Chapter 58: The Summoned Flame Dragon!
Chapter 58: The Summoned Flame Dragon!
"Fulfill the contract, heed my call and come forth through Summoning Magic—Flame Dragon!"
To ensure that Cui wouldn't be overwhelmed with the heavy task of evacuation and protecting the people alone, Yecheng left her a helper before leaving.
As a massive fire magic array swiftly took shape on the ground, a gigantic silhouette gradually emerged within the flames.
"Roar~~~~~~~~~!"
With a dragon's roar that reverberated throughout the Sealed City, the flames surrounding the Flame Dragon dispersed completely.
Nearly fifty meters in size, its entire body radiated high-temperature crimson scales, fierce dragon horns, sharp teeth, and a massive tail that could effortlessly topple nearby buildings with a casual sweep.
When the Flame Dragon appeared, the residents of Yecheng, who had previously regarded Yecheng as the 'Hero', were left dumbfounded.
The legendary Flame Dragon had been summoned! Only a deity or a true Demon Lord could summon such a being. In any case, a so-called 'Hero' would certainly not be capable of such a feat.
"My master, why have you summoned me... Wait, is this not the Sealed City of Rubadland? I've always wanted to occupy this town as my nest, but that damn Barrier Spell has been blocking my path.
Now that damn barrier has disappeared, did you do it, my master? So, you intend to conquer this town, which is why you summoned me?"
"Rest assured, my master. I, the Flame Dragon, will..."
With an entrance filled with special effects, the Flame Dragon's aura was instantly established, but the words spoken by this legendary dragon after its appearance left the onlookers even more terrified, and Yecheng, standing by, could only shake his head in dismay.
"I'm a protagonist, not a villainous boss. I summoned you to assist Cui and protect the evacuation of these people.
You see those monsters over there, they are your opponents this time. Taking them down shouldn't be a problem, right?"
According to what Cui had said earlier, the monsters invading the city were all legendary mythical beasts, and the Flame Dragon was also of legendary status. With a one-versus-many situation, Yecheng's questioning tone was understandable.
However, in response to Yecheng's doubt, the Flame Dragon at this moment revealed its haughty demeanor as a legendary dragon.
"My master, you must be joking. These insignificant beings are not even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me.
I am the strongest of the Dragon Race, and even among those called legendary mythical beasts, there are still varying degrees of strength.
Before an existence like me, they can only serve as appetizers..."
The Flame Dragon continued to boast, but Yecheng had clearly lost patience and directly used several quick jumps with 'Flash Step' to swiftly head towards the location of the Mana Pillar.
"Well then, do your best."
Yecheng hadn't realized earlier that the legendary Flame Dragon also had a chatty nature.
But at this moment, he obviously didn't have the time to keep listening to the Flame Dragon's boasting.
If the Barrier Spell wasn't repaired quickly, legendary-level monsters would keep pouring in from outside, and no matter how powerful they were, they would eventually be worn down.
On his way to the town center, Yecheng also happened to encounter the Ice Clan descendant, Meibelu, whom he hadn't seen in several months.
The reason for this person's presence here remains unknown to Yecheng, but when they offered to help, Yecheng did not refuse.
The enemy's strength was uncertain, but judging from their ability to effortlessly break through the barrier magic, which even the Molyn Dragon struggled against, their power should not be underestimated.
According to Cui's explanation, breaking the barrier magic from within the Sealed City was much easier than doing so from the outside. With an unexpected helper, Yecheng naturally didn't decline the offer.
When they arrived at the site of the previous Mana Pillar eruption, Yecheng spotted a figure in a hooded robe holding two Elemental Swords, deep in thought.
Yecheng didn't hesitate or worry about morality; instead, he tightened his grip on the longsword forged from Wyrm materials and launched a surprise attack on the mysterious figure's back.
As a sonic boom erupted beneath Yecheng's feet, the air exploded, and his figure shot forward like a cannonball.
"Night God Style Fifth Technique: Star Bite!"
With enhanced physical abilities and the use of "Shunpo," Yecheng rushed towards the figure's back at an incredible speed, like a shooting star.
During this high-speed charge, Yecheng drew his longsword from his waist and aimed for the figure's heart, executing a swift longsword thrust.
This was the so-called "Star Bite," a technique where he rushed like a star, biting down on the opponent's heart with deadly precision.
However, to Yecheng's surprise, his short-burst speed was already astonishing, and few could react within such a brief moment.
But the "mysterious person" he had ambushed seemed to have eyes on their back. As Yecheng's longsword pierced towards their heart, the figure in the black robe swiftly turned, crossing their two Elemental Swords in an "X" shape to block Yecheng's "Star Bite!"
"Boom———!"
The instant the black longsword clashed with the two Elemental Swords, a terrifying burst of air pressure swept the surroundings. Massive boulders, weighing at least several tons each, were pushed up from the ground as if they were butter, distorted by the sheer force.
However, Yecheng had been building up his momentum, and his physical abilities were clearly superior. The mysterious figure, caught off guard and ambushed, hastily blocked the attack.
Yecheng's thrust, though failing to pierce the figure's heart, unleashed a powerful force that sent their body flying backward as if struck by an ancient dragon, nearly a hundred meters away.
The figure should have been sent flying even further after taking Yecheng's attack head-on, but they seemed to possess flight magic. As they were blown away, a reinforcing gust of wind erupted from their back, reducing the impact.
But the situation wasn't over yet. As the black-robed figure slid across the ground after landing, they were about to speak upon seeing Yecheng's face, but before they could, a blue-haired girl with an Ice Scythe appeared behind the "mysterious person" once more. She tightened her grip on the 'Frost God Sword,' freezing the "mysterious person" into an ice sculpture while they were still stiff from the previous attack.
Needless to say, the attacker was none other than Mabel Ray, the Ice Clan's homebody. Her coordination with Yecheng had been planned beforehand.
