The new development caused the Qilin even more depressed.

It gnashed its teeth, casting a last look at Allen, it then turned around and started galloping away.

Looking at it, the Red Dragon’s smile turned into even more menacing. “Do you think you can run?”

The Red Dragon spread its wings and tried to pursue but before it could, a pair of arms suddenly encircled towards the Dragon’s long neck and dragged it down.

“Human!!”

“Run!” Allen’s voice echoed the whole place.

The Qilin stopped for a moment before turning into lightning and disappeared.

“Thank you …” a thin voice was carried by the wind.

A thin faint smile appeared on Allen’s face.

“You lowly human scum!!”

“You need to stay here for a moment, idiot Dragon!” Allen cracked into a smile as his forehead emitted droplets of cold sweat.

“Chu,” A small figure stood at the top of the Red Dragon’s head.

“Chuuuuu!!!” Along with a cute cry, a huge lightning fell on the Dragon’s large head.

Gyaaaaaahhhh!! Its bloodshot pupils trembled violently.

“That’s not all!”

“[ Zeus Lightning Bolt ]!”

“[ Thor’s Hammer ]!”

“[ Thunder Bird ]!”

“[ Thor’s Judgment ]!”

Allen let out a series of strong lightning attacks one after another.

Trees toppled and plants were burned along with a dragon’s roar of agony.

“You inferior species!!” The Red Dragon raised its large claws and stabbed it Allen’s stomach. “Let go of me!”

Allen spouted a mouthful of blood but he was still smiling. “Huh, idiot! As if I will!”

“You will!” The enraged Red Dragon opened its huge mouth and bit Allen’s shoulder as if trying to tear it off.

“AAaaaaahhh!!!”

Because of the Soul Attack, Allen’s mind was still in a mess, causing for him to find transforming his whole body into lightning very difficult.

With the pain, the gripped on his both arms slightly loosened. Noticing this opportunity, the Red Dragon finally positioned its two arms and spread its wings, completely separating himself from Allen.

But Allen gritted his teeth and send an upper cut at the dragon’s jaw.

Groaaaaarr!

The Dragon’s vision faltered and took a few steps back.

Allen crawled a bit away from Dragon. He then raised his arm upwards and gathered all of his strength.

“[ Thor’s Judgment ]!” A column of lightning struck down the Dragon as if the sky giving its punishment.

Grooaaaaarr!!

The intense pain that was transmitted from its body caused the huge body of the Red Dragon to abruptly curl up. The huge tail suddenly swung back and violently smashed on Allen’s back.

At the moment of collision, the space, when Allen's body and the Red Dragon's tail came into contact, appeared to have shattered and opened tiny black colored crack lines.

Immediately, Allen became like a rubber ball as he was sent flying.

Bugaaa-!! The enormous force transmitted from his back caused Allen to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Because of this, Allen’s [ Lightning Thor Form ] became undone and his original form fell on the ground with a ‘thud’.

“You can’t defeat me human!”

“Damn it!” Allen clenched his teeth tightly; his breathing was a little hurried.

His gaze was somewhat anxious as he eyed the distant horizon. During this period of time that he and the Red Dragon fought, the [ Lightning Qilin ] had fled until one could already not see its shadow.

As expected of the Strongest Race!

Should I leave now…?

“Hm… why are you quiet? Are you finally giving up?” The huge bloodshot eyes glanced at Allen who did not make any move. The laughter of the Red Dragon was like rolling thunder that billowed throughout the sky without resting.

“It is just as well that you give up. It saves me from wasting my strength.”

“What about you?” Allen looked at the Red Dragon mockingly. “Why don’t you look at your own body? Aren’t you already barely holding on? Even Dragons aren’t exhaustible.”

“Fool! Do you think I’m like you, frail humans?” The Red Dragon glared. “Aren’t you underestimating a dragon like me?”

“I’m not underestimating you. If you were in your normal condition, I wouldn’t do something so foolish like this.”

“Fool! I am stronger than you than anything in this world!”

“Hmph! You’re only stronger than me now… it won’t remain the same forever!” Allen declared.

He slowly and quietly steps back.

With the Qilin gone, I can make my exit.

As he thought about that, suddenly;

E...Exit.......

Eh... ... It’s not possible, right......!?

If he was to escape, then who would contain the dragon?

If this guy leaves this place, if he let it leave, the dragon arriving in the city after rampaging inside the forest is never an impossibility.

Damn! Allen could help but cursed inwardly. He became short-sighted! He was truly an idiot, not considering about the aftermath.

However, this was clearly his mistake. What was he supposed to nitpick about now?

“......Damn!!”

And so, once again, Allen put away his regrets and clenched his fists tightly it paled and made his resolve.

“… Then I will accompany you for the third round then,” Allen smirked. He finally realized that there’s no going back any longer!

“?!”

His hands slowly extended out of the black robe. The long white hands of his were like that of a lady’s and appeared to not possess any strength.

He was holding something. A vial with a crimson colored liquid inside of it.

[ Health Potion ]

Allen immediately drinks the potion and felt a surge of strength coming from within him.

“The new world is now a world of the strong… Eventually, everything will go according to the will of the strongest. I also like this fact.” Allen’s wounds began to heal up at an incredible rate.

Seeing this unbelievable phenomenon, the Red Dragon finally felt a bad premonition.

“… I have things that I have to protect. So to protect them all, it would be useless if I’m not the strongest!”

BOOOM!!!

A streak of lightning flashed from the heavens and struck Allen. His whole body once again turned into a giant.

“[ 80,000,000 Volt Thunder God ]” Using the potion’s moment of strength, Allen raised the power of his lightning power and finally reached 80 Million volts.

“[ Lightning Thor Form ]”

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

Lightning strikes the place.

At this moment, an unknown and extremely horrified emotion appeared in the Dragon’s eyes in a human-like manner.

“What the heck is going on? Dammit, dammit! How can this be possible? He’s already spent! He should have been barely alive so where is this strength coming from?!” Sensing the terrifying power emitted from Allen, the Red Dragon was momentarily stunned.

How did the human in front of him immediately recovered?!

This is impossible!

Immediately, the Dragon’s huge body curled up as though someone had stepped on his tail. His sharp voice was corrupted as he gasped in the sky.

Just like what Allen had said, he was also already exhausted. He was formerly fighting with the Qilin whose power was almost comparable to ordinary dragons.

And without rest, he continued fighting this abnormal human. His magic power reserves are almost used up.

As it watched the smile on Allen’s face, the Red Dragon trembled coldly. An uneasy feeling involuntarily surfaced in its heart. As its pair of wings flapped slightly, it immediately used all of his power reserves.

The Red Dragon’s body lit up and flames appeared, covering his whole body. These flames then condensed into a small ball of blaze.

“Idiot Dragon! Taste my attack!”

Ever since before, Allen wasn’t the type to swallow a defeat so easily.

Even if it’s an opponent he could not defeat and finally escape from death, Allen would still find a way to pay them back before leaving.

From Allen’s point of view, he never liked the feeling of retreat. Running away with tail between his legs.

He was a persistent person. Sometimes, this persistence could also be considered an extreme stubbornness. Currently, Allen who appeared at a dead end had descended into this extreme stubbornness.

“Dieeee!!!”

As his voice fell, Allen’s face swiftly became pale. The loss on his face suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, he violently and instinctively threw a huge lightning hammer towards the Red Dragon.

“You’re the one who should die, you inferior species!!!!”

The Red Dragon opened its mouth, swallowed the ball of blaze and then released the condensed might through a powerful breath.

Bang!!

Two different kinds of terrifying energy, with one being bluish golden and the other being crimson red, stood off against each other for a moment before suddenly exploding in the sky.

——An uncontrollable, world-shaking explosion reverberated through the empty air.

BOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

A destructive like energy spread out from the spot where the collision had been.

The intense energy explosion sound could still be faintly heard even a kilometer away.

At this moment, waves of ripples surfaced in the empty air. The ripples spread and passed through the entire forest.

The ground suddenly burst apart and the part where it cracked off from the ground was as smooth as a mirror.

At the instance when the explosion occurred, a circle of energy ripples spread out from the point of explosion and shook both Allen and the Red Dragon at the same time, forcing them to pull back swiftly.

In an opposing direction, the Qilin’s retreating figure abruptly stopped in the forest.

It suddenly raised its heads and eyed the place where its sight could not reach. The Qilin’s face was covered with shock and disbelief.

What is happening in that place?!

--- ---

The fight between Allen and the Red Dragon exploded in the crimson sky.

Like a wave of flames, it engulfed the sky. Instantly, the temperature of this entire area rose significantly.

Within the City located outside of the forest, a countless number of people lifted their heads foolishly and eyed the terrifying wave of flames that had engulfed the sky.

Even though it was hundreds of meters away, the hot flame wave still caused people to perspire profusely.

The city was completely silent.

Everyone swallowed their saliva in their dry mouths. A panic spread from deep within their hearts. If this explosion was a little nearer in the City, this place might have been annihilated into a flat plain.

“What is going on inside the forest? How terrifying!” Everyone shivered and groaned weakly in their hearts.

“Brother!” Sun Yingyun called at her brother.

“I don’t know what is happening there right now!” Sun Yueli shook his head in a loss. “Maybe there were two monsters fighting…”

“But Allen is inside that forest!” At this moment, Ye Yueshing who was standing behind the siblings suddenly called out. Her whole expression was filled with worry.

Hearing her, Sun Yueli instantly remembered. That’s right! Isn’t the Beast King also in that part?!

Maybe he is fighting something?

But that power…

That can’t be!

“Brother, what are we going to do?” Sun Yingyun looked at his brother.

“Let’s leave it for now; we need to finish this wall immediately.” Sun Yueli answered. “I don’t know what’s going on there but that isn’t something we can involve ourselves in with our current strength. We will only die…”

Sun Yingyun’s gaze returned back into the forest. Just what is that bastard doing inside?

She scolded inside her heart.

“That guy, why is it that he always appears wherever there is trouble?” The Ye Yueshing’s gaze that carried some anxiety swept across the forest.

Her eyebrows became slightly vertical with some anger hidden in them.

He’s always been like this!

Her heart was as if it was being trampled by a deer.

However, she never noticed the strangeness of her words because of worry.

Allen, be safe!

--- ---

Under the crimson sky, the shockwave wave turned into an energy ripple as it violently surged outward. With the explosion at the center, the surrounding living creatures within a certain boundary all received a destructive blow.

The surrounding’s trees, plants, and any living things disappeared, leaving only the original beautiful lake now turned into a sorry state. In the sky, a Dragon had gone into a dire state while a human was lying on the ground motionless.

The blow received by the Red Dragon, which had a huge body, was undoubtedly the most severe among the two due to its size and its position being closest to the point of the explosion.

Because of the destructive flame wave that swept out, over half of the tough scales on the Red Dragon’s body had been completely broken. Its crimson body had bright red blood that repeatedly seeped and dripped down as though it was raining.

Under the broken scales, a couple of horrifying wounds that were visible to the naked eye extended outward and almost covered his entire back. At one glance, one appeared to be able to faintly see the dense white bones.

Of its two wings, one of them was almost destroyed by the rough explosion with fresh blood flowing wildly.

The mocking in the enormous bloodshot eyes could no longer be seen. Replacing it was an utter horror.

His miserable and dire looking manner no longer possessed the slightest bit of pride and arrogance.

On the other hand, Allen was lying on the ground. His wounds that had slowly healed up was now once again bleeding.

Currently, his face was totally pale.

The corner of his mouth still faintly possessed a few blood stains. He randomly wiped off the blood stains with his hand, which was trembling without him noticing.

“You Bastard!” The Red Dragon roared in fury. Its sorry state was like a heaven and earth compared to its former form.

Although it was cursing from its mouth, even the Red Dragon itself did not realize that some fear for a human who it always looked down upon, was produced deep within his heart.

Even with his miserable state, Allen’s lips were still smiling. He slowly raised his upper body and sat on the ground.

Although his body was already screaming in pain, nothing could be seen in his expression.

“Do you still want to fight? I will accompany you no matter how many rounds you want.”

However, just as Allen was preparing to fight, the Red Dragon simply cursed extremely angrily before shrinking his body, not daring to move closer to Allen.

“Don’t be so confident human! At this time, I will admit defeat but the next time we meet, I will surely repay this humiliation a hundred fold!”

After leaving this sentence, the Red Dragon’s battered wings suddenly flapped. Immediately, he turned around and fled in front of Allen’s stunned gaze.

“Remember, I will surely find you in the future and repay this debt! At that time, I will surely kill you!!” The Red Dragon’s huge body faced the horizon and swiftly flew over.

A cussing voice that was filled with rage and humiliation continued reverberating in the sky.

Allen was stunned as he eyed the Red Dragon who had actually chosen to flee.

He was momentarily lost before he immediately shook his head, unsure if he should laugh or cry.

At this moment, seeing the Red Dragon’s disappearing silhouette, an intense fatigue immediately overwhelmed him.

Truthfully, he was just bluffing. He has no [ Health Potion ] anymore.

Even if he had, he doubts he could still continue fighting in his current condition. Although his physical wounds could heal, stress and fatigue would never disappear. It would just pile up.

Therefore, when he saw that the Red Dragon chose to retreat, Allen heaved a sigh of relief.

His body lied on the ground, eagle-spread.

He doesn’t have any strength to move and his vision started becoming blurry.

Ah, damn! My whole body hurts like hell!

If his body could talk, it would have already been screaming right now.

In the middle of the trees flattened in the aftermath of a violent fight, Allen was lying on the ground like a beaten dog.

He was in a horrible state.

But, he survived. He survived.

He did well not dying, truly.

But what’s more important is not this but the experience he had accumulated during this fight!

He was already Lv3 and leveling any further would certainly be millions mile away. This is also why Allen choose to fight the Elder Dragon.

Although the experience he could get would never be as much as he would acquire if he managed to kill it but even so, this much is still the same as killing 5 – 8 Lv5 monsters and above.

This amount of experience is still significant!

Unfortunately, even with this, although he doesn’t know how much experience he needs or currently had, he could still feel it. The experience he has right now should be almost on the verge of breaking through. It means he was already at Peak of Level3 and only need a small amount of experience to completely break through.

The reason why he had failed to advance was that; with fighting a wounded Elder Dragon to a draw, the experience he had acquired is not enough. Only then if he managed to strike to kill it, would he get a huge amount enough promote his level by two or even three?

… But that is certainly impossible with the Elder Dragon’s power!
