Chapter 225: VS Earth Dragon Part II

Boom!

Seeing her fireballs exploded upon impact, Sheila quickly conjure more around her as if believing her initial attack wouldn't put as much as a scratch on the dragon. With a wave of her hand, the fireballs zoomed like a cannonball being fired from artillery aiming at the reptile head.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One explosion after another resounds throughout the area. The onlooker that witnessed everything happening on the scene was astounded at the sight. They saw the person riding the flying tiger summoning a fireball out of thin air as if they are a magician of the sort, that isn't something that they would see in ordinary life. It's simply something out of a storybook that is very illogical to their common sense.

Maybe their world isn't so scientific after all, so they thought.

Roar!

With a piercing cry that shook the ground, the Earth Dragon effortlessly wiped out the smoke caused by the explosion, and from a single glance, Sheila could immediately tell it remains unharmed from her attacks. 'As expected of a dragon, the defensive property from its scale is certainly impressive. Then how about this?'

When a burning spear suddenly emerged to her right, she could feel about one-third of her mana depleted at once yet the smile on her face remain unchanged. The dragon instinctively senses the might behind the flaming spear so, without a second thought, it suddenly inhales fresh air quite deeply, and evidently, Sheila immediately noticed its throat slowly getting brighter orange— it's a dragon breath! When that thought crossed her mind, she hurriedly aims at its head before firing her spell.

The moment the spear flew toward it, she quickly pulled White Tiger and herself higher up to the sky with her telekinesis power, and a second later, a dragon's breath blew away the spear and the cloud at her previous spot.

Seeing the beams blew out of the dragon's mouth like some sort of special move, Sheila could feel her body growing cold as she wipes the sweat off her forehead with a thought in mind, 'if that had hit me, I'd definitely die.'

Her body may stand a chance against bullets from a certain distance and under normal circumstances, though, she couldn't last more than a few seconds before turning to ashes against that breath. Even if she has an elixir, she could still die if she didn't drink the potion in time. This is the real world where her option is limited. It would've been easy if she could simply pull the dragon into the Trial Tower, and then slice its neck while it was immobilized by the almighty power of 'system.'

But life isn't so easy.

She didn't know the exact reason, but it failed when she once attempted. Maybe it's too big, or maybe there's another logical reason, either way, one thing she's sure of is that she can only face the dragon head-on.

When Sheila took a quick look behind her, she was amazed at the sheer destruction that comes from that single breath. It was as if someone had erased an entire long section of the line, be it buildings or vehicles, or maybe even people and animals, everything simply incinerates to nothing. It's certainly possible within her means to enact the same or possibly worse destruction, but that doesn't mean she will do it.

One thing she was unwilling to part with is none other than technology—one that gave birth to her favorite pastime hobby.

Humans had evolved so much, both in terms of intellectual and scientific, so that it's already ingrained into her that makes her who she is as a modern person. If the sign of the apocalypse that she faintly senses isn't just her mere paranoia at play, it wouldn't matter much. But if it holds certain truth to the matter, she would do everything in her power to protect the thing she loves the most—games.

With a deep breath, Sheila relaxed her posture as her mind calmed down yet her eyes remain determined and locked onto the earth dragon. She had concluded that although her level is lower, she can also do as much damage as the dragon in level 50, or possibly more. That means her strength is in no way inferior to the dragon, this finding gives her a breadth of mind.

With a smile, she suddenly jumped from White Tiger and calmly levitated in the sky before the gravity could pull her down to Earth. While White Tiger and Phoenix were taking the brunt of the hit from the dragon in her place, she slowly equipped a strange blue-colored glove on her right arm which she pulled out of her inventory before she exaggeratedly waves the same hand vertically at the dragon.

Roar!

'Reality slashes, just kidding.' She jokingly thought in her mind while watching a half-moon wind emerge immediately after, heeding to her action, and unlike all of her previous attacks, it leaves a long line of cut on the earth dragon's back as the latter howled in pain upon receiving her gift. No matter how tough the dragon's hide is, it isn't completely indestructible.

Rumble!

Following its cry, approximately a hundred meters away from the earth dragon, the few people on the scene suddenly experience a terrible earthquake that would certainly mark their final day on earth if not for a random group of people in an assassin-like getup appearing out of nowhere and saving them in time.

Sheila only took a glance in their direction before focusing her attention back on the bloodthirsty dragon staring fiercely at her. After suffering a painful injury in a long while since it appeared in a new land, it had finally decided to use all its power to destroy the lesser human floating in the sky. It might have underestimated them before since it appeared humans of this land were way weaker than what it remembers from its memories, but who would've thought such a weak creature would dare to tame it of all things.

The Earth Dragon was furious. It brought an earthquake hoping that alone will kill the foolish group of humans, but they managed to flee at the price of their members. So it decided to chase after them, and it almost got to them until a truly strong human appeared before it.

It was a human that wore a strange thing on its face which makes it entirely impossible from being seen, though, the Earth Dragon couldn't care less about that. What remained on the Earth Dragon's thought was nothing but the death of the strong human, and punishment upon the greedy humans.
