......
Seeing Shin and Alice escaping the effects of the 'Dragon Fear' within an instant, the Green Dragon suddenly became enraged and released another powerful roar.
Roar!
This roar did not contain any kind of soul and spiritual attack or intimidating effects, but it carried a series of shockwaves that repeatedly pushed Shin and Alice, who were standing in the distance.
Seeing the strong gust of wind heading toward them, Shin quickly raised his hand and swiftly summoned a psychic barrier through the Demonic Telekinesis Skill to protect the two of them.
At the same time, Alice slammed the bottom of her magic scepter on the ground to summon a thick ice wall to block the violent wave.
Bang! Bang!
The ice wall was instantly shattered into pieces, but the momentum of the shockwaves was greatly reduced and unable to put any damage to the two, who were under the protection of the psychic barrier.
But that was not the end as the Green Dragon suddenly slammed one of its front paws on the ground, intensity shaking the ground.
Bang!
While Shin and Alice were trying to find their footing from the mini-earthquake, thick vines suddenly shot out from the ground and flew toward the pair, seemingly wanting to wrap themselves at those two.
Such an attack could be easily countered with a fire spell due to the elemental counter. However, since the stormy weather within the region greatly restricted the element of fire, Alice could not use them.
Instead, she chose an element that could greatly work in the current environment.
With the assistance of Elemental Spirit Possession of Suijin, Alice waved her hand and pointed forward, sending a chilling wind that froze everything in its path.
'Elven Sage Skill (Tier 2): Breath of the Northern Wind'
Swoosh!
Freezing the falling rain and the wet ground, the incoming vines were also frozen in place by the chilling wind.
Bang! Bang!
However, that could barely stop them as they quickly broke through the ice and aggressively moved forward.
But with that brief delay, Shin was able to step forward and placed himself between Alice and the incoming vines with his signature sword-drawing stance.
Click!
Then, with the subtle sound reverberating in the air, Shin pulled the sword out of the sheath and swung it multiple times at the incoming vines in front of him.
Shing!
'Jade Kirin Scripture: Quick Draw – (Lightning) Flash Requiem'
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A series of sword flashes appeared in the air. They blocked the incoming vines and sliced them into multiple pieces with intertwining lines.
Click!
When the sword returned to its sheath, the shredded pieces of the vines fell on the ground one after another as he stood in the middle of them.
He did not even look behind him as he said to Alice. "I'll confront it head-on. Support me with your spells."
Right after leaving those words, a powerful stomp on the ground sent a strong shockwave that spread in every direction and destroyed the surrounding ground with flying rock fragments in the air.
Boom!
With a thunderclap sound, lightning seemed to have fallen from the ground and struck the ground as electric currents danced around in the air and surrounding Shin. However, it was in black and white color.
Things were going so smoothly that Shin started to become suspicious of something. This battle was going way too easy that it did not seem to be a battle against a powerful being such as a Green Dragon.
Shin remembered that event where Shin and the others fought against the ice dragon in the Frozen Kingdom.
Immortal's involvement in that battle was one thing as well as his Undying Undead Army, but that was only one of the factors. The dragon itself was too powerful.
Of course, Shin had also to consider that the bloodline of that dragon was of a royal tribe, which was also one of the strongest dragon tribes.
Meanwhile, this Green Dragon seemed to belong to the most ordinary tribe. Adding the seal that was absorbing its powers, it would not be strange that it was much weaker.
Regardless, Shin could still not shake off the feeling that there was something off in the situation.
The physical strength and natural magic of this Greed Dragon was still one of the strongest of the monsters that Shin had encountered, but Shin still felt that something was missing.

That 'might' of a dragon seemed to be lacking.
Just like this, Shin and Alice were able to grind the health bar of the Green Dragon down to half, giving them the impression that it was way too smooth.
At this point, even Alice noticed that something was out of place. Something was way off the place.
Then, out of nowhere, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed. The air seemed to become heavier and suffocating, making the two put their vigilance to the highest level.
And when they realized where the danger was coming from, the two quickly stopped in their tracks and put everything they had on defense.
Alice raised her Elemental Scepter in the air and summoned a bunch of mirror-like ice around her, forming a solid barrier.

Then she slammed the bottom of her scepter on the ground while infusing her mana on it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of ice spikes suddenly sprouted from the ground and formed a lotus-like formation that protected her.
With the help of this skill, she used a mentalism technique of her family.
'Formless Lotus Art: Blooming Lotus'
Swoosh!
In the meantime, Shin quickly sheathed the [Yamato] and placed it in front of him diagonally. Along with the psychic barrier that was produced with 'Demonic Telekinesis', he summoned another spherical barrier using 'Eclipse Pulse'.
But instead of using the signature blazing sphere, Shin used the original powers that he usually used with this skill. He separated the Power of the Primordial Eclipse and turned it into the Powers of the Brilliant Sun and Abyssal Moon, forming an alternating black and white barrier.
'Self-Created Skill (Combined): Ultimate Eclipse'
Swoosh!
Right after the two put their defenses, an explosion wrecked the whole place. It shook the entire region while forming a huge hurricane that swallowed Shin and Alice at the same time.
BOOM!
Fortunately, the two were quick enough to put up their respective defenses and saved themselves from being swept by that explosion directly.
When the cloud of smoke and dirt finally receded, Shin and Alice could vaguely see a humanoid figure standing in the middle of everything.
The two instantly realized what just happened after outlining the figure standing a few distance away from them.
"Don't tell me that overgrown lizard has evolved!?" mumbled Shin as he realized where the earlier premonition was coming from.
