EFB Chapter 93 Tiger Man
Chapter 93 Tiger Man
A burst of orange-red heat rays erupted from Thor's mouth, instantly traversing a distance of over a hundred meters, sweeping fiercely across the sky above the low wall.
The dazzling streaks of light lingered in the air for a long time, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Some of the beastmen who had just leaped onto the wall felt a sudden heat between their chests and abdomens, and a pungent, acrid smell instantly filled the air. Their bodies then separated from each other.
Only then did the intense pain overwhelm them like a tidal wave, the fear of death crashing over them, and mournful cries rising and falling.
"My leg! My leg is gone!"
"Help! I don't want to die, someone please save me!"
"It's a dragon! It's a red dragon! Run!"
The newly organized team crumbled instantly. Some wooden stakes embedded in the low wall were ignited by the heat rays, and in the firelight, faces filled with terror were visible.
Notifications of increasing essence fragments flashed past Thor's line of sight. Each time it was only 0.1 to 0.2, but given the huge base number, it still caused his essence balance to increase rapidly at a visible speed.
This sight made him burst into unrestrained laughter. He folded his wings and began to swoop down rapidly.
As he descended, the magic within him began to regroup. When he was less than 30 meters off the ground, a surging river of flames once again erupted from his gaping dragon mouth.
Although the heat rays obtained from the Rock Dragon template have a longer range and stronger penetrating power, when it comes to large-scale damage, the Red Dragon's own fiery breath is still superior.
As Thor's body swept over the low wall and plunged into the camp behind, the flames he spewed from his mouth left a trail of fire nearly ten meters wide behind him.
This terrifying scene immediately terrified most of the beastmen, who fled in panic. However, some determined individuals leaped onto the rooftops and fired arrows and spears at Thor.
Looking at the cold light coming from all directions, Thor's eyes flashed with disdain as he let them all strike him.
By continuously consuming various minerals, the metallic components have thoroughly permeated his scales and bones, making his defense far superior to that of other red dragons of the same age.
The arrows and spears raining down on him sparked tiny, glittering sparks. Their sharp tips dulled instantly from the impact, but they failed to leave a single mark on the iridescent, crimson scales.
This scene plunged the group of beastmen into despair. Just as they were at a loss, a loud tiger's roar suddenly echoed throughout the camp.
"Evil dragon! Get out of my camp!!"
A bright orange figure sped towards them from afar, and in the glow of the towering flames, the distinctive king-shaped markings on his head were clearly visible.
This three-meter-tall humanoid tiger ran like a gust of wind, leaping across the rooftops several times before quickly reaching Thor. With a powerful push of its legs, it launched itself high into the air.
boom!!
The immense force caused the house beneath him to collapse instantly, but it also propelled the tiger-man to a height of nearly 30 meters. He raised his greatsword high above his head and slashed down at Thor's head with the force of splitting a mountain.
The intense sense of oppression caused Thor's golden pupils to shrink abruptly, and he reflexively raised his head.
The two-meter-long greatsword slammed into his chest with a sharp clang that echoed through the camp like a resounding bell.
Under this powerful blow, the crystalline coating on the surface of the crimson scales shattered, and the tough scales themselves split open from the middle, seeping out a trace of scorching dragon blood.
At the same time, Thor's thick forepaws swung out, his wide-open fingers like a winnowing basket, slamming down hard on the tiger-man in front of him.
The immense impact sent the over three-meter-tall humanoid tiger crashing back into the camp below, tumbling and smashing through several buildings and kicking up clouds of dust.
Thor felt a stinging pain in his chest, stretched out his claw and gently wiped it. Looking at the crimson stain on his fingertip, a ferocious smile crept onto his lips.
"To actually manage to hurt me, you're not bad among the trash in these mountains. You're worthy of me knowing your name. What's your name?"
A dull thud echoed as the tiger-man, who had been thrown back, pushed aside the rubble and crawled out of the collapsed house.
A trickle of blood was seeping from his forehead, staining the "王" (king) character pattern red. His left arm hung limply, showing abnormal swelling.
"Damn it! That red dragon is incredibly strong. Even when I managed to assume a defensive stance at the last moment, my left arm was almost broken. And the hardness of its scales... are dragons really that monstrous?"
He forced himself to move his left hand despite the pain, then glanced down at the greatsword in his right hand and noticed a huge nick in the blade.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he could only reply in a deep voice to Red Dragon's question.
"You can call me Bren. The people living in this camp are all beastmen who are not accepted by human society. If you came for treasure, you may be disappointed."
Thor grinned with his hideous mouth and casually waved his claws. A drop of blood from his fingertip landed on the head of a ratman below, making a sizzling sound like roasting meat.
Under normal circumstances, the blood of a true dragon is not a treasure; on the contrary, it is a terrifying poison.
Thor's extremely high body temperature made his blood flow like boiling magma, and amidst the ratman's terrified screams, it actually melted through his skull.
"Of course I know that you trash are all poor bastards. The most valuable thing you have is probably your skin."
But this time I haven't come for treasure, but because you lowly bastards dared to refuse my offer!
Thor's words left the tiger-man named Brun somewhat bewildered. When had they ever been recruited by the red dragon? If such a thing were true, even if they could still refuse, they would have made preparations in advance and would never have been caught off guard like this.
"Wait! There might be some misunderstanding. We haven't received any offers!"
Seeing the tiger-man's eager explanation, Thor's face turned to a playful expression.
"Is that so? Now you know, so make your choice! Submit or be destroyed. Kneel down immediately, or I'll crush you right here!"
A struggle appeared in the tiger-man's eyes, but Thor didn't have much patience to wait and soon became impatient.
I've been incredibly merciful and given a second chance, but this guy doesn't appreciate it. He's destined for destruction.
A surge of flames began to gather in his mouth, and the flame-like patterns on his outstretched wings gradually lit up.
The fire and earth elements in the air began to gather rapidly. Just as Thor was about to blow the tiger-man and the surrounding houses into the sky, a deep voice came from afar again.
"That's enough, you evil dragon! Leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened."
Thor stopped charging up, his golden pupils narrowed slightly, and he slowly turned his head.
"And what are you?"
