"Shh-"

The red dragon dodged a swing of the scimitar by leaning sideways, then turned around and lashed the opponent's cheek with its thick long tail.

The air was torn apart again.

Cassius's tail, which was covered with bone spikes, hit the fire giant's face hard, causing the opponent's face to be distorted.

Another splash of blood as hot as magma.

"what!"

"I am going to kill you!"

With a crisp sound, the fire giant flew backwards dozens of meters and let out a painful howl.

The fire giant was knocked out of the cloud, leaving only gray smoke surrounding it.

"huh, huh"

Cassius submerged himself in the smoke, panting softly, and thought to himself: "This is a bit tricky."

There were several scratches on the red dragon's chest and back, dozens of extremely hard scales were broken, and even a large gap appeared on the left wing membrane.

The Fire Giant is indeed the natural ruler of the Fire Elemental Plane.

After releasing the power bestowed by the Great Sultan, the size of this fire giant was almost the same as his, or even larger.

At the same time, the power of the elemental plane of fire gave Ismail terrible strength, allowing him to gain the upper hand in the duel of power.

Every time he came into contact with the huge body of the fire giant, Cassius could always feel a repulsive force from the elemental plane of fire.

Although he is also a true dragon who controls the essence of fire magic, he is not a native inhabitant of the Fire Elemental Plane.

In other words, Cassius cannot borrow much power from the environment, while the fire giant can get assistance from the plane.

Divine-like power.

He was convinced of this again.

In Erezegei, the gap between gods and mortals is unexpectedly large and almost impossible to bridge. It is a generational gap in life level and nature of power.

No matter how powerful a mortal is, he is just an individual in the vast universe.

Gods are different. Their power is of the nature of "authority". They can use their divine power to leverage power that is several orders of magnitude higher than that of mortals.

Although the power displayed by Ismail is far from the real divine power, it has similar properties.

"Is this what the great sultan relies on?"

Cassius narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the fire giant in the distance through the smoke, his light golden pupils flashing with interest.

"So."

"Just let me see—"

"How far can you fight me?"

The red dragon raised its head and let out an angry roar. It then spread its wings and dived into the billowing smoke, disappearing without a trace.

"Go to hell! You sly guy, I see you!"

"Whoosh-"

Ismail threw the spear with the help of his warrior's intuition and plane perception, but the red dragon dodged it sideways at high speed.

The spear almost passed through the red dragon's belly, making an explosive sound in the air.

Cassius soared into the air, then unexpectedly slammed into the fire giant from behind, biting it with his bloody mouth full of dagger-like teeth.

"Pfft."

The sound of flesh being pierced.

What followed were roars of panic and wails of pain.

"what!"

"You despicable reptile! You are a shameless sneak attacker!"

Ismail almost instinctively grabbed Cassius' head and struggled to pull it over his shoulder.

His other hand was still tightly grasping the brass scimitar and slashing backwards, but the posture was too awkward and it was difficult for him to exert his full strength.

The blade cut into the hard scales, making a crisp sound of metal collision.

How could the Red Dragon do as he wished?
Cassius bit down with all his strength, and his sharp teeth pierced deeply into the flesh - a few teeth were even broken due to the fire giant's fierce struggle.

His two strong arms wrapped around the fire giant's shoulders and tightly grasped him, making it impossible for him to exert any force with his arms.

The red dragon also kicked forward with its strong hind legs, and its sharp claws pierced directly into the flesh of the fire giant, clawing him and making him bleed profusely.

In the past, it was difficult for Cassius to use this kind of fighting method because he was too huge.

Most of the time, he was fighting things that were no bigger than his claws.

This time, facing this huge fire giant that stands nearly forty meters tall, Cassius can finally enjoy the thrill of fighting.

"Ahhh-"

"Let me go! You damn reptile!"

Ismail struggled to free his bound arms and let out another furious roar.

But Cassius's front limbs that were knocked away were still clinging to the back of the fire giant, without any relaxation, and his mouth was biting tighter and tighter.

As the "ruler" of the elemental plane of fire, the surrounding flames flowed into the body of the fire giant, allowing his injuries to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As Cassius bit deeper, the flesh and blood on the fire giant's neck recovered. The scene was quite strange.

But soon, the fire giant felt a piercing chill coming from the back of his neck.

Ismail's heart suddenly began to ring with alarm bells, and he felt unprecedented tension and anxiety.

What on earth is he going to do?!

In his previous life, Cassius often wondered why dragons didn't spit out breath after biting their enemies when fighting other creatures?
And now, he is ready to try this somewhat novel method.

That is the Nine Rings spell—

[Extremely Cold Icefall]

Although cold spells were severely suppressed in the Fire Elemental Plane, Cassius didn't believe it wouldn't be effective at such a close distance.

Extreme cold air gushed out, almost freezing the fire giant's back.

"Do not--"

"You are blaspheming the God of Fire!"

Sparks flashed in Ismail's eyes, and he knew that he had to use all his strength!
Otherwise, it is likely to be frozen or even destroyed by the frost!

"Red Dragon! Get out of my way!"

He roared, opened his arms, and his muscles bulged. He used all his strength to activate the fine gold ring embedded in his flesh and blood.

Call upon the gift from the Great Sultan - or more precisely, from the essence of the elemental plane.

"boom!"

Extremely hot flames surrounded it, and the surrounding space was constantly shaking. Red ripples flashed over and over again, penetrating the red dragon's body.

The transparent red sphere enveloped the fire giant and the red dragon.

Cassius felt a powerful repulsive force. Every tooth and scale on his body was being repelled and destroyed by this force.

"This power is very dangerous. If we continue to stay in this affected space, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Ow—"

The red dragon loosened his mouth and claws without hesitation and let out a low roar. He flapped his wings violently and soared into the air as fast as a ghost.

However, the fire giant turned around and glared at the red dragon in the air, with orange-red flames shooting out of his eyes.

"boom--"

Pillars of fire shot towards the red dragon, and raging tongues of fire formed into pairs of huge hands, rushing towards the red dragon in the air from all directions.

At this time, Cassius had not yet flown out of the range of the red sphere!

The flame that represented the essence of the elemental plane wrapped around Cassius' body and clung to his wings, slowing down his movements.

And that was enough for Ismail.

The angry fire giant Pasha roared with great pleasure, his face full of a twisted smile, as if his great revenge was about to be taken.

"Red Dragon! I told you you were powerful, but—"

"No one can defeat a fire giant pasha in this plane! Your head is already in my pocket!"

"You seem to know a lot about magic, but have you ever seen it?!"

The fire giant Pasha jumped up impatiently, holding the brass scimitar tightly in both hands, and the patterns on the blade flashed dazzling light.

"Shh-"

This is Ismail’s final trump card.

[Beheading Sword]

Cassius' pupils shrank slightly.

The beheading sword was also a famous weapon feature in the previous life.

As long as this feature is activated and the opponent is unable to move, the weapon with this feature can behead the enemy with one blow, killing him completely.

Ismail's beheading sword was probably bestowed by the Great Sultan himself, and only a quasi-god with the [Immortality] attribute could withstand it.

The current red dragon cannot break free from the shackles of the plane power within five seconds, and this period of time is enough for Ismail to chop off the red dragon's head.

But thinking of this, the corners of Cassius' mouth suddenly curled up slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.

"Is this your trump card?"

The fire giant was almost in front of him, and the dazzling blade was getting closer and closer to the red dragon's head, becoming bigger and bigger in his light golden pupils.

But Cassius looked at the other person calmly, without any panic of impending death.

Ismail also noticed this, but he didn't think much about it and just thought that the other party was completely desperate.

"Red Dragon! Your head is about to fall!"

"Remember my name - the great fire djinni Pasha Ismail Enver!"

"Die!"

The earth-shaking roar, the space-tearing slash, the sea of ​​fire that scorched the sky and melted the earth, this would be a funeral that showed enough respect for any strong man.

But he didn't notice that amidst the chaotic sound, there was also a crisp and subtle "click".

"Shh-"

The next moment, a huge head rolled down from the air, with an extremely excited and ecstatic expression on it.

However, that was not the head of the red dragon, but that of the fire giant Pasha who thought he was about to win.

Cassius held the precious, blood-soaked brass scimitar in his claws, playing with it with ease and pleasure.

The hot blood splashed all over the red dragon's face and almost merged with his red scales, but Cassius still grinned with an exceptionally cruel smile.

"Thank you so much, Ismail Enver Pasha. I was just worried that I couldn't kill you."

Cassius has many ways to kill Ismael - Breath of Chaos is one of them.

But he chose the safest approach.

The process is very simple. Use the pocket watch given by the ancient time dragon to release the nine-ring spell [Time Stop], break free from the shackles of the fire elemental plane, and snatch the brass scimitar from the opponent's hand.

Then Cassius flew slowly behind the fire giant, got ready, and swung his scimitar the moment time was restored.

Behead!

The red dragon swung its sword.

The picture looks a bit weird, but the effect is pretty good, and the head of the fire giant Pasha was indeed chopped off.

Ishmael's plane power can block most spells, including the super magic of dragon sorcerers, but it cannot block powers that are also divine in nature - such as the runes engraved by the ancient time dragon.

"boom--"

As if sensing the pasha's demise, the Fire Elemental Plane let out a "wailing" and steam clouds gradually gathered, beginning with rain of ash falling.

"By the Lord of Fire..."

"Pasha..."

"died."

The elemental creatures that were trembling with fear at the sound of the battle finally stuck their heads out and looked up at the fall of the fire giant Pasha with an expression of disbelief.

"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"

The great red dragon is invincible!"

The soldiers of the empire had anticipated this and let out excited roars. The positions of the Burning Empire even erupted in cheers that reached the sky.

The huge body slowly fell, and as it fell, ashes and flames flew above it and gradually dissipated, while the remains gradually turned into the purest and most essential fire element essence.

"Good stuff."

Cassius' eyes lit up, greed revealed in his light golden pupils. He flapped his wings impatiently and pounced towards the fallen body of the fire giant Pasha.

"Casius!"

"Casius!"

A thunderous sound suddenly rang out, echoing across the burning plain, and there were even continuous echoes.

The voice was loud and distant, as if it was everywhere, but one could tell that its tone was filled with anger.

"I know you!"

"How dare you - kill a Pasha in my country!"

Cassius's expression gradually became solemn.

He knew that the source of the voice was the true master of this country, the being standing at the pinnacle of the elemental plane, the king of quasi-divine power - the Great Sultan of the Fire Giants. (End of this chapter)
