Steel steam and flame

Cassia observed carefully. Nichols in the scaled state could indeed share the field of vision with dragons within a certain range.

Nichols did not clearly see Cassia's movement trajectory at this moment, but in the dragon's nearly 360-degree field of view, no matter how fast Cassia was, it could still be clearly captured by the dragon. This information was not available in real time. It reached Nichols' head without the slightest delay. After receiving energy replenishment, Nichols immediately entered a defensive posture, but as soon as his body moved, he felt himself detached from the ground.

Accessing the dragon's vision, Nichols was now transformed into a dragon lying aside. He saw himself in extremely real contact with an extremely fast flowing shadow. At this moment, he was not even ready to defend himself. Completely, he was knocked away by the huge force.

The pain coming from the entire left side of his body brought Nichols back to his thoughts. The vision connected to the dragon was disturbed by the pain signal and became intermittent. Only then did he fully develop his own perception, and Cassia's moving figure was immediately locked, but only then did Nichols notice another problem.

Looking at it at this moment, not only in terms of speed, but also in terms of strength and skills, the gap between myself and the target seems to be exactly what the target Cassia said. There is a gap that can be directly seen with the eyes.

Nichols crossed his arms in front of his chest, defending against a pursuing punch caught in the dragon's vision.

The sound of explosions exploded nearby, and Nichols' head was filled with a muffled sound like a bronze bell due to the sound of bone conduction. The crossed hands suddenly became numb, and the large muscles exploded into pieces, revealing the faint white color of the bones. Sharp torrents of scattered air erupted from the point where the two came into contact, making Nichols want to close his eyes for a moment. The huge force penetrated it completely in an instant. While his chest sank a little, Nichols' hands and the black scales on his chest were directly spattered away.

A clearly visible shock wave appeared around the pressed body, and then Nichols fell to the ground, making a bigger dent than before. The clenched sharp teeth no longer clenched tightly, and Nichols spurted out several mouthfuls of smoking red blood before his body regained consciousness.

Several twisted masses of compressed air shot out at this time and exploded around Nichols, setting off a dusty wind and temporarily forcing Cassia back.

Nichols immediately struggled to get up from the pit and realized that he had broken two or three ribs, but fortunately no internal organs were injured. Enduring the pain, he retreated towards the dragon. As he ran, he knew through perception and dragon vision that the target Cassia had withdrawn nearly a hundred meters away, and the compressed air cannon barely left any trace on him. At this moment, Cassia stood looking at herself and running towards the dragon.

Gritting his teeth, Nichols jumped on the dragon's back, no longer hiding anything. The bright red dragon tissue squeezed out the scales and wrapped directly around his legs, breaking open the skin. Like a parasitic creature with autonomous consciousness, it invaded every part of the body except the head in just one breath. These dragon tissues are like the precise hands of a surgeon, helping Nichols locate the location of the broken rib and perform the most basic treatment. The missing flesh and scales of the arm were replaced by dragon tissue, returning to their original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ha..." exhaling the mass of air squeezed in his chest, Nichols' face was completely covered by scales, but at this time, his expression could also be seen from the face with almost no expression changes. Discomfort and anger.

"I said as long as the dragon is here, you have no way to counter it except to make me suffer some pain!"

Cassia did not answer, after all, he had no reason to explain to Nichols again. He knew the reason why the other party would become like this - there was no such person in the empire. Environmental changes brought about by status have eroded the senses of such people. In other words, they are not conscious enough and cannot always use various rules to restrain themselves and maintain due vigilance.

"It seems that the recovery speed of dragons is faster than I expected. However, if you think of the rapid transformation of the skeletal fossil dragon in the Blinuo area, this ability that can be called super-speed regeneration appears in dragons. There is no need to be surprised. The giant dragon can already stand up a little, and the best proof is that he twisted his head to create an air cannon and helped the dragon knight force him back." He never stopped thinking.

Cassia waited, and Nichols' body underwent new changes at this moment. Fungus-like foamy horny skin squeezed out bit by bit from the gaps in the black scales all over its body, covering it entirely. Then it was like a bubble bursting. When the foam-like cuticles solidified and fixed, Nichols' body seemed to be coated with a thicker layer of black metal material. At the same time, it had the soft texture of a leather tight-fitting combat uniform, smooth and bright. Reflecting little bits of light.

This look immediately reminded Cassia of Zero. In the scaly state, No. 0 also has a similar form, and the scales on his body seem to be fused together. It's just that No. 0 is completely bright red in color, and it is visually violent and oppressive enough.

"We have to wait a little longer. We need to get information about the spiritual connection between dragon knights and dragons. The enemy's use of dragons is very useful to me. He also waits for dragons to regain their mobility. As a dragon knight , most of its methods should be related to dragons. I also need one or two key points. Once obtained, not only can I deal with the other four dragon knights more smoothly later, but it can also help me connect some past information."

,,,,,,

"In about two minutes, the dragon will return to normal." The time given by Sasir was like a countdown to the curtain call.

"It passed quickly, only two minutes." Mishuer responded nonchalantly.

"It's very fast for us, but for Nichols, it's not so easy on the senses." As he spoke, there was a chuckle in Sasir's words.

"This shouldn't be the upper limit you mentioned, Captain Sasir, right? It does look good, but it won't last long." Mishuer talked about the situation below, "As long as you are a dragon knight, you can use it. ?”

"No, it takes some time and effort to learn. At least I don't have the information that Nichols will do this. It's useless. The strength and speed Cassia showed just now are enough to show that he will do the same thing as us again. I will try my best to get more information from Nichols. Even if the dragon recovers, I don’t think there is any chance. But I hope Cassia can put enough pressure on Nichols in these two minutes and let Nichols use all his strength. struggle."

But Mishuer smiled back and repeated what he had just said: "It passed quickly, only two minutes."

Sasir nodded and continued after a pause: "Actually, I have been thinking about one thing."

"Um,,,"

"If the Nichols below were me," the voice was rarely serious, "I would definitely perform better than Nichols, but the question now is, how much better can I be than Nichols?" To what extent?"

"Here, I may have to trouble you, Miss Mishuer. I know that the Saint Dorag Empire held an assessment nearly two years ago. At that time, both Cassia and Mr. Zero had fought a dragon. I have There is information about Cassia's battle with the dragon, but it was Mr. Zero who killed the dragon in the end... So, since I don't have this part of the information, I hope Ms. Mishull can tell me in detail about Mr. Zero's killing. The process of killing that giant dragon. I think this information can help me a little bit when I face the target Cassia later."

"No problem, I just want to hear Captain Sasir's opinion."

,,,,,,

The interior of the forest is relatively quiet, with only the rustling of leaves. This kind of silence didn't last long, and the almost solid air suddenly turned into fragments. At the same time, all the ancient trees within a diameter of seven or eight kilometers were shattered.

The dense ancient trees were more fragile than light smoke at this moment. They all turned into debris in the blink of an eye. They were carbonized very quickly as they flew, and then evaporated out of thin air. In the end, only a small amount of black powder was left, which was mixed into the air. , along with a huge shock wave that spread out, it was carried ten kilometers away.

Three giant dragons with wingspans of more than 200 meters each appeared in a triangular shape, swooping down from high altitude and landing on the ground. The dragon raised its head. Three men wearing different types of armor stood on top of the dragon's head, looking at the small open space surrounded by them that was not affected by any force.

A layer of dead leaves spread on the open ground, which has not yet evaporated out of thin air. A masked woman sat on a boulder in the open space. Seeing three dragon knights falling, she turned over, stood on the boulder, and raised her hands, as if she had the first say. Said hello.

"Hello, three dragon knights, do you need a rest?"
