fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tremors beneath everyone’s feet intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cracks on the ground expanded at a visibly fast pace, as if some creature underground was about to break free from the earth’s constraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albena protected Gauss as they retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a loud rumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soil at the center of the crack suddenly blew upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of an insect covered in a hard shell burst out from the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of them were several giant multi-legged insect-like monsters, born with sharp mouthparts perfect for digging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss instantly recognized their species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Burrowing insects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was of little importance, since burrowing insects mostly only posed a level 2 challenge as demons, and aside from their digging talents, their combat strength was quite mediocre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Gauss sensed a burst of scorching breath energy surging out from the huge hole the burrowing insects had excavated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire elemental breath energy erupted from the underground like a volcanic explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, a menacing crimson figure tore through the earth and soared towards the sky with unparalleled might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, its powerful dragon wings fully opened, beating heavily as it hovered above everyone’s heads with scorching air currents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson scales glistened under the scorching noon sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a flying, living volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Red Dragon Beast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss discovered that witnessing this dragon beast in person was far more awe-inspiring than observing it through the shared vision of Clay Magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is a dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least its physical appearance shouldn’t differ much from the red dragons nurtured by its kin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon its appearance, its molten gold-colored slit eyes instantly locked onto Gauss’s team on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Gauss, whose small body emitted a familiar yet strange aura that made it uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This aura vaguely unnerved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, within its sight was undeniably a bipedal human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It opened its mouth, letting out a deafening roar, seemingly in anger yet trying to relieve its unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below it, more kobolds were emerging from the underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with their lord, they returned to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss and the others slightly distanced themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss had only engaged in brief combat earlier, without using much magic, just a Magic Missile and Flying Technique, but he hadn’t expended no energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, aiming to swiftly settle the battle, he invested a significant portion of his magic power into upgrading, which resulted in the earlier one-hit kill scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still chewing on crystal stone dust, using the talent of a [Special Stomach] to quickly replenish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful, Lord Gauss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Gauss, Albena advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could see the dragon beast floating in the sky had set its sights on Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the Red Dragon Beast?\" Aaliyah swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragons compared to ordinary creatures were indeed beings from another dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its size wasn’t particularly exaggerated, but the pressure and presence it exhibited far exceeded that of demons of the same tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since its appearance, even the air seemed to grow heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with an oppressive sulfurous scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serdur seemed somewhat uneasy, but after a deep breath and adjustment, he continued to cast recovery magic on Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the initial shock, Gauss was the least affected by the presence of the Red Dragon Beast, despite its focus almost entirely on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this didn’t mean that the beast wasn’t powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the land covered in a blanket of yellow sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both parties temporarily remained motionless for their respective reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly absorbing the energy-rich demon crystal dust allowed Gauss to quickly recover his condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this standoff was destined to be short-lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking the calm first was the impatient dragon beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknown why, the longer it watched Gauss, the more its inner unease intensified, making it grow even more restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unease quickly transformed into a deep-seated sense of humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creatures as small as these bipedal insects should naturally be groveling under the glory of its proud dragon wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its ferocious wings, larger than its body, suddenly flapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its form shot upward abruptly, while it opened its dragon maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slightly lowered its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any preparation time, its thick neck swelled and reddened, a blaze of fire condensed within its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the fire formed into a golden flame that shot forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shower of fire rained down from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stand by my side!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no time for more words, Albena, well prepared, shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, she grasped the shield [Fortress of Mountains] with her arm on full display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield [Fortress of Mountains] and magical armor [Azure Oath] burst forth with intense radiance, magical runes instantly lighting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a wall of energy rapidly expanded around her, enveloping Gauss and the others in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then hardened into a massive, solid, semi-transparent crystal barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the shield formed, the Red Dragon Beast’s molten breath cascaded down like a fiery rain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorching breath collided with the crystal wall shimmering like liquid gold, as two forces ravaged the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples of intense vibrations exploded across the shield’s surface, its light flickering urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>",871,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","518c14425c803faec5b2f9e5e122a13dab92af4b34e8912edfd3472a47f15590","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-492","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-490",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
