Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 53: Old Buddy is Still Reliable

Lightning, thunder.

A terrible thunderbolt.

At the moment of attack, Wu Chen did not consider at all that he might die in the underground mine.

And precisely because of this, when the massive thunder and lightning suddenly generated and burst out in all directions, its effect was beyond everyone's expectations.

All 'people'.

Human or non-human.

Blue-white thunderbolts pierced the ground, bouncing back and forth between patches of raw iron ore. In a split second, it flowed over the entire sanctified ritual hall!
The ritual was likely more than just a ritual. The ritual that appeared to invoke Molag Bal's power might indeed be effective, but it could also serve as a disguise. Even beneath the protective wards, it's not surprising that the ground it defiled still harbored some traces of evil.

There is something huge buried underneath.

The giant revealed its true appearance after being struck by lightning.

It resembled a wriggling mass of metal, an amorphous mass composed of iron, steel grit, and even malachite fragments. It twisted and tumbled in the flickering lightning, transforming into various distorted shapes.

He almost got zero points from Hera - if he really thought that everything was completely solved and went back happily to claim credit with the blood mage's legacy, he would probably not get a friendly response.

Fortunately.

Discovered early.

"Finally meeting you, Gerd."

Another burst of thunder, the accumulated lightning chain was released and exploded onto the shapeless mass of metal. A sharp and twisted roar immediately burst out from it, accompanied by the huge metal block's struggle.

"How could you! How could you possibly find me!" Roaring, roaring was to get an answer and some breathing time.

However, Wu Chen remained silent, just repeating the lightning chain bombarding the metal mass continuously.

Until metal fragments fly.

A slight sense of crisis suddenly emerged.

Wu Chen lifted his leg slightly, triggering the skill known as 'Swift Wind Break' once again. After several consecutive uses of this technique, he felt a little tired, but this did not prevent him from taking a step at the most opportune moment.

Take a step and move to the side.

Dozens of crudely crafted, sharp metal spikes flew towards where he had been standing. The sharp edges practically pierced his body as they passed through him, but before he could even find his balance, a new spell was already brewing in his palms!
If the opponent fights back when at a disadvantage, he must pay a price.

The counterattack made by the other party at a price was obviously to buy time.

Strive for time for transformation.

The incineration fireball has been generated.

It wasn't lightning or thunder that restrained metal structures, nor was it the power of light that restrained dark creatures. Fireball, with its incineration properties, was highly effective against all mortal forms. It could even attach itself to those not instantly killed by the fireball, continuing to burn with its incineration properties.

Explosion, roar.

The previous voice, with its slight metallic tremor, vanished, replaced by a terrifying roar more like that of a monster. A grayish-white giant, several meters tall, appeared within Wu Chen's field of vision, engulfed in incineration. Despite its resemblance to a wingless vampire lord, it stood on the sacred ground that protected the barrier, yet showed no signs of being significantly suppressed.

A metal shell covers its body, and the metal covers the cuticle. This structure can not only resist thunder but also resist the holy, but it has little effect on resisting fire.

The metal shell exploded.

At this moment, Wu Chen understood the specific effect of the stolen high-level magic - the essence of the transformation system is the change and reshaping of the material form, and the research results of the deceased academy graduate are to allow the caster's own body to transform between flesh and metal.

A form of transfiguration, but compared to the common druid transformations of eagles, bears, wolves, etc., Metal Transfiguration's ductility and growth are obviously more powerful.

pity.

Whether it's a high-level or low-level battle, the key is initiative and decisiveness. —Sun Rays.

Blazing white light surged in, piercing the gap torn by the incinerating fireball with precision and swiftness. Dark flesh, saturated with negative energy, instantly ruptured and boiled under the surge of divine power, creating a chasm the size of a bowl.

One solar ray was followed by another. Reusing advantageous spells was an effective path to victory. The towering gray-white beast twisted its body violently, dodging some of the direct hits, but still sustained a new wound. Its entire body billowed with smoke and fire, yet it still stretched out its sturdy hands and fiercely clawed at Wu Chen's head!
It wants to close the distance.

The distance between it and Wu Chen was enough for Wu Chen to dodge it using the gust of wind.

but--

——Do you think I will take the initiative to distance myself from you and give you a chance?
Gerd was a wizard, whether he became a vampire first or a wizard transformed into a vampire. He was a wizard who was more adept at spell combat. Even the most powerful vampire lord would not engage in close combat unless given the choice.

The gust of wind broke through and opened it again.

However, Wu Chen chose not to retreat, but to face it head-on - the bound sword blade took shape in his palm, and at the moment the distance was shortened, he clearly saw the surprise in the eyes of the gray-white giant beast!

"Roar!" A roar erupted—a roar that had been brewing before Wu Chen made his move, a roar of icy power. It was born from the Nord's innate skills, and the sonic cold current, which was enough to shock the mind, brushed past Wu Chen's body as he lunged forward and crashed to the ground!
Frost and shock are both effective countermeasures against high-agility targets. However, once the initiative is lost, even the most effective tactics will be of little use.

Secondary spell absorption, activation.

The frosty roar, filled with awe-inspiring power, brought only a slight chill to Wu Chen's senses. The binding sword in his hand had already plunged into the massive wound, and then he twisted it with all his might!
Vast swathes of foul blood suddenly exploded, accompanied by the sharp screams of the defeated as they suffered heavy losses. Wu Chen then released the binding sword that had established his meritorious service, replacing it with another negative-range burst of solar rays based on the academy's mark!
"You lose, Wizard Gerd."

The gray-white giant beast suddenly froze.

And the next moment, blazing white light burst out from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

The sacred and pure power expanded rapidly, destroying all the dark structures beneath the metal shell. In just a moment, the gray-white behemoth met its demise.

Burning fragments of metal fell to the ground.

It fell to pieces, and the entire upper body of the giant beast was completely shattered in an instant.

Wu Chen pulled his hand away, avoiding the sharp claw that was about to grazed his shoulder and fall to the ground. The feeling of victory kept echoing in his heart, but -

No announcements.

Killing lower-level vampires and substitute wizards would earn resource points. But now, not even the slightest announcement had been made.

The lower body of the mutilated giant beast suddenly squirmed. At some point, the part that might have been the diaphragm turned into pure metal, blocking the light from being injected from the wound on its chest!

The vampire beast's fatal weakness wasn't its head, but its lower limbs. And now, it had successfully used itself as bait in a double trap, luring Wu Chen close enough. The intact lower limbs of the beast then transformed again, extending sharp tentacles and claws, piercing Wu Chen's body.

Not metal.

The metal could not penetrate the armor and armor on Wu Chen's body.

The newly formed tentacle undoubtedly had a flesh and blood structure, with dense magical light flickering at the end.

Facing it head-on or dodging it, both are fatal moves... right?

Wu Chen looked at the tentacles rapidly approaching him, knowing it was too late to cast another spell. Even if the light of protection and the power of the protective barrier were still active, they could not kill the opponent directly. And the mark filled with light rays could not erupt again without recharging.

It seems that all efforts have been exhausted.

but……

——Guns are the best after all.

The Infinite Desert Eagle appeared in his hand. A weapon that didn't require reloading was indeed powerful and reliable at all times.

However, the speed of the tentacles' flight is ultimately lower than the efficiency of the finger pulling the trigger.

"Bang! "
