Chapter 63: The Tide of Destruction
Due to the impact of the energy storm that swept the entire royal capital before, the two sides of the Sky Knights and the palace guards who were originally fighting fiercely couldn't help but stop fighting and cast their uneasy eyes on the center of the black mist.
Then they were faced with the most terrible thing in their lives.
"Such a big black dragon would actually appear in the royal capital...... What the hell are the damned metal dragons and the Dawn Holy See doing?!"
The Sky Knights' dragoon, Partridge, stood tightly together with his partner, Garcia, the golden wyvern, with a look of horror and anger in his eyes.
Just ten minutes ago, the terrifyingly large black dragon not far away had crushed the most powerful force in the entire Falkenridge, the Sky Knights, with just breath and physical strength!
At the same moment, a large group of demons and demonic beasts poured out of the black mist, and began to slaughter the palace guards.
You must know that the metal dragons under the leadership of the five great venerables are on their mission to exterminate the colored dragons, and the hatred of the Dawn Holy See for the creatures of the abyss will only be deeper than the hatred of the metal dragons for the colored dragons.
But now?
Such a powerful black dragon with a whole team of abyssal creatures ran to the royal capital to slaughter them, where did those guys who usually show off their martial arts go?
Of course, if Partridge knew that the black dragon was the Marquis of Alec, to whom he was loyal, I am afraid that his feelings would be even more complicated at this moment.
"Help us!"
"Oh my God, who's going to ......"
As more and more monsters appeared in the black mist, the later monsters no longer targeted the palace, but killed the residential area. There is no doubt that with the defense forces of the royal capital side close to complete collapse, there is no way for ordinary citizens to resist.
The magical energy of the riot condensed into a devastating storm that blew over people's heads, and in an instant, the wooden roof was directly lifted and destroyed, and countless scattered wooden parts and debris danced wildly under the effect of the storm, flying and splashing everywhere, cutting through the bodies of the fugitives, striking countless scars.
The invisible suction force created by the high-speed air current, which instantly carried away a huge amount of air, was clearly felt by everyone in the field in that short period of time, and many people's hair appeared to stand upside down.
The scene was initiated by several winged demons emerging from the black mist, and they were speeding over the city, accompanied by wild laughter and terrifying gusts of wind. Buildings with only one story had their roofs removed, while tall buildings with several stories high were destroyed from the middle, crumbling and crumbling.
A few tall men, unfortunate enough to come into direct contact with the storm, their hair—the tallest one even had their scalp—swept away by the storm at this moment, leaving only a stain of blood, and the bright red flesh of the unfortunate one who had been scraped off his scalp.
The aftermath alone can rip off a person's scalp, and what about those who live in a two- or three-story building and are hit head-on?
The faint color of blood that flashed next to those demons, and the broken flesh and bones in the countless pieces of wood or earth and stone that flew out after the buildings next to them were shattered, were the best explanations.
Immediately after, a low chant came from the mouth of the huge black dragon, and before many people could react, an even greater disaster struck.
The boundless black and red, at this moment, completely eroded the sky of the royal capital......
Under the black dragon's fully extended wings, hundreds of magic missiles whizzed - no, strictly speaking, they can't be called magic missiles anymore, it should be accurately described as "magic cannonballs"!
The moment the extremely powerful magic missile touched the target, the huge energy hidden in itself exploded directly, accompanied by a devastating light and a deaf explosion, as if the city had suffered divine punishment, and a large number of craters with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on the ground - of course, the houses originally built on the craters, as well as the nearby residents, also disappeared.
"You must, you must leave the city immediately!"
"The gates are over there!"
"Let me go first!"
A few of the more resourceful men were the first to scream, and fled with all their might to the four gates of the city—for a moment they all thought they had hope of life.
However, when they found that the entire city had been shrouded in an invisible barrier at this time, the atmosphere in the royal capital really fell into despair.
"Bastard!"
Partridge slammed his saber into the ground, the only way he could keep his body from collapsing. Although Partridge has not experienced war, it is the first time he has experienced the feeling of watching his comrades-in-arms who were talking and laughing with him not long ago being crushed to death by the black dragon like ants.
Although there is anger, no matter how much anger there is, it can only turn into ashes under the crazy killing intent in the eyes of the black dragon. It's human nature, anger may turn the tide of battle against an enemy who is slightly stronger than you, but when the enemy's strength exceeds you tenfold and hundredfold, all anger will turn into fear!
Despair is his only mood.
"Hehehe...... It turned out to be even better than expected. ”
Alfred, the ancient black dragon, muttered to himself, stretching out his blood-red tongue to lick the blood from his mouth, "Iroh, thanks to you for attracting those people, it saved me a lot of effort. Hmph, if it continues at this rate, the Black Moon God will soon recover, and maybe it is not impossible for the Dark God System to revive from now on!"
"This is just the result of my fusion of divine power, and I really look forward to what reward the Black Moon God will give me when he fully wakes up...... Star Shadow Venerable, when the time comes, I will get back all the shame you have inflicted on me!"
Alfred, who was thinking like this, raised his head and stared coldly at Partridge and Garcia, who were still trying to stop them.
"It's just a boring little character. Fuck off!"
With a low roar, a storm of black-red energy erupted directly from Alfred's body, and a huge powerful force that could directly act on the material interface appeared in the air, surging towards the surroundings like a tsunami.
The next moment, the air rippled as clearly as the surface of a wind-blown lake, and circles of ripples continued to pour out towards the surroundings. Buildings, streets, sculptures, trees, everything is crumbling, cracking, and expanding outward.
Even the extremely brave dragon rider and his dragon companion were finally powerless to resist the ancient black dragon that fused with a trace of divine power, and after barely surviving the attack of the storm, the black dragon was already close at hand!
"You should feel honored to be able to welcome the arrival of the gods with me, and even more honored to be a part of the gods!"
The black dragon, which was more than a hundred meters long, fully displayed its terrifying power at this moment, and its purple-red eyes reflected the two who were already struggling to even stand, and his steel-like body hid the power of a volcanic eruption.
"Who wants to be a part of God......
Clung to Garcia's stiff body, Partridge took a deep breath and raised his weapon with the last of his strength.
I am the commander of the Sky Knights, the dragoon of honor and victory, Patrick!
Even when there is no hope in sight, I will fight until the last moment!
Under the majesty of the world-destroying dragon, he only had time to shout the last sentence in his heart, and then the black dragon's claws slapped straight down, accompanied by the terrifying sound of flesh and bones, and the blood, flesh and bones of the man and the flying dragon suddenly turned into a puddle of mud, and they could no longer distinguish each other.
Yes, just like Carlyle's death, the death of the brave dragoon was so mundane that he didn't have time to utter a bold word before it became something that no one could recognize.
The real events are often less powerful and often don't develop as they are thought to be than the stories told by the bards – which is why people are more willing to listen to the fascinating legends told by the bards than to the history books.
It hadn't been a few seconds since the dragoon's death, and the temperature of the blood hadn't even cooled, but all the blood seemed to be suddenly attracted, and it rose directly into the air, surging towards the Marquis's Palace, which had been reduced to ruins.
Not only this place, but at the same moment, the blood in every corner of the entire city—including the blood of all those who died in this unprecedented cataclysm—was subjected to an invisible gravitational pull, condensed into a blood-colored stream, and converged on the strange stone wall beneath the Marquis's Palace!
"This is the method of blood refining. ”
Next to the stone wall, the smile on the succubus Lilia's face grew brighter and brighter. "Great Master, your faithful servants are calling for your awakening......"
"Next, it's the palace......"
On the ground, Alfred checked the progress of the blood collection with satisfaction, couldn't help but smile smugly, and then walked towards the location of the Legacy Temple.
At this moment, his spiritual power was already connected to the huge barrier that covered the entire city, and he could feel any changes in the city—naturally, including the fact that when the barrier spread, a certain area was not affected in any way.
Needless to say, it was the Inheritance Temple where Iroh was.
