Chapter 113
**Dimetrodon.**
A massive pterosaur adorned with a crest on its back.
The size of an ordinary Dimetrodon would be similar to mine.
But the one before me was anything but ordinary.
It should have been crawling on all fours, yet it was naturally lifting one leg.
No, its entire body was unbalanced.
The lengths of its forelegs didn’t match, and there was nothing in the space where one eye should have been.
Yet its size was larger than mine.
Moreover, its level was no joke.
It was higher than that of the Cockatrice and the Megatherium.
Even in such a state, I couldn’t afford to underestimate it.
“Grrr...”
The Dimetrodon stared at me directly.
It likely meant it had confidence in its raw strength.
In any battle, this is when I needed to conserve my resources even more.
I couldn’t retreat, and I had no means to recover my health.
In that regard, using the toxic strategy had proven to be quite effective.
If I had carelessly unleashed something like the Kaek Death Beam, I wouldn’t have even been able to use my Dash.
I rushed toward it at high speed.
“Graaaar!”
It let out a roar as it swung its foreleg.
Boom!
Naturally, it dodged my attack by pulling back.
My claws struck the ground, and in that moment, other beasts took the opportunity to attack.
“Grah!”
The Terror Birds, Sabertooths, and even smaller Megatheriums.
Dinosaurs about the size of Deinonychus.
A multitude of enemies were targeting my openings.
Just like the Cordyceps did before, this creature was also using its subordinates to ensure its safety.
And that was a situation I had already overcome.
My current body was as sharp as a blade.
Swoosh!
Boom!
With each swing of my tail, the encroaching beasts exploded.
It was the result of my attack power combined with the Dimetrodon’s antics.
Their blood splattered everywhere.
My black scales turned red.
The beasts, desperate to catch me.
And the Dimetrodon, narrowly evading my attack through their sacrifices.
It placed both legs firmly on the ground.
I activated my Dash.
The wind surged around my body.
Using the technique of Dragon’s Leap, I leaped toward it.
There was no way any beast could react to my suddenly increased speed.
Though I had significantly increased in size due to my repeated evolution, my essence still lay in speed.
As I extended my front claw...
Ka-crack!
The Dimetrodon barely managed to block it with its foreleg.
Its claws were tougher than I had expected.
Indeed, it was an opponent that shouldn’t be underestimated based on appearance alone.
Ka-crack!
Our claws clashed in a contest of strength, but the Dimetrodon clearly had its limits.
One of its arms was deformed and unnaturally short.
Even if it could use Dragon’s Breath, it could only do so with one hand.
In contrast, I could use both hands.
Swish.
Ka-crack!
I crossed both hands at a single point and pressed the attack.
“Grrr...”
Ka-crack-crack...
There was no way it could catch my Dragon’s Breath with one arm.
Creeeeak...
The Dimetrodon was pushed back helplessly by my power.
The flow of battle felt quite favorable.
After pressing the advantage like this, I could finish it off with a powerful technique...
Swoosh.
Boom!
Suddenly, blood gushed from my body.
The beasts that held my foot shouldn’t have been able to deal this much damage.
The Dimetrodon’s left hand was occupied, blocking my path.
To attack me, it would have to use its abnormally short right arm.
And that short arm shouldn’t have been able to inflict this level of damage.@@@@
Swish.
I quickly retreated.
If I didn’t figure out the cause, I’d be caught off guard again.
“Kee-kee-kee...”
The Dimetrodon grinned wickedly.
And my blood stained its crest.
The beasts attacking me were all forced to the ground.
Even the Dimetrodon couldn’t escape the effects of my Reverse Eruption Technique.
Of course, maintaining this technique while moving was no easy feat for me either.
But I could manage one attack at least.
With a step.
Thud.
With a boom.
With a step.
Boom!
Like the figure Baek Yeon-Yeong had shown me, just walking was enough to make the earth tremble.
Now, the distance was sufficient.
The claws of a dragon, imbued with strong energy, swung toward it.
Boom!
“Graaah!”
The Dimetrodon screamed as its body was crushed.
This wasn’t the end for me.
Dragon’s Breath, the technique of grabbing my opponent with claws like a dragon’s.
Crunch.
I grabbed its left arm with my strong hand.
Crack!
My claws dug into its thick skin.
“Keee!”
Now, all that was left was to pull.
Crack-crack-crack!
“Graaah!”
The Dimetrodon writhed in agony.
The moment the effects of Reverse Eruption Technique faded, the other beasts rushed at me, but I didn’t care anymore.
The Dimetrodon, with one arm severed, was no longer my match.
It would die on its own if I left it alone.
Of course, I had no intention of just watching.
Who knew what kind of tricks it might pull?
I chased after the creature trying to roll away.
Swish!
“Grah, graah!”
It screamed as it fled.
I swung my claws, aiming for a final strike.
Swoosh!
My swung claw rebounded.
【Dimetrodon Lv55】
What had blocked my attack was another Dimetrodon.
Not one, but two.
They hadn’t charged in from the beginning, but now they had joined the fray?
That didn’t matter.
This one was just
as weak as the one-armed Dimetrodon.
It had the same short arm and single eye.
The only difference was that it was on the opposite side.
If the original Dimetrodon had a deformed right arm, this one had a deformed left arm.
It looked like a mirror image.
Having one more wasn’t surprising, but it wouldn’t pose a major problem.
“Grah, graah!”
The one-armed Dimetrodon extended its right arm.
The newly appeared Dimetrodon extended its left arm.
In that moment, their short arms connected.
Smash!
The Dimetrodons locked their arms together tightly.
What on earth were they trying to do?
The atmosphere felt ominous.
After taking care of the Sabertooth blocking my way, I dashed toward them.
Bang-bang!
The Dimetrodon’s sharp, steel-like crest moved.
It fluttered like a butterfly.
Swoosh.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The crest was constantly moving.
Since their bodies were connected, it looked like they had wings.
No.
They were literally wings.
The Dimetrodon was flying.
I couldn’t process the situation immediately.
It was such a shocking sight.
“Grrr!”
An unbelievable thing happened.
The creature was no ordinary Dimetrodon.
It was a spirit said to need a partner to fly.
A Winged Bird.
“Craaak!”
That was its true identity.
