Chapter 203 Hitting me is like hitting yourself, new organ
The chimera, which was eating, suddenly stopped.
Its three heads swayed in the night, sniffing constantly, its different colored eyes looking in all directions, and it nervously spread its wings.
Chimeras have an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
It smelled danger.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, just as the body of a chimera had obscured the cave lion's vision. It raised its head and saw a majestic dragon with silver light shimmering on its black scales.
"Chimera, a lowly subspecies."
"Kneel down!"
Hong Tielong's deep, thunderous voice boomed from his mouth.
Chimeras appear deformed and ugly to dragons, devoid of any beauty; calling them 'ugly chimeras' would be more fitting.
However, this chimera is quite powerful. If it can be tamed, the Ironforge tribe will gain a formidable warrior.
Galos inherited the pragmatism that belonged to the Iron Dragons.
He didn't mind the chimera's appearance and was willing to give it the chance to submit to him.
"Get out of my territory!"
Chimera uttered some mumbled, indistinct dragon language.
It is a semi-intelligent life form similar to the Earth Bear, possessing some intelligence, but not much.
The three heads stared intently at the red iron dragon, their eyes burning with fighting spirit. There was no fear in their eyes; instead, they were eager and ready to fight.
Whoosh—it flapped its wings and its enormous body soared into the air.
Instead of running away, they charged at me.
"How foolish."
Garros's dragon wings tore through the clouds as it swooped down, its Cold Scales rubbing against the air at high speed, absorbing heat.
The three chimeras roared in unison.
The red dragon head in the center opened its mouth wide, flames surged between its crisscrossing fangs, and a blazing pillar of fire spewed out from its throat.
Facing the oncoming fiery breath, the Red Iron Dragon neither dodged nor avoided it.
boom!
His strong body withstood the fiery breath, parting it and closing in on the chimera inch by inch.
The flames that could melt earth and stone and melt steel into liquid fell on him, but only caused his scales to turn slightly red and crack.
Garus has very high fire resistance.
This damage is negligible.
After realizing that its fiery breath was almost ineffective, the Chimera decisively stopped its pointless waste of energy, raised its claws, and charged towards the Red Iron Dragon.
The moment of approaching.
Galos' right wing unfurled, its blade-like wings tearing through the air as it slashed toward the red dragon head of the Chimera.
Chimera sensed the danger of death and dared not fight back. The red dragon head hurriedly withdrew to dodge, while the lion head opened its mouth wide and bit at the wing membrane with sharp teeth.
Unexpectedly, Galos deftly deflected to the right wing, the tip of his spear piercing towards the lion's head.
Tear!
Although the chimera reacted quickly, turning its head to the side immediately, its lion-headed face was still grazed by the dragon's wing, leaving a deep gash that exposed bone and was covered in blood.
roar!
The lion's head let out a powerful roar, and its mane flew wildly.
The invisible yet tangible roar of the lion spread out at close range, instantly striking the Red Iron Dragon and causing it to freeze and enter a state of dizziness.
The chimera's claws slammed down, striking the red iron dragon's neck.
Clang! Claws collided with scales and thorns, sparks flew, and a chill burst from between the shattered scales, landing on the chimera's claws and forming a layer of frost. The broken thorns were hard and sharp, piercing into its flesh.
The chimera let out a painful howl.
With this attack, Garus only shook his neck slightly, and the cold-damaged scales on his neck cracked and dented in a minor way, while the chimera suffered from the cold air and the damage from the thorns.
Enraged, it did not back down with its other raised claw, but struck the red iron dragon's chest heavily.
clang!
Sparks and thorns shot out simultaneously, and the cold air seeped through the bloody holes pierced by the thorns, causing the fire-attribute chimera to feel the pain of cold needles piercing its flesh.
Two claw strikes.
The one that got hit was the Red Iron Dragon, but the one that got injured was the Chimera.
About a second later, Galos broke free from the dizziness.
Level 3 Dragon Qi Circulation!
Enhanced Claw Strike!
Black and red energy swirled around the dragon claws, its attack speed skyrocketing. With lightning speed, it bypassed the chimera's defenses and pierced directly into the chimera's chest and abdomen, tearing through flesh and snapping bones.
Chimera roared and stomped, its goat hooves scraping against the dragon's belly scales, sending sparks flying.
Its power is immense.
The red iron dragon tore off a large chunk of flesh and retreated, simultaneously tensing its tail muscles. The scales on both sides of the tail bulged and collided, coalescing into a giant, red-hot blade, and a spear-like structure popped out from the tip of its tail.
Level 3 Dragon Qi Circulation!
Enhanced Tail Strike!
The dragon's aura surged and flowed.
The dragon's tail swept with lightning speed and a tricky angle, creating a fiery red afterimage.
Pfft!
After a moment of hesitation, the enormous lion's head shot into the sky, the flesh and blood on the broken neck charred black as if it had been roasted by flames, without a single drop of blood flowing out.
Chimera was struck as if by lightning, its body trembled violently, and its dragon head and goat head let out a howl at the same time.
The severed head completely enraged the beast.
Its eyes were bloodshot, its last shred of reason consumed by pain and rage.
"Mwah!" Its goat head opened its mouth and emitted a strange, heavy sound, like some kind of inexplicable incantation. Then, dark purple veins bulged from its body and wriggled like living things. Its body swelled up, and its skin seemed to be filled with tar. With the pumping of its heart, its whole body expanded several times.
No wonder it's a monster lord that has been able to linger in the southwest for so long.
This guy has powerful skills that ordinary chimeras don't possess; he's extremely powerful.
At this moment, the Chimera seemed to have entered a berserk state, with its speed and strength amplified. It roared and attacked from both sides with its two heads, using its claws and hooves to engage in a fierce close battle with the Red Iron Dragon.
The barrage of attacks rained down on the Red Iron Dragon, causing its Cold Explosion Scales to crack one by one.
The biting cold air spread and surged around the body, and the chimera at close range was the first to be hit. Its body was covered with a layer of ice crystals, which shattered with the movement of its body, and then reformed, in an endless cycle.
It is constantly exposed to the cold, making it sluggish.
Red Iron Dragon's counterattack was swift and unaffected by the cold.
He was fierce and ruthless; every time he struck, his weapon-like parts left huge gashes on the chimera's body. In the blink of an eye, the chimera was covered in blood, with terrible wounds that were deep enough to expose the bone.
At the same time, Galus could clearly feel the heat energy accumulating and rising within his body.
"I seem to be able to enhance my breath even without accumulating it to the limit."
Because of the limited intensity of the battle, Garus was able to spare some attention to strategize even during the fierce fighting.
The first time the heat energy accumulated, it wasn't very noticeable, but this time, upon careful observation, he felt that he indeed had an additional organ inside his body that stored heat energy, a structure resembling a jade plate.
When he concentrates his mind on this, the heat energy accumulated within begins to boil and flow out to other places.
In an instant.
Even without being attacked, the Cold Explosion Scales on the Red Iron Dragon's body cracked on their own, causing high temperatures to rise and turn a brandy red color.
Like red-hot iron.
Rolling heat waves escaped from the cracks and gaps in the scales, clashing with the lingering chill, steaming up thick smoke that twisted and tumbled along with the heat waves.
The beasts on Sword Cliff trembled and collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way.
Whether herbivores or carnivorous beasts, they all seemed to have their hearts gripped by an invisible hand, and dared not move.
"If you hold your breath and don't use it to intensify your breathing, the heat will dissipate quickly in this way."
Galos felt hot all over and carefully sensed his physical condition.
The heatwave spread outwards, creating an extremely high-temperature zone, but each second of release reduced the heat value, weakening the power of the subsequent breath attack.
"To maximize the power of this strike, it needs to be delivered immediately, and the timing must be perfect."
Hong Tielong pondered to himself.
Across from them, under the influence of a terrifying sense of crisis, the Chimera's gaze suddenly became clear.
It let out a terrified roar, flapped its wings, and began to flee, dragging its wounded body away from the Red Iron Dragon.
Unfortunately, it made the wrong choice.
If it begs for mercy and chooses to submit and pledge allegiance, it may have a chance to live; but if it tries to escape, death is the only outcome.
Galos's gaze fell on the Chimera.
He opened his dragon mouth, flames surging between his fangs, and then transformed into a devastating crimson pillar of light, igniting the sky and turning it into a sea of fire wherever it passed, sweeping towards the Chimera with an inexhaustible and unstoppable force.
If it were the Chimera in its prime.
It was able to avoid this particularly conspicuous and powerful attack by choosing to flee immediately.
But now, it was covered and devoured by the extended fiery dragon breath, and stopped struggling after two or three seconds.
Whew—Garos exhaled.
The scales on his body gradually returned to their normal color.
When the dragon's breath dissipated, the chimera's body had vanished without a trace, leaving no trace of its remains, turning into ashes and dust.
A wild monster lord who had dominated this place for many years has now ceased to exist.
