Chapter 2257

The hybrid dragon beast fixed in the center of the altar, which was surprisingly large, could not escape its restraints no matter how hard it struggled.

Dozens of grooves extended from the center of the gray stone altar to the giant dragon statues standing around the altar. As the "Dragon Feast Ritual" began, the rapidly extracted life force and even the soul materialized into liquid flowed along the grooves into those giant dragon statues, and were then absorbed by the people sitting in the dragon egg seats in the embrace of the giant dragons.

In the ancient altar, the desperate roar of the dragon beast and the scene of its soul being divided and devoured caused Iluna to feel instinctive discomfort.

It was precisely because of this that when the battle officially broke out, the ball of light thrown by Mr. Joshua Brooklyn's right hand almost completely broke the giant defensive ritual around the village in one blow, and Iluna joined the battle without holding back.

In this operation, the Orthodox Church sent more than forty ring warlocks, and there were even more low-ring logistics personnel. This meant that Xia De, who flew from afar, was still carefully breaking through the defensive barrier in the Black Forest.

Iluna was initially puzzled about the necessity of sending a thirteen-ring warlock, but when the battle officially began and five genuine pure-blooded giant dragons rushed out from the operating Dragon Feast Altar, she realized that such an arrangement was actually conservative.

The "Sunlight Spear" under the sun flashed with dazzling golden light. With her feet on the ground, Iluna threw the thunder towards the sky with all her might. Even the largest red dragon among the red, black, green, blue, and white ones dared not take it head-on.

When the Sunlight Spear exploded in the air and hundreds of tiny electric arcs covered the sky of the village, Mr. Joshua Brooklyn took the lead to intercept the five giant dragons, allowing others to enter the village to search for cultists.

Iluna did not summon her mount to fly into the sky, but entered the village with the ground troops.

The church's high-ring warlocks followed closely behind Mr. Brooklyn, intercepting the cultists who flew out of the altar and devoured the power of the giant dragons through the Dragon Feast Ritual. But then, with a dragon roar, the highest-level eleven-ring warlock among the cultists actually turned into a black dragon himself, but was quickly forced to fall from the sky to the ground by dozens of strange arts.

The black flames from the giant dragon's mouth swept towards the village entrance, but were absorbed by the relic in the hands of the priest of the "Dawn Church."

Immediately after, a black beam of light rose from inside the village, and in that strange Dragon Feast Altar, a large number of gray-white giant dragon statues used as decorations came to life, and more and more ring warlocks riding dragon beasts flew out from inside the village.

The contact battle in the air and on the ground broke out immediately. Iluna, who came to the village entrance with the ground troops, held high the dark golden scales in her hand. As the light illuminated the sky, the power of the Chosen One of "Balance" was gradually strengthening her side and weakening the enemy.

The intensity of the resistance encountered by the church was indeed beyond the preparations before the operation, but it had not yet reached the point where it could compete with the joint forces of the Dawn Church and the Sun Church.

The only danger at this time was not people, but the increasing number of pure-blooded giant dragons flying out of the Dragon Feast Altar. In fact, for many years, the Orthodox Church had been puzzled by one question: where did the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 get so many dragons?

Suddenly, three more people flew out of the altar. With the help of their companions, they avoided the church's high-ring warlocks and flew straight from outside the village to the sky above the village. Iluna, who had been following the main force throwing "Sunlight Spears" and was not actually very serious, turned to look at the sky in the southwest, and then blew the bone whistle on her chest:

"It's our turn!"

She jumped onto her mount and shouted, flying into the air with the three high-ring warlocks who came with her from Tobesk.

Among the three cultists, one was holding a golden box, and another was holding a dragon horn.

After the golden thunder thrown by Iluna shattered the dragon beast that attempted to approach, the ring warlock holding the dragon horn threw the black dragon horn directly towards Iluna and the other three.

The dragon horn was not an explosive or a weapon. It drew a black crack in the air. After a teeth-aching sound, as the space tore, a thick hand that looked like a giant's arm, holding a huge bronze greatsword with a strange shape, reached out from the crack.

The surface of the giant arm was covered with cyan dragon scales, and even the giant sword was covered with dragon scales. Perhaps because the arm was too huge, when it swung the sword in the air, it looked like it was moving in slow motion.

But in fact, the speed of this sword swing left most people unable to react.

The sound of the giant sword tearing the air was almost like a dragon roar, and before it hit the people fighting above the village, it first touched the "Earth Power · Earth Energy Cannon" thrown by Iluna.

The huge ball of light like the sun stalemated with the giant sword in the air for a moment, and then the explosion and extreme light forced everyone to look away.

The roaring sound made the Black Forest tremble again, but as the warm light scattered with the light spots, it also let people know that Iluna had not suffered a loss.

The clouds in the nearby sky were also completely shaken away by this blow, and after the smoke of the explosion disappeared, the giant hand reaching out from the space crack cut by the dragon horn had already half-retracted behind the crack.

But Iluna knew that it was definitely not unable to beat her. The reason the giant hand retracted was only because another of the other two ten-ring warlocks in the air opened the pure gold metal box.

A pure white ball of light smaller than an egg flew from the box to the high sky, and it very nimbly avoided the fireballs and shadow balls thrown by Iluna's companions behind her.

When the ball of light, which was almost integrated with the sky, reached directly above the village, the pure white, flawless, heterogeneous light that could melt everything bloomed under this clear sky.

The cooperative relationship between the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 and the 【Light-Seeker Training Society】 was already known to the Orthodox Church, so when this plan was formulated, this most dangerous situation was also expected.

So at the same time the ball of light rose, almost everyone in the air was descending in altitude. At the same time, the incantations quickly chanted by the ground troops were rapidly building a phantom of a temple shape above the village.

At present, the church has not yet figured out how to deal with this kind of light that appeared due to the abnormality of the world, but fortunately, the power of God can resist almost all dangers. The strange art 【Temple Art】 released by six high-ring priests of the Dawn Church together can temporarily protect the group from leaving this dangerous area.

Although it is not known how long it can resist, it should be enough to take away most of the valuable information in the village.

And the cultists of the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 also tacitly descended from the air after the ball of light rose. The ring warlocks fled in all directions, while the dragon beasts launched more violent attacks on the church's ground troops, as if they wanted to perish with the church's troops.

Mr. Joshua Brooklyn had already fallen towards the Dragon Feast Altar with those giant dragons, and the giant hand behind the space crack also used that strange greatsword to block the crack to prevent the penetration of light.

Everyone was waiting and observing whether the church could block this special light from the 【Light-Seeker Training Society】. And the result of this confrontation would determine many things to come.

But they did not see the white light scattered from the air touch the phantom of the temple, because another dragon roar came from the Black Forest.

Roar~

This dragon roar was different from any of the previous ones. That kind of instinctive awe-inspiring pressure definitely did not come from a normal giant dragon.

Iluna even vaguely thought of the dragon roar that appeared with the golden thunder last Sunday above the Belinder Big Ben, which shattered countless windows.

And in fact, she was not wrong, because this was the effect of Xia De's "Dragon Roar."

The pure white light spreading above the village did not spread after this dragon roar, but instead quickly condensed into a pure white light sword and fell into the forest outside the village.

Thus the danger was easily resolved. While everyone hesitated due to this strange situation, the giant arm covered with cyan dragon scales reached out again from the crack in the sky, and the giant sword swept towards the location where the light sword landed.

Clang!

The sonic boom of the two swords clashing swept across the entire forest. The giant sword did not touch the trees, because the huge white light sword raised to the sky from the forest blocked the giant sword that looked like bronze material.

The two clashed, and just the debris scattered from the light sword "melted" dozens of trees in the forest, but the relic giant sword was not affected by the light sword. Then the two giant swords separated, and collided dozens of times above the forest, before the bronze giant sword had to be retracted into the crack by the giant hand due to the change in the battle situation, and then disappeared.

The huge white light sword also disappeared quickly, but it was not that Xia De was unwilling to pursue the victory, but that he simply could not control the giant sword formed by such a concentration of abnormal light.

At the same time as he disappeared in the forest, Iluna and her companions also shot down the two ring warlocks who opened the golden box in the air. And the battle in Erwin Village ended shortly after. A large number of dragon beasts were killed by the church, and the huge dragon beast incubation nest hidden under the village chief's house was also discovered.

It's just that many cultists escaped in the final collective self-destruction of the dragon beasts, and that strange Dragon Feast Altar disappeared like a phantom before the battle ended.

Mr. Joshua Brooklyn seriously injured four pure-blooded giant dragons, and the church's subsequent reinforcements successfully controlled them.

When this thirteen-ring warlock and Iluna went to the location where the light sword landed in the forest outside the village, they only saw petals extending intermittently into the depths of the forest.

Following the trail of petals, Xia De did not show up. In the end, they only found a dragon beast that had died from an arrow piercing its body and a comatose four-ring cultist.
