Chapter 48. Dragonfire Desert IV
<span>Dragon King''s Harem Chapter 48. Dragonfire Desert IV
Minutes passed. As we got closer and closer to the Pyro Temple, the monsters were approaching more and more. Even I couldn''t handle them alone, so Eir and Evelina had to kill the monsters that were attacking them by themselves.
"Rrrooooaaaahhh!" A screeching sound of pain came out of a Xerus shaped monster thatnded hard on the sand after one of my zing Orbs managed to injure him, while my other orbs killed his friends.
He was as big as a van with his coarse fur, which was yellowish orange like the colour of the desert to blend himself with his surroundings easier, sharp ws and teethpleted his appearance.
[Name: Violent Xerus]
[Level 35]
[Type: Brute]
[Element: Earth]
[Speed: Normal]

[M.ATK: 27]
[DEF: 92]
[Skills: Sharp ws, Strong Jaws, Camouge]
Unwilling to give up, he leapt at me with his ws and mouth wide open, preparing to tear my body apart. But swiftly, I used my Mana Weapon. One of my Revolvers appeared in my hand. I aimed my weapon at his open mouth and pulled the trigger.
- Bang!
The bulletsunched right into his mouth and pierced his throat.
[Overkill!]
[You have shot a Violent Xerus for 483 HP] X 2
Fresh blood came out of his wound and the monster fell onto the sand.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[Level Up!] [Level Up!]
[You are now Level 39. HP +100, Mana + 40, ATK and MATK + 10, DEF and SPD +4]
[HP: 2150/2150] [Mana: 860/860]
[ATK: 240] [M.ATK: 240]
[SPD: 106] [DEF: 106]
<i>''Nice,'' </i>I thought. I needed to admit that Al''s Double EXP Potion really worked. Moreover, I used it in a ce with lots of monsters like this. My leg kicked my Yegaun''s side and we started moving slowly. Soon we would enter the red barrier protecting the temple so we had to be careful since it would rm the monsters that roam there. Since the monsters'' element would be fire, not earth like before, my zing Orbs would be less effective against them. Meanwhile, the earth element was also ineffective against fire element monsters, which meant ... I had to depend on my Mana Weapon again.
When the barrier was one meter in front of me, I pulled the reins and stopped. My eyes looked at the monsters around the temple and used my Analyze skill. There were three kinds of middle-level monsters.
The first monster was arge red Frilled Lizard. His back was covered in huge mes that raged like spikes on a hedgehog''s back. Likewise with his frill which was made of mes. His ck eyes popped out like a frog.
[Name: me Lizard]
[Level 46]
[Type: Brute]
[Element: Fire]
[Speed: Normal]
[HP: 680/680]
[Mana: 140/140]
[ATK: 366]
[M.ATK: 69]
[DEF: 120]
[Skills: Fire Spike, me Breath, Sharp ws]
The second monster was arge snake like the previous Ruthless Rattlesnake. What distinguished him was that his scales were covered in tiny fire sparks that enveloped his entire body. And his ears which were shaped like board maple leaves were reced by mes that fluttered in the wind. And a great fire was at the end of his tail.
[Name: Fire Rattlesnake]
[Level 50]
[Type: Brute]
[Element: Fire]
[Speed: Normal]
[HP: 740/740]
[Mana: 153/153]
[ATK: 400]
[M.ATK: 74]
[DEF: 126]
[Skills: me Tail, Poison Fangs, Fire Skin, Fire Rain]
The third monster was shaped like arge coyote with ckish red mes that reced his fur to cover his body. Large sharp teeth adorned his mouth and his ears turned here and there with great caution. Some of them had turned in our direction and watched us.
[Name: Firoyote]
[Level 51]
[Type: Brute]
[Element: Fire]
[Speed: Normal]
[HP: 751/751]
[Mana: 149/149]

[M.ATK: 72]
[DEF: 123]
[Skills: me Breath, Sharp ws, Fire Skin, Fire Rain]
Meanwhile, the other monsters were shaped like fiery rabbits or small, smouldering ck rock golems. I didn''t pay much attention to them since their level was below level 20, other than that there weren''t any special skills that would harm me.
My brain thought as my eyes looked at them.
"What are your ns, Your Majesty?" asked Eir who stopped his Yegaun by my side.
I didn''t answer. When we entered the barrier, they would storm at us so we had to move quickly.
"We will leave our Yegaun here and fly over there." My flying ability would be very useful for this. Since I could dodge easier.
"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Eir. Then we got off our mounts.
Evelina just silenced in a grim expression after hearing my words. But I knew what was on her mind, she couldn''t fly, so she had to walk. Of course, this would be hard for her. While another option was she had to stay and wait for us here. Despite this difficulty, she remained silent and had not said anything since she knew we had the advantages if we faced these monsters from above.
"Evelina, can you create a barrier for them?" I said. I needed to make sure our mounts didn''t be the other monsters'' food.
"Yes, Your Majesty," she said. Then she pointed her staff at our Yegaun and used her Mana Barrier. A transparent dome appeared and covered our mounts.
"Thank you." Then I turned towards the temple.
"Should we move now?" My wings appeared behind me as I recast my other skills.
<i>''Adrenaline Surge! Dragon Armor! ''</i>
Likewise with Eir.
But Evelina answered me by using her skills on me.
[Evelina Lavinia Iaoth gave you Power Boost!]
[Your ATK and MATK have increased by 100%]
[Evelina Lavinia Iaoth gave you elerate!]
[Your SPD has increased by 100%]
[Adrenaline Surge has been activated.]
[Dragon Armor has been activated.]
[Power Boost has been activated.]
[elerate has been activated.]
[ATK: 240 + 120+ 240]
[M.ATK: 240 + 120 +240]
[DEF: 106 + 53]
[SPD: 106 + 53 +106]
[Time remaining: 14:56]
"Go ahead, Your Majesty. I''ll stay here," said Evelina. Looks like she decided to stay there so she wouldn''t be a burden to me and Eir.
"What are you talking about?" I said with a frown. I walked over to her and pulled her into my arms with one hand. My eyes stared at her.
"You have toe with me," I said.
Evelina looked at me in hesitation.
"But--"
I interrupted her.
"Hang on!" Without further ado, I flicked my wings.
Evelina hugged my neck in reflex as her feet were getting away from the ground. The staff hovered near us following her.
"Yo-Your Majesty, I will be your burden," she said in a stammering voice. Her heart was pounding in nervousness. It was the king who took her to fly, it was a great honour for her. She knew she would be a burden since I couldn''t move my hands freely if I took her, but she couldn''t cover up her happiness.
I put my index finger on her lips.
"Shhh! Don''t underestimate me," I whispered. I had calcted everything that''s why I was doing this. I stopped in the mid-air and my gaze shifted forward.
"I want you to create a Mana Barrier when I ask you," I said.
"I understand." There was a sense of relief in her heart since at least she wasn''t a burden.
"Are you ready, Eir?" I shouted.
"I''m ready, Your Majesty," he said as he used his Frost Bolt. Several sharp chunks of ice appeared and floated around him, preparing to attack its enemies.
After I heard his answer, I used my Mana Weapon.
<i>''All Weapons!''</i>
My weapons appeared at my sides and floated in the air since I controlled them with my Telekic skill. While my Gauntlet covered my hands to my shoulders.
[7 Weapons are in your control. ]
Then we stormed at them.
