"So, senior, can you resist this move?"
Vlad muttered to himself uncertainly, the transparent crystal on his forehead shining slightly, "Well, it doesn't matter if you can bear it, Hephaestus doesn't consume my physical strength anyway. I should have enough to use Loki once!"
The move Inferno Body - Zhu Rong is not just a simple power-enhancing technique, it is also a prerequisite move for many of Vlad's skills. Hephaestus is just one of them, and Loki is certainly one.
Hephaestus is a very convenient move that does not require Vlad to expend additional physical energy to use it. The origin of this move is that Vlad felt that it would be too wasteful for the flames he used to attack and move to dissipate like this. Can't we reuse waste?
So the trick named after the fire god in Greek mythology in the previous life was born. The shape can be adjusted at will. Vlad was feeling eccentric and gave these shapes different names, which can attract Vlad to use them independently. The flames of Hephaestus can continuously accumulate power. Theoretically, as long as Vlad can keep fighting, Hephaestus' power can be infinitely enhanced, and it even can explode to a level of power that even Vlad can't imagine.
"Crack!!!!"
Time gradually passed, and the sphere composed of the move named Hephaestus-Apollo gradually collapsed, and dense cracks appeared on the surface of the sphere, leaking out the almost liquid-like white-gold flame inside.
"Oh!"
Vlad crossed his arms over his chest, looking a little surprised.
"Are you still conscious?"
Vlad looked surprised. Hephaestus had completely dispersed, but that senior was still floating in the air?
"Huh...huh..."
The golden lion floated in the air, breathing slowly. It exuded a disgusting smell of burnt meat and was charred black. The hand and the sword hilt were tightly fused together, and they were connected into one body under the high temperature.
Vlad really didn't expect that even with such an injury, this old man could still continue to stand. What kind of courage was this? What kind of will is it?
"Is this the golden lion?"
Vlad smiled, "As expected of a golden lion!"
"Boy!"
The golden lion said slowly, "Tell me your name!"
"Vlad! Ferdinand Vlad!!"
Vlad's expression was rare and serious, "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
"Pirate King?"
The golden lion muttered, "Vlad?"
"Jiehahahahahaha!!!"
"Ferdinand Vlad! I admit you!"
"You beat me!"
The golden lion laughed so wildly.
"..."
"my pleasure!"
Vlad smiled.
"Boy,"
The Golden Lion smiled, his tone getting weaker and weaker, "You can already be proud, you defeated me, defeated the Golden Lion!"
"Isn't that natural?"
Vlad smiled.
"Jiehahahaha!!"
"Totally lost!"
The golden lion said with a smile, "Roger! I lost again!"
This was a feeling of joy that Shiki had never experienced in twenty years. Although he lost, it was indeed extremely fun, just like when he fought against Roger.
The golden lion's laughter stopped abruptly. To be able to stand like this after suffering such an injury, the golden lion already had the willpower of a monster.
Instantly losing consciousness, the golden lion fell straight down.
"Oh la la!"
Vlad spread his wings, and the white-gold color on his body shattered directly. Like broken light, it spread across the sky as Vlad flew. It looked like an extremely beautiful scenery.
Vlad grabbed the golden lion. This senior had a hard time defeating him. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort if he just fell into the sea like this? Vlad didn't have extra time to salvage him.
The battle is finally over.
---------------
"Boom!!!"
A huge roar echoed across the sky.
"Hey, those islands are starting to fall!"
The maid said in surprise.
In the distance, a number of empty islands that were carried into the sky by the Golden Lion using the power of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi began to sink, and the seawater surrounding the islands instantly shattered and sank.
"The golden lion's ability has been released!"
The chef crossed his arms and smiled, "Looks like the battle is over!"
"Very capable!"
The maid lit a cigarette and smiled brightly, "It seems our captain is quite capable!"
"Isn't that natural?"
Enel's cheeks were red, and he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He was smiling like a fool, and he was laughing and joking without his usual noble and cool look. "The Fire Dragon guy is super strong! How can he not win?" "
"ok ok ok ok!!"
Serena, who held Enel's hand to prevent him from falling to the ground, nodded repeatedly. In her heart, Vlad was invincible, "Mr. Captain will never fail!"
"Uhahahaha!"
Generous laughter spread throughout the sky, "Isn't that natural? How could I be defeated!"
Fiery red meteors streaked across the sky, and Vlad flew to the Platinum Draig with the golden lion in his hand, looking very happy.
"Welcome back, Mr. Captain!"
The chef smiled, and a small plate of cake appeared in his hand at some point.
"Oh oh oh!!"
Vlad returned to his human form and took the cake from the chef's hand with a smile, "The chef still understands me! Eating a plate of cake after a fierce battle is the best supplement for a warrior! Of course, the taste is also important!"
"Is this the golden lion?"
No one cared about Vlad's duplicity. The maid walked to the golden lion that Vlad had thrown on the deck and looked at the black coal-like guy, "Is he still alive like this?"
Baby-5 felt sincerely shocked. Is he still alive after such serious injuries? Looking at the golden lion's chest that was constantly rising and falling, this woman once again saw what the power of life is.
"Do you still need to wonder?"
Vlad smiled, "Although he lost, now is not the time for this senior to retire! In the future-"
"Okay, now all the conditions have been gathered!"
Vlad licked the cake plate in his hand clean and said, "It's time!"
"Ring ring ring!!!"
Vlad turned around and walked into the cabin and took out a phone bug, artificially adding exaggerated sound effects to his mouth.
"Mr. Captain, what is this?"
Serena asked curiously.
"Well--"
Vlad smiled, said nothing, and made a call.
"It's me, Tesoro!"
Soon, the other end of the phone was connected, and the answer was a deep male voice named Gild Tesoro.
"Oh, it's been so long, Tesoro!"
Vlad smiled.
"Oh, Vlad!"
Tesoro's voice didn't waver at all, "What can i do?"
"Hey, of course!"
Vlad smiled, "Didn't I ask you to do me a favor when I left?"
"What?"
Tesoro's voice suddenly became excited, "Is it finally time?"
"yes!"
Vlad smiled, "If you don't arrive in time, you'll regret it!"
"good!"
Tesoro has never been a man who drags his feet, "Soon, they'll be calling you!"
"Loud and clear!"
Vlad hung up the phone.
"BRU BRU BRU!!"
Then, just as Tesoro said, the phone bug soon started ringing.
"Uhahahaha!"
Vlad answered the phone, laughing,
"Hello, I'm Vlad the Fire Dragon!"
"Gorosei!"
