Chapter 166: Ruins or Traps
"Huh?"
At the moment when Iro's figure completely disappeared above the magma, on the plains north of the Duchy of Sefi, the Soul Eater UD-286 suddenly paused. The magic circle he was drawing was suspended, and UD-286 decisively teleported to a wider, more secluded flat ground.
The next moment, his abdomen swelled violently, and then it was torn apart, and a huge figure with a large amount of disgusting green mucus walked out of his body directly!
If you look closely, this figure is Iro!
However, UD-286 apparently knew everything for a long time, and he easily glued the torn flesh back together, and in a matter of seconds, the seemingly terrifying wound healed directly.
Obviously, Iroh teleported himself directly to UD-286's personal space, and then to the outside world - it must be said that UD-286 is the bearer of chaos fragments, and many things about him cannot be seen with the common sense of this world.
For example, this teleportation that defies the blockade of space.
In fact, this seems to be a way of teleportation, but in essence, it is a spatial folding. To put it simply, it is not like ordinary spatial teleportation, which carries people from one place to another, but directly "pulls" the two points in the originally separated space together like grabbing a sheet.
Because of this, Ouranos' means of blocking spatial teleportation failed to prevent Iroh from leaving.
As for Iroh's choice not to fight Ouranos and the others, there is also a reason. Just like Ouranos said, Ello's perception range at the moment is already quite large, and after triggering the magma explosion, he feels the breath of Ouranos, Will and Claire who teleported to the sky above the cave.
Among them, Will and Claire's are okay, but Ouranos ......
Although he was very unwilling, Ai Lu also had to admit that the owner of this completely unfamiliar aura definitely had the strength of the demigod level, and in the demigod level, I am afraid it is not weak.
However, Iroh's current state is only barely entering the demigod level, and it is indeed not a wise move to rashly fight against a demigod and two legendary peaks.
"Master, you've already planned to ...... Have you given up on Icourt Valley?" asked UD-286.
After a brief cleansing of his body, Iroh did not immediately leave this place and go to the Ikut Valley, but leaned down in place, quietly waiting for something.
"No, I'm waiting. β
Iroh shook his head, Ikut Valley was the headquarters of the Flame Dragon Church, and its importance to him was self-evident. Although Raja has gradually dispersed the power of the Yanlong Church in recent years, the church camp in the Ikut Valley is still an important node.
It's just that Iroh also knows that the metal dragons have painstakingly created the current situation, and they must have also laid a net on the periphery of the Ikut Valley, just waiting for themselves to throw it in.
In this case, it is impossible for Iroh to risk his life - the appearance of the demigod powerhouse did sound the alarm for Iroh, since there was a strange demigod-level existence coming to conquer him just now, then it cannot be ruled out that there are demigod-level ambushes in the Ikut Valley area.
Since he can't give up the Ikut Valley, and he can't risk his life, then there is naturally only one way for Iroh to do it.
He's waiting for an opportunityβa time when those besieging the Icourt Valley will have to give up and evacuate!
"It's up to you whether you can hold out until then. β
Let's go back to 10 days ago.
In the midst of the clouds of war, in the valley of Icourt, something happened that could not be left unsaid.
β......οΌβ
Hirkat didn't know what was happening, his consciousness gradually became numb, and countless high-frequency and sharp string sounds like the roar of an ancient demonic beast flew through his eardrums, and at this moment it was like thousands of sharp blades cutting wildly through his body, especially the air inhaled from his mouth and nose, and it was more like countless hammers beating his lungs.
Every breath became the most brutal torture in the world. The heart-rending pain rushed into his mind together, like thousands of ice needles piercing his body.
Hilcart tried to open his eyes, but all he saw was a blurry light that flickered and elongated. The surrounding scene changed wildly at an incredible rate, as if the end was coming for him.
Struggling to open his mouth wide open, Hillcat struggled to keep his eyes open, but the rapid flow of air around him was like a sharp blade of air shooting towards him. Before I knew it, blood had flowed out of my mouth, mouth, eyes, and ears, but it was soon dispersed by the oncoming wind and turned into a reddish mist.
His consciousness gradually became blurred, as if his soul could no longer keep up with the crazy speed, and was slowly dissipating from his body with a reddish mist.
It didn't take long for Hillcat to vaguely feel himself being hit the ground.
When his eyes opened, the half-blooded young dragon saw a land of fresh grass and trees.
The sun shines gently on his body, and the wind blowing from nowhere is mixed with a faint fragrance of leaves, which is heated by the sun in the air, which is even more pleasant. Everything seemed so beautiful, as if the horror of being caressed by death had never existed.
Hillcat struggled to his feet, and as he became conscious, the pain from all over his body immediately hit him. He frowned, although it wasn't a comfortable feeling, it was still much better than before.
After checking his body as fast as he could, Hilcart breathed a sigh of relief, although there were many wounds on his body, they were not deep, and there were no injuries to the vital parts, so he just looked terrible. In addition, the physique he inherited from the red dragon was already surprisingly good, so I think he could recover soon......
Just...... What happened?
That's right!
Hillcart remembered it all.
Since returning to Ikut Valley three years ago after completing Iroh's mission, Hilkat has lived a life of unfettered life. Because Iroh never returned to the Ikut Valley, Natalie, the strongest of the Tokamaks, left the valley in three days without knowing what the stimulus, and it is said that he fell in love with another green dragon and later laid eggs......
And Raja, the Grand Imam of the Yanlong Church, also has great respect for himself and does not dare to disobey him at all.
Therefore, the entire Ikot Valley is simply the time to claim its own king!
What's more, Hillcutt's strength has also improved very quickly. Since entering his youth, he can feel a leap in his physical fitness and awaken a powerful attack talent called "Soul Burst".
However, this smooth life ended a few days ago.
A few days ago, Natalie suddenly summoned Hilcart and Karamank, saying that she sensed that powerful auras were converging near the valley, and hoped that they would not try to leave the valley in the near future, and prepare for battle with all their might.
At first, Hillcart didn't care very much, but he was a little blind to his self-confidence that had swelled unprecedentedly recently, who would dare to provoke the Icourtt Valley, which had three dragons?
Unexpectedly, the moment he didn't listen to the dissuasion and fought out of the valley, he was attacked by a strong team of terrifying adventurers.
If it weren't for Karamank's timely help, I'm afraid that Hilcart would be in a different place now.
But even so, the other side obviously doesn't mind weakening the enemy's strength before the war officially begins. So the two young dragons were forced farther away from the valley under the powerful magic bombardment one after another.
And there, a high-ranking druid has been waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.
Even before Hillcart could say his signature phrase "humble existence", an extremely strong spatial storm enveloped him, and it looked powerful...... It is far more than the full force of the average legendary-level powerhouse!
Feeling a strong life-and-death crisis, the two dragons immediately used all their strength and launched a counterattack magic-
Almost at the same moment when the two energies collided, an even more violent tide of magic exploded, and the entire space was almost instantly disturbed, and Hilcart only felt that his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.
When I woke up again, I found myself in this strange place.
Karamank ...... I guess I was separated from myself.
After a brief break in place, Hilcart looked around vigilantly for clues. Fortunately, less than five hundred meters away from him who had just risen, the figure of a blue dragon fell to the grass.
"What a nuisance...... Karamank!"
Hilcart couldn't help but be taken aback. It wasn't that he had any ridiculous sense of companionship, but that it was purely out of necessity. After all, this strange place he had never seen before, and it was most likely a hidden ruin, or even some other dimension.
Unknown often means danger, and this is something that all underage dragons have long engraved in their hearts.
So just like in childhood, Hillcart instinctively wants to stay in a group.
And the best choice is naturally Karamank, who belongs to the same faction as him.
Despised the fragility of the blue dragon a little in his heart, Hilcart used the immature magic in his memory to try to heal the other party. It seemed that Karamank was luckier than himself, and the injuries on his body were much lighter, so it was only a moment before he came to his senses.
β...... Here it is...... Where is it? But it looks like we've managed to survive that storm?"
I have to say that in addition to his physical fitness, which is not as good as Shilkat who inherited the blood of the red dragon, Karamank is still a little more reliable in other aspects. When he woke up, he didn't panic, but looked around very calmly, and nodded slightly, as if he instantly understood what was happening, "Thank you, Shilkat." β
"Hmph, I'm just trying to get out of here. β
Apparently Karamank had already cleared Hilcart's temper - the half-blood dragon was rather dishonest, and even if he really wanted to thank others, he had to deliberately make a gesture of superiority.
So, without waiting for Hillcart to say anything more, Karamank began to focus his energy on the current situation. He stepped aside, as if attracted by something, and observed intently.
On the grass not far from the two of them is a ruined wall, and from the decadent wall of the dolomite, it seems that the prosperity of the past can still be seen.
"Original...... That's right. β
A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Karamank pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to Shilkat, who was still a little overwhelmed, and said, "We need to be careful." β
"What do you mean?"
"If the books I've read recently are correct," the young blue dragon's gaze froze for a moment, "we're already in a city ruins at the end of the Hidden Age, and the city's defenses are fully activated at this moment. If you're not careful...... Maybe your life will be in danger. β
