Chapter 519 - 277: Are You Trying to Smash My Head? (Part 2)
After all, Drow elves are always renowned for their conspiracy and cunning.
The two Drow elves in front of it, whose strength was roughly at the extraordinary high tier level, would naturally be insignificant to it in its prime, but at that moment, it was injured by the siege of the human legion; caution was imperative.
It remembers very clearly that hundreds of years ago, its mother had once been enslaved by the top-ranked Bane Family among the Drow elves, eventually finding a chance to escape with great difficulty.
Therefore, as a precautionary glint flashed in his giant vertical pupils, the Black Dragon Soron said in a deep voice, "Then I’ll trouble you to hold back the human pursuers for me. Once my injuries heal, I will surely come to the Hernet Family to thank you for this help."
Hmm?
Hearing such shameless words from Black Dragon Soron, even Siriel couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
She and the guard captain, Narrell, exchanged a glance, seeing the fire of anger in each other’s eyes.
This damned black dragon, shouldn’t it stay and fight alongside them?
It’s planning to escape?!
But the issue was, they couldn’t just attack the black dragon, could they?
Now their goal was very clear, to ensure the black dragon could escape from the Urein Empire.
Only in this way, Soron the Black Dragon would continuously trouble the Urein Empire in the future, and the human empire wouldn’t boldly initiate an attack from the Dustmire Swamp region.
"Lord Soron, shouldn’t you fight alongside us?"
But before Siriel could get an answer, she saw the dense fern forest behind the black dragon falling as dozens of human elite dressed in empire attire rushed towards her direction!
"Damn it! Prepare for battle!"
And yet, Black Dragon Soron continued charging forward rapidly without stopping, slightly turning its head, its peripheral vision catching sight of the Drow battling together with the humans, finally putting its mind at ease.
’Damn humans, I’ll definitely get my revenge once I recover!’
’I didn’t expect the Drow to help this time.’
’Hernet Family? If I remember correctly, they are ranked second among the Drow elf families.’
’In that case, I can’t go personally; but later I can send a representative from my subordinate leaders to express gratitude.’
Thinking this, Black Dragon Soron flew southward swiftly, knowing that several dozen kilometers away in that direction lay a smaller swamp.
Though its area was tenfold smaller than Dustmire Swamp, its depth was significantly greater, making it perfect for hiding and recuperating.
...
"Thud! Thud!"
A sound akin to a minor earthquake approached rapidly, bringing an indescribable pressure that started to pervade.
For Raine, this level of dragon might naturally wasn’t much, but beside him, Laisa and Ryu Teng clearly began to show abnormal reactions.
Originally excited, Laisa’s face turned pale, her delicate body trembling slightly, losing the excitement she felt upon hearing they would see the black dragon.
With the sound of snapping plants, a terrible, majestic giant beast emerged into the crowd’s sight.
With dark vision, Raine and Meredith could clearly see the black dragon’s ferocious head, imposing physique, and its obviously broken right wing, along with multiple wounds beneath its flanks.
It couldn’t fly?
Raine showed sudden realization!
The Underdark, though underground, was an extremely expansive space where normally, even if unmatched, a black dragon could leisurely flap its wings to fly away quickly.
But it was evident Soron the Black Dragon could no longer do that.
However, what puzzled Raine and the others was that the black dragon’s pace didn’t seem like it was fleeing at full speed, and its facial expression wasn’t hurried.
Normally, when fleeing for life, one would spare no effort to escape, right?
A few more seconds passed, and the black dragon’s mighty form grew clearer, increasingly confusing Raine’s expression!
Because he noticed there were no pursuers within dozens of meters behind the black dragon?
What’s going on?
Did the Urein Empire give up on a severely injured and non-flying black dragon?
To kill a formidable adult black dragon, especially under Underdark conditions, would require considerable manpower and resources from the Urein Empire beforehand, so suddenly giving up didn’t match logic!
Yet the facts before him showed that the Empire indeed hadn’t pursued.
If that was the case...
Raine’s eyes suddenly brightened!
Raine quickly gestured to Keller Crit and Meredith beside him.
First he pointed at the black dragon, signaled Meredith to launch an attack from the right side, then instructed Crit’s squad to cast fire spells jointly to grab the black dragon’s attention, while he intended to strike directly from the back!
Everyone nodded in understanding.
It wasn’t that everyone wasn’t terrified of facing an injured black dragon, but long-standing trust in Raine’s prowess led them to believe he wouldn’t engage in a fight he wasn’t confident in.
Besides, they didn’t need to confront the black dragon head-on; just some flank harassment wasn’t an issue.
As Meredith held her curved sword, lowered her body, and was quickly circling around planning to launch, suddenly!
Soron the Black Dragon Naertus’ gigantic vertical pupils looked towards Meredith’s direction.
’Not good!’ The group’s expressions changed immediately!
Facing the extraordinary high tier black dragon’s might, Meredith instantly felt the surrounding sounds vanish, all she could hear was her pounding heart!
A soul-touching fear made her whole body tremble, her limbs weakened!
She wanted to give up and turn to flee, but Meredith knew well, as the catalyst for the battle, she didn’t need to really engage in close combat with the black dragon, merely distracting it slightly would suffice.
"Can I not even do this?"
A silent inner questioning brought unprecedented focus, and suddenly, as if some invisible shell cracked, she broke free from the dragon’s oppressive hold and dashed out with her graceful figure wielding two curved swords.
Beside her, Laisa and Sulfur Vine widened their eyes, looking at the charging Meredith with disbelief.
The five fire mages of Crit’s squad also turned their eyes!
Because Meredith instantly went from Classes Level ten to entering the Extraordinary level!
After entering the Extraordinary, the dragon’s might was greatly reduced for her, which evidently delighted Raine.
"Huh? A Drow?"
Meredith’s sudden burst of aura made her original disguise spell completely fail, and with dark vision and the true eye, Soron the Black Dragon Naertus immediately noticed Meredith’s true identity: a Drow elf.
Bear in mind, the Drow elves of Hernet Family had just helped it fend off the human empire’s forces, yet this Drow elf before it was coming to attack?
This sight confused Soron the Black Dragon momentarily.
It couldn’t understand this situation?
Helping it yet attacking it.
However, at that very moment, suddenly!
The black dragon Soron’s pupils constricted as it looked to the side, only to see at its rear-side, diametrically opposite to the female Drow’s attack’s direction, there appeared a grindstone-sized fireball radiating dazzling light and scorching heat!
The violent fire spell energy fluctuation instantly made it realize it was a transcendent level spell.
Although fire spells weren’t its most hated type of magic, they ranked second after lightning spells, so Soron the Black Dragon Naertus immediately reached out with its left claw to try to swat it away.
But in a flash!
’What’s going on?’
’Is that a hammer?’
’Is it going to hit my head?’
Soron the Black Dragon was suddenly taken aback, contemplating what that thing was, when the silver meteor passed behind the fireball in a flash, surprisingly striking its head full of spikes and keratin before it came into effect!
Normally, for most creatures, even demons, the hardest part of their bodies was their skull.
Dragons are no exception, especially for dragons whose bone strength far surpasses ordinary demons; their skull hardness is comparable to diamonds.
Therefore, Soron the Black Dragon wasn’t particularly concerned by the strike aimed at its head, planning to deflect the opponent with its dragon horn.
But the next moment, it realized it was wrong!
Grievously wrong!
Directly striking the soul-like agony!
Unprecedented pain emanated from its forehead!
"Aaargh!!!"
The painstaking Soron the Black Dragon Naertus, immediately shook its head frantically, wailing miserably!
