Chapter Seventy-Three: Progress

"How did I feel at that time?"

Trees were broken, rocks were shattered, the ground was littered with craters, and there were traces of raging flames and venom everywhere—less than ten minutes into the battle, a good forest was almost unrecognizable.

Not only that, but as the battle between the two dragons heats up, Iroh gradually senses a familiar feeling coming, just like the first time he fought Natalie.

Seem...... Not bad yet?

It turns out that I also have an element of battle mania in my bones. With a deft dodge, Iroh dodged another poisonous breath from Natalie, and couldn't help but think so.

Of course, when you think about it, external factors are not worth mentioning for both sides on the field now, and only the battle itself is worth their full dedication.

Natalie balances with her wings and tail, and the magical power she hadn't used in the last battle now helps her run along the near-vertical rock wall at high speed in a way that seems unbelievable to ordinary people, dodging the flames that Iroh spits out again and again.

Her body tilted at such an angle that it was almost at a ninety degree angle to the ground, and as her right arm reached out, the roar of the magic missile bursting in the air was already sounding.

While the Magic Missile is a fairly basic form of magic, it's just as useful. And with the release of the dragon's level of spell-casting ability, the magic missile can form a dense barrage rain!

At this moment, the magic on the left and right sides of Natalie's body set off a devastating barrage rain, spiraling forward like a cannon cannonball fired horizontally, with a burst of wind breaking through the air, mixed with the rolled up dirt and sand fossilized into an earthy yellow dust storm and crashed towards the black dragon hundreds of meters away.

"Iroh, you're terrifyingly strong!"

"A year has passed, and your progress is not small. It's probably just a warm-up for us right now, but even that makes me a little bit excited. ”

Iroh opened his mouth, and the high-temperature and high-pressure air around him was replaced by a blazing red waterfall in the next moment, and under the guidance of magic, it turned into a thick wall of fire, and met Natalie's barrage rain head-on.

The magic missile collided with the wall of flames, and the high-intensity energy collision erupted into a deafening roar.

Even Ello's almost liquefied wall of flame was not enough to resist Natalie's unrestrained magic at the moment, which was instantly pierced by the furious missile, but it also gradually reduced the energy contained in the missile.

When the magic missile broke through a wall of flames, it ushered in the flame barrier that Iroh had laid at the same time, and when it almost reached the front of Iro, it almost ran out of strength, and gently hit Iro's solid black scales, causing no real damage.

"It's time for me to do the same, right?"

As soon as Ello's mind moved, the combined effect of spiritual power and magic power directly caused the liquid flame fragments that flew out to stagnate and abruptly stagnate in the air, reversing their direction like a hundred birds returning to their nests, and shooting away in the smoke and dust in front of them, like a torrential rain, the dense shooting continued to destroy the rock wall, and the dust and smoke clouds were scattered and sputtered more and more thick.

"Uhhh

The slowly rising cloud of dust and mushrooms, like real mushrooms, was slashed in half from top to bottom by the aftermath of the sudden attack, and a sharp blade as silver as the first quarter moon flashed, and Natalie's figure appeared directly in Eloh's sight.

It's just a little different from before, the scales on her body have been refined into gold—the defensive magic of the Golden Scale Protector is now actually used by her as a means of attack!

The tail and wings took on an attacking stance, and the air was forcibly compressed into translucent blades that were almost like gold splitting stones, and Iroh could even see a few deep cuts with extremely smooth edges in the hard rock wall behind her.

Offensive and defensive ...... Sure enough, Natalie also hid a lot of strength at the beginning.

Sideways to avoid its edge, then with a swift move, the sharp tip of the flaming spear that Iroh summoned again struck precisely at the end of the wings of the fierce Natalie.

Like a needle puncture a bulging balloon, the highly condensed True Air blades on either side of Natalie's wings burst openly, and Iroh took a light leap with the force of the scattered storm that set off, and dodged Natalie's next tail blow.

"See through the balance of power in my move, and then spend the least amount of force to break it with incredible precision...... Sometimes I wonder what kind of dragon you are, who is still a teenager, but is enough to rival your youth. ”

"I also want to know, at least it shouldn't be a black dragon. ”

Iroh replied casually.

Natalie didn't answer, the energy fluctuations in her whole body were directly pushed to the peak, and the vigorous and agitated power exploded into layers of air waves, like thousands of real monstrous waves stacking and squeezing air barriers, collapsing rocks and rubble, destroying withering and decaying, and forcing towards Iro!

At this moment, in the high-speed battle, the two dragons had unknowingly deviated from the original forest path and came to the outside of the forest.

Although the change of venue means that it is no longer the sphere of influence of the Icourt Valley, compared to the previous narrowness of the field, there is enough space for the two dragons to fire at full power.

As for being seen?

Whatever, anyway, there is nothing in the eyes of Iroh and Natalie except for each other.

Natalie's poisonous breath wrapped in magic was like a cannonball filled with venom and shot towards Iro, who was lying on the rock wall, without any skill, purely by force. Before the breath could reach Iroh, the terrifying air that overflowed had already swept away all the rock walls that stood in its way, forming a long path.

Iroh's heart was calm, and the gold in his eyes became brighter and brighter. His body reversed, jumped directly off the rock wall more than 100 meters high, and fell straight to the ground.

At the same time, Natalie's body was suddenly enveloped by a huge pitch-black shadow, and her expression changed slightly when she noticed this, and she looked up. At a height of about thirty or forty meters above his head, a huge lava sphere with a diameter of more than 100 meters had formed at some point, and now it was falling at an extremely high speed with a terrible whistling wind, its momentum was as vast as the fall of a star, and the coercion was as shocking as the collapse of a mountain!

"It's a big scene. ”

Natalie didn't show any fear, she opened her mouth suddenly, and a large amount of air gathered in a spiral at an unprecedented speed, and launched violently with a dragon roar!

A sharp stream of compressed air like a drill bit pierced the falling pyraeous meteorite from the bottom, and a large amount of lava debris formed a deep red fountain of fire from the top!

"But that's not enough!"

Natalie's head swung, and the piercing flame meteorite was blasted into countless debris by the raging and agitating force in it, and it fell and flew in all directions, like a sudden explosion in midair, and a brilliant firework with a fiery red hue appeared all over it.

"If that's all you have—"

Chasing Iroh's breath, Natalie turned around, stepped up the hill a few steps, leaned against the almost vertical rock wall and looked down at Iroh who was standing on the ground again, and was about to say something, but before she could finish speaking, a sharp black spear that pulled out of the ground pierced out, its speed was like a ghost, and it reached Natalie's throat in an instant.

As if she had expected it, she reached out and pressed her front paw against the tip of the spear, trying to stop it from castrating, but the force from the tip of the spear was almost endless, forcing Natalie to force her all the way to the top of the mountain.

"Uh-huh-"

Then, with the whispered chant from Iro's mouth, countless magic missiles whistled and flew out, and under Iro's control, they continued to shoot towards Natalie.

Magic Missile is the basic magic, since Natalie can master it, how can Iroh not?

Even Iroh is even better than Natalie in this regard. If Natalie's magic missile is a barrage rain, then Eloh's is a barrage sea!

At this moment, the missiles fired at Natalie - there are a thousand of them!

"Of course I'm more than that. ”

Iroh said honestly.

In the next moment, the position of Natalie, who was surrounded by countless missiles, suddenly exploded!

The invisible and qualitative force rushed and spread in all directions without limit, and exploded with a crushing attitude, countless crowded missiles were deflected and destroyed in an instant, and a round of twisted and deformed circular transparent outlines exploded in mid-air, as if a stone was thrown on the surface of a calm lake, and the air stirred up ripples in circles, and everything that the ripples touched were all crushed by the devastating and decaying colossal force.

Natalie gasped slightly, and the iconic compressed air shield around her turned into a translucent force field, protecting her as she slowly fell, showing arrogance and domineering.

Natalie, who swept everything with her violent fighting style...... Obviously not yet an adult, this kind of momentum is no less than some adult red dragons, right?

Iroh witnessed this scene and felt some emotion in his heart.

Sure enough, it is not only yourself who can leave your peers far behind. In addition to Natalie, he also saw many such powerhouses on this trip to the royal capital, such as Kairol, and then Star Venerable.

Natalie is naturally not as laid-back as Iroh, in fact, she is really close to the limit.

The emerald eyes almost turned into two dazzling green balls, and an incomparably sharp air blade burst out, piercing through the long sky and crossing a long distance, although Iroh immediately dodged sideways, but the slight distraction just now made him pay the price: this sharp energy failed to penetrate his throat, but pierced through his right shoulder.

"That's really...... It's been a long time since I've been hurting. ”

Licking the wound on his shoulder, the combined effect of magic and dragon saliva quickly stopped the flow of blood. The sharp pain did not affect his will in the slightest, but only made his already eager to fight even more excited, and a smile that could not be seen by humans came to his cheeks.

"There will be injuries, there will be bleeding...... Natalie, you're fighting with the belief that you're really going to kill me. ”

"That's it. I really want to kill you. ”

Between the eye contact, both sides couldn't help but smile.

Centered on the ground where Iroh stood, a circle of crimson light suddenly bloomed, and where the red light passed, endless crimson flames seemed to be born out of thin air, turning into the shape of a solidified raging sea tide, and the blades of grass and trees were instantly burned, as if all life was swallowed and frozen by this raging and scorching divine fire......

"Then you die, Natalie. ”

Iroh chuckled, his head jerked upward, and a hill of crimson lava with a piercing "boom" burst into the ground and slammed into Natalie, its massive mass combined with terrifying speed, the escaping blast alone was enough to turn into a terrifying hurricane that swept everything, and the top of its peak shot out a milky white sharp cone-shaped blast of air, and the raging flames were like demonic flames from purgatory, bursting with unprecedented power.

"Yanshan...... Purgatory!"
