Chapter 338: Red Dragon

The invisible force was so strong that it made him impossible to block!

​​

Moreover, he sensed some strange power was trying to enter his Dark Space!

This Red Dragon was trying to invade his Inner World!

'Sh*t!' A grim look appeared on Charles's face as he took out a black dagger from his space ring and cast [Flame Teleportation] spell.

A moment later, he enveloped his body in a crimson flame and was about to disappear but suddenly returned to normal!

A shock appeared on his face.

'It managed to disrupt me from manipulating the space elements.' Just as the thought crossed his mind, his eyes turned blurry.

Simultaneously, a future image appeared in from of his eyes.

Upon seeing this, he didn't hesitate for a moment and cast [Accelerate Thoughts] skill.

'It would breathe fire in the next two seconds.'

Muttering inwardly, he locked his gaze on the Dragon's eyes and cast [Burning Thoughts] skill!

Only then did Charles notice that the strange invading power was disappearing from the Dark Space.

Still, the Dragon completely nullified his [Burning Thoughts] spell effect in an instant.

'This Dragon… It's not a Rank-6! It's a Rank-5 Creature.' He got relieved inside.

If it were a Rank-6 Creature, Charles knew that he wouldn't have survived this long.

He returned to his calm state, cast [Arcane Eyes] skill, and stared at the Red Dragon.

At that moment, the Red Dragon let out a growl and took a deep breath.

The next second, it opened its wide mouth and sent a monstrous ball of crimson flame from its mouth.

On the other hand, Charles cast the [Fire Born] spell and enveloped his body in a flame.

The next instant, the monstrous flame crashed onto his body and started pushing him!

Even though his body was in a strange elemental form, he still felt the feeling of being burned alive!

'Damn! I'm still not strong enough to face a Dragon's breath head-on.' Charles cast the Rank-4 [Sun's Shield] spell as he let out a deep breath and flapped those reddish-black wings.

Meanwhile, a sunshine layer appeared around his body and completely blocked the fire breath from entering his body!

Still, the mere force of the Fire Breath caused Charles's body to shot in the opposite direction.

His body flew in the opposite sky, entered the red clouds, and appeared above it.

While flying, he flapped his wings continuously to slow down the momentum and regained his control.

At that moment, the Red Dragon also flapped its large red wings and chased after him with its enormous body.

Within a few seconds, it entered the red clouds and soon appeared above it.

On the other hand, Charles hovered in the opposite sky, stared at the Red Dragon, and furrowed his brows.

He then thought of something and asked in a scars language.

"Do you understand my words?"

It was the local language of Miner's Den town.

Upon hearing his words, the Red Dragon once again opened its claw-like mouth and let out a thundering roar!

Then, a strange silence appeared in the sky.

'It seems this Red Dragon's is a dumb one.' A frown appeared on his face.

Just as he was about to attack, a strange voice echoed in Charles's head.

'Who are you calling dumb, invader?'

Although it spoke in a completely different language, Charles clearly understood the meaning behind those words!

'Invader?' Charles raised his eyebrows and was about to ask the following question but stopped.

At that moment, he sensed a bad feeling all of a sudden.

'This Dragon is firm on killing me.' Charles's expression turned grim.

Without any hesitation, he gripped the dagger and cast [Flame Blink] spell.

A second later, he disappeared from where he stood before and reappeared above the Dragon's back.

But just as he was about to stab its body, the whole surroundings started to distort.

'Pseudo-Domain? No, it's manipulating the surrounding fire elements.' His eyes widened.

Before he could think further, the surrounding red clouds began to ignite in bright orange flame.

Then, all those flames completely encircled the Red Dragon's body and made a whirlpool-like thing in the sky!

Not only that, but Charles saw thousands of fireballs suddenly descended from above and almost covered the sky.

'Give up, Invader. You are not going anywhere. This fire whirlpool can disrupt the surrounding spatial energy and seal you here. Even creating a pseudo-domain is not possible.' An eerie voice echoed in his head.

On the other hand, Charles flapped the wings, distanced himself from the Red Dragon, and frowned.

He felt something was off.

'You knew about me long ago… But why did you choose to kill me now? You could've attacked me when I was in the underground cave. But you didn't. Why?' He asked in confusion.

Meanwhile, the Red Dragon flew along with the whirlpool, turned its monstrous head towards Charles, and snorted.

'Why should I tell you? My job is to clear the evil pest before it turns into a monster and disrupts the peace of this world.' The Red Dragon said coldly and directly entered the whirlpool before disappearing from Charles's vision.

Meanwhile, he looked at the flaming sky and sighed.

'It seems this Dragon somehow perceived my aim and trying to stop me. The World's Will? No. If I'm not wrong, this World's Will isn't powerful enough to distinguish the difference between good and evil. Moreover, I still feel the sensation of warmth in this world. Tsk, I'll take care of this Dragon later.' He touched his space ring, took out a silver pocket, and held it in his right hand.

Then, he flapped the wings and shot towards the fireball raining sky.

Simultaneously, he raised his hand and started manipulating the spatial elements.

If it were five years ago, he would've found it impossible to control other elements.

But after he completely comprehended the [False Fire Manipulation] Spell, his understanding of other elements had already reached an extraordinary level!

A strange spatial crack appeared in the sky and soon formed into a 1-meter tall portal!

Without any hesitation, Charles flapped the wings faster, moved towards the portal, and entered!

A second later, the portal also started to shrunken and soon disappeared.

In the meantime, the Red Dragon watched his action from the flame whirlpool and became stunned inside.

Without any hesitation, it released its wisdom power in all directions and searched for him.

Unfortunately, nothing appeared in its perception!

…

Miner's Den Town,

At that moment, a strange bluish portal appeared in the sky and caused massive panic among the citizens.

Night Goblins, Lava Orcs, Red Humans, Fire Imps, and few other races looked up at the bluish portal and gripped their weapons tighter.

"Tell Lord Garath about the situation!" A black-armored Night Goblin said to the nearby goblin in a gloomy tone and unsheathed its short sword.

At that moment, a deep-blue-haired human came out of the bluish portal and looked at the town.

Then, he enveloped his body in a crimson flame and disappeared from there.
