Chapter 409 - Dragon Extermination Part 4

"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?"

Theo contemplated for a moment. "Actually, no. All we can do is widen that wound. Although it's still smaller than my original plan, the wound itself is already sixty percent of the side's neck. I'm sure we can force the neck open and gradually cut it with our efforts. But it will surely be a gruesome experience, especially for those who are closer to this flame."

Agata clenched her fists and nodded. "I understand. I will make the dragon follow me. I should be able to do that much."

"Thank you." Theo nodded with a serious expression. He then turned to Alea, "We need to hit the tip of the head to give more inertia to our blow."

"Understood." Alea agreed without hesitation and shouted. "Magicians, we need you to hit the dragon's head on the tip. The wound we've created will naturally become wider after that."

"The time limit is ten minutes. If we can't kill this dragon within ten, we will retreat," said Theo and flew back to the dragon.

Agata also summoned the same pink smoke from her head. Instead of a scythe, she summoned a huge humanoid figure without a face and human features like that of a mannequin. The giant mannequin raised its hands, planning to slam the dragon.

Seeing such a thing, the dragon lowered its body to shoot the flame to this giant mannequin.

But this was the opportunity Theo needed in order to kill the dragon. Seeing that kind of reaction, Theo sped up with all his strength in his spear.

He, his clone, and Alea struck the dragon's nose from the side, blowing the dragon's head to the side.

"Ha!"

Bam.

The combination of their attacks created a strong wind that somehow deformed Agata's giant mannequin.

Even so, Agata didn't give up and caught the dragon's head. The dragon started moving left and right to shake her hand off, but it ended up stopping and roaring to the sky.

Roar.

Its voice was filled with pain and anguish because the dragon's just made his wound even bigger.

Even Theo was impressed by the result. He gave a thumbs up to Agata while waiting for the next attack.

Agata smiled and soon clicked her tongue when the dragon opened its mouth, releasing its breath. The fire breath reduced the mannequin to nothing.

Not wanting to be outdone by the three people who stood in the front line, the magicians used their strongest skill and poured more Magic Power than usual, hoping to injure the dragon.

Five elements hit the ground from above, launching the head downward, which further widened the wound next to the top of his neck.

Roar.

The dragon realized it was at a disadvantage, so he tried to move forward in order to shake the human group.

Theo didn't let it happen and struck the head with his clone.

Bang.

The Cannon Blast energy dispersed and pushed the head back, albeit Theo still gritted his teeth and said, "It's still too weak. I can't really do too much, considering there are more than 140 levels in our gap. But…"

Theo suddenly fell silent, remembering a certain thing in his head.
