If the other party is floating in the air or hiding in a temporarily created dimension layer somewhere, he really doesn't have any good way to deal with it.
But if they're hiding deep underground wrapped in soil, they've undoubtedly entered his home turf, and he has ten thousand ways to solve the problem.
"Buzz!"
A yellowish-brown light abruptly rises in the forest.
A concentration of magic particles can be seen, rippling outward from the center of the lizard's horn, covering its entire body.
The ground, once covered with gravel and grass stems and difficult to dig even with an iron shovel, was incredibly hard. Now it feels as soft and sticky as a marsh, and the large-bodied lizard dives into it as if jumping into water, leaving only a slowly contracting, mysterious hole in its place.
It's all mud and rock, not the desert habitat of the lizard its body is attached to, so its moving speed is still slightly slower than it would be on land.
However, the light spot in his perception representing the adventurer's position has already overlapped, eliminating the need for further searching.
Dodd moves straight downward.
Unexpectedly, the hiding place of this lone surviving adventurer seems especially deep. Even with his speed, after digging in the soil for so long, there has been no significant find.
He finds it strange.
But after thinking for a while, he considers it normal.
Among adventurers who get entangled in Secret Realms, there are undoubtedly some who can move freely underground. If it were truly so easy to find, this task wouldn't fall to him.
Thinking this in his heart, he suddenly senses that the soil below him, originally soft like muddy water under his magical influence, abruptly hardens, slowing his movement.
Dodd, however, is not disappointed; his lizard face, human-like in expression, reveals a trace of joy.
"Here we go!"
The sudden environmental change surely has a reason, and at this time, it is naturally connected to the adventurer likely hiding deep underground.
Thinking of this, Dodd instinctively speeds up the soil excavation.
Underneath the ground, the commotion from such actions is hard to conceal. Better to speed up and attack directly before the adventurer realizes it than cautiously tiptoe and get detected.
As Dodd predicted, just two more minutes of digging further down, he finally discovers the hiding place of the cowardly and cunning surviving adventurer.
"Boom..."
The soil under the sharp claws suddenly empties, turning into tumbling loose dirt.
Bright and warm light instantly floods into the tunnel Dodd excavated, making him instinctively squint his eyes.
When he opens them again, what comes into view is an indescribably dazzling gold.
He doesn't even have time to think and summarize what he sees; upon arriving at his destination, the air in the spacious lair, hot and with a strong sulfur smell, rushes into his nostrils.
Buzz—
An invisible, colorless, indescribably overwhelming pressure suddenly envelops him.
It's like some high-level creature from the top of the food chain, suppressing those weak beings that can't even be termed "prey" through its innate dominance.
At this moment, Dodd feels as if the air around him is being evacuated, his heart seeming to stop beating.
His consciousness shatters instantly, and his thoughts drift like willow catkins blown by the wind, unable to concentrate into a solid idea, his mind a blank, his soul seemingly out of body.
This is a sensation Algae Scale Dodd has never experienced before in his life.
He instinctively twists his neck, aiming his solidified lizard eyes downward towards a huge would-be golden lair.
What appears is a sprawling mountain range covered with reddish-brown scales, snaking and undulating.
The sight might feel exaggerated, but having been completely overwhelmed by the Dragon's Might, Dodd actually feels this way.
Pupils contract abruptly!
"Dragon! A Red Dragon!"
At this moment, the survival instincts from his demon body and the longing for transcendent elevation from his Dragon Descendant soul intertwine.
"Just one step away... only the last step remains..."
"I can't die here! This can't end like this!"
In panic at the sudden encounter with a dragon, Dodd eagerly uses his trump card.
A layer of intensely condensed yellow light emerges, accompanied by the fierce vibration of the horn on his forehead, enveloping his body surface.
