Chapter 627 - Song of Heart (1/2)
A shapes.h.i.+fted wyrm was only similar to a true one in terms of appearance. Its dragon’s breath brought about by the dragon blood was also good for defense and withstanding magic attacks, thus allowing it to perform perfectly. It was even said the Druids that shapes.h.i.+fted into wyrms could use the powerful dragon language magic just like true wyrms.
Shapes.h.i.+fting into wyrms wasn’t the peak of the Wild Druids’ power. It was said that after reaching level-22, Wild Druids could still shapes.h.i.+ft into every kind of powerful prehistoric magical beasts in a short period of time. Those beasts were formidable creatures that shared this continent with ancient wyrms and the t.i.tans during prehistoric times.
Even Lin Li wondered what the Wild Druids could shapes.h.i.+ft into after reaching Sanctuary-realm. Could it be ancient wyrms?
Whenever the Druid occupation was mentioned, people usually thought of shapes.h.i.+fting into bears or wolves as if turning themselves into animals was the Druids’ only ability. Before talking to the two high-level elves, Lin Li had thought so too. Actually, there was nothing wrong with such a way of thinking, since shapes.h.i.+fting wasn’t a unique skill only Wild Druids possessed.
Other than Wild Druids, Druids comprised two other branches. One of them was similar to the ones people knew—the Nature Druids that made up the majority of the Druid population. The Druids known as nature mages by people originated from among Nature Druids as they were best at nature magic beside shapes.h.i.+fting into beasts.
The powers of the Nature Druids came from the sky, sun, moon, and stars. They didn’t need to acc.u.mulate magic via meditation. They didn’t even need to study in order to master nature magic that wasn’t at all inferior to elemental magic. As Nature Druids didn’t require many resources from any aspect but also possessed outstanding abilities, they made up the majority of the Druids.
Wild Druids were the strongest warriors, while Nature Druids were the most common nature mages. There was still an essential group of Druids in the elven race—the Life Druids. Their powers came from the land and streams, mountains and seas… everything that bred life. Their ability was healing others using their own powers.
The role that Life Druids played in the elven race was similar to that of the priests. It was said that the powerful Life Druids even possessed the heaven-defying ability of resurrecting the dead. In the elven race, the most well-known Life Druid was the current elven queen. Her power was likely similar to that of her husband, the wise Garrincha.
While dealing with the attacking green dragons, Lin Li occasionally turned to observe the elves. Chief Elder Randy shapes.h.i.+fted into a silver wyrm with astonis.h.i.+ng abilities. Facing the attack of seven full-grown green dragons, the silver wyrm still calmly handled it without putting himself in a difficult position. His fighting prowess made a leap in quality after shapes.h.i.+fting.
However, these seven full-grown green dragons still owned Legendary-level power, after all. If it was a one-on-one battle with the silver wyrm, a green dragon probably wouldn’t win. But with seven attacking together, the silver wyrm that Chief Elder Randy shapes.h.i.+fted into alone wasn’t enough to compete with them.
However, the Legendary powerhouse Chief Elder Randy wasn’t the only one on the elves’ side. Culofen and Gildor, the two high-ranking elves Lin Li had talked to before, also displayed their true abilities. What surprised Lin Li the most was Culofen, who’d been the first to visit him. He was surprisingly a mage who specialized in fire magic. No wonder he would exchange ideas with Lin Li about Legendary-level magic.
Lin Li recalled the time during the auction at the time consignment store, when the debris of the stars’ Rebirth had raised speculation among the ma.s.s. Part of it was about an elven mage who specialized in fire magic. Lin Li wondered if this elf mage was related to Culofen.
The current Culofen had shown the power of at least level-21. Flame Domain was fully launched, shrouding the entire battlefield. The uneven ground that was corroded by the green dragons’ dragon’s breath turned into boiling lava. Flocks of fire birds formed with lava flew out and swarmed the green dragons.
Fire magic was famous for its attacking power in the first place, not to mention that Culofen was a Legendary-mage who specialized in fire magic. Even the green dragons that possessed extraordinary resistance to magic attacks couldn’t withstand a single blow from Culofen’s fire magic. Inside the Flame Domain, Culofen used fire magic to attack the green dragons repeatedly. He was always able to provide the silver wyrm with the right amount of help.
Of course, Legendary-mage Culofen wasn’t the only one wholeheartedly aiding the silver wyrm that Chief Elder Randy had shapes.h.i.+fted into. The other high-ranking elf, Gildor, also showed an impressive performance. Gildor was an archer in the elven race. The Seven Star Archery Skill which injured Norfeller that Jacques was so proud of was at Gildor’s fingertips. With the sound of the bow and arrow, seven sharp arrows pierced towards the green dragons as fast as lightning.
