Being mocked isn't a big deal; I was already used to it Dalaran.
Alturus, thick-skinned as ever, quickly went off happily to hunt the baby dragon again.
He made his decision:
Today, we'll fight that Nightmare dragon to the death! We must take it down and accomplish the feat of slaying a dragon!
He decided to prepare a powerful enough spell to take that guy down in one blow!
Powerful spells generally require a long preparation time, including constructing spell circuits and spell models.
While Alturus was still preparing, four uncorrupted emerald dragons suddenly flew in from the distant sky.
"Phew! They flew so fast, finally caught up, I'm exhausted! Wait, why are there so many Nightmare Green Dragons? Emeriss and Taerar are here too? And several adult ones? We can't handle this!" Dreamscythe hesitated, "Should we run away?"
"What's there to be afraid of! We may not be able to beat those large dragons, but surely we can beat Nightmare Hatchlings? We're the best of the hatchlings, and we're almost adults! Look, aren't there about ten Nightmare Hatchlings?" Weaver said.
"But Nightmare Hatchlings aren't easy to deal with either! They're amplified by Nightmare power! Even though we're the best among the hatchlings, we don't have a 100% chance of winning in a one-on-one fight!" Morphaz exclaimed.
"It's alright, isn't there an injured one over there? Let's take it down first to practice, then team up to fight the other Nightmare Whelps!" Hazzas said finally.
The four young dragons briefly discussed their options, then decisively entered the battlefield, killing the injured Nightmare Dragon that had just taken flight in less than a minute.
"As expected, Lord Eranikus was right to have the four of us team up! The four of us combined are no match for an ordinary adult green dragon!" Dreamscythe exclaimed excitedly, pointing a claw at another Nightmare whelp, "Brothers, let's go, let's kill him!"
"Kill him!" The other young dragons were also excited and rushed over aggressively.
Alturus had finally finished preparing his spell, but when he looked up, he saw that the Nightmare Dragon had been killed and was falling from the sky!
"What are we going to do? Do we have to start all over again and deal with another baby dragon?"
Alturus was conflicted when he suddenly saw Leryda shout out from not far away, and a Pyroblast blew the left wing of a Nightmare dragon. Her heroic figure made his heart flutter. Before he knew it, his spell lost its aim and he actually cast it!
The next moment, a barrage of Arcane Barrage struck Taerar, who was attacking the rainbow-colored shield!
Although only a few scales were blown off, Taerar was still enraged:
A human mage I've never even heard of dared to attack me? This is outrageous!
He flapped his wings and charged straight at Alturus!
Alturus turned pale and instinctively took several steps back. Suddenly, he wasn't paying attention and tripped over a stone, landing hard on his bottom. He turned around and saw that it wasn't a stone, but the foot of the Maiden of Virtue.
He quickly stood up to apologize, then went around to back away until Taerar rushed over, blocked by the seven-colored light barrier, unable to get in despite his ferocious attacks. Only then did he finally realize what was happening.
What's there to be afraid of! As long as the seven-colored light barrier remains intact, this mage is absolutely safe!
"Finally, I have a chance to stand still and unleash my damage!"
Alturus was overjoyed and unleashed a Arcane Missiles at Taerar. Although they didn't cause much damage, they still enraged Taerar, who ignored everyone else and relentlessly rammed into the rainbow-colored light barrier in front of Alturus.
Alturus was even happier; such an output environment was too rare, and he immediately increased his firepower.
"Whoosh!"
A figure darted out of the seven-colored light barrier, leaping thirty meters to land on Taerar's back. Holding the divine sword upside down with both hands, he forcefully pierced Taerar's neck!
It's Jiang Jie!
He had been gathering his strength, condensing the flames of the Shadow Phoenix into a flaming giant sword; however, the Nightmare Dragons, all of whom were adults or older, were attacking the Rainbow Barrier from above.
They were difficult to deal with, so I hadn't made a move until now. Finally, the perfect opportunity arrived, and so I launched my attack.
The scales on his neck weren't as hard as those on his back, and couldn't withstand the attack of the divine sword. Taerar was in pain and roared madly. Then, three illusory clones appeared and began to besiege Jiang Jie on his back.
Taerar's spellcasting abilities are quite good, with various hypnotic and fear-inducing spells, but they are ineffective against Jiang Jie.
However, the continuous acid breath and shadow orbs still caused Jiang Jie a great deal of trouble.
" Anveena, protect me!"
" Alturus, attack those demigods! At least hold one down, or you'll never come to Karazhan again! Don't think I didn't hear your conversation with Ansirem; you dare to steal my family's spellbook, you've got some nerve!"
Upon hearing this, Alturus turned pale!
"I haven't agreed to him yet! No, I firmly rejected that turtle egg, Alturus! I strongly condemn and protest his despicable behavior!"
Alturus immediately cried out in protest, then pleaded, "Grand Duke, please don't send me away! Can't I be the librarian in Karazhan? No, no, I'll do anything, even cleaning!"
Two gazes fell upon him, Ansirem almost lost control of his spell. A fireball grazed past Alturus, igniting a tuft of hair. He was filled with murderous intent.
How could he ever face Jiang Jie again? If word got out, how could he ever show his face in Dalaran?
Alturus is unleashing his power!
He was, after all, an Archmage. Although he was far from being comparable to top-tier Archmage like Ansirem, his ability to deal damage while stationary was still quite impressive.
He erupted, his face contorted with rage, striving to stay in Karazhan. He used both hands to cast spells, managing to single-handedly hold off two of Taerar's clones!
Seeing this, Jiang Jie's eyes lit up: Alturus's Archmage diploma seems to be quite valuable; it's just that he's not a combat mage, so he's not good at combat. Now that he's showing his power, he lives up to the title of Archmage.
Although another clone was attacking him, Jiang Jie seized the opportunity and did not retreat. He closed his golden-white wings to form an absolute defense, blocking any magical attacks. Then he attacked Taerar's neck relentlessly with sword strike after sword strike.
Dark green blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying onto Jiang Jie's body, as if he had undergone several dragon blood baths.
Jiang Jie withstood the attack of the third Taerar clone, desperately slashing and thrusting, and finally severed Taerar's neck!
"I really slayed a dragon? Ansirem! Modera! Leryda! And Rhonin! Look, I really slayed a dragon, and this time it was an ancient dragon, a level above even an adult dragon!" Alturus shouted, trying to prove himself.
The other Archmage remained silent, while the junior, Rhonin, nodded honestly, saying, "Yes, although it was mainly the Grand Duke's achievement, with Master Alturus only providing assistance, even just two clones are equivalent to an ordinary adult dragon. Master Alturus, you truly slew a dragon!"
Upon hearing this, Alturus's smile deepened. He glanced at Rhonin gratefully, thinking that the Kirin Tor Council was about to select two new members, and he would definitely vote for Rhonin.
