Green Monster Epic

Chapter 1117: Racing Against Time

The battle continued. After a long period of high-intensity, nerve-wracking combat, even a being as strong as Alan couldn't help but feel mentally and physically exhausted, with an uncontrollable sense of fatigue rising from the depths of his soul.

The dragon Figglas roared until its throat became hoarse, its attacks stiff and more like conditioned reflexes, no longer as lively as it had been at the beginning. The hydra, even more severely injured, now had seven of its heads severed. Its pale green body was without a single intact spot. The precious blood on its body dried, scabbed, and fell off, only to be covered by new blood, repeating this process countless times, likely losing more blood than its body contained.

If not for the saint's characteristic ability to convert its body into energy, the blood loss alone would have been enough to kill it. The price it paid was also high. The energy and faith power accumulated over tens of thousands of years of slumber were exhausted in this battle. Even if it managed to escape and find a new place to slumber and heal, the time required would not be shorter than its previous slumber.

However, it had already escaped the depths of the desert and was approaching the edge. As long as it persisted and moved north for a certain distance, it believed the elven powerhouses would surely notice the abnormality.

When they participated, regardless of the final choice, it would not be the worst outcome for the hydra, even if the other party also attacked it.

For this glimmer of hope, Hydra was willing to shed every last drop of blood.

Boom!!!

Boom!! Boom!!!!!

The kobold saint, Da Vinci, once again conjured fire meteor magic based on earth elements as a means to bombard the battlefield where the two giant beasts were located. Under the restriction of Eric's domain power, his most proud fire magic had no stage to display because the flames without a solidified entity to rely on would immediately dissipate upon entering the domain.

Compared to the embarrassment of facing the meteor bombardment for the first time, the two giant beasts now skillfully began to pull and collide, both trying to put the opponent on their heads to avoid the fierce physical impact. In this contest, the dragon Figglas was obviously at a disadvantage, always being suppressed by the opponent's strength and becoming a shield.

Fortunately, it had Alan as a companion, who constantly damaged Hydra's body, creating a large number of wounds, making it weaker and weaker.

Now, in the power struggle with the opponent, the dragon was no longer at a disadvantage, and even faintly suppressed the opponent. Seeing a meteorite about to hit its area, Figglas suddenly exerted force and lifted the rolling hydra above its body. Although the opponent immediately resisted and struggled, the meteorite still grazed the opponent's back.

Thump!!!

Skin torn and flesh flying, a gap with torn skin appeared again on the hydra's broken back. However, Hydra, whose body was already numb, could hardly feel the pain, and continued to flip the dragon onto itself.

Thump!!!

"Roar!!!"

Figglas also failed to dodge the meteorite bombardment. A meteorite fell directly on its slender tail, and the huge impact shattered and destroyed its hard dragon scales on the spot, revealing the bright red muscles and milky white dragon bones inside.

Alan kept running on the two giant beasts. When Figglas's body was facing upwards and about to be hit by a meteorite, he stomped hard on the dragon's skin with both legs, and his body shot into the sky like a cannonball. The Bone Cleaver in his hand swung upwards and collided with the roaring meteorite.

Clang!!!!!

The meteorite, wrapped in huge force, shattered on the spot like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, and Alan's figure was also shot back by the reaction force, just landing on Hydra's body that had rolled over again. The heavy greatsword pierced into the opponent's body, all the way to the hilt.

"Ha!!!"

Taking advantage of the force of regaining his balance, Alan continued to retreat a dozen steps while holding the hilt of the sword. A 6-7 meter wide cut came into his eyes, and gurgling blood slowly oozed out.

"Hiss!!!"

The huge wound triggered Hydra's reaction. A violent shaking, coupled with the dragon's fight and constant rolling, caused Alan to accidentally fall off the two giant beasts. Before he could land, a cloud enveloped his head, and the two rolling giant beasts crushed him completely.

When the two giant beasts continued to roll and released the dusty Alan from the sand, while exhaling the bad air in his chest, he did not forget to scan the surroundings with his peripheral vision.

When he saw the kobold warlock Da Vinci in the distant sky casting spells, the shield of judgment flickering non-stop, Alan's already stern face suddenly became even more gloomy. That was the signal he and the kobold saint had agreed upon in advance.

The condition for sending the signal was simple, but also very important: when there were a certain number or quality of foreign powerhouses approaching their battlefield, Da Vinci would send a warning to Alan in the domain.

Now that the signal had been sent, it meant that the thing Alan was worried about was happening. Every minute next was very important to him.

While running, Alan kept adjusting his state. The sluggish vortex of anger regained its vitality with the concentration of Alan's mental power, and the divine power flowing in the blood vessels quickly washed away the body's fatigue, and new power was being conceived.

Charge!!!

When his body collided with the hydra's body on the ground, Alan gripped the hilt of the heavy sword with both arms and stabbed straight forward. Using the instant kill sword technique to focus the divine power on the tip of the sword, the blunt sword tip, blessed by Ellie's power and divine power, was sharper than any magic weapon, directly piercing the hydra's back and carrying Alan's swaying body into the snake's body.

Hydra immediately noticed the sudden appearance of a foreign object in its body, and locked onto Alan's location based on the opponent's aura. Streams of divine power quickly surged towards Alan's location.

Whoosh!!

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

Endless energy gathered around Alan's body and transformed into various magics, directly falling on Alan's tough flesh. Even the flesh and blood stripped off by Alan's heavy sword turned into dangerous bombs, creating obstacles for Alan's path forward.

It seemed that Alan's entry into the giant snake's body was a great threat to Hydra, but the fact was that Alan himself was in a dangerous situation, fighting in Hydra's home field, enduring the opponent's endless energy attacks.

In the opponent's body, Alan could not sense the direction and could only move forward by intuition. The magic-breaking runes on the heavy sword were activated to the extreme, and he only cared about cutting through the various energy impacts he encountered in front of him. As for the attacks around his body and behind him, he could only rely on his saint-level body to withstand them.

Tear~~

The most tormenting time was the longest. Alan endured the severe pain and kept slashing with the Bone Cleaver. Suddenly, the heavy sword in his hand showed signs of cutting into empty space. Alan was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward. However, when his eyes saw the vast desert, he knew that he had gone in the wrong direction. He was about to turn back and kill again when a violent explosion suddenly appeared in his ears.

Boom!!!

Hydra used its own flesh and blood as a carrier to inject excessive divine power. The power generated by the explosion was no less powerful than any legendary magic, and it did not require a long chant to cast. This was the advantage of being the home field.

Even doing so would cause great damage to itself, but if the opponent were to drill into its internal organs, it would threaten its life!!

A little joy had just risen in its heart, but it was immediately frightened by the fact that the other party was now unaffected by its confusion perception and was constantly approaching its internal organs. It mustered its last strength and all four claws cooperated with its snake body movements, throwing the dragon out on the spot.

While throwing the opponent away, Hydra took a big step and ran northward at full speed. Without Alan's restraint, its breakout action would be much smoother.

Of course, it did not forget the earth spirit bear who was rampaging in its body. The flesh and blood that had been cut off turned into pure energy, constantly eroding Alan's body and consuming his energy.

When Da Vinci saw Figglas being thrown off and the hydra quickly running north, he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart. He quickly activated the magic that was not fully prepared and smashed it onto the opponent's path forward.

Even Eric, who had been wandering far away on the edge of the battlefield, maintaining the domain restriction, no longer cared about his own safety at this time. He ran wildly in the desert, trying to catch up with the giant snake and delay its actions, buying Alan valuable time.

In the distant sky, a dozen black spots grew from small to large, and gradually their human figures could be seen clearly. At this time, the fire of hope in the hydra's eyes shone brightly, and it finally saw the possibility of survival.

"Hiss~~~~"

"Darlings of nature…"

Note: The transformation technique of non-humanoid creatures such as dragons and hydras is similar to the thief's exclusive skill, with a limited number of times per day or month, so it cannot be used as the main means in combat.
