Chapter 100 Aiming at the Golden Dragon
In the clouds, Xu Yue looked at the black dragon raging in the fleet below, his face slightly stiff.
This guy was stronger than he expected. He destroyed a large armed flying ship in ten seconds, and his body was only slightly injured by the magic cannon. This strength was too much.
And just looking at the scene where the black dragon used its flesh wings to destroy all long-range attacks, it was hard for him to imagine how Lambert used a small arrow to directly cut a dragon wing into rags. It was a bit too ridiculous.
The biggest possibility he could think of was that there were other forces involved, such as the sleeping goddess who covered the entire Altria continent with dreams, otherwise there was no way to explain the strange defeat of the black dragon.
"The will of the goddess of Altria..."
While Xu Yue was in a trance, the battle below the clouds had come to an end. After the black dragon's massacre, the flying ship fleet was almost wiped out, and the coalition forces in the valley also fled. Without the containment of high-end combat power, the sheer number of people had no meaning to the black dragon.
In the face of a dragon's breath that could burn most of the coalition forces to death, Cook did not intend to lead everyone to launch a suicide attack. While the black dragon was chasing the flying ship, he ordered everyone to disperse and retreat, and to preserve their manpower first.
Above the valley, the black dragon looked at a large flying ship that was gradually escaping in the distance. When it was about to continue chasing it, it suddenly paused and turned its head to look in the direction of the back mountain. It felt the breath of its own kind there, and that was its old enemy.
Glancing disdainfully at the ants running around on the ground, the black dragon's wings set off a storm, and its huge body brought up billowing black and purple smoke, whistling towards the back mountain, leaving only the wreckage of the flying ship all over the valley.
"Captain Xinhuo, we..."
On the Sun Chaser, First Mate Barron looked at the billowing smoke that disappeared at the end of his vision with lingering fear, and asked Xu Yue hesitantly.
Although he knew that the Black Dragon would be very powerful, he realized how inadequate his previous imagination was after facing the might of the Black Dragon. This was not an opponent of the same level. Could Lord Bescode really destroy this monster?
"Raise the flying ship and chase after it."
Xu Yue's cold words echoed in his ears. Barron was stunned for a second, but he quickly reacted and left the deck to go to the cabin to convey the order.
A moment later, the flying ship started and began to climb up in the clouds. The Black Mountain Range was extremely high, and the speed of large flying ships climbing in the clouds could not be compared with the previous Black Dragon. Therefore, it would take some time to cross the mountains and reach the next battlefield.
However, it was not a big problem. The Black Dragon and the Dragon Slayers had to fight for a while, and it should be just right when he arrived.
…………
On the back of the Black Mountain, two dragon shadows, one black and one gold, were entangled in the sky, and golden red and dark purple dragon breaths were spitting at each other.
From time to time, large pieces of rubble on the mountain were smashed by the dragon wings and rolled to the ground, causing the dragon slayers on the ground to dodge.
"It's flying too high, we can't hit it!"
After breaking a falling rock, Barna looked at the two dragon shadows entangled in the air with a depressed face. He wanted to help, but he couldn't do anything. Except for Geraldt who could turn into a dragon, no one in the dragon slayer group could fly. Now he could only worry below.
That's right, the golden dragon fighting the black dragon in the sky now was the ranger Geraldt. Geraldt and his sister Aljeta were both transformed from ancient dragons that fell in the Three Dragons War. Since their birth, they have been wandering in every corner of the continent for an infinitely long time, guarding this world created by the goddess.
The beginning and end of the Three Dragons War is not complicated. In ancient times, after the goddess Althea was poisoned and fell into a deep sleep, the responsibility of guarding the Alteria continent was handed over to the ancient dragons and chaos dragons created by the goddess herself.
As a powerful and long-lived dragon race, they completed this task very well, keeping the continent peaceful and prosperous for a long time, with little killing and no war, and all races living and working in peace.
But the days of peace did not last long. Altaea fell asleep, but the culprit Vestiny was still unscathed. He was hiding in the mysterious continent, watching this world that made her extremely jealous with malicious eyes all the time. He wanted to destroy everything that Altaea cherished.
So, under the manipulation of Vestiny, another dragon race descended from the sky to the Altria continent. It was a giant dragon that spread darkness and death everywhere. It was called Shadow Dragon and came for destruction.
In this way, the battle of the three dragons broke out. After a fierce battle, Shadow Dragon was killed, but before dying, Shadow Dragon used Vestiny's divine power to pollute Chaos Dragon, one of the guardians. As a last resort, the ancient dragon and Chaos Dragon fought to the death again, and finally both sides died.
At this point, the Three Dragons War came to an end, and all three dragons that participated in the battle fell. The dragon crystal of the ancient dragon split into two dragons, one gold and one silver, which later became Gerald and Algerta, while the dragon crystal of the Chaos Dragon shattered into many fragments, giving birth to the dragon race that was once very popular on the continent. The birth of the black dragon was also foreshadowed at this time.
Now, it is precisely because of his identity as a dragon that Gerald can feel the signal that the black dragon is about to wake up, and he also knows the biggest weakness of the dragon race. As a new generation of guardian, he must destroy this black dragon. The other party is full of the strong smell of shadow dragon, which is undoubtedly the work of a goddess.
It’s a pity that if we just talk about hard power, Gerald is far from being the opponent of the black dragon.
When Xu Yue's Sun Chaser finally crossed the mountain range, he saw a picture of a golden dragon being beaten by a black dragon.
Compared to a real dragon, Gerald, who only inherited part of the power of the ancient dragon, is more like a golden lion with wings. For humans and elves, a body of more than ten meters is undoubtedly a behemoth, but compared with the black dragon of a hundred meters, it looks particularly petite.
At the top of the mountain, the battle at this time is like an eagle catching a chicken. The golden dragon relies on its agile speed and relatively small size to turn and move in the air. The black dragon is chasing closely behind, and the dark purple dragon breath is sprayed from time to time, but they are all nimbly dodged by the golden dragon.
"Gerald!"
Barna's shout came from below, and the golden dragon in the air understood, and rolled to the ground, and the black dragon behind it also dived down.
When the two dragons were chasing each other close to the ground, the dragon slayers also seized the opportunity. Barna held a broad and heavy sword and stabbed it into the black dragon's leg, but it was kicked away in an instant. Compared with the size of the black dragon, the heavy sword was like a toothpick. The damage caused was not negligible, but comparable to a pedicure.
On the other side, Bescode jumped down from the rock, and the black long sword stabbed straight into the gap between the black dragon's scales. Then he and the sword flew up with the black dragon.
In the air, he held the black sword inserted in the dragon scales with one hand, and with the other hand, he pulled out a dagger from his back and pried hard at the position of the gem on the black dragon's chest. Unfortunately, after more than ten seconds of hard work, nothing was found.
Even if it was an exposed weakness, it was not so easy to be stripped off.
The black dragon's gem failed to be dug out successfully, and Bescode eventually fell from the air because the black sword slipped. If the golden dragon had not flown back in time to catch it, he would probably have fallen to death on the spot.
Seeing that the two had failed one after another, the rest of the Dragon Slayers also attacked the Black Dragon with long-range attacks. Arrows from Nelven and Leah, spells from Tramai and Karaqiu came one after another, but after the bombardment, apart from making the Black Dragon roar in pain, it did not cause much impact.
"Hmm? Leah is not dead."
On the Sun Chaser in the clouds, Xu Yue, who was watching the battle, murmured softly, and then he squinted his eyes and carefully patrolled the battlefield below, and sure enough, he saw Lambert running anxiously towards Barna.
In the case that Leah was not dead, the protagonist who jumped angrily on the back of the Black Dragon and fought with it in the original plot would probably find it difficult to have such courage again.
"It's true that relying on the plot to kill is unreliable."
Although it is unknown why Leah did not sacrifice herself to save Lambert, Xu Yue did not feel much surprise.
After the contractor entered this world, it was destined that the plot could not develop as before, and Xu Yue would not be surprised no matter how it collapsed.
But after losing Lambert's key arrow that cut through the dragon's wings, the possibility of the dragon slayers below defeating the black dragon became even more slim.
"Heh, it turns out that everything depends on yourself."
"Barron, notify the magic main gun to prepare and adjust the inscription power to the maximum."
"Yes."
The front end of the Sun Chaser was slowly unfolding, and at this time the golden dragon below was also in a desperate situation. In order to divert the attention of the black dragon that was spitting dragon breath at the dragon slayers, the golden dragon launched frequent harassment on it. Although it successfully led the black dragon away from the ground, it was also caught by a black dragon claw when it was not careful.
"Captain Xinhuo, the main gun has been calibrated, aiming at the black dragon."
"No, aim at the golden dragon."
