Section 50 The Battle of Life and Death
Dramoura was the first to attack, opening her mouth wide to show her white teeth, aiming at Rex to bite down. The two of them immediately jumped to both sides, and the dragon was knocked out of the air, but it didn't stop moving, and quickly turned around and attacked Katarina, trying to knock her over the moment she landed.
Rex grabbed the open space around its neck and slashed at it with his sword. However, he was surprised to find that the Nightingale's Blade had no effect on the black-scaled armor that was as hard as steel, like cutting on cotton, and could not even scratch them. He didn't believe it, and slashed, stabbed, and sawed continuously, but nothing changed, and all attacks were ineffective. He felt like a clown jumping off the beam in front of the dragon.
However, these attacks also served his goal, successfully attracting the attention of Lamora. The dragon left Caterina behind and instead stared at Rex, smirking haughtily, "Hahahahaha! Mortal boy, you overestimate your abilities. Trying to kill me is just wishful thinking. It's not a child's game, it's war, a real war!"
"I knew, I knew it from the beginning. Rex replied, "So, I'm serious about fighting." ”
"Just that scrap metal?" the dragon sneered, "If you want to win, show your skills!"
"Don't worry about you, we will definitely defeat you and use our own strength. ”
The demon dragon snorted disdainfully.
Rex realizes that the sword can't hurt it, so he decides to use magic against it. By this time, Caterina had already attacked from the other side, and she bent her waist and rolled forward for some distance, close to Lamoura's wings, struck hard with her dagger, and then quickly escaped and jumped away.
The dragon roared and took two steps back. yelled, "Despicable means. Then he opened his mouth wide and smashed it down on Caterina like a raised fist.
Rex recharges his energy and immediately attacks the dragon. He threw the lightning ball in his hand at the dragon, and the lightning exploded on it. Dramora took a blow and shook her body back two steps, a few pieces of scale armor falling off her neck. It howled in pain and flapped its wings at Rex. Rex couldn't dodge and was hit by a wing, nearly flying off a cliff.
Caterina screamed, relieved to find him holding on to a rock and hanging from the cliff. Turning back to focus on the dragon, she was going to steer it to the other side, buying her lover enough time for him to climb back to the top of the mountain.
Like a bee, she stabbed the dragon's feet, wings, tail, and jaw with her dagger. Take advantage of your speed and concentrate your fire on the enemy for a short period of time. The dragon defended itself with its wings, and when Caterina stopped attacking, it began to fight back, cocking its tail and whipping her like a whip.
Rex struggled to climb the cliff, not daring to delay for a second. He saw Caterina like a dexterous cat, jumping around the dragon to avoid the tail. The dragon's tail is so powerful that it can easily shatter boulders. Lapping on the ground, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked.
"Be sure to avoid that pesky tail. Rex thought to himself.
He returned to the fray, continuing to attack Lamoura's head with a lightning bolt, blasting it into the eye. The demon dragon was flanked from both sides, and involuntarily retreated, and flew into the air with a wave of its wings. Unable to attack the dragon anymore, Caterina walked over to Rex and observed the dragon's movements in order to provide him with visual aid.
Dramora flew higher and higher, almost disappearing into the clouds. Still, the whistling sound indicates that it is still there. Looming, flying around like a ghost, it took four or five rounds to land on the ground, stopping on the boulder where it had been standing.
Rex took a closer look and found that the beast was still strong, muscular, and had thick skin and armor, and the attack he had just made had no effect. Its muscles, spirit, and strength are still so full and intact. The result frustrated him. He had dealt with Wyverns with Sarn and Will, and he would always deal some damage to the other party after a fight. But today is completely different, they are like clowns, despised and humiliated by the magic dragon. All efforts have had no deterrent effect on it at all.
"That's all you can do?," Dramora scoffed, "I expected you to surprise me, but I was disappointed by your performance. That's the end of the warm-up, and now I'm going to go all out. ”
The two set up a defensive formation.
"Rex, it's not good for us to go on like this, find a way to defeat it. Caterina said worriedly.
"That's exactly what I want to say, get out with Excalibur!"
"Good. ”
Before Caterina could pull out Noktuna's sword, the dragon had already swooped down, a pair of steel claws heading straight for the necks of the two. Rex reacted quickly and immediately swung the Nightingale Blade to resist. The steel claws grabbed the blade with a clamour of thrust, nearly knocking him to the ground.
Dramora flapped her wings and grew in strength. Even with his best efforts, Rex is still pushed to the side of the mountain, and his situation is becoming more and more dangerous. At this time, Caterina let out a loud roar and used the dragon's roar - ruthless thrust. Interrupting the steel claw's attack, the dragon involuntarily retreated two feet before stopping in the air.
"Ah, mere mortal, why do you use dragon magic!" asked Lamoura aloud.
"Why, do I surprise you with dragon magic?" said Caterina smugly.
"Since the death of the Imperial Monarch Barguf II Podtam Yuri, you are the second mortal I have ever seen to use dragon magic, which is not common. Dramora muttered to herself, "Where did you learn dragon magic?"
"Haha, I'm unheard!" Rex scoffed, "You don't know Greybeard?"
"What? you said Graybeard, those three soft eggs?" Dramorrah's eyes widened, surprised that Graybeard would use dragon's roar magic.
"That's right, I learned it from Graybeard. Caterina said.
"Impossible, impossible. Dramora shook her head and denied, "Those three poor creatures can't master the way of the dragon's roar, you lie to me!"
"Nobody asks you to believe me," she said, "and you're going to lie to me." ”
"Oh, Lord Alduin, I didn't expect things to be in trouble, what should I do, Lord Alduin!" said the dragon in annoyance.
Rex and Caterina looked at each other, not expecting such a dramatic change in the situation on the battlefield. But they are still on guard against the enemy.
Dramora seemed to be in a stalemate of thoughts, manic, agitated, staring at her blood-red eyes and letting out a sneer. "In that case, I must kill you. Lord Alduin's grand plans must not be ruined by these inferior mortals again, and they must take their lives!"
It let out a long roar, opened its mouth wide and spewed a violent ice storm at them. The chill hit, like when they first stepped onto the Glacier Path. Rex was about to dodge when he suddenly felt warmth all over his body. He saw that Caterina was holding Noctuna Excalibur, and the dragon fire separated the ice storm on both sides, forming a protective circle around them.
Seeing that the Ice Storm could no longer hurt them, the dragon leaped, stretched its wings, and plunged into the air again. It roared, roared, and flew around, spitting ice storms at them at every opportunity.
Their grip on the sword was tense, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes, for fear of being attacked by the demon dragon. Rex secretly sighed that he was protected by the Excalibur, otherwise he would have died under the powerful magic of the enemy.
Dramora distanced itself from them, it was its ruse, and it was a tactic. It is easy to avoid Rex's lightning balls, but it can also constantly harass them to increase the pressure. It is looking for the most solution that can be won with one blow. Until this end, it has been hovering in the air.
This protracted battle has been going on for several hours, and neither side can defeat the other. Rex attacks the dragon in a row with lightning balls, but it is too nimble in its field for lightning to barely touch it. Rex was anxious, a protracted battle was not suitable for an explosive assassin like him, and if the dragon was not defeated, they could die under the pair of steel claws.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered another special use of the Excalibur that Jazz had taught him. He took the sword from her hand, raised it above his head and shouted to the sky, "Come back, Noktuna!"
Caterina looked at Rex curiously, not understanding what he was going to do. Dramora was just as curious, and when he called out Noktuna's name, she couldn't help but sneer coldly, "Hey, hey, hey, are you being funny? Noktuna has long been driven out of the sky by Lord Alduin, and you think she'll follow your call to come here? mortal!"
"Rex, what are you doing?" asked Caterina aloud, "I thought you'd take a sword and cut that bastard." Also, who is Noktuna?"
"The owner of this sword, Excalibur is not only protected by dragon fire, but also has a special ability to summon Noctuna herself. Rex replied.
"I see, you're amazing!"
"Hehe, boy, don't be delusional, she won't....!"
Suddenly, the sky was lightning and thunder. A flash of red light flashed, and a ball of flame fell from the sky, extremely fast, and directly attacked Dramora's back. Due to carelessness, the demon dragon was struck by a sudden burst of flames, and it roared and rolled twice in the sky before it steadied itself. "Impossible, this can't be." ”
The flaming Noctuna slowly descended from the sky, standing by Rex and Katarina's side. Looking at the Excalibur in Rex's hand, he asked softly, "Elf, you summoned me?"
Rex looked at Excalibur and then at Noctuna, nodding silently.
"Very well, thank you for telling me. Noctuna grinned, "But let's talk later, we have urgent things to do now." ”
After saying that, she turned her head to look at the demon dragon that stopped in mid-air and shouted, "Dramora, I really didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. ”
"You, you, you, how did you do that?" asked Lamoura in fear, "Lord Alduin has already driven you all out of the sky, why are you still coming back?"
"Aha! you're surprised, aren't you," Noctuna continued, "Deathwing did drive us out of the sky, and the secret to my return lies in this sword. ”
"Secret?"
"You're going to die anyway, so I might as well reveal something more to you. Noktuna continued in a calm tone, "When I was building this Excalibur, I extracted a handful of blood from my heart and fused with it, so a contract was formed between me and Excalibur, and by summoning the Secret Word, it could summon me from another dimension to the space where Excalibur was located. So, just now the elf summoned me back through a contract, I didn't expect it. ”
Noktuna burst out laughing.
