According to his original speculation, even if the Ancient Fire Dragon's flesh and blood really had a buff effect, it shouldn't provide any benefit to someone of his level unless it was refined into alchemy potions or similar items.
Instead, the Ancient Fire Dragon's hard scales were of the highest value in Lyle's eyes.
In the "Great Tomb of Nazarick," Mare's light armor was made from the scales of a deep blue dragon king, while Aura's light armor used the scales of a reddish-black dragon king.
It could be seen that even in the "YGGDRASIL" game, giant dragon scales were still excellent Materials.
Boom!
"Awoo—"
Another loud noise came from the lava sea, and a low cry, like that of a dolphin, vaguely echoed from the magma.
Swoosh!
A huge, lantern-like palm suddenly reached out from the lava sea, flying rapidly toward Lyle.
Facing this attack.
Lyle had no intention of dodging at all; instead, he calmly watched the flying giant lantern palm.
"Clack!" With a vibration, the thick, fiery-red fleshy tube connecting the lantern palm suddenly pulled taut and stopped in mid-air.
The Solar Anglerfish's lure could reach out about a hundred meters at most, and this distance was far from enough to reach the outer edge of the lava tunnel where Lyle currently stood.
It wasn't even enough to reach the midpoint between them.
"I'll deal with you first."
Amidst the commotion caused by the Solar Anglerfish, Lyle snapped back to his senses, fixed his gaze on the lava sea, and spoke softly.
Bang!
An "Angel Summoning" scroll appeared in Lyle's hand, which he crushed with force.
Accompanied by a dazzling light condensing in the air, the figure of an Archangel of Observation appeared in mid-air.
With a flick of his wrist, Lyle threw a pre-made magic scroll containing "Greater Teleportation" to the Archangel of Observation.
The Archangel of Observation raised its hands, using its giant silver-armored palms to catch the scroll—which was tiny in comparison to its size—and clasped its hands tightly to form a protective layer.
Whoosh!
Its bright silver and yellow wings flapped.
The Archangel of Observation immediately rushed toward the lava sea at high speed.
"Hey, big fat fish, are you looking for revenge?" Lyle shouted toward the lava sea as soon as he saw the Archangel of Observation begin its Move.
Boom!
Boom!
In the lava sea, the Solar Anglerfish's huge eyes revealed an angry expression as it leaped from the magma once more, stirring up pillars of soaring lava.
Seeing the Solar Anglerfish so easily provoked.
A smile appeared in Lyle's eyes; there were really not many methods he could use to deal with the Solar Anglerfish.
For example, summoning higher-tier angels or higher-tier Composite Elementals!
But both methods actually involved entering the opponent's home field to fight; once the Solar Anglerfish sensed danger, it would dive into the depths of the lava sea to hide.
Lyle would then have no way to deal with it.
Therefore!
The best way was to find a way to transfer the Solar Anglerfish out of its home field, the lava sea.
The "Greater Teleportation" magic scroll in the Archangel of Observation's hand was for this purpose, though the magic scroll wouldn't be activated by the Archangel of Observation itself!
Hiss! Hiss!
As the Archangel of Observation quickly entered the central area of the Lava Zone, its silver-white armor gradually became scalding hot and red, emitting wisps of white smoke.
Only the center of the Archangel of Observation's palms emitted a holy white light.
It was using holy-attribute energy to protect the magic scroll in its hands.
Boom!
The Solar Anglerfish poked its massive head out of the lava, and seeing the small Archangel of Observation flying toward it, it gave its head a slight flick.
The hand-shaped lantern instantly flew from its head, grabbed the approaching Archangel of Observation, and then yanked it over, throwing it into its mouth.
Dense, sharp, thick teeth easily crushed the Archangel of Observation, which then dissipated into white points of light.
The magic scroll naturally fell into the Solar Anglerfish's mouth, where it was crushed and activated simultaneously.
To activate teleportation magic, a destination is naturally needed!
If there is no pre-marked destination, the magic uses the location within the user's line of sight as the final teleportation point.
And at this moment!
The Solar Anglerfish was staring intently at Lyle's location, and as the "Greater Teleportation" magic activated...
On the surface of the lava sea.
The area where the Solar Anglerfish was located collapsed in an instant, and its massive figure vanished into thin air.

It worked!
Lyle had used the seventh-tier "Greater Teleportation" instead of the fifth-tier "Teleportation" because once Greater Teleportation is successfully activated, it cannot fail.
Even if the Solar Anglerfish could react, it wouldn't have time to stop it.
And on Lyle's side, at almost the same instant!
The Solar Anglerfish's roughly fifty-meter-long, mountain-like figure appeared directly above Lyle's head, turning into a massive shadow that crashed down heavily.
Boom!
The air was suddenly compressed, instantly forming invisible pressure that surged downward.
Lyle, who had already prepared, naturally reacted immediately, though he still couldn't help but have his pupils contract slightly.
This was also his first time facing a situation where he was approached by teleportation magic, and he finally felt how troublesome that magic could be.
If he hadn't known in advance and had suddenly faced this situation, it would have been easy to become flustered or even fail to respond in time.
"Impure Impact Shield!"
Lyle's eyes widened as he let out a low shout.
Bang!
A black energy impact was suddenly released with Lyle as the center, colliding with the Solar Anglerfish's massive body and creating a roar.
Despite the Solar Anglerfish's massive size, which was completely disproportionate to the tiny Lyle beneath it, it was still uncontrollably forced back.
Besides negating magic effects, "Impure Impact Shield" also had the effect of forcefully repelling enemies within its range.
Rumble!!
"Awoo—"
The Solar Anglerfish let out a dolphin-like shrill cry as its massive figure crashed heavily onto the ground, causing the entire earth to shake.
Under the intense vibration, a large amount of rubble tumbled down from the surrounding mountain walls.
Suddenly leaving its familiar lava sea!
A panicked look appeared in the Solar Anglerfish's fiery red giant fish eyes, and it kept shaking its side and dorsal fins.
However!
On land, these locomotive organs had no effect at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In its panic, the Solar Anglerfish incessantly twisted its massive body, its tail striking the ground heavily; every collision with the ground made the entire earth tremble.
Lyle quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and the Solar Anglerfish.
Looking at the massive crimson figure, over fifty meters long and at least thirty meters high...
Lyle couldn't help but crane his neck, an astonished expression on his face.
Knowing the data was one thing, but actually standing before such a behemoth and feeling it was another matter entirely.
He felt an astonishing Aura rushing at him!
Even though the opponent's Rank was only around 47.
And his current Rank was also 41; the Rank gap between them didn't seem obvious, but the gap in their size and life stage...
Not to mention the Dragon Clan!
Lyle was now very certain that even if he rose to Rank 47, his MP value would still be quite far from that of the Solar Anglerfish before him.
This gap wasn't in Rank; it was entirely a racial gap!
However!
In other aspects—
"Hmph!" Lyle snorted coldly as an astonishing surge of mana fluctuated around him; streams of water condensed in mid-air and then wrapped around his body, surging toward his arms.
"Seventh-Tier Magic—Chain Water Dragon!"
Boom!
Two swimming water dragons were released from Lyle's arms, rapidly expanding in mid-air into two dragons several meters long that crashed heavily into the Solar Anglerfish's body.
Bang!
The violent impact exploded.
It forcefully pushed the Solar Anglerfish's massive body back another distance.
The two water dragons turned into splashes and spread out, sweeping across the Solar Anglerfish's scalding, crimson scales and rapidly cooling the high temperature radiating from its body.
Sizzle— Sizzle—
Following that, the scales on the Solar Anglerfish's body emitted a series of crisp sounds; one could vaguely observe that the hard scales seemed to have become somewhat brittle.
Scales adapted to high temperatures would naturally not adapt to a low-temperature environment.
"Awoo!"
The Solar Anglerfish let out a cry of pain as its angry, crimson fish eyes cleared from their panic and fixed on the tiny human figure nearby.
"A pity I haven't mastered any frost-attribute Moves, otherwise this would be even easier to handle."
This thought flashed through Lyle's mind, but his attack movements didn't pause for a second as his surging mana vibrated once more.
"Seventh-Tier Magic—Chain Dragon Lightning!"
Dazzling electric light suddenly flickered all over Lyle's body, then condensed into two white lightning dragons on each of his arms.
The dazzling electric light illuminated Lyle brightly, and a terrifying Aura of destruction permeated his body.
Boom!
The winding, surging dragon-shaped lightning turned into two dazzling, blending white lights that, with the speed of lightning, crashed heavily into the Solar Anglerfish's body in the blink of an eye.
Crack!!
The Solar Anglerfish was enveloped in dazzling electric light; its scales, which had already become brittle from the previous water-attribute attack...
Under the destruction of the lightning, the electricity easily bypassed the gaps in the scales and bored into the Solar Anglerfish's body.
"Awoo, awoo!!"
The Solar Anglerfish let out another intense cry of pain, and as the dazzling electric light dissipated,
a large portion of the hard scales across its entire body had cracked and shattered, and streams of blood flowed from the wounds between the scales.
Its previously strong Aura of life was suddenly weakened by a large margin.
"Awoo!!"
The Solar Anglerfish looked at Lyle with anger and fear, opening its massive fish mouth as its jowls on both sides puffed out rapidly.
A surge of crimson energy emitted a fiery light from both sides of its jowls, and then, scalding lava spewed from the Solar Anglerfish's mouth.
"Lava Impact"
A crimson high-temperature torrent surged toward Lyle!
