Chapter 33: Flames of the Sky and the Dragon’s Frost
This man is using fifth-level magic, equivalent to the intermediate tier of Spirit Birth.
He launched multiple fireballs at Mia and me.
The sudden explosions shook the surrounding trees as we flew through the sky.
He kept hurling fireballs at us relentlessly.
The sky was lit with countless fireballs, making the scene terrifying. Had we remained on the ground, we would have been grilled dragons.
Suddenly, the old man vanished.
All that remained was a fleeting mirage.
“Enough, little dragon,” the old man said.
Less than ten seconds later, he reappeared, standing high in the sky.
Could he really fly?
He was 400 meters above the ground!
This meant he had fully reached fifth-level mastery!
The next moment, the sky suddenly filled with blazing arrows.
Ssssss…skritch!
Ssssss…skritch!
Ssssss…skritch!
They all shot straight at Mia and me!
We couldn’t completely dodge them.
My dragon scales screeched as the arrows struck, and after a moment, the impact shattered some of them.
“Submit now, and perhaps I’ll make your death painless,” the old man said.
I met him with the same fiery blaze, while Mia attacked with the Cold Flame from a different angle.
“Little dragon, let me show you a glimpse of true magic,” the old man said.
Suddenly, a blinding light spread across the sky.
It grew hotter and hotter, becoming almost unbearably scorching within moments.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Then, a massive fireball appeared in the sky, large enough to incinerate everything in its path!
I sensed the danger.
This was… the greatest threat I had faced since the Vampire Ancestors’ Court.
Yet, I was not afraid to confront this fireball head-on.
My body and Mia’s had been strengthened with Emperor-level Body Enhancement Pills, and our bloodline had been elevated to the Emperor tier, greatly boosting our physical strength. Any attack at this level would only cause non-lethal injuries.
Moreover, we were red dragons! We bathe in blazing volcanoes, and fire-based attacks lose much of their potency against our natural fire resistance.
At this moment, the fireball shone as bright as the sun.
Its emitted light was so intense that those a thousand miles away could see it.
The originally dark sky turned white, as if it were daytime, under the blinding light.
This power… it was utterly terrifying!
Suddenly, a flash, and the massive fireball plummeted from the sky.
The ground trembled, and everything in its path began to melt.
It was horrifying… as expected from fifth-level magic!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three minutes later, the effect of the fireball finally ended.
The old man was stunned at this moment, shock evident in his eyes.
That was because I had stood my ground! Blood from scorched dragon scales covered me, but the injuries weren’t serious, and the same went for Mia.
“How is this possible?!” the old man cried out.
At that moment, his hair gradually turned red. Simultaneously, flames engulfed his body.
His aura had increased once again!
Suddenly, he broke through and reached the sixth level!
“You’ve forced my hand… and you will pay the price!”
He had consumed his life force to temporarily reach the sixth level!
Without waiting for his attack, I opened my mouth and struck him with the Cold Flame!
At the same time, Mia attacked with her tail, slicing off his left leg!
“Ahhh!”
The old man screamed in pain, completely unprepared for Mia and me to strike simultaneously at that exact moment!
The Cold Flame froze his body and sealed the mana inside him, leaving him unable to dodge Mia’s tail, which severed his leg.
Her energy remained frozen for several seconds…
This is one of the properties of the Cold Sun and Moon Flame!
It is extremely useful in such critical situations!
Although the old man’s strength had been enhanced by burning his life force, thanks to the Cold Sun and Moon Flame, his chances of winning were still uncertain!
At that moment, the old man shouted, “I am already consuming my life force! By any means, I will drag you down with me!”
He let out a powerful roar and then shot toward me at incredible speed!
I had no idea what he intended, but I did not wait for him to reach me. I flew away, yet he continued to pursue me across the forest sky.
The wind whistled past my ears.
I hadn’t formed an alliance with Mia. Although her combat abilities were still formidable, it was better to deceive the enemy and make him forget her presence, so she could launch a sudden, deadly strike.
Mia, hidden among the clouds, watched from a distance, a deep concern evident in her eyes.
On the ground, there was a hidden figure.
I had noticed this person as soon as he entered the battlefield, which was why I had initiated this chase.
With this person present, victory was certain.
This old man… was doomed to die here.
During the chase, the old man began casting terrifying magical spells.
Woosh!
In an instant, a black lightning bolt, sharp as a blade, pierced the old man’s body as he was busy chasing Clare, scattering his blood like a red flower blown across the sky by the wind.
The old man gasped and looked at the attacker.
It was… an ancient black serpent, with a spear-like head, capable of piercing the world and destroying the strongest weapons!
That’s right—the one who attacked the old man was the ancient serpent!
It was no longer an ordinary snake after consuming the Emperor-level Marrow Cleansing and Blood Purification Pills. It had awakened the bloodline of the Black Serpent Clan, capable of piercing the world!
Its form had changed, becoming a black serpent, dark as ink, with a spear-like head capable of penetrating anything in the world!
After consuming the supreme body-enhancing pills, it had gained a permanent and substantial boost to its physical strength.
This ancient serpent was no longer something anyone could bully.
The old man, a fifth-level cultivator? He was no match. If it wished, it could have killed him with a single strike of its tail.
Meanwhile, the old man’s body fell from the sky, his eyes wide open… but it was merely a lifeless corpse.
At that moment, Clare wasted no time.
She descended onto the old man’s body, then severed his head, ending his life.
Afterward, she searched the corpse and found a storage pendant.
It could store the ring obtained from the Vampire Ancestors!
Without hesitation, she hung it around her neck.
Then, she headed toward where the ancient serpent and Mia were.
Clare felt a sense of pride, and yet she had found something interesting in the old man’s body.
In fact, this fifth-level old man had been a significant character in the story that follows the William narrative…
