Chapter 45: The Red Dragon
The red dragon, covered in blood, tumbled and fell from the sky.
Its wings had been snapped, and the cartilage that held the fuchsia wing membrane from the inside was broken, and the pain was so intense that even the will of the primeval dragon could not bear it. The red dragon roared wildly, trying to vent the pain that had driven him insane. Waves of distorted sound spurted blood from the red dragon's mouth, scattering with minced flesh.
Scarlet Moon endured the painful message from her body, stubbornly raised her head, and above the sky, a dark blue beast was entrenched in the center of the blue sky.
The behemoth's slender body was thicker than the red dragon's waist, but its length was too long, which made it look slender. The giant beast had the head of a dragon, and the eleven curved horns of different shapes on the crown of its head reflected the light of the cold forest.
Except for a pair of huge wings that covered half of the sky, there was nothing superfluous on the beast's body, and the scales that fit each other wrapped around the beast's powerful body, only the scales on its back stretched outward, growing a row of jagged protrusions.
"That's ...... What?" Seeing the terrifying creature ambushing the red dragon clearly, Wang Ming asked involuntarily.
"That's the blue sky, a cheap seed left over from antiquity. Crimson explained, clutching her chest.
The scarlet moon fluttered from the float disc and instructed, "Flee quickly! this is no longer a battlefield where mortals can stay!"
Wang Ming pulled out the Alps from behind him, mobilized his whole body's magic power and fighting spirit, and was about to use the increase of the artifact to forcibly cast a high-level spell.
"Do you want me to leave you alone and run away! I can't do such a thing!"
Yueying also raised her longbow and stepped on the edge of the floating saucer: "Even if we want to escape, we may not be able to escape, right? Do you think we'll be able to escape?"
Cangyang pushed the glasses that didn't save zài. Expressionless analysis: "Crimson Moon's red dragon body lost its combat effectiveness in one minute. The average speed of the enemy is Mach 7, and the maximum value is Mach 11, and there is a high probability that the opponent has not turned on full speed. The acceleration measurement is completed, and the average acceleration is three times the gravity, with the highest peak being forty-seven times...... If we were to escape, our success rate would be less than a percentage point, even with the rapid rush of the spell level. We can survive up to thirty seconds longer. ”
After listening to Cangyang's analysis, Xing Lian took out a crystal staff from his waist bag: "This is the staff of any door, it can be used forty times, maybe we can use it to escape?" As long as it is used instantaneously when it is close, or triggered to use, we should be able to support it until the crash landing ......"
Yu Huang shook his head and vetoed: "Since just now, the nearby space has become extremely stable, and I'm afraid that ordinary teleportation abilities are no longer usable." ”
Scarlet Moon coughed violently and spit out the blood clot in her mouth: "It's useless, that's its 'Free Sky' realm." Within this realm, the guy's speed will be amplified to the limit of what the flesh can bear. And if he doesn't want to, we can't use any teleportation spells. Maybe the forbidden spell-level teleportation spell can barely be unleashed, but I can't cast this level of ...... cough cough cough cough ......"
Tolia's left hand raised to her ear, and Lilith's whisper came through her fingers: "Let's run away! As long as you turn on the Holy Shield and jump down, the other party will not catch up for a target!"
Tolia grabbed her left hand that was dragging her to jump out, and was almost pulled off the float by Lilith: "No! I have already signed a contract with Miss Tsukizakura! How can I leave her and run for my life? And for the sake of my own life, I will deliberately destroy the glory of the knight, I will never allow this kind of thing! If you want to run for your life, I can give up my hand, you go alone!"
Although Lilith didn't need oxygen, everyone still heard her exhale deeply: "Sister, how can I live without you!"
"Illya......
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Marisa pops the hedron in her pocket, and though she is reluctant, she may be the only one who can save them now.
The voice of the blue sky is unexpectedly elegant, if you don't look at the occasion, it is estimated that everyone will think that this voice belongs to a young bachelor.
"Scarlet Moon, have you decided to be our enemy? The Lord asked me to convey that I can spare you and your companions as long as you are willing to turn against us. As long as you hand over the Demon King, everyone can leave alive. Not only that, but you can also get the friendship of the Lord. ”
Scarlet Moon spat at the beast and scolded viciously, "! I sold the whole clan for a public toilet girl! I, Scarlet Moon Scarlett, will never, never be in the same league as you!"
Hearing Scarlet Moon's words, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the giant beast: "Do you want to sit on the throne given by my lord, or do you want to be buried in the cemetery of the dragon clan?"
Scarlet Moon couldn't stop laughing, accidentally involved the wound in her lungs, and coughed up a large blood clot: "Ahem...... Of course, our graveyard! That kind of dirty throne is only suitable for your filthy ass!"
"Scarlet Moon, you're looking for death! I retract the preface, when you are caught by me, even if you kneel down and beg me, I will find a hundred male shadow dragons to take your turn to die!"
Scarlet Moon retracted her expression, leaving only a serious face: "Then I'll let you know what is the true strength of the Ancient Red Dragon, 'Crimson Purgatory'!"
As soon as the words fell, the body of the red dragon that fell under the cloud burst into countless red thick smoke, as if a large piece of red paint had been thrown into the water. Little by little, the smoke disappeared in place, and crimson points of light appeared around Crimson Moon, and the more the smoke disappeared, the denser the points of light became, and by the time the smoke completely disappeared, Crimson Moon's body had been submerged in a sea of crimson light.
Crimson Moon stood up straight, staring at the giant beast, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "I used to think about why we live, and then I realized that it was because we had something that sustained us to live. ”
Holding back the pain in her chest, Scarlet Moon raised her voice: "Maybe power, violence, and temptation will make us compromise, and we will give up a lot in order to continue our meager life." Like dreams. Such as dignity. But if we want to live well. You can't give up a lot of things, not even the slightest regression! It's easy to live, but it's hard to live with dignity, and I will never bow down to you! Face the wrath of Crimson Purgatory!"
Scarlet Moon's voice became higher and higher, and the last sentence was almost shouted, and as the word anger was shouted, the points of light rushed into Scarlet Moon's body, and the whole person exuded a dazzling brilliance as if it was burning.
Wang Ming narrowed his eyes. With his hands in front of his eyes, he could see a pair of gorgeous crimson wings growing from Scarlet Moon's back. The light on Crimson Moon's body faded slightly, revealing her body wrapped in battle robes, and the remaining points of light condensed into a blood-colored long sword in her hand, like a transparent sword body carved from crystal, and the magic flow representing flames continued to circulate.
The blue clouds opened a huge mouth large enough to swallow an adult whale in one bite, and a bullet of light of ever-changing colors blended between the white teeth of the forest, and his eyes locked tightly on the crimson moon, and the shining figure was deeply imprinted in the vertical pupils.
A pale flame ignited on the blood-colored sword. The surrounding sunlight began to dim, almost instantaneously. The sun overhead was completely extinguished, and the free sunlight dissipated in a breath. It was dark all around, even in the middle of a starless and moonless night. In this darkness, the Scarlet Moon is the only source of light, and the dazzling red light outlines the slender outline of the Scarlet Moon, and in front of the giant beasts that emit a faint blue light around it, the Scarlet Moon is very conspicuous and small.
The voice of the clear blue cloud sky echoed above the sky in the form of magic energy shaking the air: "I can't help you if you want to live with dignity, but I can let you die with dignity!"
Then the ball of light in the giant beast's mouth burst, and the furious elemental energy far beyond the upper limit of everyone's sensing converged into a thick strand, rushing out with the momentum of the collapse of the heavenly river.
Scarlet Moon raised her blood-colored sword, and although her voice was soft, it was still clear and audible: "You want to kill me?"
The sword erupted with a dazzling glow of blood, staining the surrounding clouds the color of hell.
The expected impact didn't come from the hilt of the sword, and the pillar of light rushed past the crimson moon.
The deflected pillar of light directly hit the floating disc behind Scarlet Yue, where Wang Ming and the others were.
After a few seconds, the pillar of light gradually stopped, dissipating into the air, along with all the people on the floating saucer.
Realizing that she had been deceived, Scarlet Moon's eyes turned red, and she roared angrily, "Isn't your opponent me!
The blue sky laughed from above: "When did I respond to your declaration of war? ”
Scarlet Moon's roar was a little choked: "Bastard...... Bastards! They're all kids! You've got it!"
The giant beast's reply was indifferent: "The lord's order is to bring back your soul, the demon king or something, can't you just kill it?" As for the child...... Do you think I still care about that?"
"Damn it......" Scarlet Moon seemed to have something in her throat, and the sourness made her almost speechless.
Zhan Lan Yunkong asked playfully, "What are you talking about?" I can't hear it~"
"I said, you give me death!"
――――――――――――
Looking at the scarred Moon who was trapped in the Ice Hell Technique, the blue clouds chuckled proudly.
"What 'Crimson Purgatory'? I didn't even use half of my strength, and I fell down like a dead dog?"
The order given by the Lord is to bring back the complete Crimson Moon Soul, should I transport him back in its entirety, or strip the soul? If it is in the main plane, it will be a bit difficult to strip the soul. After all, his own strength is greatly limited here, which may destroy the integrity of the soul, and as for bringing it back completely, it seems to be a little difficult to teleport to the heavenly realm with an ancient dragon.
But the Lord is saying that bringing the soul of Scarlet Moon to her "in front of her", that is, her presence in front of the projection in the Holy See, is it also in front of her?
Thinking of this, the blue cloud sky picked up the hollow ice ball condensed by the Ice Hell Technique, unfurled the huge and somewhat deformed broken bat wings, and flew towards the southeast.
―――――――――――― "You want to take her away, ask me first!" Wang Ming's figure slowly emerged from the void.
The pupils of the clear blue sky contracted slightly: "Impossible! Once my 'free sky' opens......
The rest of the crowd emerged from the void one by one, and around them, a silvery-white translucent spherical barrier was wrapped.
"Nothing is impossible. Your realm can be isolated from ordinary teleportation. But for forbidden spells. This kind of seal is too thin. Wang Ming pointed to the light mask in front of him, and the perfect magic circuit slowly rotated within the barrier.
The beast's pupils contracted again: "God's barrier?
Wang Ming didn't answer, just stared at the ice ball in the mouth of the giant beast, and through the blurred ice, the scarlet moon slept quietly in the center of the hollow ball.
"Give me the Scarlet Moon, and spare you from dying. Wang Ming's voice was surprisingly calm.
The giant beast recovered from its surprise and couldn't help but laugh out loud when it heard his words. Joke. He is a sky dragon above all living beings, even if he is a god, he has been torn a few by himself, and now he is actually threatened by a little kid, it feels funny to think about it.
Wang Ming closed his eyes and began to slow down his breathing: "Then don't blame me." ”
Yueying, Xinglian, and Cangyang's hands pressed on Wang Ming's back, and three completely different forces were infused into Wang Ming's body, stirring up infinite potential.
The feather phoenix lifted the Alps in his hand, supporting the huge consumption of the God's Barrier.
――――――――――――
Wang Ming already knew that he was his target when the blue sky had just locked on the scarlet moon, and it was too late to take any measures in such a short period of time - of course. Even if you cast a fifth-order protective magic, you can't stop that breath even a bit.
The only hope. It is the Alps that are pinned on the hands.
The mage's spell casting system is very strict, and how many levels of mages can only cast as many levels of magic, because whether it is the consumption of mana or the difficulty of controlling the spell, mages are not allowed to make over-the-top spell casting.
However, there are always exceptions, and there is a supermagic specialty called [Transcendent Control] that can be used to cast spells at different levels, and depending on the situation, Transcendental Spell Control allows the caster to cast more advanced spells and consume varying amounts of extra mana. Of course, this spell must be very unstable, and the various effects are not as good as the full version, and it is very difficult for the mage to control zhì, and the chance of elemental backlash will also increase.
Originally, Wang Ming was just a second-order mage, even with the blessing of the crimson moon's robe, he could perform fifth-order magic beyond the level. Even so, it was impossible to rely solely on fifth-order magic to defend against the terrifying breath of the Sky Dragon, which was comparable to a forbidden spell. The only hope is to cast a defensive forbidden spell.
Even a magic apprentice who has just been apprenticed for three days knows that only forbidden spells can fight forbidden spells.
Wang Ming had cast a forbidden spell [Doomsday Judgment] a long time ago, when he only had a first order, so the map cannon-level magic that was originally enough to reshape the shape of the continent's western coastline only produced a small spark.
Although the spark burned several mountains under the butterfly effect.
In order for a second-order minor mage to cast a forbidden spell, a transcendent control method is obviously not enough. The moment Wang Ming breathed out, he sent an application to Xinglian's brain through Guò Mind Link, asking her to perform a [Spiritual Innovation] to Cangyang.
The role of spiritual innovation is to re-select the skills and techniques he has learned, and what Wang Ming asked Cangyang to choose is a specialty called [Resonance Spell Casting]. The owner of this feat, can connect several casters' energy circuits together to cast large spells that cannot be supported by a single person. The moment Cangyang finished building his specialty, he added everyone to the caster sequence.
After Xinglian communicated the psychic link to everyone, the psychic innovation was also thrown on him, and he quickly built a first-class mage rank. Although the temporarily constructed ranks cannot last forever and will disappear at any time, there is still enough time to cope with the current situation.
Then, Moon Sakura activated her Moon Priesthood potential, blessed everyone with all known beneficial states, and channeled Moonlight mana, filling the vast celestial rune circle around her, and the intricate lines lit up with a pale golden glow under the effect of Moonlight mana.
With the help of his ability to control the spell, the feather phoenix deployed nearly a thousand runes to start rotating along the established track, and to control more than 100 stripes of the path from breaking or overloading, each of those runes contained endless energy, each of which was enough to supply a first-order magic. With the sweat of the feather phoenix, those torrents of magic that were originally enough to flatten a mountain were magnified countless times under the action of loops and runes.
Toria and Lilith urged the Divine Fighting Qi and stood at the front of the team, just trying to block the breath a little bit, to buy time for the activation of the forbidden spell, as long as the Holy Shield Technique at the tip of the sword was compressed at one point and opened in an instant, even the breath of the Sky Dragon could not penetrate Toria's Fighting Qi defense, and Lilith's precise operation was enough to stab the weakest point of the breath energy.
Marisa was excluded on the grounds that she was a high-ranking child and did not need to work. Moreover, Cangyang's resonance spell has reached the upper limit of the number of people, which is not enough to add anyone into the casting sequence, even Tolia and Lilith have only opened the soul channel for command and information exchange, and the magic energy channel for sharing energy is still closed.
Today's spell casting circuit has become very unstable due to overload, and if you add someone in casually, maybe the entire forbidden spell will collapse directly.
When [Transcendent Control Method] is used to cast spells at the next level, there is one thing that is very annoying, that is, the extra magic consumption, not to mention the terrifying magic consumption of the forbidden spell itself, just the extra magic consumption of crossing the seventh-order spell casting is enough to drain Wang Ming's soul sea.
The magic that supports a forbidden spell is actually far from the earth-destroying power when the forbidden spell is really unfolded, for example, if the magic is used to fight, the magic value is the military salary, and a militia squad needs to pay a small amount of military salary, and no matter how poor the lord is, he can pay it. A legion requires an astronomical amount of consumption.
If a team of twenty people is compared to a first-level magic, then the forbidden spell is a million-level group army.
If one million people are really paid, it will not be long before the treasury of even the richest will be depleted. A truly powerful mage, like a good strategist, only needs a small amount of consumption to drive countless armies to fight for themselves, let the armies create their own wealth to feed themselves, and let the magic generate their own magic to support the forbidden spell.
However, no matter how strong the technology is, the cost is still very high. At least Wang Ming and his party will definitely not be able to afford it.
Just when Wang Ming was about to burn his soul completely, Cangyang pressed against the palm of his vest, and a stream of condensed magic power came over.
This flow of magic containing almost infinite energy has successfully filled the most basic circuit, and even (to be continued......
