Chapter 132: Dragon
The entire army of Roam City was wiped out in just one go. Even though a few used Earth elements to erect walls to block, it was only a hope to snatch at life.
The large amount of oil colliding with the city wall made it vibrate repeatedly. The barrier, already weak, now had to endure huge pressure, making it shatter; fortunately, those using the Earth element were ready and reinforced the city wall firmly so it wouldn't collapse.
All the soldiers and mercenaries standing on and below the wall are extremely shocked at this horrific scene; precisely, it is a mass slaughter. But mostly it only passes briefly; mostly they didn't expect Tharros City to have such a tactic, the rest are happy because they received money.
The massive amount of oil at this time rises terrifyingly high. Its fire burns high, almost reaching where everyone is standing, making everyone sweat from the horrific heat.
"Aaaa"
"We won..."
Loud shouts of joy echo throughout Tharros City from the soldiers and mercenaries.
Hastk is lying on a bed in a coma after trying to endure.
Selena grips her hand on the stone block of the city, happy in her heart but with a few empty spots.
Cavensyl standing beside her is also not rejoicing, immediately giving orders:
"Quickly gather the army to hunt for Varlen and occupy Roam City for me."
Selena takes out from her person the three familiar cups and looks toward the distance.
"So we've won, luckily it was effective."
"Now we must handle this oil, otherwise it will become a great disaster."
Selena closes her eyes tight, the three cups fly up and her pink energy surrounds the three cups. The cup with a golden body suddenly has a deep, bottomless black color appear inside its bottom.
She swings both arms, the three golden cups falling straight into the place where oil is still burning. Immediately, the oil gradually withdraws rapidly, making everyone surprised.
Actually, everything is quite simple. That golden cup is the "River-Swallowing Cup"; this thing can contain the water of an entire river. But there is only one of these things.
So Cavensyl used the "Multiplication Order." It cloned six River-Swallowing Cups, three to pour and three to suck back. Thus Cavensyl had secretly collected all the oil and bought more from outside to fill the River-Swallowing Cups.
The clones of the River-Swallowing Cup created by the Multiplication Order will gradually disappear after one year. Cloning is also extremely complicated; initially, they wanted to clone as many as possible to be sure, but couldn't. This thing is not about combined force or anything, but requires the possessor of great energy to use it. And Hastk is the one who cloned them; he is also a person with an extremely large energy well, but the maximum was only six, while the original is still kept away.
After all, Hastk is someone invited by the entire Royal Family, so being strong is certain, not to mention having power allowing teleportation like that requires him to have a large energy well and energy gate to be able to use it surely.
The Multiplication Order is truly very strong, but it is also extremely damaging. And currently, Hastk is in a coma, status unknown; though saying Hastk has a large energy gate to use it, it was still forced; even if his energy gate is among the largest in the kingdom, it wasn't enough.
…
While everyone is still rejoicing because of victory…
Whoosh!!!!
A black shadow glides past everyone rejoicing in Tharros City. The black shadow is as if black clouds obscured the sun and then glided past.
A dragon has smelled the stench of blood and come here. It immediately hooks its giant leg into the mountainside, making rocks fall; its head hits hard, destroying the peak of the mountain to make a place for it to stand.
The dragon is of giant size, two back legs clinging tight to the back of the mountainside, two front legs placed on the peak. Its body is terrifyingly large, as if wrapped around the mountain peak, the large tail wrapped around the mountain body. The dragon's body is one black color, the skin bumpy. It spreads wide two large wings as if obscuring the sun; the inside of the wings is red, the outside is black, black bones protruding from a few places, the membrane of the wings like a giant skin sheet. Along the head and running straight down to the end of the tail is a long row of long, high, and very curved spikes; they are like black sword blades planted on its body. The dragon's face is extremely fierce, its feet clinging to the cliff and long black claws goring deep inside.
Immediately demonstrating its majesty, it opens its mouth wide and roars down toward the bottom; when it opens its mouth, the teeth are large, white, and extremely sharp.
"Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."
A large, deep, muffled sound echoes down toward the bottom, showing that the king of the sky has appeared.
The whole of Tharros City—everyone is panicked and terrified, some running chaotically.
"What is this?"
"Is it a dragon?"
"Why would a dragon appear here?"
The red eyes glow brightly like a red stone shining harshly. Its mouth gradually closes, but if looking inside, one would see the throat of this dragon.
The throat is the thing that shows how dangerous this dragon is. Its throat has only one red-orange color, showing it can only breathe fire.
If a dragon has a multi-colored throat, for example: the throat has red-orange and blue colors, this means it can use both fire and water.
But that is not yet the dangerous part; the most terrifying thing is a dragon with more than one throat; looking at the throat it's weird like that, some people criticize that it looks like cow testicles but giant and colored. It's true it looks like that, but it is extremely dangerous.
Returning to the issue of many throats, it shows this dragon is extremely dangerous, with certainly a capability of having more than four elements, even unique elements of its own. Not to mention it means its elemental destruction capability is at least five times that of those with only one throat.
Example: a dragon with one throat faces a dragon with two or more throats. And the dragon with one throat is the fire element; the dragon with two throats also has the fire element and three other elements. But if it only uses the fire element to face off, then at this time the fire power of the dragon with two throats will be five times that of the dragon with one throat.
As the dragon's mouth gradually closes, suddenly from two sides of the jaw sparks small flames. The air around this dragon is as if distorted because of this heat. Its throat glows red…
The dragon thinks to itself with a cute voice in its head:
"This place has so many dead people, it really is interesting, I also want to play."
As it prepares to blow away all of Tharros City, it suddenly senses energy from afar, making it curious like a child.
Cavensyl at this time stands above, his body trembling repeatedly from fear.
"Why would it appear here?"
He knows with that size of the dragon, just falling down into the city could turn Tharros City into flat ground.
But the dragon suddenly turns its head to one side, its left. It seems it is a bit curious because it sensed a strange energy source.
Suddenly it spreads its wings wide as if covering the entire sky. Then it flaps its wings once powerfully; two terrifyingly large legs clinging to the cliff use strong force and spring off the cliff combined with the wing flap, making its body fly into the air.
Below, a terrifyingly large wind sweeps down below, making those who are panicked and have no strength be blown away; many people have to struggle. This is exactly a gale from just one wing flap; a few weak rooftops were even flipped up. The wing beat when flying is quite normal, but the first wing beat to fly up is the important one and needs an extremely large force, thus creating such wind power. One part is that it didn't really need to flap its wings that hard, but this dragon intentionally flapped with all its strength to show off power.
Lauching into the sky with extremely fast speed and flying away, its two wings spread wide, red eyes scanning down toward the ground. The body is large and black, the skin bumpy but full of muscle, making it even more powerful.
"So strange, why do I feel four identical energy sources? Did I feel wrong? Or is it something new that made that happen?"
Thoughts with a childish voice ring out. This proves this dragon is a young dragon, not an adult dragon; perhaps it was curious and flew out of the dragon territory, certainly out of curiosity.
When a dragon appears, it will surely attract many, especially strong ones wanting to try dragon hunting. So mostly dragons must be mature before going out.
Although the dragon tribe is very strong, truly speaking, they are not too strong. The top five tribes are still the Human tribe with numbers and very strong individuals, the Demon tribe with great power needless to say, Angels also need no discussion of power, Yokai and Elementals also need no discussion. So the dragon tribe or Elves or vampires are only strong after them. If there were a battle of the dragon tribe against any of the five strongest tribes above, surely the dragon tribe would be crushed.
Recovery capability is only nearly equal to vampires, and naturally far inferior to Demons. They have no powers, and strength is also inferior.
Humans usually dominate the ground and the sky as far as their vision goes; high above is the dragon tribe. And the highest is the Angels, but Angels don't bother to fly around scouting like dragons; they only have their territories; if entering their territory then it's an intrusion, while dragons just need to fly into their range and be caught, and they will surely be destroyed.
…
At this time, the group is walking on a dirt road in a small forest; the plants and flowers are quite low, a few of the tallest trees only about 1 tharn (2 meters) high.
Aoto laughs cheerfully because of joy.
"Hahaha, this time there is really a lot of money; I didn't expect her to pay so generously."
Airi's face is bored; she seems quite regretful about something.
"So annoying, if I knew, I would have bought a storage ring. Now each person holding a hundred gold coins is too much. I forgot."
Storage rings are quite special; in the world, only a few people with the ability to control space can create them and sell them at the cut-throat price of 500 gold coins. The reason Airi regrets is that if there's a chance one should buy because it's very precious, not to mention the group cannot use up too much money like that; another thing is that ring also has many uses for holding things for everyone's trip.
