Chapter 21: The Shadow of the Dragon

From the south gate of Taiyan City to the vicinity of the main palace, there are only a few zombie skeletons scattered around, and even the bone birds are nowhere to be seen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But the streets were full of dead bodies and blood of all kinds, and the streets were dyed red, with knights, priests, and ordinary people.

It's a purgatory-like scene.

Beneath the broken walls, Leo spotted a familiar face, the same vendor who had sold him the magic crystals yesterday, lying on the ground covered in blood, looking terrified, with several severed hands of skeletons stuck in his body.

ā€œćƒ»ćƒ»ćƒ»ā€

Leo slowed down, his sword gripping his hand tightened, and his heart was a little heavy.

Power can easily spiral out of control, especially when driven by a fragile heart.

The pitch-black canopy suddenly rolled up, a faint blue light overflowed, and several arrows with green light shot out of the black clouds, plunging into the soil in front of Leo, the tail of the arrows trembling slightly.

He was taken aback, these arrows were very fast, and if they were aimed at him beforehand, he would probably be injured.

There was a faint shout of slaughter ahead, and the sound of explosions, and several arrows flew out, but there was no blue light, and they fell to Leo's feet.

One is an arrow with sharp peaks, and the other is a few lines that look like the earth.

As Leo frowned and pondered, some people ran out of the black mist in the distance, chasing the armored skeleton warrior behind him.

And the person who ran out, it seems, is also a female elf with a bow?

"Hey, the one up front, come and help!"

Luna was in a hurry, and the spatial punctuation point prepared in advance was cut by Trim, and the originally assigned teams and formations were scattered at once, and they were ambushed by high-level necromancers, and the black fog had turned into a chaotic battle.

Finally ran out, she didn't even have time to find Storm Lionheart's teammates, and finally saw someone, so she asked for help without thinking.

But when she looked closely, she was disappointed to find that it was just an ordinary human.

"Forget it, run away..."

Luna, who had already run over, looked at Leo, who was motionless, and shouted anxiously.

The next moment, her pupils shrank into needles.

With the eyesight and reaction of the elven marksman, he could only catch a vague shadow, and ordinary people could only see flickering sword light when they looked at it.

She was moved to the skeleton warrior at an incredible speed by the guy who was an ordinary person at the beginning.

But it was a full three skeleton warriors, second-level necromantic creatures, dressed in hard bone armor and armed with bone giant swords, and their combat effectiveness was even stronger than that of second-level warriors.

The three skeleton warriors suddenly froze, the red flames in their eyes flickered slightly, and the giant sword in their hands slashed mercilessly towards Leo who suddenly appeared.

"Danger! Damn, can't catch up. ā€

Luna bit her lip, her eyes widened, and her right hand quickly removed three arrows, pulling the bow away smoothly, but it was obviously too late.

No sooner had she fired three arrows that glowed green, the three greatswords had already slashed, and the undodging attack enveloped Leo.

To her shock again, the three greatswords stopped, or more precisely, were blocked by something.

When she looked closely, it was a shield that glowed with blue light.

The incredible speed was on display once again, as well as the sword light pouring down like flowing water.

This man is strong, and this thought came to her mind.

"Dangdang!"

"Huh?"

Leo was a little surprised.

His knight's sword slashed into the skeletal warrior's neck, but it only cut in half, and instead of completely severing the head, the knight's sword jammed into it.

The skeleton warriors took a step back and raised their useless greatswords again, intending to strike more powerfully.

But three arrows of glittering green light swept in like a storm, and with a slight whistling sound, exploded on their heads.

The green wind element suddenly surrounded the skeleton warriors, binding them to a sturdy knot.

"Now is the time! Get out of there! ā€

Luna exhaled lightly, finally catching up, but the next moment Leo's actions made her eyes widen.

Out of nowhere, he pulled out a new knight's sword and slashed the chains of wind that surrounded him, and in an instant the wind elemental dissipated, and the skeleton that broke free let out a low ripple.

The chains of wind on the other two skeletons dissipated, and their swords fell.

Oh my God, is he crazy?

Luna thought like this, her mind full of disbelief, the slash she had just failed just now, why continue?

The next moment of development answered her question, and a faint sword light swept through, and an undetectable sound of breaking the air sounded.

[Thrust] + [Small Arc Slash], this is the sharpest slash he can make so far.

The surrounding black fog was blown away by the stirring wind in an instant.

The ordinary knight's sword cleanly slashed the three skeleton warriors in half, and their broken bodies were still wriggling on the ground.

"Bang bang."

Leo smashed their heads directly, and as the soul fire dissipated, the wriggling bodies became stiff.

The situation was turned upside down in an instant, and Luna fell directly into a stupor.

And behind her, the coalition forces that escaped together were also completely shocked by such moves.

It's so strong that it's almost unbelievable, what kind of sword skill is that?

Glancing at Luna and the coalition forces, Leo pulled out the jammed knight's sword, held the two swords, and walked into the black mist.

"Luna-sama, won't you stop him?"

"Maybe it's the secret weapon of the coalition."

Luna smiled wryly at the other people's questions.

To be honest, that kind of strength is close to a fourth-level warrior, and even if she has the heart to stop it, she can't succeed.

"Luna!"

An unexpected voice suddenly came, and Luna turned her head in surprise.

The warrior with the giant sword looked surprised and rushed with his group.

It was Adonis and his party, who bypassed the dark main palace and successfully found Luna's location according to the guidance of the elven pendant.

"Adunis."

Luna smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

As a mercenary, she naturally didn't have any need to participate in the coalition forces, but Storm Lionheart was still in Taiyan City, so she gave up the mission of going out with Nortons and directly joined the coalition forces of the two cities.

At the same time, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came from the south gate.

On a mission to the Blue Pyroxene Mountain, the knights of Taiyan City, dressed in silver-white armor, returned under the leadership of Nortons.

Nortons, who was in the lead, was sweating profusely and looked very anxious, apparently rushing back without stopping.

After dismounting, he glanced coldly at Luna.

"Mercenary, huh."

Glancing at the main palace shrouded in black fog in shock, he waved his hand back decisively, and rushed towards the black mist with the returning knights of Taiyan City.

The black mist rolled strangely, and unlike the previous rolling, this time there was no shouting and killing.

"Stop! Get out of there! ā€

Nortons' heart was alarmed, and his body retreated, and he shouted sharply.

The knights who rushed straight forward next to him turned their heads and looked at him in confusion, it was too late.

The huge white bone tail swept out of the black mist without warning, knocking the rushing knights upside down and flying out, vomiting blood.

The first few knights were directly pierced by the sharp barbs on the bone tail, and blood splattered.

Looking at the knights who fell to the ground and groaned, Nordons' face turned pale.

Adonis and his party wanted to follow, but they were a little scared at this time.

"It was..."

Adonis asked, surprised.

"It should be, a huge necromantic creature."

Luna's eyes were solemn and she said slowly.

After the giant tail appeared, everyone suddenly realized that the black fog that had been shouting and killing had become very quiet, and it was very weird, slowly spreading, as if it had directly swallowed the main palace.

"Oops, the coalition doesn't seem to be moving."

Luna's face turned pale, and a terrible thought crossed her mind.

The earth-shattering roar erupted in the deepest part of the black mist, like a terror buried deep in the abyss, a feeling gushing out in an instant.

Several layers of sound waves visible to the naked eye spread out regularly, and the diffuse black mist distorted and dissipated at once, slightly revealing the outline of the main palace building.

But countless smoke and dust behind the black fog rushed out in an instant, enveloping the group, and they also felt countless flying pieces of rubble and mud.

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

"Damn, a lot of smoke."

"I can't look down on things."

Everyone coughed and waved their hands, trying to push the smoke away.

The smoke and dust cleared a little, and hovered on the very top of the main palace, that is, in the deepest part of the black clouds, there was a huge figure, about six or seven meters high, from which the destructive roar came from.

Only the general outline of its body could be seen, and it had a pair of huge wings that spread out, and it seemed that the slightest movement would roll up a hurricane and shatter the crumbling main palace into countless stones.

There are also two particularly striking spots of scarlet color in the black sky.

It was a crimson flame that burned constantly, and it was easy to see that it was full of majesty.

Of course, this majesty is not a so-called emotion.

That's real, from the higher species, the feeling of pressure exerted on the lower species.

An innate and ineffable power.

It's called Long Wei.

There are almost no historical documents about dragons in the kingdom of Astaire, starting from the Holy Calendar, including the royal court, the Moon God Lord's Guild, and other super-first-class forces, even they have never seen what dragons look like. Regarding the circulation of dragons, the scholars of Astaire debated and collected evidence fiercely.

It has been rumored that traces of dragons have appeared in the country of Astaire, some in the Great Desert in the east, some in the Ice and Snow Saintess Peak in the south, and even in the Central Imperial City.

It's ridiculous.

Therefore, the existence of dragons is an illusory story for many people.

But at this moment, seeing the shadow of a dragon with his own eyes, even if it is a bone dragon, is enough to shock people beyond measure.

"Your chest is tight, are you okay Luna?"

"It's okay, the others don't seem to be able to take it anymore."

The genuine dragon power almost overwhelmed Adonis and his party, and Luna was an elf, and her face was slightly better.

"Is this a dragon?"

Nortons said on his knees, clutching his chest, and struggled to look up.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the bone dragon raised its huge head and opened its abyss-like jaw, as if it was about to swallow the sky.
