fatal dragon tail sweep attack.
The Eye Demon shot a beam towards the head of the Magma Dragon.
The Heart Snatcher seemed to have concerns about Soren’s fleeting change, temporarily stopping its attack and merely directing the demon cannon fodder to push forward.
Blazing fire surged.
Soren’s figure soared into the air; the Demon Wings of his Flame Demon form allowed him to fly just above the ground. This was a significant advantage for him, as the biggest weakness of the Magma Dragon before him was its inability to fly.
Its pair of deformed dragon wings were nothing but decorations!
—— “Decapitation Attack!”
The searing long sword came crashing down again. Seeing that it couldn’t reach Soren, the Magma Dragon charged directly at the nearby Four-Armed Serpent Demon, while simultaneously unleashing a stream of Dragon Breath towards the distant Eye Demon. Even facing multiple enemies, the Magma Dragon’s unique powerful vitality and defensive capabilities ensured it was not at a disadvantage.
Clang clang!
As the dragon tail howled by, Soren was struck and sent flying.
—— Feigned Attack!
This Magma Dragon actually knew how to use trickery; it seemed to target the Eye Demon and the Four-Armed Serpent Demon, but in reality was luring Soren into an attack. Then it used its dragon tail to strike at him.
Thud!
Soren’s figure was knocked back, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Faced with the charging giant Magma Dragon, he rolled to avoid its attack and then dashed towards the location where the Four-Armed Serpent Demon had first struck the Magma Dragon.
The ground was covered in scorching dragon blood!
As soon as this dragon blood touched Soren’s flames, it ignited, and he spread his Demon Wings again, flying into the air.
The Magma Dragon roared in furious anger.
This time, it charged towards the Eye Demon on the side. Since Soren didn’t dare to come down and engage it, it would attack other enemies, relying on its innate size and strength as a giant dragon. No one in the entire arena could withstand its attack head-on.
Dragon blood.
More dragon blood.
Maintaining the Flame Demon form consumed enormous power; the strength of Legend Rank was not something his current Fire Demon form could provide.
Soren had to fight to sustain himself, relying on dragon blood to maintain his Flame Demon transformation.
Rumbling!
Just as the Eye Demon was forced into a corner by the Magma Dragon, it could finally do nothing but use its life-saving ability, executing an instantaneous short-range teleport.
The tremendous force of its charge sent the Magma Dragon crashing into the wall of Gurenba Arena.
This impact directly collapsed a corner of the arena, but it seemed not to be significantly affected; it merely shook its head slightly and continued to charge at the Eye Demon.
Soren was recognized as its greatest physical threat, and the Eye Demon was seen as its greatest threat for ranged attacks.
Horrifying resilience!
Such a violent collision could not even stun it for a moment; normally, almost all physical damage failed to inflict any significant negative status effects on it.
Boom!
The Magma Dragon’s massive body more than ten meters long charged forward again.
Seeing it about to rush over, the first to move were not the Eye Demon but the demons in the audience; they scattered to the sides like frightened rabbits.
Perhaps the competitors in the arena hadn’t noticed the previous impact.
But these demon spectators saw that in the collapsed area, two unfortunate souls were buried beneath a pile of rubble.
This was a giant dragon!
With its terrifying strength and enormous size, a head-on hit could break down city gates; even slightly fragile city walls might collapse under its assault.
The Magma Dragon charged forward with ferocious momentum!
This time.
The Four-Armed Serpent Demon, moving along the side of the arena, seized the opportunity and dashed in to strike the body of the Magma Dragon from behind.
Bang!
It was unclear whether the Magma Dragon had eyes on its back, as Soren’s attack struck with a dragon tail sweep; though the Four-Armed Serpent Demon hit its target, it was soon swept away by the dragon tail.
Smack!
The body of the Four-Armed Serpent Demon was sent flying, crashing against the sturdy wall, with even the wall behind it showing signs of cracks.
If it weren’t for the Serpent Demon’s naturally strong physique, it might have already died from that hit.
Another serious injury.
The Magma Dragon’s overwhelming strength and size were too apparent. Even though Soren blocked its attack, he was brute-forced back, spitting blood, and the Four-Armed Serpent Demon, being potentially weaker, fell into a severely injured state.
The Eye Demon was once again forced into a corner.
Its massive body was quite heavy, with no ability to move on its own; as a gigantic meatball, it could only rely on psychic energy to fly low to move.
How could its speed surpass that of the high-speed charging Magma Dragon!
An opportunity.
At the moment the Magma Dragon propelled the Four-Armed Serpent Demon away, Soren sensed an opportunity to attack. He dove down instantly, sword raised to strike at the enemy before him.
But.
At that very moment, the Heart Snatcher, which had been lying in wait, began to move.
It gradually approached the severely injured Four-Armed Serpent Demon, and within its murky eyes, an eerie spell light began to materialize.
In an instant, the Four-Armed Serpent Demon’s body stiffened, and its expression gradually turned dull.
