Life is tough, so Honglong resorts to performing?

Chapter 105 The Mantis and the Oriole, the Fisherman and the Clam

Something happened that was unexpected by all the participants present.

Although Celia Leafshadow looks like a drow, acts like a drow, and has a drow-like personality, she is indeed a native of Greenleaf City, a wood elf with identification.

If you feel that something is amiss, you can go and talk to her father, the wood elf Charles Yeying.

My father is incompetent; he's merely a legend.

This information gap caused those who fought against her to misjudge her equipment.

As a local strongman, she didn't need any special means to collect the full set of magic crystal armor. On the contrary, she could even use custom-made weapons to deal with every battle that broke out.

Although the weaponry does not meet military-grade standards, it is indeed among the best equipment in civilian armed forces.

Even her previous reckless killings were within the bounds of her authority, because she held the position of a federal-level anti-slant cult commissioner, and under certain conditions, she could kill first and then report it, allowing for entrapment...

However, federal anti-scanning commissioners generally consider the image and order of major cities and therefore don't usually do this...

But she didn't need to care about any of that. Denise had released her so that she could cause trouble.

"Bang, clang!"

It was another clash between the nimble drow scimitar and the greatsword, but this time, what retreated was no longer the small assassin weapon, but the larger, stronger, and more defensively superior Tier 3 warrior armor!
"A quick reaction, or I would have cut your weapon off."

Celia stared at the other person with some regret.

She was certain that the manipulator on the other side was quite capable; he wasn't just blindly attacking, but had noticed her changes.

He was indeed a professionally trained soldier, but unfortunately, he was a traitor.

As one of the high-ranking Elf families in Verdant City, these traitors must die.

Moreover, even so, the other party's resistance is still meaningless.

She has absorbed more than half of the negative energy, and after transformation, she is equivalent to half a local creature in this shadow realm.

Under these circumstances, although her abilities such as Shadow Assault cannot use space travel to deliver a surprise attack, her speed, strength, and defense attributes have been greatly increased. Furthermore, she can use the negative energy of the Shadow Realm to replenish the energy loss of her body, keeping herself in a state of full power forever.

"Dual-wielding style, waltz."

The two fully charged Drow scimitars radiated the unique glow of magical weapons, and the petite assassin transformed into a streak of gray lightning.

With twin blades, one in front and one behind, one fast and one slow, they charged into the group of supporters behind Sally. The blades flashed like wheels, dancing gracefully, but what they brought was a rain of blood and fragments of parts. The dancers who brought death were dancing gracefully.

"you dare!"

Almost instantly, the group of cultists who had come to the aid of the half-elf were sliced ​​to pieces by the sharp double blades and died instantly. Sally, despite her best efforts, could not catch up with the assassin who was now as fast as a streak of light.

Sally's eyes widened in fury; the turn of events had reversed faster than she had anticipated, and anger and panic spread through her.
Spiderweb City, as the most stable Rose City and the most resistant to the Federation, where did it get so much new technology and equipment and smuggle it to Greenleaf City?
Did the Drow Elf matriarchs intend to attack Greenleaf City before?
Otherwise, why would they have arranged for such an assassin to lie in wait for so long?
What is going on? !
The discordant situation was impacting the half-elf's mind, making it difficult for her to think calmly.

Celia, of course, had no idea what Sally was asking.

If she knew, she might have told her with a smile, in order to break her heart.
"These features are actually for dealing with the Drow matriarch you mentioned, after all, my dear grandmother wouldn't think I'm a good granddaughter..."

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, a violent energy fluctuation erupted inside the Transcendental Base not far away, causing both women's expressions to change.

"Is there any help?"

"A thief has stolen a chicken!"

In a moment of rage, Sally escalated her power, boosting her armor to maximum to try and prevent the assassin from joining her accomplice, while Celia tried to shake off the assassin and capture the thief who had stolen her loot.

Heaven have mercy! She's always been the one to mess with others and steal from them. There's never been a day like this where she rebels against the heavens!
We assassins started as thieves, and you dare steal from me right in front of me?!
Are you rebelling against Heaven?
Inside the house in the distance, after Loren had swept away all the valuables, he transformed into his original red dragon form not far from the door and began chanting incantations.

No matter which one comes, he first throws a few spells at them, blows them up, and then uses dragon breath and martial arts to kill as many as possible first.

Since none of them are good people anyway, it's much better to drag the battle into a two-on-two duel as soon as possible than to have a three-on-one standoff and play some tricks like the mantis unaware of the oriole or the crane and the clam fisherman.

With that in mind, Loren began preparing spells based on his battle plan. However, he didn't use the spell of merging energy orbs. After all, he couldn't control the power of this thing yet, and the environment here was not the prime plane. The Shadow Realm was a negative energy plane, and he hadn't tested whether fusion here would require fine-tuning.

What if the fused object doesn't explode?

Combat is different from experiments; failure can be fatal, although some experiments can also be fatal if they fail.

In comparison, using some more common attack methods is much better, and it can also help you train your mage-type combat thinking.

Loren the Red Dragon waited quietly, waiting for the first unlucky soul to appear.

On the other side of the battlefield, in order to prevent the two sides from joining forces, Sally had no choice but to activate the overclocking mode of her battle armor while trying her best to obstruct them.

She knew that if the two opponents joined forces, her defeat was only a matter of time.

Conversely, if she could defeat the infiltrator who used special methods first, she would have a slight chance of winning.

Although the chances of winning were slim, she wanted to live.

With the Magic Crystal Armor in overclocked mode, she successfully left Celia, who had been eager to teach the thief a lesson, behind. Celia could only laugh at Sally's desperate speed.

"She doesn't think I'm in cahoots with that petty thief, does she?"

Celia felt she had grasped the key point and planned to wait until the other party and the petty thief fought to a draw before taking advantage of the situation.

In any case, in this environment of the Shadow Realm, her combat power will only increase, so there's no need to rush.

Time was on her side.

Inside the room, Loren, who had prepared various spells and contingency plans and taken relevant precautions, listened to the howling sound coming from outside and a smile that belonged to the red dragon appeared on his face.

They've finally arrived. Let's hope all his preparations haven't been in vain.

The massive armored suit didn't choose the door she had broken open earlier, but instead entered through the wall to prevent the people inside from setting traps, which was also within Loren's considerations.

Several magical spiderwebs clung to the surrounding walls. When the armor crashed through the walls, the rubble didn't scatter but remained attached to the armor, greatly slowing down the impact. "It's you!"

When Sally entered and discovered that the one quietly waiting inside was none other than the red dragon who had brought her to such a state, the woman's eyes turned even redder, and she could no longer suppress her anger, charging at Loren with even greater ferocity.

"Greasy technique".

The mixture of grease and broken sand summoned by the simple, low-level spell slowed down the opponent's armor, which was quite stable and did not fall over.

"Dragon's Breath".

Loren opened his mouth as he saw the woman and armor slowing down.

The dragon's breath, long accumulated, erupted. A torrent of blazing flames surged from the dragon's mouth, clashing violently with the negative energy of the shadow realm, hissing and crackling. The bright light instantly illuminated the entire dimly lit hall.

Flames licked at the armor, igniting the spiderwebs and grease, melting the attached rubble into molten lava, and causing the armor surface to redden and soften.

"But that's not enough, Red Dragon!"

Inside the cockpit, Sally was screaming wildly. Her armor had reached its final overclocking limit and might be damaged after the battle. She might be completely unable to deal with the mad elf that was about to appear, but Sally no longer cared about any of that.

With a sinister grin, she raised the greatsword in her armored hand, attempting to cleave down the red dragon before her and achieve the ultimate feat of slaying the dragon.

"Turn mud into stone."

Facing the descending giant sword, Loren completed his final spell. The molten lava on the opponent's body solidified in an instant, turning the leaping warrior's armor into a still stone statue.

"I will bleed, and my fist will break."

After finishing the spell, the red dragon's eyes flashed with a violent and cruel flame. It clenched its claws into fists, arched its body slightly, stood on its feet, and raised its dragon wings high behind it. Driven by magic, the next second, the fist with the enormous strength of a dragon struck the stone statue. The lava on the outside shattered in response, and at the same time, it took away most of the opponent's reactive armor.

"boom!"

Faced with Red Dragon's dismantling actions, Sally did not hesitate to detonate all of her external reactive armor, trying to buy herself a moment to escape the battle and catch her breath.

However, Loren did not dodge the explosion. Instead, he faced the blast head-on, taking the damage as he stepped forward. While blocking the greatsword of the Sally armor with his fists, he suddenly unleashed a powerful strike from his tail! The thick dragon tail, like a giant python that had been plotting for a long time, lashed out from below from an extremely tricky angle, accompanied by a shrill screech that tore through the air, striking the waist of the armor, which had lost most of its armor protection, from below!
Tail whip!

Unlike Sally, who was already in a desperate situation, Loren's attention was still focused on the Drow Elf assassin over there. He didn't want the other party to steal his spoils and make him the scapegoat for everything.

As for Celia Yeying, the elf who had just arrived at the scene, she did not immediately join the battle.

That idiotic heretic is definitely going to die, and that red dragon is most likely the savior Denise mentioned.

Judging from the other person's expression, they are still wary of me.

That's normal, after all, it's a red dragon...

Celia's eyes flashed, and she brandished the drow twin blades in her hands, silently entering accelerated combat mode.

Facing Celia's twin drow swords gleaming with magical light, Loren's mind raced. The half-elf opposite him and her heavy armor were no longer a threat, so it was obvious who the swords were aimed at.

While some stereotypes exist, it must be said that for certain races, such as the Drow who take pride in betrayal and intrigue, these stereotypes are absolutely accurate.

Therefore, Loren focused more on the impending flash of the blade.

"Backup power, overload activated!"

Sally's roar echoed in the cockpit, drowning out the piercing alarm.

Scorching white steam billowed from the joints of the greatsword warrior's armor, the magic runes turned from ghostly blue to ominous blood red, and the massive machine charged toward the red dragon in front of it in a near-self-destructive manner, with a madness that could crush everything!

I fought you with all my might, yet you turned your attention to your companions. What arrogance! What an insult! You deserve to die, you evil dragon!
"It's really troublesome."

On one side was the potential blade of the drow elves, and on the other was the half-elf who had already entered a frenzied mode. Loren sighed silently in his heart, but he could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

This battle is getting more and more interesting!

The red dragon's innate desire for powerful enemies was activated. Facing the giant sword in front of him, Loren unleashed another dragon breath, but this time it was not a concentrated energy, but a wide-ranging breath that enveloped a large area, including the blade light that the drow was attacking!
This move wasn't intended to cause significant damage, but rather to disrupt the enemy's vision, force Celia's armor to turn, and simultaneously interfere with Sally's final charge.

"Damn red dragon!"

Faced with Loren's massive dragon breath, Celia quickly dodged, twisting her body to avoid it. She was currently covered in negative energy elements, and the collision with the active fire element red dragon's breath would cause explosive damage.

Although she could understand Loren's actions, she couldn't help but feel angry at this bastard's random attacks. We're all in this together. I drew my knife to hit that guy, you know that!
Unfortunately, this was not the time for communication. After all, battles are always a race against time, and a moment's mistake can mean the difference between life and death.

Her blade began to detach from the two combatants in front of her, and then stopped in the distance. Anyway, the half-elf's magic crystal armor wouldn't be able to be activated for much longer. As long as they could stall until the time was up, the two of them could easily take care of each other.

We can settle accounts with that bastard Red Dragon when the time comes!

The scorching dragon breath swept through, turning the already dilapidated hall into a sea of ​​fire.

Sally's charge was inevitably disrupted by the indiscriminate area-of-effect attack. The sensors on the outside of her armor malfunctioned briefly due to the high temperature, and glaring warning runes flashed on the screen.

But she was already reckless. With her last bit of momentum, the greatsword warrior armor, like a raging bull, broke through the curtain of flames, the greatsword whistling as it slashed towards Loren's chest, which was slightly exposed by his dragon breath!

"clang--!"

A deafening clang of metal rang out. It wasn't the greatsword slicing through flesh, but rather Loren's dragon claws, covered in hard scales, gripping the blade of the greatsword tightly!
The dragon claw rubbed against the magical metal, sparking dazzling sparks. Even the ground was dented by Loren's blow.

"caught you!"

Loren's eyes flashed with ferocity, his other claw clenched into a fist, his arm muscles bulging, and beneath the dark red scales, it seemed as if magma was flowing; he was already poised to strike!
"Crush it for me!"

A punch imbued with the full power of the Red Dragon landed squarely on the main armor plate of the Greatsword Warrior's chest!

The parts that had been whipped by the tail and burned by the dragon's breath were already extremely fragile. Now, under this pure violence, they finally emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

The final armor plate dented and cracked instantly, and the internal mechanical structure completely twisted and collapsed.

Sally, inside the cockpit, was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The overclocked armor was closely connected to her mind, and the backlash from the damaged armor directly affected her soul. Even so, she still reached out and pressed the final self-destruct button.

Then let's perish together! With you, the evil dragon who ruined my life, buried with me, it's not a loss!
