Chapter 2416: Chapter 1337: Dragon and Knight_2

During this process, the elite rider on the dragon’s back, Leo Ray, noticed an ancient power clearly rippling from within, which should be the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline that Serene mentioned earlier.

“My Lord, I apologize for startling you.”

As he regained his footing, Red Night’s apologetic voice sounded and then reached Leo Ray’s ear: “The impact of these pure energies was even more intense than I imagined, causing each of my dragon scales to feel as if it was about to crack.”

“But you pulled through, didn’t you?”

Leo Ray’s voice was gentle as he responded: “The power of the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline is truly extraordinary.”

“My Lord, you flatter me, but this is just the beginning.”

Red Night’s voice still held a hint of pain as he continued: “The next crucial step is to convert the pure Power of the Magical Ley Lines into my own strength.”

“I’m sorry, my Lord, for causing you trouble.”

He finished speaking, and Red Night roared deeply, his massive dragon body starting to tremble again. Leo Ray could even clearly hear Red Night’s heart beating rapidly, like the roar of a drum.

“Adapting to this energy won’t be easy!”

Facing Leo Ray and Red Night directly, Poluso, realizing that the Dragon Breath had no effect, began to mobilize a dense swarm of “Corrosion”, rushing at us frantically.

From Poluso’s voice, it was clear he was in a state of extreme irritation.

It was no wonder since, after Red Night harnessed part of the surging ley line energy, the encircling flames were noticeably thinner.

In other words, Red Night was competing for the energy. However, due to his lack of adaptation, the extent he could struggle for was relatively limited.

“Red Night, no need to apologize. You are my Mount Dragon, and my most trusted partner. You just focus on converting the strength; I will be your protector.”

The top of Leo Ray’s Odust in his hand was shimmering with Thunder Light, and the faint rumbling sound soon filled the surroundings.

“Boy, I want to see how long you can hold out!”

With Poluso’s enraged voice, a dense swarm of bizarre purple eyeballs rushed in like an avalanche.

“Thunder Arc Burst!”

With a high-pitched chant, Leo Ray focused his mind, and a giant crescent-shaped Thunder Light surged forward.

Where the giant Thunder Light reached, the oncoming “Corrosion” suddenly paused, sizzled, and fell into a paralyzed state.

And that wasn’t all. Affected by the paralyzed “Corrosion”, the Thunder Light continued to rampage, and soon, even the “Corrosion” that hadn’t been reached by the spell was immobilized, surrounded by flashing Thunder Light.

Seeing this scene, Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction.

This is the essence of the Thunder Arc Burst: as long as one target is damaged by the spell, the bursting arc will quickly leap to other nearby targets, causing the same damage and paralysis.

With the opponent’s actions halted, Leo Ray unleashed full firepower, and combined with the power of Thunder Arc Burst, the dense “Corrosion” couldn’t get close at all and even showed signs of retreating.

Of course, during this process, the power of the Stone Spirits like Little Jie was also rapidly depleting, but Leo Ray could no longer concern himself with that. Once he or Red Night got parasitized, it would all be over.

Thus, Leo Ray knew clearly that this was a race against time. Once Red Night successfully gained the Power of Magical Ley Lines, his strength would greatly increase.

By then, as long as he mobilized all the power of the ley lines, plus his trump cards, there would be hope to defeat the mastermind. But once the Stone Spirits’ energy was exhausted, the outcome was foreseen.

“Boy, as I, the Lonely King, said earlier, I don’t believe your power is inexhaustible!”

Seeing Leo Ray’s unstoppable attack, Poluso sneered, as more “Corrosion” emerged, accompanied by flashes of bizarre purple light, continuing to sweep towards Leo Ray and Red Night.

For a moment, riding on the dragon’s back, Leo Ray battled wave after wave of attacking “Corrosion”, making the allied forces and dragons like Serene who watched from outside feel anxious and fearful.

If they were caught in such a tight encirclement, they would become cocooned in an instant, turned into puppets manipulated by the opponent.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, you must hold on!”

Serene, uncaring about her missing tooth, continually prayed in her heart: “And Red Night, speed up a little, I’ll admit you’re just a bit more powerful, is that not enough?”

Beside Serene, whether it was Elder Bing, Yonir, Grey Elder, Louise, or Diana, they were all very tense, even clutching their collars tightly.

“Is your power running low?”

With everyone focused on him, Thunder Light was flashing around Leo Ray, his expression calm, knowing that only by keeping the opponent guessing could he turn the situation from passive to active.

Once Red Night acquired the Power of Magical Ley Lines, the one in trouble would be the opponent. To let the enemy see his face, Leo Ray had already lifted the visor on his Knight Helmet.

After all, the opponent didn’t really know how much power he still had. When they realized “Corrosion” was ineffective, they might personally intervene.

Then, with several trump cards in play, Leo Ray might be able to buy Red Night some more time.

“From the current situation, the opponent should be unable to attack personally while controlling “Corrosion”. Otherwise, they should have used both Dragon Breath and “Corrosion” from the start, not just Dragon Breath.”

Leo Ray analyzed the situation, thinking to himself. Unbeknownst to him, a bead of sweat silently rolled down the back of his head, but because he was wearing a helmet, it wasn’t noticed by the opponent.

“How can that insignificant ant still launch such a vigorous attack without any sign of conserving strength? Is its power more substantial than the Lonely King imagined?”

Facing Leo Ray directly, and looking at his calm demeanor, Poluso’s eyes, filled with malice, grew darker.

He clearly understood that the best time to take out Leo Ray and Red Night was before Red Night fully comprehended the power of the ley lines.

Once Red Night completely mastered the ley line power, not only would his strength greatly increase, but he would also be able to mobilize the magical ley lines to the fullest.

By then, Poluso would be very passive, especially since Leo Ray had ways to counter the strange purple eyeballs he controlled.

And as Leo Ray had analyzed, guided by the mastermind behind the scenes, Poluso needed to fully concentrate to direct the mysterious creatures like “Corrosion”. If he got distracted by attacking himself, the “Corrosion” would quickly disperse without orders.

As for why Poluso didn’t personally attack, it was because even he would have to spend considerable effort converting ley line power, and any movement would break the spell, causing a backlash akin to magical recoil that weakened him. Thus, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t easily give up.

“But if that humble ant’s power is truly abundant, wouldn’t my attacks be completely in vain?”

Poluso’s vertically slitted dragon eyes narrowed, trying to find any clue from Leo Ray’s expression, but ultimately found nothing.

“But one thing is certain: Red Night is currently in his weakest state, with almost no ability to resist. If I can take him out first, then the Lonely King can be at ease!”

With this in mind, Poluso decisively abandoned using the flaming ribbon and transformed his massive body into a shooting star, blasting toward Leo Ray and Red Night!

As the opponent moved, Leo Ray noticed that the frenzied “Corrosion” indeed dispersed entirely, leaving only Poluso’s massive body approaching rapidly.

“Have the Stone Spirits’ powers nearly run out? Fortunately, the opponent didn’t have the patience.

Leo Ray’s brows arched slightly as he brandished a Tier 6 Magic Scroll, thinking to himself: “Then let’s buy Red Night a bit more time.”

However, as Leo Ray was fully focused on the mastermind, another huge figure silently appeared behind him, shrouded in a killing aura.
