This terrifying assault was on par with an emperor-level spell.
Yet, in the next moment, the surging magic was blocked by an invisible barrier.
No, not an invisible barrier, but a silver-white gate.
This was Orsted's spell, the "Dragon Gate."
The violent magic relentlessly battered the Dragon Gate, centered on Orsted, crushing everything in its path.
The snow along the way turned to dust, and all visible objects on the ground vanished, leaving a deep, unfathomable trench.
Yet, the Dragon Gate held firm.
Even with cracks appearing and seemingly on the verge of collapse, it remained steadfast.
Orsted frowned, reassessing Roa.
"Such a level of magic. So, you're the one I saw earlier," Orsted said expressionlessly. He didn't continue to rely on the Dragon Gate but also extended a finger.
Orsted calmly and coldly uttered two words.
"Disturb Magic."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surging magic began to crumble. The black torrent dissipated into the four elements, returning to nature. Simultaneously, the magic gathered on Roa's finger became momentarily chaotic.
Not just the magic on his finger, but the magic throughout his body as well.
Casting spells requires balanced magic, but Orsted's Disturb Magic targeted this very aspect, forcibly disrupting a mage's magic, rendering them unable to cast spells.
Even with Roa's control over magic, this still occurred, showing just how devastating this spell was to ordinary mages.
With his magic disrupted, Roa couldn't cast spells.
Or could he?
Roa stepped forward, vanishing once more. Dragon blood and magic intertwined. Even if he couldn't cast spells, it didn't mean he was powerless.
Without further ado, Roa whistled. The Red Dragon, watching from afar, immediately rose. Its black scales gleamed, and its massive wings spread. A scorching breath gathered in its mouth as it soared through the sky, unleashing a torrent of dragon breath towards Orsted.
The raging dragon's breath, carrying terrifying heat, instantly arrived before Orsted.
However, facing this level of dragon breath, Orsted didn't even raise a hand to defend.
Orsted looked at Roa expressionlessly, he just said indifferently: "What? Is that all you've got?"
The dragon's breath scorched the ground, instantly causing it to collapse, and the terrifying heat engulfed the location where Orsted was.
The surface was scorched black, and the surrounding snow melted due to the terrifying heat. The falling snow disappeared into this world. The heavy snow came quickly, but it also left quickly.
Flames soared into the sky, and smoke billowed. The originally gray world became even more desolate at this moment.
However, this level of dragon breath didn't even break through Orsted's defense.
Roa took this scene into his eyes. He didn't expect the Red Dragon to break through Orsted's defense. Roa didn't speak, but took another step forward.
The Red Dragon's dragon breath didn't stop just because it was ineffective against Orsted. The spewing dragon flames continued to output, constantly burning Orsted, seemingly wanting to cause damage to Orsted in this way.
"If it's just this level, both you and this dragon will have to stay." Orsted said with a cold expression.
Roa disappeared from the spot. The eightfold speed increase of "Moment" brought Roa extremely terrifying speed.
However, even with this terrifying speed, it was still a bit much to face the Dragon God.
The Dragon God's golden eyes looked towards a certain place, and the next moment, the originally disappeared Roa appeared there.
Roa still didn't choose to attack at close range, but instead opened up a distance and began to chant from afar: "Infinite darkness, slaughter our enemies—Death Dark Thunder."
This time, it wasn't just a simple gathering of magic power.
The other dimensional darkness of the Bladedance world erupted at this moment. Terrifying energy was constantly compressed and gathered. Purple-black lightning mixed with other dimensional darkness, and the terrifying energy instantly annihilated everything visible in front of it.
The purple-black lightning soared into the sky, and the violent lightning struck towards Orsted at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. Almost in an instant, Orsted was struck by this fierce purple-black lightning.
Orsted could ignore the Red Dragon's dragon breath. Orsted could also ignore the energy that Roa had previously gathered with magic power alone, because that was just Roa's manipulation and control of magic power.
But right now, this was not something he could ignore.
The violent lightning, carrying boundless magic power, washed over Orsted's body. Even the rough white coat made of ancient white dragon skin was rattled by this energy.
Orsted's expression was still cold. His clothes didn't have a single tear, but his body was washed back several steps by this terrifying purple-black lightning.
"Very powerful magic, but for me, it's still a little short."
Orsted praised slightly, but this kind of praise didn't feel good to Roa.
Roa didn't stop interrupting the magic chanting. He stood at an extremely far position and cast magic.
This was to prevent Orsted from suddenly drawing his sword and instantly killing him.
You must know that the Water God could act in his second stage of "Moment" when he activated the Deprivation Field, and if the opponent was changed to the Dragon God Orsted, even if he activated the third stage of "Moment", he might be instantly beheaded once he triggered the Dragon God's defense mechanism.
Moreover, the Dragon God has only shown one skill, Disturb Magic, so far.
However, even knowing in advance that the Dragon God possessed the skill of Disturb Magic, Roa didn't have any good countermeasures.
Roa didn't waste any words. Even if he didn't have any countermeasures, he would try to see to what extent he could push the opponent.
"Pierce through! Destroy everything with the Judgment Magic Thunder—Death Dark Thunder!"
"Infinite darkness, slaughter our enemies—Death Dark Thunder!"
"…"
This time, Roa chanted dozens of times.
It was still lightning. Purple-black lightning appeared again, and this time, it was dozens of purple-black lightning bolts.
The black lightning intertwined with each other, forming even thicker and more violent lightning.
And when these ten lightning bolts appeared, the magnetic field in the air became chaotic at this moment.
The original ten lightning bolts eventually converged into five purple-black thunderbolts.
The five black lightning bolts fell in an instant. The five purple-black lightning bolts, plus the Red Dragon's dragon breath, five black and one red, six beams of light constantly washed over Orsted's body from all angles, front, back, left, and right.
When the five lightning bolts fell, it seemed that there was only the roar of these five thick lightning bolts between the sky and the earth.
This time, even with Orsted's amazing physique and magic resistance, he couldn't ignore this attack.
If all the attacks hit the Dragon God, wouldn't even the Dragon God be injured to some extent?
If the attack hit the Dragon God…
However, smoke billowed, and when the Death Dark Thunder stopped, there was no one in the distant pit. Orsted's figure had disappeared from there.
"Dodged it?"
No, it shouldn't be.
Roa saw that where Orsted was originally standing, there were now silver-white fragments scattered on the ground.
Roa had seen this thing just now. It was Orsted's [Dragon Gate].
There was no doubt that the [Dragon Gate] had been shattered.
The opponent should have temporarily escaped by relying on the short-term resistance of the Dragon Gate.
That's not right either. The Dragon Gate couldn't withstand this level of magic attack. There should be other means, maybe that leather coat, or the Battle Aura wrapped around Orsted's body.
But such a level of magic, only exchanging for a spell called the Dragon Gate, was still too much of a loss.
Roa's golden pupils turned slightly, surveying the surroundings. The third stage of "Moment" brought Roa unparalleled perception. Within this range, everything would be clearly perceived by him.
However, even so, he hadn't noticed how Orsted had moved just now.
A strong sense of oppression was still pressing on Roa's nerves. The Dragon God was the strongest enemy Roa had ever encountered.
This distance was not enough to cast any decent magic.
Magic above the Emperor level required a long time to cast, and that amount of time was enough for the Dragon God to cross thousands of meters and instantly chase after him.
Being able to cast Death Dark Thunder was already the limit.
He could indeed cast chantless magic, but what was omitted from the so-called chantless magic were only low-level spells. Once it involved Emperor-level and above magic, Roa could only omit some of the lengthy chanting words at most. As for omitting all of them, it wasn't impossible, but that would inevitably lead to the spell itself not being complete, and its power would be greatly reduced.
And facing a strong enemy like the Dragon God, an incomplete spell meant that it couldn't break through the defense.
However, he wasn't only relying on magic right now.
His strongest point was still close combat.
Roa took a deep breath. Boiling dragon blood and violent power surged in this body. The powerful force was constantly suggesting to him that even a head-on confrontation was not impossible.
Moment.
Dragon Blood.
Magic Power.
Bloodlust and Rampage.
These four things brought Roa a power that could almost destroy any creature in the world. Even the so-called Red Dragon would have its dragon head crushed by Roa's bare hands the moment they met. The so-called hardness was just a joke in Roa's eyes at this moment.
Under this extremely inflated power, Roa wanted to have a hearty battle.
This was the world of Mushoku Tensei. There were no so-called restraints or suppressions. He was in an unprecedentedly good state right now.
Every cell in his body was shouting, urging him to step forward and tear the opponent apart with the most primitive close combat, and use force to make the opponent submit.
The inflated power brought Roa unparalleled confidence. The boiling dragon blood and violent magic power were stimulating every nerve in Roa's body.
Just as Roa was cautiously surveying the surroundings, the Red Dragon, who was originally soaring in the sky, suddenly let out a shrill scream.
Its burly and tall body seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow, and its huge body fell straight from the sky.
Both of its dragon wings were broken, bent in an extremely strange posture. The Red Dragon crashed heavily to the ground, smashing out a deep pit.
Roa's gaze went over, and the smoke cleared, revealing the scene inside.
Orsted's hand was tightly gripping the Red Dragon's jaw. Orsted looked at Roa expressionlessly, took a deep breath, and then exerted a slight force with his right hand. The Red Dragon's head was instantly twisted to an unbelievable angle.
Orsted kicked straight out, and the powerful force directly kicked the Red Dragon in front of him away. The violent force made the ground shake.
The dragon scales, which were known as the most solid in this world, were like paper. The black scales were kicked in, and the scales were deeply embedded in the flesh. Purple-black blood flowed out, and the huge force penetrated the internal organs. At this time, the Red Dragon couldn't even let out a wail.
The Red Dragon spun and flew into the distance, crashing to the ground with a loud bang. Roa glanced at the Red Dragon and didn't say anything.
There was no need to say more. Even if he fed this Red Dragon with magic power, it would be crippled even if it didn't die this time.
Roa was still expressionless, but his gaze was already slightly cold at this moment.
"You dare to kill my dragon?"
Roa's right hand slowly placed on the long sword that was placed horizontally on his waist.
His magic skills were still too shallow, and he couldn't compete with the opponent with magic. In the end, he could only rely on swordsmanship.
And facing Roa's question, Orsted just said coldly: "I killed it, what can you do?"
Orsted was expressionless, without the slightest change. He seemed to be stating a fact, or telling an insignificant fact.
But it was precisely this attitude of the other party that was the most infuriating.
Roa silently met Orsted's gaze, two pairs of golden pupils looking at each other.
Roa didn't hesitate at all, and the long sword was unsheathed at this moment.
The eightfold speed of "Moment" brought Roa unparalleled amplification. In just an instant, a distance of hundreds of feet was directly crossed by Roa, and the long sword named Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword was unsheathed at this moment.
The silver-white sword body was as silver-white as snow.
The long sword slashed down, silently, like a bubble.
This sword was very fast, so fast that it was almost unbelievable, so fast that even Orsted revealed a trace of astonishment.
The long sword slid down, and in an instant, the atmosphere was divided, the gray sky was torn apart, and the terrifying slash slashed down, splitting the sky and the earth. The earth and sky behind Orsted were cut into huge gaps.
The violent sword energy washed over, seemingly splitting this world in half.
However, the astonishment on Orsted's face quickly turned into a smile. Orsted's smile was imperceptible, but it could indeed be seen that he was smiling.
