After the second attack missed, Poluso let out a roar, using both claw and fang to launch an even fiercer assault. Meanwhile, behind Leo Ray, the attack from the opponent's corporeal clone also intensified.

For a moment, with the siege from two colossal creatures, both in front and behind, the winds surged violently around Leo Ray and the surrounding area.

Despite the relentless effort of Leo Ray and Little Jie to counter the enemy's offensive, each attempt was perilous, making Serene and others watch in heart-pounding fear.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, be extremely careful!"

Serene was so tense that she almost stood on her tiptoes, her dragon face filled with an extremely anxious expression, and Elder Bing, Yonir, and the others shared the same look.

During Poluso's attack, the surrounding purple aura remained, making it impossible for them to provide support, relying only on the small gap torn open by Leo Ray's remaining Magic Thunder Tower to observe the battlefield's status.

In the process, many experts tried to attack through the gap to aid Leo Ray, but under the influence of the fire system's pure energy, their efforts were like stones cast into the sea, having no effect at all.

"Ant, let's see how long you can hold out!"

In the turbulent battlefield, Poluso's malevolent dragon eyes narrowed, and he opened his dragon mouth to bite Red Night's neck.

At this moment, Red Night's dragon body trembled incessantly, evidently entering the most crucial phase.

"I said, as long as I stand here, no one will harm her in the slightest."

A mound of magical scrolls was already piling up at Leo Ray's feet, and his voice was firm and unwavering.

As another defense scroll was activated, a massive ice mirror materialized in midair, blocking Poluso's path.

"Ant, do you think the Lonely King will hit the shield every time?"

Poluso's attack did not slow down; instead, he had already prepared, spewing out a dragon breath that had been brewing for a long time, sweeping directly towards the massive ice mirror.

The overwhelming fiery waves just touched the ice mirror radiating cold air, and a thick plume of steam immediately rose to the sky, making an ear-splitting "sizzle" sound.

Subsequently, the thick ice mirror visibly started to melt and shrink, soon vanishing completely.

Normally, a Tier 6 ice mirror would possess a considerable degree of reflective capability, unlikely to be easily shattered by dragon breath; however, given the environmental constraints, this situation was not surprising.

In the next second, a giant dragon head with sharp teeth broke through the steam, carrying a mighty momentum, and was already in close proximity, while sweat beaded densely on Leo Ray's forehead.

In the previous intense battle with the last batch of parasitic dragons, he had exhausted all his Tier 6 summoning scrolls, and the Tier 6 ice mirror just now was his last Tier 6 shield defense scroll. As for the Tier 6 attack scrolls, they had all been depleted.

As for the Tier 5 magical scrolls, he had tried earlier, but they were utterly useless here, dissipating almost as soon as they formed.

In other words, he now had no means to resist the opponent's assault.

Noticing Little Jie engaged in an indistinguishable fight with the opponent's clone, unable to break away, sweat poured down Leo Ray's forehead like rain.

"Ant, let's see how you deal with this time!"

Poluso evidently noticed this as well; the sharp teeth in his dragon mouth gleamed chillingly as they closed in on Red Night's vulnerable neck.

Clang!

With a deafening crash, Poluso instinctively felt a bright flash before him; surprisingly, his dragon tooth had stopped, clearly colliding with something.

Upon closer inspection, it was Leo Ray, clad in black armor, standing firm on Red Night's neck, intercepting the dragon tooth with his longsword.

However, from Leo Ray's pale complexion, it was evident that this interception had nearly expended all his remaining internal energy.

This was not surprising. After all, for someone still at the Tier 5 peak to successfully block Poluso's strike undoubtedly surpassed all Tier 5 peak experts and even went beyond all half-step Tier 6 experts.

"Oh? Still putting up a futile struggle?"

Gazing at Leo Ray, still enveloped by Red Night's energy barrier, Poluso was evidently a bit surprised, then laughed heartily: "Ant, you managed to block it once, but can you block it a second time?"

With that, a massive claw swung towards Leo Ray, launching a second offensive.

Clang!

Once again, a thunderous crash echoed, and this time, Leo Ray's entire body radiated a flowing brilliance, successfully deflecting the claw strike without a scratch.

This was not Leo Ray's life-saving card; it was the Tier 6 Absolute Defense Scroll he used, different from the Shield Defense Scroll. The Absolute Defense Scroll with a very limited coverage range often only protected the caster themselves. This was the last batch of Tier 6 scrolls Leo Ray had.

"What a disappointment, it seems your attack is no better; not even able to defeat an ant, you might not even be as good as one?"

Watching Poluso, who had failed once more, Leo Ray's voice remained calm and unwavering.

The reason Leo Ray angered his opponent was to direct the focus solely onto himself. Since the Absolute Defense Scroll's coverage range is limited, luring Poluso's attention towards him would undoubtedly allow more time for Red Night.

"Boy, seeking death!"

Unsurprisingly, Poluso was instantly enraged, a whirlwind of fierce attacks engulfing towards Leo Ray like a violent storm.

Despite the ferocity of the offensive, granted the Absolute Defense Scroll continued its power, Leo Ray stood immovable as a mountain. As long as the Absolute Defense Scroll wasn't exhausted, Leo Ray would remain unshaken.

After attacking for a while longer, Poluso quickly realized this too, and a sinister smile crept across the corners of his toothy mouth.

In the next moment, the massive claw intended for Leo Ray abruptly changed direction midair, viciously assaulting Red Night's vulnerable abdomen!

Due to the suddenness of it all, Serene and the others watching let out cries of alarm, and Louise even covered her eyes.

Leo Ray had fought with all his might to buy time; could it all be for naught in the end?

Clang!

Another earth-shattering crash, Poluso's attack was yet again intercepted by a small defensive barrier.

"What's this about now?"

Poluso roared angrily, instantly fixing his eyes upon a seemingly tiny speck of a fairy blocking the way—it was another Stone Spirit, Little Illusion.

When releasing Little Jie, Leo Ray had actually stealthily let out other Stone Spirits too, equipping each with several Absolute Defense Scrolls, prepared for such a situation.

Although the area these hand-sized Stone Spirits can defend is minuscule relative to the vast dragon body, anything is better than nothing; it could provide Red Night some layer of protection.

Moreover, the fairy form of the Stone Spirits made them difficult to detect, undoubtedly playing a certain role in concealment.

"Little Illusion, well done."

Leo Ray sighed in relief, wiping the sweat off his forehead. He was fortunate to have prepared in advance, and upgraded quite a few Tier 6 scrolls from his allies such as the Wood Fairies, or the situation could have been dire indeed.

"Boy, the Lonely King wants to see how much longer your little tricks can last!"

Understanding the situation, Poluso had no hesitation, swinging his massive claw yet again for a ferocious attack on Red Night's body.

Seeing this, as Leo Ray and the Stone Spirits prepared to respond once more, the previously placid fiery aura around them suddenly blazed with a renewed brilliance. More fiery aura surged overwhelmingly, rapidly converging towards Red Night.

At this moment, Leo Ray could clearly feel Red Night's dragon body not only stop trembling but her energy began to surge rapidly upwards, even the energy barrier covering her body became increasingly thicker.

"Thank you, my Lord, next it's my turn to protect you."

Red Night's spirited voice rang in Leo Ray's ears as she swung her massive claw to confront Poluso head-on.
