997 The Drake Turns Into Bones! (1/2)

Mo Fan felt his head spinning; he had totally lost his sense of direction.
The force of the claw was absolutely ridiculous. Mo Fan almost felt his bones falling apart from the impact, even though he was wearing the Black Snake Armor!
While Mo Fan was losing consciousness, he suddenly sensed a strong presence coming from the side. His hair instantly stood on its end as a huge shadow loomed over him!
The Black Sea Drake opened its mouth and bit at Mo Fan!
Mo Fan cast the Fleeing Shadow when its fangs were mere inches away from his face. He split into two shadows and barely escaped from the creature's jaws through the gaps between its fangs!
The Black Sea Drake continued to chase after Mo Fan's shadows relentlessly. Its long dragon whiskers seemed to have minds of their own, and actually wrapped around his body to tie him up like a golden chain.
Mo Fan was shocked when he saw the dragon whiskers squeezing in. If he was trapped by the dragon's whiskers, he would surely be shoved into the creature's mouth right away!
”Dark Noble Mantle!”
Mo Fan did not preserve his strength any further. He quickly Summoned the Dark Noble Mantle.
The silhouette of a long mantle swiftly appeared on his back while he was still in the form of a shadow. It looked like a pair of wings folding up.
As soon as the mantle appeared, Mo Fan's presence vanished without a trace. The shadow completely merged with the ocean and the rocks. It was impossible to tell where Mo Fan went!
The Black Sea Drake's whiskers immediately lost their target. They were swinging aimlessly in the air, not knowing if they should withdraw or reach further.
The Black Sea Drake's fierce eyes were trying very hard to hunt Mo Fan down, too!
It would not believe that the human had vanished without a trace. The intelligent Black Sea Drake splashed water across the sky to find where Mo Fan was hiding.
As the spray of water started falling, the Black Sea Drake soon noticed the rain's path had altered, as if it had landed on something.
The Black Sea Drake huffed, as if it was laughing at the human's amusing attempt. Its whiskers immediately lunged at the human figure that the water was highlighting in the air, and quickly tied it up.
The Black Sea Drake dragged the figure right to it when it felt its whiskers had caught something, trying to pull the human out from his hiding spot. It then bit at it with a huge bite.
However, it was only a black mantle disguising itself as a human figure. It reclaimed its usual appearance when the Black Sea Drake forcibly dragged it forwards. There was nothing inside the mantle, like a magician who had vanished into thin air inside his slender cape.
Mo Fan gradually appeared behind the Black Sea Drake. The mantle that the Black Sea Drake had caught disappeared suddenly too, before reappearing on Mo Fan's shoulders.
The Black Sea Drake was confused. It had no clue how the human had managed to pull it off. Meanwhile, it felt a scorching heat coming from behind it, which felt rather terrifying even though it had yet to land!
”Flame Sword!” Standing behind the Black Sea Drake, Mo Fan raised the burning sword and slashed forward.
The giant ten-meter-long sword struck the Black Sea Drake on the back and immediately left a long, burning cut around its vertebrae. The fire was burning inside the Black Sea Drake's flesh.
The Black Sea Drake let out a painful cry. The spikes on its back rose suddenly and belched out a cloud of black smoke at Mo Fan.
The smoke was pitch-black, with a rather unpleasant smell.
Mo Fan knew the black smoke was poisonous. He did not dare to go any closer, but immediately fled outside the area of the smoke.
He flung the Dark Noble Mantle up, producing a shadow looming over the place. Mo Fan was basically invisible within the shadow, and his speed was several times faster than when he was casting Fleeing Shadow!
With the Dark Noble Mantle, Mo Fan no longer needed to worry about finding a shadow. The Dark Noble Mantle was able to provide him with the shadows he needed...
Against a creature like the Black Sea Drake, the Blood Tabi was simply too weak to make any difference. The Dark Noble Mantle had actually secured Mo Fan the upper hand in the fight. It was worth the strenuous effort that Mo Fan had put in just to claim it!
The Black Sea Drake twisted its body. It was clenching its teeth against the pain from the burning wound on its back. It had the urge to tear the detestable human into pieces. Most frustratingly, it was still having trouble finding where he was!
Where was he hiding?
The Black Sea Drake scanned the area, but even with its outstanding senses, it was unable to locate the human with the Shadow Element.
”Nine Halls!”
Suddenly, nine stunning fiery pillars rose under the Black Sea Drake. Five of them struck the Black Sea Drake's fleshy rump!
The Nine Pillars constructed with the Calamity Fire were far stronger than before. The flames rising into the sky were like the eruption of nine volcanoes, scorching lava splattering across the place. The Black Sea Drake was jumping up as the heat was just too unbearable!
