"Shwoosh——"
The Red Dragon dodged a slash from the curved sword, quickly changing direction and swinging its thick long tail fiercely at its opponent's face.
The air was torn apart once more.
And Cassius' tail, covered with bony spikes, struck the Fire Giant's face squarely, distorting his features.
Scorching, magma-like blood sprayed everywhere.
"Ah!"
"I'll kill you!"
With a crisp sound, the Fire Giant was sent flying dozens of meters away, letting out a wretched howl.
The Fire Giant was knocked out of the cloud formation, leaving only wisps of gray smoke around him.
"Huff, huff..."
Cassius submerged himself in the smoke, panting softly as he thought to himself, "A bit tricky, huh..."
Several scratches had appeared on the Red Dragon's chest and back, shattering dozens of incredibly tough scales, and even leaving a sizable tear in the left wing membrane.
The Fire Giant indeed deserved to be the natural ruler of the Fire Elemental Plane.
