Chapter 100: The Dragon's Elegy
readx;? After the purple light disappeared, the ruins beneath the ground were calm again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the empty hole above, Julian and Owen looked at each other, crying and laughing.
They didn't expect things to turn out like this, and even the "cards of fate" couldn't predict all the variables.
"Go up, we can't let them go on like this. Owen suggested to Julian.
"I couldn't agree more. However, he can't be left here. Julian nodded, then turned around and lifted an unconscious uncle from the rubble, "He's breathing weakly, but he's still alive." ”
Nusan Shudna, a veteran priest who was sent by Julian's father to join the team, did not know whether he was unlucky or lucky. When Ray grabbed the Valkyrie and crashed through the dome of the temple and crypt, he was hit in the back of the head by a falling boulder, his cervical vertebrae were heavily squeezed, his nerves were destroyed, and he lost consciousness in an instant. In the event of two successive earthquakes, Julian consciously included Nusan Shudena in the scope of protection.
"Take him with you. We hadn't learned in class before, and we didn't know how to save when we died. Owen patted Julian on the shoulder and encouraged.
Julian tore off a strip of cloth, twisted it into a rope, and tied the tall Nusan Shudena to his back. But Owen stopped him: "I'll be in charge of this uncle." You put this outfit on. With that, Owen handed Julian an iron box.
This was the chest that Ipeia had taken out of the official profile not long ago, and was engraved with the Knights Templar's emblem. Originally, there was a set of Paladin's armor and holy sword "Eternal Victory". After Prince Harlan took out the sword, he discarded the paladin's armor and the chest.
"Is this a relic of the former Templar Commander Putnnin?Owen, I know that you and this noble knight are like father and son, and that his relics should be kept by you, not given to others. ”
"I don't need it, it's just a waste with me. Julian, if it were up to you to inherit this suit, I think Uncle Merkone would definitely agree. ”
"But...... All right. ”
Seeing Owen's unquestioning eyes, Julian knew that he had no need to refuse, so he decisively took the box from Owen's hand.
"Luna!" Owen shouted to the winged elf lying lazily on the side.
"Oh?"
"Want to add a meal?"
above the ground. The brilliant golden canopy has finally come to an end.
Even if he has the strength to be at the top of the dragon clan, he will eventually be difficult to defeat the monkeys.
Ray and Shatarikis, who had completely exhausted the last drop of energy under the siege of the dragons, could no longer maintain their dragon form and retreated to their human form again. But they weren't defeated. The two leaned on the tree poles, stubbornly holding on, without the slightest hint of surrender or compromise. And the dozen or so golden dragons besieging them also changed into human form one by one, falling around the two of them, surrounding them.
Although the dragons received an order from Empress Grace to completely destroy the alien (thunder) that might threaten the Golden Dragon Clan, the first warrior of the clan stayed by this side without leaving an inch, and even if they were outnumbered, they did not dare to make rash moves. The two sides are at a stalemate in this dangerous situation.
There is another place in the midst of sword tension. The former Empress Isabel no longer had any worries and had an open showdown with the three elders. The Empress Sect and the Elder Sect have been fighting within the Golden Dragon Clan for thousands of years, will the war between these two factions break out today?
An unusual pulse suddenly came from underground, interrupting the imminent civil war of the Golden Dragon Clan. Isabel and the three elders all felt it at the same time, not only them, but even Shatarikis and the dozen or so dragons standing in the distance: it was the "dragon power" from another dragon!
"What the hell are you and the other humans doing underground?" Shatarikis suddenly turned his head and sharply questioned Ray, who was still on the same front.
But Ray was at a loss, and he didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly, on the top of the mountain where Thunder and Valkyrie had fought fiercely, a purple light rose into the sky. Countless rubble statues, controlled by an invisible hand, floated in mid-air one after another, swirling around the purple pillar of light. Immediately after, the figures of three people appeared in the pillar of light, slowly rising upward.
Empress Ipeya, Prince Harun, and a mysterious woman in purple descended from a height in the midst of countless rubble, looking down on a ruined forest.
"It's you...... It's you again!" Shatarikis glared at the woman in purple, his fists clenched.
If his eyes could breathe fire, I'm afraid that the woman in purple would have been burned to ashes, and dragged the two humans around her with her.
The woman in purple obviously knew Shatarikis as well, but in the face of the intense hostility, her reaction was surprisingly cold, responding to Shatarikis's anger with a tired look, casually raising her right hand, pointing her index finger at Shatarikis and shooting a purple beam.
Shatarikis crossed his hands in front of his head, defending against the attack of the purple beam. But his defenses were pointless at all, as the purple beam wasn't aimed at him in the first place.
"Wow, ah, ah, ah......"
The purple light struck Ray next to Shatarikis, causing no superficial scars, but causing Ray to fall to the ground with his head in his hands, screaming and screaming. Lei seemed to have seen something terrible, his face turned pale for a moment, and then his pupils suddenly turned white, he stopped struggling, his whole body softened, and he knelt down, without any reaction.
Then, the woman in purple hooked her fingers, and Lei's body suddenly disappeared from the spot, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of the woman in purple, floating in a lying position.
"Your Majesty, be careful! This woman can manipulate the mind. Two thousand years ago, I was under her influence and destroyed the 'True Dragon Ritual' of that year!" Shatarikis hurriedly warned Isabel who was not far away.
Even without Shatarikis' warning, Isabel could tell if she was friend or foe, and she created a condensed "Flame of Punishment" fireball and threw it at the trio floating in mid-air in the purple light.
The woman in purple just pointed at the fireball, and the fireball exploded before it had even flown halfway through the air, and the "Flame of Punishment" flew around, but no flame could invade within 30 meters of the purple pillar of light.
At this time, the woman in purple suddenly raised her right hand and stretched out her index finger to the sky.
"Woo...... Black...... Black...... ......"
Suddenly, in the entire Antigorin Sea, as well as the Golden Dragon Sanctuary not far away, there was a low, paradoxical, conch-like roar in the sky.
"Not good!" Isabel's face turned pale and her voice trembled a little, "Is this the 'Dragon's Elegy'?"
"What is the 'Dragon's Elegy'?" asked Jilana, one of the three elders.
"Although I did not experience the 'Dragon War' 8,000 years ago, my father, the former Golden Dragon King, told me that when the magic of the 'Dragon Elegy' sounded in the sky, it meant that our dragon clan would be doomed. Speaking of this, Isabel suddenly turned her head and shouted to the three elders in righteous words, "Tarantiel, Stan Hopkins, and Gilana." I don't care what you plan to do in the future, today is a critical moment for the survival of our Golden Dragon Clan, if you are still an elder, you will fight the enemy together with me, and stop engaging in internal divisions!"
The three chiefs glanced at each other, their expressions suspicious.
However, before the three elders could make a choice, the change happened again. Once again, a powerful earthquake dominated the ground beneath their feet, and this time there was not just one epicenter.
The earth was churning, countless sinkholes appeared on the ground, trees were swallowed, and then, one after another, huge bags of earth "rose from the ground". I saw the skeletons of ancient and decaying giant creatures "arching" out of the soil bags like mushrooms after a rain.
The eighth dragon, who was supposed to be extinct and buried in the Dragon's Graveyard all year round, has now seen the light of day!
The dry bones trembled as if they had suddenly regained their lives, shaking off all the dirt and dust between the hollow skeletons.
At this time, the woman in purple finally left the pillar of light and floated higher alone, and the purple ball of light emitted from her body wrapped her whole person, and continued to expand. At the same time, on the hundreds of resurrected dragon skeletons, where it should have been the heart, a ball of purple light appeared one after another, and then the purple light cluster grew in size until the entire dragon skeleton was completely encased inside.
Hundreds of huge balls of purple light dyed the sky for thousands of kilometers in a mysterious purple.
After a while, the ball of light that originally wrapped the woman in purple cracked, and a huge colorful butterfly "broke out of the cocoon" from the ball of light.
In fact, the creature was not a butterfly at all, in essence, she was a dragon, except with a pair of butterfly-like membrane wings, a slightly smaller body than the average dragon, but a slender torso and limbs, covered in purple scales, and a pair of elk-like horns on the top of her head. This dragon is completely different from the golden, silver, black, red, green, blue, and sea dragons seen on Olopa, and she is a dragon that is completely different from the seven dragons mentioned above: the Eighth Dragon!
At this moment, other huge purple balls of light also cracked, and the dragon skeleton that was originally wrapped in it regained its own flesh, scales, wings, and life!
Although they vary in size, they all share common features: elongated bodies and limbs, purple dragon scales, dendritic horns, and butterfly-like membrane wings.
The Eighth Dragon, who had been sleeping underground and had only skeletons left, was resurrected within a few minutes.
Seeing this situation, the dozen or so Golden Dragon Clans on the ground didn't say a word, they all changed into dragon types and threw themselves into the sky to fight these resurrected dragon clans. Even the former Empress Isabel and the Three Elders joined the fray. This is a battle for the survival of the race, and even if the previous contradictions are deep, these leaders must be put on hold for the time being.
Gold and purple shine in the night sky. More than a dozen golden dragons fought against hundreds of resurrected eighth dragons, and the golden dragons were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but Isabel let out a roar of gathering, and a large number of reinforcements from the golden dragon clan were rushing towards the battlefield here, and Antigorin's sea would face annihilation!
While the two dragons were fighting with their lives, the dragon that had been transformed by the woman in purple did not join the battle, and she flew around in a circle and flew in front of Ipeia and Prince Harun.
"Let's go. Ipeya said to Prince Harun, who was still surprised.
Although shocked by what he saw, Prince Harlan knew that this was not a disadvantage for him, so he nodded at Ipeia, and with Ipeia, broke away from the purple pillar of light and jumped up towards the dragon's back.
Once the two of them were seated, the dragon stretched out its slender claws and tightened the unconscious thunder in its claws.
At the same time, Owen and Julian returned to the surface by climbing the cave wall, and behind them, the winged elf Luna grabbed Nusan Shudna's collar and brought the badly injured priest to the surface.
They happened to witness it.
"Where are you going to take Ray?" asked Julian at the two men on the dragon's back.
"Hmph!" Prince Harlan sneered, "If you want to save your friends, you can exchange the two things that belong to me." ”
The dragon flapped the huge butterfly wings vigorously, and quickly left the battlefield with the three humans, flying eastward.
At this time, a woman's shout suddenly came from the ground: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please take us away!"
When he looked down, he saw that on a bare stone, the three Fernández sisters were already waiting there. Sasha and Milalie lay on the ground, still seriously injured and unconscious, while Nanokai, as the eldest sister, kept waving to Ipeya in the sky.
"Take them with you. Ipeia said to the dragon.
The dragon circled in the air, then lowered its height, slowed down, and descended down on the rock. When the dragon had reached enough height, the sturdy Nanokhai picked up the two cousins one by one, jumped onto the dragon's back.
Just as the dragon was about to climb again, a small thing flew quickly from the sky. It was a man, a human who was flying through the air with the help of the Winged Elves, to be exact.
Owen wouldn't let his enemies take his companions so easily, so he seized the moment when the dragon slowed down and descended to pick up the three Fernandez sisters, causing Luna to let go of himself and leap down, grabbing the end of the dragon's tail. With tenacious perseverance, Owen stabilized himself in the huge swing of the dragon's tail, and kept climbing up, approaching the dragon's torso step by step.
"Give Ray back. ”
"Stop dreaming. Die!"
Prince Harlan let out a loud cry and fired the last arrow in the quiver at Owen.
The arrow roared, and Owen, who had no foothold in mid-air, could not dodge as easily as before, and he twisted his body vigorously, but the arrow still grazed the left side of his face, and red blood flew in the air. In order to avoid in mid-air, the grip on his arm weakened, and he couldn't grasp the constantly shaking dragon tail, and was thrown out at once.
Owen hit the canopy of several large trees in a row, and his whole body was scraped and scaled by the branches, but he was also cushioned and was able to land safely.
Looking at the dragon fading away, Owen sighed.
Again, he himself powerlessly watched as the enemy took his companions away.
