Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Outdated Empress
"Holy Sword, how could you choose an outsider as your master!
After all the hardships and scheming, he put in a lot of effort and effort to do it, and he almost lost his name, and finally made a wedding dress for someone else - Prince Harun felt that he could not accept such a result.
"Good!" Owen, who was dodging in the midst of a large number of earth-based attack magic and summoned creatures, noticed what had happened to Julian and smiled with relief.
"Holy Sword Confession, Oh no!" Feeling that she was going to face one-on-two pressure, Ipeia felt uneasy.
It was because of this slight distraction that Ipeya's ability to manipulate magic was skewed. Owen seized on the small flaw, broke out of the encirclement, lowered his body and rushed straight towards Ipeya.
A panicked look appeared on Ipeia's face, she couldn't imagine that Owen was still so fast in the face of excessive blood loss, and even the simplified spell to summon the sand barrier didn't have time to form a sentence in her mind, Owen had already rushed in front of her. Out of the most basic human instinct for self-defense, Ipeia picked up her magic wand to block. But how could a staff made of oak withstand a close-quarters attack from an elite martial artist? A hand knife that was enough to split even a brick smashed the wand in two pieces from the middle.
"Ahh
Ipeia lost her complexion, lost her center of gravity, and fell back to the ground.
But Owen didn't take advantage of the victory. Because at this very moment, the earth suddenly shook violently without warning, and it was completely impossible to stand still.
"Holy Sword is angry?" Prince Harun, who had just picked up the iron-tired longbow, had to find a way to survive from a large rain of stalagmites before he could get anywhere and fight back, and he took it for granted that the sudden earthquake was blamed on the anomaly after the Holy Sword recognized his master.
"What's the matter?" Julian was much more sober, and as the master of the Holy Sword, he knew that it was not the Holy Sword that was worshipping. He hurriedly half-crouched down, raised the holy sword and the magic sword above his head, and used the energy of the two divine weapons to form a protective circle.
The earthquake hindered Owen's offensive and gave Ipeia a respite, as she repeated her old trick of pouring mana into the ground to create enough space to hold herself.
And Owen can probably guess the cause of the earthquake. "Ray, what the hell are you doing?" Owen looked up at the black dome above as he dodged the rocks, worried about the anomaly that had happened to his other companion.
At this moment, above the surface, the life-and-death battle between the two dragons was decided.
Shatarikis, who was in the state of a dragon, was completely defeated by Thunder, who turned into a dragon after the "True Dragon Ritual", and with the remaining energy generated in the duel, he fell heavily to the ground, and the energy spread across the earth at an extremely fast speed, forming a violent man-made earthquake.
The first warrior of the Golden Dragon Clan, who was once arrogant, lay in humiliation in the big pit knocked out by its huge body, his wings were torn open several times, the scale armor on his body was torn off several pieces, blood flowed sideways, a horn was broken, his qi was weak, and he could no longer stand up, and his chest fluctuated greatly, indicating that the burden on the dragon's heart had reached its limit.
The other dragon who won the victory was also scarred and bleeding, and even had one eye blinded. But it seemed to be completely unconcerned about its injuries, and after circling in the air for a while, it flew to a higher position and swooped down from the sky, only to kill Shatarikis.
A golden light suddenly exploded between the two dragons. The golden light stopped the two dragons from killing them, and also healed some of Shatarikis's wounds.
"Stop!" a beautiful girl in a golden robe with blond hair and golden eyes appeared from the golden light, "Marn, if you kill him, Grace will never forgive you!"
The dragon suddenly stopped. Apparently, the girl's words shook it.
"I know it's not your fault for what happened back then, but I can't blame Shatarikis for everything, he was just being used by others. The girl patiently explained.
"Ang ......"
Unexpectedly, the girl's words had a negative effect on the dragon, and the stimulated dragon roared furiously, producing a powerful sonic boom, and the "Flame of Punishment" exploded, spreading around the dragon without limit, causing indiscriminate destruction.
"Marn, I know that you will come back one day sooner or later, the kingdom of Agulayma was destroyed by my order, if you want revenge, I have already been prepared to meet the anger of your hatred, but the path of destroying miè and self-destructing miè is not for you!"
"No!" Hearing that the girl was going to take all the responsibility alone, Shatarikis, who had already fallen to the ground, squeezed out the last bit of strength out of nowhere, turned his body into a less consuming human form, and limped in front of the girl, "I was jealous of you and Grace back then, I plotted against you behind my back, it was I who hindered the True Dragon Ceremony, it was I who made you fall out of control, I was the culprit who caused the tragedy, if you want revenge, rush at me, and never allow to hurt Her Majesty Isabel!"
"Stand down, Shatarikis, it's none of your business here!"
"No, it's my duty to protect you......"
At this time, the inner world of nothing.
Due to the rapid consumption of energy, the consciousness of the dragon knight Marn began to weaken, and another consciousness was awakened from his slumber.
"I ...... Where am I?"
Ray, who was in the midst of the raging flames, opened his eyes. A sea of fire formed by the "Flame of Punishment" originally came from his heart, and he would be destroyed in the sea of fire, but he could also be reborn in the sea of fire.
"Who are you?" Ray looked up and asked the man in front of him who looked exactly like him.
"Who are you. At the same time, the other party raised his head and asked the same question.
Although the man in front of him was exactly the same as his appearance, but the other party's eyes full of hatred and resentment, and his ruthless smile, Lei knew that it would never belong to him.
Who am I?
By the way, who am I?
I'm Ray, Ray from the village of Searle, I have an older brother named Cassius, I have a lot of important friends, companions, and more importantly, I'm myself, not you.
Ray punched the man in front of him, and at the same time, the other party punched Ray as well.
The moment the two fists collided together, all the scenes in front of him, including the man who was exactly like himself, were torn apart like broken glass.
This hypocritical mirror was finally shattered by thunder!
"Nourishing ......"
The flames surrounding the dragon soon vanished, and the eyes that had been obscured by the flames regained their clear brilliance.
Isabel and Shataricis, from the dragon in the sky, gradually did not feel hatred and resentment, although they did not know what was happening, but it was clear that the soul that had been hated for a thousand years seemed to have finally let go of his attachment......
"Boom"!
A fireball exploded on the dragon, and the dragon let out a terrible wail.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", ......
Fireballs slammed into the dragon one after another.
"What?"
Isabel looked up and looked farther away, and was surprised to find that more than a dozen golden dragons appeared in the sky at some point, dyeing the sky into a golden light, and the dragons surrounded the human-turned-dragon, launching a merciless siege.
"Stop, what are you doing?" exclaimed Isabelle, the Golden Dragon Empress surprised and dissatisfied with her clansmen's actions.
"It's a crusade. We must clear a qiē that is unfavorable to the Golden Dragon Clan. ”
Three dragons landed on the ground, and they took on human form, two men and one woman, and the tallest man standing in the middle answered Isabel's question with a natural gesture.
"Oh, it turned out to be the three elders - Tarantiel, Stan Hopkins, and Gilana. I don't remember giving such an order. Go and get the dragons out. Isabel frowned and ordered.
But the three were indifferent.
"Didn't you hear Empress Isabel's orders?" said Shatarikis, who was very unshy, at the slightest hint of the trio.
The three elders looked Shatarikis up and down, only to see that the latter was scarred all over his body, one hand and one leg were broken, and this wolf appearance made the three elders couldn't help but show a sneer.
"With the prestige of being the number one warrior of our clan, you have lost to a mere human being, how are you qualified to speak in front of us. The man standing on the right, Stan Hopkins, taunted Shataritikis.
"I'm sorry, Her Majesty Isabel. We will not follow your orders. "The speaker is the woman standing on the left, Gilana.
"What are you talking about?" asked Isabel in a very unhappy tone.
Although her rule has been constantly challenged by the three elders for more than two thousand years, this is the first time that such a blatant disobedience to her orders has occurred.
"If it is an order from Her Majesty the Empress, of course we will obey it unconditionally, but if it is an outdated empress, the Golden Dragon Clan does not have any obligation to obey. "The one who said such rude words was none other than the most venomous Stein Hopkins.
"How dare you say it again!" shouted Shatarikis. It didn't matter how the other party humiliated him, but to speak disrespectfully to the most noble Isabel was something Shatarikis would never tolerate!
"Your Majesty Isabel, you shouldn't have forgotten it, have you? The Empress who now rules over our Golden Dragon Clan is your daughter Grace Xià. Jilana smiled and said in a relatively gentle tone.
"And it was Empress Grace who gave us this crusade. Tarantel replied without humility or arrogance.
At this time, in the air, the besieged golden dragon, Lei, rushed left and right in the dense firepower network, but the dragon's breath still kept hitting him. There were also a few golden dragons who took advantage of the weakness to enter and under the cover of their companions, they launched the most primitive hand-to-hand combat against Lei. The tiger will eventually be defeated by the monkeys, and the battle continues, and Thunder will only end up being torn to pieces by the dragons.
Unable to see the kind of abuse that bullies the less, Shatarikis cast a pleading look at Isabel.
Isabel nodded, "Go ahead." ”
With his approval, Shatarikis didn't say nonsense, he let out a roar into the sky, forcing out all the little strength that he had finally recovered a little, and even did not hesitate to overdraw tomorrow's power, turned into a dragon body again, soared into the sky, and threw himself into the dangerous battle circle, knocking the four golden dragons that were rushing towards the thunder into the air in a row.
The two scarred golden dragons, who were still fighting each other to the death a few minutes ago, are now fighting side by side and joining forces to defend against the enemy.
Shataricius had no regrets and no hesitation. He is fulfilling the important duty entrusted by Empress Isabel: to save Ray from the dying of life and death for the third time. Although he had done the same thing not long ago, it was the consciousness called "Man" that dominated Ray's body at that time, and it was not considered that he had fulfilled his mission, and now, he clearly felt that Ray's consciousness had returned.
In fact, for Shatarichis, this vicious fight is not about whether he can save Ray, but whether he can maintain Isabel's dignity is the most important.
At the same time, the atmosphere on the ground was tense.
"Do you know what you're doing, Empress Isabel?" asked Tarantel grimly.
"In order to save an alien, he instigated the first warrior to make enemies of his own countrymen. Even once our Empress, such behavior is unforgivable. Gilana said.
"It's probably you who don't know what you're doing. Even if I am an outdated empress, I am our leader. Don't make me repeat it a third time, withdraw the dragons immediately!" Isabel showed the momentum of a king, and Tarantel and Gilana couldn't help but be stunned.
However, Stan Hopkins was unaffected, and with a fierce look on his face, he took a step forward: "Since Her Majesty Isabel is bent on going her own way, then don't blame us. Don't forget Jì, there is no Shatarikis guarding by his side now. ”
"Do you want to rebel?" Isabel said.
"No, we will not do anything harmful to the race, but we will follow the orders of Empress Grace, and any obstacles must be removed before the crusade is completed. ”
"Hmph! and Grace out. To be clear, I'm not giving way to Grace to compromise with you. If you think you can use my daughter as a puppet, let you know your mistake now. Now that she has torn off her skin, Isabel is not polite to them.
Political struggles do not exist only within human society. In the Golden Dragon Clan, which has a small number of members, it is not monolithic, and the two major factions that are loyal to the Golden Dragon Empress and the Three Elders, respectively, have fought openly and secretly for more than 2,000 years, and no one side can achieve an overwhelming advantage, so the Golden Dragon Clan has been able to maintain peace for more than 2,000 years in this terrifying balance. But today, that peace is about to be shattered......
However, the sabre-rattling four did not make a move in the end. Their faces changed suddenly, as they sensed a familiar and unfamiliar aura coming from the ground beneath their feet almost simultaneously.
Kind, but not the same, that's the "dragon power" from another dragon
