“It seems you’re not entirely immune to magic!”
The Giant Ghost’s voice sounded very pleased.
“Then let’s try this: freezing ray! Increased effect!”
A chilly white beam shot out of the Giant Ghost’s hand, aiming naturally at Otto, who was trying to approach him.
This seemed like an advanced spell, and Otto did not want to be hit directly by it.
He twisted his massive body, abruptly stopping before the attack trajectory of the freezing ray, then quickly fluttered his dragon wings to rise into the sky, choosing to bypass the cold spell attack.
Even from several meters away, Otto could feel the extraordinary coldness, clearly his decision was correct.
“Did I miss?”
Otto demonstrated a speed and agility that did not match his size, making the Giant Ghost feel quite challenged.
But that didn’t mean he had no solution.
“Curved Lightning Skill! Dense casting!”
Under the Giant Ghost’s magical power, a large number of irregularly shaped, thick electric arcs appeared in front of Otto’s path, with an attack route that was hard to predict.
What was headache-inducing was that while there were many of them, their attack range was also astonishingly large.
Although it was difficult, it was not impossible to evade.
One could see Otto constantly changing his trajectory in the sky, trying to avoid the range of the lightning attack as much as possible. This seemed to be much simpler than dealing with the barrage of Magic Missiles.
Although the spell still had not been effective, the Giant Ghost revealed a triumphant smile. Ordinary ghosts could not achieve such changes in expression.
While casting the Curved Lightning Skill, he had already prepared a backup plan.
At this point, Otto was almost through the attack range of the Curved
Lightning Skill, with only a few remaining electric arcs in front of him.
As long as he could continue to pass through these lines of lightning, Otto would be able to get close to the Giant Ghost once again and scatter him. It seemed that Otto knew this, so his flying speed was also accelerating.
“Now is the time…”
With a sinister smile, the Giant Ghost channeled his magical power: “Electroball Skill! Transformative casting!”
Unlike the previous spell, the Electroball Skill that the Giant Ghost used this time was not summoned out of thin air, but rather transformed the large electric arcs from the wide-ranging Curved Lightning Skill into an astonishing number of electric balls.
Almost simultaneously, the distorted, thick electric arcs around Otto collapsed.
However, the terrifying magical power contained within them did not disappear, but quickly condensed into countless horrifying electric balls.
The number of these electric balls was even more terrifying than the previous Magic Missiles, and they appeared at various angles around Otto, completely surrounding him.
“Let’s see how you dodge this!”
Although the process was somewhat circuitous, the Giant Ghost ultimately lured the bizarre Silver Dragon into the trap, and his mood became quite good.
But soon, his smile froze on his face.
That’s because the bizarre Silver Dragon not far away did not fall, struck down by countless electric balls, as he imagined.
Instead, it was resisting the unavoidable attack in a strange way that he could not understand.
Under the Giant Ghost’s incredulous gaze, the bizarre Silver Dragon seemed to change species in an instant.
Yes, it was as if Otto had completely changed species. His strong, muscular body rapidly shrank and withered.
At the same time, the scales on his body began to expand in thickness and size at an astonishing rate.
Otto used his Self Proliferation ability, providing all his internal energy to his scale armor as much as possible.
As a result, he turned himself into a deformed monster wrapped in scale armor.
Now Otto didn’t look like a dragon at all, or even a normal creature.
Although it was extremely ugly, it was very effective.
The electric balls in the sky were attracted to the bizarre Otto as if they were iron sand attracted to a magnet.
“Boom…boom…”
Accompanied by a continuous burst of sound and thick smoke, the smoke spread around Otto as the center.
This made it impossible for the Giant Ghost to see what had happened inside.
Of course, there was also the smell of burnt flesh, but the undead had long lost their sense of smell and could not smell it at all.
“It should work…”
The Giant Ghost looked at the unclear smoke, and by common sense, this bizarre Silver Dragon should be in dire straits.
Keep in mind that with the intensity and density of those electric balls, even a grown dragon would suffer if hit.
Moreover, judging from the body size, this Silver Dragon could at best be considered a juvenile dragon.
However, there were always some accidents.
“Huh!”
The Giant Ghost only heard the sound of air being pierced, and then a Silver Dragon covered in scars rushed in front of him.
Just as before, the two dragon claws plunged into his body, and then this Silver Dragon breathed heavily and tore him in half.
But by now, Otto looked quite miserable.
Through Self Proliferation, he redistributed the energy that had been almost entirely devoted to his scale armor back to his original body parts.
Although Otto seemed to have not lost any important parts, it was almost impossible to find a complete scale on his body.
One could say it was a bloody mess, and although there were no wounds deep enough to see the bone, it seemed there was not much difference between him and the two adult dragons that had pure suicide.
But only Otto knew that his injuries were not actually that severe; it was just that his scales had been almost entirely shattered, making him look miserable.
More importantly, he had a powerful self-healing ability far beyond that of a troll. As long as he was willing, his injuries could heal in a short time.
But he didn’t do that; he only stopped the bleeding since healing also requires energy consumption.
Earlier, the proliferating scales had already consumed too much energy during the defense against the Electroballs. If he were to heal his wounds significantly at this time, he would not have the strength to fight the Giant Ghost.
Since he successfully stopped the bleeding, his Rotten Blood ability was also suppressed. This ability could sometimes become a burden if used improperly.
“Useless…”
The Giant Ghost quickly reassembled his body at the other end of the sky and sneered, “Although I’m not sure how you survived, just look at your miserable appearance now. Do you still think you can oppose me?”
Otto shook the bloodstains off his head and laughed with a relaxed tone, “What about you? Can you break through my defense in a short time?”
That’s right, Otto didn’t need to defeat this suddenly emerging Giant Ghost.
He just needed to buy time, and once Sofia resolved the trouble with the Magic Circle, all problems would be easily solved.
“I know you’re stalling for time…”
The Giant Ghost sneered, “But the thing is, it takes quite a bit of time to remotely control materials to set up teleportation gates too…”
“What?”
As Otto looked surprised, a teleportation gate made of the special Skeleton Soldier’s body appeared near Sofia with a wave of magical fluctuations..
