Chapter 248: Chapter 209: The Mighty Dragon Hero
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The feelings of flying underground and in the desert were two completely different experiences.
The underground was dark, and plants emitted all the light.
In some areas where plants were few, the light would suddenly dim, and one could explicitly see a G.o.ddess without clothes.
The appearance of the underground plants was also distinctly strange. It was indescribably twisted and ferocious. This appearance seemed could scare off the wild beasts that ate them.
Along the way, Richard also found many underground monsters.
These monsters had two extremes. Either they had a pair of enormous eyes, or their eyes had almost disappeared that acted entirely on perception.
Their appearances were also increasingly strange.
It made Richard feel that it was an eye-opener. The fantasy world was indeed colorful.
But when he looked at the scenery, this trip was not in vain.
After he flew 200 kilometers per hour for two and a half hours.
Richard blocked the city marked on the map.
Although it was a small underground city like Sel’s words, the 20-meter-high city wall and the dozens of one-meter-diameter alchemy cannons on the city wall showed the guardian was st.u.r.dy.
“Lord Richard, how should we move?”
Because Xina knew Richard’s target this time was an alchemist who knew about the gray-colored dwarf’s blood exchange technology, she had been quite excited.
This was the most promising time for her to break the seal on her body for a long time.
The seal in her body was an invisible chain that forever imprisoned her body’s freedom.
Outsiders could never experience the oppression from her bloodline’s depths.
Her greatest wish was to break the seal on herself and her clansmen.
For this, she would do anything.
Richard turned his head and glanced at the girl.
He knew she had high expectations this time, but the feasibility was still vague. He did not want her to be too disappointed when the time came.
He thought about it and said seriously.
“Xina, regardless of whether we can break your seal this time, don’t be disappointed. Believe me. We will eventually find a solution as long as we persevere.”
Xina looked into those deep eyes, and warmth rose in her heart.
She nodded firmly.
All the things that Richard had done for her had long won her trust and respect.
Otherwise, she would not have stood up and risked her life when the wyverns attacked Twilight City.
When Richard saw this, he did not say anything more.
He turned his attention to the Gray-Colored Dwarf City in front of him.
It was a pity Sel did not know what a gray-colored dwarf alchemist looked like. Otherwise, he could have just gone in and taken him.
Now, he had to destroy the enemy’s defense and then slowly search.
“Alves, lead the skeleton blood dragon troop to destroy the Gray-Colored Dwarf City defense.”
“Gray, Xina, you two work together to kill the gray-colored dwarf hero and chieftain.”
“Attack head-on!”
Richard gave the order.
The excited Alves immediately brought the skeleton demon and blood dragon troop down from the sky.
‘Roar!’
The roar instantly resounded throughout the entire Gray-Colored Dwarf City.
Endless draconic might spread out this moment, and the world seemed to dim because of it.
The guards on the city walls only felt an indescribable pressure that seeped into their souls, and their legs went weak.
They wanted to react, but their bodies did not listen to their commands. And they could not move at all.
Then, they could only watch as the murderous behemoth swooped down.
Thick blood-colored light suffused Alves’ throat when it reached the top of the city wall
‘Whoosh!’
The dragon’s breath shot out like a high-pressure water gun.
The blood-colored dragon’s breath enveloped the city wall.
The guards on the city wall were like burning candles.
They melted one by one.
Even the mechanical puppets on the city walls with high magic resistance could not resist the corrosion of the Beyond A-rank dragon breath.
With just a dive attack, the breath destroyed one-third of the city wall guards.
‘Woo! Woo!’
At this time, the scared silly gray-colored dwarves blew the warning horn.
But before the troop could react, dozens of skeletal blood dragons appeared in the sight of the gray-colored dwarves who blew the horn.
“G.o.d of the gray-colored dwarves…”
‘Sizzle!’
The dragon’s breath swept across.
It felt an indescribable pain in its body, and its body armor corroded and melted simultaneously.
The intense pain made it fall immediately.
‘Bang!’
It crashed into the ground.
After it lay on the ground, its eyes finally reflected those terrifying undead dragons that charged into the city he was protecting…
The blood dragon skeleton’s breath that constantly spewed out turned into the scythe of death that wantonly took the lives of the army below.
The gray-colored dwarf troop caught off guard felt the sharpness of Twilight City’s soldiers.
“Counterattack!!
“Explode puppets into the air, blast those d.a.m.ned undead dragons to death!!
“Siege crossbows, focus on shooting that dragon hero!!!
“Everyone, don’t panic! Hold your ground!!”
The gray-colored chieftain continued to give orders.
It forcefully roared.
The gray-colored dwarves, on the verge of collapse, barely managed to organize their defensive forces.
The alchemy crossbows began to recharge in the arrow tower behind the city wall. Their arrows aimed at the particularly striking Alves.
A moment later, the crossbows fully charged.
The alchemy array flashed and disappeared.
‘Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!’
The thicker than a human’s arm arrows let out a sharp whistle as they streaked across the sky with a powerful force.
The heavy weapons would even shatter a large part of the city wall.
Alves, who wantonly slaughtered, suddenly turned his head.
When he saw the arrows that pierced through with speed arduous to see with the naked eye, the blood-red dragon breath in its throat instantly condensed and then directly shot out.
The gray-colored dwarf chieftain behind it was delighted when it saw this scene.
“Using dragon breath to fight against the arrows?
“Stupid undead dragons!”
Special anti-magic techniques forged those arrows. It would be a dream to destroy them with dragon breath!
At this moment, Alves opened its mouth fiercely wide. In the eyes of the gray-colored dwarf chieftain, it was sending itself to death.
It seemed to have seen the crossbow arrow pierce through the other party’s throat, which would tear apart its head and nail it to death on the spot.
But in the next second, the smile on its face froze.
The st.u.r.dy crossbow arrow with extremely high magic resistance flew into the range of the dragon breath.
It was like an ice cube thrown into a furnace that could melt steel.
Just like that, right under its eyes.
It melted.
Yes, those arrows forged with special materials that could pierce through st.u.r.dy dragon scales melted!!
In an instant, the joy on the face of the gray-colored dwarf chieftain turned into infinite fear.
“What kind of monster was this undead dragon? Dragon breath directly melted the crossbow arrows?
“Was this a joke?!”
It was not like it had never seen a dragon before. But how could dragon breath be so powerful?!
Yes, the dragon it had seen was not purebred. But this undead dragon could not possibly still have the strength of a living dragon!!
An A-rank dragon’s breath had already exceeded the limits of what an ordinary person could imagine.
The suicidal arrow tower successfully attracted the attention of Alves.
This paralyzing dragon hero flapped its wings fiercely, and under the terrified gazes of the surrounding gray-colored dwarves, it directly crashed into the tallest arrow tower.
‘Rumble!’
Its st.u.r.dy body directly pa.s.sed through the middle.
The arrow tower was like a mountain that collapsed as it smashed horizontally into the air.
‘Bang!’
After it crashed to the ground, it made a loud sound. It sent dust everywhere, and wood shavings flew far away.
When the enemies looked at Alves again, there was not the slightest injury on its body.
Alves turned around, and its body suddenly accelerated. The dragon hero did not use dragon breath anymore.
It just rammed into the arrow towers one after another.
It has destroyed all the arrow towers.
The scene was very visual.
When the gray-colored dwarf chieftain saw this scene, an indescribable fear rose on its face.
“This monster, monster!!”
It deeply penetrated the defense line in its heart.
It did not dare to resist anymore. It turned around and sped away. After a few breaths, the dwarf chieftain disappeared from everyone’s sight.
‘Roar!’
Alves raised its head and let out a crazy roar.
Then, it lowered its head and looked down at the street with the most mechanical puppets and distorted monsters.
It suddenly stooped down its body and flashed across the street.
At this moment, the blood power on its body suddenly soared.
It was as if gasoline splashed on its body.
On the street, the mechanical puppets instantly lost their mobility and turned into a pile of sc.r.a.p metal.
The blood that replaced the distorted monster’s body began to emit black smoke. Then, the blood-colored energy visibly corroded it.
It seemed that thick sulfuric acid had soaked the bones, muscles, and hair.
After the body corroded, it turned into energy, and Alve’s blood-colored energy devoured it. That was more outrageous.
This terrifying dragon hero could cause ma.s.sive damage to its surroundings even without using its body and dragon breath to attack. It could rely on the blood-colored energy on its body that seemed to burn like flames.
At this moment, Alves was even more of a headache for the gray-colored dwarves than a hedgehog.
If it attacked from a close distance, its blood-colored energy could melt their bodies before they could even attack.
If it attacked from a distance, it would be like scratching an itch for it unless the enemies used a heavy weapon like a city-breaking crossbow.
This Gray-Colored Dwarf City had starkly lost its ability to counterattack after a few rounds of attacks.
It had become meat on a chopping board and let anyone rub.
Richard could see clearly from the outside. Although Gray, Gunter, Alves, and even Xina were all A-rank heroes.
In terms of true battle strength, Alves was number one.
If Gunter could learn more offensive spells, it could keep up with Alves.
Gray was a pure support-type hero. Its role was not to deal damage but to control the enemy.
Anyone who had played the game would know how powerful a control-type hero was when paired with an output hero.
Even a control-type support-type hero was more effective than an output hero.
Xina, on the other hand, was a standard warrior hero.
Her battle skills had solidified to the master level. This allowed her to run amok without fear.
The only flaw was that some power has to activate the sealed power in her bloodline.
According to the game’s positioning, Xina would be the top player, Gunter would be the middle of the mages, Alves would be the meat type, with both meat and output, and Gray would be the hard control support.
The current, basic configuration was still okay, except for the wild a.s.sa.s.sin and the long-ranged archer who could steadily deal damage.
Of course, the more cla.s.sic combination was still the battle mage and priest. However, The religious camp monopolized the priest level. It would be difficult to obtain this cla.s.s unless one believed in a G.o.d.
From the hunt of the level 13 four-armed half-snake man hero on the surface, one could see Gray, Gunter, and Xina’s cooperation. When several people worked together, their explosive battle power far exceeded that of a single person.
When Richard thought of this, he could not help but feel excited.
At this moment, it was like he played collecting heroes and nurturing them.
How to create a powerful hero lineup and match each position was remarkably interesting.
However, if the outside world knew that he had a hero lineup, it would probably cause public outrage.
‘Roar!’
A roar interrupted Richard’s thoughts.
He turned around and saw that Alves had already stopped attacking.
All the fortifications in front of the city wall were now in ruins.
His troops had starkly wrecked the enemy’s defensive strength.
The other skeleton demons and blood dragons moved into the city. When he saw this, he immediately ordered the army to stop attacking and have them seal the city exit.
Don’t kill the alchemist in the chaotic battle. That would be funny.
Richard was in a good mood while he looked at the city that had fallen into chaos.
He did not expect that in two months, his troop had grown to the point where he did not need to attack to capture a small city with good defense.
Next, it was time to reap the rewards.
