Chapter 0246: Battle of the Dragons
In the eyes of the indigenous beings of all physical planes, dragons are super predators at the top of the food chain.
If there were any demon hunters in the past who doubted this, then today's human-dragon battle will tell you how correct this statement is with a bloody reality!
When a row of five green dragons swooped down from the sky with a sharp roar, and then ploughed a path of death on the ground with terrifying dragon breath, while the dense array of arrows of humans was never able to help each other, how great was the despair in the hearts of human beings!
Due to its long-standing friendship with the Dragon's Nest, Scandre has been restless for thousands of years, not only does it have no walls, nor does it have defenses such as bed crossbows or catapults that threaten dragons. Therefore, in the face of the dragon's extinction dragon breath attack, the well-equipped palace guards had no choice but to flee in all directions, and then die a painful death in the billowing green smoke.
The only thing that can inflict damage on the dragons is the furious sword skills of the high-ranking knights.
It's a pity that when many law-breaking knights took advantage of the first few waves of dragons to dive to the lowest point, they all snorted with their berserk sword skills, and the subsequent waves of dragon attacks consciously focused their attacks on them.
In the end, the magic resistance of the Spellbreaker Knight still couldn't withstand the dense attacks of the dragons.
A large area of wind poison breath, coupled with a short, rapid spew of acid, cleared out the high-ranking knights who were mixed with the guards one by one.
As for the four Radiant Knights, they were inseparable from the 3rd Order Green Dragon Racio on the platform in the square in front of the palace, and they couldn't spare a chance to help their companions and subordinates in a miserable situation.
Of the four Radiant Knights, only two took the Violent Knights' route. The increase in their body brought by the rune energy made their strength skyrocket, which allowed them to threaten the Tier 3 Green Dragon in a melee attack. The other two Radiant Knights focused more on speed and skill, which gave them more agility, but also made it difficult for them to break through the green dragon's tough scales in hand-to-hand combat.
The four Radiant Knights roamed around the massive body of the third-order green dragon Lacio like a marquee, dodging the opponent's terrifying maw bites, ferocious wing slaps, and terrifying long-tail flicks. Only when the companion has attracted the attention of the green dragon will someone rush forward and imprint the most violent sword skills on the weak point of the green dragon's body.
Regardless of whether the attack can be successful, the attacker must exit the green dragon's attack range as quickly as possible, otherwise the next swift counterattack of the green dragon Lasio, whether it is breathing, biting, grabbing, or tail sweeping, is not something that the Radiant Knight can withstand.
There are two main ways for green dragons to breathe, one is a large area and a long period of poisonous fog breath, which is also their favorite choice when diving attacks. In close combat, the Green Dragon can also attack enemies with a rapid spitting of acid venom.
Although the range of this acid venom spray is not wide enough, it is better than being short and fast, and the attack power is not weak. Within a range of twenty or thirty meters close, this kind of breath, which is both strong acid and highly poisonous, does not dare to be hard-connected even with the defense and magic resistance of the Radiant Knight, otherwise it will be the end of flesh and blood erosion and scorched bones.
It was precisely because of so many great killing weapons that the furious Lacio dared to land on the ground and fight with the four powerful Radiant Knights with his clumsy body.
It had only been a quarter of an hour since the battle, and seven or eight inch-long wounds had already appeared on the huge body of the green dragon, and the armpit on its right side had also been slashed into flesh and blood by the berserk sword technique, and a patch of dark green dragon scales had been blown away, revealing a huge bloody mouth.
Although such an injury may seem terrifying, it can only be regarded as a moderate injury on the body of a strong and powerful dragon!
And two of the four Radiant Knights have also retired from the battlefield.
One was whipped in the chest by the tail of the green dragon, and although he blocked it with a long sword, the violent force still caused his sternum to burst and vomit blood. The other was directly eliminated by the acid venom and his right arm was completely eliminated, and he could no longer hold a long sword.
Even the remaining two were scarred, tired and panting, and looked like they were barely supporting.
There is no way, the dragon has always been proud of the world with its powerful physical strength and terrifying magic resistance, and their strong strength gives it the ability to fight against strong enemies beyond the ranks. Therefore, the 3rd Order Furious Green Dragon in front of him actually already has a combat power no less than that of an ordinary 4th Order.
However, the four Radiant Knights are only 2nd order, so let them fight with 4th order powerhouses with their flesh and blood, and to have such a result is also the result of their desperate death!
For a time, on the top of Mingsu Mountain, in the entire palace, there were the terrible wails of human guards and the sharp wind howls brought by the dragon's high-speed dive, the crowd of people running away with their heads hugged everywhere, the scorched black earth left behind by the invasion of the dragon's breath, and the scattered dry bones of human beings and the terrible green liquid were even more shocking.
And on the palace walls, palace roofs, towers, and avenues, you can see the corpses of guards whose bodies have been dissolved everywhere!
The three of Grim, who hid in the side hall and looked at the tragic situation outside, naturally had different tastes in their hearts. As natives of the original plane, Cobalt Blue and Huahua looked at the palace guards who were slaughtered, and they couldn't help but feel a trace of indescribable sadness in their hearts!
This is actually one of the most common mindsets in the plane world!
The inherent cognition of wizards, only the humans in the wizarding world can barely be regarded as the same race because they are the origin of their own bloodline. The humans of the rest of the world are nothing more than a bunch of humanoids in the eyes of wizards.
This situation is somewhat similar to the online games in the previous life on Earth, where wizards were a group of intruder-on players, and the local natives were just human-looking NPCs. Therefore, slaughtering such natives, the sorcerers really did not have the slightest burden in their hearts.
Originally, Grim thought that it would be difficult for him to cross the threshold in his heart, but now he is watching the otherworldly humans being slaughtered by the dragons, and his mood is calm, as if he is just watching a fantasy drama in the other world. This made him sigh secretly, the tempering of the wizarding world in the past few years has indeed changed him a lot!
Seeing that the time was ripe, Grim did not dare to slack off, and stretched out his hand to draw dark red runes in front of him out of thin air. When a flaming strange rune was fully generated, Grim pursed his lips and blew it, and the rune disappeared in an instant.
Then Grim pulled out another strangely shaped orb and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Alright, the rune seal on your books has been lifted!" Grim looked back and said lightly, "Say hello to Prophet Mars for me." ”
With that, he no longer waited for the response of the two native wizards, pushed the door out, and strode towards the distant hall.
"How's it going?' Is there a response from the Prophet?" the Cobalt Blue Wizard couldn't help but tilt his head and asked, "Don't let that wizard trick us!"
The Flowery Wizard held his forehead with his right hand, closed his eyes and cast a spell for a long time, and finally opened his eyes and nodded: "The witchcraft seal has indeed been lifted, Lord Prophet, let us go back immediately!"
The cobalt blue wizard nodded silently, looked at the distant figure of the terrible wizard, turned around and began to retreat with his companions along the way they came.
They weren't here to help Grim, but to "protect" him from anything else before he lifted the rune seals on the witchcraft books. And the agreement between the two sides was completed at the moment when the dragons attacked.
Prophet Mars used his wits to help Grim distract most of the Radiant Knights, and if he couldn't kill Edward VII successfully, it was only because he was too weak to blame the Prophet.
…………
It's still the beautiful and spacious sleeping palace.
The closed door of the palace was suddenly slammed open by a stumbling figure.
The visitor was dressed in the glorious knight's armor of the Radiant Knight, which was covered with terrible traces of the corroded venom of green dragon acid. The mask armor had obviously also been violently impacted by external forces, and it had been somewhat twisted and deformed, and the exposed skin was also covered in a large pool of blood, making it difficult to identify it for a while.
The two glorious knights guarding the main hall were startled, and at the same time drew their rune swords, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the clothes of the comer.
They rushed forward, and just as they wanted to hold on to their companion, they heard the other man's hoarse voice shouting, "Go to the rescue...... Go ......."
Before he could finish speaking, the comer had fallen to the ground, his head bowed, and he had apparently passed out.
"The battle must be critical ahead, otherwise the Lord would not have sent someone back to ask for help. I'll take a look, you stay here and continue to protect His Majesty!" the slightly older Radiant Knight immediately made a decision, briefly explained a few words, got up and took a few law-breaking knights and hurried out of the palace and went straight to the place where the fighting was most intense.
The Radiant Knight who was left behind was anxious as if a hundred claws were scratching his heart, but he could only force it down. Immediately, he was again attracted by his companion who had fallen to the ground.
As high-ranking knights, although their mental power is not as strong and sharp as that of the spellcaster, it is far beyond ordinary people. The aura of any companion can be directly distinguished with just a slight contact. However, today is very strange, the "wounded" lying in front of him can clearly perceive the familiar breath, but he can't determine the identity of the person who came for a while.
Could it be that the dragon had cast some strange spell on him?
While raising his companion's body in confusion, he pulled the other party's body, and just as he was about to take off the wounded's distorted helmet, there was a pain in his abdomen, as if a hot iron bar had been stabbed directly into it.
He lowered his head in surprise, only to find that the injured man's right hand was knotted with muscles and flesh, red like fire, and was stabbing viciously into his stomach, and seemed to be struggling to advance into the depths.
And the next moment, a large burst of fire burst into flames.
A terrifying fire demon was resurrected in his arms!
