He raised his head, his facial muscles twitching constantly. The flames in his throat radiated a fiery light, illuminating his entire skin from the inside out. A terrifying heat erupted through the cracks in his phosphorus armor, vaporizing the surrounding snowy fields the moment it came into contact with them—"I'll pounce on you!"

With a low roar, and then in front of Kailurel's incredulous gaze, a pair of dragon wings spread out from the scorching air wave, and the storm it stirred up caused the wind and snow in the sky to pause for a moment, and then rolled back towards the sky.

Unlike before, this time, Faan had learned his lesson. Unlike during the siege, he didn't forcefully embed the tail of the Dragon Slayer into the Fire Dragon's body. Instead, he used the Dragon Slayer's dragon transformation to strengthen the Fire Dragon's lower limbs from within, and generated a large number of heat dissipation glands on its spine.

Power burst out, and the leg muscles that were comparable to the hind legs of a Collapsing Dragon burst out with terrible power under the promotion of life energy. From bottom to top, accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar, Faan, who had transformed into a giant dragon, pounced towards Kailurel, who had not yet recovered.

Rumble, rumble! !

The two huge bodies collided with each other. Although it was the body of a fire dragon, the minerals in its phosphorus armor increased sharply after being strengthened by the dragon slaying. This made Fane's fire dragon scales appear slightly dark blue, and also improved its defense performance several times.

With the clanging of metal, the unprepared Kailureel was slammed directly against the side of the mountain wall. A large number of ice fragments the size of horn houses broke off from the cliff edge of the valley and fell on Kailureel like meteors, then turned into a large amount of icy dust. Those that fell on Faen were directly vaporized into steaming clouds!

206

Chapter 206 People are happy.

Looking at Fane who had knocked him to the ground, Kalurel's eyes were full of disbelief.

And Faan was not in a hurry to attack, but growled: "Come on, the battle officially begins!!"

Hearing this, after a brief moment of shock, a glimmer of excitement flashed in Kailuer's eyes. He then said, unwilling to be outdone, "Alright! Then I'll show you the true gap between us!"

As he spoke, Kalurel struggled to stand. But Faan wouldn't give him the chance. The sharp claws on his hind legs, strengthened by the Dragon Slayer, tore at Kalurel's body, leaving their marks on his flawless, white True Ice physique. Kalurel didn't waste any time. Sensing the threat emanating from Faan, his subconscious fighting instincts took full control. Relying on the indestructible True Ice body, he swung his head, and his massive horns viciously struck Faan.

With his wings vibrating, Fane rose into the sky the moment he was attacked, avoiding the big horns and returning to his home turf in the sky.

As the wind pressure spread, Fane's body became taller, and a fiery red light shone between the gaps of the blue-green dragon scales. The mad dragon factor was secreted, and dark lines were densely coiled around the muscles under the phosphorus armor.

Pushed to its limit, Faan's already enormous wings seemed to expand even further. With a sudden flap, the dragon-crushing slime mixed with the blazing gusts of wind, forming a roaring storm like divine wrath, leaving devastation and shattering ice wherever it passed.

Suddenly, the ice deer stomped its front paws onto the ground, and a sword-like iceberg rose from the ground, piercing through everything. As fast as lightning, it dispersed Faan's exploding heat cloud. The sharp iceberg also stabbed towards Faan in the sky. Kailureel couldn't fly, but she knew the sword of ice cliffs.

Gazing at the iceberg that seemed poised to pierce the sky, Faan's body was filled with heat. His broad wings, enhanced by the Mad Dragon Factor, displayed astonishing flexibility. A crackling sound echoed from the tips of his wings. This indiscriminate slime mold, as it exploded, dramatically increased Faan's mid-air maneuverability.

As a price, Fane's scales flew everywhere, but he swung around the iceberg like a falcon, and with a single swing, his sharp claws cut through the cold air, as if he wanted to tear apart Kelurel's huge horns.

Kailurel didn't flinch. His icy eyes, nearly two meters in diameter, were filled with noble pride. He let out a silent roar, and a violent icy shockwave spread outward from Kailurel's body. Almost instantly, the storm grew even more violent. From the distant cliffs, countless huge hunks of pure ice fell, smashing towards Fane like meteorites.

The dragon's intuition allowed Faen to sense danger coming from all directions. The massive body shifted from a dive to a deft dodge. The moment it dodged, several icicles flew past Faen's original flight path. With a roar of ice, the collisions turned the ice into flying fragments.

Even though it didn't hit, the shattering of the True Ice caused by the collision still caused a large amount of overflowing cold air to make Fane's fiery fire dragon body feel cold for a moment as if it was frozen.

Having dodged this terrifying blow, Faan didn't relax, nor did he show fear. Instead, as he deftly dodged the dense anti-aircraft fire, his chest glowed with heat. He jerked his head, and the flammable biological fluid in his fire bag was released in large quantities. The heat ignited the moment it erupted, and like liquid fireballs with the elasticity and power of napalm, they burst through the air.

There was no dodging. For Kalureel, her most daunting challenge wasn't anything else but her True Ice form, blessed by Anivia herself. It was still True Ice, but how could Anivia's True Ice compare to ordinary True Ice? Ornn could silently dig a grave with Kalureel's impact, but even if Kalureel stood motionless in the city, no one could truly harm her.

Look, the flames were right in the middle, but these exploding molten liquid balls had just attached to Kailurel's body. The next moment, a cold wind blew, and the flames were forcibly frozen. Then he shook his body slightly, and the frozen flames shattered along with the ice dust.

But before Kailureel could sneer, he sensed something strange within the icy dust that scattered around him. Encased within the solution, the Dragon-Smashing Slime Mold hadn't lost its vitality due to freezing. Instead, it had ceased growth during the process, entering hibernation. Now, as the icy dust shattered, the Mad Dragon Factor, already heavily attached at the outset of its secretion, began to intensify the slime mold's activity, rapidly ending its hibernation as it dispersed.

Rumble, rumble, rumble! ! !

Continuous roars erupted from all sides of Kailureel. This level of explosion was clearly insufficient to harm Kailureel's body—it couldn't even penetrate his outermost defenses. This formidable True Ice body didn't reduce damage by percentage, but directly. If the damage reduction wasn't achieved, no matter how intense the attack, the final damage would still be 0.

Even so, the True Ice Valley wasn't entirely covered in True Ice. Just as he was thinking about it, the ice beneath Kailureel's feet was already collapsing with a continuous roar. But maintaining his integrity, Kailureel didn't panic. Instead, he felt excited because for the first time, he had encountered someone who could evenly match him.

With a flick of his head, a gust of cold wind blew away the surrounding icy dust. A pair of massive horns gleamed in the storm, and two icy eyes were filled with the battle frenzy of a lifetime.

"You mortal! You really make me happy!!"

Seeing the nearly unscathed Kailuer, a hint of solemnity flashed across Fane's dragon eyes. Even so, Fane didn't show the slightest sign of discouragement. Instead, he roared as he dove, "Leer, eat my book!"

As he spoke, the Door Grimoire, summoned by Faun, beneath the dastardly cat, wasted no time. The pages closed, revealing a ram's cover wrapped around the book, forming layers of magical inscriptions. Accompanied by spitting molten fire, the eight horns emerged with roaring rams, expanding continuously, like a sharp axe or a guillotine, falling from the sky with the blazing heat of primordial fire!

Feeling the power, even Kalurel couldn't help but feel a little panicked, but after feeling the breath of Ornn, the panic was quickly replaced by anger.

"Bone Thief!!"

207

Chapter 207: Slash.

Feeling the breath of his mother on the book cover, Kailurel, who had originally only felt a slight pleasure in fighting, immediately entered the red temperature state.

There was a low roar, and then the surrounding ice surface rioted, and icebergs stood up and stabbed towards Fane in the sky.

While powerful, Faan could more or less grasp it. Kalureel herself lacked much combat experience—perhaps directly related to her role as a guard in True Ice Valley. At least, in the past, Kalureel's only enemies besides Ornn were Lissandra, and both Ornn and Lissandra fought with the goal of stealing a little True Ice and then running away.

A battle like this one, where there is a gap in strength but the gap is not that big, is the first time for Kailurel since its birth.

With agility and evasion, Fane repeatedly shuttled through the gaps between the icebergs. Meanwhile, the grimoire wrapped in ram's cover that fell from the sky produced considerable destructive power.

The tome itself didn't change much, but the expanded cover resembled a guillotine a hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide. It slashed down from the air. Kalurel could have easily dodged it, but instead, he leaped up in anger and charged fiercely with his icy horns.

Click! !

The ice horn collided with the energy-wrought ram. As a gift meticulously crafted by Ornn, this book cover was clearly more than meets the eye. While all powerful weapons require a powerful carrier to unleash their true power, the grimoire itself, while lacking in combat power, could mobilize a power far beyond that of ordinary magical creatures, rivaling even a demigod.

After noticing the Ice Deer's counterattack, the Grimoire within the outline of the book cover also looked at the pages and found a spiritual realm filled with a large amount of energy. As the portal opened, a large amount of energy rushed out from it and was injected into the book cover with astonishing efficiency.

The book cover, which originally had only an outline, was instantly filled with energy and covered with various rune carvings. The rams on the eight horns spewed molten fire, causing Kalurel, who was still struggling with the book cover, to be knocked away in pain.

Struggling to get up from the ground, a massive ice crack appeared visibly on Kalurel's horn. This powerful blow surprised not only Faun, but even the attacking grimoire. The leaves fluttered, as if saying, "So powerful? Really?!"

"Can it still be started?!"

Faan growled. Dragons in Monster Hunter World, at least non-forbidden ancient dragons like Fire Dragon, didn't have a dragon language. In situations like this, emotions were usually conveyed through pheromones. But for someone familiar with the spiritual realm, it wasn't difficult to discern the meaning of Faan's voice from the emotional fluctuations.

As the pages of the magic book turned, Yuumi translated: "You can activate it once more! If you do it again, the reverse transmission will damage the pages!"

"enough!"

After hearing the Demonic Codex's answer, Fane's eyes flashed with surprise, and he immediately shouted, "Lock on her! One more time! Don't worry too much, I'll take care of it!"

Upon hearing this, the Demonic Scripture quickly rose into the sky and once again opened the reverse portal in the energy field.

Down below, staring intently at Fane and the Grimoire, Kalurel's voice rose in the hearts of the man, the book, and the cat: "Today I will tear this rotten book of Orne into pieces!!"

I also saw Kailureer's front hooves leap high, then land heavily. At the moment of its landing, a faint light emanated from between the horns of its head.

Invisible energy rushed in all directions. If before, Kailureer was only controlling the surrounding True Ice to fight, now, Kailureer gave people the feeling of completely merging with this land.

The entire Zhenbing Valley seemed to come alive, the Zhenbing surged, and the invisible anger was directly manifested at this moment. The surging ice turned into a huge ice bird and rose into the sky, accompanied by an elegant and sharp cry. The frost in the sky paused for a moment, and the next moment the ice bird turned into an ice-blue afterimage and flew towards the ram falling from the sky.

The Grimoire wasted no time, pouring vast amounts of energy into its cover. The already incredibly solid energy image, enhanced by the energy field, grew even clearer, like a stone tablet stretching across the sky. The ram on its horns roared. Blazing flames swept across the surroundings, and at the moment of collision, ice cracked and fire splashed!

But unlike last time, Kailuerer, having used all his true strength, roared, and the book cover that stretched across the sky was directly shattered. And the remaining strength was—empty!

Noticing that Fane's figure had disappeared, Kalurel was startled, then quickly forced himself to calm down and looked around for Fane's figure.

When he reached the top, Fane continued to catalyze the mad dragon factor in his body to carry out short-term transformation of his own body - completely different from the evolution of species in nature, this time Fane did not consider balance, but tried his best to make his body burst out all its strength in the shortest time.

With a flap of his wings, he fell vertically from the sky. The ever-increasing speed turned Fan into a swift afterimage in the wind and snow.

Hearing the shaking of the storm, Kalurel immediately spotted Fane's figure, and then suddenly looked up at the sky.

After noticing Faan flying towards him, Carolerle also let out a low roar: "You actually used Ornn's weapon—then I will also let you know the wrath of the daughter of Anivia!!"

With a step of his right hoof, a majestic iceberg rose from Kailurel's side. However, his concentration and perception had been stretched to their limits. Faan knew that if he dodged, the continuity of his power would be disrupted, thus rendering the final blow useless. Therefore, Faan not only did not dodge or slow down, but even vibrated his wings again.

A blast of hot air roared, and a large amount of Dragonbreaker's slime mold activated and exploded, forming a terrifying blast of hot air. Just when Kailurel thought that Faan would be blown away by the iceberg in the next moment, or even pierced through.

Suddenly, Fan disappeared—no, not disappeared!

Staring intently at the sky, the fire dragon, its wings flapping constantly, vanished, replaced by Faan's muscular form. The instantaneous shrinkage allowed Faan to narrowly avoid Kalurel's attack. Immediately afterwards, it transformed again. This time, the fire dragon that appeared before his eyes was completely different from before.

Its upper body was skinny and shrunken, and its wings were shrunken beyond recognition. Instead, its lower limbs and tail were so thick that they accounted for three-quarters of its total weight and length.

His feet landed on the oncoming iceberg. With the help of huge force, Fane kicked hard, and the sudden increase in speed made Fane attack Kailurel straight.

The gap in the ground, the entrance of the giant tail, the back molars filled with minerals bit the tail tip tightly - the steel blade was sharpened!

The moment it approached Kailurel, the slime mold exploded, and it twisted its body with a teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking. The molten fire was blazing, and the dragon-slaying tail blade turned into a scorching red thread!

208

Chapter 208 What kind of entry should this be?

Without any fancy moves, with a powerful tail swing, all the kinetic energy of Fane's body was concentrated at the end of the blade tail along with the whip effect.

The rough blade tail broke through the air, and almost immediately, there was a sound of muscles around Fane breaking due to overload.

Due to the intensification of the Mad Dragon Factor, these flesh and blood were designed almost from the moment of biological transformation to be disposable killing weapons. This allowed these muscles to withstand accelerations several times their normal speed, but as a price, they would immediately collapse after completing the acceleration.

And now, accompanied by a huge spinning of air blades in the form of a dragon—clang!!!

As an arc of light rose, the dragon-slaying tail blade shattered in mid-air the next moment, and with a swirling arc of light, it penetrated into the ice layer on the side.

Elsewhere, struck hard by the blow, Kailureel's body, pulled by its head, crashed into the ice. As ice dust scatters, a fragment of a massive horn flies into the air like a severed tail from a faun, landing on the ground and emitting a dense chill. Glancing at Kailureel standing nearby, his body was covered in numerous scratches compared to before. But the most striking feature was the pair of massive horns atop his head.

During the previous attack by the Door Magic Book, a crack had appeared on the horn. Now, with a powerful and heavy slash, Fane actually severed the horn directly along the crack...

Meanwhile, Kailuerer, pushing himself up from the hole he had created in the ice wall and regaining his balance, was also stunned for a moment, seemingly taking a while to accept the fact of his defeat.

Then he looked at Fain with a complicated look and said, "You win..."

"Did you win?"

Upon hearing this, Faen exhaled a breath of foul air and emerged from his dragon transformation. Before he lost strength, he retrieved a large amount of recovery potion from his system space and tossed it into his mouth. As the life energy within the potion began to take effect, Faen's body, already severely depleted from the forced dragon slaying, began to rapidly recover. Soon, his breathing had stabilized, avoiding the risk of passing out on the spot.

With Faen's current abilities, Essence-level Dragon Slayer Transformation only involves transforming a portion of a dragon's scales, muscles, or small organs. Transforming the entire lower body, as just now, is something only the Essence-level Dragon Transformation can master.

Forcing oneself to transform into a dragon would cause a consumption of dozens of times of physical strength, and could even leave severe sequelae - however, the sequelae would be fine as long as they were treated promptly, which was why Fan took a large amount of medicine immediately.

Now, upon hearing Kalurel's words, Fane didn't relax, but instead glanced at the grimoire beside him. Although seemingly unresponsive, the grimoire had already flipped the page to the path leading to Orn's forge hall. If anything went wrong, there was no problem, whether he called for help or simply fled.

Kalurel seemed relaxed about this.

"Tell your friend the Grimoire to not be so nervous. I am the descendant of Anivia and I will not go back on my word."

Kailurel's voice echoed from the depths of Fane's heart: "My power is superior to yours, and this is my home turf. Yet, you still managed to sever one of my horns... No matter how you look at it, I lose... Humph."

Although he claimed defeat, Kailuerer was still clearly unconvinced. He couldn't help but snort softly, saying, "Consider this horn my reward! The True Ice I possess is truly unmatched by ordinary True Ice, and Orn's craftsmanship wouldn't waste such precious materials."

It can only be said that Kailurel was overthinking it, because after hearing that Kailurel was willing to give the broken ice horn to him, Fane was already prepared to recycle it in exchange for evolution points.

*NND, the two hunting lords and Volibear exchanged their consciousness for two ancient dragon-level talents in an instant, and now he is hunting a literal wilderness demigod head-on... Although he didn't kill the other party, he also got the other party's recognition and was given a big horn.

This reward can't be lower than the two higher-level items, right?!

Just as Faan was still thinking excitedly, noticing the excitement in Faan's eyes, Kalurel tilted his head and said, "You seem... a little excited? What's the matter? Does getting my recognition make you so happy?"

"Haha, of course. After all, you are the descendant of Anivia, a powerful demigod of the wilderness~"

People are in high spirits when happy events happen, especially since Kailuer is so generous, Fan naturally wouldn't mind saying some auspicious words.

But Kailuerel clearly enjoyed it, nodding with satisfaction. The annoyance he felt about having his horn severed seemed to have faded somewhat, and he said with pride, "Not bad. After all, I'm much younger than those ancient demigods of the wilderness. It's thanks to my mother that I'm even at the forefront."

It sounds modest, but in fact it is secretly showing off, such as "If I were the same age as them, I would definitely be more powerful."

"Hmm...you still look a little weak? Do you want me to heal you?"

"Can True Ice Magic still be used for healing?"

Fain looked a little surprised.

"Of course!"

Kailurel said proudly: "True Ice Magic is an extension of the power of hope, and of course it has the ability to heal. Like my mother, no matter how many times she was killed, as long as hope remained, she could be reborn again and again!"

"I see... Thank you for your help then."

Fane seemed very calm, but he was also a little curious about how the ice magic could heal injuries.

Hearing Faan's words, Kalurel nodded beside him, then gently stamped his right forefoot on the ground, and Faan was quickly frozen in a wave of True Ice. This prompted the nearby Grimoire to immediately open a portal, but before it could pull Faan in, Faan's voice rang out: "Wait! Grimoire, don't be nervous."

Hearing this, the Demonic Codex paused suspiciously, then circled around Fane, as if trying to find out how the voice came from Fane who was frozen in the ice.

While in the middle of the soldiers, Fan could clearly feel a large amount of ice energy being injected into his body.

This feeling is completely different from the warmth brought by Yuumi's protective magic. It is cool, but it does not make people feel uncomfortable. Instead, it is inexplicably refreshing.

Similar to Lissandra's ultimate being used on herself? Making herself untargetable while also dealing area damage and healing—just like freezing herself inside with the hardness of True Ice, it's perfectly possible for a mortal to be indestructible.

But compared to the little blood that Lissandra recovered through her ultimate, Faan recovered in just a few minutes in Celebiel's refrigerator.
