Chapter 17 The Core of the Illusion

The joint counterattack of Rick and several people made this water dragon instantly furious, and immediately the dragon groaned, destroying many trees, and as soon as the dragon's wings spread, the wind raged.

For a while, all kinds of water magic mixed with dragon breath swept towards a few people!

Although this dragon is a water system, but the ordinary water magic is issued by the dragon, and the power is multiplied several times, not to mention that the dragon also has its natural dragon breath, in the face of a few humans in front of it, it is already invincible!

Rick and the others had to temporarily interrupt their magic attacks, find cover, and wait for an opportunity to move again.

And Lore, who was advancing all the way, was also greatly reduced in speed due to the dragon's indiscriminate frenzied attacks, and had to deal with the dragon's water magic and talent breath at all times.

Seeing that Lore's actions were also affected, Rick gritted his teeth and shouted to the two Vickers, who were desperately trying to protect him:

"You two leave me alone!Myron, you cast long-range magic to block the dragon's attack for Loralands!Vickers!You're in charge of covering Myron!"

Wix slashed the waterspout in front of him with a sword, and then said to Rick, "But, miss, you ......"

Rick said angrily, "Do as I say! Miss Ben isn't that weak!"

Of course, Rick is not weak, from talent to strength, she is also a first-class existence in the Demon Martial Arts Academy, plus her noble status, so she has her usual arrogant and proud posture!

However, it is precisely because of Rick's noble status and pampered since he was a child, where has he experienced a real battle, in fact, Rick can still bring up the idea of fighting in the face of the dragon, which is enough to surprise the two Vickers!

However, as Ric's guards, the two Vickers are the first to protect Rick, so in the face of Rick's order, both of them are a little hesitant.

Seeing that Vickers and Myron were still hesitating, Rick was furious: "Don't you two even listen to me? I don't want to admit it, but that barbarian is the key to victory!

Wix glanced at Myron, gritted his teeth, and finally made a decision: "Okay! We will do it! Miss, you have to protect yourself!"

Rick glanced up at the dragon in the sky and said disdainfully, "You still need to say that the dragon is amazing, Miss Ben is not afraid of you!"

After Rick finished speaking, he took the initiative to leave from Vickers and the others, and Vickers and Myron were no longer obsessed with protecting Like this time, and the two moved towards Lore's side together, and soon joined Lore!

Lore looked at the two of them, and then at Rick, who was serious about fighting, and couldn't help but have a great impression of Rick.

"Please, you two!"

"Leave it to us!"

Myron and Vickers nodded, and then began to concentrate on guarding Lore's back, and Lorton, who had no worries, was greatly relieved of his pressure and rushed up the slope leading to the giant tree again!

Lore walked smoothly, but Ric was under a lot of pressure, and it was only after Myron and Vickers who were close to her that she realized the difficulty of the battle.

It's really compared, she can't even compare to Leah, who commands Nono's battle, at least Leah and Nono's fighting rhythm is very good, while defending and dodging, she can also wait for an opportunity to counterattack, and Rick, just concentrating on dealing with the dragon's attack is enough, where is there any spare strength to fight back?

Rick's forehead was already soaked with sweat, she was very unwilling, and she desperately wanted to make a decent attack, but she was completely powerless, and even suffered two water arrows because of this, if she didn't belong to the water system, her resistance to water magic was a little stronger, and the contract water spirit suffered most of the damage for her, she was afraid that she would have been unable to fight anymore!

"Miss Rick, calm down!"

Just as Rick's situation was becoming more and more dangerous, Leah's voice suddenly sounded next to it, and the attack pressure on Rick suddenly decreased.

Rick took the opportunity to turn his head to look and found that Leah had come to her side without knowing when.

While dealing with the dragon's attack, Leah still had the strength to say to Rick: "Miss Rick, you must stay calm when fighting, pay attention to the opponent's attack pattern, this dragon's attack range is too wide, so be sure to see which attacks need to be dodged and which ones don't need to be dodged!"

"Is the attack range?" Like muttered to himself, and then took advantage of Leah's help to carefully observe the battle of several people present, and found that as Leah said, they did not block every attack of the dragon, on the contrary, they directly ignored many of the dragon's indiscriminate attacks, thus making many more effective counterattacks!

Rick's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I understand!"

Rick thought of it, and immediately tried to make changes, although he was not used to it at first, but slowly he was able to look like it, and I have to say that after the battle, he can make better progress!

Ric's rhythm of attack and defense gradually became more orderly, and she even had the energy to talk to Leah.

"Little sister, you're amazing!"

This is the first time Leah has heard others praise her for her strength in combat, in the past, she was the one who was closely protected, and not so long ago, her combat performance was not even as good as Rick's!

She was able to fight like she did today because after the ruins of the ancient battlefield and the An'an incident, everyone unanimously decided to train her so that she had the strength to protect herself.

Leah was a little embarrassed: "Everyone taught me! Besides, I also want to have the power to protect my companions! I don't want to be just a little girl who is protected!"

Leah still remembers that during the An'an incident, Lore was injured, Aitch and Nolans were manipulated by An'an, and the rest of herself didn't even have the strength to protect them, and couldn't do anything but cry.

Although no one said anything afterwards, even if she exercised her, it was just so that she could protect herself when they were overwhelmed!

It was the first time Leah felt disgusted with her powerless self, and she secretly decided that she too wanted to be stronger and have the power to protect her companions.

Although Rick didn't know what Leah was thinking, Leah's words resonated with her, and she had been relying on Myron and Vickers for protection.

Rick knew that Vickers and Myron's mission was to protect her, a mission that was even higher than their own lives, and Rick had never really treated them as subordinates, and Vickers and Myron were more like her relatives than the high-minded father.

However, seeing Vickers and Myron in danger twice in a row, she was really scared!

Rick gritted his teeth and made the same decision as Leah.

Although the battle of several people was still dangerous, it gradually developed a tacit understanding, and the dragon roared again and again, but it was never able to take down these hateful humans.

By this time, Lore had reached the top of the giant tree, squinting at each of the dragon's attacks.

"Dragons?" Lore sneered, "How could a real dragon make so many ineffective attacks?"

Lore was sure in his heart: "So, where is the core of the illusion?"

Lore used his eyes to carefully observe the dragon's every move, and suddenly, Lore's eyes lit up: "Hehe!

Lore shouted, "Stop attacking!"

Although several people on the ground were puzzled, they still chose to believe it unconditionally.

As soon as the attack of several people stopped, the dragon was also stunned, and the attack couldn't help but stagnate, and when Loel saw this, three consecutive flame impacts hit directly towards the dragon's eyes!

The dragon was hit twice and was furious, and it remembered that it had been hit in the eye by such an attack before!

The dragon turned his gaze to Lore's side, and found Lore standing on top of the treetops, his sword in his right hand, covered in flames, and stretched out his left hand, hooking the dragon defiantly.

Enraged, the dragon roared in the sky and flapped its wings and charged towards Lore.

At this time, Lore was completely no longer afraid, she didn't need to be afraid of a false dragon!

The dragon got closer and closer, the giant mouth opened, and a ball of dragon breath spit out directly, but Loel was not afraid at all, with the force under his feet, the flame wings behind him spread, and flew in the direction of the dragon's breath!

The two collided instantly, and several people on the ground stared with bated breath, and when they saw Lore rushing out of the dragon's breath unscathed, they couldn't help but smile at the same time!

The dragon was startled, and when he opened his mouth, two more dragon's breaths erupted, but Lore didn't even make a defensive gesture, the so-called dragon breath was like a phantom, and it couldn't stop Lore at all.

Just as the dragon opened its mouth again, Lore's eyes narrowed, the wings behind him suddenly stirred, and his speed suddenly increased, and the long sword in his hand was pointed directly at the dragon's throat!

As Lore stabbed his sword into the dragon's throat, the world seemed to become distorted, and the dragon turned into white light and disappeared, leaving only a pile of rotten wood to disperse!

Lore shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that it's really a pile of rotten wood!"

Lore's magic ran out, the flames on her body vanished, and she fell to the ground with the pile of rotten wood.

Of course, the few people on the ground would not let Lore fall to the ground, and Nono sent out a whirlwind that wrapped Lore up, and Lore slowly fell to the ground like a fallen leaf in the wind, and then was picked up by a soft wave of water.

Lore looked at Rick with an awkward look and smiled, "Yo! I didn't expect you to come to my rescue!

Rick snorted, "You're a madwoman!" Miss Ben just doesn't want to see some barbarian finally defeat the dragon and then fall to his death!"

Lore stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and said, "Please, this is an illusion! How could you fall to your death?

Rick's face suddenly turned red: "You...... I...... Hmph, who knows if you'll be brain dead from falling from a height!"

Lore smiled and waved his hand: "Anyway, thank you!"

"Who wants you to thank you!" Rick snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Leah looked at her surroundings suspiciously, she had suddenly twisted a little, but now it was back to normal.

"Lore, it doesn't seem like the illusion has disappeared, how do we go back?"

Lore stretched out her right hand, and a five-colored bead was lying in the palm of her hand, which was the illusion core that Lore had grasped in her hand before falling just now, but a particularly large crack had appeared on this bead now, almost tearing the bead in half!

Lore looked at the rest of the people suspiciously, and hesitated, "Why don't you break it in half and try it?"

The rest: "......"
