A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

Bray, who doesn't use magic, might not feel it, but Nick, who is powered by magic, is clearly affected.

Not just Little Nick, but the entire slit trembled because of the dragon's roar.

"Please keep going, the slit is about to give way," Nick reminded Bray one last time.

"..." The lightning bolt landed on the circular array created by Little Nick, staring at the person who had just turned around and received Ladonka.

Although Radonka appears to be a melee fighter, he has so far only used dragon roars or dragon breath.

Of course, these two things alone are enough to give you a headache.

Each one was as exaggerated as the effect of cannon fire.

"Your mission is not to kill the opponent, but to hold them off."

“But I think the prerequisite for holding Him off is to severely injure Him,” Bray murmured, swinging his longsword.

He looked at Ladonka, who had adjusted its direction and opened its blood-red maw, and took a deep breath.

Energy continued to gather in front of Radonka, and all the potential energy in the atmosphere was drawn into the sphere in front of Him.

Ladonka's target was the location where Bray was, which was diagonally below him.

"Little Nick!" Bray waved his left hand, and Little Nick appeared in response, leading him into the distorted space.

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!" The next second, the simple and brutal energy cannon blasted downwards, making a deafening sound.

The shockwave pierced through the air, reaching the ground a thousand meters below and destroying everything on it.

But Ladonka anticipated that Bray would dodge the attack, so he never expected that the enemy would be blasted to ashes by this shot.

He moved the dragon's head, and the shockwave changed direction accordingly, carving a trench in the ground.

He drew away most of the surrounding magic, so Little Nick was unable to perform spatial jumps without restraint.

This time, Bray only moved less than ten meters, and Ladonka knew that his opponent could no longer teleport.

This beam of light was intended to burn this human to ashes.

"Insufficient magic power, unable to jump long distances," Little Nick warned in a cold voice.

"The jump is forced into a three-second cooldown."

"..." Bray felt the heat wave rolling around him, and his heart sank.

Three seconds? Three seconds is enough for him to be swallowed up by the shockwave.

Bray can't fly, and no matter how exaggerated it is in the air, it can't move a very long distance.

If he were to be touched, Bray would surely be reduced to ashes.

He had no way to avoid the damage caused by such an attack.

“Circular formation.” Bray took half a second to utter this word.

Without sadness or joy, he simply uttered two words calmly.

Without asking any questions, Nick created a circular formation for Bray without hesitation.

Although spatial jumps are difficult due to the scarcity of magic, creating a mere magic circle with no real effect is still a piece of cake.

The circular formation was sketched out almost the instant the words were spoken.

Bray stepped onto the circular formation and gripped his longsword tightly.

"Eighteen Styles" in a Flash

"Ding." In a daze, everyone seemed to hear the sound of water droplets falling on the lake.

Then Ladonka continued to exhale dragon breath, while Longtong looked in surprise at the Bray that appeared in front of him.

Without warning, Bray came to Him.

He arrived at the side of the source of the dragon's breath, in a blind spot where the shockwave could not reach.

However, the longsword in Bray's hand had somehow been replaced by a broadsword made of black steel.

Bray gripped the hilt of the "Black Key" sword with both hands, his right eye sharpening.

"Onis Sword Technique" "Beast Transformation Slash"

The black blade drew a crescent moon in mid-air, shattering the dragon scales before striking the dragon's body with a fierce blow.

The terrifying shockwave went out of control as Ladonka was hit, spreading out like bullets and ravaging the ground before quickly dissipating.

Bray withdrew his attack, letting out a deep shout.

"Circular formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a circular formation appeared as his foothold.

This circular array is much more robust than the array used for "Stepping into the Void," and can withstand much greater forces.

The sword, which had been raised, suddenly paused and then slashed downwards once more.

"Onis Sword Technique" "Beast Transformation Slash"!

"Swoosh!!!" The broadsword struck Ladonka, splattering dragon blood everywhere.

Having taken two sword blows in succession, Ladonka completely lost his balance.

With its wings no longer flapping, the dragon could no longer remain in the vast sky and plummeted straight down.

"Boom!!! Boom!!!" Ladonka's massive body crashed into the ground, creating a deep crater.

Flames from the dragon's breath still lingered on the ground, and some of the trees that hadn't been blown away had collapsed and fallen to their sides.

The once vibrant forest was transformed into hell in the blink of an eye.

The culprit lay motionless on the ground.

As Bray fell, he sheathed his broadsword and reached out to grab little Nick.

"He just fell like that?" Bray asked, somewhat puzzled.

If that's really the case, then it's a bit too weak.

"Please be aware, the enemy is about to rise again," Nick suddenly said.

“The great Lord Nico Bolas did not lie to you; your chances of defeating Radonka are indeed very slim.” Little Nico descended slowly, but did not let Bray land; instead, he hovered more than two hundred meters above the ground.

"Ladonka, whose name is 'Trialist,' is the concept of 'giving trials to others.'" Ladonka, who should have been cut down by Bray's two swords, slowly got up from the ground.

"Roar!!!!!" With a dizzying dragon roar, Ladonka stood up.

All of His injuries disappeared, and not only that, His aura even seemed to be on the rise.

Without warning, He flicked His Dragon Head, and a beam of light swept upwards toward the lightning bolts in the sky.

The process was so fast that it looked to the naked eye as if something had sliced ​​through the world.

In that critical moment, Nick grabbed Bray and dodged to the side.

"Whoosh!!!!!" Bray and Nick barely managed to dodge the attack.

However, the aftershocks caused Little Nelly to lose his balance, and he and Bray plummeted helplessly to the ground.

"..." Bray adjusted his posture in mid-air, but even so, without Nick's help, he would definitely get injured if he fell directly.

"Snap." Little Nick knew this too, and managed to grab Bray's clothes again in mid-air, pulling Bray back from his rapid fall.

“Little Nick has an anti-gravity spell, so don’t worry about my wings not working,” Little Nick said coldly, flapping his only remaining wing.

It was only then that Bray noticed that one of Nick's wings had been grazed by the beam of light and burned off.

“At this altitude, you should be able to handle it yourself. I will let go in a second.” When the plane reached a certain altitude, Nick suddenly released his grip and rushed to the front of Bray.

If I say one second, it means one second.

The reason He relented was simple: He believed that in front of the ray lay ever-expanding magic bullets.

Nick rushed over to shield Bray from the blow.

Bree's evasion ability was limited in mid-air, making it impossible to completely avoid the damage from the magic bullet, and Little Nick didn't even know how fragile Bree was.

Even if he avoids most of the damage, Bray will still be killed by a single shot.

Unfortunately, that's the reality: the damage Bray can inflict is disproportionate to the damage he can withstand.

However, no matter which Black Iron type came, they wouldn't be able to withstand Ladonka's attack.

Little Nick raised his tiny paw, and an enormous barrier, invisible to the naked eye, unfolded, completely enveloping the Bray behind him.

"Boom—" Ladonka's magic bullet easily shattered the barrier.

So Little Nick deployed a second high barrier, stubbornly absorbing the opponent's damage.

Then came the third, the fourth...

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The overflowing magic caused Little Nick to make a sound that only occurs when something malfunctions.

Finally, a beam of light enveloped the entire slit, and the world was shrouded in a blinding white.

"Bang!" A muffled sound of something exploding was heard amidst the white light.

After the white light faded, everyone could once again see the narrow crevice that had transformed the forest into a living hell.

Parts of the ground were scorched black by the high temperature, and some rocks were even burned into lava.

In this situation, it would be impossible for a normal person to survive.

But Nick Jr. can save Bray's life.

With a part of his body missing, Little Nick used one paw to lift Bray away from the scorching ground.

"Hiss—" He emitted a cold aura towards the ground, cooling down the surrounding area, before throwing Bray to the ground.

With a thud, Little Nick landed on the ground, his dragon-shaped body missing a part. Others could even see the intricate parts and unidentifiable crystals at the broken edge.

"Cough cough cough..." Bray coughed a few times. Although Nick had blocked a nearly fatal blow for him, the aftershocks still affected him.

If it weren't for the protection of "Flame of Repellency", Bray would probably have been burned.

Of course, compared to his insignificant injury, Little Nick's was a far cry from what one might expect.

"Are you OK?"

“There’s no problem. Please calm down. This is just Little Nick’s body. Little Nick’s essence is intelligence, so there’s no such thing as Little Nick dying.” Little Nick said in a hoarse voice before Bray could even speak.

"Next, please prepare for a tough battle."

“Although Little Nick can still provide teleportation spells, it’s not as smooth as before.” Little Nick’s mutilated body struggled to take off, speaking in a shrill voice.

The area from which he could make a sound was also damaged, and little Nick could no longer produce that beautiful human voice.

“…” Bray glanced helplessly at Little Nick, then glanced at Ladonka, the Destroyer.

Although Nick was unable to speak further, he continued to record the scene.

These are all important materials that need to be uploaded to the great Lord Nicholas.

Bray was not only impressed by Nick's dedication, but also amazed by Ladonka's dramatic transformation.

“…” Bray retreated to Little Nick’s side and looked solemnly at the enormous, crimson body.

“So I don’t like the concept of myself.” Ladonka, having vented all her frustration after her two attacks, said this to Bray in a good mood.

The concept of Ladonka may have many uses, but the method He ultimately chose was very simple—

That is the trial one must overcome to become someone else.

A trial, in essence, is a test of the other party's abilities.

Ladonka, as a trial participant, can be defeated.

However, after being defeated, the enemy will face an even more difficult trial.

But the even more difficult trial was still for Him.

Once you pass the trial, you will become stronger and then challenge your enemies again.

No matter how the enemy defeats Him, He is able to rise again.

"The Trialer" Ladonka gives others endless trials.

This concept is not particularly useful because Radonka lacks the insight to deepen such a narrow concept.

However, by continuously strengthening this single purpose, it created its power.
