2041: Magma Dragon vs Devil (5)

Magma Dragon vs Devil (5)

The Magma Dragon looked at the devil to check his current condition. As expected, even though the devil had his entire arm melted, he didn't seem to be fazed.2

There was even a red slime flowing out of his body. Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the slime extended his 'red' body again and formed a hand, negating what the Magma Dragon had done a moment ago.

The Magma Dragon couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. He had expected something like this, but he could see something different from that arm. It seemed that the devil couldn't replicate the red slime that filled his body even though he could form an arm with his power.

It looked like the arm was empty since the Magma Dragon didn't see any extraordinary flow of Magic Power like the rest of the body.

'The liquid must be from the slime. And since the slime flowed outside like that, it didn't have anything to reproduce it. That arm was only there to contain the flow of the slime, but seeing that it didn't flow like how a liquid was supposed to be… I'm sure that there is a seal between the arm and the body.

'I don't know why, but it's clear that this hand won't be that powerful.' The Magma Dragon didn't realize that after getting Lightning Saint's advice, he became even more careful and tried to use all the knowledge that he had gathered in his head this whole time.

Of course, the Magma Dragon didn't have the same amount of knowledge. In fact, he never properly learned about them. Still, the Magma Dragon had a deep experience with liquid since his power and the place he resided contained it.

This was the first change the Magma Dragon had during the battle.

Although he understood the devil's power, he remained calm and didn't rush to end the battle. Instead, he calmly observed the devil's condition and ability.

'I see. He has the 'Red' Authority, making him the Red Saint. He can control everything as long as they are red. However, the red slime in his body is also like that, but he lets the slime flow out just like that.

'It seems that the red slime has a different property from the 'red' power. Considering the slime is planning to destroy the world itself, does that mean the slime's power has been disconnected from the world?

'No, if that's the case, he wouldn't be a Saint anymore… No matter how hard I think about this, I won't get anything. I should have learned more…'

The Magma Dragon let out a sigh. 'Still, this chance… I will properly take it. From what we know, the way to kill these weird creatures is to destroy both their head and heart. However, I don't think that's the only way.

'Since the slime can't be reproduced, I can simply create enough holes to drain all that slime. I'm pretty sure that this weird creature before me would die.' The Magma Dragon had set his eyes on defeating the devil.

As soon as he understood the situation, the Magma Dragon finally flew forward.

The devil seemed to be angry this time. He had believed that his power was far beyond what the Magma Dragon could handle. Yet, he received this kind of injury.

Even though he still could use the arm by using his power, the strength couldn't be compared to the original. Unless the slime absorbed him and recreated his body again, he wouldn't be able to recover.

That was why the devil planned to defeat the slime and somehow won the war.

He raised both hands and expanded them, matching the dragon's size.

The dragon smirked. He grabbed both these arms, not fearing the arm anymore.

Now that they had understood each other's strengths, they didn't hesitate to utilize their skills to gain some advantages. The dragon excreted the magma from his skin while the devil summoned multiple spikes from his back. The spikes soon surrounded the dragon.

In the meantime, the magma flowed backward to avoid the red hands.

The dragon didn't mind this since he immediately changed the temperature and formed the igneous rock in the outer layer of the magma.

The spikes tried to pierce through the Magma Dragon's skin, but it was useless. The spikes weren't strong enough to penetrate the hard rock that covered the dragon's body.

But it seemed that the heat couldn't do anything to the spikes either. Even though the temperature on the surface was enough to melt even a monster's hand, it didn't do anything to these red spikes.

Seeing this ability, the devil smirked while turning the spikes into tentacles. "You can't defeat me even if you understand my ability. Your magma can't melt my power!"

'As expected, his red color is not a normal power. As he said, the magma can't do anything to his red body. Unless he is too late to cover himself with his own power, there is no way my magma shot earlier can melt this creature's hand.

'However, maintaining this power requires a lot of Magic Power. If it's about the battle of endurance, I have no doubt in my ability. But…' The Magma Dragon fell silent. He couldn't help but remember the Lightning Saint. The latter had sacrificed a lot for his victory, so he didn't want to betray that trust.

There was only one thing he had to do. It was to kill the devil.

'My power should be able to kill him. It depends on how I use my power…' The Magma Dragon took a deep breath. The spikes had started to circle around his body, but there was no sign of rushing.

The devil might be confused, but it didn't change the fact that this was his chance. Even though he couldn't penetrate the dragon's scale, he could still kill him by repeatedly injuring him until his organs couldn't take it anymore.

When he was about to tie the dragon up, the Magma Dragon made a smirk. "There it is. My way to win."

The Magma Dragon suddenly sent all heads to their respective spikes, trying to sever the connections with his teeth.
