Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

When all of them left, Mercer himself floated and immersed in the lava, stretched out comfortably, and began to think.

Now is different from before. A few years ago, I had to do everything myself. But now, I have a lot of middle-level people. I just give them a lot of requests and that's it. My only task is to supervise. And review, thinking about it this way, I really feel a little relaxed.

But having said that, Mercer also knew that he still had too many things to do. Only he could call out the flying dragons and dire wolf dragons that were part of the combat force.

——However, just as Mercer was preparing to wait for today's food, the lava around Mercer suddenly fluctuated.

Ripples rose from around him, and the lava formed a vortex, pulling him deeper into the depths.

An arrogant aura sounded from the depths of the magma, causing Mercer to frown slightly, spread his wings and fly into the air, looking at the sudden changes beneath him.

In Mercer's impression, there was only one person who could trigger such a degree of change... no, it should be said to be a bird: the red phoenix.

"Wow—"

A cry rang out from the lava, resounding throughout the ice-veined snowfield. In an instant, all the creatures trembled involuntarily, feeling the frightening aura.

At the top of the ecological niche, there is an existence with incomparable power - natural disaster.

A voice suddenly flew out of the magma, brushed past Mercer's body, and flew higher into the sky than him, spreading its crimson and bright gold wings.

It seems to have changed slightly, the feathers on its body have changed, and its size has become larger.

Hong Huang looked around, feeling the unpleasant meaning. The feathers slowly fell down, but they had already dissipated before they reached the ground.

"This is......"

Mercer raised his hand and looked at the sky.

The snowflakes falling in his hands began to slowly dissipate, and for some reason, Mercer felt a hint of warmth from the black mist.

"The weather...changed?"

The blizzard in the sky calmed down, no more snowflakes fell, and the sun penetrated the dissipating dark clouds and sprinkled on the melting snow.

--miracle.

Mercer suddenly thought of this word in his mind, changing the weather at will. Mercer could not think of any creature that could do this.

However, after doing all this, Hong Huang's expression did not change much. It was as simple as breathing. It just lowered its head calmly and looked at Mercer, showing strong displeasure.

It was questioning that Mercer's behavior of repeatedly leaving here had made it feel dissatisfied and insulted, as if Mercer was deliberately going against it and not listening to its request to stay here honestly.

"Wow!"

It chirped, showing its disgust.

It sent a message to Mercer - not any creature can be treated as immersed in this lava, and it believed that Mercer should be grateful for this instead of leaving and returning again and again like this.

The volcano itself was its territory, and it was merciful enough for him to allow others to get close to it, but the purpose of doing so was just to hope that Mercer could stay here to recover from his injuries.

——Feeling its emotions, Mercer understood the arrogance and anger of the other party. According to its temper, it was indeed kind enough, but Mercer did not expect that the Red Phoenix would always pay attention to all this while recovering its strength, instead of entering a deep sleep. middle.

The red phoenix chirped again and looked down at Mercer, his eyes filled with lofty emotions.

It said that it could give Mercer one last chance. As long as he could stay in the magma, it would not take into account what Mercer had done before.

Hearing this, Mercer sighed, raised his head and roared.

——I'm sorry, I can't do it.

Mercer first clearly showed what he meant, and then showed his introspective attitude.

Mercer has no reason and will not make the relationship with it too rigid. At least when he can talk about it, he will not actively provoke Hong Huang's emotions.

However, Red Phoenix remained unyielding, with the same arrogance in his eyes as before, unabashedly opposing Mercer's behavior.

"Wow!"

It will not forget the defeat in the past, so it brought Mercer here not only to make up for the shame of the failure, but also to thank Mercer for helping it escape and wake up.

But if Mercer is ungrateful and has repeatedly rushed around for those humans, which has reached the limit of Red Phoenix's patience, then Red Phoenix might as well stuff Mercer into the lava while his injuries have not fully recovered, and use force to force Mercer to recover. Injury, and another fight later, it won't care what Mercer wants to do after that.

Don't care about anything...

Hearing this information from the cries of the red phoenix, Moshe frowned and suddenly had a plan in mind.

Chapter 2: Discussion

"Roar."

Mercer raised his head and let out a quiet growl.

He made a "fight" sound in a peaceful tone, indicating that it could start a fight now.If Mercer loses, he will stay in the magma and will not leave until he recovers from his injuries; but if he wins, Red Phoenix can no longer object to Mercer's stay, and it must Do yourself a favor.

This looks like an unequal agreement. No matter whether he wins or loses, Honghuang will get nothing... No, if Honghuang wins, he might also get some vanity.

But after hearing Mercer's answer, Red Phoenix still showed an arrogant look and was not moved at all.

It even asked Mercer, allowing it to be used as a joke as long as Mercer retracted the statement.

Judging from the arrogant and arrogant mood, it could not imagine that it would lose.

Facing Mercer, who was always observing its situation, he gradually felt relieved.

It seems that you really can't treat it with the same thoughts as facing humans. Hong Huang's intelligence is not low, but his ideas are very straightforward. In this case, it doesn't matter if it is a little excessive.

——Are you afraid?

Mercer let out a provocative growl.

Regarding the gap in strength between himself and Red Phoenix, Mercer did not have similar glasses that could see combat power, so he had no idea about it.

But Mercer doesn't care much about winning or losing. Even if he returns from defeat, he still has some room for detours - with the help of black mist, Mercer can monitor other people's work from a long distance. It doesn't matter even if he doesn't leave the magma. What to do next Things are a bit troublesome at best, but at least they have disadvantages and advantages.

Upon hearing this voice, the red phoenix suddenly opened its eyes wide and let out a sharp cry.

It took over the battle on the spot, staring at Mercer closely, and the temperature around it rose sharply.

However, at this moment, Mercer interrupted it, looked aside, and let out a low growl.

——You can’t fight freely here. Come with me.

After that, he spread his wings and flew in another direction.

Leaving the snowfield and passing through the forest, there is a basin formed by mountains, which is very suitable for fighting.

He flapped his wings and flew quickly through the air.

From behind, Hong Huang followed without saying a word. His eyes were already sharp. Even if Mercer didn't feel anything, he could still feel the sharp dagger-like gaze from the opponent.

Glancing back, Mercer continued to flap his wings and speed up his flight.

He wanted to use this method to test Hong Phoenix's current strength.

However, sensing Mercer's provocation, Red Phoenix also spread its wings suddenly, its speed continued to increase, and it surpassed Mercer in an instant. As it passed by, it did not forget to turn around and give Mercer a mocking look.

so fast...

Mercer looked at its back and felt surprised.

At least as long as he has grown, no one except Hong Huang has ever been able to surpass him in flying speed.

Mercer speculated that even if he restored his wings and took off this heavy armor, he would not be able to catch up with the current Red Phoenix.

But apart from that, there are other things that can be said. The red phoenix's body is gracefully streamlined. When its body flies in the air, it can be said that it cuts the air like a sharp knife; but Mercer is completely different. The gnarled muscles and armor all over his body fully reflected the unparalleled sense of power. Rather than a sharp knife, it was more like a missile streaking through the air.

——Although Mercer didn't know whether the Red Phoenix's body, which could change the weather, followed the muscle structure of living things.

Mercer stared at the back of the red phoenix flying while silently thinking in his heart.

But the red phoenix still flew around regardless, looking back and calling out mockingly from time to time.

......

Not long after, Mercer and Hong Huang came to the basin and looked at each other.

Even now, Red Phoenix still maintains its pride.

He even expressed his message to Mercer - Red Phoenix allowed Mercer to surrender in the middle of the battle.

Mercer didn't express this, but just darkened his face and released black mist around him.

Seeing this, the red phoenix flapped its wings in the air. After the atmosphere was quiet for a while, it took the initiative to rush forward and let out a loud cry.

"Wow!"

In the blink of an eye, the red phoenix arrived in front of Mercer, its fiery red feathers trembling on its body, automatically falling off and stabbing Mercer.

At the same time, the sharp claws of its lower limbs grabbed Mercer's waist, and the gaps in the armor provided a lot of help for this behavior.

——When he originally designed the armor, Gulu took into account the flexibility of Mercer's body and provided larger gaps in specific parts of the armor, because even the diameter of a cannonball could not be shot into the gaps, so it was safe enough. At the same time, these gaps also make it easier for Mercer to release the black mist.

Only this time, these gaps actually helped Red Phoenix. While it was fixed on Mercer's body, its sharp beak also attacked Mercer.

In response to these attacks, Mercer did not dodge at all and took them forcefully.

The feathers pierced the armor, causing a violent explosion, but did not cause any damage to Mercer's body. The sharp beak also pierced Mercer's faceplate, only making a crisp knocking sound.

It's very strong... but it doesn't seem to be bigger than me.

Feeling the damage from this blow, Mercer decisively fought back.

He grabbed Hong Huang's wings and bit his neck directly with his mouth.

The thick feathers could not withstand Mercer's fangs, and his body was instantly pierced by Mercer.

The red phoenix struggled in panic, but at this moment, it discovered that the gap held by its sharp claws had closed with Mercer's movements, clamping its sharp claws to delay time.

Even if its sharp claws broke free at the next moment, the opportunity to escape was missed.

Hot blood poured into Mercer's throat, and he could even see green smoke flowing out of his mouth with his eyes, which was probably the gas from the burnt mouth.

He tore hard, flapped his wings with brute force, swung the red phoenix's body, and slammed it to the ground.

boom!

The moment Hong Huang's body hit the ground, cracks spread out in the surrounding ground, which were so deep that it seemed as if the earth was about to break into pieces.

Then, Mercer flapped his wings, swooped down from the air, and slapped Red Phoenix's head with a giant claw.

Seeing this scene, Hong Huang's pupils shrank, thinking of the blow that almost killed him when he was still in madness. He immediately spread his wings and pushed his body against the ground to fly to the other side.

But when Mercer's giant claws hit the ground, the cracks in the basin became violent again, and in less than a few minutes, the original appearance was no longer visible.

Seeing that his shot was in vain, Mercer continued to pursue. He turned his head and spit out a fireball at the red phoenix. However, this time, the red phoenix also opened its sharp beak and spit out a fireball, which met in the air. Collide.

--boom!

Two fireballs exploded in the air, and the blazing flames spread around with heat waves.

Chapter 211: Flame Tornado

On the surrounding grass swept by the heat wave, flames ignited automatically, making the temperature around the two even hotter.

Honghuang glanced at his neck. The wound on it healed quickly, and it was back to normal in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the fear in its eyes suddenly disappeared. It puffed up its chest and looked at Mercer in front of it, and let out a mocking cry:

--That's it?

The next moment, Mercer flew towards him, but Red Phoenix quickly dodged it. He flapped his wings in the air and spit out a fireball.

boom!

The fireball exploded powerfully when it hit Mercer. The wind and waves caused by the explosion caused waves of vibrations. Mercer keenly felt that the vibrations seemed to directly penetrate the armor and hurt his body.

The damage of this blow was very small, only causing slight bleeding, but it also told Mercer a message that the Nirvana Stone Armor could not block all damage, and it would be detrimental to him to resist blindly.

But fortunately, Mercer's recovery ability is not weak. After ignoring the damage caused by this blow, he suddenly turned around and flicked his tail. The sharp tail blade directly swept the red phoenix's body, sending it flying far away. There was only a trace of burning blood left on the blade.

... Its feathers have a defensive effect against cutting damage, but they can be used to perform miraculous effects when used with thrusts.Looking at Hong Huang's wounds, Mercer made an estimate in his mind.

The feathers on its chest fell, and a wound appeared in it, and began to close slowly.

--That's it?

Mercer tried to stir up its emotions, and fed back to it the words he had told Mercer before.

Anger appeared in the red phoenix's eyes. It spread its wings and flapped rapidly. The flying feathers shot towards Mercer and hit Mercer, causing an explosion.

Its power seems to have no end in sight, as it keeps regenerating feathers and shooting them out.

A large number of flying feathers fell on Mercer and the surrounding ground, making deafening roars, turning the land into scorched black and exploding huge craters.
