The Ancient Fire Dragon glared with its fierce, fire-red eyes, not believing that it could actually experience the emotion of fear.
But the intense sense of threat that appeared out of nowhere on the lower-class human before it forced it to respond immediately.
The speed of the human before it was not very fast.
So the Ancient Fire Dragon opened its mouth directly. A violent crimson light gathered in its mouth, and then it turned into a sea of fire, spewing out from its maw.
"Fire Breath!"
"Boom!"
A smell of sulfur and pumice instantly permeated the area. The scorching flames released an astonishingly high temperature, surging towards Lyle like a blanket covering the sky.
Facing this fan-shaped, wide-range Dragon Breath attack!
Lyle, who was about to rush in front of the Ancient Fire Dragon, knew that he could not avoid it at all.
With his current defensive level, he couldn't block an attack of this level, let alone the fact that he didn't have fire resistance.
But that didn't mean he couldn't block it!
"Impure Impact Shield!" Lyle's eyes widened, and he let out a loud shout.
"Bang!"
Crimson-black energy centered on Lyle, turning into an unstoppable shockwave that spread outwards, instantly colliding with the Fire Breath.
The moment the two forces made contact, there was no expected energy collision or intense roaring sound!
It was as if snowflakes melting; the astonishingly powerful Fire Breath quickly dissipated and vanished!
"What is this—"
The Ancient Fire Dragon looked at this scene in disbelief.
"Whoosh!"
By this time, Lyle had already rushed in front of the Ancient Fire Dragon. He pressed his legs down, jumped hard, and reached a height of seven or eight meters in front of the Ancient Fire Dragon's chest.
"Flap!!"
The Ancient Fire Dragon had a trace of panic on its face as it flapped its wings, trying to get up.
A gale swept through.
Seeing that his powerful leap could only land him on the chest of the Ancient Fire Dragon after it had risen, a flash of regret passed through Lyle's eyes, which was immediately replaced by a cold glint.
"Die!"
"Rapid Slash!"
Lyle held the magic greatsword with both hands, a black curse power covering the blade, and slashed down hard with all his might.
Under the current circumstances.
This was not the time to worry about the magic greatsword being destroyed by the curse power.
The blade erupted with terrifying force, slicing the air in front of it to shreds, and slashed heavily onto the metallic, hard, and thick red scales on the Ancient Fire Dragon's chest.
"Aura of Courage" triggered—melee contact, the first damage dealt is guaranteed to be a critical hit! (PS: Critical 1.5)
"Weapon Extra Mastery" triggered—Slashing damage 110%, Area damage 50%.
"Rapid Slash" skill damage 10%.
The superposition of the three effects allowed Lyle to instantly burst out more than three times his base attack value; this was a level of power that transcended what ordinary people could understand.
"Squelch!"
The hard, fire-red scales on the Ancient Fire Dragon's chest were like fragile paper, easily shattered by the magic greatsword as it cut into its body.
Lyle held the hilt with both hands, and as his body fell from the air, he tried to slice open the Ancient Fire Dragon's chest completely, as if performing a disembowelment.
"Roar! Get away, human!"
The Ancient Fire Dragon let out a painful howl. Its massive, fire-red wings flapped rapidly. As it took off, its strong and powerful fire-red dragon claws on its chest smashed down hard.
The sound of wind being broken coming from above his head!
Made Lyle's expression change. He had to quickly pull the magic greatsword out of the Ancient Fire Dragon's chest and block it above his head.
Compared to his instantly burst-out attack power, his own defensive ability was much worse.
A heavy force came down along his arms.
"Bang!"
Lyle only felt his arms go numb. Like a speeding meteor, his body uncontrollably smashed heavily into the ground.
The scorching mountain wall ground vibrated, and a human-shaped crater appeared on the ground.
"Cough!"
Lyle crawled out of the crater in a sorry state, spitting out a mouthful of blood that splattered on the ground and was quickly evaporated by the high temperature of the ground.
His trembling, numb arms couldn't even hold the magic greatsword steadily.
