Chapter 575 - 310: Incinerating Explosion!
Just as Raine successfully fused with the colorful giant dragon icon.
In the distant Bator Hell.
The Avernus Layer.
Inside an incredibly spacious lair, a colossal form with a five-colored dragon head suddenly opened its center red dragon eye, looking puzzled.
"What was that sudden urge?"
The Five-Colored Dragon Queen Tiamat had just been awakened by an inexplicable stir, seeming as if its bloodline was suddenly incited from a distant region.
Though this disturbance was subtle and incredibly hard to detect, as a Divine Being, mistakes in such perception are rare.
"Hmm? Disappeared?" But when Tiamat extended a dragon claw to cast a spell to trace the source, she only determined the location was on the Valzeg Continent before she completely lost the target.
This caused Tiamat to fall into deep thought.
....
Valzeg Continent.
Soladin Kingdom, Dorne City, third floor of the Olsen Clan Castle.
Raine glanced downward.
Soon, he quickly skimmed through the dozens of spell-like abilities that appeared as if on a screen, settling on the last one:
....
Icebound Shackles lv4 (Seventh Level), effect: Release a ring of extreme cold energy shock wave within a 50-meter radius, freezing all targets in the area long-term inside a giant ice coffin.
Blood Poison Mist lv4 (Eighth Level), effect: Release a highly poisonous mist mixed with dragon blood within a 50-meter radius around oneself. Because it is mixed with dragon blood, this poison cannot be dispelled by spells below the Ninth Level, nor can the mist be dissipated by spells below the Ninth Level.
Lightning Storm lv4 (Eighth Level), effect: Conduct multiple lightning strikes on all targets within a 200-meter radius, with added effects of electrical penetration and paralysis.
(Note: Under special weather conditions, the spell effect may be reduced or its power may be increased.)
...
’Not only did it retain the killer moves of the various colored dragons from before, but it also gained a boost in power.’ Feeling as though filled with infinite strength, Raine’s eyes flickered, his thoughts stirring slightly.
He remembered clearly, the previously obtained adult white dragon bloodline, the ’Icebound Shackles’ Seventh Level spell, was merely lv2, but now, it was prominently at lv4.
It was clearly enhanced!
The sensation of power surging through his entire body, like the joy of rebirth, was due to the mighty support of the ’Multi-Colored Giant Dragon Physique lv4’.
His gaze shifted slightly.
The attribute panel revealed the following:
....
[Power: 19 (+20)]
[Agility: 12 (+16)]
[Constitution: 18 (+20)]
[Intelligence: 28 (+8)]
[Perception: 11 (+8)]
[Charm: 10 (+8)]
...
Power is only 1 point away from reaching the threshold of 40 points, and Constitution is short by 2 points.
Based on previous conversations with the Dwarf Elders in Iron Hills, Raine roughly estimated that 40 points would be nearing the Legendary Level of strength.
Of course, the biggest difference between Legendary and Transcendent is not simply an increase in power, but rather something else.
Suddenly!
Hmm?
Before he had the chance to continue observing, Raine suddenly lifted his head to look ahead.
Unanticipatedly, just over ten seconds had passed, and the battle in the central square of the castle below had drastically changed.
A Balrog Flame Demon, towering over ten meters and wielding a flame whip and Storm Sword, cornered Meredith into a corner of the castle’s inner square, while on the side, the ’Unclean One’ Hagen was rapidly advancing from the flank, about to form a pincer attack on Meredith.
Both Leonore and the two other unfamiliar high-tier Mages were being held off by the opposing ’Plague Messenger’ White Mann and another unfamiliar high-tier Mage, unable to effectively block or assist.
In fact, facing the combination of Red Dragon Mage, Plague Messenger, and Fallen Paladin, undoubtedly, whether in terms of error tolerance or combat endurance, they were stronger than the combination of Leonore, Harold, and Chandler, the three high-tier Spellcasters.
Especially after Red Dragon Mage Feirmer’s opening super magic ’Instantaneous Spell’ coupled with summoning a Flame Demon was released, further amplifying the trio of Leonore’s weakness of lacking a top-tier tank.
Of course, it needs to be clarified about the top-tier tank here.
Because whether for Leonore, Harold, or Chandler, they could conjure ’Summon Elemental’ in an instant to summon numerous Elemental creatures ranging from Challenge Level four to six, such as powerful water elementals, earth elementals, and so on.
But evidently, when facing the Balrog Flame Demon with a Challenge Level as high as eighteen or nineteen, this wouldn’t be very effective, especially since there were already over a dozen powerful water elementals on the field using water arrow spells to try to distract him.
The no-fly array became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Although Red Dragon Mage Feirmer and the other two also couldn’t fly, the problem was that Leonore and the other two were all Spellcasters, which was even more disadvantageous.
If not for the immediate summoning of more than a dozen powerful water elementals and Meredith assisting from the side to disrupt the Balrog Flame Demon, the situation might have been unsustainable long ago.
Third floor.
"Raine, I have experience, I’ll go fend off the Balrog Flame Demon." Elder Grenum tightly gripped the Two-Handed Warhammer across in front of him, glancing at the raging Balrog Flame Demon in the square below.
"No, Elder Grenum, leave the Flame Demon to me. Please go intercept ’Unclean One’ Hagen."
As soon as the words fell, Raine’s war boots hit the ground, and he leaped from the third floor.
Simultaneously, he quickly placed the bloodlines of ’Drow Mother’, ’Hate Lord’, and ’Elite Enchanting Demon’ into the bloodline slots emptied after the fusion.
