Chapter 569: Dragon Attack (2) (1/2)
When Truen and Donkey Sharo reached the frontline where the heat of the battle was, they could hardly remain on the ground. The tornado was fiercer than Truen thought it would be and Bob didn't seem to be acting any longer. The Eternal Dragon was howling and sending attacks to the attacking werebeasts.
The werebeasts were putting up a good resistance against the dragon's attack despite the terrible weather, and Truen wondered if Zero's no hurting policy was still effective. The plan to scare these werebeasts with overwhelming might was falling apart right before their eyes, and Truen felt his stomach drop. What was Zero going to do?
”Ready the archers! We're going to pierce its hide with reinforced magic! I don't believe we won't be able to take this young one down. Fire at will!”
The command came from the top of the wall and Zero cringed. Even with his protection and Bob's strength, this wasn't an attack easily thwarted.
”Master! What should I do? These werebeasts are no less powerful than the villagers in Half Moon Village!”
The magic reinforcements were all intermediate to high-tier enchantments. Even for a mighty dragon, it would be challenging to escape unharmed with so many enchanted projectiles.
Zero might be able to nullify the attack but not Bob unless he used his special time-freezing spell. However, everyone knew that the only dragon capable of this spell was the Eternal Dragon who guarded Endow Hill. Bob couldn't risk exposing his identity and Zero thought quickly.
”Retreat,” he told the dragon. ”After they launch their attack, evade as many as you can then level the city with a powerful attack and retreat I will improvise to take over from there. Find Truen once you make your escape and drink a high-level recovery potion from the inventory.”
Truen heard the plan and looked at Donkey Sharo. If Bob was going to level the city, they were not safe staying here. Before he left the soon-to-be destroyed area, Truen gave Zero one last glance. The doctor looked like he would be able to manage fine. The storm wasn't getting any less powerful, and the whirlpool was doing an excellent job of dragging rubble from the partially destroyed city to the bottom of the seabed.
Thousands of arrows whistled through the air, cutting through the force of the tornado and Bob inhaled deeply to blow them away with a mighty roar. Most of the arrows didn't reach their target and Zero heaved a small sigh of relief, manipulating the air currents to direct them into the sea. The werebeasts were terrifyingly powerful when they were united. He still couldn't understand how some lowly sea thugs were able to cause so much damage.
Bob thought he would be in more trouble, but the arrows didn't land on the mark, making the Eternal Dragon slightly baffled. These carnivores weren't weak. Each and every individual was well-trained in combat. While their marksmanship wasn't better than the elves, most enchanted arrows should still pierce through the tornado. What was going on?
”Fire! Fire! Fire! Don't let the beast come any closer!” King Gaon shouted and notched an arrow, imbuing it with a spell for speed. At the same time, another werebeast beside him enchanted his own arrow with fire.
Zero who was observing from afar didn't understand why these folks weren't dividing the task of enchanting arrows and firing arrows. This method of shooting was too slow, and nobody knew what to aim for. Some aimed at the head, others aimed for the belly and there was also one who aimed for the top of the tornado, hoping that the arrows would be sent dropping on top of Bob's head. The disorganised mess rendered the doctor speechless from his hiding spot.
