Facing this breath, Renn, as a Gold Rank Grand Warrior, reacted instantly.
With battle qi swirling around his body, he swung the blade in his hand.
A sharp beam of sword qi flew out!
“Boom!”
The moment the sword qi collided with the acid, a violent explosion erupted.
However, this sword qi was merely a casual strike, bound to be weaker than the black dragon's long-brewing breath.
As countless flame-like bursts of battle qi and acid splattered across the sky, the remaining acid broke through the obstruction.
It continued to pour toward the dragon and rider.
However, during this briefly bought moment, Renn had already ordered his wyvern to evade.
Just as the acid was about to reach them, the wyvern flapped its wings and suddenly soared into the air.
Narrowly avoiding the impact of the acid.
“Sizzle!”
The acid ruthlessly washed over the ground, corroding a large crater.
Having finished spitting his acid, Daviel turned his star-like eyes, which shone like high-beam headlights, toward his enemy.
He saw a beam of sword qi flying straight at him.
Yet, he didn't dodge.
As the sword qi drew near, a loud clanging sound echoed.
This little black dragon actually clapped his two claws together, catching the sharp sword qi.
He had executed a perfect bare-handed blade catch!
“In the world of martial arts, only speed is absolute... nothing is unbreakable...”
Muttering the words he had learned from Irene, Daviel applied just a bit of force, and the sword qi actually shattered like glass.
It was forcibly crushed by his dragon claws.
And like splashing water, it gradually dissipated into the air.
This was all thanks to a dragon's incredibly high adaptability and extraordinary growth potential.
As a top-tier magical creature capable of rapid development and possessing extremely strong self-healing abilities,
as long as they had enough nutrition, they could recover from injuries rapidly.
Furthermore, their bodies would develop and grow stronger during the recovery process.
Although this little black dragon had been beaten twice in a row by that old Gold Rank mage,
losing almost all his scales and becoming a "bald dragon,"
it had indirectly stimulated his body's adaptability.
He began to spontaneously develop in a direction that was stronger, harder, and more resilient.
After being beaten twice and recovering twice,
Daviel had now recovered most of his scales, except for those on his head which hadn't grown back yet.
Moreover, they had become much harder than before.
The muscles across his entire body had also grown much stronger,
to the point where he could crush a casual strike from a Gold Rank expert with his bare claws.
Right now, speaking purely of physical strength,
perhaps only a red dragon of the same adolescent dragon stage could compare to Daviel.
To Renn, this sight was far from good news.
In his eyes, this was merely an adolescent dragon, at most of the Silver Rank.
Yet, its physical fitness was already not much different from his own as a Gold Rank Grand Warrior.
At least, Renn believed that he himself could not have caught such a beam of sword qi so easily.
But before he could think further, the black dragon before him initiated the attack.
With a sudden, violent push of his hind legs, the little black dragon—who came with his own lighting effects—rippled his muscles like waves.
His entire body launched forward like a rocket.
He was actually using his head, covered by the iron underpants, as a battering ram to slam viciously toward the wyvern's underbelly!
“I, Daviel, shall suppress all enemies in this world!!!”
“Clang!”
The wyvern and the black dragon brushed past each other.
The screeching and roaring of metal echoed across the entire sky.
Floating in the air, Daviel shook his head. A new dent had appeared on the steel underpants on his head.
The dazzling lights flickered twice before returning to normal.
In contrast, Renn's expression was somewhat grim.
Just now, he had ordered the wyvern to dodge urgently, then slashed his sword at the black dragon's head.
Who would have thought the impact would actually leave his hands numb?
What normal dragon used its head as a weapon?!
Aren't they afraid of getting a concussion?
However, there was no time on the battlefield for Renn to ponder further.
The little black dragon, having recovered, immediately charged forward once more.
He locked into a fierce battle with him.
Scales collided with the blade, sending sparks flying from time to time.
Daviel seemed to be enjoying himself, thoroughly relishing the thrill of combat.
The vicious nature of an evil dragon was displayed to its fullest at this moment.
Coarse roars echoed across the battlefield from time to time.
“Not enough!”
“Not enough!”
“Still not enough!”
“Come on, you're so weak!”
“I am the King of Black Dragons!”
“I will make you witness your own death!”
“Ow! You dare hit my butt!”
“You're finished! Mark my words!”
...
As the two top powerhouses clashed, the war seemed to enter a white-hot phase.
However, the tactical maneuvering between the two sides was far from over.
At the rear of the battlefield, Robo's face had initially been filled with joy.
Because he had discovered that the black dragon they had speculated about was only an adolescent dragon.
This was undoubtedly fantastic news.
Even if this black dragon looked a bit bizarre.
With his and Renn's strength combined, it wouldn't be difficult to kill it.
But when he saw that the young girl was still there, a brief moment of surprise inevitably gripped his heart.
If she was still there...
Then...
Robo looked up at the gloomy sky, watching the black dragon locked in a deadlocked battle with Renn.
“Who is this one?”
But soon, a look of realization dawned on the clever Archmage's face.
He recalled a rumor he had overheard by chance years ago.
That there were two black juvenile dragons in the Great Gana Forest without the protection of a Mother Dragon.
The source of the rumor seemed to be a traveling merchant who journeyed between the God-Forsaken Land and the Eastern Kingdoms.
However, shortly after spreading the news, that merchant had suddenly vanished.
Some said they saw him enter the Great Gana Forest with a few adventurers,
never to return.
Instead of causing panic, these two pieces of news spread even wider after the merchant's disappearance.
They became more and more widespread.
At the time, many adventurers went there, drawn by the rumors.
Clinging to dreams of sudden wealth, they ventured into the Great Gana Forest.
And they did indeed find a black dragon.
However, there weren't two.
But only one.
An adult black dragon!
That black dragon possessed an extremely violent temper, killing almost anyone on sight.
Consequently, during that period, the adventurers who entered the Great Gana Forest suffered heavy casualties.
It caused massive chaos.
In the end, to quell the chaos,
and also to prevent the black dragon from charging out of the Great Gana Forest to attack neighboring countries,
the Eastern Kingdoms dispatched an army to station along the outskirts of the Great Gana Forest.
This stationing lasted for over two years.
Only after confirming there were no signs of a dragon invasion did they dare to withdraw the troops.
As for the rumors of hatchlings in the Great Gana Forest,
they eventually faded into obscurity.
Looking at it now, those two rumored hatchlings had likely escaped to the God-Forsaken Land.
Having figured this out, Robo's lips curled up slightly.
Now that he knew the enemy's background, he felt much more relaxed.
In his mind, both black dragons should still be mere adolescent dragons.
How much of a threat could creatures who hadn't even reached the young adult dragon stage pose to him?
Yet, for the sake of caution, Robo still did not act rashly.
Instead, he calmly issued an order,
instructing the mage regiment and the cleric regiment to cover the entry of the siege ballistas.
These massive weapons would now be renamed dragon-hunting ballistas.
