Chapter 603 Dalka’s Troubles
Dalka had been feeling a little uneasy the past few days.
As the dragonborn servant of the young Frost Dragon Aruntini, his most important duty was to properly look over his master’s lands while his master slept. Over the past three hundred years, Dalka had done a good job. An exceptional job, even. His dragon lord had often praised him for his performance.
Yet today, this dutiful Second Grade dragonborn felt extremely troubled.
What troubled him was some big commotion that had happened in the Stonetalon Mountains several thousands of kilometers away from here. Wind Dragon Lord Cherkes had also disappeared mysteriously. A foreign magical machine army had now taken place within his lands.
The reason these enemies were called an army instead of a tribe was that they were not lifeforms. They were no more than magical golem machines being controlled by another group of people. However, one could tell from the way the machines fought that a powerful commander stood behind them. This commander was able to control every single individual machine as if it was their own body.
Dalka had heard plenty of rumors. Most of them described these magical machines as metallic lifeforms that were able to continuously grow in numbers by devouring the metal ore veins beneath Stonetalon Mountains. Of course, there were also some rumors that described the enemy as otherworldly intruders, with the metal golems as no more than their external forces.
Dalka’s limited brain capacity had slowed after listening to too many of such similar rumors. He hesitated countless times, but could never muster the courage to run to Dragon Lord Aruntini’s quarters and wake the dragon up.
These dragonborn might have powerful abilities and great combat instincts, but all these advantages and disadvantages piled up. They could only, very regrettably, fall at the hands of the Crimson adepts.
One of the dragonborn warriors had died from Endor’s poison after being pierced multiple times by Billis’ sting scorpion army. The other dragonborn warrior was shredded into countless pieces by Deserra after being petrified by Dana at close range.
The battle of the Second Grades had also concluded by the time this battle ended.
Second Grade Dragonborn Dalka died!
Mary was severely wounded, while Zacha was only slightly hurt.
However, these wounds were nothing for Zacha, especially with his powerful regeneration ability and the healing potions that he had consumed. On the other hand, Bloody Queen Mary had been the leading force in this battle. As such, she had also received the most grievous of wounds. However, when she crouched upon Dalka’s bloody body and sucked the blood from the corpse, the horrifying wounds on her body healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
It was only now that Greem appeared with Oliven.
One reason the two had not helped in the battle was that Mary and Zacha alone were enough to take down this Second Grade dragonborn. The main reason they hadn’t done so, however, was because Greem’s attacks always came with tremendous sound and light effects. The Silencing Barrier could only cut off noise, but not tremors and light.
That was why Greem could only delay his appearance so as not to alert the dragonborn in the camp at the foot of the mountain.
Oliven, on the other hand, was not a direct subordinate of Greem’s; she was only a strategic ally, and having her participate in the battle cost too much. That was why this dragon-slaying blade would only be used in the most appropriate place.
The path to Second Grade Frost Dragon Aruntini’s quarters had become unobstructed after killing these dragonborn!
