Act 150 The dragon over Rusta
Every time Aloz flapped his wings, the pectoralis major muscle connecting the contours of the two wings vibrated vigorously, stretching the long tendons and wing membranes to descend to produce airflow, and then the pectoralis minor muscles from the keel protrusion suddenly contracted, pulling the wing surface up to generate lift, and the muscles covered with golden dragon scales were like snakes, each contraction and expansion provided thousands of pounds of force.
The four-headed dragon crossed the center of the storm like four straight lines.
She swayed her massive head in the murky storm, her long horns shaped like blades cutting through clouds of black smoke, and a golden wheel of flame in her eye swept across the uneven ground with the precision of a radar wave, leaving nothing hidden in the chaos visible.
Gone is the once thriving area of millions of people, but now in Aloz's eyes there is only a huge crater that stretches from Kuruk in the east, to the middle of the Cloak Hills in the south, to the Hazel Mountains in the west, and to the southern foothills of the Ludwig Mountains in the north.
Aloz's gaze swept over the scorched forests on the edge of the catastrophe, tens of thousands of acres of woodland turned to ashes in an instant, and now only the bare and charred trunks stood on the barren land, shrouded in a thick black storm, and the forest was littered with charred corpses of animals, because their tiny creatures had been extinct, so these corpses had not yet been degraded.
The occasional flash of purple thunder and lightning in the sky reminded them that time was still running out of this world, but otherwise it was a truly dead world, without any signs of life, except for the obnoxious crystal-like lifeforms in the heavens and on the ground.
A cluster of crystals that looked like gargoyles suddenly burst out of the storm ahead, and it let out a sharp chirp that seemed to resonate with crystals. Then he flapped his two pairs of wings and pounced in this direction, and the upper and lower jaws of the lens bit Aloz's upper arm bone.
But to no avail, as a golden dragon, Aloz didn't care about such a weak attack, and she slammed into it, her wing bones slamming into the monster's upper and lower jaws, smashing its head into pieces. The crystal clusters, which had lost their breath of life, quickly swirled and fell to the ground.
But the strange screams rang out, and dozens of such monsters were coming out of the storm and rushing in this direction.
"Stay in formation!"
Aloz commanded with a look of majesty, though in a somewhat childish voice.
These are just cannon fodder, and I don't know what they are protecting in the central area, but the dragon's power is far from comparable to that of low-level crystal clusters, and it is an asymmetrical war unfolding in the sky.
The dragons didn't even have to exert any strength to pass through the horde, fangs and claws tearing through the crystalline lines and they fell like dumplings; There's a show-off guy who spews fire. The golden dragon's breath ignited the sky like magma, and the crystal monsters instantly turned white and exploded like countless shards of glass in the heat.
"We're getting closer to that thing......"
Leaving the scattered crystal clusters far behind, Aloz's gaze swept across the cloud-heavy sky in front of her, this was the second time she had reconnoitred in this direction, closer than the last time.
Something seemed to be interfering with magical vision in the clouds, and she knew there was another group of dragons within a hundred miles, but they had lost track of each other.
Earlier in the morning, the White Dragons of Auratai had lost two of their companions here. Each dragon is a precious fighting power, and Lord Owenloth has already sent air power in this direction three times. Trying to find a missing kind.
But Aloz had a vague sense that they were already unlucky.
She wondered in her mind what the crystal cluster was capable of affecting the dragon, the spatial rift in the direction of Ruthta was not enough to put the mid-level and above crystal cluster into Vauld, and at the moment in this battle, these strange monsters were not as threatening to the dragon as the harsh weather.
"Flofa, let's try a little closer. I always felt like there was something in the clouds. ”
The silver dragon that was following behind Aloz immediately rose in height and answered this sentence with action, the two black dragon Lori who followed them were still underage, so naturally they had no opinions.
The four-headed dragon began to hover over the cloud near the center of the crater, in the center of the storm. The storm did not stop at all, and the black smoke clouds formed a huge vortex here, and the spiral arms swept over a range of hundreds of kilometers every few minutes.
Humans simply can't get a foothold in such air currents, but they don't have much effect on dragons.
"Ahead."
Flofa suddenly opened her mouth in a rare way.
Aloz immediately became nervous, the silver dragon was the best of the dragons, she knew that Flofa must have noticed something, and a moment later, a circle of ripples appeared in her magical vision.
The center of the ripples was to the southwest of the cloud, a few hundred feet higher than theirs, and it was so fast that the moment they spotted the other, they immediately turned to their eleven o'clock direction, and swooped in a tangential manner down the predetermined course in which they were heading.
Obviously, the other party also found out about them.
"It's not crystal clusters, they're faster, be careful!" Aloz reminded as she suddenly rolled over and staggered with Flofa, several pitch-black creatures slashing out of the storm above her, pulling out a few streaks of black smoke and sinking into the clouds below the dragons.
However, the smoke did not stop the dragon's magical vision, and Aloz could clearly see that the objects had circled under the clouds and then chased after them.
"Flofa, part!" The little female dragon uses magic to remind her mate, and the dragon's spouse is often the closest partner to each other, and the silver dragon girl immediately understands what her lover means, and she swings her tail to change her balance, and turns sideways to distance herself from Aloz.
The two dragons immediately separated, one left and one right.
Aloz took the opportunity to look back, and the black creatures had been turning their mobility into a circle and then biting tightly, and she saw that they were several beetles with their open shells and their wings vibrating rapidly.
"Nightmare Worms...... Aloz immediately found out the names and habits of these creatures from the dragon inheritance, she couldn't help but change her face slightly, Nightmare Worms are rare dusk species, they have also resurrected.
She plunged into the clouds below, lowering her altitude to provide a chance for her mate, and several nightmare insects immediately caught up, but Aloz sensed the distance of Flofa as she led the fools forward, and the two dragons separated and circled in circles, pulling two arcs that quickly approached each other.
The two arcs intersected at some point in time, and the silver dragon's outstretched wings slashed behind Aloz like a sharp blade, flying past the nightmare insects, tearing them apart.
Then they swapped places with each other and did it again.
"Go help them!"
After clearing the 'tail', Aloz immediately turned back and flew in the direction of the two Lori black dragons, for the two underage little ones, she couldn't rest assured.
Although she herself has only just passed the rite of passage, as a generation that has experienced the battle of the Sages, her combat experience is far superior to that of the little ones born in peacetime.
But immediately there was a terrible scream from behind the clouds.
Aloz's face changed, and she and Flofa bypassed the cloud wall, just in time to see one of the black dragons fall to the ground under the siege of the nightmare.
Her spouse let out a terrible scream, and could not even bother to fight, and swooped down in that direction in great anxiety.
"Don't go, come back, she's hopeless!" Aloz was so anxious that his eyes were about to burst into flames.
But it was at this moment that she saw a scene that she would never forget.
I saw that in the cloud in the center of the battlefield, the clouds suddenly parted heavily, revealing an extremely black object, which was a round regular sphere, like a black hole hanging in the center of the battlefield, and countless dense purple lightning bolts were climbing up along the black sphere - yes, upward, like a waterfall flowing backwards.
And the moment the black sphere appeared, a black pillar of light penetrated the body of the black dragon Lori, who opened its mouth and fell to the ground.
"Melly!"
"Flofa, run separately!"
Aloz's heart throbbed, a deep sense of crisis surged in the depths of her heart, and her golden eyes saw that after the clouds dispersed, countless dense black dots were flying in the direction of the East Mez battle line—they were crystal clusters and nightmare insects, more than ten times more numerous than the total number of crystal cluster armies she had seen in the past three days.
But by this time, it was too late to escape, and a terrifying suction suddenly appeared in the center of the black hole, which did not allow her to resist Flofa, and pulled them in that direction alive, no matter how much Aloz struggled, it could not change the reality that they were getting closer and closer to the thing.
The little female dragon gritted her teeth and called on Lord Owenloth over and over again in her heart, hoping that the near-god dragon could help her at this time, after all, the latter had sent the latter to scout here, but she soon found out in despair that all her magical communications had been blocked by strange interference in the clouds.
At that moment, she suddenly understood how the two white dragons disappeared, and the answer was here.
It's over, this time it's dead.
The thought crossed Aloz's mind.
