Unlike Dante, who had become 1.5x stronger, Nix had become 6x stronger because he was a genuine dragon and his blood's rank was far higher than Dante, who only burned his demon's blood essence.
Of course, Dante still had another trump card, but this trump card's aftereffect had many drawbacks. If Dante used it, he would definitely ruin his foundation, resulting in his rank becoming stagnant and unable to progress further.
The MadDog noticed that Nix had become stronger by sacrificing his future and life in the process.
However, the dog didn't care as it was confident in its own strength because even if Nix burned his blood or whatever, the effect would be minimal as the dog thought that Nix only had a thin Dragon bloodline within him.
Unfortunately for him, Nix had a genuine Ice Dragon bloodline within him, even though his qualification and in some aspects was far worse than any other Dragon for some reasons.
When the dog had arrived in front of Nix, it immediately swung its right paw, aiming at Nix's neck while using its [Fire Claw] skill, as it thought that it would be enough to kill Nix with only using the [Fire Claw] skill.
Even though the dog wasn't as big as Nix, it had reached 7 meters big, and it looked really similar to a rottweiler dog, but its body was filled with wound marks.
The only difference except for its size was probably there were dark fires burning in its legs, resulting in it always leaving a burnt mark wherever it went.
In response to the dog's attack, nix immediately also swung its right claw as he used [Ice Claw], aiming to intercept the dog's attack.
As the difference in strength between them was huge this time around, Nix's Ice Claws immediately penetrated the dog's paw, leaving a big, deep gash in it before flying it back as the difference in strength was a bit more than doubled.
The dog had taken aback, as it didn't expect that Nix's growth in strength was significant.
Blood started to spill out of its paw, and it immediately became enraged instead of wary.
As its name suggests, the dog had indeed a crazy personality.
No wonder that it had a lot of wound marks across its body since the dog was this aggressive.
Looking at the dog that was shocked by the result of one clash, Nix immediately took advantage of it as he cast his skills [Ice Spike] and [Ice Breath] at the same time.
Together with ten big Ice Spikes around 5 meters each emerging above him, he opened his mouth while releasing a wave of Ice breath, which made the surroundings temperature drop significantly.
When ten big Ice Spikes emerged above Nix, the dog instantly noticed the danger, and it also decided to use its [Blood Ignition].
As the dog became stronger instantly too, Nix was informed of the dog's new information so that Nix could know the comparison details between their strengths.

Looking at the dog's new information, Nix felt relieved as he thought that he would be in danger when it also used its [Blood Ignition].
After the dog had become stronger, it immediately used its [Fireball] skill, creating a huge 20-meter fireball to intercept the incoming attack.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted from the place where their skills collided, resulting in a lot of steam being made and spreading in the surroundings.
…
Meanwhile, when Nix and the dog had started their fight, the atmosphere between Dante and the Fire Lion became intense instantly.
However, neither of them was making a move as they looked at each other with an intense gaze.
Lyra, who was hovering at the sky on its magic staff, looked in the direction of Nix's battle, assessing their situation as she was also in a difficult position because her focus was also still on trapping the Foxes.
"Fortunately, the Ice Dragon seemed to be in an advantageous position." Lyra sighed in relief when she saw that Nix's situation was pretty good compared to their situation where they needed to face three Peak-level GrandLord Rank Beasts at the same time.
At this rate, her mission would be successful since she was ordered to only buy time until the backup arrived here.
Unfortunately for her, the moment she heard the clash between Nix's and the dog's skill, the Fire Lion immediately roared loudly while using its [Lion's Roar] skill to boost its strength a little bit and charged towards Dante.
"Roar!"
Looking at the lion who charged at him, Dante glanced at Lyra and nodded, asking for her cooperation as he wouldn't be able to fight against him by only using [Blood Ignition] on the Demon's blood essence.
Lyra then nodded her head as she raised her other hand, preparing to use her skills to help Dante in his fight.
When the Lion had arrived in front of Dante, it swung his left paw, which had been covered by Fire Claws, aiming to tear Dante apart at once.
The Lion was around 10 meters big, so by swinging its left claw alone, it had already covered more than enough to attack in an area since only one of its claws that was covered with [Fire Claw] skill was even bigger than Dante himself.
Dante didn't dodge the attack because he had made a plan with Lyra.
According to the plan, she would block the lion's attack while Dante would attack using all of his strength immediately afterwards.
However, an unexpected situation suddenly happened as the Foxes went all out using their [Blood Ignition] and attacked the prison with all of their strength.
Their strength immediately doubled, and their attacks had almost successfully destroyed Lyra's [Ocean Prison] skill.
If not because Lyra suddenly went all out too to enhance the prison's defense at the last moment, the prison would have definitely been destroyed by their attacks.
Lyra's action was not without paying a price because Lyra was supposed to defend the lion's attack, and since Lyra didn't defend its attack, Dante could only make a simple defense by blocking the lion's attack with his sword using both hands, one on the hilt and the other on the blade.
Dante bounced back from the collision and hit the tree 50 meters away, resulting in his left hand's bones being broken immediately from the impact.
Because when he was thrown away and before he hit the tree, Dante thought quickly and decided to sacrifice his left hand, as he assumed that if the one that got hit from the impact was his back, the result would have become worse in his opinion.
Despite his efforts, several of his ribs still fractured from the impact.
