Chapter 20: The Edge of Death (5)
The words of the goddess of life made Ciel, who had not fainted despite prostrations caused by the overuse of his powers, feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. What a fear it is.
"You guys, run away, run away!" Ciel, reluctantly standing up, said to the dragons, "Now you have nothing to stop them!
Why would Ciel say such a thing? As a dragon, all the eight dragons present who were still alive felt very disgusted by their current behavior. Unexpectedly, as the top creatures on this continent, they could not play any role at all in this pinnacle duel, but suffered heavy losses.
The ten of them themselves were the strongest prime-aged dragons in Dragon Island, and they were also the only ten Mesozoic dragons left in Dragon Island. The Dragon Island Council sent them out because Dragon Island knew that the appearance of the Goddess of Life this time was enough to make this world possible to be destroyed because of this, so they did not hesitate to spend their blood to ensure the survival of Dragon Island, and these ten dragons in their prime came here.
It's just that even the Dragon Island Council really underestimates the goddess of life. They thought that by sending all the prime-aged dragons over, they would be able to defeat the Goddess of Life. They even hope to declare their existence to the human world that once drove them to Dragon Island by killing the Goddess of Life, so that all creatures in the human world know that the apostle is actually just a small problem, and their dragon clan is the nightmare that the human world will face in the future.
Those old guys in the Dragon Island Council are still very smart, and while sending these ten dragons out, they still let those young dragons come into contact with Nomaris and those humans on the other side. In other words, while declaring the existence of Dragon Island to the human world, he also formed an alliance with the human world to fight against the Apostles. Although this sounds very contradictory, there is no problem with the old guys of Dragon Island.
If those prime-aged dragons succeed in killing the Goddess of Life, then there is no need for these humans to continue to live in this world. As for Nomaris, who came with them, he was just like Magnus anyway, and he was not very likeable. And although Nomaris is not as strong as Magnus who has disappeared (they don't know that Magnus has been killed), in terms of human behavior, Nomaris is undoubtedly far away from Magnus. Therefore, compared to Magnus, the council of Dragon Island has always believed that Nomaris is a much greater threat than Magnus.
However, they received the news that, unlike Magnus, Nomaris had always wanted to return to Dragon Isle. I have to say that after being banished by Dragon Island, Nomaris's personality has changed a lot, and if he can be cultivated, he will still be able to become the backbone of Dragon Island in the future. It's just that for this kind of dragon clan with bad deeds, Long Dao is not too willing to accept it in his heart. Therefore, the use value of Nomaris itself is not too high.
However, as for the fate of Nomaris, Tracy, Viren, and Duke of Loathing thousands of miles away, it all depends on these dragons who fought against the goddess of life. But for now, it looks like Dragon Island will still need Nomaris to return to Dragon Island.
Why? It's not because it's a big question whether the dragons can come back now, and more importantly, even if they do come back, they won't all come back alive. The death of two prime-aged dragons is an extremely heavy loss for Dragon Island! And if you look at the current situation of losses, you will still lose even more dragons, at least one! If time drags on like this, there may even be more losses!
Even so, even if it was now to the point where they had to run, none of these dragons chose to listen to Hill's words and wanted to escape!
"What? You're going to tell us to run away?"
"Do you know what we are?"
"We are the greatest dragons in the world, and you think so contemptuously of us?"
"We, the dragons, have never been afraid of anything, and now what are the goddesses of life? We are the greatest race in the world! not traitors like her!"
Ciel's scolding of these dragons was very clear. After all, what a shameful way for such a proud race to flee for their lives now, but there is really no way for them to stay here now.
"Run!" Ciel, though he raised his arrow, did not aim at the goddess of life, who was still in the treetops, but at another place. There, the mountains and forests are still very dense. Moreover, this direction is the direction in which they fell into the trap and then escaped, but were targeted by the goddess of life!"Now, the real terrible is no longer the goddess of life, it's there, it's there! There is an even more terrifying existence, about to wake up!"
What the...
All the dragons were dumbfounded. These dragons all know what Hill is talking about as a more powerful and terrifying being than the Goddess of Life.
Just before they set out from Dragon Island and came here, the elders of Dragon Island had instructed them to say such a passage, and asked them to memorize this passage firmly at all times. Because this passage will threaten their lives at any time. Therefore, even if a small number of dragons did not take this passage to heart, there were still a majority of dragons who still remembered this sentence. After all, that's what the old men of the council said, and it was a matter of their lives.
"Either way, you must know. The goddess of life you are facing is a very powerful being. Perhaps you have survived in this world for thousands of years, and your long life has led them to think that only we dragons are the most powerful beings in the world. Yes, most of the time, we are indeed the best powerhouses and races in the world. But that's only the vast majority of the time. In other time periods, there are still some individual beings whose strength can surpass us, and even threaten our lives. Don't forget, although we are powerful, we were driven to the current Dragon Island by the lower races of that continent. And before that, we even had a whole world, and the goddess of life was one of those extremely powerful individuals. That's why we let you all go out because we don't want you to suffer losses that could have been avoided. You are the hope of the revival of our Dragon Island, so you must not be careless about the Goddess of Life! Know that this time you will face more enemies than any other enemy you have ever faced. If you are careless, the consequences will be very severe!"
"If you have any loss, it is not just you who will die. Because of your losses, it will cause our Dragon Island to suffer even more serious losses, and even cause our strength to suffer a great loss! You also know that only you ten dragons are left in our Dragon Island, and you are in the prime of life. And you are still our hope for revival! Without you, if we want to revive Dragon Island, it may be delayed for a long time, and do you know how long this long time is? That is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years! We will not be able to revive until the next group of dragons with sufficient power come of age! But no matter what, we will definitely miss the best opportunity for revival!"
"Don't think we're strong now, it's true that we're very strong as individuals. On that continent, those inferior races need at least thousands of sacrifices to defeat us before they can defeat us! However, our numbers are too small, even if every dragon is the top powerhouse in this world, it still can't avoid being overwhelmed by the tide of enemies. Therefore, never look down on any enemy. Especially the goddess of life! Otherwise, you will pay a price that you simply cannot afford!"
After these cannon-like words, no matter how much the dragons disliked such words, almost every dragon had already firmly remembered the words that were not long, but not short. So, when they saw the strange creature of the Goddess of Life, instead of laughing at the strange shape of the Goddess of Life, they agreed with the words of the elders of the council. This, this is a servant of an ancient demon god, and he was once a god who really appeared in this world!
However, no matter how much they were prepared, and with the help of the peerless powerhouse of the human world, Ciel, Lei Xi, and the exiled Apostle King, they would all suffer such heavy losses! And what was even more terrifying was that even if all ten dragons were dispatched collectively, they still had no way to defeat the Goddess of Life! On the contrary, they also lost two companions! This was not only an insult to them, but also an insult to the entire Dragon Island! And what made them even more ashamed was that it was not their dragons who could really gain the upper hand in the duel with the goddess of life, but the sea princess Lei Xi, the elf Hill, and the alien king!
And now, even though the Goddess of Life is on the verge of being defeated, they are now being asked by the elf to flee!
Needless to say, this opponent, who is more powerful and terrifying than the goddess of life, must be one of the six servants of the same ancient demon god! The elders of the council have also said about the six servants of the ancient servants and the three mysterious treasures. The six servants of the ancient demon gods, one of the weakest goddesses of life, are so difficult to deal with, let alone the servants of other demon gods!
They are afraid, they are timid, their hearts are weak. But no matter what, they chose to stay. Because, the arrogant genes in them doomed them to choose to escape like a coward. Even if their current losses have reached the point where Dragon Island is unbearable, even if Dragon Island may recover later or even thousands of years because of their loss, or even from now on, it will be completely reduced to a second-rate race due to the lack of Mesozoic power. But that doesn't mean anything, the arrogant factor in them is not destined to let them choose to escape at this time. A lowly race can choose to continue fighting here, and even a foreign race that is not part of this world in the first place can drive the goddess of life to the brink of despair, forcing her to call for help from another servant of the ancient demon god!
Yes, they are born to fly, and they can indeed choose to escape when the goddess of life is now being stared at by Jun and another servant of the ancient demon god has not yet appeared. But if they go back, they will not only lose face, but they will also fall into a huge shadow. As the most powerful individual in the world, he actually escaped in a battle! Once the news spreads, then the fate of the entire Dragon Island will suffer great losses because of their cowardice! Even greater than the loss of all their deaths!
If they die in battle, then they can still prove to the whole world with their own blood, even if they are not the opponent of the Goddess of Life in the end, but at least they, as a great race of dragons, have tried to reseal or even defeat the servants of the Old Demon God. But if they escape, then it is estimated that soon the life of the whole world will know that the dragon race, after being driven to Dragon Island, has fallen into a complete weakening and has become a cowardly race that will run away if it can't be defeated.
So, when Ciel's pale face told them that another servant of the Elder Demon God was about to appear. All the remaining healthy dragons exchanged glances and said in unison, "Elves, we won't run away. We're dragons, and we're not going to escape before the battle even begins. Even if we die, we will die in the middle of the battlefield!!"
