Age of Adepts Chapter 733 Dragonslaying Battle

First round: Fire Dragon's Breath vs Flame Stream.
It was the fire dragon's complete victory!
Greem's body even stumbled back uncontrollably from the clash of the two blazing fires.
His companions immediately came to back him up after seeing this.
The next second, Zacha's Chain Lightning and the Goblin Shredder's Goblin Rocket Ver. 2.0 shot at the fire dragon. However, their attacks were neutralized or detonated by the dragon's breath before they could even reach the dragon.
The towering fire dragon slowly shook his wicked head and put his full strength into maintaining the shockingly powerful flame breath, sweeping across in a massive fan shape.
The fire dragon's massive size gave him surprising lung capacity.
If the dragon were blasting fire from above, the duration of this dragon's breath would be sufficient to form a massive wall of flame thirty meters wide and eight hundred meters in length. No creature covered by the flames would survive. Even mighty earthen fortresses would explode into a horrifying sea of fire inside a dragon breath of such intensity.
The fire dragon's breath wasn't composed of pure elementium fire. A strange, viscous substance that could only be found in the bodies of dragons had mixed into the breath in decent quantities. It caused the fire dragon's breath's to possess an extraordinary adhesiveness that elementium flames did not own. Once these fires spread to an object, they would stick to its surface and use surging flames to burn everything that could ignite!
That was why Zacha and the Goblin Shredder could not extinguish the fire from the dragon's breath that had grazed them, no matter how hard they tried.
Just as Fire Dragon Bamler was wreaking havoc among the adept's with a single dragon's breath, he suddenly let out a cry of agony. He immediately shut his mouth and stopped his attack. Mary's slender body silently appeared near his head; one claw ferociously stabbed near his snout.
An Agility-type adept assassin like Mary could not possibly break through the fire dragon's tough scales and his hard skull without the help of powerful magical equipment.
The fire dragon grunted in pain and was forced to stop his breath. The right hand with which Mary had used all her force to attack was also bloody and injured now.
However, the blood was only Mary's. Her attack had not even managed to pierce the fire dragon's scales.
The fire dragon roared in anger before opening his fangs and letting out an earthshaking roar to intimidate the enemy. It was only then that he reached out with his head and bit wickedly at Mary's slender body.
"Back. Don't fight it head on…move around."
Seeing the dire situation that had come about, Greem immediately tossed an instant-cast magma fireball at the fire dragon's mouth and tilted his head a little off course. The flame waves from the explosions also knocked Mary away as she was stunned from the close-distance dragon's roar.
Though Mary had to suffer a bit of fire damage for this, she had managed to avoid the fatal bite of the fire dragon!
Mary was a Second Grade adept after all. Her Spirit had reached seventeen points, putting her resistance against the dragon's aura of might at a decent level. She had only been hit by the aura at too close of a distance earlier, throwing her mind into chaos for a moment. Once she left the area, her mind immediately returned to normal. She turned into a crimson shadow, flashing away from the spot.
Ka, ka, ka!
Mary evaded the several furious bites of the fire dragon with her agile movements.
Mary's maneuvers had also bought time for her few companions who were in charge of holding down the fort against the dragon. Zacha and the Shredder didn't bother with dealing with the fires still burning on them. They immediately roared and charged at the fire dragon from the left and right.
The Goblin Shredder's drill and chainsaw clashed with the right claw that the fire dragon had swung at it. As blood flew everywhere from the impact, the Shredder's massive body was also blown away by the fire dragon.
Dragonborn Zacha took the opportunity to lunge forward and smash the Frozen Mallet in his hand on the thick, left hind leg that the fire dragon was using to support his weight.
Fire Dragon Bamler let out a pained hiss and that leg of his immediately bent.
The fire dragon turned his head with agility and speed not matched by his massive size. His golden, blazing eyes fixated upon Dragonborn Zacha.
To think it was a Second Grade dragonborn warrior!
Bamler's mind turned rapidly. For the first time, he started to seriously consider if a dragon lord had joined the ranks of those conspiring against him. It was important to note that, on Lance, all dragonborn servants would only believe in and serve one dragon lord during their entire lives.
No dragon lord would be willing to part with their dragonborn servants, for they were one of the most valuable pieces of their hoard! Moreover, the cultivation of a Second Grade dragonborn servant was so difficult that it could even bring a dragon to tears. That was why Bamler couldn't help but start having doubts when he saw a Second Grade dragonborn warrior in the ranks of the outsiders.
However, doubts and suspicions were only that- doubts and suspicions. There was no room for thoughts or hesitation during battle.
Bamler lit up Zacha with a brief dragon's breath and without any hesitation, engulfing the dragonborn in a layer of fierce and violent magical fire.
The two blood knights yelled and stormed forward. Before they could even slash the fire dragon more than three times, they were slammed into the walls of the hall by a wicked dragon's tail. The terrifying snapping of bones was clear for all to hear. The two blood knights had almost been turned into blood paste. Even the runic longswords they had used to soften the blow were bent at a scary angle.
Though they were both Second Grade creatures, a rampaging fire dragon had an overwhelmingly immense advantage against the vampires.
"Don't confront it directly; keep moving around while attacking it."
As the commander of this battle, Greem's feelings were the most solemn of them all. He yelled out orders as he tossed out the Flame FIend of Terror while transforming into a blazing Flame Fiend himself.
Two giant Flame Fiends, who were as large as himself, simultaneously and suddenly appeared in the lava hall. The Second Grade fire dragon wreaking havoc throughout the battlefield stopped his attack and assessed the two new enemies from a distance.
The atmosphere in the battlefield abruptly froze!
The Goblin Shredder that had been blown away by the fire dragon once again approached with heavy footsteps and stood at the side of the two Flame Fiends. On the other end, Dragonborn Zacha had barely been able to extinguish the hot flames on his body with the powers of electricity. He stood up, charred and burnt.
The four dragonslayers stood side by side, forming an impenetrable wall of iron and steel, standing right in front of Fire Dragon Bamler. Meanwhile, Mary beat her crimson bat wings and descended behind the fire dragon, at a distance, sealing of his only exit. The two blood knights, on the other hand, coughed up blood as they desperately stuffed some kind of potion that resembled a blood sac into their mouths. As their flesh snapped and crackled, their broken bones and smashed organs recovered at a miraculous speed.
Fire Dragon Bamler's gaze finally turned serious for the first time.
He had absolute confidence in smashing any one of these enemies here to pieces and roasting them into cinders if he engaged them in a one on one duel. However, when they banded together and wound themselves like a tight rope, the price he would have to pay for victory became immense.
However, the wealth and treasures he had spent several hundred years to accumulate were hidden right in the bedroom behind him. If he were to escape or be defeated, these treasures would no longer be his. The moment that thought appeared in his mind, Fire Dragon Bamler went berserk. Blood shot up his eyes, and his entire body radiated an intense and fearsome killing intent.
Without further provocation, Fire Dragon Bamler opened his mouth and let out a drawn-out dragon's roar that intimidated everyone on the battlefield. He then lunged straight at Greem with a fierce expression.
He could clearly tell that these adepts hailed this evil male adept as their leader. As long as he dealt with this adept, the enemy's threat would immediately be cut in half.
The group of humans was once again entangled with the dragon as a terrifying battle that shook the entire underground space broke out.
The second round of conflict lasted only seven minutes.
The first ones to be expelled from the battlefield were still the two blood knights.
They had been uncontested and unchallenged in their battles against the forest elves in Faen Plane. However, in this brutal dragonslaying battle, they were the first to be thrown out due to their bodies being 'too weak.'
Pa, pa!
The two blood knights were once again smashed into the hard stone walls, forming two human-shaped marks in the walls. The fronts of their bodies that had been hit by the dragon's wings were so smashed up that they were a pulp of blood and flesh that no one could recognize. They were stuck on the wall like paintings. They struggled with all their strength and still couldn't get themselves off of the wall.
The second person to be thrown out was Dragonborn Zacha.
He might have been wearing a mental defense magical equipment on him, but the fear of dragons ingrained into his soul origin caused him to be unavoidably terrified of that aura of might. Another dragon's aura of might intimidated his soul, and a heavy, sharp dragon claw smacked him away.
The part hit by the dragon's claw was severely depressed, and the three claw marks had left behind grievous wounds. If it weren't for a tornado erupting from the wind indurium armor negating a portion of the damage, a good half of Zacha's body would have been torn off, leaving him severely wounded.
Zacha only stopped rolling after slamming into a stone wall.
Without another word, he took out the various life potions from his pouch and drank them as fast as he could. After following Greem, he had also learned how to regenerate quickly with the use of medicines like the adepts did. If he were to rely on his robust body to heal itself regardless of the damage, as he had always done in the past, then he would have no chance to rejoin the battle today!
Smacking away the dragonborn had also caused Bamler to fall under the wild revenge of the dragonslaying squad.
Greem's Fire Core Explosion quickly exploded on the fire dragon's chest, leaving a massive wound there. Dragon's blood poured out of the injury, falling on the ground and igniting it and turning into yet another sea of fire. Meanwhile, the Flame Fiend of Terror charged forward without any regard for its safety and severed the fire dragon's left wing with a single slash of its magma flame sword.
The fire dragon roared in pain and crouched down, using the tough horn on its head to gore the Flame Fiend's chest and stir it around.
The Flame Fiend of Terror tossed its massive sword aside and gripped the dragon's horn with its thick magma hands, starting a contest of strength against the creature with its very own body.
The water-tank sized hole became even more extensive and broader as they fought.
Boiling lava spilled forth from the opening, pouring all over the fire dragon's face and scalding it, causing it to roar without end.
