Chapter 100: Attack the city, attack the city! (Two chapters in one)
[This chapter has been modified]
“Woo——”
Dark clouds gathered in the city and loud horns resounded through the city walls. When the urgent sounds mixed with the roars of monsters, everyone on the city walls became nervous.
"They're trying to climb the wall! Powder barrels, throw the powder barrels!"
The undead army swarmed towards the city wall like crazy ants, quickly piling up piles of bones, and the guards guarding the city hurriedly threw barrels of explosives down.
Only continuous explosions were heard, dirt and bone fragments flew everywhere, and the stairs built by the undead were destroyed in an instant.
However, before the guards could cheer, more monsters came like a tide, forcing them to throw more explosives.
"Their combat quality is too low," the mercenaries looked at the guards with disdain.
Even though there were only about fifty people left, the magicians of the Light Eagle Group had already been chanting magic.
In this kind of melee, large-scale magic is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon.
A blue light flashed, and a magic barrier covering this section of the city wall rose up, firmly blocking the undead outside the city wall.
The magicians chanted together for a long time and finally used the king-level magic [Meteor Shower]!
Far away from the city walls, several lava whirlpools suddenly appeared in the sky. Each drop of lava was as big as a human head and poured down like a rainstorm, madly reaping the lives of the monsters.
The purpose of doing this is to cut off the tide of monsters so that they can concentrate on clearing out the undead. If there is a priest here, the cleaning efficiency can be greatly improved. Unfortunately, the support from the Church of Holy Light has not arrived yet.
So the magicians worked together again to release an amplified version of [Quicksand] under the city wall, sending the stacked skeleton monsters into the ground, with remarkable effects.
The magicians who came to support temporarily also cast colorful magic, with only one goal - to prevent the monsters from climbing the city.
Compared to the guards of Bed City, the mercenaries were actually more experienced in defending the city, and each unit had a clear division of labor.
But in the end, there were monsters that were not afraid of lava and rushed through the rain of fire, such as the flying dragon Yakir.
"Watch out for the flying dragon!"
Having just released the king-level magic, the magicians forced themselves to hold up the magic barrier before they could recover, just to resist the dragon flames.
"roar--"
The flying dragon Yakir roared and rushed towards the city wall, intending to be a master of desktop cleaning.
At this moment, a small figure jumped high up, and used a fighting skill that was extremely similar to the Lion Slash without any instruction. The giant sword smashed heavily on Yakir's head with unparalleled power!
Both of them smashed into the tide of monsters below the city wall at the same time, knocking down a bone staircase.
A man and a dragon started fighting each other surrounded by monsters.
As expected, she is the brave Elsa. She is so brave.
Her fighting figure immediately inspired the soldiers defending the city. Everyone seemed to be full of strength and fought even harder.
At this moment, along with the loud shout of "Fight against heresy!", a soft and holy light suddenly descended, and the injuries of everyone bathed in the holy light recovered rapidly.
But it’s different for the undead. Holy light is extremely poisonous to them. If they are contaminated by just a little bit of it, they will melt like vampires in the sun!
"Look, it's the Church of Holy Light. They're here to support us!" The defenders cheered.
Albud was fully armed, and behind him were nearly twenty Holy Light Knights. Their white armor made them look like angels descending from the earth, bringing the warmth of the gods wherever they went.
Behind the Holy Light Knights were hundreds of lower-level knight squires, as well as many nuns and priests. As soon as they arrived, they quickly went over to treat the wounded.
Following the Holy Light Church are groups of adventurers. At this moment, almost all the adventurers in the entire Bed City have gathered here, fighting for the same goal!
"Everyone, it's time to fight!" Leon raised his sword high, his golden hair shining like the sun.
The light of hope in the mercenaries' eyes shone brighter and brighter. With the help of so many people, why would they worry about not being able to defend the city walls?
The noise was heard again, more reinforcements were coming, who could it be? The mercenaries looked over with hope.
They are the guards of the Bede family.
Tsk.
The mercenary curled his lips, extremely disappointed.
Simon and Gelka exchanged a glance, and the former shouted to Albud, who seemed to be the leader: "Praise the God of Holy Light, thank you for the arrival of the Holy Light Knights, please help to resist the monsters!"
Gelka also shouted to the adventurers: "Dear adventurers, please help us, we civilians request assistance!"
He even has the nerve to call himself a commoner.
Having heard about what the Light Eagles had done among the adventurers, Leon ignored them and led the adventurers to the top of the city wall to join the team in defending against the enemy.
The priests of the Church of Holy Light sang hymns in unison, and scorching light descended from the sky, melting all the enemies in front of them.
The undead's offensive was instantly disintegrated. Once these skeleton monsters that could form a staircase were eliminated, the defense of the city would be secure!
It’s settled!
Just when people were thinking this, something strange happened.
"Why are they all gray?"
Everyone stopped what they were doing, not because they didn't want to defend the city, but because there was no need to. If even the enemy disappeared, why should they still fight?
The monsters all over the mountains were gradually disappearing, their bodies turned into ashes with the breeze. In just a blink of an eye, the monster tide disappeared.
Elsa was fighting with the flying dragon Aqir just now, but suddenly her opponent disappeared and she looked at a loss.
"W-what's going on?"
The defenders looked at each other, confused as to what was going on.
Some people who have some knowledge pretended to explain: "It's time to go on a rampage! I have learned about this period of history. There is a time limit for going on a rampage in the dungeon!"
Someone asked him: "Are we safe?"
"Yes, we are safe!"
The victory came too suddenly and it took everyone a while to recover.
"Ah?" Malu blinked. "No, it's over? I haven't done anything yet."
"It's finally over," Golka breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm going to have a big drink today and I won't stop until I'm drunk!"
Only Leon kept frowning and staring at the flying ashes on the battlefield.
The ashes that the monsters turned into did not disappear, but floated on the battlefield. Even the sky looked gray and filled with a depressing atmosphere.
The dark clouds brought by the monster tide still exist, and at this moment they are even getting heavier, just like -
The calm before the storm.
"Something's wrong, everyone get ready, the battle isn't over yet!"
“Ouch!!!”
As soon as Leon finished speaking, a roar unlike any other dragon's before resounded across the field.
As the roar sounded, a storm descended upon the land.
Tornadoes, large and small tornadoes suddenly blew up across the fields. Not only that, thick clouds and fog appeared on the ground at some point, as if the sky had fallen there.
“Dongdong.”
The familiar bell rang, which represented both the opening and closing of the dungeon, but when the adventurers heard it at this moment, they all had a weird feeling in their hearts.
It was as if some great being was about to be called by the bell!
Strong winds raged across the land, and the ashes of the monsters were attracted by the tornado, dancing wildly in the center with the clouds!
And these ashes are slowly turning into something!
The hurricane caused flying sand and rocks to fly everywhere, making it impossible for the people on the city wall to open their eyes. They could only try their best to see.
They eventually saw it.
"Bang--"
A huge claw stepped out of the storm, followed by another huge claw, and then a body covered with dark feathers.
It was a dragon, but instead of dragon scales, it had more bird-like feathers on its body.
Such a weird appearance can only be seen on some hybrids, but the power it exudes is the unparalleled spirit that only a pure dragon can possess. All of this strongly reminds people that this will be a terrifying enemy!
“Ouch!”
The giant dragon raised its head and roared. A storm swept across the plain with it as the center. The sky and the earth changed color. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. The indestructible city walls were struck by lightning and collapsed instantly.
【Storm King/Storm Dragon】
【Comprehensive combat power: B】
It is the mount of the Nameless King in Dark Souls III and also his comrade-in-arms.
Somehow, it was able to be separated from the Nameless King and summoned alone.
Everyone present was terrified. This was the instinctive fear that came when facing a superior species.
No one can even think of competing with the Storm Dragon before them!
Stellan's eyes were fixed on the Storm Dragon. No, she was not looking at the Storm Dragon, but at -
"There's a person on that dragon!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Is there anyone? Who is qualified to ride on such a powerful and majestic creature? If there is anyone, it can only be a god!
“That, that is.”
Drew's eyes suddenly widened, because he had seen the person on the storm dragon in the story of "The Oath of Stone".
It was not the eldest son of the sun with white hair and a spear in hand, nor was it the knight in golden lion armor.
Standing on the Storm Dragon is the majestic armor worn by ancient dragon hunters!
【Dragon Hunter Armor】
【Comprehensive combat power: B】
Drew's brain was almost filled with shock.
Dragon Hunter, why would you stand with the dragon?
Why would they fight side by side when they are obviously mortal enemies?
Not only Drew, but even Stellan was dumbfounded. She could feel the breath of the Eldest Son of the Sun from the dragon hunting armor, so she was even more confused.
“Woo——”
The people on the city blew the horn. The usually loud horn sounded extremely hoarse at this moment, like the last struggle of a dying person.
"Attack, attack!" Simon made the decision as quickly as possible. They must launch the attack while the opponent is still not able to form!
Otherwise, based on the momentum displayed by the other party, once it is fully formed, they will be the ones who will be killed without a burial place!
In fact, he didn't need to give any orders, the magicians of the Light Eagle Group were already chanting spontaneously. This was a self-protection mechanism when facing a strong enemy.
A royal-level magic that requires no less than ten high-level magicians to chant together to use, [Arrow of Death]!
Giant scarlet arrows shot out under the magician's full force. This was magic created by magicians to imitate the power of the god of death. Any enemy harmed by the power of death, even if only scratched a little, would be dragged into hell by the claws of the god of death!
With just this one strike, the Dragon Hunting Armor and the Storm Dragon were sent to hell!
The arrow pierced through layers of storms, through the clouds rolling on the ground, through the ashes swirling in the air, and in a flash it had arrived in front of the dragon hunting armor!
And how should he deal with the dragon hunting armor which is not yet complete?
He held the dragon hunting axe in both hands and raised the extremely heavy weapon high.
“Boom—”
Lightning suddenly fell from the sky, and the axe was immediately surrounded by the invincible power of lightning. It swung down towards the arrow of death -
Thunder, endless thunder.
The clouds on the ground evaporated in an instant, followed by the earth shattering, and even the fields felt the violent shaking!
Anyone who looks directly at a lightning strike will become dizzy and dazzled by the flash and will be unable to recover their vision for a long time.
"Heal, quickly, heal my eyes!"
There was not even the aftermath of the battle, but the city walls were already in chaos.
When people finally regained their sight, they saw a despairing scene.
The storm dragon moved its body and slowly walked towards the city wall.
The dragon-hunting armor stood on it, its majestic body standing proudly, like an invincible demon.
The king-level arrow of death has no effect on him!
"Boom, boom!"
Every step the Storm Dragon takes steps on people's hearts, and those who cannot bear the pressure may even faint.
"This, this, this, how can we fight this?" Gelka's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't hear it clearly.
How could anyone possibly think of fighting such a terrifying enemy?
Leon's hand was shaking as he held the sword. He had thought that after returning from his studies, he would be able to avenge his previous defeat, or at least be more relaxed when exploring the Thane dungeon.
However, the combination before him made him unable to think of disobeying.
Is this the true strength of Sean? If the final boss was not the Crucible Knight but this armor, who would be able to clear the level?
He suddenly felt that the fact that he and his companions had been able to pass the customs smoothly before might have been due to God's blessing.
"No, he can't be allowed into the city!"
Even though he was under pressure, Leon reacted quickly.
If the storm dragon enters the city, Bed City will definitely be destroyed!
He raised his sword bitterly, pointed it at the Storm Dragon, and said, "I'm going to stop it!"
However, the next second, he was slapped on the back of the head by Tel and fainted due to being caught off guard.
"Hurry up and run away with the boss, meow!"
"This stubborn guy, why is he still trying to show off his abilities at this point!" Drew kicked Leon's butt in frustration.
It's good to be responsible, but you can't fight a battle you have no chance of winning!
An enemy of that level could only be dealt with by a legendary hero.
A small figure broke through the thick fog, Elsa raised the giant sword high, and burst out with the strongest power in her life.
"It's her!" Someone recognized Elsa. They still remembered the heroic figure of the girl fighting the dragon.
If it's her, maybe.
The dragon hunter armor raised the great shield, and the great sword and shield collided violently, and the loud noise of the explosion resounded throughout the world.
Elsa gritted her teeth, but the dragon hunting armor stood still. The storm dragon under him staggered for a moment due to the huge force, and then let out an angry roar.
Endless storms swept around it. Elsa gave up the confrontation and wanted to find a place to stay, but she underestimated the power of the storm.
Before she even landed, she was swept into the storm and disappeared without a trace.
“.”
There was a deathly silence on the city walls, and people's hopes had not yet been extinguished.
"Fight against heretics?" A Holy Light Knight looked at Albud, who turned his head away.
What a joke! I will never fight against such a powerful heretic!
Without anyone standing in the way, the storm drew closer.
The desperate people began to flee in all directions, but in the end there were some people who were brave enough to use all means and attack the Storm Dragon with colorful magic, but they were dispersed by the lightning and storm before they could get close to him.
They can't fight at all, this is not something they should be dealing with at their level!
Under the desperate eyes of the people, the Dragon Hunting Armor and the Storm Dragon came to the front of the city wall.
The solid city walls, the buildings that humans depend on for survival, are now like chickens and dogs in front of the powerful creatures.
The Dragon Hunter Armor raised his axe again, and everyone knew what he was going to do next.
“Boom boom boom—”
The city wall collapsed completely.
Adventurer's Guild, Cid raised his head and looked towards the center of the storm.
"Should we fight? Maybe both sides will suffer losses."
An indescribable aura slowly rose from him, this was the pinnacle that humans could reach, however.
A layer of restriction suddenly appeared, preventing him from ever reaching his strongest strength.
"I can only bite the bullet and do it,"
He shook his head, but when he looked at the storm again, he was stunned.
Then, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself:
"Oh, what a spectacle! It's rare to see such a magical scene."
The aura on his body completely dissipated. He picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip. He said to his shivering assistant Gina:
"Don't worry, the only people who will die today are those who deserve to die."
Sid, he guessed right.
When the city wall collapsed completely and the storm dragon walked into the city, people's hearts were filled with despair, but they discovered something strange.
These two extremely powerful creatures walked straight towards the inner city wall without even looking at them, as if ants were not worthy of being noticed.
"He won't kill us?" An adventurer raised his head in surprise.
“Boom—”
With a muffled sound, the Light Eagle mercenaries beside him were electrocuted into charcoal.
Thunder continued to fall, however.
The only dead were the mercenaries and the guards of the Bed family.
