Volume 10: The Roar of the Raging Dragon Chapter 25: The Decisive Battle (5) (20)
Aishara woke up. [No pop-ups.]
As if she had experienced a very real dream, she slowly opened her eyes, the hazy gray in front of her was swept away by the gentle wind, some chapped lips opened slightly, and a clear air poured into her lungs, expanding, contracting again, the blood flowed again, and the vitality flowed in her body again. Listening to the sound of the bright flowing stream, my heart is quiet, for a long time, it is a feeling that I have never felt in the abyss, it is the revival of life.
Am I not dead?
But when this question arose, she was confused again, and a sleepy world made of darkness and emptiness in her drowsiness really represented death?
She fumbled all the way to her heart, and there was a slight protruding touch on her fingers, where there was a shallow scar, indicating that the past was not a dream, but a real existence.
However, this did not make her doubts less than half a point, but only added a little confusion.
What's going on?
"Are you awake?"
She looked up and saw a cloaked mage standing in front of her under the foliage, his young face full of confidence in the faint light, and behind him, stood two men wrapped in bandages, deep in the depths of their eyes a scorching green flame, condensing the power and aura of darkness, one of them holding in his hand a blade of Ness that should have been stuck in his heart, on which fine droplets of water were condensed due to the cold.
"Did you save me?" asked Aisara, surprised.
"No, it's not. The young mage shook his head, but then he nodded again, touched his chin and said, "It can also be counted......
This seemingly contradictory did not let Aisara delve into it, because what happened to her was too unbelievable, what else could not have happened?
In fact. Aishara doesn't even know herself. The banshee lord Killian had placed a patriarch inheritance mark on her body before her death, which could save her life once, originally. The latter had also considered the possibility of a failed operation to absorb the soul of the black dragon, and this arrangement was actually to keep the clan from dying out.
Ostensibly Elsara's death in the battle, in fact, Killian was trying to free her from the battle between the Monks and the Black Dragon.
However, Elsara's cleanliness should be thanked by Morgowards, which led the priests to treat the corpses of their enemies with equal respect, and they moved the corpses of the banshees to the high slopes entirely. Prepare to bury together after the battle. If not, she wasn't devoured by the dragon's breath. It was burned into a pile of ashes by the dragon flame. But if it weren't for the Undead Thief Blade, who discovered her anomaly as he passed by. Pull out the blade of Ness, and she may never wake up again.
A lot of coincidences came together. led to her new life.
"Where is the highest place here?"
The young mage looked around, lowered his head and smiled, "You should know, right?"
At the same moment, at the site of the battle between Luo Lan and Nimbast, the meteorites gradually magnified and fell in front of their eyes, they shook, trembled violently, and dissolved into the howling sound of death, and the trajectory of the atmosphere seemed to run through the heavens and the earth. The violent note was a direct force, a magically constructed weapon, and the hot body had not yet reached the ground, and the humming vibration had caused the world to shake.
"Boom!"
A puff of smoke and dust rose in an instant, and at the same time it dispersed with waves of air spreading in all directions, and the first meteorite finally fell to the ground, half-buried in the red-hot crater, and re-submerged into the earth, wisps of light smoke rising from the charred black ridges. Immediately after, more and more meteorites fell like showers, and the area they covered not only included the ground where Luo Lan and the black dragon stood, but also spread more than 100 meters away from this center, dust and mud were lifted into the air, the sand and gravel were wrapped in the air current, and some of the ancient ruins that remained on the ground also collapsed and collapsed from this blow, and it seemed that the entire St. Curd Island was also shaking.
The rain of hell didn't last long, but it was so powerful that even those standing outside the island saw the smoke and dust churning up into the sky, and they all felt the dull pressure.
"Poof!"
A hand broke through the thick layer of dust, and then a figure emerged from it, and the quicksand-like ash was still shaking off the white robe as it stood up.
Luo Lan's eyes turned, he looked around, searched for the figure of the black dragon, and made such a big move, he didn't believe that the other party was just trying to do some damage, and he should have a deeper intention.
The surrounding buildings were barely recognizable, the vegetation within a few hundred meters had disappeared, and the dense caverns were like rotten sores growing on the earth, emitting a trace of heat.
Suddenly, Luo Lan seemed to have discovered something and turned his head suddenly.
Not far away, Nimbast stood on a half-buried stone pillar in the sand, looking at him condescendingly, with an expression overlooking all beings on his face, and then slowly stretched out a hand, with contempt and coldness in his expression.
Luo Lan frowned, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was.
The black dragon smiled coldly, and the palm of his outstretched hand suddenly clenched, and the faint elemental fluctuations suddenly spread to the surroundings, and disappeared in an instant, so short that it could be almost ignored, but Luo Lan knew that something must have happened.
Sure enough, after a while, he heard a sizzling sound in his ears, and the sound seemed to be something stirring slowly.
He looked vigilantly at the empty sides, and took a step back cautiously, but his feet sank coldly, as if he had stepped on some soft mud and sand, and the whole person was sinking downward, and his heart couldn't help but be cold.
As if a gap had been opened, the huge earth elemental fluctuations leaked up from the gap under his feet.
This is...... Mias?
In Luo Lan's calculations, the black dragon might launch a fierce attack, or continue to cast powerful spells, or burst out of some abyss demonic beasts, but he definitely didn't expect that it would be so simple when it came to the end. Even magic that is easily overlooked. But he had to admit that this was the most powerful and deadly magic against himself right now.
This is barely a high-level earth-based magic spell, and even ordinary mages disdain to use it. It is considered to be a chicken rib in the middle of a chicken, because it not only requires a long preparation time, but the casting process is extremely slow, as long as you are not crippled or slow as a turtle, even after the spell is cast, you can calmly dodge, but on the contrary, if the spell is successful. Not only is the massive earth elemental exerting a huge drag on the target. Even the mire itself causes it to sink until it dies. There is hardly any way to get out on your own.
Yet there was no sign at all. How exactly does the Black Dragon do this?
To know. To turn the entire land into a mire, first of all, the surging dense fluctuations of the earth elements cannot be hidden from anyone. Even if Nimbast can instantaneously use this spell, it is impossible to violate the rules of magic and completely eliminate the fluctuation of the elements, if it can really do this, then there is no need to fight at all, and you can send yourself to hell by using this method directly as soon as you come up. "You lost. ”
The black dragon said lightly, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack at all, but looked at Luo Lan for a long time, his eyes seemed to be looking at a trapped beast that had stepped into a trap, and after a while, he smiled deeply and said: "Your advantage lies in the amazing speed, even so fast that it has surpassed me, this is indeed a big trouble, because even if you can't defeat me, I can't help you, I'm afraid this is the capital you dare to challenge, right?" Speaking of this, his gaze slowly approached Luo Lan's face: " However, your shortcomings are also in speed, as long as you limit your size, all your advantages will be gone. In the mire, you will have nowhere to dodge!"
He stretched out a fist and squeezed it hard, snorted, and said, "With your own defensive ability, it is impossible to withstand my ordinary blow." ”
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and disadvantages, once they are restrained in battle, they can master all the initiative, and all the tactics of the black dragon are aimed at targeting Luo Lan's speed. He is well aware of the physical characteristics of his opponents, and he still has the strength to use his perception skills in that closely connected battle, which shows that he has been deliberately retaining his strength, or rather, he has not fully exerted it.
Luo Lan watched his body sink slowly, he didn't dare to move, and he couldn't move, because the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
Despite this, his eyes were still full of calm, trying to find out the secret of the black dragon's technique, otherwise even if he could get out of the mire, he would not be able to cope with the next round of attacks.
Little by little, the rolled dirt separated from his feet, revealing the yellow mud like rotten liquid, which caught his attention, because the top layer of dust had not changed in any way, and was still gray-white, which meant that the mud was just covered underneath, but when was it...... With a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind, Luo Lan suddenly looked up at the black dragon as if he had a big realization, sighed, and said, "It turned out to be a meteorite!"
Nimbast was slightly stunned, glanced at him in surprise, and nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect you to see this, but it surprised me a little." ”
The role of the meteorite is not to attack Luo Lan, but to cover up the hidden methods of the black dragon, if you want to limit Luo Lan's speed, the only way to do it is through magic, and the quagmire technique is undoubtedly the best choice. However, with such a wide range of quagmire techniques on the ground, the violent fluctuations of the earth element would definitely be detected by the opponent's perception ability, but if it was hundreds of kilometers away, even a king-level master would not be able to perceive it so easily.
According to common sense, most people always think that the mud swamp technique of the earth system must be completed on the ground, but the black dragon has broken this shackle and subverted the inertial thinking.
Those flying meteorites themselves are made of mud and sand, and only a small change has been made in the process of transforming from earth elements to meteorites, that is, their shells have been transformed into solid stone, and the inside has been transformed into a large amount of saprolite, which is actually the overlap of the two magics, but it does not cost too much mana.
As early as when the black dragon stirred the dirt and flew towards Luo Lan, this magic had already begun to condense, and when it reached the highest point in the air, the mire technique had actually been completed for the most part, and the interference of the fire element on the meteorite coupled with the huge impact force that fell from the sky, no one would pay attention to the subtle changes in it anymore.
Most meteorites shatter on impact when they reach the ground. Smashed out one pit after another. And the scattered ground saprolite just fills it up, becoming a deep buried death trap, and. The mud and sand raised by the impact happened to cover it, making it impossible for Luo Lan to notice it at all.
The most critical point is that if it is interrupted in the process of casting the magic land, then the black dragon will suffer an extremely tragic backlash, but Luo Lan clearly knows that even if he knows all this in advance, he will face the meteorite coming from the sky. There's no way to stop it.
He is not only physical. Even my heart is sinking, this simple magic. There are so many traps in this.
The cast steps that were originally gathered together were split up by Nimbast and used separately. Not only is it extremely hidden. Covered in every attack, this subtle and creative magic appears to be a makeshift idea for Nimbast. This requires not only the dragon's innate ability to control demons, but also a deep understanding of magical attainments and strong self-confidence.
A ball of flame erupted from the black dragon's eyes, and he jumped up suddenly, and the power of the behemoth was condensed into the fist of the ground, and with the dragon flame that burned everything, he struck at Luo Lan, whose legs and knees had sunk into the mire.
He was confident that the punch would be able to knock the latter into a bloody mess.
"Bang!"
The black dragon's eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a soft sigh.
Instead of being smashed to pieces by this punch, Luo Lan caught his fist!
"Impossible!"
As soon as the black dragon lost his mind, a palm slashed on the major artery of his neck, although he was not injured, but his eyes suddenly darkened, and he heard a loud shout in his ears at the same time: "Light impact!"
In the roaring sound, the impact force forced the black dragon's feet into the mire, but he suddenly raised his head and stared at Luo Lan, smiled coldly, and said, "Okay, okay." ”
Luo Lan used the force of the shock to pull his body out of the mire and fall out, in the blink of an eye, he was more than ten meters away, and after landing on the ground, he rolled a few times and stood up immediately, he didn't pay attention to the embarrassed appearance of the slow dust on his body, but chuckled lightly and said, "Each other." ”
Just now, Luo Lan used an unbelievable method, when he met the black dragon's fist, he allowed the bones in his palm to shatter inch by inch, at the same time, he kept repairing the broken places, he didn't repair all the injuries at once, inch by inch, and repaired a little bit of rupture, because the light element was highly concentrated, and the healing place was not large, so it was almost restored in the moment of damage.
Shattered, recovered, shattered again, restored, the original use of dozens of times in this moment made this huge and incomparable power actually be dissolved little by little, consumed, and almost disappeared when it was transmitted to the torso, which not only had the operation skills exercised from the demon bones, but also inspired by the black dragon to divide the magic into several steps, and split a complete set of healing techniques, thus achieving this incredible effect.
If Dennis were here at this moment, we would also be amazed by his creative use of elements.
Luo Lan smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency Nimbast, if you wait until I sink above my waist just now, then I will have no choice. He gradually straightened his body, as if he didn't take the frustration that was almost in a dead end to his heart at all, and stood proudly and said: "If I judge correctly, the scope covered by the meteorite technique is just the limit that your spell can reach, and it is ......."
He looked at the black dragon, slowed down his voice and said, "Your Excellency doesn't seem to be able to launch a continuous attack after issuing a spell. ”
The black dragon's face sank, his blood-red vertical pupils shrank suddenly, and there seemed to be some light flashing inside, but he didn't get angry, but laughed incredibly, and finally looked at Luo Lan with a look at an equalizer and a real opponent, and nodded: "Wonderful, wonderful, I originally thought that only this step would solve you, but it seems that I was wrong, I underestimated my opponent too much, from this moment on, you will be the real enemy of my Nimbast." ”
Luo Lan's heart shook slightly, but most of them were excited, being regarded as a real enemy by a black dragon, a black dragon that had lived for thousands of years, no matter what, he was proud enough.
"I wonder if you can resist it next?" The black dragon slowly raised a hand, and a wave of rich earth element fluctuations suddenly surged on the earth.
For the black dragon's magic attack, Luo Lan is now extremely vigilant. Because the level of the former's spellcasting should never be measured by the usual eyes of magic. That's not only belittling the other party, but also killing yourself.
However, doubts filled his mind. It can be seen that this magic has not undergone any preparation and chanting, and the power caused by the simple instantaneous spell is often extremely limited, and he looked at the other party with a solemn face, the more he could not see through the technique, the more dangerous it was.
A wicked smile appeared on Nimbast's face, and he spat out a few words, "Earth Splitting Technique!"
"Boom". It's not just the area where Luo Lan is standing. Even the ground under the black dragon's feet suddenly collapsed, and the stones and earth sank downwards at the same time. The center of the ruined square seems to have been dug out of thin air. A large circular crater was revealed.
Luo Lan's feet were suddenly filled with light elements. After landing on the ground, he rolled on the spot a few more times, and after dissipating the momentum, he stood up again and looked up. This place is more than ten meters high from the ground, because the sunset is gradually sinking, so most of the area in front of you is in shadows, and you can't see where the black dragon is.
He smiled bitterly, the Earth Splitting Technique was another high-level earth-based magic, but Nimbast used it instantaneously...... He suddenly felt that the black dragon was only magically accomplished enough to enter the ranks of the top mages.
"You must wonder how I did it," Nimbast slowly emerged from the darkness, his face gradually turning from dim to clear, "but don't worry, I will explain it to you, for this will be your grave." ”
Luo Lan took a step back, glancing at the rough pit wall.
"Here, you can't escape. The black dragon smiled slightly and said, "Because the size of this pit is exactly what my land spells can cover, in the words of you humans, this distance is my domain." ”
Luo Lan was silent, if the black dragon really had the ability to instantly send high-level spells, this would indeed become a place for him to bury his bones.
As if seeing through his thoughts, the black dragon shook his head, sneered, and said: "You humans always seem to like to treat magic and power attacks differently, this is really a stupid idea, in my opinion, the two are inseparable, as a dragon, in order to use magic to give up their own power, tens of thousands of years, only one fool has done so." ”
The combination of power and magic? Luo Lan suddenly looked up at the sky above, and couldn't help but have a shocked thought in his heart, this, could this be the strategy that the black dragon had already arranged?
Yes, it is true that there is only this explanation, for a moment, it seems that everything is connected to everything, every action and every sentence of the black dragon is formed from fragments in his mind, Luo Lan never thought that he would face such a strong opponent, such a strategically outstanding opponent, such a cunning opponent, is this the real dragon clan?
From beginning to end, the area of his battle with the black dragon had not changed much, which was actually deliberately arranged and guided by the latter, in other words, the initiative of the battle situation was always in his hands.
It's hard to imagine that Nimbast has been thinking about this step since the moment he attacked the ranks of the Monks, when he stepped on the ground to loosen the masonry of the ground, and then, the meteorite technique and mire technique he used were destroying the structure underneath the ground, and when all these conditions were met, a simple instantaneous spell could easily achieve the effect that this high-level spell in front of him could achieve.
This is the product of the perfect combination of power and magic, which can be said to be both magic and power, and the two are indeed not separated, and neither can succeed without either.
These steps are closely interlocked, one link is linked to the other, and each step will inevitably leave room for choice and back hand for the next step, and this is the real strong man! Not only is the strength outstanding, but also in the tactical arrangement has to make people look up.
Luo Lan knows how to deal with the battle in front of him, but the black dragon has fully taken into account the next steps, this is not that there is a difference in the wisdom of the two, in fact, the wisdom of the black dragon may not be as high as Luo Lan, but he is better than the latter with hundreds of years of experience, and knows how to deal with what situation, this is completely an instinctive reaction, which has been integrated into his bone marrow and blood, and there is no need to think about it anymore.
Although Luo Lan coped with every step properly, the black dragon would inevitably accumulate some advantages in every step, and these advantages were not considered to be clever tricks in a single step, and even a little redundant, but when these advantages were gathered together, they made a big step ahead of the opponent, and this step was the fatal key.
Luo Lan looked at the black dragon, his eyes were full of respect for an enemy, and he smiled: "To be able to fight with such a clever opponent as Your Excellency, no matter what the outcome of today, I will remember it for the rest of my life, and I am deeply proud." This sentence is not flattery, not begging, nor boasting, but from the heart, a heartfelt admiration for a strong man who stands on the pinnacle.
Nimbast showed a serious look, which was the respect given to a true opponent, and said solemnly: "I deeply sympathize, Your Excellency is the first person I have met in the human world in hundreds of years who can be called an opponent. He then sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that I can't give you enough opportunities to grow." ”
"Don't wait any longer. Luo Lan looked at the sky, where the afterglow was fading, and the blood-colored clouds covered the sky, and muttered, "I'm looking forward to it." "Climb ^ book ^ net, this chapter is first published by "".
