As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

"The Lionhearted Prince, the descendant of Iron Blood, and... the filthy blood of the false king. I never thought that such heinous criminals would all be here. It saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

"Okay, let's start with you—"

Arrogance exploded.

Natsu's figure disappeared in a flash.

The Royal Griffin broke through the sound barrier in an instant, and with its blazing, full-strength fire fist, it was like a red comet going against the current, marking the beginning of the battle.

Malygos was knocked down by a punch and fell into the mountain wall.

"What? The Seven Heavenly Dragons are just..."

"It would be a bit troublesome if I were actually hit by your flames."

Natsu was stunned, then he realized that his fist was actually held down by Malygos. No matter how hard he tried, it stopped at the limit and could not move forward.

The ice dragon's scales hissed ominously under the crimson flames, but Malygos raised his hand.

The air wave exploded purely by brute force.

Natsu and the griffin were thrown out like a rag doll, rolling on the ground with a bleeding head.

Only then did he understand that the reason why the other party was beaten back just now was because he didn't care.

Even though he was protected by dragon scales and crashed into the rock wall, what could he do? But he was made of flesh and blood, and the same situation would have already caused him serious injuries.

Before Natsu could get up, the dragon wings flashed and the ice dragon girl arrived first.

At the same time, blood was flying.

The Mithril Sword was unsheathed, and Carl's full-strength [Blood and Qi Burst] shook the surroundings.

The Ice Dragon Girl didn't even look back, she just raised her hand casually.

The lingering energy and blood were frozen by the frost mist, and the sword that was strong enough to cut through the dragon's scales was also repelled by the ice crystal armor.

Carl suddenly remembered.

Among all dragons, the Ice Dragon has the strongest physical defense.

Fortunately, Natsu threw a fireball in time.

It was not to hurt the enemy, but to use the explosion to push him and Carl back.

Without any communication, the two men had just closed the distance when they launched another attack from both sides.

This time it was Carl who took the initiative.

[Forge the sword with qi and blood].

Hundreds of swords, spears, swords and halberds made of mithril turned into a cage, completely trapping Malygos inside and then falling down.

Malygos opened his hands, and a cold wind burst out, repelling the mithril storm with terrifying power, completely solidifying it.

Then he kicked Carl who was coming towards him.

Just a blow of brute force caused Carl's figure to fly hundreds of meters away.

However, at the same time, Natsu's fire fist attacked again.

First, Carl blocked the view, and then Natsu launched the attack. It was a reasonable tactic, but it was completely within Malygos's expectations.

A silver spear shrouded in blood and energy was chasing from the direction Carl flew from, which surprised her a little.

But that's all.

Malygos held the spear in one hand, solidified it, and crushed it with ease. With the other hand, he punched forward, colliding with Natsu's fire fist. Before the dragon scales were burned by the flames, the heavy blow had already knocked Natsu back again.

This level wasn't even considered a warm-up for her—

That's how it should be.

However, in the next breath, Malygos was surprised to find that the air flow behind him became slightly agitated.

The moment I turned around, the black-haired boy and the dark golden blade flashed into my sight.

why?

He actually let a Sequence 5 touch him from behind without even noticing?!

Unexpected but not alarming.

However, ordinary dragon tooth weapons alone are not enough to break through her defenses—

The next moment, dragon flames flashed.

Along with the faint roar of the fire dragon, [Jinmie] successfully hit the target with one sword. In the clash of swirling ice and fire, sword and scales, a sound of shattering was so clear and sharp.

After a successful attack, Roy did not pursue further, but retreated decisively. He did not confirm the outcome until the opponent put out the fire and revealed his true form.

Successful.

tick.

There were tiny sword marks on Malygos's stern face, and a tiny drop of blood was slowly dripping down.

Touching the mark of shame, Malygos murmured, "So that's how it is."

"The flames of Lionheart have a chance of hurting me, but because of the difference in our bloodlines, I need the more defensive Ironblood to create a flaw. But they are all feints."

The icy blue vertical lens locked onto Roy's figure: "You, who possess the power of fire, dragon fang, and lurking, are the main attacker."

"And this flame... Is that so? You have desecrated the heart of Balagas."

Malygos smiled coldly, revealing the twisted bloodlust that only dragons possess. "As expected, I'll start with you."

Roy was numb.

It seemed he had succeeded in enraging a dragon.

Chapter 56: Ant bites hurt

"Let's start killing you first."

The cold declaration was no mere boasting, but a verdict from the Ice Dragon King.

Every step he took was enough to shake the earth and the mountains.

The icy wind danced wildly, and the slender figure turned ferocious in an instant. The terrifying pressure turned into a biting snow and wind that raged in the center of the canyon. Countless flying dragons roared in unison, welcoming the arrival of the king.

The body that covered the sky and the sun pushed aside the clouds, and the silver-blue scales depicted the magnificence of snow-capped peaks. The ice dragon just stretched out its wings, and the countless ice crystals that fell were as sharp as blades, dazzling and deadly.

Only by facing the majesty of the Lord of the Sky can one personally feel that their pride is not without reason.

Compared to them, mortals are nothing more than ants.

Even Roy, who had personally faced many high-level transcendents, felt his heart tighten and his hair stand on end at this moment.

Unlike the red-blooded fire dragon that was only breathing its last breath, the opponent before him was a mythical creature in its prime!

Even the unruly Golden-winged Griffin became restless at this moment: "Brother, what should we do next?"

"run."

"what?"

Roy slapped it on the butt: "What are you standing there for? Run!"

Dragon claws attack.

Of all mythical creatures, dragons are also the best at brute force destruction and brute strength.

Just the slightest movement was like an iceberg coming down, casting a huge shadow.

The golden-winged griffin did not dare to delay and fled at the fastest speed, turning into a flash of light and escaping. It then crossed the glacier at the maximum distance and fled into the sky.

But Malygos followed closely behind. His body was tall enough that he didn't even need to flap his wings. He raised his hand and clawed again, making the golden flash unavoidable.

Until the huge fireball fell and exploded in Malygos's dragon head.

After transforming into a dragon, the defense of the dragon scales also increased to a higher level.

Natsu's blow, powerful enough to kill a pure-blooded dragon, couldn't penetrate the crystals on Malygos's body. However, the fireworks from the explosion briefly obscured his vision, creating an opening for the real attack.

The Iron-Blooded Knight riding a griffin had passed through the wind and snow and arrived at the feet of the dragon without knowing when.

When the devil sword rises, the wind blows blood red.

After being charged in advance by Roy, the [Blood Furnace Demon Sword] can launch a full-strength attack of Sequence 5 at any time without using too much force. On this basis, Carl also added [Qi and Blood Burst].

At the moment when the golden-winged griffin was about to be pounced on by the dragon's claws, a sword light like a pillar supporting the sky shot straight up and hit the dragon's claws, successfully pushing away the fatal blow a little.

It was this little bit that brought a glimmer of hope, allowing the Golden-winged Griffin to once again pass by the icy dragon claws at a dangerous distance.

Even so, the golden-winged griffin, which did not have the blessing of [Warm Off Cold], was frozen to death by the wind and snow, shivering and crying.

"Brother, quickly use your invincible pseudo-king bloodline to think of a solution!"

"Just run away!"

[Still as still as water].

Roy and [Cheese] concealed their aura.

He had personally experimented with this technique. As long as he didn't actively attack, it would be difficult for a normal Sequence 4 to lock onto his aura.

However, Malygos showed a hint of disdain.

"To repeat the same old tricks is to be helpless."

With a flip of the hand, large flakes of frost rose from the ground, turning into a terrifying cold wave visible to the naked eye.

Even if Malygos couldn't lock onto Roy's breath, the saturation attack was enough to cover a large area of ​​airspace.

As it expected, the frost and snow revealed the unusual lightning. The golden-winged griffin was blown to and fro by the snowy wind, its frost-covered figure standing out clearly.

Malygos laughed sinisterly and was about to chase again, but unexpectedly a loud shout came from above his head.

"Before you touch him, you have to get past me first!"

Natsu clasped his fists together and jumped up, like a heavy bomb falling from the sky with scorching majesty, smashing hard on Malygos' head.

The primordial flames surged violently. The flames from the [Hell Lion King] were worthy of the reputation of the strongest fire ability. Even the ice of the Frost Dragon melted rapidly under the extremely high temperature.

However, even though large amounts of protective frost turned into steam, the silver-blue scales themselves remained as solid as a rock, without the slightest hesitation.

The status of power, the restraint of attributes, the advantages that the two should have, all seem insignificant and pitiful under the overwhelming gap in bloodline levels.

This attack still failed to hurt Malygos at all, but it brought enough insult to make the Frost King furious.

"court death!"

Before Natsu could land his next blow, the ice dragon soared into the air, throwing him down in mid-air.

Just as the Lionhearted Prince was about to be beaten into a pulp, the blood-red light descended upon the battlefield again.

[Bloodline enlightenment].

The origin of [Iron Blood] is the true knight forged by generations of Ironblood Knights on the battlefields of life and death. It is both a sharp blade that cuts down the enemy and an indestructible shield.

The tall blood-red knight threw himself forward and pushed the icy dragon to the mountain wall. The mountain was shattered by the impact, and huge clods of earth fell like a torrential rain, causing the streams to dance wildly and the earth to sway.

The name "Iron Blood" that had led the knights of Iron Blood Ridge to escape death countless times and slew pure-blooded dragons countless times was not in vain.

But Malygos's eyes were calm.

"ridiculous."

It didn't even make a move.

To touch the dragon's body is to face the cold.

The blood-red knight had no chance to pursue and was frozen in the snow and wind.

Carl himself knelt on the ground with a pale face and blood oozing from his body.

The rapid pace of the battle left no time to digest the effects of the medicine. Both the physical injuries and the consumption of extraordinary strength had reached their limits.

There was no way he could resist at all. With just a push from the ice dragon, the knight's shadow turned into ice chips all over the sky and withered away.

No one can stop the Frost King's hunt anymore.

The power of ice spreads its wings and soars.

The mythical creatures of Sequence 4 are huge but not bulky.
