Chapter 507 - 512: So Strong It’s Despairing!
The worst-case scenario that Hang Yu had worried about before had happened.
Dragon Ridge not only deployed the Dragon Generals.
The two Dragon Generals led only the vanguard legion.
The Mad Dragon King Heska personally led an army right behind them.
Because of Heska’s later departure, the two units maintained some distance, with the Dragon Generals first entering the Desert Province, destroying eight small territories in succession, actually awaiting the Mad Dragon King’s troops.
When the Mad Dragon King entered the Desert Province, he felt the time was ripe.
He then ordered Spitz and Balute to attack Gale City.
According to the original plan.
The Mad Dragon King intended to take advantage of the siege at Gale City and directly lead his troops to bypass the western defense of the Desert Province and directly attack the central core, Celestial Desolation City, capturing it in one stroke.
The Mad Dragon King’s force was not large, only numbering ten thousand, smaller than the vanguard army. But with the Mad Dragon King’s personal leadership, there was no reason for a surprise attack on Celestial Desolation City to fail, and the two Dragon Generals leading twenty thousand troops here could presumably break through Gale City’s defenses without much issue.
Thus.
The western passage would be opened.
The central core would be occupied.
The Dragon Ridge Legion could dismantle the Desert Province’s resistance in the blink of an eye, quelling the rebellion with the shortest time and minimal battle damage.
What the Mad Dragon King did not expect was.
The battle at Gale City had significant issues.
When the Mad Dragon King sensed Balute’s death, he finally could not sit still. He activated a Space Gate, consuming a large amount of Spiritual Power, leaping nearly a hundred miles to appear instantly on the battlefield.
Needless to say.
Though the Mad Dragon King was the undisputed Dominator of this world, he did not develop blindness or arrogance from his long reign. Throughout the long period, he never let down his vigilance and remained cunning and cautious.
For this reason, upon learning of the Desert Province’s rebellious autonomy, he did not underestimate it or take it lightly. He reacted in the shortest time and deployed the strongest force to suppress the rebellion.
In the past.
When a province rebelled.
Sending one of the Three Great Dragon Generals was usually sufficient.
This time, not only were the remaining two Great Dragon Generals deployed, but Heska himself took action and remained alert to changes in the situation, all because of human participation.
The Mad Dragon King, through the Celestial Team members, had gradually acquired a wealth of information about the human forces and realized the tricky and potentially threatening nature of this new race. Even though they were still weak, he was determined to crush them with all his might!
Once humanity grew stronger.
It would be too late for anything!
Nazg reacted quickly, grasping the Sky-breaking Axe with his right hand.
"Asura Ghost Slash"!
The axe blade, enveloped in powerful purple-red energy, cleaved outwards, causing the space to shatter wherever it passed, sweeping towards the ruler feared by all beings in the Earth Dragon Realm with the momentum of landslides and tidal waves.
With a bang!
Nazg felt a force of resistance surge towards him.
When he saw the situation clearly, he could hardly believe his eyes.
The Mad Dragon King’s dark golden pupils were filled with mockery and disdain. He simply lifted his left hand, and his five fingers easily caught the axe blade.
The Sky-breaking Axe.
A Divine Soldier weapon with Space Attack attributes.
It couldn’t even destroy the Mad Dragon King’s glove.
The Mad Dragon King’s left-hand glove was not an ordinary glove. It was a single-handed weapon in the category of metal gloves and shone with Spiritual Energy in purple, of extremely high quality and level.
But it was not a shield after all!
The Mad Dragon King blocked Nazg’s heavy strike with his hand, remaining unmoved, as if catching a mere badminton birdie thrown at him.
This nearly contemptuous attitude.
It instilled genuine fear and trembling from the heart.
Even for the Desert Governor Nazg, directly facing the Mad Dragon King, was the gap unbridgeable as a chasm?
Nazg exerted all his strength to pull the axe back and then launched Attack Skills again, furiously hacking at the Mad Dragon King from different angles with the Sky-breaking Axe.
However.
In the next few attacks.
The axe didn’t even hit the Mad Dragon King.
Because the Mad Dragon King had already released some kind of Defensive Skill, the axe blade was blocked by a light curtain about three feet away each time, and these light curtains were extremely sturdy, only showing slight dimming after several strikes.
"Pathetic ant!"
The Mad Dragon King spat the words out slowly, then extended his fingers and pointed at Nazg.
Nazg’s body stiffened, instantly lost his vision and even his senses, as if he was suspended in a weightless vacuum.
Spiritual Attack!
More than one Skill.
A Control Skill by a Spiritual Professional!
Judging by the strength, at least Fourth Tier!
The moment the Mad Dragon King controlled Nazg, his left hand immediately clenched into a fist, burning with flames and Fighting Qi, and he broke the sound barrier in an instant, aiming at Nazg’s head.
Nazg, after all, was not a governor of a province who would be easily defeated. At the critical moment, he broke free from part of the control and unleashed a burst of Fighting Qi, dispelling the paralysis of his body.
But the Fighting Qi could not dispel the Mad Dragon King’s attack.
Because the Mad Dragon King’s attack was too strong!
At the last critical moment.
A left-hand shield blocked slightly.
The purple quality shield shattered instantly.
He was engulfed by Fighting Qi and flames, knocked from mid-air directly into the ground two hundred meters away, creating a giant pit with a radius of about ten meters.
The violent shock wave erupted.
A circle of soldiers around were knocked over.
The confrontation between the two strong men was actually very brief.
However, anyone could see that despite Nazg barely managing two exchanges with the Mad Dragon King, the gap in power between them was overwhelming, completely not on the same level.
In the eyes of the Desert Province people, the Governor was nearly invincible.
Yet when facing the invincible Mad Dragon King of the Earth Dragon Realm, he was utterly defeated!
Jiang Nan quickly shouted seeing this situation: "Healing team, get over here and help!"
Speaking between breaths.
She was about to move over.
Hoping to heal the injured Nazg.
The Mad Dragon King, with a gauntlet on his left hand and a purple treasure pearl in his right, released several large-scale spells just as Nazg fell to the ground.
Ice River Descent!
Under the massive Fourth Tier skill, dozens of soldiers and Celestial Desolation City warriors who attempted to cover Nazg were frozen into ice sculptures.
A Fire Meteorite descended from the sky, wiping out all those ice sculptures along with everything within the attack radius. This was the Fourth Tier Earth series spell, Meteor Technique. Jiang Nan hadn’t had time to get close before being hit by the shock wave and thrown heavily to the ground, head bleeding, face dirtied, watching helplessly.
Eternal Damnation Flame!
Hell Thunder Light!
Endless Wind Domain!
Three ultra-powerful Fourth Tier spells were launched in succession.
All these skills headed towards Nazg, who didn’t even have the chance to turn over before being overwhelmed by the roaring force.
His previous fight with Spitz hadn’t fully recovered, and after being heavily hit by the Mad Dragon King, his Life Energy was already very low. Currently, he couldn’t recover in time, and under the suppression of large-scale spells, the Healing Soldiers and Holy Professionals couldn’t approach at all.
The Mad Dragon King aimed to slaughter the strongest among them in front of the entire Desert Army.
To achieve the goal of crushing their morale through such means!
"Heska!"
Nazg roared unwillingly.
Ultimately, he was shattered within the terrifying force.
Everything happened so fast that everyone was stunned. The situation that was originally favorable was heavily hit by the sudden appearance of the Mad Dragon King.
"This guy..."
"He took out Nazg!"
"How is he so strong? Is he a warrior or a mage?"
The terrifying realization dawned on people that the Mad Dragon King’s power was simply beyond understanding. This guy possessed extraordinary close combat power, abnormal magic ability, could perform Spiritual Professional skills, and even applied self-BUFF and Healing Skills!
In other words.
The Mad Dragon King integrates close combat, support, magic, and healing!
Indeed, if you think about it, the Mad Dragon King has lived for over seven hundred years, long enough to gather numerous skills, create various legacies, and equip himself with a supreme top-grade set.
The Mad Dragon King’s innate attribute is "Combat Professional"!
But who said a Combat Professional can’t build legacies in Magic, Spiritual, or Holy professions? In these four legacy systems, the Mad Dragon King has activated at least one Fourth Tier legacy in each.
Altogether, he activated six Fourth Tier legacies, possessing an exceedingly large number of skills, and most of his equipment are purple quality.
The Mad Dragon King’s domination over the Earth Dragon Realm for hundreds of years is not without reason; in this barbaric, cruel world, where strength rules supreme, without overwhelming power, it’s impossible to be a high and mighty ruler!
The Mad Dragon King’s cold voice echoed across the battlefield: "Siege!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"All traitors must die!"
"For the glory of the Mad Dragon King!"
Spitz raised his weapon, roaring with fanaticism.
The Dragon Ridge Army commanders issued invigorated shouts.
The invincible Mad Dragon King had personally joined the battle.
The reinforcements will arrive soon, how likely it is for this battle to be lost? The Dragon Ridge Army that was initially retreating launched another assault.
Both sides’ morale rose and fell.
The scales of victory shifted again!
The Mad Dragon King leaped forward, appearing above Gale City. His originally three to four meters tall figure suddenly expanded tenfold, transforming into a forty to fifty meters long Dark Gold Giant Dragon!
A shadow descended from the sky.
The Dark Gold Giant Dragon landed directly in the center of the Desert Army.
A breath of Dark Gold Dragon Flame was released, whereupon dozens and up to a hundred soldiers were obliterated!
With a swipe of the dragon’s tail, a dozen people were knocked away.
It was difficult for people to engage him in close combat.
Be it spells or arrows.
The majority of long-range attacks hitting the dragon were blocked by the Defense Shield, and even if occasionally a few managed to touch the scales, they couldn’t inflict significant damage, as the life and defense of the dragon-formed Mad Dragon King had heightened, and he could continuously heal himself.
"Unbeatable!"
"We can’t possibly defeat this monster!"
The Mad Dragon King’s formidable power was so shocking that every human harbored this thought. Even Xu Tianhua, Zhao Ming, and others felt a near hopelessness.
At this point, there seemed to be no way to defeat such a high-level being!
This battle seems nearly impossible to salvage.
So much effort put in.
Prepared for so long.
Are we still destined to face destruction in the end?
