Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

Chapter 175 Slaying the Dragon

Alphonse was certain that the magical beasts beneath his feet, which resembled dragons, were not the legendary dragons.

Legend has it that dragons are intelligent and capable of communication.

At least, that's what some chivalric novels say.

That's what it says in the Western fantasy novels I've read on Qidian.

The monster below, its body flowing with lava and flames, seemed to have no intention of communicating with itself or with anything else. Its crimson eyes didn't even have pupils, only revealing a ferocious glint.

It's more like a monster from an Ultraman tokusatsu movie.

But it's not that big yet.

The hideous and ugly creatures are still superior.

I wonder if this could be considered a subspecies of dragon, a sub-dragon?

In the novel, dragons are portrayed as relatively weak creatures.

The creature that appeared in the lava lake looked like it had experienced nuclear radiation.

There is indeed such a legend: dragons don't care what kind of creature they reproduce with; they're just using it to release their desires.

While Alphonse's mind was racing with thoughts, the monster, or rather, the fire dragon, had already launched its attack.

Countless crimson circular phantoms resembling magic circles appeared out of thin air, but they carried no runes; inside were only thin, curved lines of varying lengths.

These phantoms simultaneously unleashed scorching beams of light, attacking Alphonse, who was suspended in mid-air.

"What is this? A ray attack?" Alphonse hurriedly stepped on the sword light and dodged at lightning speed.

Weaving through the gaps in the light, Alphonse made no attempt to test its power by taking a hit himself.

The lava that was hit was fine, as it was quickly covered by the flowing lava. However, the beam of light that struck the dome left deep craters on it.

Alphonse retaliated in kind, flicking his thumb repeatedly, unleashing a barrage of lightning bolts that blasted down.

The fire dragon's massive body was much easier to hit, but the sword energy of the Overlord Sword failed to cause it much damage.

The bombardment only shattered its lava armor, sending rock fragments flying everywhere.

It created some dents, but for the Rathalos's massive body, these injuries were negligible.

Black smoke billowed from the hole on its back, which resembled a miniature meteorite crater, followed by bursts of light orbs that shot out and flew toward Alphonse as if tracking a target.

Alphonse could only dodge at full speed. Seeing that he could not escape, he spread his arms and dozens of silver sword energies flew out nimbly, cutting and detonating the light sphere just before it was about to get close.

A series of explosions rang out, and orbs of light burst open one after another, engulfing a large area in black smoke.

But in that fleeting glimpse, Alphonse noticed a flash of light rising from the depths of the black smoke.

A crimson light instantly surged before their eyes.

It was a breath, a huge and extremely fast breath, as swift as lightning, with extremely high temperature!

At the critical moment, Alphonse made a quick, powerful plunge and sank into the lava lake.

The protective aura surging outside the body instantly pushed away the scorching magma, and the true energy was being consumed rapidly.

You can't stay in lava for long!

Alphonse had no choice but to emerge and take flight once more.

No sooner had it flown out of the lava lake than the fire dragon closed in on it.

Its entire body glowed with a blazing red light, resembling an aggregate of flames.

The scorching temperature even ignited Alphonse's protective aura.

It seemed to have anticipated Alphonse's evasive route, and with a flick of its tail, its thick, long tail swept across with intense heat.

It features powerful physical attacks, coupled with the burning effect of high-temperature flames.

Alphonse had no time to dodge, so he had to exert all his strength, channeling his energy into his palms, which gleamed with a dark, intense metallic sheen, as he met the long tail head-on.

The palm strike surged forth like a tidal wave, its power soaring wildly.

The killing move of the Xuan Tian Wu Jin Palm, "Thunderous Golden Spear," stirred up monstrous waves on the lava lake.

However, the power contained in its long tail is also unparalleled.

Alphonse was sent flying, his arm going numb from the impact.

It wasn't that they were outmatched and swept away; they simply used the force of the blow to create distance.

The fire dragon only paused for a moment before continuing its pursuit, its massive claws slashing down with astonishing heat.

Alphonse has discovered that it is unable to unleash its various strange ranged attacks in close combat.

I originally wanted to try and see if I could kill this monster without using my trump card.

However, each attack only shattered its lava surface and failed to cause much damage.

In this situation, it is no longer feasible to do so.

When the fire dragon was enveloped in intense flames, its speed increased dramatically, becoming no less than that of its own.

Continuing to fight will only lead to exhaustion and being passively attacked.

A sudden turn of events allowed them to avoid some of the problems.

A thought crossed my mind.

Alphonse played his trump card.

With a loud "hum", it resonated.

A dark, swirling vortex, resembling a nebula, appeared in the void.

With a breakthrough in his skill, the Innate Formless Divine Art has been further refined, causing some changes in the premonition of the appearance of the formless sword energy that breaks through the body.

Within the vortex, black currents and storms seemed to be swirling.

The massive sword shadow shot out with lightning speed.

It was no longer pure black, but rather like a sharp needle magnified countless times. The outer layer was a deep, dark black, which gradually faded from the outside to the center, while the inside was an intensely bright white light.

The fire dragon seemed to sense the danger of the sword light and hurriedly retreated.

It can also dodge and evade.

But how easy is it to dodge an invisible sword aura that can pierce the body?

Having reached the fifth level of the Innate Formless Divine Skill, Alphonse could feel the sword energy emanating from the sword connected to his own bloodline.

He truly achieved the ability to make sword energy move at will.

In the blink of an eye.

The jet-black sword energy swirled in the air and then pursued it.

The fire dragon suddenly opened its mouth wide, and raging flames spewed out from it.

The flames were no longer crimson, but had turned a deep purple, almost black.

The overwhelming flames even triggered an eruption of the lava lake, and the soaring flames turned the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire.

The burning tornado streaked across the sky like a giant flaming python.

The scale and momentum were absolutely enormous!

However, this cannot stop the invisible sword energy that pierces through the body!

The sinister sword energy silently pierced through the blazing breath.

In that instant, the area around the fire dragon suddenly darkened.

All the light seemed to be swallowed up by the dark sword energy.

The lack of a deafening explosion was as if the shadows of hell had leaked into the world.

It devoured the high temperature, the raging flames, and the light.

The overflowing darkness penetrated the fire dragon's massive body.

A huge hole appeared in the fire dragon's body, and it crashed heavily into the sea of ​​fire where flames danced in the lava lake.

Fiery lava poured into the sky.

The fire dragon's life was already as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind.

It still struggled on, managing to stand up and try to dive back into the lava lake.

A figure appeared beside its head like a ghost.
