Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

First, he has exceptionally high energy levels, sleeping only half the amount of a normal red dragon; second, he possesses an extremely strong memory, capable of remembering everything he sees, and can easily discern people's true intentions with just a glance.

But none of these are the most crucial factors. The most crucial factor is that this red dragon possesses an almost prophetic intuition that helps him avoid danger in time.

At this moment, facing Thor's breath, he felt a strange sense of dread, as if it were not the usual fire breath, but something extremely terrifying.

His naturally suspicious nature led him to trust his intuition, and without thinking, he pushed off forcefully, his entire body flying to the side to dodge.

The next instant, Thor's chest erupted with a roar powerful enough to shatter mountains, unleashing terrifying energy from his mouth.

A destructive torrent formed by the condensation of high-density heavy nuclear particles, thick and overwhelming, pressed the air in its path, causing it to emit a muffled boom. It mixed with dragon-attribute energy, forming a pitch-black core.

The raging magic and high temperature enveloped it, making it crimson in color, yet its edges shimmered with a dreamlike rainbow.

The dazzling beam of light crashed down, almost grazing Baragas's scales, before falling into the volcano below.

The rainbow power of earth, water, fire, and wind is annihilating all elements; the extreme temperature and high-energy particles are enough to destroy all matter in the world.

In an instant, a bottomless hole was pierced through the thick rock, and countless streams of blue-purple high-temperature plasma surged and spread wildly in all directions, melting, embrittled, and disintegrating everything it came into contact with.

At the very core of the entire breath, a dark, almost all-consuming black beam of light pierced straight through, silent yet indestructible. The rock strata were rendered useless before it, leaving only a lifeless, gray trail.

The sky was filled with tiny, silvery-white neutron dust scattered by the surging breath, without any dazzling fire, but carrying the desolate power of decay.

Anything touched by it will wither and die; rocks are covered with pale, radiant frost, and even metals that are exposed to it will likely rust and crumble.

When the absorption and conversion capabilities from the Rainbow Light Realm, the demon-breaking power of dragon-attribute energy, and the extreme high temperature and high-speed particle stream generated by heavy nuclear fission combine, what is produced is a destructive breath capable of destroying everything.

A tremendous roar resounded through the sky, and the entire volcano began to collapse and crumble under the impact, sinking into the ever-expanding cavity at its center.

Baragas felt a piercing pain throughout his chest and abdomen, as well as his left forelimb.

The scales, tougher than even legendary armor, crumbled and dissolved like paper at the slightest touch. The dragon hide, with its powerful resistance, had no effect whatsoever, being easily peeled off its flesh.

Hot, viscous dragon blood gushed from the wound, melting and turning metal into stone along the way, and setting the ground ablaze.

Chapter 318 The Mantis Behind

Baragas had almost forgotten when he was last injured—was it ten years ago, a hundred years ago, or even further back in time?

The unfamiliar, intense pain ignited a raging fire within him, but he did not lose his composure; instead, he became even calmer.

The ferocious head slowly rose, its pupils, like molten lava fireballs, fixed on Thor in the sky, and asked, word by word.

"This is definitely not the power a red dragon should have. Just who are you?"

The immense power that a true dragon is born with can also be seen as a constraint.

Take the red dragon for example. The powerful fire magic within its body allows it to control flames from birth and gives it a strong immunity to fire. However, because this magic is too domineering, it can actually hinder its learning of spells of other attributes.

I've never heard of any red dragon being skilled in ice and water magic. Even if it could learn it, casting it would require far more magic power and energy, making it a losing proposition.

However, the red dragon in the sky above was completely different. In that breath, Baragas sensed a power different from fire. It was the rotation of elements, the domineering destruction and erosion, and the unusually high extreme temperature.

What kind of flame is it?

The rotation of elements seems to resemble the red light breath of the Rainbow Dragon, while the high temperature is somewhat like the electric spark breath of the Atheros, but the temperature is higher and more violent, and it also carries a strange curse power.

Baragas could clearly feel a fine, pricking sensation coming from the wound. Although it wasn't intense and couldn't break through his magical defenses, it was like a persistent leech, forcing him to expend more magical power for the wound to slowly heal.

…………

Faced with Baragas's questioning, Thor grinned, revealing a mocking smile.

His wings, with a wingspan of nearly two hundred meters, spread out like a giant curtain, casting a vast shadow. His thermonuclear organs were operating at high speed, continuously generating energy, while the basic elements in the surrounding environment were rushing in to replenish his depleted magic power.

"You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to kill my men. You fool, it's unbelievable that you've lived this long."

These mocking words finally ignited Balagas's fury. He was an ancient red dragon, who had hunted countless of his own kind throughout his long life; when had he ever been treated with such contempt?

With a sudden flap of his broad wings, he disregarded his still-bleeding wounds, leaped from the ground, and pounced on Thor in mid-air.

Thor had already recovered most of the energy he had used up with that breath, so he was naturally fearless. He spewed out crimson dragon energy from his wings and swooped down at an even faster speed.

In the next instant, the two giant beasts collided head-on in mid-air, their huge claws intertwined and their horns on their heads pressed against each other, creating a deafening roar that echoed across the entire sky.

A terrifying shockwave spread outwards in a ring shape, with dazzling sparks flying everywhere.

The physical strength of the ancient red dragons goes without saying, and Baragas, as a red dragon that often preys on its own kind, has an exceptionally strong physique.

The dragon essence he devoured nourished his body, which in a sense was also a way to replenish his bloodline. Even the act itself was a cruel sacrificial ritual.

This gave him strength far exceeding that of red dragons his age, a more youthful physique, and boundless energy. He thought he could turn the tide in close combat, but he didn't expect the power coming from his opponent to be even greater.

The abundance of monster templates has already purified Thor's bloodline to an extremely terrifying level.

Among them are monsters like the Deviljho and Rajang, known for their physical prowess. In addition, the dragon-attribute energy itself enhances the body, making the gap far beyond what food can compensate for.

As the energy within Thor surged, his muscles swelled up like inflating balloons, and his entire body instantly grew larger.

The once perfectly sealed scales were now stretched open, and black and red flashes shone through the gaps, making it look like an overloaded mechanical monster.

After a brief stalemate, Baragas was suddenly defeated, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes, as his body was shoved hard to the ground.

Boom—!!

The volcano, which had already been nearly half submerged underground due to Thor's previous breath attack, was now completely collapsed.

Thick plumes of smoke and dust rose into the air, forming a huge gray-brown mushroom cloud in mid-air.

A wingless black dragon and a brown dragon, just before the volcano completely sank into the ground, frantically rushed out of a cave. They tumbled and crawled as they desperately fled, only daring to look back after running quite a distance.

The once towering Dragon Spring Volcano has now completely disappeared, with sand and dust swirling around it like smog, and angry roars and violent collisions constantly emanating from within.

A thick pillar of fire, resembling solidified lava, shot into the sky, drawing a huge arc in mid-air. However, it was suddenly interrupted halfway through its journey, followed by a deafening roar.

The next moment, countless spikes rose from the ground, pitch black and shimmering with lava patterns, resembling a sharp hill.

The ancient red dragon's combat skills were indeed extraordinary. Its long dragon life allowed Baragas to accumulate rich combat experience. Its claw strikes, bites, and tail flicks were fluid and graceful.

Despite being faster and stronger, Thor's attacks often missed, while his opponents frequently launched counterattacks.

But as the saying goes, if you lack skill, you can make up for it with numbers. Combining the advantages of many monsters and investing a lot of resources to forge a tough scale armor, he was able to withstand the minions of Baragas. Although the scale armor on his body was blasted and deformed, it never really damaged his flesh underneath.

His wings and tail blades, which resemble giant blades, can inflict severe damage on the opponent with just a light swipe.

Despite the vast difference in hardware capabilities, Baragas, though outwardly holding the upper hand, was inwardly extremely frustrated and even somewhat terrified. In contrast, Thor's combat skills were improving rapidly under the tutelage of his kin.

Seeing that this was not a solution, Baragas began to use his breath and various spells to try to create distance.

However, Thor only needs to exhale the dragon energy behind him to instantly traverse distances of thousands or tens of thousands of meters, giving his opponent no chance to escape.

When the opponent's crimson-gold breath struck him, he could withstand it with his own fire resistance. However, the power of the rainbow core fission contained in Thor's breath made Balagas dare not touch it at all.

The battlefield stretched from Dragon Spring all the way to the Progo Mountains, where mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and forests were destroyed.

The blood splattered along the way fell onto the mountains and rocks, solidifying like crimson crystal beads, and raging flames ignited, turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​lava.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, a man in black robes quietly emerged from thin air, waved his staff lightly, and a large amount of dragon blood immediately fell into the round jar in his hand, drawn by an invisible force.

Chapter 319 Time Stops

The entire mountain range was almost entirely engulfed in flames, and countless lives were lost in the fire. The rising ashes resembled black snowflakes drifting upstream, and the sky for dozens of kilometers around was illuminated by the fire in a fiery red glow.

As the battle with Baragas continued, Thor's attacks became increasingly skillful, to the point that his entire upper body almost stood upright, constantly unleashing destructive torrents of energy forward.

Each swing of the claws, imbued with dragon-attribute energy and elemental power, triggers a deafening explosion. The wings and tail, resembling giant blades, slash across the sky, leaving behind long-lasting arcs of light.

Baragas had never felt so powerless in a battle as he did now.

The opponent's thick scales seemed to be forged from divine metal, making them impossible to tear easily. Furthermore, their powerful elemental resistance rendered his breath and most spells ineffective.

But the attacks unleashed by this damned monster were imbued with an extremely domineering energy, completely ignoring his elemental resistance. Furthermore, with every move it made, various elements such as water, fire, earth, and wind surged forth.

Every now and then, a howling tornado descends from the sky, a forest of spikes springs up from the ground, dazzling lightning bolts flash everywhere, and howling flames dance across the sky.

What made Baragas even more unbelievable was that when the battlefield between the two sides passed a winding river, the strange red dragon reached into the water with its claws and pulled up the entire river.

More than a thousand tons of river water transformed into a roaring white dragon, which he lashed out with as a long whip.

Although the enormous impact did not cause him any real harm, it still made him dizzy and disoriented, and then he was hit solidly by a claw.

When did the Red Dragon acquire such strong control over water elements? How come he'd never heard of it before?

Where on earth did this monster come from? The abilities it displays are something a red dragon should never possess.

The series of unfavorable situations led Balagas to consider retreating, but he still did not think he could not defeat Thor. He only felt that he was not well prepared and had not yet come up with a solution.

However, as soon as the thought arose, the movements of his claws immediately became weak and conservative.

Thor keenly sensed this and, during a lull in the attack, grinned and sneered.

"Are you planning to run away? You cowardly fool! Why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy? Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life."

These words struck a nerve with Baragas. As a red dragon, retreating, for whatever reason, was an extremely shameful act.

Some red dragons will even fight to the death when they know they are no match for the enemy, but such red dragons usually don't live very long.

Unable to refute, Baragas could only roar wildly, spewing out continuous breaths to vent his anger.

Taking advantage of Thor's temporary retreat, Baragas suddenly took a deep breath, his limbs sinking deep into the ground like iron claws, and a dazzling red light emanating from the gaps in his scales.

At that moment, the ancient red dragon's body swelled up, and a writhing "flow" rose from its chest and abdomen, spreading along its throat to its snout.

Next, he will use a charged, enhanced breath attack to buy himself time to teleport away.

Thor had already adjusted his posture, and the dragon energy on his wings was spewing out as he rapidly approached from not far away.

The next moment, billowing flames, like the Yangtze River, erupted from Baragas's mouth. The crimson-gold flames were as viscous as magma, and with a powerful impact, they engulfed Thor.

While this attack couldn't cause much damage to Thor, who was also a red dragon and had near-immunity to fire, the sheer force and impact of the pure magical burst were not something that could be easily resisted.

A torrent of intense heat surged through the air, propelling Thor's body backward.

As the red light began to emanate from Baragas's body, water-like patterns appeared in the surrounding space.

Just then, Thor seemed to sense something, and his wings suddenly flipped over, using his well-developed tendons to change the direction of the dragon's breath nozzles from backward to downward.

The immense propulsive force propelled his body like a fish, leaping from the crimson river of dragon's breath and soaring straight into the sky.

A mocking glint flashed in Balagas's eyes. What use would it be now that he had gotten rid of the dragon's breath?

His interdimensional teleportation was almost complete, and even if that damned reptile flew incredibly fast, it would be too late.

Time seemed to stretch out at that moment, and the crimson ominous star, rising like a shooting star, suddenly disappeared into the sky.

This caused a strange unease in Baragas's heart, but looking at his already ethereal body, he quickly calmed down.

The teleportation process has begun, and his body is squeezing into the astral spaceway. It cannot be interrupted without specific means.

The world before my eyes was changing rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye from a mountain range engulfed in flames into a tranquil, silvery-white landscape.

This is the boundless Sea of ​​Stars. As an ancient red dragon, Baragas is very familiar with the surrounding environment, except for that shimmering ominous star.

Crimson dragon energy surged continuously from its wings, and a powerful spirit propelled its body, making it fly through the star realm like a streak of light.

Thor, who had been waiting there, flew towards Baragas the moment he appeared. Endless dragon energy and magic gathered in his right claw, condensing into a jet-black, iridescent sphere, which slammed down on him.

"Old man, where do you think you're going!"

boom--!!!

In the normally silent astral realm, a violent tremor erupted at this moment due to a powerful energy reaction.

Before Baragas could react, everything went black, and a sharp pain exploded in his chest, sending him staggering backward.

As if crossing some invisible barrier, the world before my eyes changed once again, from the boundless silver star sea back to that burning mountain range.

He was actually forced out of the astral plane, and the wound on his chest, which had not yet healed, was hit again and was almost pierced through.

The tough muscles had burst open, and fine cracks appeared on the sternum. Through the gaps between the bones, one could even see the beating heart.

His intuition was screaming warnings: Thor in the sky was already gathering his strength, and this time, heavily injured, he would have a hard time dodging.

However, at that moment, an invisible wave suddenly swept across from not far away, and the flames burning and dancing in the forest were instantly frozen in mid-air, like a cluster of beautiful crystals.

The hot wind blowing through the air stopped, and even Thor's body seemed to turn into a flying insect in a lake.
