Divine Realm: Starting with the Broken Bone Dragon

"He actually succeeded."

Lin Fan swatted the hellish beast away with a single claw, no longer distracted.

This put immense pressure on the eight fighters. They had just been able to hold their own against the bone dragon, so how did they suddenly find themselves at a disadvantage?

Three more fourth-tier spells instantly materialized and crashed down onto the ground.

Fourth-tier magic - Thousand Miles of Frozen Land

The thick ice surface took shape, freezing the earth and the hellish beasts firmly, yet it melted rapidly under the terrifyingly high temperature on the surface of these hellish beasts.

However, this time was enough for Lin Fan.

Four fifth-tier ice spells slammed into the ground once more, instantly freezing the surrounding area into a layer of ice tens of meters thick.

Even for these fourth-tier hellish beasts, breaking through this ice surface would be no easy task!

The group of fighters kept their eyes darting around in the ice, controlling the lava to flow across the surface and making a hissing sound.

"They're frozen solid; there's no way they'll get out so easily."

Lin Fan sneered, and four metal-based spells formed above his head.

Thanks to the enormous amount of magic power within him, even after using so much magic in battle, his magic power remained abundant, showing no signs of weakness.

These boss-level hellish beasts have extremely high defense; even fifth-tier magic cannot easily kill them, leaving Lin Fan quite helpless.

Inside the ice, E'zhan watched the approaching magic, his eyes filled with incomprehension and despair.

They have been immersed in the secret realm for so many years, but due to the rules of the secret realm, they have been unable to break through to the Lord level and can only keep improving their other abilities.

Physical fitness is one of the abilities they focus on improving, which has given them overwhelming strength when facing other demigods in the past.

The most dangerous time was when millions of elites stormed into the core of the secret realm. At that time, there were only a few hundred thousand elite-level combatants in the secret realm, who were no match for these ogres.

But the moment those eight appeared, the situation instantly reversed.

With a physique comparable to the fifth tier, coupled with the bloodline secret technique that allows them to continuously summon underground magma to regenerate, they can inflict heavy casualties on elite-level enemies while being unable to cause them much harm.

In just one month, these demigods who had invaded the secret realm were wiped out.

But now, how come this boss-level bone dragon is overwhelming their eight hellish beasts?

They have physiques comparable to those of a fifth-tier rank. Could it be that this bone dragon has destructive power comparable to that of a fifth-tier rank?

Moreover, the bone dragon's defense was no less than theirs; their attacks felt like mere tickles.

The golden light suddenly solidified, and Lin Fan swung his claws fiercely, unleashing a full-force attack!

boom!!

With a loud bang, the golden light pierced into E Zhan's body, and the terrifying power exploded, blasting his body into several pieces.

Lin Fan didn't stop moving. Taking advantage of the fact that these hellish beasts hadn't broken through the ice magic's blockade, he condensed four more metal magic spells and fiercely attacked another hellish beast.

With one strike, he shattered the body of another hellish beast into pieces.

The situation instantly changed from eight to one to six to one!

At this moment, the evil official and his accomplices finally broke through the ice. Looking at the ice walls that were tens of meters high around them, they no longer cared about conserving the resources of the secret realm. Hundreds of meters high magma columns suddenly shot out from the pit where they were, covering the entire surrounding ice surface.

The intense lava forced Lin Fan to fly high into the sky to avoid being harmed by the lava.

In the distant palace, the chieftain, realizing that the secret realm's magma was being consumed in large quantities, turned pale.

"A bunch of useless idiots, they can't even handle this simple task!"

The chief cursed angrily and immediately left the palace. He wanted to see what kind of enemy would wage such a large-scale battle.

...

Looking at the figure in front of her, clad in armor and wielding a long spear, Jiang Mengyao tentatively spoke:

"Number One?"

Number One nodded and reconnected to Jiang Mengyao's mental link:

"it's me."

Jiang Mengyao asked in surprise, "You can talk?"

Number One: ....

Shouldn't we be shocked by his sudden strength and how he managed to save her?

Number One thought this way, and that's what he asked. As a skeleton, he simply couldn't learn the refined way of speaking that people used to have when they were alive.

"You can talk now, but shouldn't you be shocked that I successfully saved you?"

Jiang Mengyao was taken aback.

She can fly! And with Lin Fan's protection, she wouldn't be afraid of anything, not just elite-level hellish beasts, but even boss-level hellish beasts.

Moreover, if Lin Fan hadn't suddenly shouted at her not to run, she would have flown away long ago. How could she have just stood there blankly?

She's not that stupid!

"Um, actually I can fly."

Jiang Mengyao couldn't bear to shatter Number One's fantasy, so she could only gently remind Number One that she had wings.

Upon hearing this, Number One was somewhat discouraged and turned away to the side.

Just as Jiang Mengyao was about to offer some praise, she heard Number One mutter:

"So what if they can fly? These hellish beasts can breathe fireballs! What if you get hit? They can just use me as their bodyguard. With my current strength, none of the skeleton legions can even stand a chance against me!"

After all, the bone dragon didn't belong to the skeleton army, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.

Number One nodded to himself, and was about to continue speaking when he heard Jiang Mengyao say quietly.

"Furthermore, Lin Fan left me with a fifth-tier protective spell, so even if a boss-level hellish beast comes, it won't be able to do anything to me."

Number One: .....

Then what about all that effort I just put in, even sacrificing my own memories to protect you?

Am I just being presumptuous?

Watching Number One walk along, drawing circles on the ground with his gleaming silver spear, Jiang Mengyao felt as if he had turned into a stone statue, looking like he was about to die.

"However, your strength is indeed formidable!"

Jiang Mengyao praised him and then spoke again:

"From now on, you will follow Stone 1 and lead the Gargoyle Legion in the charge."

The soul fire in Number One's eyes suddenly ignited, leading the gargoyles in a charge—not bad, huh?

"I brought Shi 1 with me, not the other way around."

Number One emphasized this point, clearly in a good mood.

In the past, he could only watch Shi Yi charge forward and fight, and he could only look at Shi Yi's figure with envy. Now, it was finally his turn!

You used to look down on me because of my low combat power, but now that I'm an elite, what should you call me, Stone 1?

Just as Number One was about to confront Stone 1, his gaze suddenly fell upon a gargoyle head. This head was a size larger than the other excellent-grade gargoyles, and it was none other than Stone 1.

Number One suddenly remembered that when the elite-level hellish beasts charged into the skeleton army, it was Stone 1 who led the excellent-level gargoyles to the front, and they were also the gargoyles that died the fastest.

Even though his intelligence improved considerably after the breakthrough and he understood that Stone 1 could be resurrected and return, he still couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"Forget it, I'll just go with Shi Yi..."
