Chapter 219 The Power of the Dragons
Outside Blue Hillock City. Rose Manor.
Having sensed the oddity outside, Mary moved silently to a large window in her room and lifted the curtain, gazing at the black dots in the distance.
They had yet to arrive, but already the terrifyingly vast and intimidating dragon’s aura surged forth.
The dragon’s aura of might. This seemed like an intangible and mysterious thing, but its effect on normal living beings was very real and unavoidable!
Be it normal warhorses, or the livestock kept at every other house, all the animals would go into a panic when they sensed the dragon’s aura falling from above like a mighty tide. And when they smelled that unique stench of large draconic lifeforms scattered by the wind, their limbs would tremble and give way. They would crouch on the ground in fear, not being able to move even a single step from where they were.
One, two, three, four, five…
Mary’s crimson pupils glowed mildly as she quickly understood what the black dots in the distance represented. Even Mary couldn’t help but wrinkle her soft eyebrows as the numbers continued to increase.
With the dragons as lookouts in the sky, the witcher-knights no longer needed to worry about surprise attacks from the evil adepts.
Six thousand witcher-knights might not look like a lot when stretched into a long line. However, when they were all gathered together, they formed a domineering crowd. Almost every inch of the one kilometer radius of the camp was filled with the busy shapes of the witcher-knights.
All of a sudden, black clouds appeared in the sky above an area where the knights were most densely gathered. In the blink of an eye, a raging lightning storm was almost completely formed. The witcher-knights beneath the black cloud hurriedly got onto their magic colts and spread out in every direction to avoid the terrifying spell.
The green dragons circling in the skies discovered the adept’s location almost immediately. They dove down and covered the area where the mental flux came from with their devastating poison breath.
Thunderbird lived up to his name as the fastest and most mobile adept.
When he realized he had been locked onto by the dragons, he immediately sped out of the dense woods. In a series of lightning flashes he escaped the attack range of the dragons.
One after another, terrifying dragon breath razed the ground from above!
This previously lush forest instantly turned into a land of death and decay. The green trees, vines, thorns, and bushes corroded and withered in the green poison mist in a single second, turning into dead and dry plants.
The dragons were extremely fast while flying. In just a slight dive, they had already closed in on the adepts’ defensive lines.
When the powerful bodies of the four green dragons sliced across the canopy, countless terrifying spells of all colors blasted into the skies, chasing after the dragons.
The very next second, the four green dragons personally demonstrated to the world once again why the dragons were able to become rulers of the skies even amongst all the planes in the multiverse!
Their lithe and agile bodies rapidly turned and rolled in the skies, as the spells locked onto them followed closely behind and drew bright and pretty lines across the sky. With every barrel roll, some of the spells would collide and explode in a blast of explosive fireworks.
When the spells behind them had reached an insignificant number, the green dragons turned around with great agility and neutralized the last few spells with thick green dragon breath.
Then they let out sky-rumbling roars as they flew upwards into the sky, full of pride, and once again showed off their elegant bodies high in the air without sustaining even a single scratch.
If it wasn’t out of fear of affecting his allies’ morale, Greem would have burst out in applause for the green dragons’ performance.
What were the rulers of the skies? What were the rulers of all living beings in a plane? This was a raw show of the dragons’ immense strength!
All those impractical fellows that fantasized about slaying dragons only needed to look at their performance to understand the massive difference in strength between them and the dragons.
Compared to the dragons, the adepts looked like a bunch of human-shaped magic sticks that could only stand about as they cast their spells. In terms of the practicality and flexibility of combat, the dragons were far superior when compared to the adepts!
However, most of the adepts were not bothered by this.
Compared to most of the magical creatures of the material planes, the spellcasting ability of adepts was not particularly amazing. However, back in the World of Adepts, they still very firmly held the dominant position and assumed a dictatorial role!
Why? It was nothing special. It was just that the adepts had wisdom and knowledge, as well as the awareness to use external factors to their advantage!
