Chapter 119: Drake
In a few seconds, Charles arrived near the entrance, and soon his pupil shrank as he saw a five-meter long frilled red lizard!
Even in the dim darkness, the surrounding appeared brighter due to the presence of Lava Lake and exposed the lizard's location to him.
The lizard's body was covered entirely in small shell-like skin and appeared enormous. Not only that, its tail itself appeared very sharp as a blade and was moving on its own like a poisonous snake!
Upon seeing the strange lizard creature, Charles used [Cryptic Analysis] skill and soon got some information about the lizard creature.
'Heh, it's a Rank-3 Frilled Drake, huh. This indeed looks like a scary thing.'
He also saw Drake's innate bloodline spells like [Lava Spit], [Speedy Movement], [Red Armor], and became solemn.
'This thing is a very dangerous one.' He quietly observed the lizard, which was quietly walking back and forth near the shore of the Lava Lake for a moment, and stealthily took out the Starfall Codex magic book.
'Should I attack?' He hesitated.
'This lizard is not a normal monster. Moreover, my body is also in a weak state.' Charles knew that a single mistake might lead to a severe consequence.
'But If I back off now, that blonde-haired man might find out my true identity and inform the Red Prince.' He thought for a moment and chose to kill this creature.
But he didn't act rashly, though. Instead, he hid his presence using the [Conceal] spell and stayed near the cave wall-like a statue. He watched how the Drake catches a fish-like creature from the Lava Lake using its tail and waited for an opportunity.
In the meantime, Drake continued to catch lava creatures from time to time and started eating.
'These Lava creatures' skin seemed to be hard as a rock. If not, how could they survive in the liquid lava? Even with my Expert level body, I'm feeling difficulty in staying here. The hot atmosphere is both good and bad for me. The good thing is that this hot atmosphere actually strengthens my connection with the spell models. If I try to comprehend the spell models in this Fire Elemental plane, I might only take 4 to 6 months.'
'But the bad thing is actually related to my body. Unlike these creatures, my body is a slightly mutated human one and I'm not completely resistant to fire. So if I stay here for too long, my body might get mutated on its own due to the heat and radiation. Although this is a magical world, I'm not sure that staying here is safer or not. With my current understanding, I can only stay here for two more days. Any more than that, it might not be a good thing for my body.' Charles let out a deep sigh and soon noticed that the Drake started to lay down on the rocky shore.
The Drake placed its rough red-skinned head on its left front leg and started to sleep in a minute.
Upon seeing the opportunity, Charles silently opened the Starfall Codex and started flipping the page.
Soon, he stopped at page no. 9 and started to chant in a low voice.
A few seconds later, an illusionary eye appeared on his forehead, and soon a bolt of purple lightning came out from it.
It was a Rank-3 Bloodline Spell, Eye of Destruction!
The thin bolt of purple lightning flew towards the sleeping Drake and landed on its forehead area in a blink.
The next second, the purple bolt of lightning spread towards its body and paralyzed the Drake on the spot!
Charles instantly raised his hand, pointed his finger at Drake, and started casting [Incinerate] spell!
But unlike before, rays of crimson fire flew out from Charles's forefinger continuously and landed on its face one by one.
No, those crimson rays precisely landed on its right side closed eye!
If Charles had faced this Drake in Edhen, he wouldn't have made such a decision to kill it.
But it was completely different here. In this Moris Fire Elemental Plane, he wouldn't need to wait for the cooldown to cast Rank-1 spells because this whole world was filled with fire-elemental energies!
In seconds, tens of crimson rays flew from Charles and completely burned Drake's right eye!
But there was no happiness on Charles's face, though.
'It is no use. My Rank-1 attack spell is not enough to give a fatal wound. Moreover, this creature's skin is too tough.' Charles also noticed that the Drake was starting to regain control over its body and grew solemn.
He instantly used his [Magician Hand's] skill to flip the Starfall Codex book page and soon stopped at page no.10.
'Mr. Runeth, I need your help now.' Charles spoke inwardly, took two steps forward towards the half-paralyzed Drake, and continued to attack it with his Rank-1 spells.
In the meantime, the whole Drake's body shook due to the pain!
It tried its best to open its mouth, but those crimson rays entered deep into the burned right eye and started damaging further.
On the other hand, Charles heard an old voice in his head and got more confident about killing Drake.
With an icy look on his face, he moved his forefinger towards the left eye and continued to cast the Rank-1 [Incinerate] spells.
By the time the Drake got released from the paralysis effect, it had long turned into a blind creature!
At that moment, the Drake raised its bloody head and gave a deep roar towards the sky!
It then turned its lizard head sharply towards Charles and took a step forward.
A moment later, Drake's whole body began to shine in bright yellow light and it sprinted madly towards him at an unimaginable speed!
'It must be the [Speedy] bloodline spell!' A thought appeared in his mind.
Upon watching the speed, Charles's heart skipped a beat!
'It can sense my presence?' He instantly went on an alert mode, cast Rank-1 [Fire Wings] spell on himself, and flew up towards the sky.
At the same time, Drake suddenly stopped its movement and raised its head towards the sky.
No, it raised his head towards the direction where Charles was hovering and opened its mouth.
For a moment, Charles's felt a chill in his heart!
'This creature can even locate me when I'm flying?' He was completely stunned.
Meanwhile, a tick ball of crimson lava came out from its mouth and moved towards Charles quickly!
'F*ck, I can't dodge in time!' His completion went pale as he tried his best to flap the crimson wings.
At that moment, Charles heard the Holem's Crown's voice.
"Wind Blade."
In an instant, a sharp invisible blade appeared in front of his hand and moved towards the upcoming fireball.
It soon split the Lava ball into two and landed on Drake's wide-opened mouth.
A miserable shriek echoed in the shore of the Lava Lake!
Scarlet blood oozed out from Drake's mouth and painted the brown rocky shore.
Meanwhile, the split lava balls also landed on Charles's fire wings and made holes on both sides of his wings!
'I need to land now.' Charles's face went grim as he flapped the torn wings to move closer towards the ground and soon fell on the ground.
Thankfully, he didn't get any injury, so he instantly stood up and took out the Ember Pistol from his space ring.
Then, he turned the hammer, aimed the pistol at the bloodied Drake's wide-opened mouth, and squeezed the trigger.
Even in the dim darkness, the surrounding appeared brighter due to the presence of Lava Lake and exposed the lizard's location to him.
