Long before the Starfire Dragon's fiery attack even reached him, Yuan could feel his skin being scorched by the intense heat radiating from the massive ball of flames.
Despite the dangerous situation, he refused to move away, seeming intent on blocking the attack with his bare body.
"H-he can't be serious… right?" The Starfire Dragon muttered in a dazed voice.
After the Starfire Dragon unleashed his attack, he began to fear the possibility of actually killing Yuan. Unsure, he glanced at Yingzi, searching for any sign of concern.
Noting her nonchalant demeanor, he sighed in relief, thinking, 'I doubt she would actually let me kill him. I need to push him to fully transform, no matter the cost!' With this resolution, he continued his fiery assault.
As the Starfire Meteor neared, about to make an impact, Yuan wrapped his arm in Enhanced Sword Aura and flicked it toward the massive ball of flames. The heat was intense enough to incinerate his arm completely, yet he sliced the meteor in half, and his burned arm fully recovered a few seconds later.
"What is that sharp energy?" Yingzi's eyes widened with interest after seeing Sword Aura for the first time.
The Starfire Dragon was just as shocked and puzzled as Yingzi, as he'd never heard of anything like that before.
'What is that weird energy? And what is with that ridiculous regenerative ability? My flames have a unique property that greatly reduces healing! Why isn't it working on him?!'
Unbeknownst to the Starfire Dragon, his flames actually reduced Yuan's healing ability. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken him a few seconds to heal but instantly.
<Your resistance to fire has increased>
"Not bad." Yuan examined his arm, which appeared completely healed on the surface. Despite this, a lingering burning sensation remained.
'What kind of dragon bloodline does he have? I don't know of any bloodlines with such a powerful healing ability, not to mention that weird energy he used to split my fire!'
"L-let's see if you can cut this!" The Starfire Dragon soared into the air, spreading his wings wide. As he did so, tens of thousands of small fireballs materialized, raining down upon Yuan like a fiery meteor shower. In response, Yuan cloaked his entire body in Enhanced Sword Aura, transforming himself into a blur as he charged directly toward the Starfire Dragon, undeterred by the onslaught of flames.
As Yuan charged forward, his Enhanced Sword Aura sliced through the barrage of fireballs, annihilating anything it touched. However, the intense heat from the fireballs penetrated his aura, inflicting direct damage on his body. Despite this, Yuan's form, now completely charred, continued to advance resolutely towards the Starfire Dragon.
'What the fuck?!'
The Starfire Dragon was left terrified by Yuan's unrelenting will and persistence. He always thought dragons with royal bloodline were mentally weak and disliked pain, but Yuan appeared to be the complete opposite of the rumors.
In the midst of Starfire Dragon's shock, Yuan arrived before him and swung his arm, unleashing a powerful sword light.
The Starfire Dragon hastily snapped out of his daze to avoid the sword light, but he failed and ended up having one of his wings severed.
He unleashed a thunderous roar, echoing through the air with such ferocity that he seemed to have entered a state of frenzy.
"I don't care anymore!"
The Starfire Dragon suddenly curled his body into a tight ball, and a red, ominous light began radiating from him, signaling the buildup of a potentially devastating attack.
"Need my help? You might die from this." Yingzi suddenly said.
