Chapter 1105 Danger
Loud shrieks and rumbling resounded vividly along the range of gray sandy hills.
Unfortunately, this place seed to have the ability to disrupt any kind of Spirit Reading. At the mont, Ery felt a sensation akin to a blind man, finding it hard to 'see' anything other than what was within his direct sights.
It also didn't help that there was also a formless pressure bearing down upon him in this place. It was about twice as strong as the one he experienced in the previous cave, causing him to be left with only 60% of his usual strength.
The grand magus most likely didn't have such a problem in this place however. Ery watched a wicked smile appear on her face as she said, "I have sothing else to check, so you two just need to stay alive until I return. Simple, right?"
Ery actually wished to ask what it was that she really wanted him and Zach to learn in this wretched place. But before he could do so, the female Dragon bloodline already took off to the air and flew away to the distant horizon, leaving the two of them in the open free sand plains.
Seeing the figure of the grand magus was no more, Ery glanced at Zach and attempted his question upon the Dragon protege instead.
"Do you know what she wants us to learn here?"
Without turning his face, Zach said, "I know what I need to learn."
Ery couldn't help but sigh inwardly seeing such a response. The Dragon protege was truly stingy in his words and hard to talk with.
Once again, Zach transford to his Crimson Dark Dragon form. Pulling out the huge sword he always used, his eyes gazed towards the hill range in front of them and he said,
"Prepare to fight."
As if adhering to the words of the Dragon protege, soon enough Ery saw the abundance of gray sand in the hills shifting as if an earthquake struck. From within, several creatures erged and revealed their appearances..
At first, Ery thought it would be the sa spider creature as he looked at the creature's multiple legs and body shape. However, the creature was not only twice as large as the Apex Spider, a long sharp tail and two huge pincers were also visible on its body.
A giant, scorpion-like creature with a gray body that was nearly 10 ters in length.
[Shirke]
[Legendary Beast - Level 85]
[Battle Power - 325]
The creature was a high-level Legendary Beast, which should be comparable to the Naga that took all of Ery's strength to defeat. But in this place, here ca a group of them as if they were just ordinary creatures.
Without further ado, Ery used his [Immortal Gate] and [Twilight Transformation] to greatly increase his battle power for the approaching creatures, and at the sa ti relieve half of the penalty caused by the pressure in this place.
"There's five- Six… seven!!"
Comparing their strength and the obvious difference in numbers, Ery knew they were in trouble. Hence he turned towards the Dragon protégé and spoke in urgency.
"What's the plan now?!"
It seed that these Shirkes really weren't an easy opponent as the previously calm Zach even looked a little tense as he said, "Just cover my back!" After saying that, the Dragon protege let out a loud warcry and shot forth towards one of the closest.
Raising his sword high to the sky, Zach brought it down and unleashed a strike fueled by powerful battle art. However, instead of the sound of weapons cutting through flesh, a loud sound was heard as his huge sword was blocked by the creature's huge pincers.
CRACCKK!!!
A web of cracks could be seen in the Shirke's pincer, but it was able to stop Zach's attack. Ery's eyes widened when he saw that as it was a sight that was rarely seen before, which ant the creature possessed an overwhelmingly strong defense.
While its pincers stopped Zach's attempt to take its life, the Shrike's long tail curled up like a bow before darting swiftly at him. A streak of gray headed towards Zach's body at breakneck speed.
Clankk!!
Unfortunately for the creature, its retaliation was still not fast enough and the Dragon protege managed to stop the tail. However, at the sa ti, from a different direction, another creature closed in and attacked.
Shrreeiikkkk!!
It was at this mont that multiple dark green plants burst out from the ground, holding down the creature's feet and body. The next instant, a dozen dark spheres hit the creature like a torrential rain.
[Seed Bomb]
Bam!! Bam! Bam!! Bam!!
Ery ca into the fray and supported the Dragon protege with his spells. It wasn't enough to kill the other Shrike, but enough to give Zach ti to unleash his other battle arts on the first Shrike, forcibly splitting the creature into two pieces.
Shriek!!!
Hearing its kin's death throes, the six Shrike caught up in the entanglent of Ery's spell struggled violently. They broke free and imdiately charged toward the two of them accompanied by furious shrieks.
"Back off!!" Zach said.
Hearing the urgency in his voice, Ery did as asked and teleported away using [Blink]. As for Zach, he kicked the ground with his feet and shot backward. At the sa ti, he cast his signature spell [ga Flare].
A mont later, a wave of ferocious flas surged forward and swallowed the charging scorpion horde. Ear-splitting shrieks could be heard from the sea of blazing red. However, these legendary creatures had not died yet.
To Ery's surprise, these creatures managed to dart through the flas that previously could incinerate the Apex Spiders. Nevertheless, they were not unscathed. Most of the shells that protect their bodies were lted by the extre temperatures.
With Zach standing at the front clashing head-on with the creatures, Ery decided to use his ranged skills to make his contribution. Channeling dark spirit energy into his Savage Sword, he swung the sword and released a wave of dark energy.
[Shadow Edge]
"One more! Another one!" the Dragon protege shouted. "Quick!"
As Zach was occupied with the Shirkes coming from the front, Ery focused his attacks on the two on the far left. The attack struck its target squarely, sending the creatures tumbling back a few ters. However, it was still not enough to inflict heavy injuries.
Zach, on the other hand, began struggling to contain the four high-level Legendary creatures at the sa ti. The task turned out to be still very difficult for him, and as a result, he started to take a beating.
Despite the fact that wounds were starting to accumulate on his body, the Dragon protege stood bravely undaunted by the storm of attack. As he shouted another warcry, his sword strikes beca faster and faster. A certain glow appeared on the blade of his sword, as if he was about to unleash a decisive attack.
However, instead of doing that, he was overwheld without rcy and received multiple wounds from the group of Shrikes. Seeing the precarious situation the Dragon protégé was in, Ery shouted loudly.
"We can't fight them like this! We should back off, for now, Zach!"
"No! Never!"
The proud dragon half-blood kept swinging the sword in his hand and eventually managed to kill another creature. But at this mont, a huge tremor suddenly occurred on the ground. The gray hills in the distance seed to split apart, and from within a gigantic creature erged.
"Mythical Creature!"
