Chapter 220 Thwarted Dragons
The adepts hiding in the darkness of the woods showed no fear, even when faced with these mighty and terrifying green dragons. Moreover, the gazes they directed at the dragons had become even more passionate and intense.
How cool would it be to have a dragon as a pet!
Perhaps because the dragons’ performance had provoked him, an adept slowly rose into the skies from the forest a kilometer away from the dragons and confronted them from a distance.
The adept had a wrinkled face and was wrapped in a black robe. He held in his hand a long staff glowing with powerful magical radiance. Indeed, it was the one and only Second Grade adept in the base, Sir Fügen.
A single Second Grade adept was no real threat when pit against a group of adolescent green dragons. After all, even the weakest amongst them was at Second Grade! Moreover, the dragons’ powerful bodies and ability to fly were unmatched even across all the material planes, allowing them to easily challenge enemies above their Grades. It was an easy task to fight against a human with the same grade as them, especially if it was an adept, who were known for their weak and frail bodies.
A young green dragon that had left the Dragon Valley for the first time, and had only participated in a planar war for the first time, roared and charged out from the formation. It seemed like he wanted a duel with this Second Grade adept that had appeared out of nowhere!
The other green dragons in the sky roared in unison, and the massive soundwave caused the entire forest to tremble.
Loud dragon roars filled the skies, and instantly the sky was blotted out by the massive bodies of the green dragons!
The other three green dragons, still carrying the dragon knights on their backs, dove downwards like arrows shot from a bow, trying to save their companion.
Sir Fügen, who remained levitating above the canopy, waved the staff in his hand several times and once again summoned countless green vines to rise into the skies from the surrounding woods, wrapping towards the charging green dragons.
Slash. Slash. Slash…
Three blinding suns suddenly rose on the backs of the dragons. Violent and concentrated energy blades clashed with the green vines. The vines that were able to resist even the powerful poison breath of a green dragon were unable to endure the Third Grade dragon knights’ violent attacks, instantly being shredded to pieces and falling apart.
In the time the green vines retreated, the three dragon knights slashed at the trapped green dragon’s side and the vines extending from beneath the ground were quickly cut.
The unrestrained green dragon broke free of its bindings in anger, forcing away its enemies with a large breath of green poison mist before taking to the skies with all its strength, struggling and stumbling as it did so.
Sadly, its badly wounded dragon wings were no longer able to support its continued flight through the sky.
Its left wing was completely broken, dragging behind its body and unable to be unfolded. The tip of its right wing had been cut off and several large holes had appeared on it. The wounds on his chest, below his ribs, and on his abdomen were the most severe. Large patches of dragon scales were missing and the wounds were bloody and messy. One could see the thick tendons and white bones within the green dragon’s body through the missing flesh.
Such terrible injuries had clearly robbed it of its ability to fly.
After struggling slightly in the air, the green dragon cried sorrowfully as it fell downwards.
Sharp winds whistled in the sky. An even larger and more muscular green dragon dove down, enduring the tide of spells and grabbing its companion’s body with its strong hind claws. It beat its wings and flew into the sky with strenuous effort.
The dragon knight standing on the back of the green dragon waved his longsword, and one after another, bright flame blades blasted out, destroying the incoming spells in terrifying flashes of sword light. Even so, the spells that made it through his defenses and blasted on the two green dragons still caused them to let out muffled grunts of pain.
Dragon scales and dragon skin had exceptional magical and physical resistance; any other flying magical creature would already have been shot down from the skies.
Two massive green breaths engulfed the nearby woods. The other two dragon knights had come to help with the remaining green dragons. The evil adepts quickly scattered and ran through the terrifying dragon breath and the dragon knights’ terrifying blade radiances, finally giving the two surrounded dragons some breathing room.
The green dragons were finally able to fly away from the adepts’ battlefield with much difficulty!
