Crossover Anime/Manga - Not Everyday Life

Chapter 376: Equipment Dropped

boom--!

The fire dragon's massive body crashed heavily onto the ice.

The ice surface was solid, without any cracks or ice chips.

"roar..

""

The fire dragon lay motionless on the ice, groaning weakly. Its body was tattered and mangled.

Its body was covered in wounds and dents, most of its scales were broken, and golden blood was seeping out.

Xia Sheng's punches landed squarely, each one delivered with full force, and he was still in his dragon form. How could the fire dragon possibly withstand that?

Even if it has indestructible scales, Xia Sheng's fist is also like dragon scales.

When the hardest materials collide, it doesn't mean nothing happens; rather, both are severely damaged.

Xia Sheng then descended from the sky and landed beside the fire dragon, a smile on his face, somewhat arrogant.

He was very excited and proud.

The feeling of each punch landing was truly exhilarating. The opponent was a dragon, and he managed to cripple him with each blow.

How could he not be pleased?

Liquid was dripping from his dragon claws, some golden and some red.

It wasn't just the dragon's blood, but also his own.

The scales on his dragon claws were also torn open.

This would result in a lose-lose situation.

But is it possible for the attacker to suffer more damage than the defender?

"Natsuo."

Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina came to his side.

"How are you?" Shiina Mahiru asked with concern, looking at his bleeding hand.

"I'm fine, look."

Xia Sheng raised his dragon claw, and a shimmering white light seemed to appear on it. Then, his wounds visibly healed completely.

Including the scales of the dragon's claws.

"It's good that you're alright." Shiina Mahiru smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do we do now? It seems unable to move; you've ruined it," Yukino Yukinoshita asked.

"After all, it's just a living being. No matter how powerful it is, it can't withstand endless attacks."

"So, do you want to drink its blood?"

"We definitely need it, but let's deal with this first."

"Wait a minute!" Shiina Mahiru suddenly stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Xia Sheng looked at her in confusion.

Shiina Mahiru did not answer, but stepped forward, approaching the fire dragon. Then she raised her hand, and a black fire lotus condensed in her palm.

"You wouldn't be thinking of...?" Xia Sheng saw through her thoughts.

"Hmm, I'd like to see if my flames are still useless."

As Shiina Mahiru spoke, she threw the black lotus down from the fire dragon, smashing it onto the part of its body covered in red scales.

The moment the black flames touched it, they spread rapidly, enveloping most of the fire dragon's corpse and scorching its scales.

But, naturally, it didn't work.

When the black flames were completely burned away, the dragon's scales were intact and unharmed.

"It's really useless... What happened to my flames being able to burn everything?" Shiina Mahiru pouted unhappily.

"It must be that the dragon's scales have special defensive capabilities, which is why your abilities are useless," Xia Sheng guessed.

Neither Shiina Mahiru's black flames, nor Yukino Yukinoshita's freezing power, nor even Yuigahama Yui's destructive power, could make a difference.

It can only be said that the dragon's scales seem to be specifically designed to defend against their skills.

That makes sense. In a contest between worlds, if one side has the ability to deal with invaders, the other side will naturally have its own methods to cope.

"Then we'll be useless in the future?"

"It's not that bad. Aside from scales, you have plenty of other things you can handle, don't you?" Xia Sheng reminded him.

"That's true~"

"You can handle this fire dragon."

"Leave it to me."

Shiina Mahiru was in high spirits. She once again condensed a black fire lotus, went to the fire dragon's head, aimed at its huge mouth, and threw the fire lotus at it.

The black flames touched the fire dragon's mouth and tongue, quickly spreading and burning, and then engulfing its body.

"roar--!"

The fire dragon was in pain, screaming and howling as it rolled around, spewing black flames from its mouth.

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Xia Sheng put his arms around the waists of the two women on either side and carried them back away.

What he feared was not only the impact, but also the possibility of the magic core exploding.

He didn't know if the fire dragon had a magic core, but he didn't want to experience time travel again.

There's nothing to regret, and there's even the possibility of changing history.

If he were to be careless and not be brought here by the world, then all hope would be lost.

This is what Xia Sheng fears most.

The fire dragon was still screaming in agony, its pitiful writhing and rolling around was quite heartbreaking, and Xia Sheng felt a little guilty watching it.

It's a bit cruel to life.

Of course, I feel guilty, but I still deserve to die.

"Isn't this a bit cruel?" Shiina Mahiru couldn't bear to watch either.

"What's the big deal? It just tried to kill Natsuo," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.

"Oh right, it's alright then, damn it." Shiina Mahiru immediately stopped caring.

"Hehe~" Xia Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

The two of them were being a bit hypocritical, but he liked it because they were thinking of him after all.

After howling for a while, the fire dragon stopped moving and lost its life force.

It was burned alive by Shiina Mahiru's black flames, and its body must have been completely rotten inside.

To Xia Sheng's surprise, it did not exhibit the symptoms of a black dragon, such as magic power going berserk. Was it because it did not have a magic core?

However, it's also possible that they were all burned to ashes by Shiina Mahiru's black flames.

"Natsuo Fire Dragon is dead. You can now consume its blood," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her.

"Um.

""

Xia Sheng didn't need to go to the fire dragon to draw blood; he already had it in his hand—the remaining golden liquid constantly tempting his appetite.

The Devouring Technique had long been eagerly awaiting its arrival.

He licked the blood from his hand into his mouth, swallowed it, then closed his eyes and began to feel the changes within his body.

I hope to give him a little surprise.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina stood guard over him, one on his left and one on his right.

The moment the blood enters the body, the Devouring Technique begins to activate, immediately absorbing and refining it.

Xia Sheng felt a strange energy flowing through his entire body; it was neither magic nor elemental power.

The energy was scalding hot, like magma, and wherever it flowed, it burned every inch of his muscles and bones, as if forging him.

Xia Sheng is now able to withstand the pain.

Compared to the black dragon's energy backlash, it was far inferior, and he had also become stronger.

After the energy flowed throughout his body, it condensed towards Xia Sheng's back, as if trying to transform into something.

He felt something on his back, as if something was about to emerge.

Could it be...?

Just as they had a guess, Xia Sheng's upper body clothes burst open, and a pair of wings formed from flames extended from his back.

The flames are dazzling, and the wings are elegant.

"It's grown wings..." Yukino Yukinoshita showed a slight surprise, but also seemed to take it for granted.

Xia Sheng definitely needs wings.

"So beautiful!" Shiina Mahiru's eyes lit up.

The wings were not abrupt; they were formed from condensed flame energy, fluttering gently in a natural and harmonious manner.

"I'll try out these wings first."

Xia Sheng couldn't wait to test the wings' abilities. He leaped up, flapping his wings, and flew freely in the air.

After going around in circles for a while, Xia Sheng understood the power of these wings.

These fiery wings not only allowed him to fly, but also made him fly at an extremely fast speed. Moreover, he instantly and perfectly integrated with the wings, as if they were his own limbs.

He flew through the air as if he were moving on the ground, without any sense of incongruity.

He won't be afraid of air combat in the future.

"Natsuo, take us flying for a bit!" Shiina Mahiru shouted at him from the ground, seeing the movement.

"it is good."

Xia Sheng flew back to the ground, grabbed the two of them around the waist on either side, and then took them both into the air.

"Wait... I didn't say I wanted to experience it too."

"Yukino, stop being so hypocritical."

"I...

'

After just a brief experience of flying through the air, Yukino Yukinoshita was speechless with dissent.

This feeling is truly incredible.

Soaring freely, unrestrained, with a light and ethereal feeling.

The three of them flew through the air, enjoying their freedom, flying side by side, until their bodies became ethereal and they departed.

At the same time, Xia Sheng heard his notification sound in his mind.
