Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 58: Revised - Flame Dragon Armor, Fusion!

"Zzzzzz..."

Thunderous roars erupted as the dark shadow of the Soaring Dragons charged forward with lethal force.

"Boom!!"

Blazing pillars of fire surged violently, filling the crimson cave with waves of scalding heat. The few Soaring Dragons at the forefront were instantly incinerated by the fiery blasts, reduced to charred remains as they plummeted to the ground.

"Hiss!!"

Undaunted, the Soaring Dragons relentlessly continued their assault. Steel Garuru’s mouth unleashed bursts of Extreme Cold Energy, freezing the leading Soaring Dragons into lifeless ice sculptures.

Immediately after, Steel Garuru’s body deployed energy cannon systems, unleashing a barrage of concentrated firepower.

"Boom boom..."

The Soaring Dragon swarm was thrown into chaos by the energy cannon assault, their formation completely disrupted.

Qin Shou seized the moment, slapping the head of the greedy snake.

"Charge!"

"Roar!"

The greedy snake soared high, lunging straight into the Soaring Dragon swarm with ferocious intensity.

Inside the cockpit, Fang Bao activated his mecha’s flight mode. Storm Red ignited its energy thrusters and followed closely behind the greedy snake.

"Boom..."

Trailing Storm Red was Steel Garuru, whose Steel Wings expelled energy, forming a protective rear alongside the greedy snake as they shielded Storm Red.

"Hiss..."

Up ahead, the greedy snake collided with the Soaring Dragon swarm, resulting in an explosion of fire and scattering sparks. One Soaring Dragon after another fell amidst thick black smoke, while the blazing heat waves tore through their lines, creating an opening in the swarm.

With this strike, the greedy snake went all out, exhausting the energy reserves within its body.

From this point on, it could only rely on the sheer power of its robust physique to fend off the Soaring Dragons.

"Roar!"

"Hiss!"

"Clang clang clang..."

The greedy snake charged into the swarm, creating sparks as its sharp insect legs and stinger clashed violently against the armored dragon scales.

Though their attacks could not penetrate the greedy snake’s defenses, the pain it endured was undeniably real.

"Roar!"

The greedy snake furiously lashed out with its claws and tail, forcing back wave after wave of Soaring Dragons.

At this moment, Qin Shou, perched atop the greedy snake’s head, had mysteriously disappeared from sight.

Hidden in stealth mode, Qin Shou gripped a Dragon Horn tightly, his eyes constantly monitoring the chaotic battle below.

For now, the greedy snake was holding its ground, and Steel Garuru’s defenses were not lacking either. Against the seemingly ceaseless swarm of Soaring Dragons, they could sustain themselves for a short while.

However, things looked grim for Storm Red, merely a Level 1, 8 Stars mecha. Facing Soaring Dragons whose powers ranged from Danger Level 8 to Dangerous Nine Stars, its situation was dire.

"Hiss..."

"Ding ding ding..."

With the Soaring Dragons relentlessly pressing forward, their dense stinger attacks pierced the mecha’s Defensive Shield too rapidly, draining its energy reserves completely.

"Beep beep... Alert: Defensive Shield compromised..."

"Beep beep... Alert: Mecha damaged..."

Inside the violently shaking cockpit, red alarms flashed urgently as sparks erupted from malfunctioning circuits.

Sweat pouring down his temples, Fang Bao frantically operated the mecha in a desperate counterattack, but his efforts barely made a dent.

"What do we do? What do we do? Qin Shou’s two cultivated beasts can’t protect us..." he muttered with a pale face.

Beside him, Long Xia and Lin Xiaomei struggled to steady themselves amidst the tremors, their hearts seized by panic.

"The Soaring Dragon swarm is far more terrifying than we imagined," Lin Xiaomei said grimly.

"This is it, we’re finished. Old Qin, when you get back, make sure to tell my mom and dad that their son—" Long Xia closed his eyes and began rambling incoherently, having already abandoned all hope for survival.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, the three inside felt a massive blast outside the cockpit. The tremors of the mecha started to stabilize.

They focused their gaze, only to see the virtual display where the Soaring Dragons surrounding the mecha had been frozen into transient statues by Extreme Cold Energy, buying precious time to slow down further damage to the mecha.

Momentary relief washed over them.

Then, Lin Xiaomei let out a sudden gasp and pointed at another image on the monitor. "Look! What’s Qin Shou doing?"

The other two turned to look—and their faces paled.

At some unknown moment, Qin Shou had reverted to his original form.

A bold and majestic, flame-emitting belt now hovered at his waist.

In the next instant, Qin Shou leaped unexpectedly from the greedy snake’s head, hurtling straight toward Storm Red.

"Old Qin, are you out of your mind?!"

"Stop it!"

"He’s done for! He’s going to die for sure..."

The trio’s expressions turned grim, watching helplessly as Qin Shou rushed toward the deadly stinger strikes from multiple Soaring Dragons.

"Buzz!!"

Suddenly, before their disbelieving eyes, the tides turned.

Qin Shou’s face remained calm as he touched the Tai Chi Diagram at the center of his belt. A Space Gate projected from the diagram appeared right before him.

"Boom..."

Fiery explosions erupted from the Space Gate, engulfing Qin Shou entirely.

At the same time, the attacking Soaring Dragons were forced back by the sudden surge of flames, frantically flapping their wings to escape its range.

In the midst of the blazing inferno, Qin Shou’s voice rang out like thunder.

"Flame Dragon Armor, fusion!"

"Boom!"

The flames surged higher, consuming several Soaring Dragons in their wake, whose mournful cries echoed as they fell to the ground, trailing black smoke.

Inside the cockpit, the trio froze. What was happening?

"Crunch crunch..."

Suddenly, the mecha trembled again as two Soaring Dragons resumed their assault on Storm Red’s Steel Body.

"Beep beep... Warning: Mecha damaged..."

The trio panicked, unable to react, when the virtual display showed a fiery figure dashing rapidly out from the blazing inferno, heading straight for Storm Red.

"Boom..."

Moving at blinding speed, the fiery figure collided with a Soaring Dragon, bringing forth a shockwave of fiery heat. The Soaring Dragon let out a pained cry and crashed to the ground upon impact.

"Boom..."

Swiftly, the fiery figure retreated, landing on the other side of Storm Red, releasing bursts of Flame Blade Light in an explosive arc.

"Boom!"

The fiery blades shot outward, slicing another Soaring Dragon into lifeless pieces that fell to the ground.

As the flames dissipated, the trio focused their gaze. Replacing the inferno stood a menacing, fiery red armor.

The armor’s helmet resembled a dragon, while its chest radiated with the brilliance of an Energy Crystal. Two half-open Dragon Eyes gleamed ominously on its chestplate, radiating a mysterious force.

"It has to be Old Qin!" Long Xia exclaimed in delight.

"Yes, it’s definitely him," Lin Xiaomei said excitedly.

"So... this was his trump card!" Fang Bao said, stunned.

A battle armor stronger than any mecha?

Just then, Qin Shou’s voice came through to the cockpit.

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and follow the greedy snake. Leave the rest to me!"

"Got it, got it..."

Fang Bao snapped out of his daze, urgently maneuvering the mecha to follow the greedy snake.

Standing on the back of Storm Red, Qin Shou wielded a dual-edged Flame Saber, channeling Star Power mixed with the fire energy from the chestplate into the weapon. A casual swing unleashed several meters of Sword Energy, slashing the incoming Soaring Dragons to pieces.

"Boom!!"

Amid the shower of blade light and fire shadow, no Soaring Dragon dared to approach, successfully safeguarding Storm Red.

Beneath his blue visor, Qin Shou smiled in satisfaction.

Not bad. The Flame Dragon Armor, fused with the Spine-eating Gu, had elevated his Newborn Seven Stars strength to Newborn Nine Stars.

Beyond that, in fusion mode, Qin Shou could directly withstand battles against Dangerous Nine Stars monsters, making him far stronger than regular Newborn Nine Stars cultivators.

The only regret Qin Shou felt was that this Flame Dragon Armor was forged into a semi-organic parasitic beast, achieving only ten percent similarity.

Without a master’s control, the Flame Dragon Armor couldn’t unleash its true power.
