The Final Battle (10)

"Buzz!"

A tremor ran through the space, followed by the release of aquamarine light from the blue Crystal ball. This light then intertwined above the Crystal ball, forming a cyan-blue light screen. Just as Yelibell and the others were feeling confused, images began to appear on the screen.

The first thing that catches the eye is a deep, dark blue expanse with constantly rising bubbles, seemingly indicating that the story takes place in some sea area. Suddenly, the seawater violently shakes, generating Shockwave. Soon after, a sphere, almost the same color as the seawater, appears on the screen. As time passes, the sphere grows larger and larger, eventually filling the entire frame.

"Pop!"

The sphere suddenly shattered, and then about twenty giant dragons and about ten humans appeared on the screen.

Just then, a human in the scene asked a white dragon, "Sacred Dragon, we have successfully broken through. What should we do now?"

Hearing the question from his human subordinate, the white dragon smiled and said, "Of course, we'll return to the outer perimeter of the encirclement and search for prey!"

Upon learning that the white dragon intended to lead them back into the encirclement, the human from before exclaimed in panic, "Sacred Dragon Lord, we've only just broken through! Going back now would be like walking into a trap!"

Seeing the panicked expressions on his subordinates' faces, the white dragon laughed loudly.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

"I only said to return to the outer perimeter of the encirclement to look for prey, I never said I was going to walk into a trap!"

After the white dragon finished speaking, the human subordinate said worriedly, "But..."

Before he could finish speaking, the white dragon waved its hand to interrupt him, saying, "Before, the enemy was in the dark while we were in the light, so we were the prey. But now, the enemy thinks we've broken through and left, so they certainly won't expect us to dare go back to find them. Therefore, it's now the enemy in the light while we're in the dark. Moreover, now that the enemy is trying to find us, they've broken up their forces into smaller units, which gives us an opportunity to strike. Besides, once we ambush the enemy, they will definitely concentrate their forces on us, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the others."

After the white dragon explained, the dragons and humans beside him nodded in agreement. Then the human spoke up, "Oh! I see! In that case, let's get going!"

Seeing that everyone understood his intentions, the white dragon shouted triumphantly, "Good! I order you to immediately sneak back to the outer perimeter of the encirclement and ambush the Western Continent members!"

After the white dragon gave the order, the more than twenty dragons following him and the dozen or so Dragon Slayer Magic roared in unison, "Yes!"

But just as everyone turned around and prepared to act, an unexpected turn of events occurred. A dozen or so Dragon Slayer Magic suddenly mobilized all their magic power and launched a fatal attack on the white dragon and other dragons.

"Boom!"

"Roar!"

Clusters of brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sea, followed by roars that echoed through the air. However, the scene did not show the dragon losing its balance and sinking into the sea, suggesting that no one had died.

A moment later, the explosion subsided, and the white dragon and its companions, previously submerged in smoke, reappeared in the scene. Although their bodies were partially destroyed, they were all in good spirits and showed no signs of imminent death. Clearly, the dimensional difference between humans and dragons cannot be bridged by a single Dragon Slayer Magic. Of course, it's also possible that these individuals were simply unskilled and unable to fully utilize the essence of Dragon Slayer Magic.

However, no matter what, these dozen or so humans are doomed! Because the moment they attacked the white dragon, the other ten dragons who had survived immediately surrounded them, depriving them of the chance to travel thousands of miles.

After temporarily suppressing its injuries, the white dragon, with only half its head remaining, roared in agony, "Why? Why did you do this?"

Faced with the white dragon's questioning, the group of Dragon Slayer Magic exchanged glances, then revealed cold smiles. Immediately afterward, the human who had spoken first stepped forward slowly and said coldly, "Sacred Dragon, although you are currently willing to coexist with humans, you are still dragons, and could become allies of the Western Continent at any time. To ensure the absolute safety of humanity, we have no choice but to ask you to embark on this journey with all the dragons!"

Upon hearing the reply, the white dragon stared at the human with its remaining eye and roared incredulously, "Muir Haven, you are a human who grew up in Montes Sakureta. Others may not know our feelings towards humans, but don't you know them too?"

Faced with the white dragon's questioning, the human named Muir Haven said, "Sacred Dragon, I am aware of your feelings for humans, but the same cannot be said for the other dragons. Once all the other dragons join the Western Continent's camp, will you still be able to remain steadfast in your feelings?"

Muir Haven's words seemed to touch a soft spot in the white dragon's heart. He burst into tears and laughed loudly for a long time before roaring hoarsely, "Muir Haven, have you forgotten why we fought against the dragons of the Western Continent?"

Upon hearing the white dragon mention the cause of the war, Muir Haven's facial muscles twitched. After a moment, he solemnly said, "Sacred Dragon, I have not forgotten the cause of this war, but I have also not forgotten the dragons of the Seventh Squadron, nor have I forgotten the Battle of Kiginst."

After the other party finished speaking, the white dragon laughed as if it had heard a lame joke, its face full of confusion. "Haha! Just for those ten or so scoundrels, you actually gave up peaceful coexistence with us and chose to declare war on us?"

Muir Haven remained silent for a long time before saying, "Sacred Dragon, humans are not as great as your dragon race. Humans are selfish, have inherent flaws, and will not allow other creatures to control their own destiny. Therefore, this is the only way we can do it!"

Upon hearing Muir Haven's explanation, the white dragon on the screen and the dragons watching, including Yelibell, turned deathly pale. The Dragon Slayer Magic stationed in the mountains felt either anger or shame, but the vast majority nodded silently, indicating their agreement with Muir Haven's point of view.

However, the actions of the group did not affect the progress of the scene. Then, they saw the white dragon coldly say, "Good! Good! Well said! Acnologia has learned his lesson! Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

After receiving orders from the white dragon, about twenty dragons began to massacre about ten humans.

Moments later, the sea became completely empty, with no trace of humans in sight, not even a fragment of a body. Only large amounts of scarlet seawater continued to flow.

After clearing out the traitors, the white dragon and the others roared and flew towards the surface of the sea.

The image disappeared there, and the blue-green screen transformed into a beam of light and shrank back into the Crystal ball. At this moment, Xizhalansa shouted to Yelibell and the others, "Everyone, you've all seen this, haven't you? This is the humanity we are meant to protect. Now, do you still want to fight to the death with your fellow countrymen of the Western Continent for them?"

After Xizhalansa's roar subsided, the dragons guarding the mountain range all showed a hint of hesitation.

"Everyone, don't believe his one-sided story. Only a very small number of restless humans are attacking the dragons. The vast majority of humans would not..." (Yelibell)

"Boom!"

Before Yelibell could finish her comforting words, a series of explosions and the painful roar of a dragon suddenly echoed through the mountains.

"Roar! Damn humans, you dared to ambush me! Die!"

This voice was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely shattering the already precarious trust between humans and dragons, plunging the dragons and humans into a chaotic battle.

"Whoosh!"

Yelibell and the others tried to control the situation, but several Dragon Slayer Magic, their eyes bloodshot, charged up and attacked them. Just then, two formations below the mountain also began their assault, making the already chaotic mountain range even more chaotic and beyond saving.

After repelling the attacking Dragon Slayer Magic, Yelibell and the other members of the special forces team, along with Sordil's five elderly parents, reunited.

"Yelibell, what should we do now? (Kaldiz)"

Yelibell glanced at the chaotic mountain range, then shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Uncle Kaldiz, the situation is completely out of control now, and I don't know what to do!"

"The situation has become so dire that it's beyond our control. Let's regroup with that brat and figure out a strategy once we're in a safe area!" (Hadessta)

"At this point, there's no other way!" (Yesveta)

"Girl, you should be able to find that brat, right? (Wattster)"

Yelibell nodded, then closed her eyes to listen to the sounds around her. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said to everyone, "Everyone, I've found Sordil's brother's location. Please follow me!"

After speaking, Yelibell took the lead and flew out of the mountains. To avoid falling behind and losing their way, Kaldiz and the others hurriedly followed. During the retreat, Dragon Slayer Magic and Evil Dragon from the Western Continent tried to stop them, but they were all repelled by the terrifyingly powerful evacuation team. Thus, the humans and dragons, caught in the midst of the battle, could only watch helplessly as the group departed.
