Chapter 741: The Fall of the King
What does the triple bonus to magic resistance and physical resistance in the "Marble King" state mean?
Lothar, whose defense is already extremely amazing and comparable to that of a heavily armored warrior among giant dragons like the Copper-Horned Red Dragon, can directly soar to an almost invincible level when he enters the state of Marble King.
Coupled with the restraining effect of dragon energy on spells, the "Magic Warrior" talent invested all his mental strength into physical endurance. He was able to withstand this extremely powerful forbidden spell that could destroy at least half of the city.
Moreover, he suffered almost no injuries.
Because even if he was injured, he would recover at five times the speed under his "Marble King" state.
Stone chips flew all over the sky. The demon dragon broke out of its stone body, opened its huge mouth full of sharp fangs, and scorching heat swept through. The blazing dragon flame spewed out and swept towards the spellcasters who had consumed most of their mental power.
"Get out of the way!"
"Hold up the shield!"
The spellcasters deployed their defenses in an orderly manner and cooperated very well. If it were the medieval world, Long Yan would have been able to kill at least a dozen spellcasters, but he returned empty-handed.
The Iron Duke, with steam puffing out of hiss, advanced instead towards the dragon flame. The two cannons on his shoulders fired continuously, and his chainsaw sword, with a violent buzzing sound, chopped down fiercely at the dragon.
But the cunning dragon obviously had no intention of getting entangled with them. It flapped its broad wings suddenly and nimbly hid on the side of a steam airship. Its spiked tail drew a series of sparks on the armored plate of the airship.
The Iron Duke followed closely behind, and his chainsaw sword left a bloody wound on the dragon, but soon after, he saw a cluster of slowly burning flames attached to the armor plate of the airship.
The magic dragon was flying at an extremely fast speed. Almost at the same time, the slowly burning flame spread across the prairie.
boom!
The steam airship exploded, completely enveloping the Iron Duke.
The Admiral who was watching the battle had a look of disbelief on his face: "This beast actually knew where the airship's ammunition depot was? And he even planned an ambush on the Iron Duke."
Dragons are an ancient and arrogant species, so their intelligence is naturally no less than that of humans, and sometimes they can even appear to be more cunning.
But human civilization does not lie in individual wisdom.
He couldn't understand how there could be a dragon in this world that knew so much about the weapons of the human world. He had thought it was a coincidence before, but now he was almost completely certain that the dragon was well aware of the weaknesses of the steam airship.
The Iron Duke rushed out from the smoke, his body covered with traces of burns, and deep cracks appeared in his indestructible shell.
But his "mecha" seemed to have life, and every wound was healing rapidly.
This guy is so tough!
Lothar felt sad in his heart that if he was not in the state of Marble King, he would have suffered serious injuries if he had to withstand this wave of explosion in the ammunition depot.
The "Demon Dragon" sighed in his heart. This wave of impact had caused considerable injuries to the Iron Duke. His speed was no longer as fast as before, and his flexibility during flight was also greatly affected.
Realizing this, Lothar became even more unscrupulous, and directly invested all his mental strength into agility. His speed increased again. With blade-like wings and sickle-like tail, under the powerful blessing brought by high-speed flight, he hit the fleeing steam airships in the sky again and again, cutting off pieces of solid armor plates and accurately throwing dragon flames into the ammunition depot of the airships.
The scene was like a vicious wolf driving a herd of cattle on the grassland. Compared with the cattle, the wolf was so small.
In the eyes of British officers and soldiers, this scene gave people a feeling of collapse of faith.
That was a war machine built with huge investments by the British Empire, which occupied almost one-third of the world's land, possessed the most vast territory in human history, and had unshakable maritime hegemony!
In front of this evil dragon, he was being played with like a toy.
The furious Iron Duke increased his speed again. Violent steam gushed out from the gaps in his armor. Even the chainsaw sword was extended by dozens of meters. He swung the sword again and again, trying to hit the dragon.
The royal wizards also began to cast spells, and colorful spells covered the entire sky.
Steam airships such as the "London" opened fire at full power, trying to block every escape route of the dragon with carpet bombing.
But when the spell's afterglow faded.
The arrogant dragon has disappeared.
"Did the beast escape?"
Some people gritted their teeth, while others breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the fight was quite brief, this cunning dragon still brought them tremendous oppression. This was not because of the dragon's hard power, but because it was too cunning, and every step it took stepped on their weak spots.
The leading royal wizard said angrily, "Damn it, that beast is so cunning that it doesn't even look like a dragon. It doesn't even have the dignity of a dragon!"
The Royal Mage Academy's textbooks have detailed introductions to the characteristics of dragons. These ancient dominant creatures often consider their dignity more important than their own lives, which is why dragon knights have been so rare throughout history.
但凡事总有那么几个例外。
"We suffered a huge loss this time. When we return, the dean will definitely demote us."
"No, look!"
Suddenly someone screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice distorted by fear: "It's not running away!"
Below the clouds, a dark shadow was seen swooping down rapidly, its target aimed directly at the flagship of the British Expeditionary Fleet - HMS Sovereign!
"It's courting its own death!"
The spellcasters were enraged and flew downwards one after another.
The captain of the Sea Sovereign reacted immediately and shouted orders: "Charge the main guns, everyone, take your positions, and let this beast die in the sea!"
The Sea Sovereign was equipped with many defensive arrays, and the armor plates were coated with special anti-magic coatings. The heavy artillery on it was powerful enough to flatten a human town. If special armor-piercing shells were used, even an ironclad ship of the same level would be sent into the sea with one shot.
He didn't believe that this magic dragon could do anything to his flagship. For a moment, he felt excited. If he could kill the magic dragon that embarrassed the Imperial Airship Force, not only would he not be blamed in this battle, but he would make a great contribution to the Imperial Navy!
However, as the main gun of the Sea Sovereign was charged, the officers and soldiers on the ship took up their weapons and prepared for battle.
The dragon seemed to be playing a joke and suddenly increased its flying altitude. When it flew over the ironclad ship, its tail flexibly cut through the mast of the Sea Sovereign.
Accompanied by people's exclamations, the "Union Flag" fluttering in the wind fell into the sea along with the mast.
Looking at the bare mast top and the flag falling into the sea, it was like a slap in the face of the captain. His face was flushed with anger and said, "Fire, fire!"
A deafening roar sounded behind the dragon.
Clusters of powerful artillery fire, like farewell fireworks, exploded behind the dragon.
Until the dragon's body became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from people's sight.
After the war, a naval soldier described the scene like this:
I saw the sky dyed red and the strong wind caused huge waves.
One after another, huge armored airships fled in all directions like docile sheep, exploded into fireworks in mid-air, or fell into the sea with black smoke. The pride of Britain, the invincible air fleet in the world, lost more than half of its fleet in just one battle.
Although the bigwigs of the fleet finally drove away the dragon, they claimed that it had suffered severe damage and would not live long.
But most of my colleagues, including me, did not believe that the nightmarish figure would disappear just like that.
