Two days and two nights!
The entangling fight between Logan and Valstrax lasted a full two days!
He also did not know whether it was because the New World's life energy was abundant, causing all kinds of elemental energy to be extremely active.
Valstrax, which should originally have been moving by following the flow of the Everstream, maintained ultra-high-speed flight for a full two days!
They forcibly looped around the Wildspire Waste once, then flew over the Great Ravine, crossed the Coral Highlands, and forcibly arrived at this icy, snowy hellhole!!
Only now did Valstrax finally show a trace of fatigue—its speed had an obvious drop. At present, it was merely forcing itself on, continuing to maintain its dignity, that was all.
Although he was somewhat tired in spirit, the energy within his body was still incomparably abundant. He even carried a backup source of energy like the Radiant Crystal Butterfly swarm. In terms of stamina, because his energy was abundant, he had not really expended much either—Logan at this moment was just like Valstrax from two days ago.
Using the flying techniques he had learned from Valstrax, he continuously interfered with the airflow beside Valstrax at various angles. Watching the other side wobble unsteadily under high-speed flight because its airflow had been disrupted, Logan's mood immediately improved.
"No good, little bro!"
Although Valstrax could not hear Logan's roar, it could see Logan's mouth movements clearly.
Unwilling, Valstrax wanted to accelerate again, but it simply could not. The massive expenditure of stamina made its draconic energy conversion rate slow down a great deal; being able to maintain the current state already counted as beyond-normal performance.
Watching such a Valstrax, Logan executed another high-difficulty spin, once again disrupting the airflow beside it—like a cat playing with a mouse, not in a hurry to kill, just playing!
"What's the use of being fast? Fast and enduring—that's the true way!"
After another time his wing swept past Valstrax's side and drew up a spiraling airflow, Logan watched as Valstrax suddenly lost control, spinning as it fell toward the ground below. Logan also lost any desire to keep blasting along.
In the end, it was still He who seized the final victory.
With a beautiful swallow return, Logan—trailing blue light—cut through the cloud layer. After climbing high into the sky, He quickly locked onto Valstrax below, which had only just pulled itself out of the thick snow. His entire dragon body rapidly dove straight down.
Several scales were launched out by Logan; driven by acceleration, they were like tiny meteors, carrying flames born from friction with the air as they fell from the sky.
Valstrax shook its head, making itself recover from its dazed stupor, and sensed the commotion. It subconsciously raised its head to look.
That technique descending from the sky looked so familiar!
Other than the fact that the color was not red but blue, the light mass was larger, and the momentum was even more exaggerated, there was almost no difference at all.
"Crap—am I the fake one?"
Even Valstrax had to admit that Logan's performance was even more perfect than what it had used!
No sooner said than done!
In less than a second, Valstrax—its stamina heavily expended—simply had no time to dodge.
It knew very well that for organisms lacking instantaneous short-range burst power, this kind of attack was almost unsolvable!
And Valstrax, which did not have the kind of large-area energy-burst capability other Elder Dragons had, after landing and facing this move, likewise could not find any way to deal with it.
Rather than abandon defense regardless and try to dodge.
It was better to draw in its wings and hope that Logan's strike was only impressive in appearance, and that in reality it simply would not hit—more reliable.
Boom!!!
A tremendous loud noise accompanied a vast amount of shattered snow splashing up high like waves.
Amid a bout of earthshaking tremors, the place Logan attacked directly collapsed; on the surrounding snowy mountains, along with this violent shaking, one large-scale avalanche after another was directly triggered.
Logan beat His wings and flew out from the blinding spray of snowflakes and powder. In midair, He looked down at the figure below that, along with the collapsing ground, fell into the abyss beneath; the Terastal film on His body used to isolate airflow shattered.
Not going to lie—this special move, which He had not used for many years, now that He was using Terastal energy as the primary attacking energy, the burst power it erupted with truly made Logan's eyes light up.
The Terastal film on His body, as well as the Terastal shell on His chest that served as armor, moreover blocked off the vast majority of the recoil force for Him.
In just a single breath, He completely recovered.
Valstrax being dead or alive was something Logan did not care about; after taking a blow like that, even if it did not die, it would at least be crippled.
A frontal strike at the Disaster level, further carrying the instantaneous burst of Terastal energy— even Elder Dragons famed for their vitality could not take it well, let alone a Valstrax that was already utterly exhausted.
"Is this… an ice plain?"
Only at this point did Logan finally have the mood to observe the surrounding environment.
Looking at the avalanches rumbling and erupting in the distance, Logan felt no fluctuation in his heart. Before his transformation, Logan might have already activated Sunlight long ago!
But now, with the Radiant Crystal Butterfly swarm keeping him warm, the extreme cold of the ice plains had little effect on him. He simply disliked this kind of environment, that was all.
After briefly appreciating the vast white scenery, Logan spread his wings once more and flew up into the sky, beginning to carefully sense the flow of the Everstream.
After the transformation, becoming his current, more magic-leaning form, Logan's sense of direction was no longer a biological homing instinct, but a more efficient Everstream perception ability.
By sensing familiar Everstream fluctuations, he could determine his destination with greater clarity.
Accompanied by another sharp sound of air being torn apart, Logan pierced through the clouds and began his return.
And in a place he did not notice, an ice-blue figure that had been disturbed from its sleep flew out from the fissures of a canyon. At this moment, it was letting out eagle-like cries toward the area where a vast hollow had collapsed open.
Along with an extremely cold surprise attack, the creatures that flew past its side were frozen into ice sculptures one after another, falling down into the abyss.
Piece after piece of "stone" carrying a purple glow fell like rain. Unable to find the culprit after being disturbed from its sleep, this countryside girl could only fly back to her nest in indignation, plunging into an Everstream branch channel where magma flowed, letting the scorching magma wash over her body.
Very quickly, layers of new stone, like a new set of clothes, were draped over her body.
The turbulent supercooled water was once again brought under control by this new garment, and the ice plains seemed to return once more to their original calm.
...
At the entrance to the Great Ravine of the Wildspire Waste.
The Commander looked at the battered fortress, then at the enormous figure resting with its eyes closed on the second defensive line—forced to remain there after expending too much stamina breaking through the first line of defense. The smile at the corner of his mouth simply could not be suppressed.
After instructing them to hurry the fine processing and to arrange several more fixed ballistae, the Commander burst into hearty laughter!
