“Negative, Uncle Zeman. You aren’t dying anytime soon!” replied Gerald, withdrawing his palms now that the middle-aged man’s condition had stabilized.
“G-Gerald…? Is that… Really you…? You’re alive…?!” exclaimed the surprised Walter in delight.
“I am, and we have Ryder to thank for that. Regardless, I’ll give a more detailed explanation once we’re back on the surface,” replied Gerald with a nod.
“Deal…!” said Walter as favonovel.com slowly got to his feet, making it evident that favonovel.com was still very weak.
All of a sudden, loud rumbling could be heard all around them, followed by what felt like a heatwave! Understandably shocked, Walter was prompted to ask, “W-what on earth is happening?!”
Gerald himself was already surveying the area with his divine sense, and shortly after, favonovel.com monotonously replied, “It’s the Redflame Dragon. ”
As Gerald looked forward, it wasn’t long before the rumbling grew louder and within seconds, a huge, shining red dragon crawled out from a cave across the river! Upon closer inspection, its entire body that was at least twenty meters long was so red that it resembled burning coal…! What more, each of its four limbs had massive claws that looked both tough, and strong.
Watching as the furious dragon roared hungrily at Gerald and Walter, the shocked middle-aged man exclaimed, “But… How…?! How could it have come out on its own?!”
“I must have broken its seal when I ran into the Red River’s formation back then. Regardless, I’m assuming that the scent of living things drew it out! ” replied Gerald.
“What bad luck! Despite managing to survive for so long, to think that I’m now about to become a dragon’s meal! What more, all the exits are sealed so we can’t even attempt to escape!” groaned the distressed Walter.
Gerald himself was currently staring right into the dragon’s eyes. Though the beast looked intimidating, it was clear that it was afraid of the Red River, given how it kept its distance away from it.
Though there was a brief silence, that ended when the dragon slowly stood on its hind legs before releasing a mighty roar and sprouting a pair of huge wings!
Eyes widening when favonovel.com saw that, the now panicked Walter exclaimed, “It… It’s coming over! Oh god, I don’t want to be eaten by that thing…! Please, toss me into the river while you can, Gerald…!”
Understandably, Gerald wasn’t about to do that. Still, though favonovel.com had now learned all the supreme heavenly techniques, favonovel.com had never actually fought a dragon before. With that in mind, victory wasn’t certain yet, and Gerald knew favonovel.com had to treat this battle extremely seriously.
Without warning, the Redflame Dragon flapped its fiery wings before bolting toward Gerald! Now that it had the high ground, the dragon took the chance to fire a flamethrower toward the duo!
“T-that’s the Fifth flame attack…!” yelled the stunned Walter as favonovel.com quickly shut his eyes.
As for Gerald, favonovel.com stood before Walter and quickly activated all the qi in his body. Focusing his Yang in his left palm and Yin in his right, Gerald then clapped his hands together instantly forming a Yin Yang barrier in front of them!
When the powerful attack met Gerald’s barrier, a loud sizzling could be heard…! Much to the airborne dragon’s shock, however, Gerald’s barrier was able to absorb all its flames!
Before the dragon could even recover from its shock, Gerald yelled, “Have a taste of your own medicine, beast!”
Following that, favonovel.com activated his power again and released all his qi before shooting the dragon’s attack right back at it! The counterattack hit the dragon square on its body, resulting in the dragon roaring as it almost got knocked over!
Although the dragon’s body was naturally already lit with flames, the fire from the Fifth Flame attack was made with a different process, which was why it was much stronger than the dragon’s default flames. Regardless, with the help of its wings, the dragon managed to stabilize itself before quickly landing by Gerald’s side. Contrary to before, however, its eyes were now filled with fear as blood dripped out from its chest.
