Chapter 664: Dragon Might and Holy Light Armor

"Uncle Bulutuo, how much further are the dragons from us?"

Although he had a Dragon Hunting Rune in his hand, Xia Duo had absolutely no experience using it; he only knew that if the rune reacted, it meant the dragon had approached within a certain range.

As for the specific direction, or even the number, only Bulutuo, who had specifically hunted dragons before, had enough experience to judge.

"Still a bit to the west! But why do I feel like you really hope to encounter a dragon right now? Isn't it better the further away you are from Savile Territory?"

"Uh—"

Bulutuo's words made Xia Duo realize he was a bit nervous; after all, he was about to face a legendary creature, and to say he wasn't nervous would be deceiving himself.

During the flight, Xia Duo quickly adjusted his mindset, discarded many distracting thoughts, and allowed his heart to more calmly face the coming battle.

"By the way, Uncle Bulutuo, can you determine the number of dragons?"

"The exact number cannot be determined, only that it is under 5!"

"..."

Fortunately, during the Dragon Disaster, dragons were in a state of madness and had no wisdom to speak of. Otherwise, Xia Duo really wouldn't know how to deal with dragons that possessed wisdom!

The only thing worth being relieved about was that most of a dragon's spellcasting abilities came from their bloodline, not through learning. Abilities acquired through learning would be too unpredictable.

Xia Duo had heard Niya mention before—which she had actually heard from the Princess—that the Drow had used the Dragon Madness Mythallar to control a large number of dragons.

This included a Silver Dragon Mage Organization in the Dragonspine Mountains; almost every member of that organization possessed Legendary strength, becoming a powerful aid in the war between the Drow and the Elves.

Fortunately, what Xia Duo needed to deal with now were just some thick-skinned, flying beasts; they weren't even as smart as beasts!

As they flew, Bulutuo suddenly spoke up to warn, "Right ahead, two of them!"

Xia Duo's spirit was instantly roused, and at the same time, he noticed that Bulutuo's expression had become grave, while Bishop Anbulier was frowning deeply.

After flying a short distance further, Bulutuo began to descend toward the ground, Xia Duo followed closely behind, and Bishop Anbulier landed last.

"Do you see them? They are two green dragons!"

After landing, Bulutuo whispered. Xia Duo nodded slightly; he had just seen them too. Not far ahead, with the help of the starlight filling the sky and his Darkvision ability derived from his bloodline, he clearly saw two dragons in front.

However, the judgment of them being green dragons was not determined by color. Even if one could see at night, it was difficult to distinguish the exact color, especially when looking from a distance, as everything appeared black-gray.

Xia Duo judged them by the physical characteristics of the two dragons. He had once seen a green dragon illusion from a Gnome Illusionist at the Snow Melting Competition; the most prominent physical feature of a green dragon was the crest that extended from the forehead all the way down to the back of its body.

This had left a deep impression on him, and now, seeing those two dragons in front, he immediately associated them with green dragons.

Plus, since Bulutuo also said they were green dragons, it was practically confirmed.

At this moment, one of the two green dragons had its body coiled around a large tree, while the other was curled up under another tree. Looking at the situation, even under the influence of the Dragon Madness Mythallar, the dragon's own physiological habits had not disappeared.

If they kept fighting crazily, they would definitely get tired, and when tired, they would rest. Of course, the situation of fighting to the death could not be ruled out, but at least the two in front of them had not died from fighting yet.

Since it was not a direct encounter with dragons in a state of madness, there was plenty of time for Xia Duo and the others to handle it.

Xia Duo tried to put the Pioneer Scepter he had been holding in his left hand into his Personal Space, preparing to experience the feeling of Dragon Fear, but he didn't expect that as soon as he put the scepter away, he felt an invisible pressure squeezing in from all directions.

It was like the feeling of sinking into water, diving deeper and deeper, with the pressure gradually increasing, as if it would make him unable to breathe the next moment. But in fact, this pressure did not act on the body, but on the mind.

As far as his body was concerned, Xia Duo did not find that his strength had decreased, but his will to continue exerting force had weakened, which indirectly caused the fact that his power had diminished.

And this was still at a considerable distance; if he got closer, would he still have the will to fight?

Perhaps he wouldn't even be able to move!

What was even more terrifying was that this was not a passive inability to move like an Imprisonment Sphere, but a complete loss of the will to act, as if he were a living corpse.

Conversely, if a person could completely resist Dragon Fear, then how powerful must their will be!

Xia Duo admitted he could not completely resist Dragon Fear. Once he got closer, even if he could retain some will to fight, the efficiency of the actual battle would be greatly affected.

Now it seemed that Bulutuo could rely on his own strength to resist Dragon Fear, fight dragons, and even emerge victorious—even if it was against the so-called "shame of the dragon race," the white dragon, it was still quite remarkable.

And in this real world of Magic, whether the white dragon was truly the "shame of the dragon race" was not necessarily certain!

"Is this the might of a dragon? Too terrifying! Truly worthy of being a legendary creature!"

Bishop Anbulier, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, his tone mixed with fear, surprise, and anticipation—it was very complex. Although he had not yet seen the dragons with his own eyes, this invisible might alone gave him plenty of room for imagination.

Anbulier whispered the Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance, and wisps of Radiant Holy Power began to condense.

If it were an encounter battle, there would only be some conventional buff effects, but this was not an encounter battle, but a surprise attack. Bishop Anbulier decided to use a more powerful combat Divine Magic.

Of course, correspondingly, this type of Divine Magic also required a longer preparation time.

As the Radiant Holy Power condensed, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a bit nervous, glancing toward the green dragons from time to time, worried that the situation here would be discovered by them.

But until the overflowing sacred radiance spilled out from Bishop Anbulier's body, flowing out and spreading to the surroundings, the two green dragons did not move at all. If it weren't for their tails moving occasionally, they would almost look like they were dead.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo breathed a slight sigh of relief. Influenced by the Dragon Madness Mythallar, dragons possessed no wisdom. If these two green dragons had discovered them, they would have flown over to start a fight long ago.

They wouldn't be motionless until now.

The sacred radiance spreading from Bishop Anbulier became more and more intense. When Bishop Anbulier stopped chanting the Proverbs, these sacred radiances began to change from their free-diffusing state and started to contract, condensing on the three members of the dragon-slaying team, becoming as if they were substantial.

"Holy Light Armor?!"

Xia Duo's eyes were almost glowing. He had seen a similar existence in the Projection Plane, but the Holy Light Armor in the Projection Plane was summoned by thirteen powerful Paladins to buff a group of ordinary soldiers.

At the same time, there was also a Holy Light Blade buffed onto weapons; by waving the weapon, one could emit substantial holy light attacks, capable of slicing an Orc in two with a single strike.

Moreover, those thirteen Paladins transformed themselves into thirteen giant pillars of light, with sacred radiance continuously overflowing from them to supply the Holy Light Armor and Holy Light Blade of those human soldiers.

Currently, Bishop Anbulier's Holy Light Armor seemed to be lacking something; it was just a layer of protective armor of unknown strength, without weapons, and most importantly—

There was no giant pillar of light to continuously replenish energy for the Holy Light Armor.

It was a one-off deal!

However, since it could make Bishop Anbulier hold his breath for so long, the defensive strength of this Holy Light Armor should be decent.
