Chapter 454 Battle of Two Monsters
Shocking!
Extremely shocking!
Watching Greem transform from a flesh and blood human to a monster of magma and fire from a close distance sent shocks right to the depths of the soul; it was a surprising sensation of awe that was hard to quell. However, the genuinely eye-catching bit wasn’t the Flame Fiend itself, but the ferocious wind dragon that Greem had summoned from the golem core.
It was a strange dragon that was nineteen meters long from head to tail! Its wingspan was ten meters wide!
Its body was neither intangible nor tangible, but somewhere in between. A layer of light green, semi-translucent scales covered the surface of its body. The somewhat empty-looking body appeared to be unexpectedly tough. Through the thick scales, one could see that the wind dragon’s flesh and bones weren’t actually physical constructs. Instead, they were masses of rapidly flowing wind vortices.
It possessed protruding and well-defined bones across its body, where wicked bone spikes stuck out from head to tail. They gleamed with a chilling light. The green dragon lifted its sinister head pridefully. A light shone in its eyes as it moved around. When it opened its mouth, one could see a small thunderstorm forming in its throat.
The wind dragon had a massive pair of wings on its back. It had slender front limbs and thick, muscular hind legs. Its claws were powerful with sharp, threatening nails.
The wind dragon he rode was practically a counter to all flying beings.
Apart from some of the magical creatures who excelled at flight, any other being would pale in comparison to the wind dragon; they seemed so much more clumsy and sluggish when compared to it. They could only watch with dazed eyes as the enemy maneuvered around them with the agility of a fish in water.
Compared to the blood knights, the wind dragon was like part of the air itself. They couldn’t track its next movement when it flew in the air. It could perform all sorts of unthinkable actions in flight, despite its gigantic body. One couldn’t even believe their own eyes.
It was this agile and swift trait of the dragon that left Greem free to turn into the most overbearing cannon in the world. Magma Fireballs crashed towards the blood knights from several different directions, trailing black smoke as they flew across the sky. The fireballs threw the knights into disarray, sending them flying everywhere in a desperate attempt to dodge the attacks. The blood knights were no longer able to repeat the savage attacks they had accomplished during their initial charge.
It couldn’t be helped. The wind dragon’s speed advantage was far too pronounced in the air. The wind dragon was utterly rolling over the three blood knights.
It didn’t matter how strong the attacks of the blood knights were, or how ferocious their advances were. It was all for nothing if they couldn’t keep up with the wind dragon!
Back in the Knight’s Plane, Greem had to be careful whenever he dealt with a radiant knight, fearful that a slight slip up would spell his death. However, now, Greem appeared to be calm and collected, even when facing three blood knights.
Of course, there was the factor of the plane suppression’s effect on the blood knights. But most of it was a demonstration of Greem’s personal growth.
Mary let out a crisp battle cry when she saw her subordinates being beaten around by Greem. Her wings shook, and an afterimage drew across the sky. She turned into a red silhouette and dashed onto the battlefield.
Greem, who was casually chasing the blood knights on his wind dragon, was immediately alerted when he heard Mary’s outcry. He hastily commanded the wind dragon to dodge. However, the wind dragon didn’t have time to do so. It moved three meters away when Greem’s Lava Shield shattered in a flurry of crimson strikes.
Mary, having obtained her planar feedback, had improved by leaps and bounds. Her bodily attributes had far exceeded the range of a veteran adept and had entered the level of an elite adept.
Her sixteen points of Agility made it almost impossible for an ordinary adept to catch sight of her. Her Strength, which had once been a weak point of hers, had now become enhanced by her high Agility. Her attacks were both fast and powerful. Mary successfully destroyed Greem’s Lava Shield by striking seven times as she passed by the wind dragon.
Greem still had several layers of Fire Shields around him, but those shields were meant for defense against elementium attacks. They possessed inferior physical defense when compared to the Lava Shield. Greem was terrified. He immediately moved the Lava Shield at the back of his body forward to temporarily protect his critical spots.
The Flame Fiend’s elementium body didn’t possess a vital spot that would cause death when hit. However, there were key nodes in his body that, when damaged, would significantly affect the efficiency of his elementium circulation.
That would indirectly decrease Greem’s combat ability!
Mary opened her wings and flew away after her successful attack, flicking away the lava on her hand as she did so. Her smooth, white right hand had now turned black as charcoal. The surface layer of the skin had completely carbonized.
Mary let out a cold snort as blood energy gathered in her right hand. Her severely burnt skin that had lost all signs of life rapidly peeled off, revealing the quickly regenerating bright red flesh beneath.
The two opponents passed by each other in the air. The gazes they cast at each other betrayed shock and cautiousness.
Clearly, their combat prowess had exceeded each other’s expectations.
The scales of the battle once again returned to equilibrium!
