Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 344: Lava Earth Dragon: I fight the Sun King? Is this true?

Patch looked at Bai Shi who was thinking about something and felt a chill on his back.

I always feel like he's thinking about something dangerous...

Well, I won’t be doing it later anyway, so it doesn’t matter.

Take them up quickly and then go back to the Volcano Residence.

Just when Bai Shi and Patch were thinking about their own things.

Big Horned Telages, who was resting on a boulder nearby, also saw the people coming towards him.

After recognizing that the person in front of him was Bai Shi, with whom he had fought at the battle festival, Telages immediately stood up.

But after standing up, Tragus didn't know what to say.

As soon as he speaks, things become unbearable.

And if he spoke directly but Bai Shi didn't remember him at all, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
Therefore, the taciturn 'Big Horn' Telages just nodded to Bai Shi as a greeting.

Seeing that he was still silent, Bai Shi did not take the initiative to talk to him.

After all, knowing that he was a silent person, Bai Shi just nodded in response.

Standing outside the cave, Bai Shi turned around and asked Patch:

"It looks like you guys didn't get rid of the lava earth dragon after all."

Patch curled his lips, as if he was unwilling to admit this fact.

"There's nothing we can do. That guy has thick skin and tough flesh."

"Compared to common flying dragons, that guy's body is much stronger."

"Even if the big hammer of Telegus hit it, it would have no significant effect."

Hearing Patch's words, Telages lowered his head slightly.

The lava earth dragon was indeed not a creature he could deal with.

If it were a little stronger, maybe it would be possible to destroy the lava earth dragon once and for all.

In that case, this road would be completely unobstructed for the Faded Ones to pass through and head to the Yatan Plateau.

Bai Shi touched his chin and asked Patch again curiously:
"Then how do you usually bring people there?"

"Will the lava earth dragon fall into a deep sleep or hibernation?"

Telages shook his head and spoke first, denying it.

“…Not sleeping.”

Patch took over what Telages said and continued to explain to Bai Shi:

"That guy wouldn't just fall asleep easily."

"It is said that the Lava Earth Dragon was originally a hero of mankind, relying on its powerful force to hunt flying dragons and perform dragon feasts."

"However, after performing too many dragon feasting rituals, those former heroes gradually lost themselves in the power of the dragon."

"Because it transformed from a human, the Lava Earth Dragon does sleep frequently to adapt to the huge changes in its body."

"But maybe it's also because of his experience as a human. That guy is very vigilant and has never really fallen asleep."

"So it's unrealistic to expect to easily and directly cross its nest."

Alexander and Millicent were particularly surprised to hear that the Lava Earth Dragon was transformed from a human hero.

Alexander had not imagined that someone who had become a hero would choose to embark on such a path.

In Alexander's view, the identity of a hero is the most glorious and must never be abandoned.

Millicent's focus, however, is completely different from Alexander's.

Millicent found it incomprehensible that someone who had once hunted dragons would voluntarily transform into an inhuman being.

If corruption cannot be curbed, she will bloom, but that is something she would rather die than see.

It would be better for her to die than to transform herself into something that is not her own.

"As for how to bring people there..."

Patch chuckled and slapped the leather on his chest.

"Of course I'll rely on you."

"Although that guy is still a little wary, he is just a beast after all."

"With some props, it's easy to lure it out."

"The cave that can accommodate it is very big. I can get rid of it by running around in it a few times."

"Terragus has already sent everyone to the elevator leading to the Yatan Plateau during this time."

Bai Shi nodded, somewhat surprised.

I didn't expect that Patch would use himself as bait to actively attract the hatred of the Lava Earth Dragon.

Obviously, this kind of thing where the risks outweigh the benefits is not like Patch's style...

Bai Shi took another look at the fully armed and overweight warrior Terragus, and suddenly understood.

It seems that if Patch wants to earn money from Rune, the only way is for him to do the work himself.

If Tragus were to run, he would probably be much slower than him.

Moreover, Patch can be said to be an expert in escape, and with his life-saving personality, it seems that there should be no danger to him in restraining the Earth Dragon.

Patch licked his lips and laughed.

"Hey, back on topic."

"With your strength, you won't really ask me to make another trip to attract that guy's attention, right?"

"What are you going to do about that lava earth dragon?"

Bai Shi chuckled and walked straight towards the cave where the lava earth dragon was.

"Hehe, you ask even though you already know the answer."

Seeing Bai Shi walking towards the cave, Millicent couldn't help but feel nervous.

Alexander noticed Millicent's nervousness and patted her shoulder.

"Haha, are you worried about Bai Shi?"

"He is one of the strongest people in the border area right now. No, maybe even the word 'one of the strongest' can be removed."

"After all, even General Latan has been defeated by Bai Shi!"

Patch also came over, looking incredulous.

"No way, you were obviously brought here by him, but don't you know how strong he is?"

"He's a monster stronger than dozens of lava earth dragons combined... ahem, the king."

Tragus recalled Bai Shi's heroic appearance during the battle festival and nodded in agreement.

Listening to what the people around her were saying, Millicent felt a little overwhelmed.

Why does it seem like... she's the only one who doesn't have a clear understanding of Bai Shi's strength?
Even though they said that, the tension in Millicent's heart could not be completely eliminated.

After all…Millicent had hardly ever seen Bai Shi take action.

In front of her, Bai Shi had only attacked twice.

The first move was to take her through Galid and head to the sage's dilapidated house.

Along the way, Bai Shi easily killed countless corrupt followers.

The second time was the royal ghost not long ago.

But the creatures they faced these two times were not strong, and were no match for the lava earth dragon they were talking about now.

This also led to her not having a clear understanding of Bai Shi's strength. She knew that Bai Shi was very strong and it would not be a problem for him to deal with the Lava Earth Dragon, but she didn't know how strong he was.

It would be bad if I got hurt in battle...
-
As soon as Bai Shi stepped into the territory of the lava earth dragon, a violent breath emanated from the cave.

In this cave, which was once a mine, there are a large number of remains of man-made structures.

The most eye-catching thing is the countless huge stone pillars supporting this place.

However, most of these thick stone pillars had already been shattered by the beast's rampage. I'm afraid this was Patch's masterpiece.

Along with the giant beast's rumbling steps, the surrounding rocks were constantly shaking.

Just by listening to the earth-shaking noise, you can tell what kind of giant monster is inside.

Just behind the countless stone pillars, a huge head covered with messy scales emerged first and appeared in front of Bai Shi.

Almost right next to Bai Shi's face, a huge vertical pupil half the size of a human, with a cold golden glow, was staring at him.

Looking at the cold eyes filled with rage and murderous intent in front of him, Bai Shi tilted his head.

Then, without waiting for the lava earth dragon to make any move, Bai Shi punched the lava earth dragon's huge eyeball.

Dragons are very different from ordinary creatures, and the strength of their eyes cannot be generalized.

Bai Shi can clearly feel the hard touch which is completely different from the fragile eyeballs.

However, in front of him, it was no different from paper.

In an instant, Bai Shi's fist had already pierced into the eyeball of the lava earth dragon.

The lava earth dragon's eyes twitched, and it let out a heart-wrenching cry of pain, and a large amount of magma sprayed everywhere.

It shook its head wildly, trying to knock out the needle that had pierced its eye.

Bai Shi pulled out his hand following the movement of the Lava Earth Dragon, and it fell lightly to the side.

He had wanted to do this a long time ago.

I have always seen this kind of scene in various works before, and I can't help but want to give it a try.

It's really disrespectful to put your eyes so close during a fight.

In the eyeball of the Lava Earth Dragon that was hit hard, structures similar to the lens and vitreous body immediately shattered and gushed out of the wound along with the contents of the eye.

It can be said that this eye is completely useless.

In severe pain, the lava earth dragon continued to roll and struggle, sweeping down large pieces of building debris.

This also allowed Bai Shi to finally see the appearance of the lava earth dragon with his own eyes.

The heavy body could only lie on the ground and move by dragging itself on all fours.

The two wings on its body look as discordant as chicken wings.

The lava earth dragon also has thick scales on its body.

The scales of the ancient dragon are elegant and hard, and the heavy rock scales are synonymous with eternity.

The flying dragons, as descendants, did not have rock scales, but they also had hard dragon scales covering their bodies.

The scales of the lava earth dragon are somewhat different.

It doesn't have that kind of elegance and immortality, and it can't even cover the whole body like a flying dragon.

There are almost no scales on the side of the lava earth dragon, only thick skin.

Those scales all cover the back and head, growing densely and overlapping each other in a disorderly manner.

Thick scales are piled up in several layers, forming irregular ridges on the back of the lava earth dragon.

With this appearance, it is indeed difficult to call it a dragon.

It's exactly like a giant lizard with wings.

Only the huge earth dragon scale sword in its hand can serve as evidence of their existence as human beings.

In the severe pain, the Lava Earth Dragon became even more violent, and immediately raised the huge weapon in its hand and smashed it towards Bai Shi indiscriminately.

Bai Shi dodged the random attack with ease, and with a casual wave of his hand, the Earth Dragon Scale Sword was covered with heavy stones.

The heavy rocks continued to swallow up the Scale Sword, and even the Lava Earth Dragon's enormous power began to make it difficult to wield it.

When the weapon that he used to wield with ease could no longer be wielded, the last bit of rationality in the Lava Earth Dragon's remaining eyes was devoured by madness.

Throwing away its weapon, the Lava Earth Dragon pressed its body down towards Bai Shi like a madman, charging forward using both its hands and feet.

Boiling magma continuously gushed out of its mouth, rushing towards Bai Shi.

However, facing the blazing magma and the oncoming earth dragon, Bai Shi was unwilling to even move.

Seeing that Bai Shi did not dodge or evade, Millicent's heart, which had just been excited about his victory, was lifted again.

From her angle, she could see clearly that the lava earth dragon could swallow Bai Shi in one bite.

But Bai Shi just raised his hand calmly and blocked it in front of him.

The next moment, Millicent's eyes widened.

She was surprised to see that the lava earth dragon seemed to have hit an unshakable wall, and its heavy body stopped instantly.

Then Bai Shi ignored the boiling magma and lifted up the earth dragon.

It was clearly a tiny human body, but it was able to lift up the heavy lava earth dragon!

When its charge was blocked and it was lifted above its head instead, the Lava Earth Dragon's feet left the ground and its IQ finally returned to its high ground.

The Lava Earth Dragon finally realized something.

Bai Shi is different from all the creatures it has faced before!
At this moment, a certain cowardly emotion that is unique to humans and has long been abandoned by it reappeared.

Fear, panic, and the desire to escape at all costs.

But it was too late.

Bai Shi threw the lava earth dragon away and smashed it into the broken rocks.

The lava earth dragon flapped its limbs constantly, wanting only to turn over and escape immediately.

But a giant flying dragon's head condensed in front of Bai Shi, opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and immediately bit towards the lava earth dragon.

Dragon bite!

The abyss-like mouth bit firmly on the lava earth dragon's neck.

As the dragon's mouth continued to exert force, the lava earth dragon's thick scales, like armor plate, shattered one after another and were pierced by its sharp teeth.

Seeing that the lava earth dragon was still struggling, Bai Shi controlled the dragon head to bite it up and smashed it heavily to the ground.

Under the biting and knocking of the dragon's head, the lava earth dragon's thick neck was almost completely broken.

Even with such serious injuries, the Lava Earth Dragon did not die immediately.

After transforming into dragons, their vitality is indeed a bit too strong.

Seeing that the opponent had only one breath left, Bai Shi controlled gravity and controlled the nearby rocks.

Dense rock blades instantly shot out from the ground, piercing through the body of the lava earth dragon and taking its life.

This was one of the moves that Latan had once used against Bai Shi. Now he could use it just as well as the original owner.

The heavy corpse did not hang in the air for long before it was chopped into pieces by the sharp rock blades under its own gravity.

Millicent stared at Bai Shi blankly with her eyes wide open.

Although she knew that Bai Shi was very strong, she had no idea he was this strong.

In this case, she also mentioned the sharp blade or something...

Maybe Bai Shi didn't need her at all, she was just moving herself.

Millicent was a little confused now.
