Chapter 95 Fierce Battle
Flight—for the vast majority of living beings, it remains an unfamiliar word.
Even in this fantastical world, over 90% of warrior professionals, after countless trials and tribulations, have developed iron-like physiques, astonishing strength, and lightning-fast movement abilities, yet they still cannot break free from the earth's constraints and grasp the mysteries of flight.
Only by using magical equipment or by being a spellcaster can one have the opportunity to step into that vast sky realm.
Since this old bear-man has completely integrated the ways of other beasts into his bear body, even if he truly possesses the spirit of a bird, he probably won't be able to use it now.
If one day he can truly make the characteristics of all animals appear on his body at the same time, then he will not be far from the realm of legend.
…………
Faced with Thor's question, the old bear felt a sudden chill in his heart and instantly sensed that something was wrong.
With a powerful push from his strong legs, he landed on all fours and surged forward at high speed like a fully loaded truck.
This reaction was undeniably swift, but compared to Thor, it was ultimately a step too slow.
Before the words had even finished, Thor's wings, which were adorned with flame patterns, had already spread open. With a sudden flap of his large wing membranes, he used the powerful reaction force to take off directly into the air.
It should be noted that most real dragons, due to their enormous size, often need a running start before taking off, just like geese and swans.
Even with training, this process can be omitted, but it still requires the jumping power of the limbs, unlike Thor, who simply used the power of his wings to pull himself off the ground.
The giant bear-man missed its target and was met with a raging inferno from above.
Thor's red dragon bloodline was surging rapidly, causing the surrounding fire elements to continuously converge towards his wings, transforming into a constant stream of dragon breath from his mouth.
What is the greatest strength of a true dragon? Besides its incomparably strong physique and the magic that awakens with age, isn't it its innate breath weapon and its extraordinary ability to fly?
Seeing that his opponent had switched to a form suitable for close combat, Thor naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to stand on the ground and fight head-on.
Faced with the oncoming flames, the old bear-man only let out a deafening roar, and his body surface flashed with a yellowish light. No matter how the flames burned, his golden-brown fur remained completely still and unharmed.
With his strong arms, he swept to the side and lifted up a huge rock, over a meter in diameter, from the foundation of the room, then slammed it down on Thor in mid-air.
Seeing the massive boulder hurtling towards him, Thor subtly adjusted the small muscles within his wings and nimbly flipped away to dodge it. A faint red glow emanated from his chest and throat, and his dragon breath continued to pour forth.
The raging flames, after landing on the ground, spread outwards like blooming lotus flowers. The houses built of wood, stone, and clay around them began to be set ablaze, gradually turning into blazing bonfires.
Some of the beastmen who couldn't escape were instantly engulfed by the sea of fire. They screamed in agony as they struggled desperately in the flames, looking like dancing torches.
The old bear-man watched helplessly as his camp, painstakingly built, was about to be burned to the ground, not only unable to subdue the evil dragon in the sky but also threatened with complete destruction.
This was crucial to his future exploration of the Way of the Wild. He gritted his teeth, and his massive body suddenly shrank, returning to its original size once more.
"Damn dragon! You cowardly coward who only knows how to run away, do you really think I'm helpless just because you're flying in the sky? Watch out, my wings of flight!"
The spirits of the beasts that had been swallowed by the giant bear reappeared, and a phantom-like figure, resembling a swan, enveloped the old bear-man.
Two wings made entirely of energy suddenly extended from his shoulder blades, transforming him into a flying bear that soared straight into the sky.
Thor was surprised to find that the guy was actually quite fast; in the blink of an eye, he was already beside him.
Immediately afterwards, a dull pain came – it turned out that the old bear-man had clenched his large hands into fists and pounded them hard on his side.
"That's interesting. They actually dare to fly up into the sky and fight me."
Feeling the throbbing pain in his side, a fierce glint flashed in Thor's eyes.
His head, which was spewing dragon flames, suddenly jerked upwards, and the flames that should have soared into the sky instead poured down his nose like water.
His magical ability to manipulate mortal fire allows him to control and shape the flames he spews out, as well as the naturally burning flames around him, to a certain extent.
Flames continuously gushed from the corners of his mouth and began to envelop his body, quickly forming a thick cloak of flames, so that any creature that wanted to attack him had to endure a wave of scorching flames first.
As the temperature continued to rise, Thor's already bright red scales shimmered with a blazing red light, as if they were branded with a red-hot iron.
When the old bear-man dodged Thor's pounce and struck him in the chest with a backhand punch, he felt a sharp, burning pain. After dodging, he discovered that a patch of the thick fur on his paws had been singed.
What kind of monster is this? Its defensive capabilities far surpass those of an ordinary red dragon, its breath attacks are incredibly varied, it possesses powerful flight abilities, and its physical attributes are terrifying…
This gave the old bear-man the illusion that he was facing not a juvenile red dragon, but an adult red dragon.
If they're already this terrifying at such a young age, what will they be like when they get older?
The old bear-man began to hesitate, wondering whether he should continue fighting.
But when he thought about how he had completely offended this monster, and how he would probably not be able to sleep peacefully if he were to live through today, he immediately made up his mind.
After dodging Thor's tail sweep with a spin, the old bear-man soared into the air and fell towards his back.
Faced with this move, which was clearly intended to attack the blind spot behind the large animal, Thor simply let out a silent laugh.
With a flick of his flexible neck, he twisted his head all the way behind him.
Faced with the dragon's mouth suddenly biting down, this time, the old bear-man did not dodge, but instead took the initiative to meet it.
He raised his hands and pressed down on Thor's jaw, the wings on his back instantly disintegrated, and the phantom of a brown bear reappeared on his body.
He actually intended to switch forms in mid-air to forcibly drag Thor to the ground.
However, just as the massive number of beast spirits emerged, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from Thor's throat.
A terrifyingly high-temperature heat beam passed between the old bear-man's palms, heading straight for his head. Although he dodged it by turning his head, it penetrated directly into the beast spirits that rose behind him.
As Thor's head swayed, the orange-red light instantly flashed like a divine sword, slicing through the vast array of beast spirits.
Countless disintegrating points of soul light appeared in the sky and were fiercely absorbed into his body.
"Old man, it seems you've miscalculated!"
