Chapter 275 Level Surpassing Magical Beas (1/2)
The sky was getting darker and the entrance to the underground city was getting narrower. In order to get rid of the Dark Dragons blocking the entrance, the various large factions could no longer hold back, everyone attacking with all their might.
”God said that saving lost souls is the responsibility that we are born with!”
In order to enter the underground city as soon as possible, the white-robed Cardinal Bishop who had been closing his eyes in rest all this while finally took action, speaking as he infused his Magical Power into his staff, beginning to murmur softly. Soon, flecks of Holy Light appeared in the sky before turning into sharp Holy Light Arrows, raining down on the Dark Dragons blocking the way.
Unlike the Holy Light Arrows cast by the average Spellcaster from the Church, the rain of Holy Light Arrows cast by the white-robed Cardinal Bishop was dense, with a small ball of white flame dancing at their tips. The white flames released a faint wave of energy ripples. Even though the flames did not seem to be too special or powerful on the surface, they gave Yang Ling a sense of danger.
There were too many Holy Light Arrows, a concentrated rain of them falling onto the dragons. The Dark Dragons had no time to evade the attack. The injured Dark Dragons were hit all over their bodies.
The defensive capabilities of the Dark Dragons were alarming. They had no problems taking ten of the Holy Light Arrows cast by an ordinary Spellcaster from the Church head-on. However, the Holy Light Arrows of the white-robed Cardinal Bishop that came with the white flames were different. The dragons felt an intense pain when they were hit. It was an unprecedented sense of pain, penetrating deep into their bones and straight to their souls. It was as if terrifying Bloodthirsty Ants were crawling all over their bodies, or like they were being roasted on a spit over a blazing flame.
Roar…
After a few pathetic cries, a few of the already heavily injured Dark Dragons that were hoping to return to the Dark Dragon Cliff fell to the ground halfway through their journey, unable to fly again no matter how hard they flapped their wings.
Without waiting for the rest of the Dark Dragons to save the fallen dragons, a warrior in a gold cloak from the Bellimore family leapt forward, slicing off the heads of a few Dark Dragons with just a few strokes. Their movements were fluid and clean, so fast that even Yang Ling had trouble following them.
”Could that be the ability of a sage-level warrior?”
Yang Ling's heart shook when he saw the warrior in the gold cloak, not daring to act recklessly. Originally, he had wanted to seize the opportunity to tame the injured Dark Dragons, but he did not expect the warrior from the Bellimore family to be so fast. His speed was no different from the teleportation spells of the Spellcasters.
”Retreat, retreat quickly!” Seeing the Dark Dragons getting killed, Yang Ling knew that the rest of the Dark Dragons would not take this lying down, instructing his group to quickly retreat.
His motive for this journey was to obtain the resources in the underground city as well as look for opportunities to tame the Magical Beasts in the underground city. It was best if he had a bountiful harvest, but he did not want to incur a huge loss even if he was unable to enter the underground city. There was no need for him to risk his life and fight the Dark Dragons alongside the other factions!
Indeed, Yang Ling had just led his army back to their original position when a Dark Dragon charged toward them, fast as lightning.
”Hehe, asking for death!”
Seeing the Dark Dragon charge into the restrictions, Yang Ling let out a cold laugh and began silently reciting the Wizard Mantra, his hand gestures changing continuously, instantly activating the Gravity Restriction and the Illusory Formation. In that instant, the Dark Dragon felt as though a great pressure was pressing down on its body, its speed decreasing drastically. It flew around like a headless fly within the Illusory Formation, unable to find its bearings for the longest time.
Roar…
After unintentionally charging into the traps Yang Ling had set, the Dark Dragon bellowed as it looked at the vast desert. At that point in time, it could not understand what was going on, not knowing how it suddenly arrived at this vast desert.
There was nothing else but the desert!
After flying with all its might for a long distance, the unlucky Dark Dragon realized that there was no end to the desert. It looked for an escape from this place, but all there was around it was sand. It could not find the underground city, nor the Dark Dragon Cliff that it had lived on for hundreds of years.
Even worse, it realized that its body was getting heavier and heavier, its speed slowing!
Originally, it was able to traverse a great distance simply by flapping its wings. Now, its speed in the air was not much greater than if it was running on the ground. It was as if it had run out of energy, or was carrying a heavy mountain on its back.
As a high-level Magical Beast, the Dark Dragon who had barged into the restrictions could feel an unprecedented sense of danger as it looked at the weird, borderless desert, even if it did not know what was going on. It roared for assistance without hesitation. Unexpectedly, there was no response from its partners, only the echoes of its own roar, as if it had accidentally arrived at an unknown plane.
”What a pity. It would be even more marvelous if I layered on a Killing Formation!”
Yang Ling shook his head in regret as he looked at the Dark Dragon that was lost within the Illusory Formation. After having cultivated his abilities to the level of Divine Wizard, he could now add a Killing Formation on the foundations of an Illusory Formation to greatly increase the amount of damage the Illusory Formation could dish out. That way, he might have been able to kill the Dark Dragon that had barged into the restrictions in an instant.
The Killing Formation had immense power, but it unfortunately required a large amount of Wizard Power and mental energy!
There were dangers all around the underground city. Preserving his abilities in such an environment was the most optimal choice. Exhausting a large amount of Wizard Power and mental energy here was akin to suicide.
”Hmph, ten times the gravity!”
Not having the Killing Formation did not mean that Yang Ling could not do anything else to the Dark Dragon trapped in the restriction. Yang Ling let out a low grunt and increased the intensity of the Gravity Restriction. In that instant, the Dark Dragon trapped within the Illusory Formation crashed to the ground. It had difficulty even walking, much less flying.
According to the explanation on the stele, the Gravity Restriction was the formation that was most commonly used by Wizards and had one of the greatest powers. As long as he had sufficient Wizard Power and mental energy, he could exponentially increase the intensity of the restriction, making its power unparalleled.
