Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Metal Dragon
"Wow, wow, what kind of monster is this?" At the end of the secret passage, a behemoth stood in front of everyone. Joshua looked closely, and the behemoth in front of him looked like a dragon, and its whole body was made of red metal, and it was flapping the metal wings on its back, suspended in the air.
"Oh no! This is the Empire's latest all-domain general-purpose enhanced mobile weapon, the Metal Dragon. Frem exclaimed.
"Another Einstein invention?" said Gerant, grimacingly.
"This metal dragon was developed by the Empire not long ago. We've suffered a lot at its hands. "The Imperial Knights defeated a squadron of nearly 100 infantry with this dragon. ”
Joshua's eyes widened and he looked incredulously at the dragon that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Be careful, everyone. Now is not the time to be in a daze. You notice that it doesn't have a mouth, it looks like there's something going to shoot out of it. With a wave of his hand, Geraint erected a barrier of fighting energy with his fighting energy, blocking everyone in front of him to prevent the metal dragon from spitting.
The metal dragon hovered in front of everyone, and a sharp gaze shot at the people of Geraint, but it never attacked, and a roar came out of its mouth.
"I didn't expect the Imperial Knights to prepare a big gift for us at the entrance of this passage, and the Kidd brothers seem to have become smarter!" said Frem, "They have arranged for the metal dragon to guard the city hall, so that they can gather all the forces of Flame Chaser to defend the city." ”
Geraint asked, "But the Kidd brothers don't know about the secret passage, right? ”
"It was in this place that we escaped from the Flame Chase City through the secret passages, and we disappeared in this place. Jace and the others couldn't find the entrance to the secret passage, but they were able to determine the general location of the secret passage. "That's why they've sent metal dragons to guard here." ”
The metal dragon writhed its huge body and began to roar, and Geraint gathered his fighting energy to the tip of the sword and launched it, but the metal dragon's defense was already unbelievably strong, and several fighting qi mixed with holy light hit the metal dragon, like a mud cow entering the sea, unable to damage it, at most making its body partially scorched or slightly dented. However, this made the metal dragon even more violent, and its roar became more and more crazy. Suddenly, a huge column of water erupted from the metal dragon's mouth.
"Everyone, be careful!" Frem quickly chanted a spell to erect a wall of flames, "I didn't expect that the water jets from this metal dragon contained powerful water-based magic. ”
Although ordinary dragons can shoot blazing flames from their mouths, this metal dragon's mouth actually shoots out a column of water. Frem's wall of fire is made of a special element of fire, and when the water jet hits the wall, it begins to evaporate rapidly, making a "squeaking" sound.
"This is no ordinary water column, the inventor has infused the metal dragon's body with powerful water magic that can restrain my wall of flames. Frem noticed that the jet of water spewed out by the metal dragon was very special, "My flame wall won't last long, everyone is ready to retreat." ”
The metal dragon roared continuously, and the water column gradually doused Frem's wall of flames. It writhed its massive body, stretched out its claws and slammed into the crowd. The group was forced to flee by the metal dragon, and the walls were littered with dents left by the dragon's impact.
"Either way, we have to find a way to fix it. Geraint shouted, "Since this dragon can use water magic, we'll have to outwit it." ”
Geraint observed the structure of the entrance to the secret passage and said to the group, "This guy is huge, we can lead it to a narrow place." Geraint pointed to a hallway to the left.
"Haha, then let me lure him!" Joshua volunteered, grimacing at the metal dragon.
"Hey, you big stupid dragon, come after me!" Joshua said briskly as he ran down the hallway. The metal dragon seemed to be able to understand human speech and became manic. The water column and the fire dragon were still clashing violently, but the metal dragon turned around and began to chase Joshua. Perhaps Jace had given the machine an order not to let people enter the town hall from here, and now that Joshua had escaped from its control, it began to turn its attention to Joshua.
"What nonsense!" Geralt saw this, and quickly chased after the metal dragon. Geraint tried to hinder the metal dragon's pursuit, raising his sword and slashing at the metal dragon's tail, but the metal dragon seemed to have eyes on the back of its head, and with its tail, with a random flick, Geraint immediately bounced out, causing him to crash into the wall.
Joshua ran forward as fast as he could, and rushed into the narrow hallway. But the metal dragon was in hot pursuit, swaying through the hallway with its powerful power. Joshua's footsteps and the roar of a metal dragon echoed throughout the hallway.
Seeing that the metal dragon was about to catch up with him, Joshua fell to the ground with the cleverness, dodging a deadly dive of the metal dragon. Joshua looked up to see the entire metal dragon's body passing over him. Joshua had an idea, and jumped onto the dragon's tail.
"Joshua, you have to hurry!" shouted Geraint as he saw Joshua jump onto the dragon.
"Knight Geraint, I seem to have thought of a good idea!" Frem glanced at Geraint, "Let's hurry to the exit of the hallway." ”
Hearing Frem's words, Geraint instantly understood his plan. "Friend, it's dangerous here, you stay here and take care of yourself, and Master Frem and I will go to the exit of the corridor!" Because the dragon blocked his way, the mysterious man who was originally going to leave first did not go far.
The metal dragon found someone standing on top of him, and became even more furious, writhing his body in an attempt to throw the other person off of him. Joshua hugged the dragon's tail tightly and slowly crawled upward.
"Oops, I didn't even think about how to get down when I climbed on top of this guy just now!" Joshua felt the air flow from the dragon's writhing body so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.
The metal dragon began to slap its tail against the walls of the corridor in order to shake off its enemies, and the entire corridor began to shake violently, scattering broken stones everywhere.
"It's now!" Frem exclaimed, "Knight Geraint, get Joshua off this guy!"
"Joshua hurry up and jump this way this way, I'll catch you down there!" Geraint shouted at Joshua as she burst into the hallway.
"Uncle Geraint, this guy has so much strength that I'm almost dizzy when I turn my head from it!" Joshua heard Geraint's cry and barely opened one eye to observe Geraint's position.
"It would be nice if there was some enchantment that could trap this guy for a moment!" thought to himself, as his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted to the mysterious man outside the hallway.
"Miss Mystery, please come and do us a favor!" Geraint waved his hand, "Is there a way you can trap this guy with some magic, even in the blink of an eye." ”
"I've never tried to trap such a behemoth with magic. The mysterious man ran into the hallway and said, "But now I have to bite the bullet." ”
The mysterious man raised his hands and offered a kind of thunder and lightning enchantment. The lightning seemed to have an effect on the metal, and the metal dragon's body froze in mid-air as if it were entangled. "Joshua is now!" called out Geraint.
"Wow, that's numb! This guy has electricity on him!" Joshua quickly let go of his hands and jumped off the metal dragon's body. Geraint hurriedly rushed forward and hugged Joshua.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the metal dragon had broken free from the shackles of the barrier and roared again.
"Run!" Gerante quickly ran to the exit of the hallway with Joshua and the mysterious man. Taking advantage of the metal dragon hovering in the hallway, Frem finished chanting and unleashed a powerful dragon spell. The metal dragon hurriedly opened its mouth and sprayed a huge jet of water to block the fire dragon's attack.
"Hmph, even if your water column can withstand the fire dragon's attack, this corridor will definitely not be able to withstand the power of the fire dragon. With a contemptuous smile on his face, Frem unleashed several fireballs in his hand, but the fireballs didn't seem to be flying in the direction of the metal dragon.
