Section 49 Stepping on the top of the world, the invisible danger
With the protection of Noktuna Excalibur, he is no longer afraid of the cold. The dragon fire formed a protective ring around them, keeping out the blizzard. Rex felt smooth, warm, energetic, and full of energy. Katerina is also in good shape, no less than him.
Snow covered the entire mountain range, making it impossible to distinguish the road. The wind was still fierce, mixed with countless snowflakes, and the sky and the earth were chaotic. The roar of the cols was everywhere. The two of them staggered forward, leaving a series of footprints on the snow behind them, fresh and clear, but soon they were gradually covered by the falling snow foam.
"Rex, do you really believe that sir's words? Caterina asked with a gasp and a frown.
Rex stopped, turned to look at her and said, "At least this Excalibur is real." ”
"I believe in Excalibur, but I've never heard the stories of the Divine Dragon Guard. Aren't you a little worried?" she asked
"What are you worried about, afraid that Sir will deceive us?"
"Sort of. Caterina replied, "After all, killing a powerful dragon is not an easy task. Hey, it would be nice if Babas was here, he had participated in the War of the Ancients, and he knew best whether it was true or false. ”
Katerina's words made him start to think calmly. He knew that dragon slaying was dangerous, but he still chose to do it, not for the identity of the dragon guard. It's about repaying the favor and giving back to Jazz for saving his life.
So, like a knight, he said, "Don't worry! fate has made a choice, and this is your path." ”
"Cut, I'm going to be killed by you. Caterina complained.
Rex smiled and said, "It's not that serious, I'll protect you." ”
Although she was a little unhappy with his approach, she still believed in him. The two of them made their way forward, winding their way up the mountain road. On the way, Rex tells Katerina about the history of dragons and humans and the worship of dragons. After listening to the story, her heart calmed down and no longer hesitated. She felt that maybe fate had really arranged it, and this matter had been waiting for them to complete.
The road becomes difficult and dangerous, with cliffs and rocks on the right and an abyss on the left. The snow was not only deep but also quite slippery, and the leather boots would glide backwards for a short period of time, which made them travel longer distances.
As he was moving forward, Rex suddenly saw an extra boulder in front of him, blocking the side of the mountain road. The two carefully maneuvered around the boulder to safety, only to see a turn in the road. The mountains and fields are vast, and the wind and snow are angry. There was no sun in the sky, and they couldn't tell if it was day or night. There is no time in this space, and mountains, winds and snowstorms will always have only one form.
Excalibur is like a beacon, carving out a small piece of pure land to help them clear the way ahead. After climbing a long sloping slope, Caterina suddenly pointed to a gravel bush beside the trail and screamed. "Hey, Rex, look!"
"Look at what?" Rex asked with concern.
"Look closely, what is that!" she cried excitedly.
Rex got closer to observe, only to notice something strange, and said lightly, "It turned out to be a skeleton, don't worry." I think it was left behind by some hapless explorer!"
"No, look around!" called Caterina.
Rex crouched down and looked closely, seeing that the skeleton's clothes were not completely corrupted, and they looked a little familiar.
"How's that, do you see anything special?" asked Katarina.
Rex shrugged and spread his hands, "Familiar, I don't know who he is?"
"Idiot. Caterina scolded, "This is Sir Amir's bones, look at the clothes carefully." ”
After being reminded by her, Rex looked back and realized it. The pile of tattered clothes could not be seen clearly, but he was sure that the floral ornaments were exactly the same as Jazz's clothes. I couldn't help but admire Caterina's meticulous and amazing observation.
There is no point in exploring the cause of Sir Amir's death now. The Zombie Wilderness is undignified after all, and Rex decides to bury Sir's remains, right where he died. This time, Caterina gave her all in favor of him doing it.
Rex cleared the snow first and leveled a piece of land to build the foundation. Caterina piles up the broken bones and tore off a sleeve to wrap them around.
He found stones, laid out the base, and then built four stone walls about a foot high, as he had done to build a house. It's up to Caterina to put the bones in and fill the space. Then Rex continued to build the wall, the left and right sides were closed in the middle, the front and back were closed, and finally a vaulted tomb was built. Rex carved the name of Sir on a rectangular stone slab and erected the stele in front of the tomb. When he was done, he was tired and hungry, and Caterina was grunting with hunger. So, the two sat down in front of the grave and happily ate some food, rested and regained their strength.
Half an hour later, they continued their climb.
As they climbed happily, a gust of wind blew in a row, interspersed with a terrible, looming "sizzle" sound. The scream made Rex nervous, and Caterina noticed it. They immediately took a defensive stance and stood back to back to prevent the enemy from sneaking up.
The screams slowly increased, and there was a haunting sound around them, far and near, and the terrible thing was that neither of them saw anything that made a "sizzling" sound.
"Rex, do you guess it's a ghost?" asked Caterina nervously.
"Maybe, let's be careful. Rex replied, "It's so damning." Sir Amir wants us to defeat the dragon, but he doesn't tell us that there are other dangers on the mountain!"
"May Magsta, the god of war, bless us safely. ”
At this time, the "sizzling" sound is getting closer and closer, more and more, and it keeps screaming in the ears. Rex raised the Excalibur above his head, and the area of the dragon's fire widened in a circle. Suddenly, he saw a transparent snake-like monster floating in the air, sizzling at them like a mocking ".
"Look, what's that?" Caterina shouted quickly.
"I think it's a ghost, transparent, like a snake. Rex replied.
"It's too dangerous here, let's get out of here. She proposed.
"I agree. ”
The two quickened their pace, the serpentine monster seemed to see through their intention to escape, and in the blink of an eye flew from all directions like moths to a fire, Rex handed the Excalibur to Caterina, and held the Nightingale's Blade himself, rushing forward to fight to the death against the onrushing enemy.
The tide of battle is rushing in the blood. Caterina used Excalibur to repel a lot of people who wanted to sneak up. As the number of monsters decreases little by little, the battle slowly comes to an end. When the last basilisk was chopped by Rex, Caterina breathed a sigh of relief and happily said, "They escaped, and we won." ”
Rex had just nodded when he suddenly felt a burning pain in his left arm. He screamed and hurriedly checked, revealing that there was still a hidden monster biting him. Without saying a word, he immediately chopped it to pieces. The monster died, but the wound became more and more painful, like a dozen ants biting, and he was miserable.
It took a bottle of healing medicine to relieve the pain symptoms. They continued on their way, and soon the road came to an end and they finally reached the top of the world. Catalina noticed green auroras in the sky, no strong winds or snow on the top of the mountain, and the rocks were quiet and peaceful. The two couldn't help but wonder.
They looked around and observed the terrain at the top of the mountain, but they didn't find anything unusual, except for a huge rock with a strange appearance, there was no magic dragon, no soul, nothing.
Just when they are puzzled. There was a thunderous laugh in the sky, "Who are you who dare to break into my world!"
The two were taken aback, and Rex shouted into the sky, "My name is Rex, she's Katerina, let's find a dragon named Dramora!"
"Oh...! What are you looking for Uncle Ben?"
"Who's talking, please show up. Caterina shouted.
The laughter grew more and more terrifying, louder and longer. At the same time, Rex noticed that the boulder began to change, and both wings spread outward at the same time, and then, the head curled under the wings slowly turned back, reaching up into the air, and the tail back. A giant dragon appeared before them.
It stood up, flailing its wings up and down, and the ground shook suddenly. The dragon was jet black and shiny, and its body was covered in triangular scales. It has a strong, muscular body and a long, thick neck. The eyes are like rubies shining brightly, with four layers of eyelids. With sharp teeth like neat rows of blades that can easily shred through any enemy, Dramora is simply the embodiment of the Demon King.
A pair of steel claws clasped onto the rock, and their wings swung down into the air, followed by a long roar that shook the sky. Dlamoura flew into the clouds and circled around the top of the mountain three or four times before falling back to the ground and stopping at the two of them.
It questioned in a deep voice, "Tell me, poor fellow, why do you want to see Uncle Ben?"
"Sir Amir has commissioned us to come to you!" replied Caterina.
Dramoraden's eyes widened and he burst into a fierce gaze, "What? that poor old thing! Haha, didn't he die a long time ago!"
"Yes, his body is dead and his soul is still there, and he told us to come up to you. Rex said.
"Oh, what do you want?"
"Kill you!" replied Rex.
Dramora's eyes lit up, and she burst into a wild laugh. In a mocking tone, he said, "Boy, you're not qualified to kill me!"
Rex ignored his ridicule and said firmly, "You don't need to judge whether you are qualified or not, we will cut off your head." ”
"You brought it on yourself. The fierce light in Dramora's eyes grew stronger, "Come, poor hero, see what you challenge me." I'll make you understand how stupid your choice is. ”
"Hey, listen, put away your disgusting sermons. Whether clever or stupid, we will be responsible for this, you don't need to say much, understand?" Catalina retorted violently.
Dramora's eyes were like torches, staring at the two of them with rage. Rex and Caterina also showed no weakness, and a Ling Ran aura burned fiercely in their hearts. In the face of such a large and dangerous enemy, courage makes them resolute and fearless.
