Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the dragon beast bumped around like a headless fly and felt that all its strength was weakened by the densely overlapping ritual arrays that gradually lit up on the ground.
No one took to the air to meet the enemy. While the ceremony steadily weakened its power, the large troops on the ground were scattered in various locations in the dense forest and launched attacks into the sky.
The white mist that originally wrapped around the dragon beast to protect it from these attacks slowly dissipated, and even the solid scales seemed to melt into the brilliance of the divine ritual. Then the distorted flesh and blood body roared and breathed flames at the forest.
At the same time, it transformed into an even more ferocious and terrifying appearance.
It tried to rush towards the center of the ground where the light of divine magic shone brightest, but at this moment it heard the roar of a dragon coming from above its head. Just as it was about to raise its head to check the situation, sharp claws came from above and tore apart its body.
The terrible fourth wing.
"roar!"
The tragic howl spread far away, but the giant dragon that attacked it from above did not leave. The crystal-colored dragon's breath penetrated the entire right side of its body, causing lacerations and penetrating injuries to flow out of the body.
Large areas of black blood fell towards the forest sea, immediately igniting large areas of trees.
The dragon beast struggled and gave up half of its body before finally escaping from the hands of the "predator" above. While its body was regenerating rapidly, it also saw that the person it had just been fighting at close range was indeed a dragon.
But the dragon was much smaller than it, and its body looked particularly light between its wings. The scales on its body were like crystal, and even gradually became transparent under the light of the fire on the ground.
The crystal scales reflected a dazzling light, and behind the particularly small dragon, there were thirteen life rings.
"Is it the Thirteen-ringed Crystal Dragon on Dragon Island - Ms. Crystal? The church is really generous this time."
On the deck of the Radiant Messenger, which was invisible in the sky not far away, Flora, with her arms folded, said to Granny Cassandra. Behind the old witch stood her apprentice. She leaned on her cane and looked at the sky in the distance.
Fierce battle:
"Shade and you have done too many things all along. If you don't prove that you are the fundamental force in maintaining world order, how can the Five Gods Church show its authority?"
The old witch who has lived for too long sees things very clearly:
"This time the church probably wants to really show off. They need something to prove themselves."
"Yes, the church hinted that the three major colleges should not take the initiative to join the battlefield this time. Before this, I did not receive any news that the dragons on Dragon Island would appear."
The red-haired girl also appeared on the ship tonight. Because of the existence of the semi-permanent portal, the security issues on the third floor of the hotel do not need to be considered for the time being.
"Sister Louisa, what is a crystal dragon?"
The little princess, who had just entered the world of occultism, asked the female writer standing next to her. Because the witches were tall, Agelina, the shortest one, stood closer to the front.
"Dragons can be divided according to the color of their scales. The more common ones are the five-color dragons, such as the Miss Fiona Drago you have seen; and the metal dragons. The golden dragon bloodline inherited from Countess Belindel's ancestors is metal.
A type of dragon; as for the crystal dragon, it is a type under the classification of gem dragon, and "
"What kind of moonlight dragon does Shade transform into?"
Agelina asked again, but Dorothy didn't know this question either, so she looked at Miss Elise. The boat girl thought for a while and gave an accurate metaphor:
"Shadron's species affiliation among dragons is just like little Mia's racial affiliation among cats."
"They are all exceptions!"
Agelina could understand this sentence even without using "amazing wisdom", but what the blue-eyed boat girl really wanted to express was that Shade was not a dragon, and little Mia was most likely not a cat.
Thaumaturgy and magic constitute the dragon-hunting cage, specifically targeting the relics of the griffin race to weaken its power. The pressure from the thirteen-ring ancient dragon, which is at a higher level in the dragon bloodline, is based on the instincts of the soul and bloodline.
Suppressed the dragon beast.
In fact, Shade and Vanessa on the ground were also at the center of the battle. He, the three great witches and the elf girl had prepared defensive measures in advance. Even if the dragon beast blew up its former lair, it would still be destroyed.
Didn't hurt them.
The original plan discussed with the church was for the Witch Council to lure out the enemies, and then the church would arrange manpower to contain them, and then the God Summoner would enter the scene together with the thirteen rings of the church.
But now it seems that they are no longer needed.
Even the church could not decipher the concealment ability of the Radiant Messenger without its knowledge, but the five people and the little unicorn who had known the floating position of the big ship in advance quickly returned to the ship.
Dorothy went to check on Shade nervously, probably still worried that Shade would be injured. Agelina did not follow this time, but looked at the colorful lights bursting out in the distant sky with some fascination. Xiao Xiao
The princess has great ideals. She never thinks that she is inferior to others except her sister and the purple-eyed fortune teller:
"One day, I will also become the Thirteenth Ring."
"Xia De, do you think this dragon matter can be solved like this?"
Dorothy asked Shade and patted the dust on his shoulder. Shade glanced at the deck to make sure everyone was there. There were no witches involved in the distant battle, and then said:
"It seems a bit simpler, but after all the work I did in the early stage, I actually thought about entering death through the door at home and using Jindel's body to call out his soul. Although his soul was temporarily brought back to reality
The world still needs a heart of the living dead, but maybe the dragon beast will surrender after seeing his soul."
The red-haired duchess, who was about to return to the cabin to change her clothes, showed an expression of "I can still do this":
"Isn't this method better than fighting head-on? Why didn't you do it? We can't find the heart of the living dead. The church should be able to find it."
"Xia De doesn't want to bet on the odds. Although he believes in the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, he is also worried about whether the relationship between the dragon and that person can defeat the ancient evil power."
The red-haired girl answered for Shade and smiled when Shade nodded in agreement.
Only Tifa noticed that her mistress's eyes widened suddenly and her nose flapped a few times. This was the Duke's angry look. The head maid could even tell what the great witch was thinking at this moment:
"She actually knows Shade better than me?! And she also has red hair like me. And she's younger than me!"
Tifa then guessed that her teacher would probably be even more eager to become the Thirteenth Ring in the next period of time.
Vanessa, Carina, Sylvia and Miss Elf went to the cabin to change clothes. Everyone was covered in ashes when the cave collapsed just now. Shade continued to stay on the deck and watched the battlefield in the distance with everyone.
.
If the current situation of this encirclement and suppression battle continues, the probability of the dragon beast winning should be about the same as the probability of little Mia being a normal cat. But Shade had thought about the danger this time when he made the plan. The danger does not lie with the dragon beast.
, but whether the ancient one will take action.
"Speaking of which, you don't still have Jindel's body with you, do you?"
Luvia asked Shade again. Shade nodded and patted his pocket:
"I just used the 'Breath of Time' to restore the corpse to its original state, and now it has become a toy."
"Do you have other plans? Based on what I know about you, if you really thought nothing would happen tonight, you would have buried the body underneath."
She was right, Shade did have other plans, but he just hoped that they wouldn't be like this.
This encirclement and suppression battle was carried out very quickly. In the case of an ambush first, when all the rituals on the ground were carried out, the dragon beast lost its last chance to escape.
The abilities of space and time are temporarily unavailable, and its huge body has been scarred by the ferocious attacks of the Thirteen Rings Crystal Dragon. Although the silent attacks of the Thirteen Rings in the clouds from time to time cannot kill with one blow, they are stable.
Add weight to the scale of victory.
Shade even noticed that Iluna hadn't appeared yet. Obviously, there was another accident, and this time the church had a second plan to carry out.
"But will there be any surprises?"
An unknown person among the witches watching the battle on the deck asked, and the voice sounded like it was Xi Wei. So both fortune tellers tossed coins, but they did not give a definite result.
"Agelina, how do you feel?"
Luvia, who had recently taken some time to teach Agelina about divination, asked, and the little princess also tossed the coin in a hurry, and then almost let the coin roll to the lower deck:
"It shouldn't go that smoothly."
Of course it won't be that smooth. When he was hunting demons, even with the doctor's absolute suppression, coupled with Sister Devlin and the Thirteenth Ring "Winter Singer", Shade was almost overturned by the demons. Of course, this time there will be a chance.
Accident.
In this accident, all the wings on the back of the dragon beast were finally torn apart. It turned into a black ball of fire amidst the wailing sound and fell towards the forest below.
A clicking sound, like the turning of the hands of a clock, clearly appeared in the ears of everyone above and below the forest sea, and then the fallen dragon beast flew back to the sky as if time had gone backwards.
No thaumaturgic attack could stop this process, and even magical rituals that stabilized time could not interfere with this. When the dragon beast rose back into the night sky and its injuries stabilized again, a
The woman's figure appeared above the dragon beast's head.
The thirteen-ring life ring is suspended behind "Clockmaker" Marva Wyman, and the shining "time" spirit rune is the truth of this time reversal.
"Clockmaker, you have lost the war against time. Do you still want to take refuge in evil and betray humanity?"
The "giant beast hunter" who maintained magic under the starry sky asked loudly, so the woman with a metal pointer tied in her braid raised her right hand. The clouds covered the moon and the starry sky, and the night sky was dim, so this made people even more excited.
I could clearly see the dense leaf pattern marks on the back of her hand.
