"Huff!"
The sudden barrage of artillery fire tore through the air, flashing past Xiao Han less than ten meters away, striking the dragon's wing and exploding violently!
"roar!"
The Chimera roared and reacted swiftly by unleashing a double dragon language spell, increasing its speed and causing its scales to shimmer with a layer of black light.
Guanghui trembled, and Ophina erected a magical defense to withstand the aftershocks of the artillery fire and protect the novice Demon King.
but……
The first shot seemed to trigger a chain reaction, or perhaps it was a test of aim. Xiao Han turned around and looked at Kosenburg.
Flames erupted on the castle, and though they were miles away, bursts of high-energy explosive shells, activated by the magic runes blessed by the mage, were precisely fired at the dragon in the void.
"The God-Slaying Weapon, the Demonic Weapon Cannon!"
Xiao Han exclaimed in astonishment. Although he had expected that the Glory Knights stationed there would be equipped with a few forbidden weapons, he had not expected that the Magic Cannon would be such a world-destroying weapon.
The continent of Midland possesses a pinnacle of sword and magic civilization, and incidentally, it has also developed a advanced technology tree, repeatedly pushing the limits of what a novice demon king can achieve in terms of technological prowess.
The costly magic cannons, for example, were developed by the Norse dwarves, circulated through the technology of wandering merchants, mined with rare materials at high efficiency, and were conquered and traded by humans. The research and development principles of the magic cannons were controlled by various empires and developed into high-end combat power. Under a round of fully charged cannon fire, they could flatten a hundred-meter-high mountain!
Xiao Han had personally witnessed the appearance of the magic cannon that Kosenburg had transferred from the capital while he was in prison.
A single artillery barrage wiped out more than half of the high-level monsters that had invaded the coast!
Among them, a commander-level monster with gold-tier combat power, a giant shark the size of a small mountain, was sniped by the magic cannon and instantly blasted into a bloody mist.
Yes, Evelyn gave him a bowl of shark fin soup containing rich life magic energy that night to nourish his body, which made Xiao Han very deep about this strange phenomenon.
Fortunately, the magic cannons are usually deployed in conjunction with the floating warships. The floating warships, which are mainly used to fight in the interdimensional battlefield, were transferred away a week ago. Otherwise, if the warships were to unleash their full power at a speed comparable to that of a dragon (a type of dragon with extremely fast speed), and bombarded by hundreds of magic cannons, even a Gold-rank warrior with extraordinary power could only stand eight hundred miles away, spitting and cursing.
"boom!"
The dazzling flames bloomed like a bursting flower, unleashing astonishing power. A small hill crumbled and collapsed under the sweeping shockwave.
Having narrowly escaped a fatal cannon shot, the chimera roared to the sky and unleashed frost magic, interspersed with what Xiao Han guessed were curses unique to the dragon race's homeland—a fitting description of a proud dragon.
"Despicable and cunning humans, always resorting to underhanded tricks, they deserve to die!"
Xiao Han put on an angry expression, pointed in the direction of the artillery fire, and started rant.
Suddenly, Xiao Han was met with the strange gazes of Ofina and Guanghui, especially the look of pity in the eyes of the cold and beautiful fallen angel, which made him fall silent.
Okay, I admit that being imprisoned for four years is a bit abnormal, please forgive me.
"Huff!"
The massive body of the chimera was surrounded by shimmering ice crystals, which condensed into an area of icy mist behind it, slowing down the speed of the artillery fire and allowing it to more effectively evade the attack.
"Ahem, as long as we avoid this round of shelling, we should be safe, right?"
Xiao Han pursed his lips, straightened his collar, and watched the cannon fire that was tearing through the air gradually weaken as his deep crimson eyes began to focus, giving him a general understanding of the range of the magic cannon.
Although the fallen angel and the paladin won the sacred duel ritual and had the privilege of the Norse gods, the paladin was not allowed to stop the fallen angel from taking away the Crimson Demon King. However, the Demon King is currently with the fallen angel. Therefore, the paladin Evelyn, who is stationed in Kosenburg, can take advantage of the loophole in the divine contract and bombard their riding vehicle—the chimera. At that time, it would be perfectly reasonable for the captured Demon King to fall.
As for the Demon King being accidentally killed by the blast, that's a real shame ╮(￣▽￣)╭
"Sizzle!"
The void was suddenly distorted, and an inexplicable magnetic field covered it. The chimera dragon, which was entering the center of the magnetic field, widened its eyes and its speed decreased significantly.
Like a high-speed tank suddenly ordered to reduce its speed, the excessive inertia almost threw Xiao Han and the others off.
"trap!"
Ofina opened her beautiful eyes wide, clearly not expecting the area covered by the Kossenburg defense line to be so vast.
The route the Chimera took to avoid artillery fire was actually a trap set by the enemy to lure them into.
In the next instant, a barrage of artillery fire erupted like a storm, raining down upon us!
Ophina channeled her remaining magical energy to activate a high-level magic scroll.
"Wind Barrier!"
In an instant, the magic scroll burst forth with astonishing brilliance, and a gale arose, forming a wind wall a hundred meters long and wide, which withstood the concentrated fire attack of the magic cannon.
"call out!"
A chained metal python suddenly attacked, its sharp spikes, imbued with [Armor-Piercing] magic patterns, easily tearing through the wind wall and piercing the chimera's wounded abdomen!
The dragon scales, which possess outstanding physical and magical defense, were utterly useless against this extremely sharp, specially crafted weapon. The sharp spear pierced through them and became lodged in the flesh.
Furthermore, the hidden barbs of the spike shot out and pierced into the taut dragon flesh, instantly causing secondary damage to the chimera after its defenses were breached. At the end of the iron chain, a chariot emerged from the forest, retracting the chain by rotating a wheel. The immense pain caused the chimera to roar hysterically, its dragon wings swaying erratically, almost causing it to crash.
"Clang!"
A sharp metallic clang rang out as Ophian's black-winged longsword severed the iron chains, her heterochromatic eyes filled with a chilling glint.
