Chapter 1278 The Eldest Lady's Counterattack
The moment the Ice Curse Dragon was shot down, the Explosive Dragon roared happily.
At medium and long distances, the Ice Curse Dragon, which has the ability to breathe extremely cold air and is good at flying, can be said to restrain it in all aspects.
But once it gets close to it, the situation will be completely reversed.
The Ice Curse Dragon obviously realized this, and endured the severe pain of ribs breaking, supported its body with its limbs and wing claws, and stood up quickly.
It was about to take advantage of the gap when the Explosive Dragon landed unsteadily, trying to flap its wings and retreat to increase the distance again.
But the Explosive Dragon didn't care about standing firm again, staggering, looking like it would fall at any time due to its unstable center of gravity, and stumbled to the Ice Curse Dragon.
This Ice Curse Dragon has rich combat experience. It realized that it was too late to increase the distance now. If it retreated forcefully, it would only be caught by the opponent.
Facing the Explosive Dragon that was about to fall on him, the Ice Curse Dragon hissed, swung its tail sideways, and the tip of its tail, which looked like a cold spear blade, stabbed out again like lightning.
The Ice Curse Dragon, with its slender body, short claws and toes, and only fine small teeth in its beak, was obviously not used to close combat, and the stabbing of its ice blade tail could almost be said to be its only means of counterattack.
Just when everyone thought that the Explosive Dragon would choose to resist the attack again, exchange injuries for injuries, and pounce on the Ice Curse Dragon to wrestle with it.
The Explosive Dragon showed agility that was inconsistent with its appearance, as well as amazing fighting skills.
With a swing of its sturdy hammer-shaped forelimbs, it actually deflected the ice blade tail before it pierced its chest.
Hayata, who was watching the battle from a distance, showed a trace of surprise in her eyes, and then turned to vigilance.
She had deflected the Ice Curse Dragon's tail thorn before, so she naturally knew the power and speed of this attack.
With the power of the Explosive Dragon, it is not surprising that the attack can be warded off. What is really amazing is the reaction speed of the Explosive Dragon and its judgment of timing.
If you mistakenly think that it is slow and clumsy because of its huge size, you will suffer a great loss.
The Ice Curse Dragon, whose tail thorn was swung away, was not willing to give up. It turned its long tail and stabbed out again with its tough tail.
This time, the Explosive Dragon did not waste any effort to block it. It was already close to the Ice Curse Dragon. The tail thorn lacked enough force distance and its power was greatly reduced. It just barely broke the former's dark green heavy armor, leaving an inconspicuous scar.
The Explosive Dragon roared and waved its arms, punched the Ice Curse Dragon twice in succession, and then hit the Ice Curse Dragon's chest with a headbutt.
The scales that were as hard as obsidian but brittle were shattered into large pieces. The Ice Curse Dragon, whose weight was probably not even half of that of the Explosive Dragon, was directly smashed to the ground.
To be honest, if the ancient dragon species had not had very hard bones and strong vitality, it would not be surprising that the head-changing large flying dragon was killed directly at this time.
"Boom!"
After the heavy punches and headbutts, there was an even more powerful explosion of ancient slime mold.
In the blazing explosion, the whole body of the Ice Curse Dragon, which had just fallen to the ground, was lifted up again and fell backwards.
"Ah--!!!"
The Ice Curse Dragon screamed in pain. On its chest and sides, there were three charred pits with broken scales and bloody flesh.
Ted couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The power of each of these attacks was much stronger than his dragon cannon.
If the Ice Curse Dragon couldn't pull away and get out of the predicament, it was not impossible for it to be beaten to death by the Explosive Dragon.
Feng Ying was even more hesitant about whether to provide a little "help" to the Ice Curse Dragon.
They hoped that both sides would be hurt, and it would be best if they would die together, but the Explosive Dragon was obviously not injured enough now, and it was simply too fierce.
Just as she was about to ask Hayata if she needed to take action.
The Ice Curse Dragon, lying on its back, launched a counterattack.
The Explosive Dragon had already pounced on her. If she was overwhelmed by it, she would be completely suppressed and even lose the chance to resist.
Ignoring the attack from the Explosive Dragon's hammer, the Ice Curse Dragon took a deep breath and shot the Explosive Dragon's chest with all its strength at zero distance.
It was not just cold air, but a frost-white breath composed of some extremely cold liquid droplets, carrying a powerful impact force, which pushed the Explosive Dragon back abruptly.
These droplets penetrated into the wounds and gaps in the shell of the Explosive Dragon. Under the impact and the stimulation of the temperature of the Explosive Dragon's body surface, the supercooled droplets instantly solidified and expanded.
The hard ice seemed to have drilled out of the body of the Explosive Dragon, tearing the flesh and prying open the armor, and the splashing blood dyed the ice scarlet.
"Gah!!"
The Explosive Dragon was furious and crazy, but it was not without pain.
In the previous extreme cold breath, it could rely on its thick and hard multi-layered shell to resist, but this time, the shell was broken, and the ice that expanded after penetrating the gaps in the shell caused it great damage on the physical level.
This is not the end.
The ancient slime mold and the Explosive Dragon are only symbiotic, not part of the latter.
It will explode when it is impacted, which even the Explosive Dragon cannot control. In other words, the ancient slime mold all over its body is actually a double-edged sword.
The ancient slime mold, which had reached a critical state under the stimulation of the active substances in the dragon's saliva, exceeded the critical point under the impact of the breath and the squeezing of the rapidly growing ice.
In the increasingly bright golden red light, they are expanding.
Then, explode!
"Boom boom boom!"
Continuous explosions swept across the entire body of the Explosive Dragon, and the power of the explosions even affected the Ice Curse Dragon.
Originally, the extremely cold breath that was intended to block the Explosive Dragon and create a chance to escape detonated the slime mold on the former, which was something that the Ice Curse Dragon itself did not expect.
Enduring the severe pain from the wound that was hit hard before, the Ice Curse Dragon spread its wings and flew back dozens of meters with the help of the explosion wind.
Watching the blue-black giant beast roaring in the explosion with vigilance.
On the other side, Maka and Osura finally arrived with the help of Amber.
Looking at the embarrassed Ice Curse Dragon and the Explosive Dragon howling in pain in the continuous explosion.
Both of them were a little confused.
Jumping off Amber's back, she squeezed next to Ted and nudged him with her elbow, "What's going on? What did we miss? It's only been a short time, why are they fighting so fiercely?"
Ted looked excited as if he had seen a good show, wiped his face, and said, "Awesome! Both sides are super fierce!
Damn, I'm beginning to sympathize with that Explosive Dragon. It fought back in desperation, suppressed wildly, and was blown half to death by the slime mold on its body.
It hasn't fallen yet? What kind of vitality is this?
If we fight it in its prime, we may not be able to beat it."
Hayata didn't say a lot of nonsense like Ted, and hurriedly conveyed several key points to the two companions who had just arrived, including the ability of the Ice Curse Dragon, the reaction speed of the Explosive Dragon, etc.
She had a hunch that neither the Explosive Dragon nor the Ice Curse Dragon would fall so easily.
In the end, they still had to go through a hard battle.
The continuous explosions lasted for more than ten seconds. The Explosive Dragon, which was trying to maintain its standing posture, was blown to the ground.
Its shell was shattered, and some parts of the shell had disappeared, revealing the charred flesh and even bones underneath.
The Explosive Dragon was panting, supporting its body with its forelimbs and the big horns on its head, and its bloodshot eyes stared at the Ice Curse Dragon in the distance.
It was still alive and could continue to fight.
The Ice Curse Dragon, which was also quite tired, realized that the Explosive Dragon would not retreat.
It exhaled a breath of cold air, spread its light purple dragon wings, held its head high, and returned to its elegant and noble posture.
The cold air was everywhere, and countless slender but sharp ice thorns grew from its body.
It turned into a set of gorgeous ice armor.
