Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

As the sun rose higher and approached noon, the desert winds that whipped up yellow sand carried a scorching heat.

Kalendak, now in human form, stood in the shadows of the building, his face half-hidden by the hood of his cloak, yet revealing a chilling gaze.

Far away from him, there were herds of centaurs. Dense wind element spread from the leading centaurs, transforming into bluish-white wind patterns that intertwined and connected them into a unified whole.

The once clear sky was suddenly shrouded in a dark cloud, with thunderous lightning crackling within it, illuminating the group of pale purple giants who were at least seven or eight meters tall.

Below the clouds, there are numerous giant rocks rising abruptly from the ground. Their surfaces are a deep blackish-brown, interspersed with speckled patterns of light blue, pale silver, and violet.

If you look further down, through the dry sand, you will see a golden human-shaped coffin buried deep underground, and ugly, hunchbacked creatures that have dug out a network of caves.

These are all powerful beings from all over the wilderness, and besides them, there are many more and more creatures of all kinds around.

At this moment, they all released their senses and vigilantly observed their surroundings.

As the appointed time draws ever closer, the powerful red dragon could appear at any moment.

No one thought he wouldn't come. The blue dragon's actions were an intolerable provocation to any creature, let alone the red dragon, who was known for his volatile and arrogant nature.

The question now is, in what way will he appear, and from where will he launch his attack?

A somber atmosphere enveloped the wilderness near Dark Castle, and the powerful low pressure made even some small creatures have difficulty breathing.

…………

A goblin swallowed hard, its cloudy, yellowish-brown eyes darting around.

It came here not to contribute to any dragon-slaying plan, but to take advantage of the impending chaos and see if it could pick up some bargains.

And the majority of the creatures present shared the same idea.

Once those top experts in the wilderness start fighting, some will inevitably be injured or killed.

If they can seize the opportunity to pick up even a scale, a claw, or a drop of spilled blood, it is enough for them to undergo a complete transformation.

However, dreams are often grand, but reality is often harsh. When truly in such a tense and oppressive atmosphere, not everyone can withstand it.

Its innate optimism led the goblin to participate, but its cowardly and timid nature soon made it regret its decision.

Before the battle could begin, they turned and fled into the distance.

In its haste, it slipped and fell heavily to the ground. As it raised its head, cursing, it saw a flashing red light in its eyes.

At the same time, the blue dragon hiding in the shadow of the building, the centaur wandering along the edge of the square, the storm giant high in the sky, and the earth elementals and mummies buried underground all suddenly turned their heads and looked in that direction.

……

The high-speed friction with the air and the constantly surging dragon energy enveloped Thor's entire body in a dazzling red light.

His exceptional eyesight allowed him to spot ant-like swarms of creatures on the ground dozens of kilometers away, yet his flight speed didn't slow down at all; instead, it accelerated! Accelerated even further!

At this moment, Thor's wings were folded into the sides of his body like shields. There were a total of 10 vector nozzles on both wings, and under each raised scale, scorching dragon energy was gushing out.

A massive amount of energy swirled around his body, transforming him into a small, crimson sun. With a maniacal, ferocious smile on his lips, he slammed down fiercely towards the creature below.

The crimson flash came incredibly fast, like a dazzling shooting star falling from the sky.

A series of sonic booms echoed from behind, and the pale purple shockwave cloud spread wildly, but it could never catch up with the figure in front.

Speeds exceeding several Mach are astonishing, even surpassing the reflexes of most living beings. By the time they spot the distant red light, the brilliant meteor is already upon them.

Only powerful individuals like Kalendak and Kahal were able to react in that brief moment. Their eyes widened suddenly, their pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints, and they opened their mouths as if to sound an alarm.

But it was too late, everything was too late. The speed at which sound traveled was like that of a snail crawling in front of Thor at this moment.

The instant his body touched the ground, a visible hemispherical shockwave exploded outwards, the intense heat vaporizing the rocks and soil, transforming them into a blinding white light that expanded wildly outwards.

Creatures within one kilometer of the collision point experienced a blinding white light and lost all hearing before being uncontrollably thrown backward.

The makeshift armor they wore was easily torn apart like paper by the ultra-high pressure shockwave. Numerous fragments embedded themselves deep in their flesh, their internal organs ruptured under the impact, their blood vessels burst, and even their eyeballs bulged out.

The intense heat followed immediately, instantly igniting their clothing, fur, and skin, tearing their bodies to pieces, and turning them into deadly projectiles along with the flying debris and lava.

Even creatures a kilometer away from the impact zone felt an immense force bearing down on them. Blood flowed from their fragile ear canals, their bones cracked, and they too were lifted off the ground by the shockwave.

Some unlucky ones were hit by rubble and rocks, and under the enormous kinetic energy given by that terrifying speed, they all exploded into a bloody mist.

Even creatures five kilometers away felt the violent tremors, their ears filled with a noisy buzzing, their eyes filled with terror, desperately trying to avoid the various projectiles that were thrown like cannonballs.

The entire world fell into a deathly silence. Even as massive pillars of fire shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed up like mushrooms, the creatures here could not hear a sound.

The immense fear and sensory stimulation even made them forget to run away, and they just stared blankly at the devastating scene.

Time seemed to stretch on forever. When the trembling ground finally calmed down, the blazing fire gradually died down, and the strong winds from the wilderness dispersed the smoke, their ravaged eardrums were finally able to hear again.

"I heard you've gathered here to challenge my authority? Who gave you the audacity! Don't you know that even if there's a lot of trash gathered together, it's still just a larger pile of trash!"

Chapter 238 Astral Jump

Boom-! ! ! !

The belated explosion rang out with a deafening roar, followed by a muffled rumble of thunder across the sky.

The deep, majestic sound was like a giant axe cleaving through the curtain of silence. In an instant, all sorts of sounds poured out—screams, roars, angry howls, and pleas for mercy tinged with fear, all intertwined into a chaotic cacophony.

The once flat loess and sandy land now features a huge sinkhole with a diameter of over 300 meters and a depth of over 150 meters.

The surrounding soil was violently compressed, spreading outwards in waves as high as ten meters, churning menacingly.

The terrifying heat lingered, and streams of orange-red magma flowed down the pit walls. A red dragon, over twenty-eight meters long, slowly rose from the bottom of the pit, its molten gold pupils casually sweeping over everything around it.

The blue-purple dragon slowly lowered its wings that had been covering its body, its eyes burning with hatred as it stared straight back at the red dragon.

The centaur, its body swirling with gusts of wind and forming a sky-blue barrier, was struggling to protect its people behind it, its gaze toward the red dragon filled with apprehension.

The storm giants suspended high in the sky, though undoubtedly the least affected, are still desperately stirring up the thunderclouds around them, constantly summoning their allies from the wind elemental plane, ready for battle.

Meanwhile, the golden coffins that were originally hidden underground are now burrowing deeper into the earth like startled earthworms.

The cave dwellers infected by the abyss were mercilessly crushed by the turbulent earth; those with slightly weaker strength were almost all turned into piles of minced meat, a truly gruesome sight.

…………

"Ha! Hornless reptiles, purple-skinned dwarfs, centaurs, and a bunch of brainless stones."

Arrogant words slowly escaped Thor's lips, his gaze towards the surrounding creatures filled with undisguised contempt.

Those present were almost all top creatures of the wilderness, the best of their respective races. When had they ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace? They were instantly enraged.

"Red Dragon! Don't be so arrogant!"

"Dare to underestimate us, or you will pay the price!"

Kalendak suddenly flapped his wings, and the enormous abyssal magical energy within his body instantly transformed into blue-purple lightning, surging continuously around him, while he let out a frenzied roar.

"Don't think you're the only one who's gotten stronger. I've also gained legendary power! Now our strength is evenly matched, damn red dragon!"

Arrogant? Quite?

Thor seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world; his mouth suddenly stretched wide open, and he burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Naive reptile, has your brain been eaten by a worm? How can you still have such unrealistic fantasies! Let me make you face reality again!"

boom!!!

A violent dragon aura erupted from Thor's wings, and his massive body accelerated to a terrifying degree in a short instant.

Kalendak stared wide-eyed, now completely transformed into a ball of lightning, but could only barely catch a glimpse of a rapidly approaching figure and the high-temperature shockwaves created by the tearing of air from the outstretched claws.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. He desperately mobilized the magic power within his body, turning it into electric currents that stimulated every nerve.

The heavy body moved to one side little by little at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and just barely dodged the attack at the last second.

Damn it! When did this red dragon become so fast? And what the hell is that crimson energy spewing from its wings? It wasn't there the last time we met.

And that violent impact before was something that ordinary objects could not withstand. Even the creatures around it that were affected suffered heavy casualties, but this red dragon did not have any wounds. What was going on?

Too many doubts surged in his mind, causing Kalendak's heart to sink and a bad premonition to rise.

However, he couldn't afford to lose face. Driven by the hatred in his heart and his fragile pride, he suddenly turned his body and roared.

"Is this all the arrogance you have? It's nothing special. I dodged it with ease!"

But when Kalendak's eyes, flashing with purple-blue lightning, swept around, he did not see the crimson flash that represented Thor. In front of him was only an orc staring intently at him, whose pupils were contracting violently due to extreme shock.

"You dodged it? Who gave you that illusion, you piece of trash!"

boom!!

A ferocious giant claw had somehow landed on Kalendak's head, and an unparalleled force instantly slammed his head into the ground.

The hard loess sand underfoot seemed to have been blasted open, with soil, rocks, and gravel flying everywhere.

The 32-meter-long blue dragon was forced into the ground by Thor, along with its head, neck, and most of its body.

The next instant, Thor felt his claws sink into nothingness. The enormous blue dragon seemed to melt away, silently disappearing into the shadows. When it reappeared, it was already a hundred meters away.

Kalendak stared at Thor not far away with disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and incomprehension.

He had clearly dodged the red dragon's attack. Given the powerful inertia generated by the dragon's exaggerated flight speed, how could it possibly make such a rapid change of direction and even silently circle behind him?

But the storm giants and centaurs who were watching Thor closely could see clearly that the moment Kalendak dodged Thor's attack, the terrifying red dragon suddenly vanished from its spot and reappeared above Kalendak's head.

In that brief instant, Thor had completed a short astral journey.

In that world without up, down, left, right, space, or gravity, all movement is accomplished through mental imagination.

Not to mention emergency turns, Thor can even make 360-degree turns and any other incredible maneuvers while flying at high speeds, by taking advantage of the process of entering and leaving the astral plane.

Kalendak's desperate attempts to dodge seemed ridiculous to Thor, but his final energy-based ability was somewhat interesting.

…………

The massive red dragon grinned maliciously, its gaze sweeping over the blood seeping from Kalendak's head before turning to the other creatures nearby, laughing wildly.

"Is this the power you gained by selling your soul? Weak! Too weak! If this is all you have, then your good luck is probably over."

And you lowly creatures, merciful Thor has decided to give you one last chance. Kneel down now and submit to me, offer your lives and loyalty, and if I'm in a good mood, I might spare your lives.”

In response to Thor's provocation, the storm giants in mid-air simply roared and pulled thick bolts of lightning from the clouds.

Kahal stroked the holy spear in his hand, silently leading the centaurs in a charge, demonstrating his stance through his actions.

The humiliation in Kalendak's heart was driving him to the brink of madness. He let out an even more frenzied roar, and the enormous abyssal energy surged wildly within his body, causing the scales all over his body to twist and deform. One after another, the white bone spikes suddenly protruded from his body, exuding an ominous aura.

An invisible domain unfolded, instantly staining the sand beneath his feet with a nauseating purplish-black color.

The corpses of those creatures that had died from Thor's attacks began to writhe strangely, with dark red blood seeping out from them. As if guided, they swarmed toward Kalendak, who had completely transformed into a demonic dragon.

"Don't underestimate me! Don't underestimate me!"

Chapter 239 Elementalization

The thunderclouds gathering in the sky were corrupted by the abyssal fel energy, and their originally lead-black color was gradually turning into a strange blue-purple.

Seeing that the discolored sand was about to spread to his feet, Solton frowned in displeasure and stomped down heavily with his front paw.

The power from the earth and fire was struck, and endless fire and earth elements resonated in response. Cracks spread rapidly outward from the point where his feet landed, and then scalding magma began to gush out.

The charging centaurs felt a violent tremor beneath their feet, and the ground in front of them cracked open like a shattered biscuit, revealing wide chasms.

Before they could even leap across, the gushing lava had already erected walls more than ten meters high, and the surrounding temperature began to rise sharply, making the horseshoes under their feet scorching hot.

Is this the power of legend? Every move it makes can influence the world's power, enough to change the world.

Ordinary centaurs were so fragile and vulnerable in the face of this overwhelming power, which was like a natural disaster. They quickly turned around and began to retreat rapidly.

However, Kahar did not stop his charge. At this moment, his spear made a light sound, and the power of the storm enhanced it, clearing away all obstacles in his path.

This is a legendary weapon, a relic passed down through generations of the centaur tribes in the wilderness.

The main body is made of wind-patterned bronze, while the blade is made of rare celestial gold. The whole thing looks like a bluish-white stream of light, and it is said to have been born deep within the wind elemental plane.

Only the most powerful centaurs can wield this weapon and embark on the path known as the Windseekers.

With this spear, Kahar was confident he could pierce the red dragon's scales and deliver a fatal blow.
