Chapter 214: Searching for the Holy Dragon (Part Three)
Two beasts, equivalent to Ninth-Level Summoner Beasts, stood before him. The power of the Fire Armored Dragon was undeniable; its skin radiated intense heat, enough to make professionals wary. And beside it was a Frost Lizard, renowned for its freezing spells. To put it bluntly, these were two armored mages in beast form.
As Ye Huan pondered whether Barrett could penetrate the thick hides of the Fire Armored Dragon and Frost Lizard, he felt an urge to slay these Eighth-Level Magical Beasts to obtain their inner cores and rapidly enhance his strength. However, after a moment of hesitation, he chose reason over impulse. To avoid attracting more high-level magical beasts, he decided against hunting them and instead led Ye Luo behind a large tree, hoping to wait for the two Eighth-Level Magical Beasts to engage in battle so he could reap the benefits.
As Ye Huan had anticipated, the Fire Armored Dragon and Frost Lizard had come here drawn by each other's presence. After an initial standoff, he watched as both Eighth-Level Magical Beasts, towering nearly five meters high, suddenly became blurs and charged toward where Ye Huan had just stood. He was startled and thought to himself how fortunate he was to have moved in time; otherwise, being caught between these two beasts would have meant becoming a victim of Ice and Fire Duality.
Perhaps to validate Ye Huan's speculation, when the Fire Armored Dragon and Frost Lizard finally collided, a fierce gust of wind erupted from their point of contact, creating a ten-meter diameter shockwave. One half was scorching hot while the other half was frigidly cold. The combination felt like being trapped in a microwave on a snowy day.
"Achoo! Achoo! They're just two Eighth-Level Magical Beasts; is all this commotion really necessary?"
Despite his exceptional physique, Ye Huan found himself struggling against the temperature. He sneezed repeatedly while fanning himself with his hand, muttering under his breath.
Beside him, Ye Luo was shivering uncontrollably, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. After hearing Ye Huan's words, he stammered through chattering teeth, "Young Master, don't underestimate the Fire Armored Dragon and Frost Lizard. Individually, either one might not be a match for many Ninth-Level Practitioners, but facing both at once? I dare say no professional could survive their combined assault..."
"Why is that?"
Ye Huan turned his head in surprise at Ye Luo's words. Curiosity piqued, he asked for clarification. It only dawned on him after speaking that the combined lethality of two beasts with opposing attributes was far greater than simple addition.
Noticing Ye Huan's expression, Ye Luo seemed to read his thoughts and nodded slightly. Just then, a tremendous roar drew their attention back to the two Eighth-Level Magical Beasts. At some point during their initial clash, they had retreated to opposite sides and opened their mouths wide. They unleashed dazzling spells—massive fireballs and enormous ice blocks—creating thunderous sounds as they collided.
It seemed that they sensed they were being watched; each spell cast by the Fire Armored Dragon and Frost Lizard appeared increasingly powerful with every utterance. The booming sounds echoed as trees fell around them. Consequently, both Ye Huan and Ye Luo retreated further back until they could see the bright red flames enveloping the Fire Armored Dragon in the darkness. The visual spectacle rivaled that of a battle between two Ninth-Level Warriors.
Ye Luo shared Ye Huan's sentiment; he too felt that the spells exchanged between these two beasts were growing more formidable. His gaze fixated on the Fire Armored Dragon as he noticed its flames becoming even more vibrant and flickering wildly in the dark.
According to the known habits of many magical beasts, Ye Luo suddenly recalled that the intensity of the flames on the Fire Armored Dragon represented the strength of its spells. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the Fire Armored Dragon would be fighting for its life against the Frost Lizard. In a panic, Ye Luo rushed to Ye Huan and exclaimed, "This is bad! Quickly, Young Master, we need to get further away. The Fire Armored Dragon seems ready to fight for real!"
Fight for real?
Glancing in the direction of the Fire Armored Dragon, and motivated by a desire not to waste the Eighth-Level Monster Core, Ye Huan did not follow Ye Luo's advice. Instead, he summoned a Riot Shield and instructed Ye Luo, "Ye Butler, you should leave first! I'm going to take a chance..."
"This..."
Shocked, Ye Luo turned his gaze toward Ye Huan. His steps halted as he clearly worried about Ye Huan's safety. He seemed about to say something more, but when Ye Huan heard Ye Luo's voice so close, he hurriedly interrupted him, saying, "Ye Butler, go! I'm strong enough; I'll be fine."
"Alright, just be careful, Young Master. I'll stay about thirty meters away from here."
Knowing Ye Huan's strength and realizing that his presence would not only be unhelpful but could also hinder Ye Huan, Ye Luo steeled himself and after saying a few words, dashed off into the distance.
As soon as Ye Luo disappeared from sight, Ye Huan felt relieved of any worries and quickly made his way toward the location of the Fire Armored Dragon and the Frost Lizard.
After advancing more than ten meters, before Ye Huan could get any closer, the Fire Armored Dragon erupted in flames that shone like the blazing sun overhead. The intense light forced Ye Huan to shut his eyes and shield his body behind the Riot Shield.
Boom!
A wave of heat surged forth; within a thirty-meter radius around the Fire Armored Dragon, all the trees ignited violently. Unfortunately for Ye Huan, he stood about twenty-five meters away from the Fire Armored Dragon. Even his Riot Shield could not withstand the onslaught of heat; it melted almost instantly under the extreme temperature. The scorching heat turned his skin red and caused blisters to form in many vulnerable spots.
"It hurts..."
Raising his head again and feeling the searing pain on his body, Ye Huan had no time to examine his injuries. He turned his gaze toward where the Fire Armored Dragon had been standing and was astonished to see that it had completely vanished. The only thing left behind was a Crimson-sized Beast Inner Pill.
Although he didn't understand why the Fire Armored Dragon had chosen such a self-destructive method to end the battle, with the Beast Inner Pill present, Ye Huan certainly wouldn't hesitate. Ignoring the blisters covering his body, he quickly rushed toward the Fire Armored Dragon's Beast Inner Pill.
He closed in little by little... ten meters, five meters, three meters... one meter!
At the moment Ye Huan reached out a hand towards the Beast Inner Pill, a flash of white light surged through the air, and he was suddenly knocked back. With numerous burn blisters covering his body, he barely managed to steady himself upon landing, the pain shooting through him like fire. He glared angrily ahead...
"Frost Lizard? Not dead?"
Seeing the Frost Lizard, an Eighth-Level Magical Beast measuring over five meters in length—equivalent to a Ninth-Level Summoner Beast—Ye Huan gasped in shock. To him, it was astonishing that the Frost Lizard could escape the Fire Armored Dragon's attack from such close proximity.
As if to answer Ye Huan's confusion, a cracking sound echoed as a thin layer of ice shattered on the Frost Lizard's surface, revealing its true form.
Like the Fire Armored Dragon, the Frost Lizard, also an Eighth-Level Magical Beast, had a protective layer similar to the flames surrounding the Fire Armored Dragon. This protection was ice—the chilling frost capable of freezing everything! Perhaps it was this innate icy armor that allowed the Frost Lizard to survive in such dire circumstances.
Understanding everything now, when Ye Huan saw the Frost Lizard without its icy armor, his first reaction was to pull out an M60 general-purpose machine gun from his Spatial Ring. However, due to the earlier attack from the Frost Lizard, he was horrified to discover that a faint layer of ice had formed on his limbs, completely freezing them. He watched helplessly as the M60 fell from his grasp onto the ground with a dull thud.
A burnt smell wafted through the air. Across from Ye Huan, the Frost Lizard seemed to sense his predicament and opened its mouth once more, clearly intending to attack this unexpected intruder!
Seeing a pale blue orb of light forming in the Frost Lizard's mouth, Ye Huan knew it was at least an Eighth-Level Ice Spell. Not only would being hit while completely defenseless be disastrous, but even if he were unharmed physically, he would never make the foolish decision to take a magical attack head-on.
In a moment of desperation, without hesitation, Ye Huan struggled with all his might. However, with his limbs frozen by ice, he collapsed onto the ground. The bullets from the M60 he had been carrying scattered around him, two of them landing right next to his hand.
Frantically sweeping his hands across the ground in an attempt to fend off the Frost Lizard's attack, Ye Huan's fingers brushed against one of the M60's bullets. An idea for a counterattack quickly formed in his mind just as the icy orb in the Frost Lizard's mouth was ready to launch...
