CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 20: FIRE DIVINE ROLE · HUO DOU

After transferring the battlefield to high altitude, the battle between Huo Dou and the White Bone Dragon truly began.

From Li Hao’s perspective, the battle between the two could hardly be called "elegant."

Although the White Bone Dragon inherited the bones of the Dragon of Candle, possessing the physique of a mythical creature level.

However, its lack of intelligence is its greatest flaw.

After its ability to call wind and rain was forcibly sealed.

Relying on its size advantage to pounce and bite repeatedly was the most common way the White Bone Dragon fought.

On the other hand, Huo Dou, despite the huge size difference, relied on its hunting instincts and the enhancement of flames to always manage to bite off a piece of bone from its opponent at the most critical moments.

When the bone debris fell from high altitude, it formed a very rare "bone rain."

These hard bones are almost indestructible, and every piece of debris retains a black ominous fire...

Any creature that touches these bone fragments inevitably becomes a casualty of the battle between the two parties.

It is estimated that only those extremely curious Immortals would actively touch, seek, or even collect these "Divine Bones" tainted with the ominous fire.

Regarding this, Li Hao neither warned nor stopped them.

Because his attention was completely focused on the White Bone Dragon now.

Despite being constantly ambushed by Huo Dou, the White Bone Dragon was still able to maintain its integrity to the greatest extent.

All of this was due to the extremely special personal specialty of the White Bone Dragon—[Self-Repair].

Li Hao was initially curious about what kind of personal specialty would be named [Self-Repair] by the Dragon Race Inheritance.

But now he sees, it wasn’t just [Self-Repair].

It was clearly the super regeneration and healing abilities unique to the Skeletons.

No matter how many bones Huo Dou bit off or how much damage it caused, the wounds and missing parts of the White Bone Dragon could quickly regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, despite the battle lasting for a long time.

The White Bone Dragon, apart from becoming more angry and violent, has not actually suffered any serious injuries.

On the contrary, Huo Dou, though possessing all the characteristics and behaviors of a living creature.

But in essence, it is ultimately only a semi-autonomous secret treasure.

In the absence of its master Li Hao’s command, it can only attack and counterattack in a fixed pattern according to the information in its database.

So even though the White Bone Dragon had low intelligence, after suffering several losses, it gradually adapted to Huo Dou’s attack pattern.

[So, this is why Huo Dou is only a legendary divine artifact and not a true mythical creature?]

As this thought flashed through Li Hao’s mind, he finally decided to end this battle that no longer held any value.

Roar!

In an instant, Huo Dou, originally in a crouching stance, suddenly stood upright.

Its body lengthened rapidly, its structure changed quickly...

In the blink of an eye, Huo Dou transformed from its previous mighty hunting dog image into a taller werewolf form.

"Awoo!"

Accompanied by a piercing wolf howl, black flames directly wrapped around the humanoid Huo Dou.

Golden armor and a radiant cloak, with a fiery halo on its back...

At this moment, Huo Dou appeared like a Fire God walking out from mythology, giving an especially dignified and solemn feeling.

.........................................................

Huo Dou is the assistant of the Fire God, a bringer of ominous exotic beasts.

However, in certain moments, when the Fire God is unable to return for special reasons, Huo Dou can even take over the Fire Divine Role temporarily, becoming the interim Fire God.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the conditions for this are very stringent.

But it cannot hold back now that its master is Li Hao, the Creator who holds dominion over the entire world.

Combined with the fact that Huo Dou was originally birthed within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm now and accepting the Fire Divine Role is just a familiar task.

[Huo Dou indeed comes from the Mountain and Sea Realm.]

At this moment, Li Hao is already able to confirm his previous judgment.

When the Faceless first used Huo Dou’s power, Li Hao had a certain tremor.

Then, as if reclaiming his former abilities, Li Hao suddenly awakened a special divine position called [Fire Divine Role].

At that time, Li Hao decided that he must acquire Huo Dou from the Faceless.

At worst, pay dearly, believing the Faceless wouldn’t fall out over a mere "legendary level" secret treasure.

As a result, before Li Hao could even speak, the Faceless voluntarily gave Huo Dou to him as a gesture of goodwill.

Li Hao wasn’t sure if the Faceless had noticed anything, but he chose to accept the goodwill.

Facts have proven that the match between Huo Dou and this [Fire Divine Role] is exceptionally high, as if the two were originally one.

[Artifact: Calamity of the Calamity]

[Type: Divine Position]

[Quality: Rare Treasure]

[Function①: As the assistant to a certain unknown Fire God, this ominous fire can switch freely between the living and flames.]

[Function②: The inexhaustible flame destined to bring disaster and ominousness, very few things in this world can extinguish it.]

[Function③: The Fire God’s most loyal partner, possessing the potential to temporarily take over the Fire Divine Role.]

...

The type changed from [Flame] to [Divine Position], and the quality upgraded from [Legend] to [Rare Treasure].

Most importantly, aside from its original two functions, Huo Dou acquired a third capability—temporarily taking over the divine position.

Or more accurately, Huo Dou now essentially is the [Fire Divine Role] itself.

Anyone possessing [Calamity of the Calamity] can be the "God of Disaster and Flames" in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Roar!

Facing the true God of Flames, even if the opponent is just a placeholder Fire God.

To the White Bone Dragon at this moment, it seemed somewhat overwhelming.

"Augh!"

When the all-consuming flames swept over.

The White Bone Dragon let out one final angry roar, and was then completely consumed by the seemingly endless black flames.

"Woof!"

When the flames dispersed, and Huo Dou returned to its hunting dog form.

The original White Bone Dragon had disappeared, replaced by a "bone stick" in Huo Dou’s mouth.

If examined closely, that "bone stick" vaguely took on the shape of a dragon, giving an unusually vivid impression.

Evidently, Li Hao did not truly kill this former enemy of his.

After all, it was Li Hao who claimed the final victory in that battle.

Besides, the Dragon of Candle is the Dragon of Candle, while the White Bone Dragon is the White Bone Dragon.

Li Hao can still discern the difference between the two, and would not resent this newly born mythical creature for it.
