Volume 1: The Land of the Dead Chapter 159: Facing the 'Evil Dragon'

The moment he saw the image, Roger shouted, the tip of the claw had clearly passed through the curtain of illusion, and the stupid woman even stretched her neck and leaned over.

"Get out of the way! That's not an illusion!"

While shouting, Roger's body had already subconsciously flashed out quickly, and his arms were crossed in front of Linda.

"Bang !!"

The massive claws collided with Roger's tiny arms, which didn't fall as promised, and the earthy glow of the stone skin trick swirled across his arm, but while the dragon hidden in the darkness didn't use its strength, the mere first-order magic wasn't enough to help him fend it off.

However, taking advantage of the short gap created by the collision between this arm and the claw, the cyan air flow swept up the bodies of Roger and Linda behind him and quickly retreated, and the claws that lost their resistance were slightly stunned, and they were fiercely buckled into the wet ground.

Roger gently put Linda on the ground, his eyes were still staring at the place where they had just escaped, and asked in a concerned tone, "Are you okay?"

Linda looked a little dazed, eager to express herself in the task assigned by the gods, and her actions seemed a little brainless, until she saw the muffled sound of the sharp claws clasped in the mud, and she muttered stupidly, "That...... Is that a real dragon's claw? That's not an illusion, that's ....... A real dragon?"

Roger turned his back and nodded, the fact was in front of him, the dragon's unique hook-like claws carved deep furrows in the wet ground, and did not tear Linda in half as he wished, and the dragon in the shadows slowly withdrew its claws, as if trying to use this action to give others enough oppression.

Roger pressed the wound on his arm, he twitched his nose, and with the appearance of the dragon, the air began to fill the air with a vague smell, which may be the 'strange smell' mentioned by Jimmy, but what made Roger care was that this slightly irritating and comforting smell should be very familiar to him, it seems that in some long memory, this is an absolutely ordinary taste, but the long life has made him forget too much, and he needs a while to recall.......

"Click~Roar!"

Reality did not give Roger the time to recall his youth, after a strange noise, accompanied by a roar that resounded through the sky, the behemoth hidden in the darkness shook off the dust and fallen leaves on its body, and finally crouched down hideously, the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of scarlet vertical pupils, which seemed to be carved out of the most inferior red crystal, without half of the brilliance.

Immediately, accompanied by scattered and withered leaves, a large face covered with pimples and phosphorus armor appeared in front of everyone, even if it was expressionless, but it was undoubtedly the appearance of a dragon!

Roger made a gesture to soothe a panicked Linda and a restless Jimmy, who wanted to talk to the dragon, though it might be minimal.

After all, looking at the physical appearance of this dragon, it is also an adult dragon that counts more than a thousand years, although somehow, Roger has not found any traces of the reverse scales on this dragon for the time being, which is recognized as the strongest and most fragile part of the dragon's body, but this does not change the fact that Roger is a little worried when facing it.

Therefore, if you can avoid fighting, Roger still wants to try, in fact, even the most brutal black dragons can communicate with them, although they are tyrannical but not lack of intelligence, but dragons have always disdained to talk to 'small bugs' like humans.

"Honorable Lord Dragon, we have no intention of offending your majesty, and we are sorry to break into your hunting grounds. ”

Roger tried his best to make his tone humble and reverent, believe me This tone is not very common in Roger's mouth (strange), he saw that the dragon did not intend to carry out the next attack, so he bowed his body, but his eyes kept looking ahead vigilantly: "We are willing to pay some price for our recklessness in the future to your satisfaction, so I still hope that the adults can let us ......."

"Click~Boom!!"

As if tired of the chatter of the tiny insects in front of him, the behemoth figure trembling in the darkness suddenly grew into a mouth, and the metallic teeth reflected an eerie glow against the illumination.

At the same time, some small pieces of information or illogical bytes drifted into Roger's mind, they were too fragmentary for the translation system to translate for a while, but Roger had no time to settle down to translate their meanings, and the blazing dragon's breath came in an instant without warning.

"Bastard, if you don't want to be made into a barbecue, hide behind me!"

Roger, who had already been prepared, stretched out his hands forward, and the condensed scorching shield was turned on to its maximum power regardless of the mana consumption, and from a distance, it looked like a flower of fire blooming in the rain.

But this flower of flame was soon overwhelmed by the more remarkable 'sun', which was far superior to any magical effect, and the breath of the bipedal wyvern I saw a few days ago was like the gap between the fireflies and the bright moon, and the scorching shield was overloaded at the first moment of collision with it, and the magic power at any cost made the magic shield like a rock in a torrent waterfall, diverting a steady stream of deadly dragon flames in front of him.

Temporary safety does not mean anything, the mana reserves of a mere first-order magician cannot withstand this level of consumption at all, those raindrops are vaporized before they get close to the fusion area of the magic shield and the dragon's breath, the wet and muddy soil under the feet of several people is dried and evaporated and cracked in an instant, and the humus containing water produces a large amount of steam and poisonous smoke while drying and burning, and they scorch several people like a steamer.

And those flames that were diverted consumed the oxygen here in an instant, and the hurricane produced by the sharp change in air pressure rose the flames into more dangerous fire tornadoes, Linda Jimmy and Uncle Hammer stuck behind Roger, and under this kind of power, the few people behind the precarious scorching shield were like duckweed in the wind, and God knows when it will be burned.

Roger gritted his teeth, his hands had been burned by the heat transmitted by the dragon's breath through the magic shield, the blood continued to leak out of the wound and condensed into a blood scab in the next moment, all the magic in his body was frantically transformed to support the existence of the magic shield, he knew that if he lost the protection of the magic shield, he would naturally be spared if he had the initial concept, but Linda behind him would definitely turn into charcoal in an instant.

Linda ....... Beautiful jade...... Absolutely not this time!

No matter how strong the will is, but after all, it can't change the reality, as Roger's spirit and magic dried up, the scorching magic shield that maintained the lives of several people has become shaky, and Roger has already given birth to the idea of using the remaining little spiritual power to expand the concept of taking Linda away, at this moment, maybe it is really the blessing of Rast, the dragon breath spit out by the evil dragon finally faded, and the light gradually dimmed.

Against the backdrop of its unwilling roar, Roger breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Big lizard, you've been panting for a long time, it's finally my turn!"

After that, one low-level magic model after another was instantly arranged and combined in Roger's mind, and against a dragon that is super resilient and can fly, it must be forbidden or cause maximum damage to it as soon as possible.

If you can't hit the dragons hard in the first place, then with their extremely vindictive character, then you will have a hard time to eat, and many warriors in history who intended to slay dragons were consumed by life and death.

The composite magic model had been born in Roger's mind, but then he found a very embarrassing thing, in order to deal with the previous dragon breath, Roger was so nervous that he didn't notice that his magic reserves and spiritual power had been squeezed clean.

Although the mana can absorb the mana in the surrounding environment to a certain extent and recover it at a very slow rate, there is no other way to recover the mental power except meditation, even if Roger's soul strength is extremely high.

"Lord Dragon, please calm your anger a little. ”

Roger seized every time to try his best to recover his mental strength, although the effect was minimal, on the surface, he seemed very aggrieved and delayed as much as possible, "At least please tell me the reason for the adult's anger, we ......."

"Dragon!"

Just as Roger was trying to stall for time, a shrill shout suddenly came from behind him.

Roger secretly said in his heart that it was not good, after experiencing the dragon's breath just now, several people, including him, were burned by the high temperature of water vapor, and their combat strength was reduced to one person in an instant, although they themselves did not play much role in the face of the dragon.

But Jimmy still struggled to get up, even though his body was red, his epidermis was mostly necrotic, his clothes were almost red with blood, and it didn't take long for the wounds to fester, and if not treated soon, burns of this magnitude were synonymous with death in this era.

"Dragon! It's you!"

With just a glance, Jimmy recognized the behemoth in front of him as the dragon that had taken his father away years ago, and he knew immediately that he might never be able to avenge his father, which was beyond the power of humans

Panting and in a vacuum of magic release, Roger couldn't bear to see what happened to Jimmy, and he was powerless to protect him for the time being, so the dragon could turn the little fly into meat sauce with just a breath of dragon breath or a single paw.

Even though he knew this, Jimmy, who had been filled with anger, still staggered past the fainting Linda, Uncle Hammer, and the sluggish Roger, brandishing his hunting knife, which was not even sharp, and roared and charged towards the dragon, just like the fearless knight who faced the end dragon Tasia in the mythology of the Dark Age, like countless brave warriors active in the pancontinent, just like ....... Alfred's flame banner on the battlefield of the end times.

And so, the quiet rainy night was left with only a roar of rage that echoed from eternity.

"Die!"
