Theo didn’t allow the dragon to reorganize his thoughts. He flew toward the dragon while releasing his Death Avatar.

Death Eyes.

The powerful killing intent spread all over the battlefield as the dragon sensed it as an extreme threat. He could even smell blood from the killing intent alone.

His body shuddered for a moment before gritting his teeth.

“You bastard!” The dragon raised his hand. “It seems that you’re underestimating me too much. Even without that tree bastard, I’m enough to defeat you!”

“Wait, Dragon!” The World Tree panicked as he knew what he was planning to do.

The dragon didn’t wait. The ground started to shake as a pillar gradually came out of the ground.

It was a tall pillar, reaching a quarter mile.

Before the pillar reached its highest, Theo used his World Re-Creation to push it back to the ground by expanding downwards.

“Do you think your ability is superior to mine? You are just a flying lizard who calls yourself a dragon.” Theo smirked. “You’re nothing to the dragon I’ve seen.”

“The dragon you’ve seen?” The dragon widened his eyes before his eyes turned bloodshot. “Don’t you dare mention that lightning lizard! He is nothing compared to me!”

Theo was surprised that the dragon knew about him. But considering they were both dragons, knowing each other was nothing out of ordinary.

“Haha, I’m just stating the truth. Why are you getting so worked up?” Theo smirked. He used his Telekinesis to snap the pillar and turn it into a nail.

After that, he pushed it toward the dragon, planning to impale him.

It was at this time, the roots came out again and caught the stone nail before snapping it.

“I’ve told you to stop. If you use that move, I’ll be affected too. The Organic Material might be nice, but my ability isn’t enough to withstand the magma.” The World Tree was completely speechless, not knowing how to handle this dragon.

He thought the dragon would provide good support to defeat Theo, but he was completely at Theo’s mercy this whole time.

Talking didn’t seem to work as well, so he was out of options.

He wanted to use his explosive fruit to blast Theo again, but Theo was too close to the magma dragon. The explosion would also hit him and at that time, the dragon wouldn’t hesitate to attack him as well, turning this fight into a battle royal.

This was something he didn’t want since he also needed the dragon’s help to kill Theo.

Meanwhile, Theo was smiling this whole time. He was glad that the dragon actually helped him instead of cornering him.

He was planning to cause severe injuries to this dragon before he came to his senses and started working together with the tree.

Without hesitation, Theo flew toward the dragon again as the tree tried to stop him but to no avail.

As soon as he reached the dragon, Theo gathered his Magic Power into his hands, using his second law.

“From now onward, your magma shall be cold.” Theo smirked.

“Huh?” The dragon narrowed his eyes and released his magma, but as Theo said, there was no heat coming out of his magma. Instead, he felt cold.

“What is this?” The dragon was startled, not understanding Theo’s power. He thought it was an illusion, but he couldn’t do anything to this illusion.

He didn’t realize Theo was using a huge portion of his Order to trick the dragon. He shouted, “Why don’t you call yourself an Ice Dragon at this point? Magma certainly doesn’t suit you!”

“What did you say?” The dragon gathered his energy in his mouth and spat another mouthful of magma.

“Stop, you stupid dragon!” The World Tree kept screaming at the dragon as it tried to move its roots away.

However, Theo locked the roots with his Telekinesis.

The dragon harrumphed and shouted, “Since it’s cold, it won’t harm you!”

“He is–” The World Tree tried to warn the dragon, but it was too late. Theo had retracted his ability, giving back the heat.

The dragon and the World Tree could feel the intense heat coming from the magma again, but they couldn’t do anything as the magma hit another root, melting it.𝒩𝐎𝑣𝗅xt.𝓒𝐎𝕞

Theo used his sword to cut another root while praising the dragon. “Nice assist. Why don’t you become my mount? I mean, it’s certainly good to be known as a dragon knight. Hahahaha!”

“You want me to be your mount?” The dragon glared at him.

The World Tree started regretting his decision to help the dragon. He thought the dragon’s brain had melted and turned into magma, so the dragon didn’t know how to think anymore. Or his temper was truly like a magma, having no way to cool down. It might even become the rules he set before getting an Order.

The World Tree had no way of comprehending this dragon. If they continued this way, Theo might be able to defeat both of them.

Since the dragon didn’t care anything about him, the World Tree decided to use the second Explosive Fruit, throwing it to the dragon.

Seeing the explosive fruit, Theo’s body shivered for a bit, knowing what kind of injuries he would suffer if he took it head-on. Luckily, he had a perfect shield for this explosive.

Without hesitation, Theo flew toward the dragon. This time, he didn’t plan to do anything to the dragon.

“!!!” The dragon was confused at Theo’s action before misunderstanding his intention when he saw the explosive fruit. “Are you going to drag me down? I won’t allow you!”

The dragon waved its claws, trying to smack Theo.

Theo smiled and used his World Re-Creation to shift the explosive fruit trajectory while he utilized his Blink to teleport to the back of the dragon’s hand.

“Ah?!” The dragon had just realized Theo’s plan. The explosive fruit was going to hit him in the stomach, and he had no way to escape. At the same time, Theo was using his body as a cover.

Unfortunately for him, he realized it too late as the explosive fruit had hit his body.

*Boom!*
