nDespite the damage numbers appearing meager, Howard’s heart surged with ecstasy!

nNearly a thousand points of damage indicated that Howard could now penetrate Cameron’s defenses!

nNo matter how high Cameron’s level or how exceptional his attributes, his HP could at best hover around a hundred thousand or so.

nAfter all, not everyone is like Howard, blessed with the augmentation from the Divine Dragon.

nTwenty thousand HP might sound substantial, but in reality, without a healer, it’s not much.

nConsider, for instance, Howard’s use of the ‘Annihilation of the Tempest Goddess’.

nThis skill lasts an incredibly long time, and coupled with its high frequency of attacks per second, it was more than capable of slaying Cameron.

nOf course, this was under the assumption that Cameron would stand still, remaining within the range of the ‘Annihilation of the Tempest Goddess’ skill.

nAnother point to note is that the ‘Soul Fusion’ skill comes with its limitations. Given Howard’s current physical state, he couldn’t sustain it for too long.

nTherefore, Howard wouldn’t continuously use the ‘Annihilation of the Tempest Goddess’ skill.

nThis was a tactic he employed specifically for annihilating the ordinary soldiers.

nTo confront Cameron, he needed to enter the Draconic state and unleash Draconic Magic.

nWith the formidable power of Draconic Magic, Cameron was sure to be cast into the depths of hell.

nCameron, fully aware of the terrifying implication of his defenses being breached, let out a fierce roar.

nHe immediately swung his long spear towards the storm incarnation of Howard.

nHowever, when the sharp blade of the spear, imbued with blazing flames, ferociously struck the continuously swirling storm, it was astonishingly deflected.

nThe weapon’s direction was reversed, viciously striking Cameron himself.

nIn an instant, Cameron was sent flying, coughing up blood profusely. Above his head, blood-red damage numbers emerged.

n“-37882!”

nWitnessing the nearly forty thousand points of damage, Howard couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief, grateful for his wisdom in not giving Cameron the chance to strike his true form, opting instead to immediately use his skill.

nOtherwise, once the immunity effect of his equipment ended, coupled with the disappearance of the protective amulet, receiving an attack from Cameron would have undoubtedly been fatal for Howard.

nFortunately, when deploying Annihilation of the Tempest Goddess, Howard himself entered a state where he was unattackable and untargetable, and he could even reflect back the damage he received.

nAs a result, it was Cameron who suffered a severe blow, with his HP plummeting by about a quarter.

nHoward didn’t continue to pursue Cameron but instead chased after the group of soldiers.

nNo matter how fast those soldiers were, how could they possibly outrun the movement speed of a storm?

nMoreover, this skill continuously grew in power and range with time, reaching a peak state where it could affect an entire city.

nThus, it wasn’t long before the soldiers were engulfed by the storm, their flesh relentlessly sliced by the fierce winds, blood spraying out like a rain of blood.

nIn a short span of time, their flesh was reduced to minced meat by the wind blades.

nWitnessing this, Cameron’s heart trembled, filled with panic.

nAlthough Howard still couldn’t inflict severe damage on him, it was visibly evident that the damage was increasing.

nIf Howard continued, Cameron wasn’t sure he could withstand it.

nMoreover, watching his own soldiers die under his command exerted a significant psychological pressure on Cameron.

nThe most frightening thing for a person is the eerie unknown!

nOn the surface, Howard’s cultivation might seem inferior, but this is offset by his bizarre and potent skills!

nHad it not been for Cameron summoning flames to envelop himself, shielding against the relentless, ravaging winds – and thus proving Howard still weaker – Cameron would have certainly contemplated fleeing.

nHowever, as the damage numbers above his head steadily climbed, Cameron finally took note of the gradually intensifying storm manifested by Howard, and panic swiftly seeded in his heart.

nHe wanted to counter Howard, but Howard was in a special state, impervious to attacks. How could he then deal with this tempestuous skill?

nJust as Cameron was engulfed in confusion, the rampaging wind blades beside him abruptly dissipated. 𝘳𝘦.𝒸𝑜𝘮

nThe colossal storm in the sky also gradually ceased, eventually reverting back to Howard in his golden armor.

nWitnessing this, Cameron’s pupils sharply constricted. He couldn’t believe that Howard would voluntarily interrupt his skill at this crucial juncture!

nCould it be that Howard’s MP was insufficient to sustain the skill further?

nOr perhaps… did Howard possess an even more enigmatic skill?

nWhile his mind was awash with speculation, Cameron’s actions didn’t falter.

nYears of combat experience had him instantly vibrating his long spear, the flames blossoming like fireworks, before he surged towards Howard with incredible speed.

nHowever, before the flames could reach Howard, a resounding dragon’s roar suddenly filled the air. .

nThe golden dragon scale armor transformed once again. Howard’s originally upright figure started to hunch, and a dragon tail emerged from his posterior.

nIt was the Draconic State!

n“These are … dragon claws … dragon tail?!”

nAlthough Cameron had never seen an Oriental Divine Dragon, he was familiar with Western dragons.

nWitnessing such distinct dragon characteristics, he couldn’t help but be profoundly shocked, blurting out, “Could it be that you are a dragon transformed into the human form?”

nHearing Cameron’s words, Howard’s expression remained cold, offering no response.

nInstead, he directly executed the Draconic Magic skill – Thunder Dragon Domain!

nCrackling and rumbling thunderclaps filled the air as countless bolts of lightning burst forth, instantly creating a domain that enveloped both Howard and Cameron.

nFollowing that, a dragon composed entirely of thunder emerged. As soon as it appeared, it lunged towards Cameron with bared fangs and claws.

nFacing a dragon for the first time, even someone as powerful as Cameron couldn’t help but feel intimidated.

nTaking advantage of this moment, Howard’s MP slowly depleted, and he executed a second Draconic Magic skill – Thunder Dragon Roar.

nHoward knew that Cameron would be extremely cautious at this point, so he couldn’t afford to use skills with low hit chances.

nWith his current MP, a slow recovery would take considerable time.

nBut since the Thunder Dragon Domain was continuously draining his MP, to quickly replenish it and use other skills, he needed to successfully hit Cameron, thereby triggering the health recovery effect of his equipment.

nThunder Dragon Breath, a breath-type skill, had a smaller coverage area and was easier to dodge.

nThus, Thunder Dragon Roar, being an instant-cast AOE skill, was more likely to hit its target, especially with Cameron entangled by the dragon of lightning.

nIt would be much harder for him to avoid this attack.

nHoward’s guess was remarkably astute.

nCameron, in fact, had been vigilantly monitoring Howard’s every move.

nWitnessing Howard deploy his skill once again, Cameron instinctively retreated, eager to create distance between them.

nUnfortunately for Cameron, he was unaware of the true extent of Howard’s skill’s reach.

nEven as he backed away, his speed was no match for the sweeping force of Howard’s instantaneous skill.

nIn a mere instant, Cameron’s body was engulfed in a cascade of lightning, forcefully hurled through the air.

nA number appeared above his head, a figure that sent a surge of excitement through Howard’s veins –

n9782!

nThough not extraordinarily high, this number represented damage inflicted by Howard himself.

nIt signified a steady increase in the damage dealt to Cameron, enhancing the likelihood of Cameron’s defeat with each passing moment.

nFollowing the momentous strike, Howard’s MP saw a significant restoration.

nSeizing the opportunity while Cameron was still airborne and immobilized, Howard unleashed another ability from his repertoire – the Draconic Magic skill known as ‘Thunderous Dragon Breath’.

nTaking a deep breath beneath his mask, Howard opened his mouth.

nWhat followed was a spectacle of raw power: a vivid purple stream of lightning, like a pillar of light, burst forth, striking Cameron with unerring accuracy.

nIn that electrifying moment, Cameron’s body convulsed uncontrollably, succumbing to paralysis and rendered incapable of movement.

n“-1082!”

n“-929!”

n“-1327!”

n“-1017!”

n“…”

nThe Dragon Breath, inherently a continuous assault, inflicted consecutive bouts of damage.

nEach segment of the attack not only weakened Cameron further but also replenished a substantial amount of Howard’s MP, fueling his relentless assault.

nIn just a few breaths, Cameron was paralyzed in place, unable to move.

nThis allowed Howard to fully restore his MP.

nHoward’s lips curled into a smirk, and he immediately unleashed his final Draconic Magic skill – Thunderflame Dragon Wrath!

nA deep rumble resonated as the skill was activated. Howard’s body surged with both Electro and Pyro elements, distinctly different yet merging seamlessly within him.

nAt that moment, Howard felt an overwhelming surge of power coursing through him.

nLooking at Cameron, his gaze was cold and indifferent, as if staring down at an insignificant ant.

nSensing this piercing gaze, even the immobilized Cameron felt his heart rate slow.

nA premonition dawned upon him that he might not be a match for Howard in this state.
