Chapter 686 - 413: Breakthrough on the Battlefield? Four Claws Shatter the Legendary Dream!
At this moment of emergency, time seemed to stretch and slow down.
The Rock Giant let out an earth-shattering roar, swinging its massive Rock War Axe with the power to cleave mountains, striking towards the oncoming Red Iron Dragon.
Swish!
However, the Red Iron Dragon, in a full-speed charge, astonishingly drew a spiral trajectory at such speed, with inconceivable agility and precision, avoiding the range of the giant axe’s attack.
The next second, the Red Flame Omen Star collided solidly with the chest of the Rock Giant!
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, as immense kinetic energy and violent force accumulated and compressed crazily at the point of impact.
Crack!
A deafening shattering sound echoed through the sky.
The Rock Giant’s reinforced, extremely thick rock body began collapsing, shattering, and disintegrating layer by layer from the point of impact, like glass hit by a giant hammer!
The Red Flame Omen Star pierced through this thick body, bursting out from its back, bringing with it flying debris in all directions.
But this was only the beginning.
The red meteor formed by the Red Iron Dragon did not stop; it sketched out an abrupt zigzag in the air, and from another tricky angle, charged again, forcefully piercing through the already broken body of the Mountain Giant!
Repeating this several times, charging and penetrating.
This enormous body could no longer hold.
It turned into countless rocks of varying sizes, like a massive meteor shower, rolling down from mid-air, causing the earth to rumble incessantly.
The true body of King of Mountains Groom also fell with this shower of stones.
As soon as he landed heavily, before he could even steady himself, he suddenly saw a red figure break through the dense dust and appear by his side as if it had teleported.
The Red Iron Dragon, surging forward amidst the falling stone rain, its claws covered in dense Dragon Qi, grabbed at his ribs.
Shrrip!
The Red Lotus Claw tore into the aura with a tooth-aching ripping sound!
This time, the light of the mountain bulwark twisted violently, forcibly being torn open a gap, and the claw left a deep crack on the Mountain King’s body.
"Ah—!"
Groom let out an angry roar, swinging the Earth Ripper horizontally, trying to force back the Red Iron Dragon.
However, Galos, fully activated in his Red Lotus state, had a speed that completely overwhelmed the wounded him.
In a flash of red shadow, Galos was already on his other side, and his Dragon Tail, like a heavy hammer, struck hard at his knee joint.
Snap!
A chilling cracking sound was heard.
The Mountain King’s knee area instantly shattered and deformed, and he knelt heavily on one knee, causing the ground to sink in.
The surrounding rocks, as if summoned, quickly gathered to heal the wound on his knee.
He roared and swung his battle axe again.
Galos moved continually around him, always managing to dodge the deadly edge of the axe at the last moment, meanwhile, his Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, Dragon Wings... every part of his body turned into a weapon, relentlessly striking the Mountain King, tearing the mountain bulwark apart again and again, leaving hideous wounds on his body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The aftermath of their battle continued to destroy everything around them.
The nearby peaks were swept by the Dragon Tail, their tops breaking and collapsing; the hard rock walls were cleaved open by the edge of the battle axe, leaving giant fissures; the entire battlefield was devastated, as if it had been through a natural disaster.
Galos danced like a dancer of death on a knife’s edge.
His repeated advances, dodges, and counterattacks were seamless, his attacks continuous and relentless, like a storm, pressing King of Mountains Groom to the point where he could hardly breathe.
In Groom’s long life, he had encountered many opponents skilled in speed.
His usual strategy was to rely on his formidable defense and vitality to withstand the opponent’s initial onslaught, then seize the moment when the opponent’s attack falters or they are exhausted, launching a thunderous counterattack to severely wound or even kill them.
However, the Red Iron Dragon excelled not only in speed.
During the battle just now, the Mountain King did indeed, with his rich experience and anticipation, seize two rare opportunities.
The blade of the Earth Ripper hacks truly into the Red Iron Dragon, leaving deep wounds visible to the bone.
But what spurted from those wounds was not crimson blood, but fiercely burning flames, with no diminishment of the Red Iron Dragon’s aura.
Moreover, Galos could always endure the damage at minimal cost.
Those two successful attacks landed on his thickest-skinned parts, not weaknesses.
Facing a Red Iron Dragon whose speed was unbelievably fast, with a dodge rate high to the point of despair, and whose body toughness and defense far exceeded his estimates, the Mountain King’s aura grew increasingly weak, his actions slower and more sluggish.
He finally realized the insurmountable gap between himself and this legendary King of Molten Iron who could reverse-slay legends.
Even with a decent piece of equipment, he could not bridge the gap.
A minute later.
Galos avoided a powerful sweep from the Mountain King, then suddenly elevated his body before diving down like a meteor with the force of a mountain.
Breathing heavily, the Mountain King’s chest heaved like a dilapidated bellows.
He lifted his head, watching the figure in the sky growing larger.
On the flame-red dragon body, entrenched burning patterns, four ferocious dragon arms poised for action, with a pair of vertical pupils, deep and calm.
