The entire Dark Gold Colossus Dragon transformed into a small sun at this moment, emitting a light that disrupted gravity, and the surging water vapor around it made the dragon resemble a floating mountain wrapped in clouds and fog, with a sunrise appearing at the peak, at the Dragon Head.
Everyone present was gravely shocked; this was the first time the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon began to use ’technique’—all the previous breath attacks, dragon roars, claw strikes, and various physical attacks of the dragon’s body were essentially child’s play, akin to a kid swinging a fist wildly, at most evolving to tighten the fist and crash it forward.
But now, it started to adjust its body, regulate its breathing, assume the right stance, and twist its waist to mobilize the full body strength, with the spine of the Great Dragon bending, ready to deliver a deliberate punch to everyone present!
At this moment, the resolute voice of Anfa echoed in the Black-Haired Knight’s mind: [I choose to become a dragon—I can accept the power of ’Father,’ transform myself into a True Dragon... By then, I’ll have enough power to rival this True Dragon!]
[If this is truly your heartfelt choice, I definitely welcome it] Ian quickly responded: [But I tell you, Anfa, if you even slightly deceive yourself, you won’t succeed—In my Foresight View here, you are still red, the prophecy tells me you aren’t ready, choosing to be a dragon means either losing humanity or dying]
[But this is the last choice. If we really can’t defeat this monster, I won’t stop you from making your choice.]
[Just now, I have a way]
"Everyone, come behind me!"
The Black-Haired Knight suddenly shouted with determination, while the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon’s mocking smile lingered. He solemnly roared, "We can’t block the monster’s next attack. It’s an all-map attack covering the entire test area—only I can take it, even if the price is severe injury!"
"Trust Mahdi!" At this moment, ’Ian’ also spoke, with the Prophet’s white eyes glowing with water-colored halos, solemnly saying, "I’ve already found a way to defeat it, we need to hold the monster while Mahdi recovers... It hasn’t learned to control Aether yet, after full attack, it will surely be exhausted, then we must use all our trump cards to weaken it, release the last protective power our elder bestowed upon us!"
"Keep suppressing its attack until Mahdi recovers!"
"Prophet, and The Unyielding Fortress, I don’t know what your relationship is, but you’d better not be lying!" At this time, there was no other choice, no time to escape, no time to dig a hole, and even if digging, it might not evade correctly. Led by Gaer and Aina, the young strong ones came to Mahdi’s back at the fastest speed.
They saw the knight’s enormous Worm Nest Crystal Dragon Heart Light Body also appear out of thin air, arriving before him, with wings and Dragon Claws folded, becoming a shield to block the front.
[Hum... It’s useless]
Even though the strategy was seen through, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon had no thought of changing it, or rather, it didn’t have the ability to change tactics on the spot.
The Last Echo merely sneered: [Still, I have to thank you for teaching me the battle technique]
[Now, taste your own creation]
The Dark Gold Colossus Dragon had completed its energy accumulation, the immense energy gathered in the Crystal Stone within its chest, radiating, releasing a light akin to a second sun.
And in the next instant, countless thread-like scarlet golden dazzling rays spread out, but these were just the aftermath before the energy outbreak. The visible gravity changes had already lifted many layers of rock in the test field, while the air around the crystal core of the dragon’s chest had completely ionized, releasing blinding electric lightning thunder—
And the Black-Haired Knight remained silent, deploying all his defenses.
Heart Light Body, Heart-Light Shield, Origin Shield, Dragon Scale Armor’s Origin layer, Sand Armor, Blood River Armament, Magnetic Field Shield, Dragon Scale Armor body, Flesh and Blood... In just an instant, he layered nine shields for defense upon himself.
But not only that—others also added shields to the knight!
Aina bestowed ’Sunflame Body Shield’ to reduce damage from light and heat, Gaer created a high-pressure steam layer to deflect the impact, Elg and Necrocaller respectively created a ’Spirit Energy Solid Body Shield’ and a ’Spirit Energy Absorption Shield,’ one to deflect and reduce damage, one to weaken the enemy’s attack power.
Anfa bestowed ’Prime Material Activation’ on Ian and threw over her Spirit Energy Jewelry, which was a necklace marked by the Ashlight Family, containing a Third Energy Level ’Ningmoxiyan,’ capable of restraining most Spirit Energy and Origin Substance Reactions, while the Silver Fairy directly sat on the knight’s shoulder, raising the shield, together resisting with him.
As for ’Ian’... on the surface, it appeared to add a sturdy Ice Shield to the Black-Haired Knight, but in fact, the ’Aether Body’ had silently returned to the core, enabling Mahdi’s power to further enhance through the fairy Origin Structure reversion!
And right when the immense power converged on the knight, making his appearance grand and majestic, like a mountain, the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon raised its head slowly, six eyes slowly lighting up, brighter and brighter.
—Hum! Invisible ripples started spreading, radiating towards all directions!
At this instant, Ian sensed the impending attack.
