Chapter 347 Gorsas: Mad Fire? Mine!
"Phase two? Interesting... No wonder he can be ranked alongside me as a map king, he's definitely not an ordinary character."
A fiery glint flashed in Hong Tielong's eyes.
The powerful presence of the Amethyst Lion King did not frighten him; instead, it excited him even more.
Immediately, the red iron dragon's wings flapped violently, and it swooped down towards the transformed amethyst lion king.
The moment the dragon claw and the lion claw collided in mid-air, the red iron dragon clearly felt the surging power within the other's body.
At this moment, the power level of the Amethyst Lion King subtly surpassed his normal level.
"Since that's the case..."
Galos's mind raced, and he no longer held back.
Energetic state, open!
Crackling sounds filled the air as dazzling golden lightning bolts burst forth from the gaps in his scales, swirling and dancing like living things.
Red Iron Dragon's body expanded again at a visible speed, its bulging muscles bulged further, the power flowing within its body increased steadily, and its physical attributes surged across the board at this moment.
Sizzle!
His speed increased dramatically, and he became more agile. He nimbly dodged the attack of the Amethyst Lion King, which was wrapped in purple flames, with a backward leap, while twisting his waist sharply.
His dragon tail tore through the air, lashing the Amethyst Lion King's side with unstoppable speed.
Bang!
Before the Amethyst Lion King could react, its massive body was sent flying by an irresistible force, tracing a beautiful parabola as it plummeted rapidly into the depths of the Echo Rift.
Only then did the piercing scream of the terrifying tail strike tearing through the air finally spread.
Without pausing, the red iron dragon spread its wings fully, its massive body soaring into the sky, drawing a sharp arc as it plunged into the ravine, closely following the falling lion king.
Bottom of the rift valley.
In the deep crater formed by the impact, the Amethyst Lion King shook its somewhat dazed head and struggled to its feet.
Seeing the red iron dragon charging towards them.
It suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a bright purple light shone from deep within its throat.
Immediately afterwards, a highly condensed energy breath, seemingly composed of countless purple crystals, burst forth.
This is a breath attack from the Amethyst Dragon. Once it comes into contact with a target, it will trigger a violent explosion, causing devastating physical and psychological energy damage.
Almost at the same time, Red Iron Dragon opened its mouth and inhaled.
Crimson flames and leaping golden lightning surged and converged in his throat, transforming into a blazing and violent dragon's breath of fire and lightning, which met the Lion King's amethyst breath without flinching.
Rumble—!
Two torrents of energy collided violently in mid-air, triggering a deafening explosion.
The shockwave spread out suddenly in a ring, causing the mountain walls on both sides of the rift valley to shake violently and groan incessantly. Countless boulders, unable to bear the weight, crumbled and tumbled, as if a rain of stones had fallen.
The next second.
The red iron dragon, its body radiating golden lightning and dragon energy, tore through the area where flames, lightning, and spiritual energy were still clashing, and like a meteorite from outer space, it crashed down on the amethyst lion king at the bottom of the pit with unstoppable force.
Bang!
Just as the Amethyst Lion King recovered from the intense energy clash, his vision was enveloped by a massive shadow.
Its neck was firmly gripped by a scorching dragon claw, and its entire body was slammed into the ground by a brute force. Accompanied by a teeth-grinding grinding sound, it plowed a deep trench tens of meters long into the ground, and finally crashed violently into the mountain wall behind it, embedding itself in it.
Red Iron Dragon raised its four incredibly thick arms high.
The next moment, an attack, imbued with lightning and fire and pure physical force, poured down like a storm.
In its haste, the Amethyst Lion King hastily condensed a layer of crystal-clear yet exceptionally tough amethyst armor on its body in an attempt to defend itself.
However, with each heavy blow, the mountain wall trembled violently under the strain, constantly caved inward, and soil and rocks flew everywhere.
The figures of the dragon and the lion gradually sank deeper into the crater created by the impact.
A few seconds later, the Amethyst Lion King, having withstood the painful blows, managed to calm his shaken mind.
—Psionic Step!
Its body instantly blurred, turning into a dissipating afterimage, breaking free from the Red Iron Dragon's death grip, and its true form appeared on the open ground at the bottom of the valley a hundred meters away.
Its previously formed amethyst armor has completely shattered and disappeared.
Even with the weakening effects of defensive skills and damage transfer, its body still suffered countless new wounds, and the originally raging purple flames became much dimmer and thinner, its aura severely weakened.
boom!
Rocks shattered, and the Red Iron Dragon burst forth from the collapsed mountain cave with unparalleled power, once again standing majestically in the Purple Crystal Lion King's sight, surrounded by golden lightning and dragon aura, its might even surpassing that of the past.
"Do you have any other trump cards? Use them all."
Red Iron Dragon spoke calmly, but received no verbal response.
"Possessing such high intelligence yet unable to speak? Perhaps it's because they've never learned the languages of other races."
A thought flashed through his mind, and his gaze gradually sharpened as he locked onto his opponent.
On the other side, the Amethyst Lion King, whose condition was clearly not good, still let out an indomitable roar.
A purple crystal that had been floating among its mane suddenly fell, then disintegrated, turning into a pure psychic light that quickly merged into the body of the Amethyst Lion King.
Its external injuries did not show much improvement, but its weak psionic energy fluctuations became vigorous again.
collapse!
The ground beneath its feet collapsed and shattered from the impact of the dragon, but the figure of the Amethyst Lion King had already vanished from the spot.
Red Iron Dragon raised its head, its gaze piercing through the swirling dust, locking onto the Amethyst Lion King, whose body was once again radiating surging spiritual energy and attempting to distance itself.
With a flap of his dragon wings, creating a deafening sonic boom, he once again pursued the enemy at a terrifying speed.
After suffering heavy losses in close combat, the Amethyst Lion King changed its tactics and stopped confronting the Red Iron Dragon head-on.
It began to unleash various mental skills at an extremely high frequency—Mind Blast, Psionic Lash, Mental Shackles…—to interfere and strike from a distance, while simultaneously using psionic strides to continuously perform short-range blinks, pulling the kite with extreme force.
Whenever one's own psionic energy diminishes due to frequent spellcasting.
It will not hesitate to consume one of the amethyst crystals floating on its body to replenish its psionic energy, and then repeat the process.
"Is this guy trying to wage a war of attrition?"
After a few minutes of intense chase and confrontation, Galos roughly understood the Amethyst Lion King's intentions.
Perhaps it believed that its current explosive state of excitement could not be maintained for long, so it relied on the accompanying amethysts that could quickly restore its psionic energy to prepare for a protracted battle, betting that it would fall into weakness after its state ended, at which point it would be the moment to counterattack and win.
The idea itself is good, and there's nothing wrong with the choice.
Unfortunately, its opponent was Galus, and its judgment was completely wrong.
"These amethyst crystals on its body seem to be some kind of treasure that condenses highly pure spiritual energy... But I remember that pure-blooded amethyst dragons don't seem to possess this skill. Could it be a special talent that comes from hybridization?"
Galos's gaze swept over the remaining amethyst on the Lion King's body as he pondered.
For him, the once highly effective Fairy Dragon Scale Powder had developed resistance due to long-term use, and its effect on improving his mental strength had become minimal, causing his mental growth rate to lag behind his physical growth.
This amethyst lion king might bring him a surprise.
boom!
With a flap of its wings, the red iron dragon unleashed a sonic boom cloud, once again exuding a suffocating sense of oppression as it charged straight at the constantly flashing amethyst lion king, forcing it to continue expending its spiritual energy and amethyst crystals to evade and counterattack.
Then, as time passed, the amethyst crystals floating on the Lion King's body decreased and were consumed one by one.
Its gaze gradually shifted from initial composure to anxiety and unease.
Until he had only two or three amethyst crystals left on his body.
Gazing at the red iron dragon in the distance, its muscles bulging, its golden thunderous aura still blazing and boiling, showing no sign of weakness, it began to deeply doubt its own combat experience and knowledge accumulated over countless years, and to doubt Lion Life itself.
This outburst... how could it possibly last this long?!
It's fake!
However, harsh reality gave it the most truthful answer.
It tried to escape, to get completely away from the seemingly tireless dragon monster.
The problem is that while its short-range psionic strides give it the ability to engage in close combat, they don't allow it to match the Red Iron Dragon in terms of absolute flight speed.
Not long after.
With another invisible cracking sound, the Lion King's hastily constructed mental barrier was torn apart by the Red Iron Dragon's pure power, and its spiritual energy plummeted to the bottom once again.
At this moment, only one lonely amethyst crystal remained suspended on its body, emitting a faint light.
In contrast, Red Iron Dragon was still surrounded by crackling lightning and surging dragon energy, showing no signs of weakness. Maintaining his current state was as simple and natural to him as breathing.
final.
The Amethyst Lion King stopped its pointless escape and landed on the ravaged valley floor.
Faced with the red iron dragon charging at top speed again, it no longer dodged. Instead, its limbs went limp, its massive body collapsed, and it lowered its head deeply. At the same time, it opened its mouth and uttered clear and fluent dragon language, its voice filled with exhaustion and fear.
"I surrender, noble and mighty dragon, please put away your wrath."
"I am willing to submit to you and offer my loyalty."
Bang!
The red-hot iron dragon landed with a thud, its heavy footsteps kicking up a cloud of dust.
A giant claw covered in blazing scales pressed down on the head of the Amethyst Lion King. The latter offered no resistance, becoming as docile as a house cat, a far cry from its previous arrogance and ferocity.
"So you can talk."
Galos lifted the massive head of the Amethyst Lion King, his dragon eyes scrutinizing it closely, and asked, "Why did you pretend not to understand the language before? Why did you feign deafness and muteness?"
The Amethyst Lion King lowered its head in shame, its voice barely audible:
"Because I feel that being taciturn and communicating only by roaring adds...adds a more imposing and fierce demeanor."
Galos: "…………"
A two-second silence fell over the area; the Lion King's reasoning left him speechless.
"Let's restore it."
Red Iron Dragon released its claws, its tone calm yet undeniably assertive: "I still prefer your previous unruly self."
The Amethyst Lion King's expression turned solemn. He immediately raised his head and let out a deep, majestic roar, regaining his domineering aura as the Map King.
As you wish
It no longer uses dragon language, but instead employs mental skills to directly transmit the general meaning contained in its roar to the minds of the surrounding creatures.
With the submission of the Amethyst Lion King, the battle for the map king came to an end.
Soon after, the lion pride, which was already on the verge of collapse and suffering repeated defeats under the Iron Legion's offensive, stopped resisting and prostrated themselves on the ground after learning of the king's defeat and will.
Splash!
At the same time, the first raindrop, which had been brewing in the sky for a long time, finally fell, followed by a torrential downpour.
The raindrops, thick and heavy, rapidly washed over the warriors' armor, cold weapons, and the congealed blood on their sharp teeth and claws, forming countless winding red streams on the ground.
The dragons circled high in the cloud-covered sky, letting out triumphant roars.
The pride of lions lay prostrate in the mud, signifying submission.
The war between the two map kings ultimately ended in victory for the Iron King.
at the same time.
The Sel Wilderness, a central region also shrouded in heavy clouds and torrential rain.
A massive red dragon, its scales as vibrant as blood and its body exceptionally large, glanced with disgust at the gloomy sky.
The rain that fell on him was instantly evaporated by the extreme heat emanating from his body, forming a swirling, rising white steam that made him feel as if he were in a furnace.
Around him lay enormous, torn and charred corpses, the stench of blood lingering even in the heavy rain.
"Map King? Such a weakling dares to call himself a king?"
The red dragon Gorsas let out a disdainful snort, extended its sharp claws, and easily twisted off the charred head of a giant leader that was still twitching at its feet. It casually tossed the head into its mouth, and the sound of its teeth opening and closing was chilling.
"Only I, Gorsas, am qualified to be the sole ruler of the wilderness, the sole king."
Slowly, as the battle ended and the cold rain washed over him, a rare look of contemplation appeared in the red dragon's eyes.
Recently, his henchmen have brought some fragmented and vague messages.
It seems that the mention of "mad fire" was made.
"Madfire. If a new Madfire truly appears in this wilderness, it must belong to me! And can only belong to me!"
A violent light flashed in the red dragon's eyes.
He never believed that his power came entirely from the Mad Fire.
But this is his distinctive characteristic, his unique trait. Therefore, he regards Mad Fire as a forbidden possession that should not be coveted and does not want to see it appear in any other creature.
Because the information they heard was too fragmented and vague, Gorsas still doesn't know exactly where the suspected madness is located.
But he was too lazy to distinguish between true and false information, and even less willing to spend his energy thinking deeply about it; his muddled mind couldn't come up with any good ideas.
then.
The powerful red dragon thrashed its bone-spiky tail with increasing agitation, its destructive desires rising once more.
He decided to destroy something else, to please himself with wails and flames.
Finally, he suddenly flapped his enormous wings, and the terrifying heat instantly evaporated the rain around him. Carrying endless violence, he charged towards the base of a kingdom from his memories.
P.S.: I'm out of steam, please vote for me!
