Chapter 23: Smash Them All
brush!
Amidst the shattered rubble of the collapsing altar, a massive, dark red figure burst forth, leaving a trail of afterimages behind it due to its incredible speed.
In just a moment, the dark red figure collided violently with the black-armored earth dragon that pounced on the jackal shaman.
boom!
The materialized impact burst compressed the air, creating a shockwave that sent the surrounding jackal monsters flying and cracked the ground rocks.
The monster at the center of the smoke and dust, more than five meters long and resembling a mantis with its body covered in dark red carapace, was knocked back by the Black Armored Earth Dragon, its four long legs carving four deep grooves more than ten meters long on the ground.
Clang!
The mantis monster unfolded its two crossed scythe-like forelimbs, revealing its triangular head behind it. A pair of dark red compound eyes occupied most of its head, radiating a chilling gaze.
At this moment, the mantis monster's scythe-like forelimbs were also covered with a blackish-green light, and the sharpness it emitted cut through the air, making even the black-armored earth dragon feel a sense of threat.
These scythes can break through defenses!
"Damn, that shaman monster can not only summon stronger monsters to fight, but it can also enchant this monster. Just by looking at its appearance, it has the feel of a BOSS."
With a low growl, the Black Armored Earth Dragon slightly adjusted its body, shifting its center of gravity backward, pressing down its more than three-meter-long tail, and raising its thick and powerful forepaws and upper body slightly.
Faced with this powerful monster, Chen Zheng couldn't help but take it seriously.
Just then, the rocks beneath the mantis monster's feet shattered, and its body shot out, instantly appearing on the black-armored earth dragon's head, slashing down with two scythes from the left and right.
Before it even landed, the sharp edge emanating from the monster's scythe forelimbs tore through the air, creating two red cutting marks in mid-air.
boom!
The black-armored earth dragon, surrounded by demonic energy, also unleashed astonishing speed. In the instant the mantis demon was airborne, it swung its tail, which was more than three meters long, and ripped through the air, sweeping across the sky.
This attack targets the mantis monster's slender waist, using its three-meter-long, bloodthirsty tail spikes to strike the enemy ahead of time.
Furthermore, the mantis monster had already lost its momentum in mid-air and could not use it for leverage, making this attack unavoidable.
But the moment the black-armored earth dragon turned, the mantis monster seemed to sense the danger in advance. Its carapace opened, and a pair of folded wings popped out.
Whoosh! The mantis monster in mid-air suddenly retreated more than ten meters, dodging the attack and turning to sweep its tail.
The moment it landed, the mantis monster sprang out again, appearing to the left of the black-armored earth dragon, its sharp scythe slashing towards the dragon's neck.
Clang! Black mist swirled around the dragon claw, which gleamed with a metallic sheen, and it swung back to block the scythe. Sparks flew as they collided.
However, the mantis monster had a pair of scythe-like forelimbs. While one was blocked by the black-armored earth dragon, the other scythe-like forelimb had already slashed at the black-armored earth dragon's waist.
Tear!!
The incredibly sharp scythe clashed with the scales, producing a piercing sound of metal tearing apart, creating a crack more than half a meter long.
This is the first time the Black Armored Earth Dragon's defenses have been breached since its evolution. Although only its scales were shattered and its lower skin was not injured, it is enough to demonstrate the sharpness of the Mantis Monster's twin blades.
boom!
The black-armored earth dragon, having been slashed, swept its tail like a venomous python, but the mantis monster instantly retreated and dodged.
The mantis monster, more than twenty meters away, lowered its body, folded its twin blades, and stared coldly at the black-armored earth dragon with its huge compound eyes, searching for an opportunity to attack.
The black-armored earth dragon's pupils contracted slightly, a look of surprise appearing in its eyes: "This monster can predict my attacks?"
The opponent's reaction to the previous attack with its tail was quick, but the previous exchange of injuries failed to harm the opponent, especially since the opponent dodged the attack the moment its tail made its move.
"It's fast, powerful, and has the ability to anticipate attacks, but its defense seems average. If you seize the opportunity, you can kill it in one hit." The Black Armored Earth Dragon took a deep breath and became even more cautious.
As the two demons confronted each other, the battle between the jackal demons and the dog-headed demons became increasingly fierce, and in just a short time, dozens of dog-headed demons had died.
Awooo! The jackal shaman in the distance crawled up from the rubble, letting out a rapid, sharp howl.
Hundreds of jackal monsters, who were fighting the kobolds, turned around, brandishing their weapons, and surged towards the black-armored earth dragon, preparing to cooperate with the mantis monsters to surround and kill it.
Roar! The black-armored earth dragon's eyes flickered slightly, and with a roar, its body retreated instead of advancing, suddenly charging into the surging hundred jackal demons.
Bang bang bang!
With claws waving and tails sweeping, more than a dozen jackal demons were killed in the blink of an eye, limbs and fragments flying everywhere, and blood spraying and staining the ground red.
Seeing the tribe's monsters suffering heavy casualties, the jackal shaman let out another urgent howl, its dark red eyes fixed on the mantis monster.
Hiss! The mantis monster, which had been standing on the periphery, coldly watching the black-armored earth dragon looking for an opportunity, rubbed its mouth together, making a violent noise.
Seeing that the mantis monster didn't move, the jackal shaman howled even more urgently, his eyes bloodshot.
Bang!
The mantis monster's feet shattered the rocks beneath its feet, its wings unfurled, and it instantly launched itself forward, appearing behind the black-armored earth dragon with a blur of motion.
Roar!
The black-armored earth dragon roared, suddenly turned around, and looked at the mantis monster that was being slashed down by its twin blades without dodging or blocking.
Tear!!
With the impact and the added enchantment, the monster's twin blades slashed at the Black Armored Earth Dragon's shoulders, tearing through its scales and skin, before finally being clamped down by its powerful muscles.
"Got you?" The black-armored earth dragon's lips curled into a ferocious grin.
Bang! The black-armored earth dragon slammed its outstretched claws shut, grabbing the mantis monster tightly the instant it attacked.
So what if you can predict the attack? I just won't attack.
And no matter what kind of creature it is, it will pause for a moment when it attacks, and that is the opportunity.
Whoosh! The moment it embraced the mantis monster, the Black Armored Earth Dragon's chest suddenly swelled and its mouth opened.
Awooo!!
The jackal shaman, who witnessed this scene from afar, let out a horrified howl, while the mantis monster's sense of danger also began to issue frantic warnings.
Under the threat of death, the mantis demon's internal power erupted, its forelimbs rebounded, and its four legs kicked against the black-armored earth dragon. The force of the eruption was so strong that it even broke free from the black-armored earth dragon's claws.
boom!
The moment the mantis monster retreated, a sonic boom roared, creating rings of black shockwaves that swept across a twenty-meter radius.
The first to be hit, the mantis monster, had its compound eyes, composed of tens of thousands of tiny eyes, explode, splattering transparent, viscous liquid everywhere, and its body stiffened and fell to the ground in mid-air.
Amidst the billowing dust, the black-armored earth dragon flashed and appeared before the stiff mantis monster.
Boom! Black demonic energy swirled around the dragon's claw, which gathered the full power of the Black Armored Earth Dragon, slammed into the mantis demon's head.
The ground shook and cracked instantly, and scarlet blood foam mixed with dark red shell fragments sprayed from its head.
The mantis monster, its head nearly shattered, twitched violently a few times before relaxing.
Roar!
The black-armored earth dragon retreated with explosive force, its body suddenly standing upright, its left claw grabbing the corpse of the mantis monster as it roared to the sky.
Coupled with the black demonic energy surrounding him, his aura was incredibly violent and ruthless at this moment.
Awooo!! The dog-headed monster and the minotaur were greatly encouraged by this scene.
At this moment, the enhancements of those jackal monsters began to fade, the black and green light on their bodies disappeared, and their morale was completely shattered after the offering monsters were killed.
A howl! The remaining hundred or so jackal demons scattered and fled in all directions.
Seeing this, the jackal shaman's eyes also showed fear, and he stepped back, preparing to escape.
Bang!
The dog-headed shaman jumped down from the rock several meters high and smashed his staff hard on the jackal shaman's head, causing him to fall to the ground bleeding profusely.
"Chirp chirp chirp! Run, where do you want to run?" The dog-headed shaman chanted in crude abyssal language as he excitedly pounded the jackal shaman's head until the latter stopped moving completely.
