Book 12: Chapter 86

"Boom!!!"

On the ground, only the spirits could see a red dot appearing in the distant sky. After that, red flames erupted from that point, blending seamlessly with the red sky.

Centered around Lin Xiang, the flames spread out in all directions, covering an area of a hundred meters.

————Squeak, squeak, squeak

The bats emitted piercing cries. Within the flames, there was a smell of charred fur and flesh.

Some blackened objects that caught the fire plummeted from the sky to the ground.

Within the sea of flames, Lin Xiang was not sure about the extent of his fiery range or how many bats were affected.

Only the screeches of the bats echoed in his ears, but soon, even those ceased.

"Phew~" Valarie heaved a sigh of relief, returning to her usual expressionless state.

Lin Xiang knew he had successfully taken down that group of bats, and now Valarie was no longer disturbed by the sound waves.

"Your flames... are quite impressive," Valarie remarked. Then she looked toward the west.

"Ha, it's just alright," Lin Xiang smiled, looking at the surrounding red flames with some confusion.

Why weren't my flames yellow? According to the previous spiritual fire, they should have been yellow...

However, red flames were a pure element, far superior in grade to yellow ones, so Lin Xiang stopped thinking much about it.

"Hmm?" Lin Xiang felt something suddenly swell against his back, where Valarie's chest was usually flat.

It felt soft, with considerable elasticity. Was it an illusion?

Of course, that was just one of the factors that puzzled him. Another was that the dispersed “Flame of Hell” in the air was flowing back towards him, or to be precise, towards Valarie.

Like a whirlpool in water, the flames flowed into Valarie's body. When Lin Xiang turned to look, indeed, Valarie had entered her mature state.

“I was just kidding, Little Valarie, you're really something. I'm so petite and cute, how could I possibly beat that big guy up?” Bellina wagged along behind Valarie.

"Ah-oh!" After dealing with the bats, the dragons flying in the sky regained their composure. Some actively flew towards the poison dragon coming from the west.

"No! You can't go there!" Lin Xiang shouted at those dragons, but they simply ignored him, brushing past Lin Xiang and his group.

"Valarie, that poison dragon isn't an ordinary dragon, it's a demonic dragon. It's dangerous for those dragons to go."

"Dragons have their own dignity. Since they have decided to fight, we cannot stop them."

"That's right! So telling us to retreat is insulting our dignity, do you understand? You damn human kid!"

That was the first time Lin Xiang realized how little he knew about dragons. Even after visiting Dragonborn Village, he had not learned much about dragons.

No wonder Valarie suddenly entered her mature form. She wanted to fight.

"Valarie, I'm sorry. I didn't know about this."

"It's nothing.... For ordinary dragons... they’re like that... but for... ancient dragons... with higher consciousness... it depends on... the situation. That... poison dragon is... indeed not simple. Also... I can't fight... at full strength... in the air."

While speaking, Lin Xiang heard dragon roars, a mournful cry from the dragons.

Looking back, a toxic mist appeared in the air, and several dragons emitting purple aura fell from it, crashing towards the ground.

The other dragons that were relatively far away also realized the danger of the poison dragon and started flying back. However, being too close, they could not escape in time.

The wind dragon, the fastest among them, soared high, attempting to escape the poison dragon by altitude. However, the poison dragon followed closely, not lagging behind.

"Puff!" Suddenly, a burst of poisonous gas from the Poison Dragon's mouth hit the Wind Dragon's back, covering its entire body in purple. The Wind Dragon crashed onto the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and startled birds.

"A poison dragon?" Yalide's eerie red eyes shone as she whistled. A wind dragon that had been circling in the air flew over.

Landing in front of Yalide, it caused a tremor on the ground. With a light leap, Yalide hopped onto the dragon's back, despite the spirits' slightly fearful gaze.
