chapter 183 part 2
[Aura of Courage] triggered—On melee contact, the first instance of damage is a guaranteed Critical Hit!
[Weapon Extra Specialization] triggered—Slashing Damage +110%, Area Damage +50%.
[Fast Slash] Skill Damage +10%
The stacking of these three effects caused Tang Zheng's damage to momentarily burst to over three times his base attack power—a level of force beyond ordinary comprehension.
*Puchi!*
The hard, fiery-red scales on the ancient red dragon's chest were like fragile paper, easily shredded by the magic Greatsword as it cut deep into its body.
Gripping the sword hilt, Tang Zheng tried to slice the ancient dragon's chest wide open as he fell from the air, as if disemboweling it.
"Roar! Get off, human!"
The ancient dragon let out a pained howl. Its huge, fiery-red wings beat rapidly, and as it took to the air, its strong and powerful fiery-red dragon claw came crashing down.
The sound of air being torn apart came from above!
Tang Zheng's expression changed. He had no choice but to quickly pull the magic Greatsword from the ancient red dragon's chest and block above his head.
Compared to his instantaneous attack power, his own defensive capabilities were far weaker.
A heavy force traveled down his arms.
*Bang!*
Tang Zheng felt his arms go numb. Like a shooting star, his body was uncontrollably smashed into the ground.
The scorching mountain wall trembled, and a human-shaped pit appeared on the surface.
Tang Zheng crawled out of the pit in a sorry state, spitting out a mouthful of blood that splattered on the ground and was quickly evaporated by the high temperature.
His trembling, numb arms could barely hold the magic Greatsword steady.
*Crack!*
A faint cracking sound came from the magic Greatsword, and a conspicuous crack appeared on it.
"It's not just the influence of the curse power. I'm afraid the instantaneous power that erupted just now was also more than this magic Greatsword could handle."
Tang Zheng coughed, raised his arm to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked up into the air with an icy gaze.
"Roar!!"
In mid-air, the ancient red dragon's pained roars could be heard. Blood gushed from the enormous, several-meter-long wound like a fountain.
"You vile, inferior creature!"
"Damned ant!!"
The ancient red dragon's furious roar echoed through the sky, yet its voice carried an unconcealable weakness. Even its flying posture was clearly unstable.
It had obviously suffered a heavy blow!
"Cough, cough."
Tang Zheng finally steadied himself, unable to stop himself from spitting out another mouthful of blood. He grimaced. "As expected of the Dragon race, to withstand an attack with more than triple the damage."
"Roar…"
The ancient red dragon, which had been barely holding on in mid-air, suddenly let out a wail, and its body fell uncontrollably toward the ground.
Tang Zheng's gaze focused. The "Instant Death" effect contained within the curse power must have activated.
However, with the Dragon race's excellent innate resistance, it could probably endure it, but forcing its body into a state of weakness was no problem.
Tang Zheng endured the painful numbness in his arms, once again gripping the cracked magic Greatsword, wanting to deliver the final blow after the ancient red dragon crashed to the ground.
However!
As the ancient red dragon fell, it still weakly flapped its wings, causing its trajectory to tilt and head toward the Magma Sea.
As the red stream of light fell, a towering wave of magma surged up from the Magma Sea!
Tang Zheng's motion to deliver the final blow paused. He looked at the astonishingly hot Magma Sea in the distance, and his eyelid twitched.
"This damned red dragon. It won't even die in front of me. No, for a red dragon, the high heat of the magma is likely nothing."
"But shouldn't that be the Sun Anglerfish's territory?"
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered for a moment. Finally, no longer hesitating, he clutched his chest and quickly turned to leave.
He couldn't get near the Magma Sea, so there was no longer a chance to land the finishing blow. He would have to wait for the next time!
Tang Zheng hadn't forgotten the threat of the Slane Theocracy. No one could be sure when they might arrive here.
Right now, his magic power was empty and he was heavily injured. He had to leave this dangerous zone as soon as possible.
*Boom!*
Suddenly, a violent suction force appeared above the Magma Sea. Immediately after, a dragon's roar filled with resentment came from within the sea.
"Go to hell, human!"
Before Tang Zheng could even react, he was uncontrollably pulled from the ground by this powerful suction force, flying in the direction of the Magma Sea.
Before he even got close to the center, the scorching heat began to burn his body, and large-scale burns started to appear on his skin.
"Courting death!!"
A pained look appeared on Tang Zheng's face as he roared:
"[Impure Impact Shield]!"
The crimson-black shockwave spread out, forcefully canceling out the terrifying suction.
"[Pure Throwing Spear]!"
But by now, Tang Zheng had been forcibly pulled close to the Magma Sea. His entire body was scalded blood-red by the scorching steam. Enduring the intense pain, he waved his hand and threw a Pure Throwing Spear.
Tang Zheng then turned and quickly retreated toward the outer edge.
The giant figure of the Sun Anglerfish leaped out of the Magma Sea. Its eyes, which seemed to be flowing with some kind of red liquid, stared in Tang Zheng's direction as its huge tentacles, which looked like both hands and lanterns, shot out.
The scalding air was blasted apart!
Hearing the commotion behind him, Tang Zheng looked back, and his face changed drastically.
If he were facing either the ancient red dragon or the Sun Anglerfish alone, Tang Zheng wouldn't actually be afraid. But the environment of the lava zone truly had too great an effect on him.
"Damn it, I'm out of [Impure Impact Shield] uses!"
He had just used up both charges. He could no longer use it to dodge the Sun Anglerfish's attack.
"[Soul of Heroic Spirits]!" Tang Zheng roared.
*Swish!*
A milky-white figure emerged from Tang Zheng's body and blocked his path.
The next moment!
It was grabbed by the Sun Anglerfish's tentacle and dragged into the magma. Amidst the splashing, magma-like water, a small, red, fish-like monster the size of a fist, resembling a Sun Anglerfish, appeared.
This small fish-like monster must have been brought out from the magma by the Sun Anglerfish's tentacle.
*There are other fish-like monsters in the magma?*
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind as he quickly retreated.
*Boom!*
"Die! Die for me!" The ancient red dragon's weak, miserable cry came from the depths of the magma.
The powerful suction force appeared again.
This time, Tang Zheng could no longer resist it. Feeling his body being pulled from the ground once more, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
He reached out and grabbed the small Sun Anglerfish that was emitting an ultra-high temperature.
