It didn't hesitate at all; its Dragon maw opened!

A crimson Dragon Breath, like molten iron, swept towards Yaso below!

The terrifying high temperature even caused the air along its path to severely distort!

However, facing this terrifying attack, powerful enough to instantly melt a mountain peak...

Yaso's figure merely swayed slightly, then transformed into a dazzling golden lightning bolt, vanishing from its original spot.

Boom—!!!

The crimson Dragon Breath slammed down onto the spot where Yaso had just been.

The earth shook violently!

The destructive flame shockwave once again carved a terrifying, bottomless gully through the already ruined urban area!

The towering flames almost illuminated half of Donghai City!

And the next second, Yaso's figure had already appeared hundreds of meters up in the sky.

Less than a hundred meters from that behemoth.

The Purgatory Flame Dragon's giant Dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and for the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in its pupils.

Such incredible speed!

But before it could react.

The next second, that tiny figure, hundreds of meters away, suddenly transformed into a dazzling lightning bolt, tearing through space, and appearing out of thin air right before its eyes!

Buzz—!!!

The katana in Yaso's hand let out an excited hum, filled with hunger!

On the Sword body, countless dense golden electric arcs wildly jumped, emitting 'crackle-pop' explosions!

The brilliant lightning, like a living thing, quickly enveloped the entire katana, actually stretching and enlarging it, transforming it into a golden lightning greatsword over ten meters long!

Before the Sword even arrived, that incomparably sharp, terrifying Sword Intent, as if it could tear through the sky, already made the Purgatory Flame Dragon's indestructible Dragon scales feel a stinging pain like being pricked by needles!

Yaso's face was expressionless.

He simply slowly raised the lightning greatsword in his hand and brought it down on the ferocious Dragon head, which was now within arm's reach!

Sword out.

Lightning strikes.

Unstoppable by all mountains!

The explosive golden lightning illuminated the dark night sky as if it were day!

Facing this earth-shattering blow, capable of cleaving mountains, the Purgatory Flame Dragon's burning Dragon eyes below actually showed a hint of human-like disdain.

It didn't dodge.

It didn't even make the most basic defensive moves.

Just as the lightning greatsword was about to touch the Dragon scales on its head.

"Whoosh—!"

Its massive body suddenly lit up with dazzling crimson flames!

Its hard Dragon scales, ferocious bone spurs, and even its massive Dragon body rapidly melted and distorted in the scorching flames.

In just a single breath, that arrogant behemoth actually transformed into a giant, blazing fireball with a diameter exceeding fifty meters!

The terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding air to severely distort, as if even space itself was about to be burned through!

The next second.

The golden lightning greatsword slammed down onto the giant crimson fireball!

There was no earth-shattering boom as imagined.

Nor was there any violent impact from clashing energy.

The greatsword, formed by countless bolts of lightning, passed through without any obstruction, like a red-hot knife cutting through butter, silently splitting the giant fireball in two!

The cut was neat and smooth as a mirror.

The fireball, split in two, plummeted towards the already ruined urban area below!

"Rumble—!!!"

Two deafening roars erupted almost simultaneously!

Destructive flame shockwaves spread wildly in all directions like a tsunami!

The earth wailed, and space trembled!

Two terrifying giant craters, each over a hundred meters in diameter, were formed with a crash!

...In the distance, behind the temporarily erected defenses.

All the professionals and military soldiers who witnessed this scene, after a brief silence, erupted into cheers like a mountain roar and sea surge!

"Holy crap! Awesome! That's f*cking awesome!"

A young soldier, his face flushed with excitement, waved his long spear and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"One Sword! Just one Sword! And he split that Hell-level BOSS in half!"

"This is what a true powerhouse is!"

"Eternal Night Guild is amazing! Vice Guild Leader Yaso is amazing!"

Everyone's faces were filled with the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.

In their opinion, the battle was over.

However.

High above, Zhou Huai, controlling Da Yi, silently watched the two blazing infernos below, his brow subtly furrowing.

Something was wrong.

That Sword strike just now, though grand in scale and seemingly infinitely powerful...

Zhou Huai could clearly feel that there was no sensation of hitting a solid object on the Sword edge.

It felt like striking a ball of cotton, all show and no substance.

"Body elementalization?"

A thought flashed through Zhou Huai's mind.

At the moment the golden greatsword was about to contact the Purgatory Flame Dragon, the giant beast likely transformed its entire body into fire elements, thereby immunizing itself against most physical attacks.

If that were the case, things would become troublesome.

With such a nearly invincible life-saving skill, Yaso's proud physical attacks would struggle to inflict effective damage on it.

And just as Zhou Huai expected.

The two giant fireballs below, which had been split in two, after a brief silence, began to writhe again as if they had a life of their own.

They transformed into two crimson torrents of flame, rapidly converging and Fusing in the middle.

In just a few breaths, the Purgatory Flame Dragon, which should have been split in two, reappeared perfectly intact in everyone's sight.

Not even a single scar could be seen on its massive body.

"Roar—!!!"

The Purgatory Flame Dragon let out a Dragon roar filled with contempt and mockery, looking up at the sky.

That sound seemed to echo directly in everyone's minds.

"Ant, is this your full power?"

"You're not even worthy of scratching this King's itch!"

The defensive line below, which had just been immersed in ecstasy, instantly fell into a deathly silence.

A look of unbelievable horror appeared on everyone's faces.

"Ho-how could this be?"

"Not dead? It doesn't even have a single injury?"

"It's over... How can we fight now?"

A feeling called despair once again enveloped everyone's hearts.

However.

Before the Purgatory Flame Dragon could gloat for a few seconds.

Click.

An extremely subtle sound, like porcelain cracking, came without warning from its massive head.

The expression on the Purgatory Flame Dragon's face suddenly froze.

A hint of bewilderment and confusion appeared in its burning Dragon eyes.

Then, under everyone's horrified gaze.

On its massive Dragon head, a ferocious Dragon horn, over ten meters long, like a red-hot branding iron, snapped cleanly from its base without any warning!

Then, silently, it plummeted towards the ruins below.

Boom!

The broken Dragon horn smashed into the ground, instantly igniting a blazing crimson inferno, once again burning the surrounding ruins into a glassy expanse.

At the same time.

A vivid, shocking damage number slowly floated up from the Purgatory Flame Dragon's head.

-239109!

High in the sky, Zhou Huai saw this number, and a glimmer of pleasant surprise lit up in his eyes.

It seemed.

Yaso's attack was not completely ineffective!

Although the Purgatory Flame Dragon had immunized itself against most ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ physical damage through body elementalization.

It could not, however, immunize itself against the invisible Sword Intent and Sword momentum contained within the Sword move!

That was a higher level of power, transcending physical attacks!

And it was Yaso's greatest gain in the second-turn challenge dungeon!
