Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

"Despicable? How could you be more despicable?"

"You bunch of skeletons surrounding a young woman like me, aren't you ashamed? Aren't you embarrassed?"

Lina continued moving without stopping, cursing under her breath.

She was actually quite angry after being blocked here by these skeletons for so long.

Rick retorted, "I'm a skeleton, I don't have a face, why would I blush?"

Lina hit even harder, yelling, "Die!"

In the blink of an eye, after being whipped more than ten times, Rick arrived beneath the lava ball. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and with the blade pointing outwards, he slashed horizontally at the lava ball.

However, the lava ball was not swatted away as he had expected.

When the knife touched the lava ball, it was easily sliced ​​into two parts, like tofu, and they fell in the same direction.

Rick was shocked. "What kind of magic is that? It's not a meteor spell?"

Seeing Rick's discomfiture, Lina clapped her hands and laughed happily, "Hehe, this is my unique spell. As for its name, I won't tell you!"

She then flew to Rick's side and continued to chase and attack him.

She didn't fly back into the sky until Rick landed on the ground, where she continued to harass and restrain him with small fireballs.

Rick wanted to conjure a large energy blade to smash the lava ball, but he was constantly interfered with by Lina's fireballs and could not do so. He could only hold his breath and keep jumping towards the lava ball, smashing away a part of the lava ball little by little.

Finally, when the lava ball crashed down, Rick knocked away a small portion of the lava.

The lava ball landed on the barrier, but instead of colliding violently as Rick had expected, it scattered like grains of sand, spreading evenly across the barrier and emitting a sizzling sound.

It seemed like a grand gesture, but the actual effect was not very noticeable.

Rick realized that the lava ball was pitifully weak and immediately felt cheated.

He looked at Lina, who was floating in the sky and seemed to be casting a spell, and was startled.

"Barecloth?"

"You want to waste my energy, and then catch me off guard with a fatal blow?"

Rick felt he had found the truth. Laughing wildly, he charged towards Lina high in the sky, stopping her from continuing her spellcasting: "Hahaha, too bad, it seems your plan has gone a little wrong. Your ultimate move isn't fully prepared yet!"

Seeing him rushing towards her, Lina stopped what she was doing, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then clutched her chest, retreating while releasing small fireballs to stop Rick from getting any closer.

Rick wasn't about to let such a good opportunity slip by, and he relentlessly chased after them.

The two fought and retreated, gradually moving away from the Forest Gate.

Before the Forest Gate, the tense silver skeletons relaxed, reducing their energy output, and the thick barrier slowly thinned and became transparent.

Combined with the lava stuck to the barrier, it looks like a dirty mirror.

Sunlight filtered through the barrier, casting dappled shadows through the Forest Gate.

The silver skeletons unconsciously shifted their positions, placing themselves in the shadows. Although they weren't afraid of the direct sunlight, they still didn't like it.

Two silver skeletons even started shoving each other for a good spot.

Their argument escalated to the point where they almost came to blows.

Suddenly, the sun was blocked, and both silver skeletons were in shadow. They immediately stopped arguing.

The other skeletons around turned their heads regretfully, looking up to see which dark cloud was spoiling the view.

But outside the barrier stood a tall red dragon.

"Huh?"

Immediately afterwards, a ball of flame erupted. The lava on the barrier encountered the flame, and its temperature rose sharply, changing its color from dark red with black to bright red. Finally, with a "bang," it exploded.

The high-temperature blast wave and flames generated by the explosion will ignite the unignited lava, causing the lava to change color and explode.

Countless lava blocks exploded one after another, each explosion equivalent to a normal attack from a Tier 3 Gold.

These attacks combined to blast countless cracks into the barrier that the silver skeletons hadn't had time to temporarily reinforce, threatening to shatter it at any moment.

The explosion happened very quickly; in less than two seconds, all the lava near the barrier exploded.

The silver skeletons inside the barrier were stunned. Only after the explosion stopped and they saw the cracks all over the barrier did they hurriedly output energy to try to repair it.

Li Ming wouldn't give them that chance. If the barrier were repaired, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?

He rushed over and swept his tail across the barrier, swung his claws repeatedly, and even used his mouth to bite at the barrier.

This action amused the silver skeletons inside the barrier; they could tell at a glance that Li Ming was only a first-tier bronze-level warrior.

The dragon, which was merely a tool to detonate the lava, actually dared to try to break the barrier. It was laughable to the skeletons, who were even a fraction slower in repairing the barrier.

Concealed by Li Ming's body, several white, egg-shaped Holy Songs were thrown onto the barrier. The eggshells shattered, and dazzling holy light emerged from them.

Sensing the energy of the undead nearby, the holy light automatically converged on the barrier, drilling a hole in it.

Li Ming was overjoyed at the sight. He canceled his transformation and crawled into the small hole.

"Kill him!"

"Repair the barrier!"

"You continue repairing the barrier, I'll kill him."

The silver skeletons quickly reached a consensus, sending one silver skeleton to hunt down Li Ming, while the remaining skeletons continued to repair the barrier.

The barrier is of utmost importance; if Rick discovers they haven't been able to maintain it, their souls could be devoured.

Seeing that only one silver skeleton approached, Li Ming laughed, "You really thought I was an easy target?"

"Let me see just how strong I really am now!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the silver skeleton and slashed down with his sword.

Seeing that he didn't run away, the silver skeleton chuckled and pointed, sending out a line of ice.

"Freezing rays!"

Li Ming had anticipated this. After charging a few steps, he activated the [Shadow Amulet], gradually becoming invisible as his speed decreased sharply, and the rays carrying a chill passed in front of him.

"Have they gone invisible?"

"An assassin?"

The Silver Skeleton was somewhat annoyed. As a mage-type class, it was most afraid of elusive assassins. If it were hit by a Templar Song at close range, it would surely die.

A protective shield lit up around its body as it warily surveyed its surroundings.

The effect of the [Shadow Amulet] didn't last long, and Li Ming was too lazy to wait for it to end. As soon as he walked up to the Silver Skull, he slashed down with his sword.

The shield on the silver skull's body flashed and disappeared without a trace, but it had blocked Li Ming's attack.

The silver skeleton was startled, then released an ice shield and fired several ice spikes.

The ice spikes were extremely fast at close range, but Li Ming was even faster. After making one strike, he immediately activated the second [Shadow Amulet] on his body and ran behind the skeleton.

He then unleashed a second strike, and the ice shield worked well. This time, the basic attack didn't break the ice shield, but instead left it covered in cracks.

The Silver Skull had already sensed something was wrong and cried out for help, "This is a tough one, come quick!"

Li Ming methodically dodged the ice spikes again by turning invisible. This time, he used [Shadow Blade]'s [Swift Step].

With the enhancement of Shadow Strike, the sharp blade light pierced through the ice shield, shattering the crystal-clear ice shield into pieces. Amidst the shimmering light refracted by the ice shards, the [Shadow Blade] struck the silver skull.

The stealth attack, combined with the critical hit that struck a vital point, reduced the Silver Skeleton's health by nearly half.

The eerie light within his skull flickered rapidly, and energy surged violently within his body.

He's going to fight desperately. He might not die from self-destruction once, but if he keeps fighting, he's definitely going to die.
