Chapter 264 - 262: Unparalleled in Mowing Down Enemies
Leon could, of course, ignore those skeletons and focus solely on attacking Suosys. However, as a spellcaster, Suosys wouldn’t foolishly stand still for Leon to strike him. He would hide among the skeleton warriors, perched atop the shoulders of the Skull Giant.
The skeleton warriors and skull cavalry summoned by Suosys from beneath the desert sands were stronger than ordinary skeletons. Yet, no matter how strong ants become, they are still ants. However, the principle of overwhelming numbers remains—if the ants are many enough, even an elephant can be brought down. These skeletons were truly like ants: fearless, never retreating even if many of them were destroyed.
The skeleton warriors and skull cavalry weren’t particularly intimidating, but those catapults that used screaming skulls as ammunition were certainly not to be underestimated. The Skull Giants were no weaker than young dragons, but thankfully their numbers were few. Of the four dragons, only Leon, with his Vajra Body, could ignore their attacks. The others needed to be cautious.
For Leon, whether it was Tassera, Cecilia, or Salovis, all of them were important to him and could not be lost. To lose even one of them would mean failure. So he thought it best to simply "send them away"—after all, they couldn’t provide much help and might even get in his way—in order to seize the chance to test his Three Heads and Six Arms transformation.
Activating the Vajra Body and unlocking Three Heads and Six Arms, his mana consumption started ramping up noticeably.
Not a second was to be wasted. Before the three-headed dragon could even fly far, Leon was already swinging his weapons, unleashing a massacre. With a single horizontal slash, he smashed through a dozen skeleton warriors.
It was outrageous enough for a red dragon to wield a sword, but a red dragon with Three Heads and Six Arms swinging six swords? Even the most experienced or well-traveled individuals had never seen such a sight, nor had they ever heard of it. Suosys was no exception. He exclaimed, "Are you a Marilith or a red dragon?"
"What do you think?" Leon retorted.
"What kind of spell is that?" As a top-tier spellcaster, Suosys could immediately tell that the red dragon’s transformation into a being with three heads and six arms was caused by a spell, even if he hadn’t seen the exact moment when the extra heads and arms appeared.
