Chapter 409: Dragon Extermination Part 4 (1/2)

”Ha!” Alea slashed the dragon again while Theo aimed at the wound and pushed the spear up to widen it.

This scene would make one think they wound the dragon greatly, but the monster was stronger than expected.

The fire in his body began to flare up as his red scales brightened as though they started glowing.

”Hmm?” Theo furrowed his eyebrows and distanced himself while saying, ”Something is not right.”

Alea glanced at the dragon's body and furrowed her eyebrows. ”It's redder than usual. Maybe, the dragon is releasing its fire… I'm not too sure.”

Right after she said those words, the spikes on top of the dragon's body turned reddish, making it look like a superheated molten rock.

Soon, the tip of the spikes shone brighter than the others.

”Not good,” Alea shouted. ”Something is coming. We need to get more distance.”

Theo furrowed his eyebrows and used his Telekinesis to send them back, including Agata.

”What happens?” Agata asked, not understanding the situation.

However, the one that answered her was the ground dragon. The tip of the spikes began to melt as a red fire began to burst out of the hole.

”!!!” Theo widened his eyes. It turned out that the spikes were empty and created a small tunnel leading to the dragon's body.

After that, the flame erupted. There were around a total of a hundred spikes on the dragon's back and with all of them spurting out a flame, the atmosphere gradually became hotter.

It didn't stop there. The fire started to move backward due to the wind, eventually creating a forest fire.

Because they didn't want it to be happening, the military decided to extinguish the fire while maintaining his distance from Theo so as to avoid getting the dragon's attention.

”What are we going to do?” Agata asked.

Theo thought for a moment and released his Magic Bullet. ”Let me test it.”

”Magic Bullet.”

Forty Magic Bullets flew to the top of the dragon. It then dove, aiming at the holes that were connected to the dragon's body.

This was the time Theo showed his progress again. The Magic Bullets had another two turns to adjust their positions and entered the hole.

”That's…” Agata furrowed her eyebrows, hoping the Magic Bullets hit the target.

Unfortunately for him, the Magic Bullets were extinguished before it could even touch anything. Theo shook his head in disappointment, ”I'm afraid this dragon is more troublesome than we originally thought.”

”What do you mean?” Alea asked.

”The dragon's scale is too hard and each step will cause extensive damage to the surroundings, including us.” Theo pointed at the fire cloud formed from the continuous release of its flame. ”Then, there is that. I'm sure you can notice the gradual increase in temperature.

”We can't destroy those hundreds of spikes, so our only choice is to defeat the dragon as soon as possible or we will be roasted alive…” Theo sighed, ”The temperature is gonna keep rising.”

”I can do anything as long as we can win,” Agata added while saying, ”Do you have a plan?”
