Fierce Battle with the Black Dragon

The following day, in a canyon on the western side of the Karatva Basin.

Rein and her group were hiding in a stone pit in the canyon, surrounded by magical barriers.

This place is only a dozen kilometers away from the Black Dragon's lair, and the Magic Array concealed the group's presence.

No one spoke; everyone stared intently at the western direction.

And then, suddenly!

"Hoo~"

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded from afar.

"They're here! Everyone get ready!"

Rein gave a soft shout.

At the same time, everyone around them also tensed up.

Even from several miles away, everyone who heard the dragon's roar felt a strong pressure.

Not far away, the few Fifth-tier Magical Beast that the Kolman Warrior had carefully selected to fight alongside him were emitting low whimpers, as if they were experiencing a kind of fear originating from their very souls, making them appear restless and uneasy.

"Such a powerful aura! This dragon's bloodline is probably very pure. Its aura alone is comparable to the will of that Three-Eyed Evil God in City of Radiance."

The Great Shaman Mafat was taken aback, a sharp glint flashing in his turbid eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black dot suddenly appeared at the edge of his field of vision.

The sound was several miles away just now, but in an instant, it appeared right in front of me.

Seeing this, Bazel, who had already transformed into werewolf form not far away, exclaimed softly, "You're here so fast!"

Rein stared intently and was astonished to see a ferocious black dragon soaring in the sky!

This was the first time everyone had ever seen the dragon race from mythology.

This dragon had a wingspan of at least a hundred meters, and its scales reflected a dark, jade-like luster under the sunlight. Its claws, as if cast from steel, gleamed with a cold light.

This evil dragon's aura was completely different from the flying dragons tamed in Black Dragon City. It was domineering and incomparable, and its ferocious dragon face revealed its savagery and arrogant contempt for everything.

Legendary dragons are arrogant, conceited, and brutal. As a mythical race at the top of the food chain, they also have the right to look down on all other living beings.

Upon closer inspection, the black dragon appeared to be somewhat "irritable".

Because it was chasing a Gray Robe Mage.

It was none other than the Master Cavo!

The man and the dragon were only a few hundred meters apart, seemingly able to catch up in the blink of an eye. This made Rein, who was observing from a distance, hold his breath in suspense.

Master Cavo is skilled in advanced "Wind Control Techniques," granting him extremely high movement speed.

However, it was clear that he was slower than the black dragon.

At this moment, the man and the dragon were still some distance from the canyon where the traps were set, but the black dragon had already spewed out its Dragon Breath.

With a slight lift of its head, the dragon's mouth transformed into a high-pressure spray gun, spewing out a burst of raging Black Flame.

The black fire looked extremely strange, and its outburst caused the surrounding space to distort.

The black flames shot hundreds of meters away, and in an instant, they covered Master Cavo, who was riding the wind, completely engulfed in the flames!

"Hiss~"

Just as everyone gasped in shock, they suddenly saw Master Cavo's body, which had been engulfed in black fire, shatter like a broken glass mirror, turning into pieces.

The next instant, a flash of light appeared, and hundreds of meters away, the figure of a slightly disheveled Gray Robe Mage reappeared.

"Mirror Clone! Spatial Teleportation!"

Rein's pupils contracted slightly.

This is Master Cavo's signature survival skill.

If it were an ordinary, low-intelligence monster, it might have already been deceived by Master Cavo's "Visual Clone," thinking that it had killed its target and stopped its attack.

But the black dragon was completely unmoved.

Seeing that the Dragon Breath had hit a clone, it instantly located Master Cavo's true form and then unleashed another pressurized Dragon Breath.

This is the real, deadly crisis!

The higher the level of the magic, the longer the interval between casting.

The spells "Mirror Clone" and "Spatial Teleportation" are at the fifth and fourth ring levels, respectively. Even if Master Cavo is a legend, he could not cast them without any gaps.

At that moment, the Dragon Breath came crashing down on them, making it impossible to repeat the same trick.

The group lying in ambush in the distant valley felt a chill run down their spines, realizing something was wrong.

If it were them, none of them would be confident of avoiding the dragon's series of attacks; they would have no choice but to confront it head-on.

At that moment, a bizarre scene unfolded!

Master Cavo was only a few hundred meters away from that evil dragon, and there was no way to avoid its Dragon Breath.

But he remained calm and composed, making a hand seal with both hands.

In that instant, a miracle occurred.

When the black dragon's breath, capable of instantly melting steel, struck Master Cavo's magic shield, it didn't harm him in the slightest.

"Huh?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

It was as if my vision had been deceived. What appeared to be only a few hundred meters apart actually stretched for thousands of meters.

At that moment, Bazel seemed to recognize the amazing spell and exclaimed, "That's... [Spatial Folding]! It's incredible! Master Cavo's mastery of spatial magic has reached such a level!"

Rein found the term "spatial folding" novel, but seeing the effect, he immediately understood the essence of the spell.

No wonder Master Cavo is hailed as the "top of the Ten Great Legends".

With this secret technique, one can at least survive against any enemy.

However, it was clear that this spell consumed a lot of energy, and after casting it, Master Cavo's aura visibly weakened considerably.

In the brief moment of the chase, the black dragon had already flown to the top of the valley and entered the trap!

The time had come. The Great Shaman Mafat roared, "Attack!"

Instantly, magical patterns lit up the entire valley.

This is clearly a large-scale "spatial barrier".

The space above the valley suddenly lit up, and this spatial barrier, which had been set up using thousands of high-level magic cores, isolated this area.

The dragon is troublesome not only for its defense and attack power, but also for its unparalleled flight speed.

Now that the barrier has appeared, it's as if the flying dragon has been confined to a space of several miles in radius.

Of course, the barrier of the fifth-circle arcane magic alone could not possibly trap the evil dragon for long; the important part is yet to come!

At the same time as the space was sealed off, as planned, the ten legendary mechs instantly launched the "Dragon Hunter Dragon Spear" from their arms, and the spears with steel cables tied to their tails shot towards the flying dragons in the sky.

The sound of whooshing through the air was incessant.

The black dragon is immune to almost all magic below the sixth rank, including spells like "Slow Ray," "Mage Hand," and "Sensory Deprivation." All forms of magical control are completely ineffective against it.

Therefore, the best method of control is "physical control".

The "Arc Vibration Black Blade" invented by Tuster Laozi is very powerful, easily cutting through the defenses of Fifth-tier Magical Beast. However, there is a prerequisite: it must be a non-moving object.

This giant dragon flying in the sky was clearly not foolish enough to be slaughtered.

These ten legendary mechs, each over twenty meters tall, launched dozens of "Dragon Spear".

This sharp spear, capable of easily piercing Steel City Walls, struck the dragon's scales but made no progress, instead sending sparks flying.

However, Rein and his companions hadn't expected such an attack to harm the dragon.

Behind each of the dozens of "dragon-hunting Dragon Spear" were steel cables. With this volley of fire, the steel cables wrapped around the giant dragon in the air.

The cunning dragon realized it had been ambushed, but it scoffed at the little trick.

With a flap of its wings, it tried to break the steel cables wrapped around it.

On the ground, those heavily armored mechs, some over twenty meters tall, were nearly lifted into the air by the sheer force of the evil dragon.

However, since they already knew that this evil dragon was incredibly powerful, how could they not have taken precautions?

The dragon tried to break the steel cable, but found that it only grew longer and longer.

As soon as it loosens its grip, the steel cable instantly retracts, keeping it within a certain range.

It's like catching a big fish; instead of pulling the prey out of the water all at once, the angler wants to pull it for a while to exhaust the fish's strength.

Each of the ten legendary mechs stood in one direction, ensuring that no matter which direction the evil dragon attacked from, there would be two or three mechs to contend with it.

Despite being well-prepared, the dragon's power was still far too astonishing.

In that instant of capture, a series of "bang" sounds rang in my ears.

It was the sound of a steel cable snapping.

However, as some steel cables broke, new ones shot out.

Moreover, the dragon's crisis is not limited to mechs.

At the same time, the experts from Black Dragon City also made their move!

"Radiant Light!"

Suddenly, it was as if countless flashbangs had been thrown into the space, and a blinding white light enveloped the earth.

The black dragon also felt a stinging pain in its eyes and couldn't open them.

Since magical visual deprivation is useless, let's use physical force—intense light!

At that moment, the group of experts from Black Dragon City, wearing "protective sunglasses," made their move.

The high priest of Marfa, wielding a long spear, leaped into the air, followed closely by Kalman's first warrior, Habu, Bazel, and Guycanosa.

The Great Shaman Mafat instantly transformed into Bronze Golden Body, and thrust his spear straight at the black dragon's neck.

Habu brandished his enormous spiked club, aiming it at the dragon's head.

Bazel showed no mercy, lashing out with his claws towards the dragon's several-meter-long whip between its legs.

Guy drew his black blade, a crimson sword aura, dozens of meters long, slashed towards his neck.

Canossa also found a piece of the dragon's fleshy wing and slammed down with a powerful punch.

These legendary masters, considered the strongest fighters on the Ice Ridge Wasteland, unleashed a barrage of attacks, each with a unique power that distorted space, striking the giant dragon.

Boom, Boom, Bang!

A deafening roar, like a landslide, resounded throughout the sealed space. The violent shockwaves caused the objects to collide, making the air in this space seem to boil. Hurricanes flew, sand and stones flew, and trees were uprooted.

The dragon, stung by the pain, roared angrily to the sky, "Roar~"

Although the bright light blinded the dragon and it could not see its enemy for the time being, it still chose to attack indiscriminately!

The black dragon's neck arched back and bulged, and after gathering its strength, its head spewed out jet-black dragon flames in all directions.

Like a breached dam, a tidal wave of dragon Dragon Breath covered an area within a kilometer radius.

Mafat and his companions were caught off guard and instantly engulfed by the Dragon Breath.

Not far below, on the ground, Rein, who was acting as a "logistics doctor," felt a tightness in his chest.

Now is the most crucial moment.

If this sneak attack fails to harm the evil dragon, or if everyone cannot withstand the damage from the Dragon Breath, then they will immediately choose to retreat.

The sky suddenly turned pitch black, Rein could not see anything in it.

But hearing the dragon's mournful roar, he knew that the dragon must have been injured in the surprise attack just now!

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud bang rang out.

It was like a shooting star falling from the sky, crashing to the ground and creating a huge crater.

In a single exchange, a master was knocked down.

"Elder Habu!"

Upon closer inspection, Rein realized that the giant, over five meters tall, in the deep pit was none other than Habu.

At this moment, his whole body was covered in red burns, making him look like a boiled shrimp.

Without any hesitation, Rein ran over quickly, and then the healing energy of [Divine Healing Technique] washed over his body like a tidal wave.

As a "meat shield" to attract the dragon, Habu's target was the dragon's head, so he naturally got the worst attack.

Fortunately, Rein's healing power was astonishing; with a touch of light from his palm, Habu's burned skin visibly healed.

Just then, before the treatment was even finished, another meteor suddenly fell from the sky.

With another muffled "boom," a tall White Wolf crashed to the ground.

At this moment, much of Bazel's silver fur was singed, and in some places, it was even visibly slashed by a sharp weapon, revealing wounds to his flesh.

The wound was clearly inflicted by a dragon's claw.

However, the werewolf's healing ability meant that Bazel was not seriously injured, and his wounds were healing rapidly.

The guy seemed a little dizzy from being hit. He stood up, shook his head, spit out a mouthful of dirt, looked at the sky, and grinned maliciously. "Hehe, this black dragon's scales aren't without weaknesses. Eggy's taken a hit by me, it's probably not going to be good either."

"."

Rein could tell from the guy's strong voice that his injuries were probably not serious.

Looking again at the sky, one can still hear the intense sounds of battle.

Within that dark Dragon Breath, Mafat, Guy, and Canossa were still locked in fierce combat!

At that moment, before his injuries had fully healed, Bazel pushed off the ground again and charged forward once more.

Habu, standing beside him, once again condensed his Law Armor and brandished his Spiritual Weapon, the spiked club. "Doctor Rein, this is enough!"

Before he finished speaking, he leaped forward and plunged headfirst into the dark Dragon Breath that was as strong as sulfuric acid.

Thump, thump, thump

Another series of striking sounds echoed in the sky.

Rein quickly dodged to the side, gazing at the sky with a hint of joy in his eyes.

The fact that the Great Shaman Mafat and his forces have not retreated means that this battle is achievable!

While Dragon Breath is powerful, its nature, like spellcasting, is not without limitations.

The evil dragon was ambushed by a group of experts from Black Dragon City. In an attempt to break the stalemate, it unleashed Dragon Breath that lasted for nearly a minute.

However, the Great Shaman Mafat and the others persevered amidst the highly corrosive Dragon Breath.

Before long, the darkness dissipated, and the vision became clear.

Rein looked closely and the fierce battle in the sky became clear at a glance.

At this moment, the gaunt body of the Great Shaman Mafat gleamed with a bronze luster, and the divine spear in his hand resembled a spear of light, piercing the dragon's body and creating fist-sized holes. Although such injuries were insignificant to that massive body hundreds of meters long, the relentless attacks left the dragon riddled with honeycomb-like holes.

On the other hand, Guy, wielding a large black knife, was like a god of death.

The Sword Qi Waterfall behind him resembled a river flowing with blood, exuding an eerie aura. Even from a great distance, one could sense the incomparably sharp sword intent emanating from him.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that with each strike of his black blade, he could carve wounds on the black dragon, revealing visible scarlet flesh.

What surprised people the most was Canossa, who also Bronze Golden Body!

At this moment, Canossa's fist was covered with a layer of condensed fighting spirit, like a golden gauntlet. She punched the dragon repeatedly. Although there was no blood, her fists broke through the protective aura on the black dragon's body and hit its scales directly.

The secret technique of "Condense Qi into Gang" is equally effective against the dragon, allowing her to deliver devastating blows.

With each punch, the black dragon's body trembled.

The feeling of that Monstrous Strength, is definitely not pleasant!

"So strong."

Rein watched Canossa in the heat of battle, his eyes shining brightly.

After all, the two were advancing along the same Transcendent path, and only he could fully see just how powerful Abi's Canossa was at this moment.

If it weren't for encountering this thick-skinned, vicious dragon, Canossa probably wouldn't be able to find a target that would make her unleash her full power.

Of course, Rein felt that what caused the dragon the most pain was not Mafat's spear, not Guy's sword, and not Canossa's fist.

It was Bazel's sleazy "backhand stab"!

Although this was a tactic that had been planned in advance, when Rein saw that guy Bazel hiding in the lower abdomen of the dragon and digging wildly, he couldn't help but feel his face twitching.

He clearly saw that every time Bazel reached out, the dragon's body seemed to tremble.

The power of a legendary expert's grab is unimaginable.

Even as an observer, Rein felt a chill run down his spine.

However, seeing this, Rein breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "There's hope of taking this guy down today."

Now that the experts of Black Dragon City have survived the first wave of attacks, the situation will only get better for them.
