Chapter 1249: Chapter 111: Flame Dragon Nine Transformations_2
The sky was filled with an overwhelming surge of scorching energy racing towards Ah Dai, who realized that even under the protection of the Divine Dragon Body Cover, his magic robe was still giving off a smell of scorching. In his panic, he had no choice but to chant the spell to summon the Light Dragon again. The white energy dragon continued to draw in the light elements around it, storing up its own energy, ready to meet the attack of the first transformation of the Flame Dragon.
Larthas’s eyes gleamed coldly. In his desire to glorify his Tian Jing Mage Guild, he had thrown caution to the wind. From the spell that Ah Dai had just chanted, he knew clearly that the young man had a Divine Artifact possessing the same abilities as Phoenix’s Blood—the Dragon’s Blood. The young man had brought him too many surprises; the idea of such a young elder of the Mage Guild was unimaginable! It was precisely because of Ah Dai’s strength that he had resorted to his most powerful technique, the Flame Dragon Nine Transformations. The most fearsome aspect of the Flame Dragon Nine Transformations was its capability for sustained attack. Against this magic, as long as the caster had the mana to continue the spell, the opponent would have no choice but to continuously defend against the magical assaults, leading to exhaustion. Ever since Larthas reached the Magus Realm, he had been exploring how to wield this powerful magic. Now, relying on the Fire Spirit Pearl and his own strength, he could perform up to the seventh transformation. He was unaware that the Pope had the ability to cast a Forbidden Curse solo. His desire for Phoenix’s Blood stemmed from the belief that with the amplifying effects of both Phoenix’s Blood and the Fire Spirit Pearl, he might be able to achieve the last transformation and become the continent’s first Forbidden Spell Mage.
Ah Dai’s Light Dragon energy gradually took shape. The swirling red glow in front of him slowed down, and the Flame Dragon regained powerful energy, growing slightly bigger than before, with its fiery red body color turning a bit yellowish. With a roll in the air, it suddenly pounced towards Ah Dai. Driven by Ah Dai, the Light Dragon confronted the Flame Dragon, which had been amplified by the first transformation, for the second time.
To everyone’s surprise, Ah Dai’s Level 6 Light Dragon had lost all its ability to counter the Flame Dragon. With a loud boom on the first collision, the Flame Dragon’s exceedingly hot energy dissipated half the Light Dragon’s power. Ah Dai’s whole body trembled. He stepped back subconsciously, his body shaking slightly. As he watched the Light Dragon’s energy being continuously diminished by the Fire Dragon and was unable to do anything about it, he could only use his spiritual power to try to control the Light Dragon to counterattack, in the hopes of weakening the Flame Dragon’s assault.
With a loud "Crash—" the Fire Dragon slammed violently against the Light Dragon, and amidst the sound of the impact, specks of white light dissipated. A pain struck Ah Dai’s head, the shock to his spiritual power turning his complexion somewhat pale. The huge Fire Dragon, carrying a sense of death with its scorching energy, crazily rushed towards him. The twisting energy in the air formed ripples where the Fire Dragon had passed, as though the very air around its body was aflame.
In his fear, the energy of the Ring of Guardian was released. A white light barrier appeared in front of Ah Dai, staunchly bracing against the Flame Dragon’s onslaught. His body was flung out amidst the fiery rain, the energy barrier of the Ring of Guardian vanished, and the immense concussive force caused a surge of blood in Ah Dai, while the scorching energy, having broken through the defense of the Ring of Guardian, was finally stopped by the Divine Dragon Body Cover’s energy, which diminished noticeably, its outline becoming somewhat blurred.
The residual energy of the Flame Dragon, like a red cloud, slowly condensed in the air. Its gathering energy finally gave Ah Dai a chance to catch his breath. He took a deep breath and continuously regulated the qi and blood within his body. With the protection of the True Qi, the previous strike had not injured him.
Xuan Yue saw Ah Dai’s body being knocked away and shouted, "Brother, why didn’t you dodge?"
Ah Dai turned his head to glance at Xuan Yue, and sighed inwardly. If he were to dodge, he would have to use martial arts, unless he resorted to Goris’s Wish. However, he did not want to use his lifesaving Unique Skills so soon. Therefore, for victory’s sake, he could not dodge! After all, this was a duel between mages.
Larthas remained calm, not the least bit surprised that Ah Dai had stopped the Flame Dragon at its first transformation. His hands quickly formed a seal in the air, and with a loud shout, "Transform again—" The Fire Spirit Pearl trembled slightly, and as his seal was cast, an odd circular shape materialized in the air, a stream of energy even thicker than before shooting towards the remaining energy of the Flame Dragon in the sky, intensifying the sensation of heat.
Ah Dai felt his scalp tingling. How long would the opponent’s relentless attack continue? No, he couldn’t go on like this. Always being so passive, how could he win the duel? He had to attack, he must achieve victory through offense. But, facing such a powerful Flame Dragon, how could he land an attack on Larthas? His eyes brightened as he touched Goris’s Wish on his right forearm. Although he couldn’t use martial arts, couldn’t his Clone be used as magic? He could use it as a spell! In this perilous moment, Ah Dai’s mind was exceptionally clear, and he purposefully chanted loudly, "Order of space, turn! With your endless Divine Power, conjure up the image of the original body, attack my enemy."
Listening to Ah Dai’s spell, Larthas and all the mages couldn’t help but be stunned. What kind of magic was this? They had never heard such a chant before! Could it be a long-lost space magic?
