Chapter Ninety-Three: The Fall of the Royal City x The Calamity of the Undead.
"Soldiers, calm down!" Lord Beren roared, his voice echoing through the sky, causing ripples in the air.
"Ah." This shocked the devastated superhuman.
"We haven't lost yet, we still have a chance."
"Hold on, and we will surely receive reinforcements."
"We must not lose our composure."
"Moreover, if we lose our composure, we won't be able to save our lives. This evil dragon is here to kill people and vent its anger."
"His only goal has always been to torture us and make us die."
Lord Beren encouraged everyone while simultaneously threatening them, forcing them to persevere.
To be honest, the Soviet Union was capable of sowing discord. It could deceive humanity, claiming it wouldn't exterminate everyone, thus creating a sense of wishful thinking.
But he didn't want to do that when faced with these vulnerable people.
"Next, I will make you despair."
The Soviet opened his mouth with a cold smile.
Innate Bloodline Skill: [Dissolve All Things - Dragon Breath]
The Soviet opened its mouth and spewed out a beam of light that looked like a long river of black sulfuric acid.
"call out"
"Bang"
"Click".
The dragon's breath struck the protective shield of Polan City.
This dragon's breath truly lived up to its reputation of dissolving all things; the moment it came into contact with the protective shield, the shield dissolved rapidly, just like ice touching magma.
A single point of damage can severely impact the entire protective shield.
Immediately afterwards, the entire protective shield collapsed.
The dragon's breath was unstoppable, and it crashed onto the city wall.
There was no big explosion, just a strange sound of everything dissolving.
In the blink of an eye, the entire city wall, along with the land and houses behind it, was melted away, turning into a pool of acidic water. This acidic water continued to spread, slowly eroding the ground and causing damage to an even wider area.
"Liar, liar, we can't beat them, and neither can the kingdom." The human superhuman's mentality collapsed again.
This time, Lord Beren smiled bitterly and did not try to appease everyone.
"Run! Every life we can save is a life we can save." Lord Beren took one last deep look at Bolan City, then rushed out without looking back.
Combat Skill: [Life Boiling]
During this process, his flesh and blood seemed to be burning. In just three seconds, his body became emaciated, and his hair turned completely white.
He seemed to have gone from his prime to his twilight years.
But this also brought him temporary power.
With a thunderous roar, the speed of Lord Boren City increased dramatically. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of Bolan City and arrived outside the city.
"Little insect, do you think you can escape my grasp?" the Soviet sneered, his dragon wings suddenly accelerating.
With a "whoosh," he transformed into a streak of black light and shot away.
In just three seconds, Lord Beren felt a colossal creature appear behind him.
He turned around and realized that the Soviet Union was right there.
Here, he could clearly see the black dragon scales on the Soviet's face, and the Soviet's nonchalant, contemptuous smile.
"Dragon, die!" Lord Beren cried out in despair. He knew he couldn't escape. Since that was the case, he would fight to the death; that way, he might at least die with dignity and honor.
The Soviet, unconcerned, stretched out its dragon claw and grabbed the Lord of Buren.
The Soviets moved too fast; Lord Buren had no time to react.
"Crack!" Although Lord Beren was very thin, it still exploded, making a loud noise.
"In this state, even a master chef cannot become more delicious."
The Soviet was somewhat disgusted, and he turned back to Polan.
Innate Bloodline Skill: Black Corrosion Storm
The Soviets forcefully spread the dragon's wings, unleashing a dense storm.
With a deafening roar, the earth was torn apart by the storm, and the many humans in the city were as if they had been thrown into a blender, torn to pieces.
The scene was absolutely explosive.
The Soviets truly deserve the title of evil dragon.
...
The capital city of the Kingdom of Philar.
Not long ago, Luvika and Sofia suddenly appeared in the sky above the city, overlooking the entire royal city.
The royal city appears vast and prosperous, unmatched by any other city. The number of people living within it is no less than four million.
The number of superhumans inside is also much greater than in other places.
"Roar!" Sophia roared with delight, unleashing all her dragon might.
"Beep beep beep," the entire royal city seemed to be stimulated, and a large amount of magical runes shimmered on the city walls. Three seconds later, a huge protective shield formed, isolating the two green dragons from the outside.
"Evil dragon, you actually came here?" Several extraordinary masters jumped out from inside the city, looking at the giant dragon above them with solemn expressions.
...
"The evil dragon has arrived, and the royal city has actually become a battlefield?"
"We won't die, will we? This dragon looks so big and scary."
"Humans are supreme. Even a mighty dragon cannot easily destroy a royal city with a population of several million."
"Trust in His Majesty, trust in the gods, these two arrogant dragons will surely become the glory of our Philar Kingdom."
The many ordinary people in the city were being treated very badly.
There was obvious unrest in the capital.
Fortunately, although King Philal VII sent troops to the border, the royal city, as the capital of the country, certainly wouldn't also withdraw its troops.
There are enough soldiers. Maintain order.
Therefore, it is impossible for the capital to collapse and cause riots if there is no obvious damage to it.
"Humans, if you dare to oppose me, you must be prepared to die. Now, I will personally reap your lives," Sophia said in a low voice, her eyes radiating a cold light that instilled despair in humans.
"Don't think that this turtle shell can protect you."
Sophia landed slightly, landing on top of the city's protective shield.
She stomped her feet hard.
With a "bang," the protective shield trembled violently, and a large dent was clearly visible.
"Evil dragon Sophia, don't underestimate humans. This place, as the capital of the Kingdom of Philar, possesses the main force of the entire nation. Even if you are a legend, you can't break through it easily." King Philar VII flew out from the royal palace at the very center of the capital.
Sofia didn't respond; she just kept stomping her feet.
Each of her strikes could actually shatter a mountain.
But now that it's landed on the protective shield, it's not very useful at all.
...
Underground in the royal city.
Numerous extraordinary soldiers pushed carts full of magic crystals to a place resembling a furnace and poured the magic crystals into it.
The magic power contained in the magic crystal was absorbed by the furnace and then transferred to the protective shield.
"Hurry, hurry! The attacks outside are too great. The city's defensive array needs more energy, otherwise it will definitely be destroyed. We absolutely cannot hold them back. Whether our Kingdom of Philar can survive depends on whether we have enough magic crystals and whether we are fast enough." Beside the furnace, there were two male mages, one old and one young.
The old magician was roaring with red eyes.
Young mage: "Magic crystals are finite. Even if we don't conserve them, we won't last long."
The old mage said, "Idiot, all we need to do is buy time. Soon, the powerful figures from the border will return. Even the Knights of Justice from the Church of Light will come. After all, our Kingdom of Philar has a good relationship with the Church of Light and strongly supports its missionary work."
...
Seeing that Sofia couldn't break through the royal city's protective shield, Luvika also landed and joined the attack.
"Bang bang bang," the protective shield trembled even more violently.
Upon closer inspection, one can see countless tiny cracks.
However, the subsequent arrival of magical elements instantly repaired the crack.
However, this increased the burden on the royal city.
"Your Majesty, the city's defensive formation simply cannot hold out for long."
A black-robed mage, his face covered in sweat, said.
"Your Majesty, many cities within the kingdom are under attack by monsters, and many city lords are requesting reinforcements."
Bad news kept coming in.
Immediately afterward, a communications officer also flew out.
"Your Majesty, the evil dragons are not just the two in front of us. According to our long-range reconnaissance, we have also discovered three or four more evil dragons, all of which are legendary."
"There are quite a few other monster masters as well."
"This is bad, we can't beat them at all."
...
Philaral VII's expression slowly changed from anger and unease to fear.
"Could it be that my kingdom of Philar is truly going to perish with my generation? Wouldn't I then become the last king, the most disgraceful king?" Philar VII could already imagine his future and how future generations would judge him.
"Go quickly to the Light Branch and urge them on, and also urge the neighboring kingdoms and empires, otherwise the Kingdom of Philar will be destroyed. And, one Kingdom of Philar is clearly not enough to feed so many monsters, they will inevitably expand and threaten others." Philar VII said through gritted teeth, "Please do everything you can to request support, we absolutely cannot lose."
"Yes, sir." The superhuman beside him bowed and nodded.
...
"Lucica, this is too slow. Let's go all out. Even if it consumes more magic power, it doesn't matter." Sophia was an impatient mother dragon, and this monotonous attack shield quickly made her impatient.
Luvika hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
"O magical elements that roam between heaven and earth, heed my call..."
Luvika chanted with a serious expression.
Spatial Magic: Spatial Fission
With a series of cracking sounds, the surrounding space shattered like a mirror, and the shattering rapidly spread towards the royal city's protective shield.
Sophia, using her innate bloodline skill [Emerald Dragon Breath], opened her mouth and spewed out a river of green light.
The royal city's protective shield held out for two seconds before completely collapsing.
"Retreat!" Philar VII roared desperately, without a second thought.
The masters in the vicinity reacted the fastest; they ran away without Philar VII's reminder.
In the next instant, the shattered spatial torrent and green dragon breath descended from the sky and crashed onto the ground inside the royal city.
With a loud "boom," a violent explosion occurred.
It was as if the boundless energy aftershocks had formed a level 100 storm, spreading in all directions.
Houses and living things were reduced to dust by the storm.
The entire massive royal city trembled violently from the explosion.
The explosion subsided after about ten seconds.
However, a huge crater with a diameter of over 10,000 meters appeared on the spot.
While the crater remains largely intact on all sides, tens of thousands of meters of houses and other structures have collapsed.
All of this, the Big Bang covered an area with a diameter of over 40,000 meters.
"Is this the end of the world?" A human standing some distance away stared in disbelief.
"Run! The capital has fallen!"
"The evil dragon is coming! The evil dragon is going to eat people!"
"Your Majesty, we have paid so much tax, yet you still can't protect us. You are utterly useless."
However, shortly afterward, the citizens rioted.
With a "crash," Philadelphus VII emerged from a pile of collapsed buildings amidst the distant ruins. He looked disheveled, covered in blood, but without any fatal wounds.
"It's all over." Philar VII looked around in despair.
He also saw a giant green dragon falling from the sky.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Luvica and Sofia roared with unbridled joy, their voices transforming into a storm that swept wildly in all directions.
"Ouch, it hurts! I'm going deaf!" Many mortals in the royal city were bleeding from all seven orifices from the sound waves, suffering unbearable pain.
Large numbers of weak superhumans and ordinary people collapsed to the ground unconscious.
"Evil dragon, don't be so rampant. The gods are watching over this place." A holy white light appeared and spread across the earth, and many wounded people were recovering completely.
"Thank you, God of Light! Praise be to God of Light!" people prayed spontaneously.
At the same time, a middle-aged female priestess in white robes, full of tenderness and compassion, appeared not far from the green dragon.
"The lackeys of the God of Light." Sophia and Luvica felt disgusted, as if a human had accidentally stepped in dog poop.
"Evil dragon, cease your attack and depart," the priestess declared righteously.
"Die." Lu Weikalong didn't say much, and charged forward.
The magic [Protection of Light] caused white light to appear on the priestess, forming a pair of white wings that protected her.
Luvika threw a punch.
[Bang!] The priestess flew out like a ping-pong ball.
With his innate bloodline skill, Dragon Breath, Luwicka opened his mouth and unleashed a stream of green light.
This was another massive explosion.
The area in the direction the priestess flew off, with a diameter of one kilometer, vanished instantly, turning into a huge crater.
The priestess has vanished completely, presumably dead.
“You disgusting charlatans! The slick smell you all gave me almost made me throw up my food from ten years ago,” Luwicka said.
"Let's split up and loot all the wealth here. Then, let's utterly destroy this place. Let the lives of millions strengthen the power of our Green Dragons," Sophia said impatiently.
Without waiting for Luwicka to say anything, she turned and flew away.
"What an impatient person! But treasure hunting is really fun." Luwicka was also looking forward to the wealth he could gain here.
However, while these two dragons believed they were searching for wealth, to humans they were simply engaging in slaughter.
Wherever they went, large numbers of humans died.
The precious buildings in the royal city that the country folk envied were also rapidly collapsing.
The once luxurious, prosperous, and enormous royal city has become dilapidated and looks very unsightly.
At the same time, on the distant border of a kingdom.
From the perspective of the Kingdom of Philar, looking in the direction of the Sendi Mountains, you can see a huge gray cloud of mist surging in.
People with good eyesight can spot all sorts of skeletal monsters in the clouds from a great distance.
The clouds and mist covered an enormous area, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The areas it passed through seemed to have their vitality drained away, turning them into barren wastelands.
The clouds and mist, however, seemed to have received nourishment and were rapidly increasing in size.
"This seems to be the legendary calamity of the undead?"
The female master, Liz Ante, now clad in exquisite blue armor, stood atop a massive steel barrier, gazing at the ever-approaching gray clouds.
Liz Angie is the Grand General of the border, and she should have been the one to fight against monsters like Sophia.
Therefore, she is prepared to burn her own life to stop the legendary dragon.
However, she didn't expect that the evil dragon would run to the back to steal her home.
What she didn't expect was that a strange army of undead replaced Sophia and the other monsters to attack the defense line.
"Are these guys in league with the evil dragon Sophia?"
Aunt Liz was very distressed.
"Something terrible has happened, General Aunt Liz!" Suddenly, a young man ran up from behind.
“Chibun, I’m perfectly fine,” Aunt Liz said without turning her head.
The young man said breathlessly, "The royal city has been breached by the evil dragon, and the royal city has fallen."
Aunt Liz froze, unable to believe it: "How could it be so fast?"
She felt that the royal city was full of experts, and given that it was a defensive battle, it should be safer with the advantage of timing, location, and popular support.
“The dragon is exceptionally powerful, General. What should we do next?” Chibun was bewildered.
With the fall of the royal city, he felt the kingdom of Philar was nearing its end. Where would they go from here? And for whom would they fight?
“Resist the undead before us and prevent them from entering the country. The Kingdom of Philar is not yet destroyed, and I believe that aid from other kingdoms will arrive soon.” Aunt Lissan said resolutely, “The destruction of the capital city does not mean the destruction of the kingdom. The capital city can be rebuilt. But if all the people in the country are killed, that would be the true destruction of the nation and the extinction of the people.”
"Yes, sir." Chiben gave a firm salute.
"Ready, prepare to attack."
"In addition, be prepared to evacuate at any time."
"We must defend, but we cannot fight to the death."
Aunt Liz continued, her voice quickly spreading and enveloping the entire area.
At the same time, messengers were also rapidly transmitting orders to distant places.
Yes, the borders are vast, and there are all sorts of extraordinary armies guarding the area not far away and even further.
The clouds of death draw ever closer. The power of death is roaring wantonly.
The soldiers who stayed there felt a distinct sense of unease; they felt their souls being pulled into darkness, destined for eternal damnation.
Magic [Light]: In the army, although the majority are warriors and knights, there are also some mages, though mages are much rarer.
Warriors, if they train hard, will always have the potential to break through to the extraordinary.
However, becoming a magician requires special and essential talent, which blocks the advancement of most humans.
However, while magicians are rare, when all the magicians in a kingdom gather, their numbers can be quite large.
At this moment, with shouts from the mage troops, they cast a spell together.
A bright white light appeared and enveloped this world.
The deathly aura contained in the clouds and mist has been largely dispelled, making humans much more comfortable.
Magic [Fighting Spirit]
This is a magical support spell that boosts the morale and fighting spirit of comrades.
Magic: Guardian of the Earth
Magic: Blessing of the Gentle Breeze
Magic: Stop Bleeding
Magic: Stamina Restoration Spell
Magic [Sharp Attack]
Magic [Critical Hit]
...
The magician unit continuously stacked extraordinary traits on their comrades, causing their strength to multiply rapidly.
"Fire!" Just as the undead scourge was about to hit her face, Liz Ante ordered the supernatural artillery that was already prepared to fire.
"Boom!" With a deafening roar, hundreds of terrifyingly powerful laser beams were launched and landed on the horde of undead skeletons.
These magic cannons are incredibly powerful; each one is almost more destructive than a gold-level weapon.
In addition, their sheer number makes them even more terrifying, their group lethality absolutely comparable to that of a transcendent master.
In just one encounter, an area of several thousand square meters was bombed, turning the earth into huge craters.
The nearby undead skeletons were smashed to pieces, turning into a large amount of bone fragments that flew in all directions.
"Attack, continue." Aunt Liz did not stop.
From then on, humanity was like a Gatling gun in a rage, relentlessly unleashing its fury.
Cannons, bows and arrows, and supernatural devices resembling bombs erupted one after another.
The approaching undead skeletons were all destroyed, making it impossible for them to re-enter the crowd.
This place, after all, is where the kingdom's elite forces gather.
If they join forces, they could absolutely threaten a legend.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a deafening, terrifying roar echoed from the depths of the clouds.
Immediately afterward, a gigantic skeleton over twenty meters tall, carrying the aura of a master-level being, charged forward. Wherever he passed, skeletons fell and collapsed. Many were trampled to death.
"Humans, you cannot stop the attack of the Undead Overlord."
"Those who know what's good for them will accept death and become part of the natural disaster."
The skeletal giant roared.
"A master-level skeleton?" Liz Ante's expression turned serious.
"Activate the large magic cannon."
As this command was issued, some cannons in the distance, which were much larger but very few in number, suddenly generated strong magical fluctuations.
With a thunderous roar, a blue river of light, three or four meters in diameter, shot out, swiftly traversing space and arriving before the skeletal giant.
"Roar!" The skeletal giant opened its gaping maw and let out a deafening roar, clenching its fists in front of it.
With a "bang," the two collided in the next instant.
The skeletal giant's enormous body was sent flying. Upon closer inspection, one could see that his fists were shattered, and several of his ribs were broken.
"Undead High Lord, grant me eternity, you cannot kill me," the skeletal giant staggered to his feet and continued his charge.
In the combat skill [Raging Waves of Crimson Flames], Liss Ante suddenly leaped up, a flaming longsword appearing in her hand, and forcefully slashed forward.
During this process, the flaming longsword rapidly grew into a giant sword over fifty meters long, which cleaved into the skull giant's head.
With a "snap," as easily as a cutting machine slicing ice, the skull giant's head cracked open, and the soul fire stored inside was shattered.
