(Chapter 46) The Dragon Slayer (Ask for Follow-up!) )
Aether Dragon.
No one knows what they are, and the origins of their species are still a mystery, and even in the archives of the Old Human Empire, dragons are described only in a few paragraphs.
According to scholars who have studied dragons in the past, the origins of these mighty creatures, the largest planetary and sea creatures that roam in space, may be traced back to the birth of the first star in the Milky Way, far older than most intelligent civilizations.
Therefore, some scholars believe that they are not creatures of the material universe, but come from another chaotic space that is connected to the universe but has different laws, and they only strayed here for some unknown reasons.
They feed on the energy emitted by stars, often in packs, and form families like space whales that also live in the void.
At present, after a long voyage, the fleet has successfully arrived in the Norton system, and at the moment when the battleship drilled out of the galaxy channel, Gu Fan, who was located in the Queen of Glory, found the astonishing huge creature at a glance.
At the moment, it is vigilantly cruising in the middle of the galaxy, constantly circling around a crimson asteroid.
Looking at the mighty beast, a large dinosaur-like head dragged a worm-like slender body, the back of which was covered with a heavy carapace, and four transparent wings on the left and right, which swayed gently like oars.
The beast's body shimmered with an orange-yellow glow, and it suddenly looked like a flame was burning within its body, bursting out of every crack in its body.
According to records from recent years, if nothing else, the giant beast in front of you should be the last bloodline of the Aether dragon race, and for some unknown reason, the dragon has been guarding the strange crimson asteroid for nearly a thousand years.
Any attempt to get close to it and the asteroid would enrage the manic beast, and countless ships have fallen to the Aetherdragon's mighty breath to date.
And not far from that asteroid is Gu Fan's destination this time, a human empire recovery base used to store and dispose of abandoned warships in the past, located on a desolate planet.
It seems that since humanity hastily abandoned the Norton system, the dragon has set its sights on this place and made it its lair.
Soon, Gu Fan, who was standing by the porthole, sighed a little helplessly.
"What a pretty girl."
If it weren't for those scientific and technological materials, Gu Fan really wanted to try what it would be like to feed such a huge pet.
Unfortunately, the brute got in his way......
A moment later, under Gu Fan's order, the fire-class aircraft carriers in the fleet were separated from the queue alone, and since they had not yet carried fighters for the time being, this huge mothership could not only provide radar warning services for the fleet.
At the moment, its biggest role is to share the attack from the Aether Dragon for the entire fleet, and although it is positioned as an aircraft carrier, its hull is after all based on a fire-class battlecruiser.
Its multiple Void Shield system can help her withstand incredible firepower, even on par with the Queen of Glory in terms of defense alone.
As the mothership sailed directly in front of the fleet, her massive hull managed to attract the attention of the Aetherdragon.
The dragon apparently saw it as a threat, and it didn't take long for the dragon's silent roar to open its mouth like a black hole in the abyss.
A planetary-sized furious beast, even the Queen of Glory looked so small in front of it, and as the beating ionic flames began to gradually converge in its giant mouth, it was aiming in the direction of the fire-level aircraft carrier not far away.
For this reason, Gu Fan specially ordered it to be overloaded with the Void Shield, so that it could resist the deadly attack that was enough to destroy a fleet, and at the same time, in order to avoid being affected, he also made those Viper-class frigates scatter in a scattered formation in the direction of the mothership on both sides.
While the fleet was still maneuvering, like a newborn star, the ionic flames spewed out by the dragon converged into a torrent of energy, like a gushing spring water, which swallowed the fire-class aircraft carrier in an instant.
At the same time, several bolts of lightning formed by the convergence of bioelectricity were also released from the synapses on the back of the ether dragon, although they had been carefully calculated at the beginning, but looking at such a fierce attack, Gu Fan couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.
"What is the condition of the mothership?"
In the face of the inquiry, Xuefeng answered truthfully.
"The Void Shield's energy loss rate is over 77% and is climbing towards a dangerous 80% value."
Hearing this, Gu Fan didn't speak but looked ahead silently, his sword-like gaze was fixed on the dragon's body, he was waiting for a suitable time to appear......
As the battle progressed, a fire-enhanced Viper-class escort team quickly approached the dragon's top of the dragon, and soon round after round of shells were raining down on the dragon's carapace back.
Although this attack did not cause enough damage to the target, it further angered the beast, and as the effect of the dragon's breath ended, the fire-class aircraft carrier managed to survive, but her Void Shield had also reached the limit of its bearing.
Once the shield was lifted, the mothership lifted its bow and tried to flee towards the top of the beast, which was not clumsy despite its sheer size.
Seeing that the target had the intention of escaping, the giant beast, which had long lost its mind, quickly chased after it, but at the moment when it changed its posture and raised its chest slightly, Gu Fan knew that the time attack he was looking for had already come.
At this moment, while the Aether Dragon's attention was successfully distracted, the Queen of Glory had sailed below the dragon, accompanied by another breakthrough fleet.
Before Gu Fan could give the order, the Glorious Queen's extremely belligerent system had already taken the initiative to lock on to her prey, and the fortress-level cannon and complex weapon array it carried were already ready for everything.
Gu Fan's target was the chest of the giant beast, and it was the most vulnerable heart of the dragon that was protected under the heavy carapace of the beast, and it was the best attack distance as the fleet quickly approached.
Not long. Gu Fan's firm voice soon came from inside the empty bridge.
......
"It's now! Fire! ”
