Chapter 374 Fire Dragon

"A black dragon?" Shiina Mahiru asked in surprise, looking around.

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent, searching for a target just like Yukino.

The dragon's roar echoed throughout the fifth floor, but its master was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Sheng glanced around, then finally fixed his gaze on the large crater of lava ahead, his expression serious.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina followed his gaze and looked at the crater of lava.

"Could it be... inside?" Shiina Mahiru asked uncertainly.

"We can only stay in there." Xia Sheng nodded.

"To think I could bathe in lava..."

""

Creatures that can bathe in magma possess unimaginable physical strength; they must be monsters from another world.

Of course, it seems even more natural to say that it's a dragon.

But Shiina Mahiru was so alarmed because the new intruder might be even more expensive than the black dragon.

"Isn't it coming out?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, staring at the lava with a puzzled look.

"I don't know. They might be disdainful, or they might be plotting something," Xia Sheng replied.

"Most likely, they just look down on it." Yukino Yukinoshita sneered.

Dragons are naturally proud and arrogant, looking down on everything except their own kind, considering everyone else as ants and beneath their notice.

The previous black dragon was an example.

Even with tasks and goals, they still can't shake their arrogance.

It possesses intelligence and thought, but it cannot compare to their true nature.

It is, after all, a living being.

"Let's still be careful," Xia Sheng advised.

"I know, but this isn't a solution. Let's force it out."

"Yes, that's fine." Xia Sheng had the same idea.

"How do I do it?" Shiina Mahiru asked.

"Let me do it. My awakened skill might have been born for the fifth level."

After Yukino Yukinoshita finished speaking, she took a step forward and stood at the edge of the lava pit, her magical power surging around her.

The air got cold.

Despite the sweltering heat on the fifth floor, snowflakes continued to fall, oblivious to everything.

Immediately afterwards, Yukino Yukinoshita stepped out with her right foot, and ice began to gather beneath her feet, extending forward.

The ice ignored the lava, froze it, and then spread rapidly along the edge of the pit.

On the magma, ice continuously freezes.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Shiina Mahiru exclaimed in amazement.

That's really amazing. No normal person could imagine that lava could freeze, even if it's just the surface layer.

"Don't just stand there, Natsuo, come and help me replenish my mana," Yukino Yukinoshita called out as she turned around.

"They're here."

Xia Sheng immediately went over and hugged her, then lowered his head and kissed her, replenishing her magic.

With her body brimming with magical energy, Yukino Yukinoshita began to unleash her ice power to the fullest extent, causing the ice surface to freeze even faster.

Before long, the entire lava pit, which was tens of meters in diameter, was covered by ice, sparkling with light.

"Phew—I'm so tired, using my abilities like this."

Yukino Yukinoshita also parted ways with Natsuo and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is what it feels like to have your phone being charged and played with at the same time," Xia Sheng joked.

Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

"So, why don't you hurry up and increase your magical power?" Shiina Mahiru said.

"You don't need to tell me..."

""

"Hehe~ But why isn't there any reaction?" Shiina Mahiru stared at the ice and couldn't help but ask.

"No, there's a response."

"roar--!"

As soon as Xia Sheng finished speaking, a dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth beneath the ice.

"It's really down there!"

"It's coming!" Xia Sheng pulled the two of them back quickly.

Click—!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, suddenly reaching the ears of the three.

Cracks appeared on the ice surface.

Click—click—

The next second, the crack widened and spread, covering the ice surface, and magma overflowed from the crack, steaming hot.

"roar--!!!"

The dragon's roar echoed throughout the fifth floor.

Click!

The ice finally broke, and a huge figure, flapping its enormous wings, flew out of the lava and hovered in mid-air.

Xia Sheng and the others looked at it, their expressions serious.

What flew out was indeed a dragon, but it was not quite the same as the black dragon.

Its entire body is covered in red scales, bright and fiery, like flames burning.

Its face is ferocious, with sharp fangs, exuding both power and intimidation, commanding respect without anger.

Living things that see it will feel an instinctive fear, unable to resist it, and dare not face it.

Natsuo and the others had experience facing the Black Dragon, so they were less affected. He was completely unharmed, but Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina had their hearts racing and were terrified.

I endured it all thanks to my willpower.

"Fire Dragon..." Xia Sheng gave it a simple name.

"That's very apt." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in agreement, trying to distract herself.

"You two... how are we supposed to deal with it?" Shiina Mahiru asked, her exasperated yet amused by their calm demeanor.

She was happy to have them there.

If she were alone, she might have already run away.

"Yukino's abilities should be enough to deal with it, it's just a pity that her magical power is insufficient," Natsuo analyzed, saying regretfully.

This fire dragon flies in the air, making it difficult to deal with. If we freeze its wings and render it unable to fly, it will be much easier to handle.

However, even with Yukino's current magical power, she cannot do anything against it.

It's still unknown whether Shiina Mahiru's black flame ability will be effective against it.

After all, the black dragon's scales can make it immune to their abilities, so this fire dragon can most likely be too.

"I know, I know. Just go back and focus on increasing your magic power, okay? Stop emphasizing it," Yukino Yukinoshita replied helplessly.

The two of them kept chirping at her, as if afraid she wouldn't want to.

How could she not want to? She just didn't want to talk about it openly.

I feel so embarrassed.

"Hehe~ Xia Sheng, did you hear that? Remember to give it your all then."

"Alright! Now I'm motivated to take care of the fire dragon on my own." Xia Sheng was full of energy.

"Are you going to deal with it alone?"

"It's all up to me now. You guys can assist me from the sidelines and see if my abilities work."

"it is good."

"Then be careful." Xia Sheng stepped forward and faced the fire dragon alone.

"You should be careful too," the two said in unison.

Don't worry.

Looking up at the fire dragon towering above him, Xia Sheng smiled and didn't take it seriously.

The alarm bells inside him kept ringing, reminding him how dangerous the enemy was, but he hadn't become stronger for nothing.

Invaders who can't even break through the barriers of the dungeon are nothing to fear.

Xia Sheng gazed at the fire dragon's golden vertical pupils, crouched slightly, gathered his strength, and then leaped up.

He immediately flew towards the fire dragon like a launcher, moving at incredible speed, arriving in the blink of an eye.

He clenched his right fist and swung it toward the fire dragon's face, the blow accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, unstoppable.

"roar--!"

The fire dragon felt it had been provoked, flames spilled from its mouth, and then it opened its mouth and spewed out a burst of fire.

Summer life collides head-on with flames!

"Natsuo—!" Shiina Mahiru cried out in fear from the ground.

Yukino Yukinoshita gripped her clothes tightly, her eyes fixed on the sky.

Flames filled the air, their extreme heat distorting the air and capable of burning everything.

The dragon's face exuded a sense of calm and confidence; it didn't believe that a tiny human could withstand its flames.

However-

A dark shadow burst forth from the flames, flying with unstoppable momentum to the fire dragon.

Xia Sheng delivered a powerful punch, striking the black dragon squarely in the cheek.

boom--!

A dull thud shook the air, accompanied by the sound of flesh colliding, as the fire dragon plummeted and crashed into the lava crater.

Natsuo used the force to land back next to Yukino and the others. He was completely unharmed, and his clothes weren't even burned.

"Natsuo, you scared me!" Shiina Mahiru threw herself into his arms, crying tears of joy.

"Sorry, I startled you. I didn't expect it to breathe fire directly. It's so unsportsmanlike, launching a sneak attack. Luckily, my body has been strengthened to the point that I'm not afraid of a dragon's breath." Natsumi patted Shiina Mahiru's back to comfort her.

"Then why are your clothes okay?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously.

"I used a magic shield to block it, which consumed a lot of magic power," Xia Sheng explained.

"So that's how it is, that fire dragon..."

"7

"roar--!!!"

Before Yukino could finish her question, a furious dragon roar echoed from the lava pit.
