Chapter 731
One had to admit that the Blackiron Dwarves were nothing in front of this powerful squad that had traveled a long way to slay a dragon.
Perhaps in the Burning Plains, they might be able to own a relatively large territory as their base with their impenetrable Blackiron Tower and their explosive weapons, becoming one of the most excellent subordinates of the Second Grade fire dragon. However, the fate of the Blackiron Dwarves came to an end when they ran into Greem and his party!
Greem didn’t even need to lift a finger. Mary led Vanlier and Soros on the battlefield, transforming into bloodsucking bats and infiltrating the tower through its gun port. What came after was a brutal and reckless slaughter.
Now that they knew how the Blackiron Dwarves did things, the three vampires would never give them the chance to execute their plan. They either killed the dwarves instantly upon seeing them, or they simply fled the blast zone when they realized the enemy had ignited their explosives.
Standing before Blackiron Tower, the only thing that Greem could hear from the outside was the Blackiron Dwarves’ cries of despair. Explosions regularly went off, starting from the lowest level of the tower. Greem looked on as massive tongues of flames shot out of the gun ports and the observation platforms as he listened to the cracks of rifles. The bloody slaughter extended from the bottom of the tower all the way to the top. The weak Blackiron Dwarves finally despaired and broke down before the three phantom-like killers.
The doors of Blackiron Tower once again opened. But this time, it was opened with the sheer force of the Goblin Shredder!
It was clear that Tigule was also embarrassed by his prior failure against these weaklings. As such, he had every intention to wash away that blemish with an absolute slaughter.
Sadly, no Blackiron Dwarves ran out of the tower even after the doors had been opened. The entirety of the first level was littered with corpses in strange shapes and states. Many of them had been blown up beyond recognition.
A narrow fissure that ran for over six kilometers could be seen here at the center of the Burning Plains.
When looking down from the edge of the fissure, you could see the surging river of lava a few thousand meters below. The steaming heat waves and the acrid smell of sulfur made this place a forbidden zone for all life.
Any individual that got too close to the fissure would be killed by the harsh air, even if they were not roasted to death by the heat.
“My lord, I have guarded this place for twenty days, and I have not seen the fire dragon emerge.” The blood knight responsible for guarding this area placed his hand over his chest and respectfully gave his report to Greem.
It was clear that he’d experienced a rough time here over the past few days.
Not only were most of his clothes red and melting from the heat, but even his body was also full of scorch marks.
The fact that such apparent injuries could be left on a Second Grade blood knight was more than enough proof of how harsh the environment was and how few living creatures could exist here. The Firethroat Dragonborn might be everywhere, but the blood knight didn’t dare to attack them for blood out of fear of alerting the enemy.
“Mm, I have made a note of your contribution. Now, get back into the party.” Greem gave a few words of praise before turning and speaking to the others, “The fire dragon’s den is below. Let us go!”
Having said that, Greem was the first to jump down the fissure.
The burning heat waves surged up from below but were kept away from Greem’s body through the flame barrier around him.
Fire clashed with fire, and the flame barrier turned bright red from the heat, violently crackling as it did so.
Greem ignored this and looked at the crimson stone walls as he fell.
Finally, just two hundred meters away from the river of lava, Greem saw a protruding stone platform on a wall to the north. He could vaguely see the glimmer of magical runes there.
There!
Greem, who was still falling at extreme speeds, focused as he cast Fire Teleportation.
The next second, fire flashed upon the round platform as Greem’s tall body appeared there.
He had finally reached the fire dragon’s den’s entrance!
