Lava flows at temperatures of over a thousand degrees Celsius spewed out of the massive maw of the Lava Dominator, the dazzling crimson light illuminating Minori's vision! The terrifying heatwave crashed over him in an instant.
Rumble!
The crimson lava transformed into a massive wave soaring into the sky.
"Seventh-Order Magic · Chain Water Dragon!" Minori's eyes narrowed, and he uttered a low incantation.
To deal with such a move, magics of other attributes were clearly unsuitable; such a lava attack would inevitably explode upon colliding with magics of other attributes.
At that time, the splashing lava would pose a greater threat to Minori.
The surging water quickly condensed, and in such a high-temperature environment, it easily formed thick streams of water around Minori, encircling his body.
Bang!
They suddenly shot out from between Minori's arms, transforming into two enormous water dragons in the air, colliding with the red lava.
Pfft—
The instant the two attacks collided, they stirred up a large amount of white steam and mist, and the overwhelming lava was easily dispersed by the two water dragons.
The surrounding air was dispersed by the two astonishing forces, forming an invisible gale of heat that spread in all directions.
Wherever the water dragons passed, they rapidly cooled the high temperature emitted by the lava, and large patches of lava solidified into chunks of brownish-black lava rubble, scattering in mid-air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
These rubble fragments scattered, smashing onto the surrounding ground and rock walls, emitting dull, dense thuds!
Boom!
After dispersing the crimson lava, the Chain Water Dragon once again crashed into the Lava Dominator's massive body.
"Aow…" The Lava Dominator let out a miserable shriek, rolling twice on the ground before collapsing powerlessly.
The thick fog produced by the collision of the water attribute attack and the lava enveloped the entire area, obscuring Minori's vision.
Looking at the blackish-gray fog billowing in all directions like dust, filled with the pungent smell of sulfur,
Minori's eyes flashed, and he raised his palm, aiming it forward: "Third-Order Magic · Wind Orb!"
Using the [Mad Mage]'s attribute conversion, he transformed the lightning attribute "Lightning Orb" into a wind attribute attack.
Whoosh!
Light blue airflow surged from the surroundings, gathering in Minori's palm, and rapidly expanding, forming a rotating airflow the size of two basketballs.
Buzz— Buzz—
If one observed carefully, they could notice that the airflow around the orb emitted slight, dense buzzing sounds, like invisible wind blades constantly cutting the surrounding air!
Minori pushed his palm forward.
The wind orb smashed into the gray fog, and then rapidly expanded, instantly dispelling the fog that obscured his vision.
In the distance.
The Lava Dominator's massive body reappeared in his sight.
The opponent was lying motionless on the ground, with a several-meter-sized pit and depression in the position of its somewhat flattened head, obviously the heavy injuries caused by the Chain Water Dragon's bombardment earlier.
From a distance, it looked like it had completely lost its breath.
"After suffering three consecutive Seventh-Order Magic bombardments, it still has a breath left." Minori naturally wouldn't believe that the Lava Dominator was dead; no creature could feign death in front of him.
After all, experience points can't be faked!
A cold glint flashed in Minori's eyes, and he raised his arm, making a grasping motion in the air: "Holy Javelin!"
Whoosh!
A touch of sacred white light emerged.
The next moment.
A massive war spear over three meters long appeared in his hand, the spearhead especially huge, flashing a cold, terrifying metallic luster under the reflection of the red light in this area.
The Holy Javelin shimmered with white light, a light that was not gentle, but instead filled with a strong, dazzling sensation.
There was no need for Minori to make a throwing motion.
The Holy Javelin instantly flashed in mid-air, transforming into a streak of intense light and shooting towards the Lava Dominator.
"Holy Javelin" possessed the special ability to consume a certain amount of magic power to produce a guaranteed hit effect, but the current situation obviously didn't require using that ability.
Whoosh!
The Purity Javelin almost instantly pierced directly into the Lava Dominator's head, the seemingly hard red scales as if they didn't exist at all.
Boom!
The entire three-meter-long spear was submerged, shooting into the Lava Dominator's head.
"Aow!!"
The Lava Dominator, which had originally seemed to have lost its breath, struggled to raise its head, letting out a painful howl, its entire body trembling non-stop.
The heavily dented, blood-soaked head lifted.
The crimson fish eyes looked towards Minori's location, opening its mouth and emitting a visible, crimson sound wave filled with resentment.
"Scorching Sonic Wave"!
Buzz—
The surrounding air seemed to be ignited, and wherever the red sound wave passed, one could visibly see the entire air surging in all directions like waves.
"This is… a range attack." Minori's eyes narrowed, and he quickly retreated, but the attack's speed was too fast, far beyond imagination, and it arrived in front of him almost in the blink of an eye.
Fire attribute + sonic wave attribute attack?
The thought flashed through Minori's mind in an instant, and he released the "Valkyrie's" class skill almost without hesitation.
"Holy Impact Shield!"
Rumble!
Black energy shockwaves spread out from Minori as the center, forming an invisible force field that diffused around him, creating an all-around defense.
The two forces collided, and the seemingly astonishingly hot sonic wave dissolved like snowflakes in the sunlight, dissipating silently.
Buzz—
Information on the attribute panel appeared.
'Experience gained: 779893'
[Experience Bar 2660668/260000]
Seeing the Lava Dominator completely die after releasing its attack, Minori breathed a sigh of relief.
"It still wanted to launch a sneak attack before dying; these high-level magical creatures really can't be underestimated; luckily, I specifically saved an 'Holy Impact Shield'."
Minori spoke softly; the speed of the attack just now startled him, and there were no prompts on the attribute panel.
This indicated that the ability the Lava Dominator used should be a skill it possessed innately.
The fire attribute sonic wave attack just now was very powerful; he estimated it was at least at the Fifth-Order Magic level.
"Holy Impact Shield" was powerful, but it could only be used twice a day after all.
"Perhaps I should also get some defensive magic and skills." The thought flashed through Minori's mind, and he looked up at the attribute panel.
His experience points had already exceeded two million, but currently, whether it was the [Genius] class or the [Shaman Mentor] class, Minori had no intention of leveling up.
He didn't have any other classes he could upgrade either, so he couldn't use so much experience for the time being.
This gave Minori a feeling of sudden wealth.
Hmm?
Minori scanned the "Ability List" and suddenly noticed that there were two more passives in the passive abilities, inexplicably.
"Fire Attribute Resistance (1%)"
"Poison Attribute · Weak Resistance"
This is…
Minori was somewhat stunned, wondering how the two passives appeared.
He neither gained a new class, nor did he acquire any special skills; under normal circumstances, "Passives" couldn't appear out of thin air.
Minori suddenly thought of something and quickly lowered his head to check his skin.
He saw that the large patches of red marks on the originally exposed skin of his arms and other parts had completely disappeared.
The locations of these red marks were all places where dragon blood had been stained; now that the red marks had disappeared, did it mean that the dragon blood had been absorbed by his skin?
That's why these two passive effects appeared?
Minori couldn't be sure for a moment, but it seemed like this was the only possibility at the moment.
Before, the MP value increased by one point, and now there were two more passives.
The effect of dragon blood is so strong?
Minori felt a little unbelievable, but soon, he retreated from his somewhat surprised emotions and quickly raised his head to look in the direction of the Lava Dominator.
Now was not the time to think about the dragon blood problem!
Whoosh!
Minori moved his feet and quickly rushed to the Lava Dominator's massive corpse.
An illusory, equally massive soul slowly rose from the Lava Dominator's body, appearing in Minori's vision.
His chin lifted.
It was the first time Minori had seen such a huge soul, and he subconsciously moved his throat.
The Ancient Fire Dragon couldn't be affected by the "Totem Possession" ability because it belonged to the special dragon race, not a beast or magical beast.
And the Lava Dominator was clearly a magical beast.
Only!
The Lava Dominator's level was too high, and coupled with such a massive soul image, Minori suddenly suspected whether his skill could absorb the Lava Dominator's soul.
"Totem Possession"
"Become my power, Lava Dominator!"
Minori stared at the massive and illusory soul, letting out a low shout.
Boom!
A emerald green light flashed from Minori's body, and the soul, which was originally quietly suspended in the sky above the Lava Dominator's corpse, suddenly began to vibrate.
'Skill effect activated, please select the location for possession'
...
Head (Empty)
Chest (Empty)
Arm (Forest Sage King · Physical Defense +50)
Back (Empty)
Thigh (Empty)
...
Information on the attribute panel quickly scrolled past.
After a brief moment of thought, Minori silently said in his heart: "Chest."
Whoosh—
The emerald green light that was originally flashing all over Minori's body suddenly rapidly gathered towards his chest, forming an even more dazzling emerald green light.
The soul of the Lava Dominator, suspended in mid-air, was immediately guided by this force, surging towards Minori's direction.
The moment such a massive soul came into contact with the moonlight emanating from Minori's body, it began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, rapidly being sucked into the chest position.
Under Minori's intentional control, a simple totem in the shape of a fist-sized Lava Dominator appeared on the right side of his chest.
Immediately afterwards.
Minori felt as if the Lava Dominator's totem emitted a gentle heat, surging throughout his body, and then quickly dissipating.
'Totem Possession successful—please select physical enhancement or feat acquisition'
At the same time.
Minori's eyes swept over the [Attribute List] on the attribute panel, and he immediately observed that his HP had increased.
Chest (Lava Dominator · HP+50)
"Last time, Forest Sage King Cangzhu increased physical defense, also by 50 points; this time, the Lava Dominator increased HP, also by 50 points."
"Sure enough, the maximum value that this skill can increase is 50 points."
Minori looked at the information on the attribute panel, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes, and at the same time, he silently recited in his heart: "Feat Acquisition!"
'Choose one of the following abilities to fix; once selected, it cannot be changed. Please choose an ability that is compatible with your own race, class, and characteristics, otherwise, there will be weakening or inability to use the phenomenon:
①: Flame Vision
②: Resilience
③: Lure Grasp
④: Sharp Teeth
⑤: Bite Enhancement
⑥: Flame Stealth
...
②⑥: Lava Shield
②⑦: Lava Impact
Please make a choice'
Seeing the nearly 30 abilities that suddenly appeared, Minori couldn't help but blink his eyes, taking a deep breath.
He knew that he was able to easily defeat the Lava Dominator because he took advantage of the Lava Dominator's disadvantage of not being able to move freely on land.
After reading the abilities that the Lava Dominator displayed.
Minori realized that he had taken a big advantage; the opponent was actually best at close combat, especially various means of manipulating lava.
In the magma sea, the Lava Dominator could fully exert all its strength, instead of being killed by Minori using ranged attack methods on land while unable to move.
Among these abilities, Minori was not only interested in one or two.
However, many abilities.
Were obviously related to the Lava Dominator's own race, such as "Lure Grasp".
Even if Minori chose this ability, he probably wouldn't be able to use it; sorting through numerous abilities, Minori quickly found the feat he really wanted.
"Select 'Fire Attribute Attack Nullification'"
'Feat selection successful!'
Minori's body shook, and a fiery red light suddenly appeared all over his body, then disappeared again.
The originally scorching high temperature of the lava area.
At this moment.
In Minori's perception, the heat waves that occasionally surged from the direction of the magma sea, causing people to sweat profusely.
Were like ordinary breezes, not making Minori feel any heat at all, but instead blowing on his body, giving Minori a sense of comfort.
"It's a success!"
"This kind of attribute resistance really didn't show any degradation phenomenon like the last time I acquired 'Physical Armor'."
Looking at the additional passive on the attribute panel, a look of joy appeared on Minori's face.
With the appearance of "Fire Attribute Attack Nullification", the effect of "Fire Attribute Resistance (1%)" that seemed to be produced by the dragon blood disappeared.
Minori put away the smile on his face, walked to the massive corpse of the Lava Dominator, raised his hand and waved, and put it into the item box.
He raised his head and looked at the churning magma sea in the distance.
A thought suddenly flashed through Minori's mind, and he raised his feet, walking step by step towards the center of the lava area.
As he got closer and closer to the magma sea, the surrounding temperature became higher and higher, and the crimson flame light also became more dazzling.
However, all of this!
Had no effect on Minori at this moment.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, the clothes on his body were ignited by the high temperature, turning Minori into a fireball in an instant; after a moment, the flames dissipated.
The unharmed, naked Minori had already walked to the edge of the magma sea.
"I can't feel any heat damage at all; just one resistance has such a strong ability; it's really incredible."
Minori raised his arm, sensing the gentle feeling coming from the skin of his whole body, and a look of amazement appeared on his face.
There were no other creatures in the entire lava area, and Minori didn't feel embarrassed in his current state.
Looking at the churning crimson lava below.
Minori moved his feet and jumped down from the towering shore.
With a "plop"!
Minori quickly sank into the surging lava below, and there was no movement for a while.
After about three or four minutes.
The crimson, scalding lava churned.
Poof!
Minori, with a bright smile on his face, emerged from the fluid lava, and streams of fiery lava slid down his skin, not leaving even a trace of red marks on his skin.
"This feeling is really good!" Minori raised his arm and smashed it against the lava in front of him, splashing a large amount of lava spray, and laughed loudly.
