A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 465: Chapter 345: Gorsas: Madfire? Mine!

”Second stage? Interesting... No wonder you can be on par with me as the Map King, you’re indeed not a common character.”

A hint of fervor flashed in Red Iron Dragon’s eyes.

Instead of being intimidated by the formidable stance of the Purple Crystal Lion King, he became even more excited.

Immediately, Red Iron Dragon’s wings suddenly vibrated, diving towards the transformed Purple Crystal Lion King.

At the instant Dragon Claw and Lion Claw collided in mid-air, Red Iron Dragon clearly felt the surging and overwhelming power within the opponent.

At that moment, the power level of the Purple Crystal Lion King faintly surpassed his usual state.

”In that case...”

Galos’ thoughts raced, no longer holding back.

Exhilaration Mode, activate!

Crackle! Brilliant golden lightning burst forth from the gaps in his scale armor, swirling and soaring like living creatures.

Red Iron Dragon’s body expanded visibly again, his knotted muscles further swelling, the rushing power within him climbing step by step, with all his physical attributes soaring at this moment.

Fizz!

His speed surged, becoming sharper, nimbly dodging the Purple Crystal Lion King’s charge wrapped in violet flame, while his waist twisted sharply.

His dragon tail tore through the air, striking the flank of Purple Crystal Lion King with an unavoidable speed,

Bam!

Purple Crystal Lion King hardly had time to react, its massive body was instantly whipped away by a force impossible to resist, tracing an elegant arc, and rapidly plummeting towards the depths of the Echo Rift.

Only then did the piercing shriek of the terrifying tail strike tearing through the air begin to spread slowly.

Without the slightest pause, Red Iron Dragon spread his dragon wings wide, his enormous body shot straight into the sky, drawing a piercing arc, chasing the falling Lion King as he swooped into the rift.

At the bottom of the rift.

In the deep pit formed by the impact, Purple Crystal Lion King shook its somewhat dazed head, struggling to stand up.

Seeing the charging Red Iron Dragon.

It suddenly opened its huge mouth, violet light burst from deep in its throat.

Next, highly concentrated energy breath composed seemingly of countless purple crystals burst forth.

This belongs to the Purple Crystal Dragon’s breath skill, once it touches the target, it induces a violent explosion, causing both physical and spiritual destructive energy damage.

Almost simultaneously, Red Iron Dragon took a breath.

Scarlet flame and vibrant golden lightning surged and gathered in his throat, forming a scorching frenzied Flame Thunder Dragon Breath, confronting the Lion King’s purple breath without retreating.

Boom—!

The two energy torrents fiercely collided in mid-air, triggering an earth-shattering explosion.

The shockwave expanded in a ring, causing the rock walls on either side of the rift to shake violently, unceasingly groaning, as countless boulders crumbled and rolled down, like a stone rain. ℯℯ𝘭.

The next second.

The Red Iron Dragon, enwrapped by golden thunder and Dragon Qi, burst through the region where flame thunder and spiritual energy were still jostling, like an extraterrestrial meteorite, crashing down unimpeded towards the Purple Crystal Lion King at the pit’s bottom.

Bam!

Purple Crystal Lion King had just regained its senses from the intense energy clash, its vision was swiftly enveloped by a massive shadow.

Its neck was already tightly grasped by a scorching dragon claw, its entire body was forced into the ground by brute force, creating a grating sound as it plowed out a deep furrow several dozen meters long into the earth, finally crashing fiercely against the mountain wall behind it, embedding deeply.

Red Iron Dragon raised his immensely strong four arms high.

The next moment, an attack infused with thunder and fire, along with pure physical power, rained down like a tempest.

In haste, Purple Crystal Lion King gathered a layer of crystal-clear yet exquisitely resilient Purple Crystal Armor on its body, attempting to resist.

However, with each heavy blow landing, the mountain wall emitted unbearable shaking and continuous reverberations, inwardly collapsing, dirt and rock splattering.

Both dragon and lion gradually sank deeper into the crater being pounded into the ground.

And within seconds, the Purple Crystal Lion King, enduring the brutal strikes, barely calmed its shaken spirit.

—Spiritual Step!

Its body instantly blurred, transforming into a dissipating afterimage, breaking free from Red Iron Dragon’s lethal grip, its true form appearing on the open ground at the bottom of the rift, a hundred meters away.

The Purple Crystal Armor it had earlier conjured had completely shattered and vanished.

Even with layers of defensive skills and damage transfer weakening, its main body still bore countless new scars, and the originally raging and blazing violet flame had faded considerably, its breath weakened severely.

Boom!

The rock shattered, Red Iron Dragon, in an impressively commanding posture, burst forth from the collapsed pit in the mountain wall, standing tall again in Purple Crystal Lion King’s view, surrounded by golden thunder and Dragon Qi, his prowess even greater than before.

”Any other trump cards? Use them all.”

Red Iron Dragon spoke calmly, yet received no verbal response.

”Such high intelligence yet not speaking? Perhaps it’s never learned the language of other races.”

The thought flitted across his mind, as his gaze sharpened further, locking onto his opponent.

Across from him, despite being in poor condition, the Purple Crystal Lion King still uttered an unyielding roar.

A purple crystal stone floating amid its mane suddenly fell, then shattered, transforming into a pure spiritual energy glow, swiftly integrating into the Purple Crystal Lion King’s body.

Its external wounds showed little improvement, but the weakened spiritual energy fluctuation became vigorous again.

Boom!

The ground beneath it, hollowed by the dragon’s impact, collapsed and shattered, yet the Purple Crystal Lion King’s figure had already vanished from its original position.

Red Iron Dragon raised his head, his gaze piercing through the swirling dust, locked onto the surrounding, once again brimming with surging spiritual energy glow, the Purple Crystal Lion King attempting to distance itself.
