Chapter 648
Otherworld Summoning.
It was a type of powerful casting ability.
Many professional summoners would establish friendly relations or contracts with powerful otherworldly beings. This way, they could easily summon a familiar ally to their side with an Otherworld Summon just by following a fixed procedure.
Of course, this ‘ease’ was only relative!
Take, for example, the Otherworld Summoning that Greem was currently attempting. Even though he already held a magical contract with the Thunder Dragon Arms as a medium of communication, it was still a complicated matter to break through the two planar barriers of Lance and Faen to summon the dragon to his side.
On the one hand, the difficulty was due to the thunder dragon’s immense power as a Third Grade. On the other, it was due to Faen’s acute rejection of alien creatures.
Fortunately, with Thunder Dragon Arm’s full cooperation and Alice’s own mysterious space powers, Greem finally managed to complete the summoning before the enemy broke through the defensive line.
The summoning wormhole was like a long and deep black hole, continually radiating intense spatial flux outward. Thunder Dragon Arms’ initially great body stretched and distorted within the black hole, occasionally stretching into all sorts of odd shapes.
Judging from this, Greem wasn’t exactly lying when he said that there were green dragons here.
An expression of hesitation and doubt appeared on Arms’ face.
Greem let out a silent sigh.
All dragons were immensely greedy. He had promised so many benefits, yet the dragon still refused to agree without first seeing actual material benefits.
“A hundred kilograms of magical gemstones and…fifty elven maids.”
Greem had no choice but to bite the bullet and lean into Arms preferences after taking into consideration the dragon’s usual personality.
“Deal!” The thunder dragon’s eyes lit up. He roared, “Leave this god messenger to me. I guarantee I’ll chase her far, far away. She won’t ever appear upon this battlefield again.”
As he let out the roar, Arms beat his blue dragon wings flowing with blinding lightning and rose to the skies with his athletic body.
The two individuals involved might only have had a short and rapid conversation, but this had utterly stunned the elves and witches that were watching.
They…they were actually negotiating prices on the battlefield. This…was this still the mighty and noble dragon in their hearts?
The thunder dragon took to the sky. His large dragon eyes glared at all the terrified First and Second Grade elves below him. He opened his mouth and roared once more, “Human adept, seeing how generous you are being, I will help you deal with these as well!”
Arms opened his mouth and spat out chain lightning as thick as a stone pillar. It was only then that he beat his wings and lunged at the elven God Messenger Xenia, who was proudly standing in the skies.
Dammit, this scary Third Grade dragon was truly an ally of those adepts.
Before this thought of theirs could even fully finish, that terrifying chain lightning had already reached the elves.
The first to be hit was naturally the weapons master that was too far ahead.
His body was swift and agile. His swordsmanship was truly legendary as well. Sadly, none of this was of any help before absolute power!
It didn’t matter how fast the weapons master was; he couldn’t possibly be faster than actual lightning!
The lightning blast instantly filled the vision of the weapons master at almost the same instant he thought of dodging.
The weapons master pointed his blades forward. Wild inner power erupted all around his body. A green ring of light just barely protected his body when the lightning struck the tip of his elven saber.
The next instant, the weapons master’s body was paralyzed and hurting tremendously. He had been wholly fried and scorched.
The wild and ferocious lightning chain traveled all over his body and quickly snapped toward the closest elf to him.
That was the Druid Master that had turned into a bear!
He ferociously stood upon his hind legs and roared. He intended to use his incomparably tough body to endure the lightning.
Sadly, when the wild flow of electricity surged through his muscular body, he crumbled to the ground before he could even finish his roar. His entire body started to release thick black smoke. One could vaguely smell the stinging and scorching burnt flesh.
The chain lightning still didn’t stop. It snapped once again and lunged at an elven deadshot that was drawing her bow.
The female deadshot did not have as robust a body as the previous two targets with which to endure the lightning. She frantically dodged, but, sadly, a small part of her body was still struck by the lightning chain.
Aaaaaah!
There was a painful cry as the female elven deadshot crashed upon the ground. The parts of her body that had not been hit by the electricity were still fine. However, the parts that had been hit were burnt to ashes and were on the brink of simply disintegrating.
The energy contained within the lightning chain had erupted three times in succession. Most of the lightning power within it had been exhausted. However, it didn’t disappear yet. It once again carved out a strange, winding path and turned toward another female elven deadshot.
The elven deadshots, which had previously grouped up, panicked and fled in every direction.
By the time the chain lightning exhausted its energy and dispersed into the air, five Second Grade elves had already fallen on the battlefield.
