Chapter 742 47: Pursuit
The Three-headed Demon Dragon responded immediately, ceasing to spew dragon flames, and its three heads simultaneously snapped towards the flying Red-Black Giant Dragon.
Unfortunately, the true killing move was never Losa in the form of the True Dragon.
The only purpose for him to withstand the three dragon breaths and charge in front of the opponent was to deliver Viviana to Mahmud II!
Toxicity, curse, flames.
The first two belong to the category of negative effects, and since Losa possessed Dragon Bloodline, his resistance to them was already astonishingly high. The latter, needless to say, he was already nearly immune to flames, and with the power of the Fire Virtue Dragon, his flame resistance increased by another level.
The reason Losa made this choice was simple: talking dragon flames, how could one head compete against three heads?
In terms of size, the Three-headed Demon Dragon not only has three heads but also three necks, making it thirty meters longer than Losa. In close combat, it's almost like fighting one against two. Even if his defense is astonishing, it's hard for him to prevail.
In comparison, he has only one advantage.
That is, he has a Phase Dragon Knight on his back, whose power is no less than Tier Two!
And the opponent's weakness is also very obvious, which is Mahmud II.
Boom—
Losa's head with a dragon horn fiercely collided with one of the Demon Dragon's heads, but immediately, the other two Demon Dragon heads with blood-thirsty mouths filled with sharp fangs, bit deeply into his neck covered with red-black scales.
The Solid Stone Talent activated, and the two Demon Dragon heads felt as if they were biting into a piece of immortal meteorite iron used to forge Divine Artifacts, almost crushing their rows of steel teeth, with disbelief written in all six eyes of the three heads.
Although its melee combat ability is slightly inferior to the Copper-Horned Red Dragon because of lesser defense and power, it doesn't mean the bite force of its three heads is weak. What kind of unknown species of red-black dragon is this, with such strong defense?
During this moment of stun, Losa opened his giant mouth, revealing the Candle Knight hidden within.
She had thought about what might happen if this battle were lost, the fate of the soldiers who revered her, the street children, and the ragged women holding their children, receiving relief at the church doors.
The heavy pressure often left her tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
But when the battle's outcome needed determining, her thoughts scattered like dandelions only had one left—kill this Conqueror!
In an instant, sword shadows seemed to
come at Mahmud II from all directions; this was swordsmanship Viviana created during her travels through European Great Powers, using the Hohenzollern's secret Light and Shadow technique as a foundation, undoubtedly deserving its name of Swift Light and Shadow.
Unexpectedly to Viviana and Losa, Mahmud II raised his scepter and slightly tapped the dragon spine, causing his entire body to melt away and disappear.
Viviana's sword blade struck the Demon Dragon's body, leaving deep sword marks, splattering dragon blood, but the Three-headed Demon Dragon's body was too large, making such injuries, deadly to humans, trivial for a 100-meter-long Three-headed Demon Dragon, akin to a slight cut on its finger.
Viviana landed on the Demon Dragon's back, trying to extend her spiritual power to locate Mahmud II, but before gaining her footing, the dragon blood flowed on the dragon's back, pulled by an invisible force, transformed into lava monsters, pouncing towards her.
It's bad.
Losa's heart tensed, and his dragon blood immediately accelerated its flow, lava-like patterns appearing in the gaps of his scale armor—Blood Magic, Bloodfall activated!
Solid Stone Talent can only immunize physical attacks for just three seconds; once expired, even if his defense surpasses that of the Copper-Horned Red Dragon, being attacked by three heads will quickly put him at a disadvantage.
With Bloodfall activated, the Three-headed Demon Dragon felt the unknown red-black giant dragon's power increase dramatically, the head like meteorite iron smashing towards the two Demon Dragon heads.
One hit, two hits...
The terrifying force caused the Demon Dragon teeth biting his body to scrape sparks against his scales, nearly freeing itself.
But such aggression only fueled the Three-headed Demon's ferocity; refusing to loosen their grips, the empty head opened its massive mouth, pouring blazing dragon flames towards the red-black dragon pinned by two heads.
Losa wasn't willing to be outdone, attacking in return.
Similarly, with dragon flames, one-on-one, he wouldn't fear the opponent.
As the two dragon flames collided, the terrifying recoil pushed both parties to create distance.
Losa felt excruciating pain where he had been bitten; the three-second Solid Stone is incredibly short, and afterward, he relied solely on his formidable defense and protective dragon qi to withstand it, aimed to create an illusion of extraordinary defense.
After the recoil forced the Three-headed Demon Dragon away, the two empty heads immediately joined spewing dragon flames.
As Losa anticipated, fighting three dragon flames, despite his flames being triply boosted by the powers of Tyrannical Dragon, Ghost Dragon, and Fire Virtue Dragon, he's still not the opponent, his crimson pillar continuously nudged back, even causing his vibrating wings to feel the heavy pressure as if giants were shoving him back.
I won't fight you with dragon flames!
Decisively abandoning the fight, Losa soared into the sky, with his flight speed enhanced by absorbing red lightning. The three flame pillars sweeping across the sky could not harm him even slightly.
Soon after, the Three-headed Demon Dragon ceased spewing dragon flames, seemingly received Mahmud II's instructions, glaring unwillingly at the sky-bound red-black dragon before unwaveringly diverging toward the opposite direction.
On the ground, the defenders of Constantinople mistook this as an upper hand for them and cheered collectively.
The Ottomans, however, were terrified, fearing the red-black dragon might ignore their lord and descend for a massacre.
But Losa couldn't spare them any thought; without hesitation, he flapped his wings and accelerated to follow.
Regardless of Viviana still being on Mahmud II's back, even if she wasn't, in Losa's view, Mahmud II alone was more crucial than the ten thousand Ottoman troops below.
If this young Ottoman Sultan can be killed, it would undoubtedly cause division among the Ottomans.
By then, Venetians, Genoese, Ottoman's vassal states Serbia and Bulgaria, and Frederick III, who's busy fighting Laslo over Austria's control—all factions potentially forming a large Crusade again.
The Ottomans' arch-enemies from Anatolia, the Karaman people claiming themselves as the rightful successor of Rom Kingdom, they definitely wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
By then, the internally and externally troubled Ottomans would surely be divided, while Rome's revival isn't guaranteed, Losa has ninety-nine percent confidence in Ottoman's fall before Rome.
The flight path of the Three-headed Demon Dragon is peculiar, occasionally making a three-hundred-sixty-degree spin.
