Volume 6 + Chapter 135: The Battle To Defeat The Evil Dragon

“The evil blue dragon has appeared!” the driver shouted loudly.

After hearing the dragon’s roar, everyone’s faces changed, recalling the outcome of their last battle with the blue dragon.

“We must defeat this evil dragon today,” Daisy announced to everyone. “All personnel, prepare for battle.”

“But that evil dragon is just too strong…” one soldier hesitated.

“If we retreat here, who will protect Maginot Fortress?” Daisy demanded. “If we continue to let the evil dragon run rampant, our family, friends, partners… will all be in danger. Do you want that to happen?!”

“That’s right, Daisy speaks the truth!” Wallace stood up. “We must fight. That is the only way to protect the ones we care about!”

“Fight! Fight! Fight!!”

The people in the vehicle were fired up, responding with impassioned shouts.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a thunderbolt exploded across the earth.

The vehicle spun and tumbled, the soldiers losing all sense of space as they were tossed about.

“Get out of the vehicle!” Daisy shouted.

Xia Yi was the first to climb out through the window.

The other soldiers also made it outside one after another. When they saw the scene before them, they were stunned.

“Th-this is…!” Wallace’s eyes widened.

On the mountain ahead, a blue dragon was coiled. She spread her wings and flew high into the sky.

Clouds obscured the blue dragon, hiding her within the clouds, as rolling thunder and lightning intermittently revealed her massive form.

Whoosh…

Spears of lightning fell from the sky. The dragon circling the heavens, like a judge, delivered a merciless verdict upon the Maginot military below.

“Activate the defensive devices! Mages cast magic shields to assist the defense!” Daisy began directing the battle.

“Yes, ma’am!”

The sturdy warriors quickly pulled shields from the vehicles, rushed to the front, formed up, and raised a wall of shields.

The gems on the shields glittered, releasing magical energy that turned into an anti-magic field, enveloping the area.

The mages around chanted, layering magic shields over the anti-magic field of the shield wall.

“Xia Yi, what are you doing?” Daisy frowned. “Why are you frozen?”

“…Oh!”

Snapping back to reality, Xia Yi used incantation restraint and also cast an ice magic shield to cover the outside, defending against the lightning spears.

The moment the lightning spears touched the magic shields, the intense heat from the lightning energy melted the magic shields, then struck against the anti-magic field of the shield wall.

“Hold… hold it together!!”

Wallace activated blood magic, burning his own blood to enhance his physical abilities, entering a berserk state with crimson eyes, holding the front line.

The Maginot soldiers barely managed to withstand the impact of the lightning spears, but nearly half the gems on their shields shattered.

“Ah…”

Some soldiers collapsed, unable to continue fighting.

The blue dragon descended from the sky. When her feet touched the ground, the earth shook, an overwhelming pressure filling the air.

To everyone, this dragon seemed utterly ferocious to the extreme.

“Roar…”

The blue dragon let out a draconic roar, stunning another group of soldiers. Now only the elite soldiers of the Maginot military remained standing.

“Xia Yi, what is this dragon saying?” Daisy quickly asked Xia Yi. “You’re also a dragon, you can understand Draconic, right?”

“She says… you have successfully angered an evil dragon…”

After seeing the blue dragon reveal her true form up front, Xia Yi’s expression was barely holding together.

“Mages, cast a combined spell! Warriors, attack to cover the mages! Healers, tend to the fallen and try to wake them!”

Facing the ferocious blue dragon, cold sweat broke out on Daisy’s forehead.

But as the commander, she couldn’t fall into panic. She had to assess the situation and continue giving orders.

The mages raised their staves and cast a combined spell. A magic circle formed beneath their feet.

This was an extremely special kind of magic. Each mage was like a different part of the magic circle, chanting simultaneously as if cogs interlocking and turning, thus driving the entire magic circle and unleashing a magical strike far beyond their individual abilities.

This sight amazed Xia Yi. So in the Mythic Age, magic could be coordinated like this?

“Charge, charge, charge!”

Wallace raised his war hammer high. In his berserk state, he led the warriors in a charge against the blue dragon.

Bang!

The only sniper among the Maginot elite soldiers raised a heavy sniper rifle and pulled the trigger, the bullet hitting the blue dragon precisely.

The paralyzing effect of the bullet temporarily restrained the blue dragon.

“Gale Hammer!”

Wallace leaped up and smashed his giant hammer onto the blue dragon’s body, causing his blood energy to explode.

The other warriors also unleashed their signature moves, piling onto the blue dragon.

Because of the paralysis, the blue dragon couldn’t move and could only endure these attacks.

The mages successfully released the combined spell, summoning a fierce wind to surround the blue dragon while flames ignited within the wind. Borrowing the wind’s momentum, it turned into a blazing inferno, as if it would burn everything in the world.

Honestly, Xia Yi was quite surprised by how well these people coordinated. Despite losing many personnel, they could still output this much power. An ordinary dragon would certainly have been defeated. Unfortunately…

“She’s not an ordinary dragon,” Xia Yi murmured quietly.

“Ugh!” The blue dragon’s scale armor was broken, throwing her into a rage.

The dragon in the flames slammed her claws onto the earth, shattering the ground, and at the same time spewed a blazing, scorching white dragon breath.

The destructive energy spread through the cracks in the earth, reaching in all directions, breaking through the flames and engulfing the warriors ahead, knocking them out of the fight. The mages also fell in the blast.

The blue dragon’s massive AOE attack cleared the field in one go.

“…So in our previous battle, the evil dragon wasn’t even using her real strength?”

Daisy’s eyes trembled.

Even after exhausting every tactic they had, they still couldn’t defeat the evil dragon.

The others had already lost their combat effectiveness. A reversal was almost impossible…

The blue dragon stepped forward one step at a time. Daisy fell into despair.

Just then, a small silver figure rushed out and stopped in front of the blue dragon.

“Enough! Stop your evil deeds, wicked kinswoman!” Xia Yi raised her staff and shouted with theatrical intensity. “I will not allow you to continue your rampage!”

The blue dragon stopped in her tracks upon seeing Xia Yi, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“…Huh?”
