Chapter 588: Dragon vs. the Holy See
Chapter 588: Dragon vs. the Holy See
The fall of Starfall meant that the Church of Light had already crippled it. Now that the Sky City Mercenary Group has been destroyed, the remaining Imperial coalition forces are no longer a threat. The Church of Light had already made a plan, but it was disrupted by the sudden return of Starfall. Moreover, with the return of Starfall, many forces seemed to have found a backbone and came to support.
Xingluo didn't expect that after he came back, these forces that he hadn't seen for a long time would actually come to help him. He still feels it's a little unreal. The moment he returned, he felt that the speed of time here was different from that in the abyss, so he would have to measure how much time had passed here, so that he could grasp the speed of time in the main material plane and the abyss.
Now the four airships were watching eagerly. Xingluo was suspended in the air, watching all this, but he did not act rashly. He was trying to find a way to break the impasse. With his remaining magic power, he could still destroy one airship, but what about the rest? He glanced at the giant dragons around him that were eager to try, and fell into deep thought.
He didn't know how much damage these dragons could do to the airships, but there was no other way at the moment. He didn't have to worry too much about the ground troops. With the Allied forces, they had the advantage in numbers, and the Sky City Mercenaries were all elite. Even if they were injured, they could retreat to the fog as soon as possible. They could attack or defend, and they also cut off the supply of the Knights of Light.
There are now four floating fortresses left: "Holy Dawn, Tower of Faith, Voice of Law, and Mirror of Light"
Xingluo rushed towards the Holy Dawn first, and the dragon also rushed towards the other three floating fortresses.
The sky was still dark, and the thick clouds were churning like the belly of a giant beast cut open by a sharp blade. A faint light flickered in the distant east, and four floating fortresses were quietly suspended, casting huge shadows on the plains below.
Suddenly, a hot breath swept across the battlefield.
boom--! !
Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, a huge red figure broke through the sea of clouds, and the dragon's breath boiled in the sky like a volcanic eruption of hot molten lava.
The Red Flame Dragon, his body covered with magma-like scales, spread his wings, stirring up rolling heat waves. Every time he flapped his wings, he ignited the ten-mile cloud layer, and the air was distorted by the high temperature. The Red Flame Dragon looked down from above, and his flaming eyes stared coldly at the three floating fortresses below.
"Floating above the dragon's airspace, do you want to destroy them?" The Red Flame Dragon did not take these floating fortresses seriously. How could the overlord of the sky take these man-made creations seriously?
He did not attack immediately, but hovered in the sky, casting a huge shadow on the deck of the Tower of Faith. The high-ranking knights there held their shields tightly, staring at this calamity-like existence that had existed since ancient times. Even though these dragons were young, it was only relative to themselves. They were all dragons who survived the Great Magic Age.
The Frost Crystal Dragon Appears
Immediately afterwards, a cold dragon roar sounded from the other side.
The giant frost crystal dragon slowly rose into the air. It seemed as if it had broken through the ice of the icy sea, covered in ten-thousand-year-old frost crystals. Every time the dragon's wings flapped, a large amount of snow and fog was brought up. With her appearance, the originally boiling clouds suddenly froze, and the sky seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.
"Since you intend to bring the war to the Dragon Clan... I don't mind helping you cool it down."
The Frost Crystal Dragon's gaze fell on the Law of Ten Thousand Voices, and a hint of disgust emerged in the depths of her eyes. The high-level priests immediately began to chant the Holy Dispel spell to drive away the cold air around them, trying to stabilize the "magic-forbidden" barrier.
A burst of thunder exploded in the sky.
The Lightning Soul Dragon flew through the clouds like lightning, with lightning flashing all over its body, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. When it flapped its wings, the surrounding space froze instantly - this was a temporary freezing phenomenon caused by the speed being too fast and surpassing time, causing the concealment barrier of the Light Wheel Mirror to be slightly disordered, revealing a flaw.
In contrast, a blurry black shadow was slowly moving in the void.
Shadow Dragon.
He came from the Abyss Plane, his body twisted like smoke, his eyes emitting a soul-penetrating purple light. He opened his mouth and growled, and the strange dragon roar shook the air, invading the minds of the Vatican soldiers in the floating fortress like a nightmare. Many low-level soldiers had blurred eyes, and the weapons in their hands slowly slipped, falling into hallucinations and unable to extricate themselves.
Bronze Armored Dragon Appears
There was a loud thud like thunder from the ground.
The bronze-armored dragon rose from the depths of the earth, its body covered with armor made of ancient runes, and its thick dragon scales seemed unable to be shaken even by the falling of stars. He was a land fortress, an ancient ally of the dwarves, and his body was so huge that it was almost as tall as the floating fortress.
"Come on... let me see if these 'fortresses' in the sky can withstand my attack!"
The bronze-armored war dragon opened its mouth and roared, and the huge sonic shock wave directly hit the outer shield of the Tower of Faith.
The Scarlet Flame Dragon flapped its wings violently, and swooped down with its huge body, pouring out a torrent of blazing flames from its mouth.
boom--! !
A blazing pillar of fire fell from the sky and hit the Holy Light Shield of the Tower of Faith. The shield was burned with a teeth-grinding hissing sound, and was peeled off layer by layer.
Thousands of shield-bearing knights raised their shields and formed a formation, with holy light interweaving between them into an airtight defensive net. A hint of coldness flashed in the Red Flame Dragon's eyes, and the dragon claws slapped down fiercely, and the blazing shock wave directly overturned the hundreds of knights who were trying to defend in front.
The giant frost crystal dragon flapped its wings, and countless ice crystal arrows shot out from the clouds, falling all over the sky and on the "magic-forbidden" magic circle of the Law of Ten Thousand Voices.
The ice crystals spread rapidly, freezing some of the runes in the magic circle, causing them to flicker unsteadily. The high-level priests desperately chanted the "Holy Purification Spell", but the coldness of the ice crystals seemed to freeze the source of divine power, causing their voices to gradually tremble. The magic ban only made it impossible to mobilize the magic elements in the surrounding space, while the dragon's magic came from its own dragon crystal.
The Lightning Soul Dragon transformed into a bolt of lightning and broke into the hidden area of the Light Wheel Mirror Glory like lightning, breaking through the clouds directly. At the same time, the roar of the Shadow Dragon enveloped the entire fortress.
The members of the Inquisition raised their holy emblems one after another, trying to suppress the hallucinations, but the images in their minds became clearer and clearer—behemoths of the abyss slowly crawled out of the abyss, as if mocking their beliefs.
The Lightning Soul Dragon took advantage of their momentary distraction and flapped its wings slightly, creating a thunderstorm in the center of the floating fortress. In an instant, the entire concealment barrier collapsed, and the Light Wheel Mirror was exposed above the clouds.
The bronze-armored war dragon swooped down and crashed into the bottom of the Tower of Faith with destructive force. He himself was the best weapon.
Boom——! !
The core of the floating fortress shook violently, and the entire fortress sank a long way. Countless knights and giant shields were thrown directly into the air and smashed into the guardrails in the air.
At this moment, five giant dragons gathered in the sky, with their wings spread out, covering the entire sky. In addition, other giant dragons were also carrying out coordinated attacks, and for a moment they actually resisted the offensive of the Holy See of Light.
The shield of the Tower of Faith was completely shattered, and its body tilted; the "magic-forbidden" array of the Law of Ten Thousand Voices was extinguished, and its magic power began to run wild; the Light Wheel Mirror had been torn apart by lightning and illusions, and flames shot up into the sky.
The Red Flame Dragon's eyes were burning, the Frost Crystal Dragon's breath froze the remains of the fortress, the Electric Soul Dragon released a devastating thunderstorm, the Shadow Dragon's roar turned into a tangible mental shock wave, and the Bronze Armored War Dragon waved its tail, smashing the Faith·Tower into pieces, turning it into flames and metal fragments all over the sky.
The battle in the sky lasted for three days and three nights. The gray sea of clouds had already been dyed scarlet. When the three floating fortresses crashed, the roar of thirty giant dragons shook the world, and blood fell from the sky like rain. The dragon flames burned the void, tearing the sky defense matrix of the Church of Light, and the huge floating fortress turned into fragments in the roar. However, only the "Holy Dawn", the oldest and largest floating fortress, still stood on the top of the sea of clouds, like a floating continent, carrying a sacred and deadly breath.
The leader of the five dragons, the Scarlet Flame Tyrant, looked into the distance, his scales trembling in the high-altitude storm: "We can't do it... The Holy Light Divine Array of the Holy See is sealed on the Holy Glory Dawn. Even if thirty dragons breathe at the same time, they can't tear open that barrier."
At this moment, a silver-white figure slowly walked out of the cracked air and strolled in the core of the storm. With his arrival, the air around him instantly stagnated, as if frozen in time.
"Starfall..."
Wu Long lowered his head subconsciously, and for some reason a tremor from the depths of his soul emerged in his eyes.
On the top of the fortress stood a white-haired old man, wearing the robe of the Seven Saints of the Holy See of Light, with flowing holy feathers on his shoulders, and the silver-white figure was reflected in his pupils.
"High Priest Orpheus! That man...he is here!" the adjutant shouted in horror.
Orpheus' pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice was dry: "Xingluo... the sinner who fell into the abyss"
