The man standing next to the girl's captive, dressed in pure black battle clothes, with a handsome and indifferent expression, was none other than Hughes, who had been separated from the army for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a short distance from the abyss of death, so there was no such strong breath of death, the warm breeze on the prairie was blowing, the long grass was swinging like waves, and the bright sunlight was shining down, hitting Hughes's body and back, but it didn't seem to bring him any temperature.

He was like a silent ghost walking in broad daylight.

In fact, it was this ghostly temperament that earned him the nickname "Blood Ghost" when he was in Aoki Castle, and it was also the reason why he had such a charming appearance but few girls dared to approach him.

Hughes doesn't need to speak, he doesn't need to show any emotion, just standing there quietly, looking at you with those brown and almost black eyes, it will inexplicably make people's hearts chill.

After knocking the girl's captive unconscious, Hughes slowly crouched down beside the girl, carefully examining something.

The clothes on his body were in good condition, without too many torn and wrinkles, and the only few places were left over from the battle before entering the second layer.

In other words, Hughes went all the way to the Ancient Steppe and went all the way here, completely unharmed.

Hughes gently placed the white and slender but not delicate but powerful palm on the girl's left breast, and then there were wisps of dark purple power, emanating from his palms and penetrating into the girl's body.

"Huh?" After a moment, he was suddenly stunned and muttered to himself, "I see, this person already has two forbidden forces in his elemental crystal." If I'm not mistaken, this should be the work of Caesar and Nono. Scold. Now that they have placed a ban. I won't do more. ”

Hughes smiled slightly. Take your hand back.

One thing is strange.

You must know that Caesar and Nono injected power into the body of this girl captive, because the girl captive had explained that those who entered the third layer of the Dragon Road must have at least one battle mage, which was the order of the battle commander before the trial team in the northern kingdom set off.

Because of this, Caesar and Nono used their energy to limit the elemental crystals in the captive's body.

But Hughes, who has been separated from the large army, should not have a chance to know this, and all he should know is the information provided by the Imperial Military Department before his trip.

"But I just know. Hughes stood up, silently thinking with a blank face. "It's as if when I saw it in the Alcana, I instinctively knew it was my natural enemy. ”

Thinking of this, Hughes shook his head slightly, as if just thinking about that kind of dragon monster would make him very uncomfortable.

He shook his head, and after a moment his face was completely calm, then leaned over and picked up the girl's captive, striding in the direction of the abyss of death and the stone bridge across the abyss.

......

......

On the shores of the abyss.

Time and space are still shrouded in the power of the little dragon, and the passage of time is unusually slow.

The only ones who were not affected were Caesar himself, the cute and mighty dragon in gray armor, and the phoenix lying quietly on the grass next to Caesar.

"Even I admire myself a little bit. Caesar stood still, watching the dragon's claws trying to dodge. The dragon-like monster with anger on his face muttered softly.

Yes. When he was threatened by monsters before, Caesar's struggling and tangled performance, as well as Xiaolong's little expression of fear and despair, were actually mostly performed for the other party!

Of course, it was true at first, but Caesar decided very quickly, with little hesitation.

Because he has a very firm concept in his heart, that is, the little dragon and the phoenix are equally important to him, and Caesar will never do such a practice of giving up one in exchange for the other.

So sometimes, belief is really important.

Caesar was convinced that he could not give up either of the two, no matter what, so his inner defense line was not lost at all.

Then, he would come up with the brilliant idea of wearing gray armor on the little dragon before!

"This story tells us that if we really want to do something, we will find a way to do it. Otherwise, it can only show that deep down in my heart I am not really firm. Uh-huh!"

Caesar couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Of course, Xiaolong's acting skills are very, very powerful, when the little guy looked at himself with that helpless look just now, Caesar felt that he was almost deceived as an insider!

But that's not the end of the battle.

Caesar quickly suppressed the little smugness in his heart and became serious again, because he knew that the little dragon alone should not be able to truly defeat the monster.

Although it has been proven that the little dragon can also wear gray armor, and it is amazing that the armor on the little dragon also seems to become transparent and invisible, and will not be exposed because of this.

But if Caesar didn't feel wrong, the increase in strength brought by the gray armor worn on the little dragon was actually not as good as the benefits brought by the gray armor worn on his body.

"This is a great opportunity, a chance to take out that monster. Caesar took a deep breath and flipped his hand to pull out his exclusive javelin weapon.

The little dragon was about to slap the monster in the face with a claw, not to mention severely wounding or killing, but at least it could suppress the other party to the death, there was no doubt about it.

And what Caesar has to do is to do the same as those battles he has experienced in the past, taking advantage of the little dragon to help him slow down the opponent and give the enemy a real fatal blow.

Caesar's power of the dragon, the three-stage instantaneous opening, the fivefold piercing effect of the exclusive weapon, and various dragon vein spells that can be attached to the weapon to increase the power were all mobilized by Caesar at this moment.

At the same time, in the place where the dragon awakened, the huge power contained in the flames of the altar was gradually mobilized by Caesar, and it was injected into the javelin weapon along his arm.

This is actually a punch that is injected into the javelin weapon as well.

In fact, in the first layer of the Dragon Road, Caesar and Black and White had already used a punch to the death, and it stands to reason that Caesar needed a period of time to save up again, so that the little dragon could eat all kinds of energy-rich ore substances or rare ingredients in order to fill the altar flame again. Have a chance to hit the next punch.

But after entering the dragon road. Some subtle changes seem to be quietly underway. Jean Caesar's abilities also changed.

For example, now, Caesar found that the altar flame no longer needed to be replenished by the dragon's food, and it seemed that it could directly draw power from the void, and after purifying it through the dragon's awakening place, it would be stored in the altar flame.

Caesar didn't understand the principle for a while, and he didn't bother to dig into it on an occasion like this.

It's just that this strengthens his previous judgment and the mystery behind his many strange abilities. Maybe you really have to find the key to the answer in this dragon path.

Zizi, zizizi!

All kinds of abilities and forces finally converged on the javelin in Caesar's hand, and with Caesar's control of power, it was impossible to achieve absolute convergence and cohesion.

On the tip of the javelin, the high-density energy is like a miniature but terrifying thunderbolt, constantly twisting and ejecting, and even faintly penetrating space!

With a snap, the dragon's claws finally slapped the monster's face.

With the size of a little guy, it is not scary to do such a slapping action, but it looks quite cute. But if anyone else could see it. I can only marvel at the amazing power that this seemingly cute blow actually contains.

The monster's face collapsed in pieces, and the scales on its body made a series of fine explosions. It seems that a large amount of gunpowder has exploded in the monster's body, and there are really many scales that have cracked or turned out, and blood seeps out from the cracks of the broken scales, which is shocking!

The intense pain made the monster's body tremble, but the slowing power contained in the dragon's claws made its actual reaction unusually slow, and it couldn't do it.

Pain.

Fury.

Madness.

In the end, it all turned into intense fear.

The dragon-like monster tried to resist, because a javelin had come to the top of its head at some point, and Caesar did not throw the javelin, but held it in both hands, pointed the pointed end down, aimed it at the monster's head, raised its arms high, and then stabbed it straight down with all his strength!

So yes, in fact, this round of confrontation with monsters is essentially no different from Caesar's past battles. It's just that the claw of the little dragon's deceleration has become the claw of the deceleration of the little dragon wearing gray armor, which has a better effect and stronger strength. And Caesar's blow was also the strongest blow he had ever struck with his own strength!

There was a pop and tear, and blood splattered in the air.

The javelin pierced through the top of the dragon-like monster's head, and then pierced through the jaw, in fact, it is reasonable, although Caesar's blow was very powerful, but after all, the gray armor was now worn on the little dragon instead of himself, so it was not really invincible.

You must know this kind of dragon monster, but in the first layer of the dragon path, he casually killed the fifteenth-level battle mage Serge!

But the strange thing is that Caesar's shot was like a hot knife poking into the cheese, and the monster's hard scale armor and skull defense did little to help.

"Sure enough!" Caesar's heart brightened.

If memory serves, at the last moment of the battle with this monster in the Arcana, Caesar had planned to put on the gray armor and try his best, but he didn't succeed in putting it on.

As a result, in the case of insufficient preparation, he collided with the monster head-on, and the result was that the monster was injured and escaped. In the later incident report of the military department, it was recorded that the monster was finally injured in the hands of the battle mage Black and White, but in fact, Caesar, including Black and White himself, knew that it was not.

That monster was badly wounded by Caesar who didn't wear gray armor!

At this moment, blood flew before Caesar's eyes.

It was pure bright red.

Caesar consciously and carefully distinguished, and there was indeed no other variegated color in the red. And the blood of the rumored dragon clan should be slightly golden.

Caesar felt some regret.

After all, killing a dragon-like monster means that the real secret on its body will never be solved...... What kind of existence is this ghost thing that looks like a dragon but shouldn't be a real dragon?

The time that had stood still began to return to normal.

Caesar's companions, who were almost immobile due to the slowing effect, including the Canglan Dragon, who had rushed madly before, returned to normal.

Then they saw a scene of a dragon-like monster that had not been able to survive until then, with its head hanging from the javelin weapon in Caesar's hand. (To be continued.) )
