1262 Giant Iguana 2 (2/2)

Saszt's mind relaxed immediately after he had probed and discovered the upper limit of his opponent's strength. Then, he fought and grappled with the Giant Iguana. He used his claws to attempt to scratch the Giant Iguana's neck with all his might. Meanwhile, the Giant Iguana had wound its tongue around Saszt's neck desperately which made it impossible for him to move forward at all.

Both of them rolled around on the snowy ground.

Leona and Boris who were watching covered their faces unconsciously and remained silent.

”He's forgotten everything that we learned in the Combat Course…” said Boris helplessly.

Garen stood on the side and watched for a while. It did not seem like Saszt was in any danger because this little Giant Iguana had clearly come out to hunt alone which made it less risky for Saszt. Its strength was almost on par with Saszt at about nineteen points, more or less.

”Garen, go forward and help him!” Boris yelled.

Garen had no choice but to step forward. He aimed precisely for the Giant Iguana's neck and prepared to hurt it before using his claw.

There was a banging noise.

The bone of the Giant Iguana's neck broke off precisely when it was struck. Garen did not even have to waste a sliver of additional strength before the creature was instantly killed by him.

When the same strength was used by a person who had undergone training and one who had yet to experience those same exercises, the difference between the combat powers of those two individuals was actually very great.

Garen and Saszt were both Level Four Dragon Whelps. They possessed the same types of various Dragon Whelp abilities but Garen's were stronger than Saszt's in more ways than one.

Boris and Leona also felt that Garen's previous clawing motion was very beautiful. However, they were unable to see the entire situation earlier. Therefore, they merely felt that Garen was able to solve this battle instantly because Saszt was already coiled around the Giant Iguana. They did not think that it was significantly amazing because they could have definitely done it themselves as well.

Saszt only crawled out from under the Giant Iguana's belly while panting after the creature was finished off.

”You should've came earlier. That scared me. That fellow's tongue was harder than the scales of the Elders, even to me. If any other dragon had been in my place, they would have been strangled and killed by him at the very first instance!!” Saszt could not help but start boasting after only saying a few words.

Garen shrugged because he could not be bothered with saying much.

”Alright, stop wasting time. Dig out its eyes and Crystal Core quickly because the smell of its blood will attract other creatures over,” Boris had a learned look on his face. As an old scholar of the Nurturing Center, this was naturally not his first hunt.

The four dragons gouged out the items and left quickly. Not long after, they could hear a weird croaking noise echoing behind them faintly. It seemed as though a strange creature had discovered the corpse.

Leona placed the eyeballs and Crystal Core into a little oval shaped can that she had brought.

”This is a preservation bottle that ensures that it won't go bad for a short period of time. It can maintain its freshness for a period of two months and is excellent to be used during quests.”

After that, they encountered another Giant Iguana. It was slightly bigger than the previous one but not to a large extent. It had yet to break through to Level Four.

Compared to the previous Giant Iguana, this one was clearly more vigilant. It released its protective Ice Armor and covered its body immediately after seeing them. It formed a large sparkling white translucent armor instantly that protected the front half of its body. However, the back half of its body was not shielded. Nonetheless, since the Giant Iguana's turning speed was very fast, there was clearly not a possibility that it would give Garen and the other dragons a chance to attack its tail.

Without wasting any time, Saszt charged forward and continued attacking. Since he had already said so earlier, Garen rushed forward as well.

This time, this Giant Iguana's strength was much greater than the previous one. The Giant Iguana moved its head forward and attempted to collide it against the two dragons violently.

Garen moved aside but Saszt was unable to dodge it at all. His wing was scratched before an additional cut appeared in his scales suddenly.

”We'll lift it together,” said Garen loudly. He had yet to display his 21 points of strength but had merely exhibited 19 points of strength which were at the same level as Saszt. He did this to avoid bringing attention to himself.

”Alright.”

Both dragons had just agreed before the Giant Iguana retracted its tail and swung it at them again.

The dull whooshing noise of wind could be heard when its tail fanned out a clearly twisted airstream that whipped towards the two dragons.

Saszt used all his strength to arch forward while Garen lifted both of his claws forward.

Bang!

They blocked it steadily!

The combined strength of both dragons was greater than the Giant Iguana's strength. The Giant Iguana roared. It lowered its head and opened its mouth before its red tongue wound itself around Saszt while its tail swung itself towards Garen for the third time.

”Dragonfire Spell!”

At the moment, Leona roared loudly behind them.

Flames that were shaped like a single dragon exploded from her claws. They were accompanied by countless red stars that flew down and struck the Giant Iguana's tail rapidly.

It appeared that both Leona and Boris had circled the Giant Iguana and arrived behind at its backside suddenly.

This was the combat tactic that they were referring to earlier.

The Giant Iguana's Ice Armor could only protect the top half of its body while its lower half was at a loss. Hence, it was much easier for the dragons when they used one of their stronger members to attract the Giant Iguana's attention while the others attacked it from behind.
