Chapter 242 Wild Dragon
The night on the banks of the raging river was as dark as ink, and the red iron dragon stretched out its huge wings and four ferocious dragon arms.
The surrounding river was boiling and churning, and the earth was riddled with deep pits and cracks. The surviving sorcerers and shamans stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with terror.
"These dragon-energy arms provide a direct boost to my current abilities."
"Most importantly, based on the Star Self Incarnation, I can better cultivate other paths in the future."
As Garros felt the power feedback from his newly formed dragon energy arm, a thoughtful glint flashed in his black dragon eyes.
He moved his four arms slightly, sparks flying as the scales rubbed together, sketching out his future battle form in his mind—a colossal body with five heads and ten arms, each dragon head containing different elemental power through the mysteries of the Four Symbols, like the incarnation of the legendary immortal dragon queen.
If combined with the exquisite techniques of Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), this incredibly powerful dragon body will surely unleash earth-shattering combat power.
roar!
A deafening roar interrupted Galos's thoughts.
The orc Ugosh was covered in blood, his eagle wings flapping wildly as he charged forward once more. The totem patterns on his skin writhed as if alive, and the madness in his eyes was almost tangible.
"act recklessly."
With a flap of his wings, Garus's rugged and ferocious body rose into the air and charged toward the orc leader.
The four dragon arms erupted simultaneously, their dense afterimages tearing through the air, instantly sealing off all possible spaces for Ugosh to dodge from different directions.
The orc chieftain, a barbarian, could only see Garoth's arm with the naked eye.
However, his instincts were sharp. Although he couldn't see it with the naked eye, he could sense the presence of the dragon's arm through the howling and undulating airflow.
The spirit of the savage bear roared to the sky behind him.
A pair of thick bear arms stretched out and clashed head-on with the red iron dragon.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a series of rapid, muffled collisions, an invisible shockwave erupted from the two objects, radiating outwards like a strong wind and causing waves to rise on the river surface.
The soul of a savage bear enveloping the body of an orc.
His chest, arms, and head rapidly collapsed, as if they had been smashed apart.
However, the barbarian of the Totem Warrior path is more durable than the Ancestral Guardian. When his Bear Soul can no longer hold, his aura suddenly changes, transforming into a beast soul dominated by a giant wolf, making him agile.
When the Giant Wolf Soul failed, it was replaced by the extremely fast Eagle Soul.
After that, although it was somewhat dimmed, the repaired Soul of the Wild Bear pulled through again.
Ugosh has fused with three beast souls at the same time. Fighting him is like fighting three monster lords simultaneously. Moreover, these three monster lords are one entity, cooperating with each other and taking turns to fight, showing great resilience.
Orcs are better suited to the Barbarian class than humans.
Ugosh was now acting like a madman, roaring and howling. Even though he was completely overwhelmed by the Red Iron Dragon and covered in blood, he showed no fear whatsoever. He fought to the death, like an unkillable cockroach.
"His resilience is truly extraordinary. Since that's the case, then let's destroy his beast soul with one strike."
Red Iron Dragon was quick-witted and didn't want to drag things out with the orc chieftain any longer. Such a powerful and easily irrational creature was difficult to control and manage, so there was no need to subdue him; killing him directly was the best option.
Buzz!
Level 4 Dragon Qi Circulation!
Four arms merged!
Enhanced Claw Strike!
In an instant, the massive black and red dragon aura arm pressed tightly against Garos's arm, merging inch by inch. Garos's dragon arm instantly swelled up, becoming thick and long like a engorged sponge. Its muscles bulged high under the triple stimulation of dragon aura, surging lightning, and blood bursting technique, and even the sturdy dragon scales cracked.
die!
The red iron dragon roared and unleashed its pent-up power upon the berserk orc.
His attack range decreased, but its intensity suddenly increased.
The arm that the Soul of the Savage Bear received shattered instantly, as fragile as glass. The giant claw of the Red Iron Dragon was unimpeded and slammed down on the Soul of the Savage Bear.
collapse!
Sparks of light scattered everywhere.
Ugosh's bear spirit was brutally shattered and completely destroyed.
Then came the souls of the giant wolf and the eagle, which shattered upon contact with Garos's deadly attack, which was imbued with triple power, and ceased to exist.
With the totem beast soul, the core of his power, destroyed, the barbarian was struck as if by lightning, and his aura plummeted.
Even so, Ugosh still did not regain consciousness.
"kill!"
A hoarse roar escaped his throat as he opened his mouth wide and, like a wild beast, bit directly at Garos's arm. His protruding fangs collided with the dragon scales, sparks flying.
Red Iron Dragon flicked his arm, knocking the orc away, then grabbed him and crushed him to death in an instant.
At this moment, the night wind howled past, and the raging river stirred up waves.
The lightning, dragon energy, and blood patterns on Garos's body gradually dissipated, and his body returned to normal, except that his chest continued to rise and fall, and he was breathing heavily and hotly.
Two tribal leaders, a group of elites, a double anti-air formation set up in advance, warlocks and shamans.
This kind of situation would have meant certain death for any other teenager, with no chance of survival.
Even for Garus, such an intense battle had taken a toll on him. Fighting against multiple opponents was a dangerous process, and now that the battle had stopped, he immediately felt pain and exhaustion all over his body.
Galos is not afraid of battles that put him in danger, but he will not deliberately pursue them either.
Therefore, although he possessed great power, he chose to avoid the two leaders in the early stages of the war, instead launching surprise attacks to kill other high-ranking leaders, gradually eroding their overall strength.
Looking back now.
If those high-ranking leaders hadn't been killed by him beforehand and had participated in the siege, Garos would probably have used the Gladiator's Array. Of course, if it weren't for his outstanding performance in raiding important strongholds, the two tribes wouldn't have paid such attention, and the war would have gone in a different direction, and there might not have been a chance to siege Garos.
But in any case.
His cautious approach once again allowed Galos to survive to the end with minimal losses.
"The Barbarian's Fury and Berserk are pretty good skills."
Garros thought to himself as his gaze swept over the barbarian's corpse.
He had some ideas about the Barbarian's core skills.
In the Dragon Clan's heritage, there is a special profession developed from the Barbarian path—the Wild Dragon.
Many dragons choose the Wild Path, with the majority being the irritable and naturally easily angered red dragons. This is because once they become Wild Dragons, anger will no longer be just a negative emotion, but will be transformed into a source of energy, giving Wild Dragons a continuous source of power.
When choosing his major, Garos considered Wild Dragon.
However, after careful consideration, he ultimately chose to major in Martial Dragon.
Berserk and Fury, these two core skills both come at the cost of sacrificing reason. Intelligent beings in this state are completely oblivious to the world around them, completely immersed in the desire to fight. The result is either you die or I die, leaving no room for retreat.
However, despite their major flaws, the sheer power of these two skills is undeniable, making Garoth somewhat covetous of them.
Wild Dragon and Eternal Dragon are a good match. Even if you don't dare to use them casually in normal times, you can keep them as a trump card and use them to turn the tide when you encounter a life-or-death crisis.
The problem is...
Becoming a Wild Dragon is not easy; like becoming a Fighting Dragon, it has basic requirements.
Just as the Fighting Dragon needs a life-or-death battle to awaken its dragon aura, the Wild Dragon needs to experience a profound and unforgettable rage to awaken its power of fury and obtain the medium to transform its fury into energy.
Galus frequently struggles with his emotions.
Rage, fury. Such emotions rarely appear in him. Even when he was forced into a dangerous situation by the Dragon Hunting Group, his mind remained completely calm and rational. He controlled his power with reason and did not let anger affect him.
For Garos, the requirements for becoming a Wild Dragon were more difficult than a life-or-death battle.
"Let nature take its course. Life is long, there will always be opportunities."
"Stories of young prodigies do not belong to dragons."
Hong Tielong thought to himself.
Those ancient dragons, unless they were as lazy as Gorton, all of them who managed to live to the level of an ancient dragon had cultivated countless other paths at the same time.
Even if the level of his secondary skills is not very high, the variety of his skills and techniques is unfathomable, and even the Ancient White Dragon should not be underestimated.
Long lifespan is a unique advantage for dragons.
There's no need to do everything when you're young.
Composing himself, Red Iron Dragon turned to look at the warlocks and shamans on both sides of the riverbank.
"Those who stand will die, those who kneel will live."
He spoke calmly, his voice as cold as iron.
Upon hearing this, the warlocks and shamans on both sides of the river trembled and knelt down, while most of the stubborn ones were quickly turned to ashes by the dragon's breath.
The Battle of the Raging River came to an end, and the prelude to the Ironforge Tribe's dominance over the border region was thus begun.
