Emperor of Arcane

Chapter 638: Dragon Slaying Skills (8000)

"Roar……!"

Kalecgos let out a sharp scream, feeling the sting from the huge crossbow arrow piercing his chest, and flapped his wings in panic.

The huge stretching force dragged it upwards.

The sound of breaking through the air not far away made him quickly dodge.

The fear of unknown attacks prevented Kalecgos from pursuing the adventurers who were fleeing in panic.

It felt the movement in the distance and swooped over without hesitation.

Kalecgos, who has very rich combat experience, understands that only by dealing with threatening enemies first can he successfully defeat his opponents.

However, when Kalecgos swooped over, the intense sense of crisis in his heart immediately set off the alarm.

It immediately dodged to dodge, and several armor-piercing crossbow arrows that were speeding towards it had already blocked its dodging position.

The thick mana shield immediately surrounded Kalecgos's front body, blocking the armor-piercing crossbow arrows flying over.

However, these crossbow arrows have extremely strong penetrating power.

Kalecgos even saw the shining arrow with his own eyes, emitting a powerful demon-breaking aura, piercing through the mana shield, and continuing to fly towards it.

"Enchanted armor-piercing crossbow?"

As soon as this thought flashed through Kalecgos's mind, four or five dragon-hunting crossbow arrows had already pierced its eyes.

Kalecgos, knowing how powerful they were, released the acceleration spell on himself without hesitation, gave up his plan of diving and attacking, and flew straight into the sky with his entire body.

The armor-piercing crossbow arrows flew past its scales, and the sound of whirring through the air carried the regrets of the adventurers.

Kalecgos, who broke out in a cold sweat, hovered a thousand meters in the air, staring at the location where the crossbow was fired.

It felt the pain in its chest and the vague numbness, and grabbed the crossbow arrow without hesitation.

The barbs buried deep in the arrow made Kalecgosten break into a cold sweat.

But it still gritted its fangs and pulled out the crossbow arrow with force.

Wow!

Hot blood spurted out, and the severe pain made Kalecgos howl uncontrollably.

But it quickly recovered and chanted the spell quickly and skillfully.

Treat serious injuries!

The huge gap healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It took Kalecgos a while before he managed to regain his strength.

He stared at the busy adventurers below in horror, with many doubts popping up in his mind:

"What's going on? What kind of weapon is this!"

"Have all today's adventurers become so strong?"

"They didn't run away after seeing me?"

"Who are they? Is it a trap set by the Cole elves?"

"..."

The complicated thoughts made Kalecgos confused.

It never thought that, but it had not seen it in just over ten years, the strength of human adventurers had actually improved to this level.

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

If it does not want to sleep at this time point, but continues to expand and develop its own country.

Maybe, it has already cracked the secret of the Death Desert and found a way to truly fight against the Dragon Madness Lock.

But now, most of the dragonborn in the Blue Dragon Kingdom have been contaminated by the "Scarlet Moon" and have lost their reason and wisdom, and must be dealt with.

The reason why Kalecgos brought them out was just to use them.

The remaining dragonborn were also troubled by "Dragon Madness" and were unable to continue to realize Kalecgos' ambitions.

Therefore, Kalecgos had to "cooperate" with the Kor elves.

However, Kalecgos initially thought that what the Kor elves wanted was just for the secrets of the Death Desert.

Now it seems that is not the case at all!

Maybe the Cole elves not only have a crush on the secret of the Death Desert, but also have a crush on it!

Kalecgos still believes that these adventurers are manipulated by the Cole elves.

Blue dragons have a very bad temper and never quit a fight midway.

It searched for the weak points of the adventurers below and pounced behind them without hesitation.

In Kalecgos's opinion, a weapon that can break through magic shield defense and then tear through dragon scales and muscle armor.

It must be extremely expensive and extremely rare.

In fact, Kalecgos's guess was correct.

Even the productivity of the Cole Elf Kingdom, after obtaining the data and information of the Bay Territory's hunting dragon crossbow.

They only tried to produce a few experimental dragon-hunting crossbows and then chose to give up production.

The reason is simple, the magical materials and parts of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow are too "expensive".

If it was only 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins more expensive, the Cole Elf Kingdom would grit its teeth and purchase the production line.

But they counted the materials and found that there were many types and the processing was complicated and delicate. The various materials and production costs alone cost 35,000 gold coins.

Moreover, to participate in the manufacturing of dragon-hunting crossbows, at least senior technicians are required.

Some key core parts also require the work of a master of magic item manufacturing.

After including the processing fee for the Cole Elf caster, the total production expenditure will reach an astonishing 90,000 gold coins!

Not only is the price almost double that of Bay Collar production!

It also takes up the precious time of the master of magic item making!

Very uneconomical!

In this case, they might as well spend some effort and get ready-made dragon-hunting crossbows from the bay.

Although the cost of doing this is not small, and occasionally several batches of adventurer cannon fodder are lost, it is enough to make up for the price difference of tens of thousands of gold coins.

However, the Dragon Hunting Crossbow is no longer a particularly difficult magic item for the Gulf Territory.

It’s not that it’s not important anymore!

Instead, a complete and precise automatic magic production line has been built to meet its huge output and demand.

Of course, for some parts that require higher precision and can provide the producer with considerable production experience.

They will be specially handed over to some magic item makers who need to be improved to make them.

Gulf collar does not pursue absolute cost squeezing, but mostly focuses on saving manpower, improving efficiency, and increasing people's production capacity and profits.

In order to test Kalecgos's strength, Alice specially mobilized more than 50 dragon-hunting crossbows.

Therefore, when Kalecgos swooped down ferociously, preparing to attack from the rear of the adventurer team.

A trace of cruelty flashed in Alice's eyes, and she decisively issued the order to "pretend to retreat."

"Run...!"

"The blue dragon is coming!"

"Run away!!"

"Help!"

"Everyone, hide now!"

"Hide underground quickly..."

"Spread out and run!!"

"..."

As if the actual power of the dragon spread, the terrified adventurers ran around.

The panic in their hearts made them completely lose the idea of ​​confrontation!

Kalecgos was just about to activate his breath, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

But it knew in its heart that it was not the time to celebrate now, so it flapped its wings vigorously and rushed towards the dragon-hunting crossbow closest to it.

Kalecgos, who was paying full attention, had "saw" that several panic-stricken adventurers were dragging a carriage to escape.

They obviously noticed the arrival of Kalecgos. Seeing that the carriage was running too slowly, they abandoned it on a bare sand dune and fled in all directions.

The excited Kalecgos flew over without hesitation.

But it was very experienced in combat, but it did not approach the carriage rashly, but chanted spells without hesitation.

A large amount of earth element magic suddenly gathered under the sand, and then turned into huge spikes, which instantly shot out from the ground and hit the carriage accurately.

Bang!

Wow!

The five- to six-meter-high earth thorn instantly pierced the carriage, and the bow and crossbow inside were all knocked to pieces.

"Success!"

Kalecgos noticed the dense spell lines on the fragments, the magic waves spreading in the air, and the enchanted armor-piercing crossbow arrows rolling aside, and he felt relieved.

Kalecgos, who relaxed a little, immediately turned around and rushed towards the other escaping carriage.

It noticed the adventurers trying to drag the carriage into a cave, and violent emotions could not help but emerge. Thinking of the aching wound, it roared ferociously.

"You little reptiles are asking for your own death!"

The manic Kalecgos activated his talents without hesitation, controlling the familiar sand and condensing surging magic power.

The adventurers running wildly in the underground passage suddenly felt violent vibrations around them.

Cracks began to appear on the top of the head, and large amounts of sand fell down.

"quick……!"

"Rush out quickly..."

"It's going to collapse in here!"

"Run!!"

"It's coming!!"

"Can't run away..."

"Woooooooo..."

"..."

Kalecgos could clearly feel that those little reptiles were crying bitterly in the underground passage, letting out some of the resentment accumulated in their hearts, but they were merciless.

All the sand at both ends of the passage collapsed, burying more than a dozen adventurers who ran into the underground passage.

Kalecgos did not even choose to drown them out of his own evil grudge.

Instead, a space was specially left for them to wait for death!

Kalecgos is also very interested in weapons that can kill him. If he has the opportunity to seize some, he will naturally study them carefully.

After taking care of the second dragon-hunting crossbow, Kalecgos finally felt relieved as the adventurers ran wildly.

It circled and rose again, quickly selected the carriage farthest from itself, and flew over without hesitation.

In the Death Desert, Kalecgos, who was extremely familiar with the terrain, believed that these little reptiles would never be able to escape its pursuit.

Therefore, it will naturally not let go of any weapon that threatens itself.

It wants them all!

Just as Kalecgos excitedly rushed towards the third carriage.

It stopped suddenly, and the surrounding adventurers turned around with all their strength, and under Kalecgos's teasing gaze, they tremblingly drew their swords.

At this moment, a very fast black shadow suddenly emerged from the carriage and shot towards Kalecgos at an extraordinary speed.

Kalecgos, who was putting on a show, actually never let down his guard and faced a fierce and murderous blow.

Its huge body actually turned sideways lightly, narrowly avoiding the armor-piercing crossbow arrows!

This shows Kalecgos' ability to control his body, his extraordinary reflexes, and his strong confidence in controlling the battle situation.

Seeing that this last blow failed to work, the adventurers around the carriage showed expressions of despair, and two of them trembled and collapsed to the ground.

Smelling the smell of urine that filled the air, Kalecgos grinned, revealing his extremely sharp fangs, and landed leisurely, hitting the sand with a "bang".

The violent shock and terrifying power made all the adventurers unable to stand firm and fell on the soft sand.

Feeling the fear emanating from their hearts, Kalecgos stretched out his claws without hesitation and grabbed the carriage directly.

Click!

Before its claws could touch the carriage, the surroundings of the carriage shattered into pieces.

A nimble figure rushed out from the flying wood chips and quickly fled to the bottom of the sand dune.

The speed was so fast that the surrounding adventurers were unable to react.

But Kalecgos, who reacted very quickly, saw his entire movement clearly.

In particular, I noticed the storage belt on his waist, which obviously took away the crucial dragon-hunting crossbow.

Kalecgos, who was extremely angry and laughed, straightened his legs and dug a huge deep hole in the soft sand.

The 20-meter-long body shot out like a cannonball.

Chris was running wildly, feeling the strong wind blowing on his face. He didn't dare to look at anything behind him, and just kept running with all his strength.

But he was suddenly surprised to find that the scorching sunlight that originally shone on his cheeks had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a deep and huge shadow.

Chris subconsciously raised his head and met a twisted and terrifying face.

"ah……!"

Chris screamed in horror, his feet fell to the ground, and his whole body rolled on the sand.

Bang!

Kalecgos, who was flying in the air, landed lightly and accurately landed about 10 meters away from Chris. His claws, which exuded a cold light, slowly aimed at Chris and grabbed him.

Chris turned over, looked at the dragon claws getting closer and closer, and shouted at the top of his voice without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, the great blue dragon Kalecgos, please forgive me for my disrespect and offense. I am willing to offer you a powerful weapon that can rule the desert of death!"

When Chris said this, he did not use common language, but the correct dragon language.

There was fear and trembling in his voice, but there was a hint of stubbornness and expectation on his face.

The deadly claws stopped in front of his eyes. Kalecgos looked at Chris lying on the ground, snorted coldly and asked:

"Stupid reptile, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, so give up the weapon that belongs to me immediately!!"

After hearing this, Chris realized that he might have saved his life. A little surprise flashed in his eyes. He reached out to his belt tremblingly, with a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

Kalecgos saw his expression clearly. The blue dragon was full of evil nature and couldn't help but think:

"Just because you can speak so proficiently in dragon language, I will save this poor guy's life."

"However, the premise is that you will go to physical death and accompany me with your incomplete soul state!"

As expected of Kalecgos, worthy of the evil blue dragon, the idea is so stylish.

Chris, who closed his eyes tightly, took out a shiny spell scroll under the excited gaze of Calligos, and tore it open without hesitation.

A burst of panic suddenly emerged in his heart. Feeling the obscure and twisted aura in the scroll, Kalecgos subconsciously pierced his claws, preparing to tear Chris and the scroll into pieces.

Unfortunately, it's too late!

Kalecgos looked into Chris' slightly crazy eyes and found that no matter how hard he tried, his claws couldn't seem to move forward even an inch!

Even its entire body has lost the ability to move!

"The power of time!"

The well-informed Kalecgos immediately realized the origin of this ability.

But because of this, Kalecgos felt more and more frightened.

Ordinary power of time is difficult to have an impact on a legendary dragon like it. It is very likely to be exempted and will not have any obvious effect.

The power of time that controls it now is obviously different!

Not only can it completely immobilize its entire body, it can even release a weak adventurer!

The one who took action was no ordinary legendary spellcaster!

It is most likely an elf archmage from the Elf Kingdom of Cole who is proficient in the power of time!

Chris was drained of all his fighting spirit and part of his life force because of the overstepping of the release scroll.

I just felt that my whole body was light and weak, my eyes were a little wandering, but my expression was very determined. Looking at the terrifying danger close at hand, I said with gritted teeth:

"No one is more professional than me at luring prey to the bait!"

prey?

"How dare you treat me as prey, little reptile!!"

The raging anger was building up crazily in Kalecgos's heart.

It desperately mobilized the power of its whole body to compete with the obscure power of time around it.

It is secretly cruel in its heart.

Not only must he keep this little reptile Chris by his side forever, but he must also torture him in different ways every day!

Just when Kalecgos felt that the power of time around him was about to be exhausted, its body could resume activity.

A huge and twisted shadow suddenly shrouded its head!

An extremely terrifying coercion, with a depth that made Kalecgos tremble, suddenly came down.

Chris, with a weak smile on his face, waved to Kalecgos proudly before he was about to regain his strength to move, saying:

"Goodbye!"

Kalecgos, who had regained control of his body, swung his claws at Chris.

An irresistible terrifying force came from his back, instantly knocking Kalecgos' entire body down hard and hammering it into the sand.

Boom!

The violent collision sound, accompanied by flying sand, scattered around.

Kalecgos, whose head was smashed into the sand, felt numbness in his back, and there was a faint sound of broken bones. The fear of death instantly surged into his heart.

"Dragon power!!"

"The one who attacked me was a dragon!"

"And it is stronger than me, heavier than me, and bigger than me!"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Kalecgos' mind, and it felt the heavy pressure from its back.

It vaguely realized that the real dragon that attacked it just now had exposed its deadly fangs!

Even though Kalecgos thought he was very strong, with a back covered with spikes and amazing defensive power, he definitely didn't dare to confront the opponent's dragon fang head-on.

Kalecgos, who was panicking, activated his innate ability with all his strength, urged the earth element underground, and pushed the sand away at the fastest speed.

As long as he could complete this step and turn the solid sand under him into floating quicksand, Kalecgos could quickly drill down, avoid the opponent's power suppression posture, and find opportunities and angles for attack again.

Otherwise, even a real dragon that believes in power will become very cunning and difficult to kill when it grows to a certain age.

But unfortunately, Kalecgos only thought about avoiding the threat of Fang Ya, and didn't notice that Matthew was standing behind Fang Ya!

"Cast counter!"

"Mind Blast!"

"Mind Whip!"

"Mind Spike!"

Matthew, who released 4 spells in an instant, realized that the fifth spell failed to be cast instantly, so he decisively canceled the spell by himself and raised his hand to the air.

The dancing thunder fell down in the center of the collision of dark clouds!

Crack!

The speed of the thunder was extremely fast, and it even arrived before the spell hit!

Bang!

Kalecgos, who was unaware, had his head instantly turned into a ball of black charcoal, and more than a dozen dark blue scales cracked, oozing out burnt black blood.

What made Kalecgos even more panic was the sudden piercing pain in his mind.

It was as if someone was stirring his head with a red-hot iron rod, causing his thoughts and consciousness to immediately fall into chaos.

But Kalecgos' will to survive was indeed quite strong. Even in this situation, he still remembered the deadly danger behind him, and tried his best to stretch out his claws to protect his neck.

Crack!

The piercing pain, accompanied by the clear sound of bone cracking, instantly penetrated into his somewhat confused mind.

Kalecgos actually woke up in this situation, screaming and twisting his body, trying to break free from the pressure of the teeth and claws.

Fangya, who had just bitten its claws, would not give it any breathing space, and stepped on its back with her hind legs.

The claws stretched out and reached forward, digging towards Kalecgos' heart.

As long as this claw grabbed firmly, it would surely rip the blue dragon's belly open!

Kalecgos realized the fatal danger, and his heart couldn't help but twitch violently. His hind legs stomped hard on the ground, trying to break free with all his strength.

Unfortunately, Fangya was not only very strong, but also very skilled.

She stepped on the joints of Kalecgos' hind legs, greatly limiting his strength and forming a stable state of suppression.

Kalecgos wasted a second or two to save his life, and was dug into the chest by Fangya's claws.

The sharp claws tore through the solid scales very cleanly and broke the muscles hard.

Kalecgos, who felt the breath of death, roared violently, and azure arcs emanated from his body!

Bloodline ability-power burst!

Kalecgos's already strong body immediately expanded a bit, and with the help of this sudden burst of power, he struggled to break free from the grip of Fangya's hind legs.

His body also stubbornly turned sideways to avoid Fangya's "Dragon Claw Heart Digging".

However, the sharp claws that swept over also tore a deep wound on Kalecgos's chest.

The sharp pain made it unable to help but curl up its body and try to roll out.

Unfortunately, Fangya, who missed the attack, had already prepared a follow-up move.

The strong claws tightly clamped its neck, and the open mouth aimed at its back and bit down.

Kalecgos, who felt bad, not only felt that he could not get rid of Fangya's suppression, but also immediately realized the opponent's attack target.

It was using wings to fly!

Kalecgos endured the pain from the wound and turned around with all his strength, trying to get his back close to the sand.

But the neck was being held tightly by Fang's claws, and Kalecgos even felt dizzy.

"What kind of fighting method is this?"

"Who is this real dragon?"

Crack!

Kalecgos's dragon wing was bitten by Fang, and the tough scales could not stop the fangs from cutting, and a huge gap was torn.

Kalecgos struggled hard and turned his head with all his strength. The surging anger gathered in his chest, and he spit out a cone of lightning at the silver figure in front of him with all his strength.

Crack!

But Fangya was well prepared, and his heavy body suddenly flew up lightly.

Just in time to avoid the lightning breath of the old blue dragon's desperate counterattack!

Feeling the pressure like a mountain leaving, Kalecgos turned around quickly without checking his wounds, and used all four claws to drill into the sand.

Its wings were already injured, and its flying ability in a short period of time must be damaged.

Fangya's flexible dodge, violent power, and weird melee method just now made Kalecgos give up the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

This old blue dragon with rich experience in escaping knew it very well.

Only by surviving can he continue to be his own king.

A dead real dragon can only become a trophy for others to show off.

Kalecgos's digging speed is very fast. In two or three seconds, most of his huge body of more than 20 meters long was drilled into the sand.

Seeing what Kalecgos did, the high-flying Fangya swooped down and stopped it from digging a hole in the sand pit to escape.

Kalecgos, who was running away desperately, was hit hard by Fang again.

The severe pain made him wonder if all the bones in his back were broken by Fang.

Fang's claws were digging Kalecgos' wings, flapping his wings vigorously, trying to pull him out of the sand pit.

For the sake of his life, Kalecgos ignored Fang's movements on his back and frantically mobilized his blood power to drill under the sand pile with all his strength.

Matthew, who was just about to take action, looked at Kalecgos, who had nearly 4/5 of his health left, and "smacked" his mouth with some emotion.

"Sure enough, even if the plan has been executed very well, it is still a bit beyond our ability to kill a legendary blue dragon in the Death Desert."

Although Matthew was so emotional, he did not relax at all.

Stepping on Kalecgos's back, wielding the brand new ghost blade, he chopped at its two wings with all his strength.

Crack!

The surging Qi burst out instantly, cutting the leather where the wings were connected and breaking up the strong muscles.

Yaya pulled hard, and with Kalecgos's dull scream, she tore off a pair of wings.

The gushing blood sprinkled on the dry sand and turned into clumps of condensed stones.

The terrified Kalecgos, after losing Yaya's drag, ignored the physical and mental pain of losing his wings, saw the bottom of the sand, and drilled deeper.

Looking at the rapidly disappearing sand pit, Yaya felt Kalecgos getting farther and farther away, and her eyes showed deep helplessness.

"Isn't it said that blue dragons are very warlike? Would rather die than retreat?"

"Why doesn't this guy even want his wings? He just took a beating and didn't fight back, and ran so fast?"

Yaya, who had not completed his mission, put away the fresh bloody dragon wings, glanced at the chaotic battlefield in the distance, and flew high without hesitation.

The adventurers who watched this short, intense and shocking battle knew very well that Fang had not left, but was guarding everyone in the sky.

The indescribable excitement and excitement made them shout loudly.

After seeing Kalecgos's strength and dominance, and seeing Fang's crushing of the former, they immediately recalled that they were still fighting!

The adventurers who were completely relieved were eager to discuss the battle just now, and boasted to others about their performance just now.

Other adventurers who had just arrived at the battlefield and missed this wonderful scene shook their heads with regret and put more energy into dealing with the deformed dragonborn who came to their door.

As for the boasting in their ears, they didn't hear anything!

Fang in the sky flew around the battlefield several times unwillingly.

But they still didn't see Kalecgos coming out of the sand and trying to escape.

She kept muttering "coward", "a funny guy who embarrasses the blue dragon", "a cowardly old dragon".

It was obvious that Yaya had a deep resentment about the fat meat that flew away from her mouth!

Matthew didn't have too much obsession with this, because he had already got what he wanted.

He had the opportunity to keep Kalecgos, as long as he cooperated with Yaya to attack with all his strength.

The reason why he didn't launch an attack later was mainly to take advantage of Kalecgos's life to "explore" his special expertise - multiple lungs!

Kalecgos' lungs are very special, and are even stronger than the larger Yaya's lungs.

In addition, its lungs have some special extra parts.

It can prevent it from being quickly subdued and controlled when facing Yaya's combination of "close combat", "grabbing", "submission" and other fighting skills.

Instead, it can rely on the oxygen and blood circulation in its body to persist longer and eventually find a chance to escape.

Moreover, Matthew discovered another function of its lungs by carefully observing it.

That is to help Kalecgos survive easily in the extremely air-deficient environment of the basement.

Others may think that this is the talent of the blue dragon, an innate ability.

But for Matthew, such a "natural ability" can give him a lot of inspiration.

Matthew also discovered a crucial situation by observing Kalecgos' other internal organs.

The reason why Kalecgos's unusually strong lungs did not put pressure on and affect other internal organs of the body like the unlucky Cole Elf that succeeded in the first experiment.

It relies heavily on its strong body and unique and strong vascular tissue!

From this, Matthew summarized many data and phenomena and came to a crucial conjecture.

"If one organ is too strong and the pressure it brings is too great, it will bring huge burden and damage to other organs."

"So what if we start with a connector? Transform it into a transformer that can regulate pressure? So we can achieve a new balance?"

"Well, the real dragon is indeed a super creature, and it can always bring different surprises!"

As for dragon slaying, Matthew now has over 10 different tactics!

Now, the Gulf Territory is waiting for a "fat dragon" to come to its door!

After all, the underground laboratory is still very empty...
