Chapter 169: Danger
At the same time that Hillcutt completed his transformation, the battle in the valley of Icourt reached its climax.
Wellington, the half-elven sorcerer, went straight to the Church of the Dragons and fought Raja's guards, while the female thief Atma and the barbarian berserker Aka were hastily separated from the ruins and dragged back by the dragons of Shilkat and Karamank, who had returned from the subspace.
Instead of rushing into battle, the mage Corus kept in touch with the ambushers outside the valley, keeping an eye on Iroh who could return at any moment.
And Natalie, the strongest in the current Icourt Valley, has also encountered her enemies.
"Boom, boom, boom——!"
With a continuous roar, Natalie's eyes were full of terrifying explosions and fires, wolf smoke rose, and sand blurred her vision.
Natalie retracted the protective barrier and shrunk behind a massive rock, dodging the aftermath of the explosion. She gasped violently, the muscles of her body tensed to the extreme, and her eyes were full of solemnity.
It's really, it's too strong!
The human druid, who called himself Ralanor, was undoubtedly Natalie's strongest foe to date, apart from Elo. Even though it had only been a few minutes since she had fought with her, she had already been in danger several times.
If it weren't for the high-level earth and stone golem she had recently made to support her, and Natalie was fighting alone, she would definitely not hesitate to retreat.
The giant made of rock and dirt not far from Natalie is a puppet made by Natalie with the help of the talent of the "spirit of nature". It's just that unlike ordinary cannon fodder puppets, this giant can not only make some simple thinking and make tactical moves, but also has a strong recovery ability, which can be regarded as a good supporter.
It's a pity that there isn't enough time left for Natalie, otherwise she could have made more.
But even the combination of the green dragon and the earth and stone puppet, after facing the raunchy human man, is still only one-sidedly crushed!
Because, Rano is already stronger than the limits of human beings in physical strength alone, not to mention that he can further strengthen himself with the spells of the druid.
What's even more terrifying is that there are still many powerful military-level magic weapons stored in the space equipment that Rano carryed.
In this way, this man who already has the peak strength of the legend is even more powerful, even the green dragon Natalie, who was born for battle, has a crazy attack that can't withstand the opponent.
Is that man really human?!
"Whew-"
With a deep breath, Natalie felt like she was back in shape.
Natalie spread her wings and flew straight into the air, unleashing a dense round of magic missiles in the dark night.
The next moment, the dense missiles were poured onto the ground in one go, and Rano just laughed arrogantly at this, and casually took out a golden round shield, and then a barrier of light extended directly from the edge of the shield, protecting Rano in it.
"Phase Barrier!"
I don't know what kind of material the shield is made of, Natalie's powerful missile just didn't leave a trace on its surface, and naturally it couldn't hurt Rano in the slightest.
At that moment, the earth and stone golem that circled the other side with the help of the noise caused by the magic missile approached from behind Relano like a small mountain, and a huge granite iron fist blasted out, as if to smash him into scraps.
However, Rano was obviously not so easy to sneak attack, he grinned slightly, the green tendons on his right arm bulged, and the palm of his hand was directly several times larger, turning into a dragon's claw, and he slammed it forward, and took the punch steadily.
Then he quickly changed his move, firmly grasping the wrist of the earth and stone golem with his right claw, and in the next moment, he threw the earth and stone golem directly out with a disproportionate height difference!
With a bang, the heavy object hit the ground, and the earth and stone golem fell hard not far from Natalie.
Relano was outnumbered, but still at ease, and the smile on his face was as if he was enjoying an ordinary battle rather than facing a life-or-death battle, which made Natalie feel unwilling and despised.
Ignoring Natalie's mood, Rano made another move.
His right hand returned to its original state, and then a glimmer of light flashed, and the golden round shield vanished, replaced by a long-barreled cannon with a faint red light gathering in the muzzle.
"Dragons are so good, they are born to fly and cast spells...... So for the sake of fairness, I also brought the natural things of humanity. ”
"—Portable Siege Crystal Cannon, how about trying it out?" As the voice of self-talk increased, Rano's voice was already full of tyranny. This man has completely entered a dangerous combat state at this moment!
At this moment, in the face of the red light that was about to erupt from the muzzle of the cannon, Natalie's scales almost stood up, as if there was a fatal danger pressing her heart.
"Danger!"
Natalie jumped up, and the acceleration technique was directly blessed, and she flew away into the distance as fast as she could. The earth and stone puppet's simple thinking also realized the horror of this move, and it also jumped continuously without hesitation, even keeping up with Natalie's speed.
In the next second, a red light appeared, and a large crater was suddenly blasted out of Natalie's original location, and the aftermath of the cannonball directly blew down several houses that were already crumbling.
"It's not over yet - a guided heavy missile!"
On the ground, Rano laughed again.
Instantly, a small missile glowing with cyan light arrived first, pulling out a terrifying white smoke screen, catching up with Natalie, who had no time to dodge amid a piercing scream.
"Boom ——!"
A series of explosions rang out one after another, engulfing the figure of the green dragon in an instant.
A few seconds later, the young dragon, whose scales had been scorched black by the explosion, fell from above, destroying a two-story building directly below it, and the good building fell apart in an instant.
"Ahem......"
In less than a second, Natalie stood up from the rubble and immediately went to check the state of the earth golem.
Because, the missile bombardment just now failed to hurt her, and the earth and stone golem jumped up at the critical moment, using its body to withstand most of the impact of the explosion. Luckily, the damage to the puppet was not severe, and it was quick to recover and go into battle again.
"Among the young dragons, it's good to be able to do this. If it weren't for the order, I really wouldn't want to kill you. ”
The familiar man's voice sounded from a distance, which made Natalie subconsciously tense her nerves, and then she saw Rano slowly approaching in a cloud of smoke, his face with dragon scales in many places, looking like a dragonborn.
But Natalie knows that Rano is a pure human.
Gritting her teeth, Natalie decisively changed her fighting style, and the Golden Scale Protector was directly activated, and she stepped her feet with a rapid pace, and with the assistance of her wings, she launched an attack on Rano.
Lelano watched Natalie rush over relentlessly, and the appreciation in his eyes became more and more obvious, as if he recognized Natalie's will to fight.
"Want to fight in close quarters? Good, I've been looking forward to fighting dragons like this for a long time!"
He laughed loudly, and the trend of dragon scales in his whole body suddenly accelerated, and in just a few seconds, he could not see the original appearance of a human being, but turned into a humanoid tyrannosaurus, his body became extremely strong, and his height was directly raised by nearly half a meter, and his momentum suddenly became more and more fierce!
"This is the spell I developed with my will to yearn for the dragon form: Dragon Power Change!"
By this time, Natalie had rushed in front of Relanor, but before she could make any moves, a swift claw slashed at her head, and she could only cross her wings to block in a fatal situation.
"Bell!"
As if the sound of metal striking, an indescribable force spread from her wings to her body, pressing Natalie to the point where she almost fell to her knees, and the ground cracked radially under this kneeling.
This overwhelming force almost reminded her of Iroh's nuclear transformation blow.
At the same time, Rano's other dragon claw also broke through the air and slashed horizontally, aiming at Natalie's waist. If this blow is solid, maybe Natalie's waist will be torn apart.
But Natalie was suppressed by the dragon's claw at the moment, and there was no room to dodge at all, so she could only watch as the other cold claw approached quickly.
"Fight!"
As a last resort, she had to activate one of the vault's hole cards in advance.
"Smack-"
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation came from a distance, and in an instant, the brain, heart, stomach, and lungs ...... The organs in his body seemed to be torn apart by his hands, and the intense pain brought Rano to a halt.
Natalie, who had protected several vital points on her body with an invisible barrier, seized the opportunity and endured the same pain, her wings shook upward, flicking the huge dragon claws that had reduced most of the oppression by a little, and then quickly moved her steps and retreated a full ten meters.
"What's that?"
Rano asked coldly.
"You don't know. Natalie was glad in her heart, but a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
In fact, she had just had the golem detonate a bomb, but it wasn't any bomb, but an experimental bomb made by Ielo and Noele.
It is said that in the Hidden Age, it was called a "neutron bomb".
To put it simply, this is a nuclear bomb made on the principle of fission and fusion, with high-energy neutrons as the main lethality.
It bombards plutonium-239 with an internal neutron source to produce fission, and the high-energy neutrons produced by fission and the high temperature promote fusion. It is characterized by high neutron energy, large number and low equivalent. The goal is to "only kill and injure people, not destroy equipment and buildings, and not cause large-scale pollution".
That's right, for twelve years, when the Solar Optics Society was studying nuclear fission, Iroh would not let go of his own nuclear power, but worked with Noele to develop more ways to use it.
Like what...... A special nuclear bomb like a neutron bomb!
