Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

Meanwhile, more heat flowed into Thor's lungs, constantly strengthening those alveoli that were tougher than metal, prompting them to split and recombine.

At that moment, Thor suddenly felt that one of the four elemental torrents that flowed through all things in the world was calling out to him.

A "fruit" that seemed as shapeless as the wind emerged from the bluish-white river and was firmly grasped in his claws.

The power of the storm was now in his grasp. The wind-elemental magic in the sky cheered excitedly, howling and gathering to form a huge funnel-shaped vortex above the magnificent Crimson Flame Palace.

As Thor exhaled, the entire Crimson Flame Palace, along with the air within a radius of thousands of meters, was instantly inhaled into his chest cavity, and then transformed into two magnificent "white dragons" that spewed out from his nostrils.

In this world, wind and thunder have always been inseparable; wherever a storm howls, thunder will surely follow.

With a deafening roar, blinding lightning bolts snaked through the storm vortex above, landing on the golden dome of the Crimson Flame Palace and rolling down like ripples in the surrounding water.

The lightning magic from the Thunder Wolf Dragon monster template was almost actively poured into the newly born storm magic, and its power continued to rise as wind and lightning intertwined.

The powers of fire and earth converged, and under the fusion of rainbow light, pure destructive power was born.

…………

The authority from the ancient dragon is clearly not something that can be fully integrated in a short period of time.

Howling winds swept across Mount Doom and its surrounding territory, accompanied by occasional thunderous booms. The volcano below seemed to be stimulated as well, emitting a muffled roar.

A new eruption has begun.

Rolling lava surrounded the red dragon's palace, rising higher and higher, while more lava flowed down the mountainside, spreading wildly.

This apocalyptic scene terrified everyone who witnessed it.

Fortunately, the creatures living nearby were already used to it, dodging the falling rocks as they scurried away.

Only the kobolds, facing this terrifying sight, showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they sang and danced, shouting with excitement.

They could sense that their great dragon lord was growing stronger. Bathed in the glory of the red dragon, the Crimson Scale tribe was destined for a new era of prosperity.

One day, the once insignificant kobolds may be able to command the respect of all races.

…………

When Thor awoke from his slumber, the first thing he felt was an intense hunger, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time since loading the monster template after he had become powerful enough.

Fortunately, he still had a lot of essence in his account. This time, in addition to exchanging a large amount of dragon crystals and a small amount of ether crystals, he also exchanged a lot of sky-flash stones to meet his body's needs.

After a hearty meal, until the hunger in his stomach completely subsided, he finally had time to observe the changes in his body.

Perhaps because the Steel Dragon is not a monster known for its size, Thor's body length did not increase significantly, barely exceeding 32 meters.

The horns on its head intertwine with clusters of thorns, resembling a rugged crown, and an invisible, colorless gust of wind swirls around its body, forming a barrier-like presence.

Even though his weight hadn't changed much, and might even have increased, Thor inexplicably felt a sense of lightness throughout his body.

With a gentle flap of its wings, its entire body was lifted into the air by the airflow, and then crimson dragon energy surged out, bursting out of the palace's wide-open gate.

As Thor sped through the air once more, his experience was completely different from before.

Fast! It was incredibly fast! So fast that even his dynamic vision and reflexes could barely make out the scenery rushing past below.

As we all know, the speed of an object is directly proportional to the wind resistance it experiences.

Doubling the speed increases wind resistance fourfold; tripling the speed increases wind resistance ninefold.

The faster the speed, the more energy is used to fight wind resistance. When the speed reaches a certain level, this part can even exceed 90%, and the energy actually used for forward movement is very little.

Therefore, with the same power, a rocket has a speed limit in the atmosphere, but in space it can approach the speed of light infinitely.

At this moment, the wind pressure barrier surrounding Thor's body causes the air in front of him to naturally part to the sides before it touches his body, making the wind resistance almost imperceptible.

At this moment, he felt as if he were flying in a vacuum, his forward momentum constantly accumulating, and his speed naturally increased.

The creatures on the ground only saw a long, red rainbow suddenly appear in the sky, without beginning or end, splitting the entire sky in two.

This is because Thor flies so fast that their eyes and nerves cannot react in time to capture the meteor's streak.

Later, Thor even shut down the dragon breath vents on his body, but due to the low wind resistance, his entire body still flew forward at high speed by inertia.

It wasn't until quite some time later that the flight speed gradually decreased, and when it finally came to a complete stop, he found himself on the other side of the wilderness.

Mountains, grasslands, and deserts were left behind, and what appeared before Thor was an endless expanse of glaciers and a biting cold wind.

Unexpectedly, a simple test flight led directly to the endless glacier. Looking at the surrounding icy and snowy environment, Thor felt a strange sense of familiarity.

True dragons often have the ability to remember everything they see. He quickly realized that this was the path he had walked when he was a fledgling dragon.

If I remember correctly, a short distance ahead, you'll see a towering glacier, beneath which lies a semi-dormant volcano with a huge fissure.

A sizable clan of glacial dwarves lived there, and when he passed by before, they had "gifted" him quite a few good things.

Now that he was here, Thor felt it necessary to help these old friends escape the harsh environment and move to a place more suitable for life.

For example, his territory is quite nice, and in return, he only needs the other party to give up their life and soul.

The thought flashed through his mind, and a ferocious smile immediately appeared on Thor's face.

The massive red dragon followed the memories in its mind and, with its keen sense of fire and earth elements, quickly discovered the wide crack.

He couldn't wait to leap down, his whole body falling like a cannonball, but just before hitting the ground, he suddenly flapped his wings.

The surging winds spread outwards like an explosion, causing a huge bowl-shaped depression to appear in the magma below. A loud roar resounded and echoed throughout the entire interior of the volcano.

"You didn't expect that, did you, you blue-skinned dwarves? I'm back!"

Chapter 272 Melting

The majestic aura spread outwards, and the scalding magma surged and rose in waves, like an ever-flowing tide.

The glacial dwarves, who were forging ore in the furnace, were startled by the sudden sound. They looked up at the sky and felt a terrifying pressure coming towards them. Their tools immediately fell to the ground with a clang.

Twenty years is not a long time for long-lived dwarves, at least not long enough for their lives to change much.

So the surrounding furnishings were almost identical to what Thor had seen last time, still those densely packed caves like anthills, and high-temperature furnaces built along the rock walls.

Even the glacier dwarves busy around are likely the same group.

Their gazes fell on Thor's massive body, moving inch by inch along the thick, gold and red scales, looking at his ferocious head, robust torso, sharp claws and teeth, and wings that blotted out the sky. A deep sense of terror immediately filled their eyes.

Last time, those dragon cubs, averaging only about five meters in length, already caused a huge uproar. This one in front of us is a behemoth over thirty-two meters long! Just how terrifying must its strength be!

After a brief silence, piercing screams began to rise and fall as the glacier dwarves scrambled toward the caves in the volcano's inner walls, wishing they had two more legs.

Thor wouldn't just stand by and watch these excellent servants escape; skilled blacksmiths were a rare and valuable trade for him.

If they were to actually crawl into those tiny "rat holes," I could certainly kill them, but it would be quite difficult to drag them out alive.

Fortunately, the volcano is the Red Dragon's home ground, and the authority from the earth has long since spread to every corner in all directions.

The enormous red dragon raised one of its forepaws and clenched it tightly. With a thunderous roar, countless black and red thorns shot into the sky from the lava.

They stood like a fence in front of the caves inside the volcano, completely blocking the retreat of the glacier dwarves. No matter how hard they swung their picks and hammers, they couldn't budge them.

Only then did Thor leisurely descend from mid-air, stepping onto the scorching lava, and walk step by step to the glacier dwarves, looking down at these desperate "rats."

"It's outrageous that an old friend would try to run away without even saying hello."

A rolling wave of sound erupted from Thor's gaping maw, causing the glacier dwarves below to feel an intense heat. Looking at the colossal creature so close at hand, their faces showed visible helplessness and terror.

That's terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

In this scorching volcano, there is no creature more terrifying than the red dragon, as if it could burn them to ashes with just a breath.

One of the glacier dwarves, who seemed to be the leader, mustered his courage and stepped forward, speaking tremblingly.

"Great Red Dragon, it is an honor to meet you. We do not seem to have met before. I wonder why you are making things difficult for us?"

If you want gold coins, we are willing to pay a sufficient ransom. Just release my people, and I will immediately..."

As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Faced with a monster that can unleash terrifying natural disasters with a mere flick of its claws, even a stubborn dwarf can only lower its head.

Faced with the glacier dwarf's pleas for mercy, Thor only revealed a sinister smile.

This time, he wasn't after any gold coins. Besides, if he could capture all these glacier dwarves, all their wealth would be his.

With a gentle touch of its long tail in the magma, a large amount of orange-red liquid rose up, intertwining and condensing, quickly forming a broad platform at the center of the volcano.

A narrow path connects the platform to the glacier dwarves located on the inner wall of the volcano, and the meaning is self-evident as the enormous red dragon gently taps its claws.

The glacier dwarves exchanged glances, their hearts filled with resistance. However, when they saw the fierce glint in Thor's eyes and the flames burning in his throat, they had no choice but to obey.

One by one, the glacier dwarves quickly made their way through the path to the platform at the center of the volcano. After the last one passed, a wave of orange-red light surged in, instantly cutting off their retreat.

Now they were completely trapped inside the volcano, surrounded by scorching lava, with only a small platform beneath their feet. Without rescue, they would only die of thirst and hunger.

Such a drastic change naturally attracted the attention of the other glacier dwarves. Dense footsteps and the sound of armor clashing came from the largest main road. Before long, a group of fully armed glacier dwarves swarmed out.

When they saw the enormous red dragon submerged in lava, they were all startled, but their good manners still made them raise their heavy shields and prepare for battle.

Then an exceptionally tall glacier dwarf emerged from the crowd, and a biting cold wind spread out, slightly dispelling the scorching heat inside the volcano.

"Evil red dragon, release my people! If you have the guts, come at me!"

Thor narrowed his molten gold pupils slightly, his gaze sweeping over the warhammer covered in ice spikes in his hand and the tower shield as tall as a person, and a ferocious smile immediately appeared on his face.

"These tiny insects may not be big in size, but they have quite the big mouth. I never thought that after more than 20 years, you would still be so incompetent and weak."

In the next instant, Thor's massive body leaped out of the lava, his ferocious claws reaching forward to grab at the group of glacier dwarves with overwhelming force.

The terrifying aura caused the glacier dwarf facing them to suddenly shrink his pupils and instinctively want to retreat, but at that moment a loud roar suddenly rang out.

"Damn red dragon, don't underestimate us! Axe throwers, get ready... release!"

A barrage of heavy hand axes flew out from the dwarven ranks, along with a massive warhammer, crashing into Thor's palm with a whooshing sound.

Faced with this presumptuous act, Thor couldn't help but show a mocking expression. His claws continued their movements without stopping, reaching out to grab forward.

A series of rapid metallic clanging sounds rang out as hand axes forged from fine steel struck the dense, golden-red scales, sending up a shower of dazzling sparks. The heavy warhammer followed closely behind, its clanging sound like thunder.

Just as the glacier dwarves were about to smile as their attacks hit their mark, they discovered that the red dragon's palm hadn't even been scratched, let alone wounded.

As the five thick dragon claws closed inward, most of the throwing axes, along with the Icebreaker warhammer, were firmly gripped in Thor's claws.

High-temperature flames rose up, with dark lightning flashing wildly. Extreme ice and fire collided violently within, creating a white mist that blotted out the sky.

Chapter 273 Submission

The Icebreaker Warhammer, crafted primarily from pure ice, is undoubtedly a powerful magical weapon, even deserving of legendary status.

However, any part of Thor's body could be used as the main material for crafting legendary equipment.

The two are completely incomparable in terms of size and power. The True Ice, which has a powerful restraining effect on ordinary red dragons, is like a slightly cool block of ice in Thor's claws.

Under the influence of body heat, the small ice cube didn't even last long before it melted.

When Thor opened his claws under the tense gaze of the glacier dwarves, there was no trace of the flying axe and heavy hammer in his palm; only a pool of hot, reddish-gold metallic liquid remained.

In this glacial dwarf clan, a legendary weapon that had been passed down for countless millennia, and even left its mark on the dragon's heritage, was destroyed by Thor's claws.

The first thing that came to the eyes of the glacier dwarves who witnessed all this was deep disbelief.

The weapon forged from the legendary, eternally unmelting ice, is just gone like that? Wasn't it said that even legendary powerhouses couldn't easily destroy it?

After fully recognizing this reality, intense anger followed. However, when their gaze fell upon the red dragon ahead, an even stronger fear immediately suppressed all their emotions.

The look of fear and awe in his eyes, along with the subtle hints flashing below his gaze, filled Thor with a sense of pleasure.

He opened his mouth wide, raised his claws, and swallowed the pool of molten liquid metal directly into his stomach.

This contains many rare and precious ingredients, and for Thor, it can be considered a refreshing snack.

The leading glacier dwarf seemed to awaken from a nightmare at this moment, and upon seeing Thor's actions, he let out a shrill roar.

"No! Shut up!! Damn red dragon, what have you done?!"

For a qualified soldier, the weapons and equipment in his hands are an extension of his flesh and blood, the bottom line of his dignity, and a partner even closer than his comrades-in-arms who share life and death.

At this moment, the expression on his face was even more grief-stricken than if his parents had died.

However, dragons and humans cannot understand each other's feelings, and Thor only found him too noisy.
