Compared to Ivan, the pure black dragon that Nicholas II transformed into was much smaller.
When the wings are spread to their maximum, the wingspan is only about six meters. When standing on the ground, the highest point is less than three meters from the ground... which is about the height of a general indoor ceiling. You can shrink in the room by lowering your head.
Degree
It's not even as tall as the previous "Baboon Demon Spirit".
This is because the dragon that Ivan turned into... was the frost-scaled dragon that turned into "after Annan died at this moment".
When the people of the Frost Whisperer die, they may turn into frost-scaled dragons due to the effect of the "Heart of Winter".
Generally speaking, the size of the dragon they turned into was closely related to their age before death.
Annan is only fifteen years old this year. The "Dragon in the Lake" projected by Nicholas II using Annan's body may not even be a "young dragon" considering the dragon's age.
"——Frost Scale Dragon."
Nicholas II spoke in a low dragon language: "It's really good. The dragon's body... is so strong and healthy, with seemingly endless vitality, and the frost elements rushing in the blood... it is indeed the most noble creature.
"
But obviously, Nicholas is very satisfied with this body.
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly: "My reflection..."
This is a gold-level transformation spell, [Forbidden Refining: Reflection Body].
Its name in ancient times was called "Legendary Biological Mirror Technique".
Annan knew this spell because Salvatore had told him about it before the duel with the Spirit-bearing Monk.
Among the taboo refinements, the most taboo is not "refining the human body" but "self-refinement".
It is not the "transformation" of the plastic school, but an irreversible transformation spell of the transformation school.
By actively destroying one's old body, one undergoes "posthumous refining" on oneself. One of the essences of existence of a designated target is projected onto one's own corpse...so that one can obtain the other person's mirror image body and be reborn immediately.
Even for a wizard, this is an extremely extreme fighting method.
As long as the spell casting fails, it is equivalent to committing suicide on the spot. Because you must be sure that you are dead before the transformation spell can take effect... So you may die more thoroughly than others who kill yourself.
I am afraid that only wizards who are proficient in the idol school and possess the "resurrection ability" dare to use this method... using their own bodies as transformation materials to transform themselves into "enemies".
It is obviously impossible for Nicholas II to have this ability.
He really wanted to resist the [Silver Flame Bombardment], but it wasn't actually difficult.
You only need to burn your soul and consume the power of your elements to avoid this attack by hiding under the noble disguise.
But Nicholas II did not want to use this more conservative method.
He would rather commit suicide directly in the fire than admit that he was at a disadvantage and his trump card was used up.
In other words, he would rather bet on the dog than lose resources.
Treat the attacks you are enduring that are enough to destroy you as part of your "refinement".
Like flames burning copper and stone——
Like burning "ore", he destroyed his body in the fire without hesitation.
At the moment when the flames stopped, using the concept of "calcining", the old body was compared to ore, and the new body was compared to red copper.
The moment the flame stops, it is "finished" and comes back to life.
And Nicholas II obviously believed that among Annan's many concepts... only the "dragon species" characteristic was the most powerful.
Therefore, he did not become the glorious form he is today, nor did he borrow Annan's Heart of Winter, nor did he even change into a posture related to the sky wheel...
...Absolute elitism?
Annan sneered silently.
This is indeed quite in line with Nicholas II's aesthetics.
He considers himself "the supreme being".
Compared with humans, elves are a nobler and more perfect race. The elves also have a tradition of worshiping dragons, and they respect dragons more than gods.
That's why Nicholas II believed that if he could transform into a dragon - even if it was just a false dragon, he would be on the path to greatness. The previous body was just the residue after "calcining".
But maybe Nicholas II didn't know.
Not counting friendly forces for now - after all, there are special cases from the Kingdom of Light.
But for BOSS, "giant transformation" is an immediate death flag in most cases...
Facing the giant dragon with scales like coal, Annan struck again in the air.
The crystal-like shining sword marks flashed through the air, leaving behind a string of frost marks frozen in the air.
It's as if time has stopped because of this.
The Dragon of Reflection just raised its head and took a deep breath.
The dim red dragon's breath dyed the air in front of it instantly - like a dark red rose, silently blooming in the air.
The moment the sword mark hit the "rose", the invisible crimson brilliance suddenly escaped, catching the sword without any sound.
The crystal sword mark, which seemed to be able to freeze space and time, was instead soaked in the dragon's breath and dyed a magnificent crystal red bit by bit from bottom to top.
——Is this the power of elements?
Annan was a little surprised.
But Nicholas II has clearly not deployed his noble persona yet... Or is his noble persona more special? Will Annan be able to ignore its existence involuntarily?
Annan thought about it and turned to the side without hesitation.
Prevent the "backward flow" crystal red unknown elements from spreading to yourself.
The next moment, he raised the lightsaber with half its length in front of him.
As the light wings behind Annan suddenly unfolded, he fell downwards at a rapid speed——
After Nicholas II breathed out the first breath of dragon in his life, he got used to the body of the dragon for a while, and then chanted again:
"[The Hummingbird of the Left]."
As his voice fell, the dark scales on his body fell off one after another.
Each scale turned into a dark blue living flame, like feathers flying upside down, like a counterattacking meteor, facing Annan from the bottom up!
Each living flame is a high temperature that can instantly burn through the dragon's scales.
Annan's figure suddenly changed - the dense mist around him burst out with light, leaving an "afterimage" every time he suddenly changed his flight path.
But that is not an afterimage that only remains in the retina.
It is an extremely real "crystal stand-in".
This is an ability that Annan has just mastered.
The combination of the power of "Glory" and "Frost" will leave a light-emitting substitute in place every time Annan evades backwards or to the side. And only when the substitute is crushed, Annan will
The new location will be exposed.
Those dark blue living flames would be misled every time. After dodging three times, Annan was already close to directly above Nicholas II.
Although Nicholas II had wings, he was still crawling on the ground.
Because he had just obtained the dragon form, he did not dare to fly in front of Annan - after all, "flying" was still a quite unfamiliar field to him.
So when the players arrived at the Blood Butterfly Valley out of breath, they saw an unforgettable spectacle:
Annan only has tentacle-like wings of light behind him, but he flies in the air and maneuvers at high speeds like the Valkyrie; he is obviously a legal profession, but he is holding a thin silver lightsaber that is more like a lance - and has a thick
Powerful wings, but still refused to fly, the down-to-earth black giant... the young dragon fought in close quarters.
Nicholas II caught this immediately.
While he is extremely arrogant, he is also very cautious.
When he saw reinforcements appearing on Annan's side... Nicholas II's first reaction was to prevent them from joining the battlefield.
Even if they are just a group of silvers.
"[The disaster of the earth], [The corolla of the sky]..."
Nicholas II began to sing in a low voice.
After Annan feinted with "a shot", he quickly evacuated backwards - then suddenly fell down, and the spear of light pierced the dragon's shoulder blade, almost gouging out Nicholas II's right wing!
But Nicholas II managed to withstand the blow, but still stubbornly chanted: "[Devil's Blood], [Soul of the Innocent], [Cat's Footsteps], [Fish's Breath]..."
A hint of deceit flashed through its dragon eyes.
Capturing that trace of malicious intent, Annan didn't realize what it was, but he suddenly felt an extremely strong, almost fatal sense of crisis.
Although I don’t know what it is...but for such a long chant, it would be safer to step back for the time being.
So Annan did not hesitate. After leaving a phantom behind, he immediately drew his gun and retreated.
At this time, the dragon's chant was finally close to completion:
"——[The poisonous dust of the triple great Hermes]."
