Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 98 Despicable Foreigner
At this point, Leon finally understood why Betty was unwilling to come in person to get the refined gold even though she clearly had the map, and why someone had to draw the map instead of taking the refined gold.

All because there was a lava land shark there.

The Lava Land Shark looks similar to the common land shark, also known as the Sharkmon, but its body is filled with surging elemental power, and its combat power is far superior to that of the Sharkmon.

The challenge level of the shark lizard beast is 5, which is not high to be honest. An experienced adventurer team can easily defeat it. However, the lava land shark is a monster with a challenge level of 14, which is higher than the fire giant, higher than the beholder, and higher than the adult brass dragon.

"We still have to continue..." The wolf swallowed and looked at Leon cautiously.

He believed in the power of the red dragon, but the lava land shark should not be underestimated either.

Leon didn't say anything. He was worried when he saw the size of the Lava Land Shark, but he couldn't bear to give up. After all, it took a lot of effort to get here from Chalu City.

Leon thought about it and wondered if there was any way to bypass the Lava Land Shark, such as activating the gathering and dispersion of energy to become invisible and avoid the battle, and then finding the refined gold and picking it up and running away.

After thinking about it carefully, it really didn't work. The duration of his energy gathering and dispersion was too short. Especially after using it once, he needed to wait for the body to adapt before using it again.

Leon watched the lava land shark take a deep breath of air and then sink back into the lava lake. He thought seriously for a long time and wandered in front of the lava lake for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes lit up.

"This battle is not one you can participate in." Leon glanced at the wolf. He was reluctant to see his future subordinates die like that. "So you can leave now, and go as far away as possible."

"You, do you really want to fight that kind of monster?" the evil wolf asked worriedly.

“Can I take it as you are looking down on me?” Leon said as he restored his dragon form and turned into a red dragon, only large in size, almost super large. “I have my own way.”

Leon ignored the evil wolf and would not pay any attention to him from then on, even if the other party was unwilling and wanted to watch or join the battle, and then the fish in the pond would be affected by the fire at the city gate and would be bitten by the lava land shark. He would not save them and concentrated on killing the lava land shark.

Leon first used his hidden power to take out the giant sword from the space crack and put it aside. Then he raised his front paws and slammed them on the ground, creating a huge shock.

The lava land shark's trembling perception range is huge. Not to mention that Lyon created such a big vibration, it can also hear smaller ones. It floated out of the lava lake not long after.

"Beast, look at me!" Leon shouted and threw out the giant sword, using the sword-controlling technique to control the flying sword to fly towards the Lava Land Shark. He was not discouraged when he hit the thick armor of the Lava Land Shark and was bounced away. He flipped his palm, raised his claws, and controlled the flying sword to climb into the air.

As a top predator, the lava land shark has never known what fear is. It roared deafeningly, dived into the lava lake, swam to the shore with its tail swinging, but found that the red dragon was standing on a high platform in the distance at some point.

Of course Leon flew over, taking advantage of the moment when the lava land shark dived into the lava lake.

That's the Lava Land Shark, a giant elemental life form that can swallow large creatures with one bite. Of course, it's not easy to swallow it. Can't we fight it head-on without kite flying?

Yes, Leon’s plan was to only use ranged attacks, never close combat, and kite to wear down the Lava Land Shark.

In short, Leon stood on the high platform, looking at the furious Lava Land Shark, and used the sword-controlling technique again. This time, the flying sword was aimed at the weak points of the Lava Land Shark's armor, such as the armpits... Some sparks flew, and it seemed to have some effect.

The flying sword flew around, and the lava land shark tried to bite it twice but missed, so it simply ignored it. It looked at the red dragon, suddenly lowered its body, and suddenly jumped up, jumping dozens of meters high... It didn't have long-range attack methods, but it was not without ways to deal with distant enemies.

This move is called a standing jump. Regardless of whether it takes a running start or not, the Lava Land Shark can jump a long distance with one jump, knocking down all enemies at the landing point and causing huge damage.

The Lava Land Shark's jump was extremely fast. It would be difficult for ordinary adventurers to escape from the Lava Land Shark's huge body. If it were an ordinary dragon, it might just spread its wings and fly up. However, Leon had the ability to gather and disperse energy, which made him invisible and accelerated at the same time.

Leon kicked his legs and flew out, not only avoiding the fatal leap of the Lava Land Shark, but also avoiding the subsequent attacks of the Lava Land Shark.

Leon is now in a state of gathering and dispersing energy, but he doesn't dare to fight back against the Lava Land Shark, even though this attack has additional damage. Instead, he moves away from the Lava Land Shark until he lands on another platform... There are platforms everywhere around the lava lake, otherwise it would not be a lava lake, but a flowing lava river.

Leon used his sword-wielding skills to attack the Lava Land Shark again. As soon as the Lava Land Shark turned around, he immediately spread his wings and flew away, not daring to stop for even a moment.

After what happened just now, Leon already knew how fast the Lava Land Shark jumped, so he didn't dare to be greedy, especially since he had just used the Gathering and Dispersing Qi technique, and the Immobilization Technique would most likely be of no use to the Lava Land Shark.

After several unsuccessful jumps, the Lava Land Shark finally reacted and kept following the red dragon, circling it until the red dragon landed.

Fortunately, the lava lake where the lava land shark lives is large enough. If it is not large enough, there is no way for the lava land shark to live there. There is enough space around it for Leon to circle around again and again.

One minute, two minutes…five minutes.

The Lava Land Shark was less patient. After ten minutes, the Lava Land Shark decided to retreat back to the lava lake.

Lyon found an opportunity and immediately landed on the platform, using the sword-controlling technique again.

Just like that, a strange scene appeared. Anyway, the evil wolf who couldn't help but watch the battle was dumbfounded. He thought he could see two giant beasts fighting head-on, but he didn't expect to see a red dragon using a strange flying sword to attack the lava land shark. Every time the lava land shark wanted to fight back, it ran away very fast...

What kind of despicable and evil way of playing is this?

This is bullying.

Yes, Leon was bullying the Lava Land Shark, relying on his ability to fly and his excellent long-range attacks that were enough to hurt the Lava Land Shark. He bullied the Lava Land Shark because it had no long-range attacks, but he had a Condensed Air Dispersion as a backup, which he could use in case he had no way to avoid the Lava Land Shark's fatal leap... He mainly bullied the Lava Land Shark because of its low intelligence, which was only 2, and was no different from those wild animals. It was better to have the legendary stupid Ogre, which had an intelligence of 5. Otherwise, if it was a Beholder, a Mastermind, or something like that, he wouldn't dare to play like that, as those things might have a higher IQ than him.

This is another kind of bullfighting. Leon is the matador, and the lava shark is the violent North African bull. The bull can easily overturn the matador, but in the end it is inevitable that it will be stabbed to death by the matador.

Humph, compared to the matador, Lyon has a much higher tolerance rate and can fight head-on, but he just doesn't want to get hurt.

Leon's sword-wielding skills were not weak. Of course, the flying sword driven by mana could not do as much damage as the one he swung in his hand. However, the Lava Land Shark was more resistant to attacks, with armor all over its head and back. Out of ten times of Leon's flying sword, perhaps only one-third could cause damage. As a result, this battle lasted for half a day.

The Lava Land Shark was completely motionless, and Leon was also exhausted. Almost all of his magic power was used up. A small amount was spent on gathering and dispersing energy, and most of it was used on swordsmanship.

"Is it dead?" The evil wolf ran over. Today's battle made his worldview a little shattered. Is this how red dragons fight?

He had only heard that blue dragons were patient and methodical combatants, often stretching battles out for hours or even days, often launching lightning breath attacks from a distance before flying out of the enemy's range to wait for the next opportunity to attack.

"It's so hot." The wolf walked closer and closer, reaching out to touch the body of the lava land shark. The first touch felt like touching a piece of red-hot steel.

"Fortunately it's dead, otherwise you would be burned if you get close to it." Leon smiled. He knew that the Lava Land Shark had a skill similar to the Flame Aura of the Balrog. Enemies close to the Lava Land Shark would suffer fire damage at the beginning of each round.

“Go away.” Leon said, and used all his strength to turn the Lava Land Shark over. Then he used his greatsword to cut open the Lava Land Shark’s belly, bit off a piece of meat from the Lava Land Shark to fill his stomach and replenish the energy he had just consumed. He then searched inside the Lava Land Shark’s stomach…

Lava Land Sharks are always in a hungry state and have a very strong digestive ability. If there is something that the Lava Land Sharks eat and that they have not digested, it must be a good thing.

This search really helped Leon find something good, the ore that the lava land shark had not digested.

"Is this pure gold?" Leon took out a piece of ore, a rough ore that had not been smelted.

"I don't know. I have never seen adamantium ore. At most, I have seen adamantium weapons." The wolf shook his head, suddenly awakened, "You came to the Underdark for adamantium?"

"Do you think it's worth it?" Leon asked.

"It's worth it, definitely worth it." The wolf gestured, "A piece of refined gold ore like this can be sold for at least a hundred gold coins. If we can find a craftsman to smelt it and make it into weapons and equipment, it can be sold for at least a few hundred or a thousand gold coins."

Leon did not comment and was busy messing with the Lava Land Shark's stomach. However, after turning the Lava Land Shark's stomach over several times, he only found two pieces of ore of unknown origin. He thought it should be refined gold ore. After all, this was the place where Betty claimed that refined gold ore was produced.

"Just two pieces...definitely not enough." It's not that Leon is greedy. One piece of refined gold ore is not even big enough for a rugby ball, and the other piece is even smaller. It's not enough for him to plate a layer of refined gold on the giant sword he is using now.

"There must be more in the lava lake." The wolf reminded.

"I know. You don't need to remind me." Leon becomes arrogant in dragon form.

Leon was just about to jump into the lava lake when he remembered that he had just heard a ding-dong sound.

Can this also earn a gold finger reward? That shouldn't be the case. It feels like I didn't do anything.

As he thought about it, Leon's eyes shrank slightly and his pupils lost focus.

"The brain is a good thing, but not everyone can use it to defeat an equally strong opponent without any damage."

It’s actually true, it really exists, is this okay?
Wait, is this reward a sarcasm about him never using his brain in battle before?
"Normal reward: Scratching."

"mistake!"

"mistake!"

"mistake!"

"Mismatch!"

"Search again!"

"Searching...match successful."

I didn't want to pay attention to those error messages and those rewards that were destined not to be obtained, especially the latter. It would be a pity not to get the rewards that seem very powerful. I have no choice but to review them today.

The key point is still the following -

"Ordinary reward: Palm Thunder."
