**Ditrodon.**
A massive pterosaur adorned with a crest on its back.
The size of an ordinary Ditrodon would be similar to mine.
But the one before was anything but ordinary.
It should have been crawling on all fours, yet it was naturally lifting one leg.
No, its entire body was unbalanced.
The lengths of its forelegs didn’t match, and there was nothing in the space where one eye should have been.
Yet its size was larger than mine.
Moreover, its level was no joke.
It was higher than that of the Cockatrice and the gatherium.
Even in such a state, I couldn’t afford to underestimate it.
“Grrr…”
The Ditrodon stared at directly.
It likely ant it had confidence in its raw strength.
In any battle, this is when I needed to conserve my resources even more.
I couldn’t retreat, and I had no ans to recover my health.
In that regard, using the toxic strategy had proven to be quite effective.
If I had carelessly unleashed sothing like the Kaek Death Beam, I wouldn’t have even been able to use my Dash.
I rushed toward it at high speed.
“Graaaar!”
It let out a roar as it swung its foreleg.
Boom!
Naturally, it dodged my attack by pulling back.
My claws struck the ground, and in that mont, other beasts took the opportunity to attack.
“Grah!”
The Terror Birds, Sabertooths, and even smaller gatheriums.
Dinosaurs about the size of Deinonychus.
A multitude of enemies were targeting my openings.
Just like the Cordyceps did before, this creature was also using its subordinates to ensure its safety.
And that was a situation I had already overco.
My current body was as sharp as a blade.
Swoosh!
Boom!
With each swing of my tail, the encroaching beasts exploded.
It was the result of my attack power combined with the Ditrodon’s antics.
Their blood splattered everywhere.
My black scales turned red.
The beasts, desperate to catch .
And the Ditrodon, narrowly evading my attack through their sacrifices.
It placed both legs firmly on the ground.
I activated my Dash.
The wind surged around my body.
Using the technique of Dragon’s Leap, I leaped toward it.
There was no way any beast could react to my suddenly increased speed.
Though I had significantly increased in size due to my repeated evolution, my essence still lay in speed.
As I extended my front claw...
Ka-crack!
The Ditrodon barely managed to block it with its foreleg.
Its claws were tougher than I had expected.
Indeed, it was an opponent that shouldn’t be underestimated based on appearance alone.
Ka-crack!
Our claws clashed in a contest of strength, but the Ditrodon clearly had its limits.
One of its arms was deford and unnaturally short.
Even if it could use Dragon’s Breath, it could only do so with one hand.
In contrast, I could use both hands.
Swish.
Ka-crack!
I crossed both hands at a single point and pressed the attack.
“Grrr…”
Ka-crack-crack…
There was no way it could catch my Dragon’s Breath with one arm.
Creeeeak...
The Ditrodon was pushed back helplessly by my power.
The flow of battle felt quite favorable.
After pressing the advantage like this, I could finish it off with a powerful technique…
Swoosh.
Boom!
Suddenly, blood gushed from my body.
The beasts that held my foot shouldn’t have been able to deal this much damage.
The Ditrodon’s left hand was occupied, blocking my path.
To attack , it would have to use its abnormally short right arm.
And that short arm shouldn’t have been able to inflict this level of damage.
Swish.
I quickly retreated.
If I didn’t figure out the cause, I’d be caught off guard again.
“Kee-kee-kee…”
The Ditrodon grinned wickedly.
And my blood stained its crest.
Only then did I realize.
Its crest wasn’t just decoration.
It was a massive sword made of steel.
It had swung the crest with its short arm.
Thud.
Drip.
Drops of blood fell.
The wound wasn’t shallow.
This one injury wouldn’t be enough to put in danger, but it had created a significant gap in my defenses.
With that, the beasts that were simply charging at could now land effective hits.
“Kee-kee-kee!”
Despite having injured , the Ditrodon didn’t continue its assault.
It simply commanded the beasts that were closing in.
I needed to change my strategy.
With a gap in my defenses, I could no longer afford to ignore their attacks.
Boom!
Bang!
Once again, a Terror Bird’s body exploded.
The fragnts hit my wound.
Ssss...
I felt a jolt of pain strong enough to make almost kneel.
It wasn’t like poison.
I had the White Venom Resistance.
Those shattered pieces were tearing into my wounds with incredible sharpness.
“Grrr…”
The sudden pain made falter.
“Grah!”
The opponent seized the opportunity to strike.
The Sabertooth’s massive fangs targeted my leg.
Even if I were unhard, that would still pose a danger.
I had to attack or dodge before it landed.
But right now, I had no ti to counterattack.
Swish!
I dodged to the side, but a gatherium appeared as if it had been waiting for .
“Graaaar!”
Boom!
It slamd down with its powerful foreleg.
Boom!
The shock reverberated in my head.
I clenched my teeth hard.
If I set my mind to it, I could easily clear these beasts away.
Using Scale of Rage or Dragon’s Blood would do the trick.
But that wouldn’t be a fundantal solution.
Killing these beasts wouldn’t help escape this place.
I needed to kill the Ditrodon controlling them.
Otherwise, no matter how many I killed, more would keep coming.
I’d only be depleting my resources, and if that continued, I would ultimately lose.
It was ti to make a decisive move.
There was no benefit in stalling.
I gathered strength in my hind legs and protected my head with my foreleg.
I took a step forward, enduring the gatherium’s onslaught.
Boom!
I absorbed the attack of a charging Terror Bird from the side and took another step.
Ka-crack!
A Sabertooth bit into my hind leg, but I ignored it and took another step.
I weathered the attacks from the pack of Deinonychus as I moved forward.
Blood dripped from my body.
Bang!
I was already in a favorable position.
Still, the Ditrodon remained watching from a distance.
It was an enemy intelligent enough to hold its ground until it was certain of its victory.
This was definitely not an easy opponent.
I steadied my breath.
[Using “Scale of Rage Lv1.”]
But even holding my ground was the wrong decision.
The Ditrodon stood there observing.
I continued to move forward, enduring its attacks.
[Temporarily acquiring “Reverse Eruption Technique.”]
Right now, I was on the verge of a breakthrough.
A breakthrough ant that my dantian had opened.
The difference between a top-tier skill and a breakthrough was literally like heaven and earth.
The value of opening the dantian was significant.
And for , this opening held even greater aning.
The powers of nurous elixirs I hadn’t been able to manage with a single dantian.
Now, by operating two dantians, I could finally harness that power.
Whirrrr.
Thus, the energy I released was on a level that surpassed anything from before.
Boom!
The beasts attacking were all forced to the ground.
Even the Ditrodon couldn’t escape the effects of my Reverse Eruption Technique.
Of course, maintaining this technique while moving was no easy feat for either.
But I could manage one attack at least.
With a step.
Thud.
With a boom.
With a step.
Boom!
Like the figure Baek Yeon-Yeong had shown , just walking was enough to make the earth tremble.
Now, the distance was sufficient.
The claws of a dragon, imbued with strong energy, swung toward it.
Boom!
“Graaah!”
The Ditrodon scread as its body was crushed.
This wasn’t the end for .
Dragon’s Breath, the technique of grabbing my opponent with claws like a dragon’s.
Crunch.
I grabbed its left arm with my strong hand.
Crack!
My claws dug into its thick skin.
“Keee!”
Now, all that was left was to pull.
Crack-crack-crack!
“Graaah!”
The Ditrodon writhed in agony.
The mont the effects of Reverse Eruption Technique faded, the other beasts rushed at , but I didn’t care anymore.
The Ditrodon, with one arm severed, was no longer my match.
It would die on its own if I left it alone.
Of course, I had no intention of just watching.
Who knew what kind of tricks it might pull?
I chased after the creature trying to roll away.
Swish!
“Grah, graah!”
It scread as it fled.
I swung my claws, aiming for a final strike.
Swoosh!
My swung claw rebounded.
【Ditrodon Lv55】
What had blocked my attack was another Ditrodon.
Not one, but two.
They hadn’t charged in from the beginning, but now they had joined the fray?
That didn’t matter.
This one was just
as weak as the one-ard Ditrodon.
It had the sa short arm and single eye.
The only difference was that it was on the opposite side.
If the original Ditrodon had a deford right arm, this one had a deford left arm.
It looked like a mirror image.
Having one more wasn’t surprising, but it wouldn’t pose a major problem.
“Grah, graah!”
The one-ard Ditrodon extended its right arm.
The newly appeared Ditrodon extended its left arm.
In that mont, their short arms connected.
Smash!
The Ditrodons locked their arms together tightly.
What on earth were they trying to do?
The atmosphere felt ominous.
After taking care of the Sabertooth blocking my way, I dashed toward them.
Bang-bang!
The Ditrodon’s sharp, steel-like crest moved.
It fluttered like a butterfly.
Swoosh.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The crest was constantly moving.
Since their bodies were connected, it looked like they had wings.
No.
They were literally wings.
The Ditrodon was flying.
I couldn’t process the situation imdiately.
It was such a shocking sight.
“Grrr!”
An unbelievable thing happened.
The creature was no ordinary Ditrodon.
It was a spirit said to need a partner to fly.
A Winged Bird.
“Craaak!”
That was its true identity.
