Chapter Twenty-Four: The Fires of Ice and the Spark of Arrogance: Humans and Dignity Under the Moon Part Three

This man is using level 5 magic, which is equivalent to the mid-level of Soul Awakening.

Many fireballs were launched toward Mia and me.

This sudden explosion disturbed the surrounding trees as Mia and I flew through the sky.

He continued to launch fireballs toward us.

There were a large number of fireballs that lit up the evening, and because of that, the scene was terrifying. Had we remained on the ground, we would have become roasted dragons.

Suddenly, the old man's figure disappeared.

All that remained was a fleeting mirage.

The old man said, "It's over, little dragon."

In less than ten seconds, the old man reappeared, standing in the sky.

He's capable of flying?

He was 400 meters in the air!

This means he is already at level five!

In the next moment, the sky suddenly became filled with fiery arrows.

Sssssskreeetch!

Sssssskreeetch!

Sssssskreeetch!

He launched them all toward Mia and me!

We couldn't completely dodge them.

The dragon scales made a sound upon impact, and after a short time, they opened up.

The old man said, "Surrender now, and maybe I'll make your death painless."

I responded to him using the same fire, while Mia used the cold flame to attack him from a different direction.

The old man said, "Little dragon, let me show you a glimpse of real magic."

Suddenly, a bright light spread.

Then, it gradually began to heat up, and after a short time, it became incredibly hot!

In the next moment, a massive fireball appeared in the sky, about to burn everything in its path!

I felt danger.

This… was the greatest threat I've faced since I was in the Vampire Ancestor's court.

However, I was not afraid to face this fireball.

My body and Mia's had been strengthened by Emperor-level body-strengthening pills, and our bloodline had been upgraded to the Emperor level, greatly enhancing our physical strength. An attack at this level would only cause us non-fatal injuries.

Moreover, we are red dragons! We bathe in fiery volcanoes, and fire attacks lose much of their effectiveness due to our natural resistance to fire.

At this moment, the fireball was as bright as the sun.

The light it emitted was so powerful that those who were a thousand miles away could see it.

The sky, which was originally dark, turned white as if it were daytime due to the intense light.

This power… it's terrifyingly overwhelming!

At this moment, the light flashed, and the massive fireball descended from the sky.

The ground trembled, and everything in its path began to melt.

This is extremely terrifying… as expected from level 5 magic!

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom!

After three seconds, the effect of the fireball ended.

The old man was stunned at this moment, and shock was clearly visible in his eyes.

This was because I was still standing in my place! However, there was blood from some dragon scales being scorched. I was injured, but it wasn't a serious injury, and the same applied to Mia.

The old man said, "How is this possible?!"

At this moment, his hair began to slowly turn entirely red. At the same time, his body was engulfed in flames.

His aura increased again!

Suddenly, he broke through and reached level 6 magic!

The old man said, "You forced me to do this, and you will pay the price!"

He consumed his life force to temporarily break through to level 6!

Without waiting for him to attack, I opened my mouth and attacked him with the cold flame!

At the same time, Mia attacked him using her tail, cutting off his left leg!

"Aaaah!"

The old man screamed in pain, not expecting that Mia and I would attack him at the same time in this moment!

The cold flame froze his body and sealed the magical energy within him, causing him to be unable to dodge Mia's tail, which resulted in his leg being severed.

Freezing the energy for several seconds…

It is one of the properties of the Cold Sun and Moon Flame!

It is extremely useful in such critical situations!

And although the old man's power was enhanced by burning his life force, thanks to the Cold Sun and Moon Flame, his chances of winning are uncertain!

The old man said, "I am already consuming my life force! By any means, I will drag you down with me!"

He roared loudly, then flew towards me quickly!

I didn't know what he intended to do, but I didn't wait for him to reach me. I flew away from him, but he continued to chase me through the sky above the forest.

The wind's sound was whistling by my ears.

I hadn't chosen to ally with Mia. Although Mia's combat abilities were still strong, it was better to deceive the enemy and make him forget about Mia's presence, so that she could launch a surprise, lethal attack.

Mia, who was hiding among the clouds, was watching from a distance, and deep worry appeared in her eyes.

On the ground, there was a hidden figure.

I noticed this person as soon as they entered the battlefield, and because of that, I decided to carry out this chase.

Because with this person's presence, victory became certain.

This old man… he is doomed to die here.

During the chase, the old man began casting terrifying magic spells.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a black lightning bolt, sharp as a blade, pierced the old man's body, who was busy chasing me, and his blood scattered like a red flower blown by the wind in the sky.

The old man gasped and looked at the culprit.

It was indeed… an old black snake, with a spear-like head, capable of piercing the world and destroying the strongest weapons!

That's right, the person who attacked the old man was the old snake!

He was no longer just an ordinary snake after consuming the Emperor-level marrow cleansing and blood purification pills. He had awakened the black serpent clan's bloodline, capable of piercing the world!

His form changed, and he became a black snake, as dark as ink, with a spear-like head, capable of piercing anything!

After taking the great pills to calm the body, he gained a permanent and essential increase in his physical strength.

This old snake was no longer something anyone could bully.

A fifth-level old man? He was no longer a match for him. If he wanted, he could kill him with a single strike of his tail.

Meanwhile, the old man's body fell from the sky, his eyes wide open… he was just a body without a soul.

I didn't waste any time.

I went to the corpse, cut off his head, ending his life.

Then, I searched the old man's body and found a storage pendant.

It can store the ring I got from the vampire ancestor!

Without hesitation, I hung it around my neck.

After that, I headed towards where the old snake and Mia were.

Anyway, I found something interesting on his body.

In fact, this fifth-level old man was an important character in the story that comes after William's novel…
