Chapter 2888: Crystal Dragon and Accident

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the dragon beast, which was bumping around like a headless fly, only felt that its whole body's strength was weakening because of the dense, overlapping ritual base arrays gradually lighting up on the ground.

No one flew up to meet the enemy. While the ritual steadily weakened its strength, the large troops on the ground launched attacks toward the sky from various positions in the dense forest.

The white fog that was originally entwined around the dragon beast and could resist these attacks slowly dissipated, and even the solid scales seemed to be about to melt in the radiance of the divine art ritual. So the deformed flesh body transformed into an even more hideous and terrifying appearance while it roared and spat fire at the forest.

It tried to rush to the center where the divine art light was the brightest on the ground, but heard a dragon roar from above its head at this moment. Just as it wanted to raise its head to check the situation, sharp claws had already attacked from above, tearing its terrifying fourth wing to pieces.

"Roar!"

The tragic howl spread very far, but the giant dragon that attacked it from above did not leave just like that. The crystal-colored dragon breath pierced through its entire right side, and the laceration and penetrating wound caused the large patches of pitch-black blood flowing from its body to fall toward the forest sea, immediately igniting large patches of trees.

The dragon beast struggled to abandon a small half of its body before finally escaping from the "predator" above. While its body was rapidly regenerating, it also saw that the small dragon that had been fighting it at close range was indeed also a dragon.

But that dragon's volume was much smaller than it, and its body appeared exceptionally light when vibrating its wings. The scales on its body looked like crystal color, and even gradually became transparent under the reflection of the firelight on the ground.

The crystal scales reflected dazzling light, and behind that exceptionally small dragon, there was a thirteenth-tier life ring.

"Is that the thirteenth-tier crystal dragon - Lady Crystal on Dragon Island? The church is really generous this time."

On the deck of the Radiant Messenger floating in the air not far away, Flora, who was standing with her arms crossed, said to Granny Cassandra. The old witch stood behind her apprentice, leaning on her cane and watching the fierce battle taking place in the sky in the distance:

"Xia De and you have done too many things all along. If they don't prove that they are the fundamental power to maintain world order, what will the Five Gods Church use to show their authority?"

The old witch who had lived for too long saw things very clearly:

"The church probably wants to truly show off this time. They need some things to prove themselves."

"Yes, the church hinted that the three major academies should not actively join the battlefield this time. Before this, I also didn't receive news that the dragons on Dragon Island would appear."

The red-haired girl also appeared on the ship tonight, because of the existence of that semi-permanent teleportation gate, the safety problem of the third floor of the inn didn't need to be considered for the time being.

"Miss Lu Yisha, what is a crystal dragon?"

The little princess asked the female writer standing beside her. Because the witches were tall, Ajielina, who was relatively the shortest, stood relatively in the front.

"Dragons can be divided according to the color of their scales, among which the more common ones are chromatic dragons, such as Miss Fiona Delage whom you have seen; there are also metallic dragons, the gold dragon bloodline inherited by the ancestor of Countess Beierlinde is a kind of metallic dragon; as for crystal dragons, they are a type under the classification of gemstone dragons, and there are..."

"What kind of species does the moonlight dragon that Xia De transforms into belong to?"

Ajielina asked again, but Duoluoxi didn't know this question either, so she looked at Miss Yilaise. The ship girl thought for a while and gave a precise metaphor:

"The species attribution of Xia De dragon among dragon species is like the species attribution of Little Mia among cat species."

"They are all exceptions!"

Ajielina could understand this sentence even without using "Peerless Wisdom," but what the blue-eyed ship girl really wanted to express was that Xia De was not a dragon, and Little Mia was also likely not a cat.

Wonders and divine arts constituted the cage for hunting dragons. Relics specifically targeting the griffin species weakened its power, while the pressure from the thirteenth-tier ancient dragon at a higher point of the dragon bloodline produced suppression on that dragon beast from the instincts of soul and bloodline.

In fact, Xia De and Vannisha and the others on the ground were also at the center of this battle. He and the three great witches and the elf girl had made defensive preparations in advance. Even if the dragon beast razed the former nest to the ground, it didn't hurt them.

The plan originally discussed with the church was for the Witch Council to lure out the enemy, then the church would arrange for manpower to contain it, and then the Awakened God and the thirteenth-tier warlocks of the church would enter the arena together.

But now it seems that they are not needed.

The concealment ability of the Radiant Messenger could not be cracked even by the church without knowing the truth, but the five people and the little unicorn who had known the floating position of that big ship in advance quickly returned to the ship.

Duoluoxi was somewhat nervous to check Xia De's situation, probably still worried that Xia De would be injured. Ajielina didn't follow this time, but was somewhat fascinated by the colorful colors bursting out in the sky in the distance. The little princess had a great ideal. She never thought she was inferior to others... except for her sister and that purple-eyed diviner:

"One day, I will also become a thirteenth tier."

"Xia De, do you think this dragon matter can be solved like this?"

Duoluoxi asked Xia De, helping him pat the falling dust on his shoulders. Xia De glanced at the deck to confirm that everyone was there. The battle in the distance did not involve the witches, so he said:

"It looks simpler, but after all, work was done in the early stage... Actually, I thought about entering death from the door at home, using Kindel's corpse to summon his soul. Although bringing his soul back to the real world temporarily requires a living dead heart, but that dragon beast might have surrendered itself if it saw his soul."

The red-haired duchess who was preparing to return to the cabin to change clothes showed an expression of "it can still be done like this":

"Compared to a frontal battle, isn't this method better? Why didn't you do it? We can't find a living dead heart, but the church should be able to find one."

"Xia De doesn't want to bet on probability, right? Although he believes in the truth, goodness, and beauty of human nature, he is also worried about whether the feelings between that dragon and that person can overcome the power of ancient evil."

The red-haired girl answered for Xia De from the side, and seeing Xia De nod in approval, she showed a smile.

Only Tifa noticed that her mistress's eyes widened and her nostrils flared a few times. This was the appearance of the duchess being angry. The maid head could even say the thoughts of the great witch at this time:

"She actually understands Xia De better than me?! And she also has red hair like me... and she is younger than me!"

Tifa then guessed that her teacher would probably be more eager to become a thirteenth tier in the next period of time.

Vannisha, Miss Jia Lin Na, Xierweiya, and the elf girl went to the cabin to change clothes. Everyone was covered in dust when the cave collapsed just now. Xia De continued to stay on the deck to watch the situation on the distant battlefield with everyone.

If this siege battle maintains the current situation, the probability of that dragon beast winning and the probability of Little Mia being a normal cat should be about the same. It's just that when Xia De formulated the plan, he thought about the danger this time. The danger is not in the dragon beast, but in whether that ancient one will take action.

"Speaking of which, you wouldn't still be carrying Kindel's corpse on you, right?"

Luweiya asked Xia De again. Xia De nodded and patted his pocket:

"Just now I used 'Breath of Time' to restore the corpse to its original state, and now it has become a toy."

"Do you have any other plans? According to my understanding of you, if you really thought nothing would happen tonight, you should have buried this corpse below."

She was right. Xia De indeed had other plans, but he hoped that this would not happen.

This siege battle proceeded very quickly. Under the situation of a preemptive ambush, after all the ritual base arrays on the ground were unfolded, that dragon beast lost the last chance to escape.

The ability of space and time could not be used temporarily, and the fierce attack of the thirteenth-tier crystal dragon made its huge body already covered with scars. The attacks occasionally carried out by the thirteenth-tier warlocks in the clouds, although they could not kill with one blow, steadily added weight to the balance of victory.

Xia De even noticed that Yiluna had not yet appeared. Obviously, even if an accident occurred, the church had a second plan that could be carried out.

"But will there be an accident?"

One of the witches watching the battle on the deck asked, but the voice seemed to be Xiwei. So the two diviners threw coins, but they didn't give a definite result.

"Ajielina, how do you feel?"

Luweiya, who had been taking time to teach Ajielina divination recently, asked. The little princess also threw a coin in a panic, and almost let the coin roll to the next level of the deck:

"It shouldn't be that smooth."

Of course it wouldn't be that smooth. When hunting demons, even with the doctor's absolute suppression, plus Sister Daifulin and the thirteenth-tier "Winter Singer," Xia De was almost overturned by the demon. This time, of course, there were accidents.

And the accident this time appeared when all the wings behind the dragon beast were finally torn off, and it fell toward the forest below in a ball of black fire amidst wails.

Click~ A sound like the rotation of a clock hand clearly appeared in the ears of everyone above and below the forest sea. Then, the falling dragon beast flew back to the sky as if time had flowed backward.

No wonder attack could block this process, and even the divine art ritual to stabilize time could not interfere with this. And when the dragon beast rose back to the night sky and its injuries were stabilized again, a woman's figure appeared on the top of the dragon beast's head.

The thirteenth-tier life ring floated behind the "Clockmaker" Malwa Wyman, and the "Time" spirit rune that was shining was the truth of this time reversal.

"Clockmaker, you have already lost the Time War, do you still want to rely on evil and betray humanity now?"

The "Blade of the Firmament" in the night sky maintained the divine art and asked loudly, so the woman with metal pointers tied to her braids raised her right hand high. Dark clouds covered the moon and stars, and the night sky was dim, so people could more clearly see the dense leaf patterns appearing on the back of her hand. ===== CHAPTER 2889 =====
