Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 556 Energy Clash

Darren shielded his eyes with one hand, blocking the fierce sandstorm that was seeping into his eyes through the gaps in his helmet. Through the sand, he could vaguely see two giant beasts tearing at each other in the sandstorm. The bursts of energy exploded with their movements, and rings of scorching energy impact materialized in the dust and continued to expand outward.

The hunters were forced to retreat repeatedly to avoid being caught in the crossfire of their battle while their vision was obstructed.

As the battle continued, the dust and smoke from the crashing attack quickly dissipated. When the hunters could see the monster fighting the Fatalis, their wavering resolve was renewed, and even suppressed cheers could be heard amidst the danger.

"Great! It's the Blazing Sun Dragon! It really is in the Gathering Places!"

"Counterattack! Counterattack!!"

"Kill this guy who dares to desecrate the environment!"

A group of people were yelling and about to rush up to 'help' Luo Yun, but they were stopped by the leader, whose arm was still dripping blood.

"Wait! Don't act rashly!"

The hunters' strong mental fortitude prevented them from being overwhelmed by Luo Yun's appearance. Although they couldn't understand why the Grand Master would make such a decision, they knew that an experienced hunter like the Grand Master would never act without reason.

Therefore, even though Darren had already aimed at the Fatalis's body and was ready to extend his grappling hook, he silently lowered his arm.

"Something's wrong! Boss Fire Dragon's current state is off!"

As the hunter who knew Luo Yun best among those present, the Grand Master easily discerned something different from Luo Yun's current behavior.

It's not something as simple and superficial as a change in appearance or a more rugged fighting style; it's a deeper feeling.

In the past, when Luo Yun faced powerful enemies, or even when he nearly wiped out the ecosystem of the Great Ant Hill Wasteland by activating the Gnawing Worms, the Grand Master noticed that Luo Yun's emotions contained anger and even murderous intent, but more than anything, they felt as if he was completing some kind of mission.

It's the kind of feeling that if His own life is in danger, He would even abandon the mission and leave decisively.

Of course, this feeling did not affect the Grand Master's perception of Luo Yun. He even strongly agreed with Luo Yun's idea that for an ancient dragon like Luo Yun who was an ecologically oriented being, the best thing was for him to live.

But now?

There was no sense of responsibility, nor any anger or similar emotions.

It's more of a greedy mentality!
A kind of greed that is determined to get the 'prey' in front of them, even to the point of wanting to devour it completely!
Under the influence of such emotions, Luo Yun's bestial instincts clearly outweighed his rationality, a fact that was very evident in Luo Yun's current battle.

He didn't even care about the hunters around him; his eyes were only on the Fatalis in front of him, nothing else mattered.

This unusual behavior made the Grand Master hesitate. He was unsure whether the hunters rushing up at this moment were helping Luo Yun, or whether they would be caught in His attack range because of their 'obstructive' behavior.

This is an extremely difficult question to answer.

The battle between the Fatalis and Loyun reached a fever pitch almost the instant they landed.

After being swooped down from the sky by Luo Yun, the Crimson Dragon knew through its energy perception that Luo Yun was a creature that did not belong to the food chain, just like itself.

This means that He has been completely exposed, and Luo Yun is the creature that the world sent to deliver the final blow to Him. Therefore, after adjusting his position in the air and taking the damage from the supersonic pounce, the Crimson Dragon no longer held back, went all out, and directly entered a critical state. The entire dragon emitted blue energy and launched a full-scale counterattack against Luo Yun.

Luo Yun, realizing that his supersonic pounce was not very effective against the Crimson Dragon, whose defensive capabilities were comparable to his own, made the same choice as the Crimson Dragon, unleashing his full power to activate the Taijing energy and engage in a battle of energy against energy, and flesh against flesh.

The battles between forbidden beings weren't all that fancy.

After all, its energy resistance, which can be described as energy immunity, its physical defense, which has reached a state of damage reduction, and even its energy reserves are all beyond the realm of ordinary reason.

Compared to the meticulous planning of other monsters, the Forbidden Ones are more about sheer force and overwhelming power. Their output threshold is terrifyingly high; even a simple energy release is what most creatures would call a 'ultimate move'.

Similarly, it is precisely because this kind of fighting is the most destructive to the ecosystem that battles between forbidden beings are often called planetary battles. If the fighting continues without end, it is possible to destroy all life on a planet.

"Roar!"

Luo Yun roared and swung his right wing, unleashing a massive wind pressure that struck the Crimson Dragon's scales like blades. His crimson wing claws slashed at the dragon's head, and at the point of impact, pure Taijing energy erupted, tearing through the dragon's defenses and shattering the tiny scales, leaving behind horrifying wounds.

The Crimson Dragon staggered a few steps after being struck, then lashed out with its tail, hitting Luo Yun in the chest. A burst of azure energy repelled Luo Yun, who was still in pursuit.

The two behemoths exchanged blows, one wielding a claw while the other a tail, one exhaling a breath while the other unleashed a laser beam, while the surrounding environment constantly shifted under the influence of pure ley line energy and crimson crystal energy.

Everyone wants to create a battlefield that is most suitable for their own fighting. These subtle differences are the key to their ultimate victory in battles of the same level!

"Let's retreat for now! Intervening rashly in such a battle will only affect the Blazing Sun Dragon's judgment of the situation!"

As both sides began to abandon their defenses and attacked each other in an absolute 'critical state,' and the aftershocks of the battle began to spread throughout the entire area, the Grand Master made his final decision.

Leave the battlefield to the Blazing Sun Dragon!

At least until this indiscriminate back-and-forth ends, they don't have many good opportunities to join in.

Although the hunters were unwilling, seeing that even a simple strike from these two forbidden beings could trigger a massive energy explosion, they could only grit their teeth and quickly retreat from the battlefield.

Shortly after the hunters withdrew, the battlefield was rapidly covered by pillars of crystal.

Having fought the hunters for too long and absorbed too much ley line energy, resulting in insufficient ley line energy in the battle area, the Fatalis finally suffered a backlash.

In this battle for the battlefield environment, He, who needed to mobilize more resources to draw out the deeper earth vein energy, was ultimately slightly outmatched in terms of time. Luo Yun seized the opportunity and took the final advantage of the battlefield.

"The Sword of the Cliff!!"

The Cliff Sword, which originally required a long time to charge up and precise control when facing the Earth Crying Dragon, can now be used easily. In fact, if one is not enough, Luo Yun can use several in succession.

The perpetual motion machine of energy after energy internal circulation is not just for solidifying life. As long as the energy recovery speed can keep up, it can release this type of powerful move multiple times in a very short period of time.

Just like the Crimson Emperor Azure Star of the Crimson Dragon, it doesn't mean that its energy is depleted after it releases it. It just releases too much at once, which causes it to need some time to recover. Absorbing the energy of the earth veins to replenish itself is just to accelerate the energy recovery process.
