Dragon King's Harem Chapter 46. Dragonfire Desert II

  Evelina and Eir spurred their Yegaun to follod as their eyes stared at him in amazement, not believing what they saw. Before they left, they thought both of them would act as Argod's guards sihe closer they got tonfire Desert, the monsters around them would get mgressive and have a higher level. Moreover, wild monsters were different from those oraining ground because the monsters would attack from random dires, even hiding and making an ambush.

  But beyond their expectations, Argod could face them alone by just requesting Evelina's support skills. Also, this was the first time they had seen someone biwo different skills to attack. Since before the curse disappeared, Argod had never do. With that, Argod could face all of his oppos from a distahout any injury nor stopping or decreasing their speed.

  'Did he really lose his power?' Evelina started to doubt her own Analyze skill si only Argod's progress was too fast but the way he trolled his power was beyond his old habits, as if he didn't lose his power at all. But either way, Eveli calmer since Argod seemed to be catg up quickly.

  Meanwhile, seeing Argod's progress, Eir felt much more optimistic that the king would regain his strength soon before the other tribes realized his dition.

  As minutes passed, the sery around us began to ge. The ground which reviously covered by grass with trees began to ge into a reddish-e desert resembling the colour of the Dragon Tribe's fire. That's why this pce was called the Dragonfire Desert. The trees were repced by strange green cactus with a red strange flower at the top. Big tough and strong 'leaves' that resemble aloe vera grew around it, making it a natural barrier from both storms and monsters. Several dead trees were also seen there. The humidity around us decreased as we tio spur aun into the desert farther and farther away. The heat from the suns above our heads became hotter and the temperature around us rose. As the heat bit our skin, our hands put on our hood to protect our heads from the heat. Besides, it was different from before, we slowed down aun so that their feet were not stu the sand.

  I swept my gaze around me in caution si was my first time in a desert area like this. Carpet of sand covered our path as far as my eyes could see, but that was just in pin sight. Because my Dragon Vision caught several monsters hiding uhe sand as well as stalking us from the air. But sihey hadn't attacked us, I wouldn't attack them either. I raised my index finger and moved it in a cirg motion, telling Eir and Evelina to be careful with our surroundings. While my attention remained on the front.

  As expected, after I gestured to them. A Ruthless Rattlesnake who hadn't moved suddenly came out to the surface two hundred meters from my side and slithered towards me. His shape was ten times bigger than a rge snake and had no eyes, instead, his skin was very sensitive to every movement and his ears were shaped like broad maple leaves very sensitive to sound. His fangs were very poisonous and had sharp spiky two tails. Reddish-brown scales covered his body.

  [Name: Ruthless Rattlesnake][Level 44][Type: Brute][Elemeh][Speed: Normal][HP: 660/660][Mana: 132/132][ATK: 351][M.ATK: 62][DEF: 120][Skills: Sharp Tails, Poison Spit, Poison Fangs, Scale Armor]

  Looking at his skills, I knew I could only kill him with one way, which was, cut off his head. I pulled the reins in my hands to stop my Yegaun and use my skills.'Adrenaline Surge! Dragon Armor! '

  At the same time, Evelina also stopped her Yegaun and cast her Power Boost and Accelerate on me.

  [Adrenaline Surge has been activated.][Dragon Armor has been activated.][Power Boost has been activated.][Accelerate has been activated.]

  [ATK: 220 + 110+ 220][M.ATK: 220 + 110 +220][DEF: 98 + 49][SPD: 98 + 49 +98][Time remaining: 14:56]

  I extended my hand to the monster.'Bzing Orb!'

  Thirty-five fire orbs appeared in front of me, but unlike before, I didn't throw them at that monster but kept it around me. When that monster was only less than 10 meters away from me, I unched my fire orbs at that Ruthless Rattlesnake.

  The moopped but it didn't evade.

  - Boom! - Boom! - Boom!

  Explosions apanied by smoke surrouhe monster's body, creating a strong wind from the explosions that were ing from and armed the other monsters around us. I could see some of them decided to avoid our battle and fled in another dire, especially the low-level monsters. Although the explosions looked deadly, they did not give any damage to the monster.

  Eir and Evelina gasped. They know what I did was a fatal mistake. Because that monster couldn't be defeated without beheading it. Evelina got ready to cast her Mana Barrier, getting ready if Argod couldn't hahe monster. While Eir shifted one of his hands to approach the sword in his belt. His eyes were fixed on the monster.

  But of course, I expected this, because all I wanted was to create a diversion so I could attack it easily sihis monster was very sensitive to sound and touch.'Honor! Pride! '

  I summoned my double sword as my wings appeared on my back. As fast as I could, I jumped at the monster and moved my double sword in a otiht around his neck, separating his head in one ssh.

  [Overkill!][You have cut a Ruthless Rattlesnake for 430 HP] X2[Your enemy has beeed!][You have gained EXP!]

  - Bruk!

  The monster's head fell onto the sand as I jumped bay Yegaun. While red blood gushed from its ned drehe surroundings, turning the sand around it into blood-red colour. Quickly, I stretched my hand in front of it and used my Mana Barrier.

  A transparent rotected me.

  [A barrier has been formed.]

  The barrier protected me from the monster's blood and prevehe corpse from falling on me. Not only did we kill the monsters but we also had to avoid their smell and blood stig to our bodies because some monsters had sharp senses of smells that were attracted to the other monsters' blood sts.

  'Ugh! That's disgusting, 'I thought as my eyes looked at the blood spray stuto my barrier. As soon as his body colpsed onto the sand and didn't move anymore, I celled my Mana Barrier and my Mana on.

  A breath escaped my mouth as I turo Eir and Evelina, my hands returo the reins."Let's ---" My words stopped when I could see Eir and Evelina stiffened with their gazes on me. Evelina's hand was ready to cast her skill. While Eir's hand was ready to draw his sword.

  Notig my gaze, they quickly lowered their hands aurheir hands to the reins. A nervous smile on their faces."Shall we tinue our journey, Your Majesty?" said Eir with an awkward grin.

  I sighed."Let's go."

  We were just about to move, but suddenly the ground below us shook like ahquake. aun stomped their feet repeatedly and their heads wagged restlessly. Their eyes swept around in caution.

  Our hands grabbed our reins tightly and tugged at them, trying to trol our mounts. Our eyes also swept around us as we banced our bodies."KKKKRRRRRRRRR!" they growled.

  Even though there was nothing around us, with my Dragon Vision, I could see dozens of monsters approag us from beh the sand.'Dammit! It's an ambush! '
