“Roar!”

Suddenly, a roar exploded! The Black Scale Lizardfolk chieftain, having noticed Su Nan’s threat, decided to eliminate this human with the strange powers first. However, before he could act, Kei intercepted him.

“Lizard head, I’m your opponent!”

Kei sneered, swinging his sword in a powerful strike. The strength of a peak knight combined with the enhancement from the Brute Force Potion caused a piercing air-splitting roar as he slashed. The Black Scale Lizardfolk chieftain’s pupils constricted in fear, and he dared not clash directly, hastily dodging backward, but in doing so, he also lost the opportunity to approach Su Nan.

“Gii-lu-waa-gii…”

The Black Scale Lizardfolk chieftain uttered a strange, ear-piercing sound. Kei dismissed it as a frustrated curse and was about to continue his assault when he suddenly sensed something was wrong. He abruptly turned towards Su Nan.

A colossal black shadow, appearing from the rear of the battlefield, was rapidly charging towards Su Nan.

Bred noticed the shadow first. He abruptly turned, shouted in anger, and raised his Blackstone Iron Shield, colliding with the incoming shadow!

Boom!

Amidst the deafening sound, Bred flew out like a broken kite. The black shadow only took a few steps back, shook its head, and recovered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Nan also saw the true form of the shadow. It was a lizard, about eight meters long, its entire body covered in cold, hard, black and red scales.

“I didn’t expect these lizard heads to play this kind of feint attack.”

Su Nan scoffed, his face showing no sign of panic. He had discovered this monster earlier than Kei and Bred and had already prepared his spell. He immediately cast a Sleep Curse.

This giant lizard had clearly awakened its Dragon Lizard bloodline. It could easily knock back Bred, who had consumed a Brute Force Potion, in a physical confrontation. Its combat power was probably already at the peak knight level. Acid splashing would likely not cause much harm to it, and might even provoke its aggression. Therefore, Su Nan decisively opted for the Sleep Curse.

The giant lizard about to charge suddenly shook its head as if it were drunk, swaying back and forth in place.

“I have to say, it’s indeed a different bloodline. Even the Sleep Curse can’t completely subdue it.”

Su Nan twitched the corner of his mouth, but he didn’t hesitate. He pulled out a Level 1 Summoning Technique spell scroll and activated it in an instant.

In a flash, a shining six-pointed star formation appeared on the ground a few meters ahead. As the light flickered, a creature emerged from thin air, barely resembling a humanoid figure. It was no more than a meter tall, enveloped in burning flames, and it opened its mouth, letting out a childlike, clear, and joyful laugh.

“A Fire Child? Good fortune indeed.”

A smile appeared on Su Nan’s lips.

Summoning Technique, as the name implies, can summon creatures from other worlds to obey the caster’s commands and assist in battle. The summoned creatures’ strengths depend on the spell level, the caster’s spiritual power, and luck.

Level 1 Summoning Technique can summon creatures from other worlds with a strength level roughly between intermediate knight and beginner Grand Knight. Fire Children are creatures from the Fire Elemental Plane, with a combat strength roughly equivalent to a peak knight.

While he didn’t manage to summon a creature at the upper limit of beginner Grand Knight, a peak knight-level creature from another world was already quite impressive.

Under Su Nan’s orders, the Fire Child let out a cheer and rushed towards the giant lizard, which was still not fully awake, and hugged it.

Almost instantly, the scales of the giant lizard that came into contact with the Fire Child softened and shrunk, turning into charcoal. The intense flames ignited, scorching the flesh underneath, sizzling.

The excruciating pain instantly dispelled the remaining effects of the Sleep Curse on the giant lizard. It let out a deafening, mournful scream. It abruptly swung its massive body, rolling quickly on the ground, putting out the flames while escaping from the Fire Child. Then, it opened its blood-filled maw full of sharp teeth and ferociously bit at the Fire Child.

However, physical attacks had limited effect on the Fire Child, an elemental creature. The sharp teeth passed straight through the Fire Child’s body, causing little harm. Instead, the giant lizard itself was burned in its mouth by the flames, roaring in pain.

The Fire Child laughed cheerfully, reaching out with its arms and charging again.

Burning and Flame灵气!

These were the two abilities possessed by the Fire Child. The former could inflict intense fire damage on any creature touched by the Fire Child, even metal would melt into slag. The latter allowed the Fire Child to continuously emit high-temperature rays, and all creatures within a ten-meter radius of the Fire Child would continuously suffer from second-tier scorching damage.

In simpler terms, the Fire Child was a walking source of high heat. Unless equipped with magic items that can isolate high heat, anyone who got close would face constant fire burns.

The giant lizard clearly lacked the means to counter the Fire Child. Its scales could not withstand the intense flames. Under the Fire Child’s pursuit, the giant lizard could only flee in a sorry state, completely lacking the fierce and formidable aura it had when it first appeared.

Bred, having recovered, had just managed to climb to his feet. As he looked up, he saw this scene and instantly froze with wide eyes.

What kind of monster is that? It can actually suppress that terrifying giant lizard!

Not far away, Kei sighed in relief, secretly marveling in his heart. As expected of Su Nan, his tactics were endless.

To choose him as a target for a sneak attack was truly the wrong decision.

“Hee-hee-hee.”

The joyful laughter intertwined with the screams of pain, echoing through the battlefield. Despite trying its best to dodge and avoid direct contact with the Fire Child, the Flame灵气 emitted by the Fire Child also caused the giant lizard unbearable agony.

Within a short while, the giant lizard’s body could no longer be found with a single intact scale. It was covered with appalling burn marks.

After extinguishing the flames on its body once more, the giant lizard finally couldn’t take it anymore. It rushed to a spot not far from Su Nan, lay down on the ground, and kept shaking its head up and down. Its amber vertical pupils revealed a human-like plea, as if it were begging for mercy.

“It’s quite intelligent.”

Su Nan chuckled in amazement. Rarely encountering such a rare species, he didn’t want to kill it just like that. He stopped the Fire Child’s pursuit and casually cast a Sleep Curse.

Severely wounded, the giant lizard could no longer resist the effects of the Sleep Curse. Its eyelids fluttered a few times before falling into a deep slumber.

Out of caution, Su Nan didn’t stop there. He patted the Blackrock Beast beside him and told it to suppress the giant lizard. Then, he extended his hand and pressed it against the giant lizard’s body, releasing a Fatigue Touch to drain the giant lizard’s energy, ensuring that this behemoth was completely out of combat.

Only after doing all this, did he confidently shift his focus away from the giant lizard, turning his head towards the battlefield.

In that instant, all the surviving Black Scale Lizardfolk felt a chill run down their spines.

Under their horrified gazes, the fearsome Fire Child rushed towards them with a joyful cheer.
