Chapter 182 Little Dragon Man Battles the Molten Giant
A huge crystal, several meters in diameter, was embedded in its chest, pulsating like a heart and continuously providing it with terrifying energy.
Its single, dark red eye stared blankly at the uninvited guests on the shore.
This is their opponent in this trial: the Molten Giant!
"Ludick!" Leon shouted in a low voice.
"Yes, Captain," Ludick responded quickly upon hearing the order.
He immediately tapped his wand repeatedly, and a soft holy light enveloped the team members who were about to join the battle like a veil.
He immediately cast Holy Light Shield and Blessing of Power on everyone.
"Leave it to me, the princess!"
Sensing the power surge, Maya's fighting spirit instantly boiled, and her petite body unleashed astonishing power.
She leaped onto the nearest floating platform, and with the momentum of her charge, the heavy warhammer slammed into the Molten Giant's ankle.
"clang!"
Sparks flew and a muffled thud followed, but the stone giant was almost completely unharmed.
Clearly, due to Olivia's presence, the guardians summoned in this trial are far stronger than those of previous guardians.
The Molten Giant was attacked, and its red one-eyed creature instantly locked onto Maya.
Then it raised its massive hand, powerful enough to crush earth beasts, and slammed it down on Maya's head, bringing with it a wave of heat.
"Helena!" Leon called out, and with a swift tap of his wand.
"【Water Binding Spell】!" Helena understood immediately, her wand glowing as several streams of water appeared out of thin air.
The water flowed like a serpent, coiling around the giant's scorching arm. The moment they touched, there was a "sizzle" sound, and water mist immediately filled the air.
Helena's [Water Binding] spell was instantly evaporated, but it did slightly slow down her descent.
Almost simultaneously, Li Ang unleashed his Storm Sword, the azure storm blade striking the giant's wrist joint with pinpoint accuracy. The combined interference of the storm and the water finally bought Maya that precious opportunity to retreat.
With a nimble roll, she narrowly avoided the giant hand that could have crushed her into a pulp.
"Hmph! So what if you're strong?" Olivia's red vertical pupils flashed with a hint of tension when she saw Maya in danger.
With a whoosh, enormous dragon wings unfurled behind her, and her hands were instantly covered in hard, dark red dragon scales, transforming into sharp dragon claws.
With a flap of her wings, she charged toward the molten giant like a cannonball, her dragon claws, imbued with the power of a dragon, fiercely grabbing at the giant's waist.
"Sizzle—!"
A screeching sound of friction and stone shattering rang out as the dragon claws carved deep furrows into the stone giant's body, sending fragments of stone flying.
The immense impact caused the molten giant's massive body to stagger and nearly lose its balance.
However, this attack thoroughly enraged the Molten Giant, and the molten core on its chest suddenly lit up with a blinding red light.
A dark red ray, as thick as a bucket and containing extreme heat, suddenly shot towards Olivia in mid-air!
Olivia showed no weakness, took a deep breath, and dark red light gathered deep in her throat. Then, she spewed out a burst of scorching dragon flame to meet the high-temperature ray!
"boom-!"
Dragon flames and rays collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar and terrifying energy turbulence.
However, Olivia's dragonfire, powerful enough to melt steel, was unable to extinguish the ray this time. The dragonfire and the ray were locked in a stalemate in the air for a while, and finally, their energy was exhausted and they canceled each other out.
When Olivia saw that her dragon flames were actually neutralized by the opponent's energy rays, a hint of surprise flashed in her red vertical pupils, which was then replaced by an even stronger sense of resentment.
"Hmph, don't think that was my limit. I'll show you the real dragon flame soon!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the molten giant had just released its ray and the core light on its chest was slightly dimmed, she took a deep breath, as if she had inhaled the scorching air around her.
Her chest bulged high, and the dark red light deep in her throat burned brighter than ever before.
Immediately, a dragon flame several times thicker than before, almost incandescent in color, roared out like a destructive torrent.
The dragon flames struck the massive, pulsating crystal on the chest of the molten giant with pinpoint accuracy.
"boom-!"
A deafening explosion echoed through the vast underground space, and blazing white flames instantly engulfed the entire chest of the molten giant. The intense heat of the dragon flames caused the surrounding rock walls to melt.
However, as the flames subsided, what was alarming was that although the molten core was flashing intensely and had fine cracks on its surface, it remained intact overall and was absorbing heat from the surrounding lava river at a visible speed, with the cracks rapidly repairing themselves.
"Olivia!" Leon, who had been watching the battle closely, shouted immediately upon seeing the situation, "This monster has extremely high fire resistance! Stop using fire, use physical attacks!"
"Understood, Captain!" Although Olivia was somewhat unwilling, she understood that Li Ang's judgment was correct.
She let out a low growl, and the flames that rose around her were no longer used to spew dragon fire, but to further change her form.
Her petite body swelled again, her legs stretched and deformed in the firelight, covered with thick, dark red dragon scales, and transformed into powerful hind claws.
At the same time, a long, glossy dragon tail lashed out with a "snap," striking the air with a crisp crack.
At this moment, apart from still maintaining a roughly human outline and human appearance, her limbs and tail have completely transformed into a dragon, and she exudes a suffocatingly fierce aura.
Although this is not the complete dragon form and cannot unleash 100% of the dragon's power, even 40% of its power is terrifying enough!
"Roar!" Olivia let out a roar with the might of a dragon, and slammed her legs into the ground, shattering the floating platform beneath her feet.
Like a red cannonball fired from a gun, she charged headlong into the molten giant!
The style of the next battle changed drastically.
Under the relentless attacks of Li Ang's [Storm Sword] and the control of Helena's [Water Binding], the situation unfolded.
After transforming into a half-dragon, Olivia almost completely dominated the Molten Giant.
She deftly dodged the giant's clumsy swings; her dragon claws were like the sharpest swords, each strike leaving deep claw marks on the stone giant's hard body and shattering large swathes of rock.
Her thick dragon tail was like a steel whip, lashing the giant and causing him to stagger backward.
The molten giant roared angrily, its single eye flashing red light as it attempted to fire another high-temperature ray. However, Olivia anticipated its attack and struck its arm joint with a fierce tail whip, interrupting its spellcasting.
The stone giant waved its massive paws, trying to swat away the annoying insect, but Olivia, with her petite size and the aid of her dragon wings, skillfully dodged it time and time again, adding new wounds to its arms and torso instead.
The scales of victory seem to be rapidly tipping in Li Ang's favor.
