Chapter 276: Level Surpassing Magical Beast

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

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.

An average person would have difficulty moving in doubled gravity, and at five times the gravity, they would have trouble even breathing, nevermind walking. At ten times the gravity, an average person would not even have the ability to move their fingers. If gravity increased to tens times that of normal, it would instantly turn a person into mush!

The Dark Dragon was undoubtedly incredibly powerful compared to an average person. However, no matter how powerful their physical abilities were, they would also find it hard to move under ten times the gravity. It panted, having no choice but to stop to catch its breath after walking a few steps forward.

The Gravity Restriction heavily restricted the movements of Yang Ling’s enemies, but it did not have an effect on his own forces!

After summoning his many Flying Dragons and Chimeras, Yang Ling instructed them to attack the Dark Dragon within the Illusory Formation in waves. No matter how powerful the Dark Dragon having difficulty moving was, no matter how strong the scales on its body were, it could not defend itself against the combined attack of the Magical Beast army from all directions.

The outcome of the battle was clear!

Soon after, Yang Ling had heavily injured the Dark Dragon without losing a single member of his forces, easily taming it.

Yang Ling had reacted quickly and led his army to retreat. However, the various large factions that refused to back down, wanting desperately to enter the underground city, immediately bore the brunt of the Dark Dragons’ wrath.

Roar...

Seeing a few Dark Dragons being killed, the rest of the Dark Dragons went berserk, unleashing a counter-attack without consideration. They dove down at high speeds and used their dragon breath and scorching flames... They used all of the techniques at their disposal!

Seeing the Dark Dragons starting to fight for their lives, the rest of the factions did not dare to delay, all of them putting up their best effort. In that instant, the two parties were engulfed in a bloodbath, pathetic cries filling the air.

The Holy Barrier of the Church was destroyed by the combined attacks of the rest of the Dark Dragons in the blink of an eye. Under the furious counter attack of the Dark Dragons, many of the knights, archers, and Spellcasters got smashed to pieces, or burnt to ash by the scorching flames.

The Bellimore family had strong offensive capabilities, but like the Church, they also suffered heavy casualties under the reckless counter-attacks of the Dark Dragons, losing twenty of their elites in the blink of an eye.

Under Elder Klive’s commands, the Dark Knights and Spellcasters tried their best to defend but were unable to block the manic Dark Dragons. Someone would die to the claws or flames of the giant dragons from time to time.

Although the Church, Dark Association, and Bellimore family suffered heavy casualties, it was even worse for the other factions.

The undead army of the Angus family fell in waves, the Undead Wizard leading the group becoming the target of the many Dark Dragons. The troops and adventurers around the Wolf Troop Team were in an even more pathetic state, their flesh being flung around by the attacks of the Dark Dragons...

A bloody battle, this was an extraordinarily bloody battle!

It was like a meat grinder around the stone statue. Soon after, the surroundings became littered with dismembered limbs, rivers of blood flowing.

The large factions suffered heavy casualties, but the Dark Dragons were not in a good state either! A dozen Dark Dragons were reduced to five in an instant, all of them heavily injured. Their offense was getting weaker and weaker, their speed getting slower.

“No one is to charge without my orders!”

Looking at the heavily injured Dark Dragons on the ground taking their dying breaths, how could Yang Ling bear to miss such a good opportunity?

After ordering the group to not act recklessly, he raised his Blood Elf Dagger and teleported away. He would either keep the injured Dark Dragons into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and find the time to tame them later or instruct his Magical Beast army to lure them into the restrictions, effortlessly trapping them here alive.

Yang Ling roamed freely around the battlefield with his Earth Evasion Technique, taking advantage of the chaos. He almost always reached the loot before anyone else, not willing to give up even the corpses of the Dark Dragon, much to the fury of the Angus family who wanted to zombify the dragons.

There were several times when they had already rubbed the medicine onto the body of the Dark Dragon and recited half the incantation, but got the corpse snatched away by the speedy Yang Ling just as they were about to succeed. Harrison almost vomited blood in anger!

Roar...

Just as the various factions were putting in their greatest efforts and the dozen Dark Dragons were about to be exterminated, a deafening roar came suddenly from atop the Dark Dragon Cliff. The intense soundwave caused the surrounding rubble to fly upward. The troops and adventurers who were already weak felt as though they had been hit by a hammer, their faces turning pale. Some of them even spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Not good, Level-Surpassing Magical Beast! Quick, the Dark Dragon King is about to come out. Get into formation, quick!”

“Matthew, retreat, quick!”

...

Hearing the terrifying roar, seeing the rest of the Dark Dragons become energized, the large factions tightened their formations, forming a packed defensive formation. Yang Ling was even faster, making a hand gesture and teleporting back to his army’s formation. He fetched the Illusory Crystal over from Yuna’s hands, prepared to film an exciting show!
