Chapter 736: Roaring Flames
Chapter 736: Roaring Flames
Dum, dum, dum—
The prelude began with several vigorous cello melodies.
The nearby sky suddenly resonated with a tune, as if an epic curtain was being drawn open at this very moment.
At this instant, the castle's spire in Silver City had completely melted under the dragonbeast's assault, transforming into a torrent of scarlet molten metal that splattered downward.
The servants within the castle could only flee in terror, seeking refuge from others.
But as this music played, it captured the attention of everyone in the city.
No one in this world had heard this melody before, but in reality, it was the music that played in the movie when Smaug, the dragon, was about to die above Lake-town.
The BGM's effect was quite simple.
It could easily agitate enemies with dragon attributes, causing them to lose control of their emotions and expose their weaknesses.
"..."
Whoosh—
The orange fine lines in the sky suddenly lost their momentum, then shattered into countless sparks mid-air.
The descending fire lines resembled a pure-colored curtain of flames sweeping downward.
To the people listening, this music encouraged them to bravely fight and slay the dragon.
But to the dragonbeast...
In its ears, this was a challenge from a weak, crawling creature.
It was a blatant humiliation! A mockery that disdained its status as a top-tier being!
"ROAR—"
An unprecedented roar, filled with unparalleled arrogance, echoed from the sky.
The next moment, the flames around the dragonbeast abruptly expanded outward.
Its rage was this rapidly swelling inferno, determined to destroy everything in its path to vent its anger and assert its supreme might!
Rumble, rumble—
Finally, the nearby floating islands began to change.
After the previous two attacks, the dragonbeast was now quite close to Silver City.
At this distance, the backup measures Ye Haiya had left in the city also started to take effect.
The floating islands, guided by the Organizer's technique along predetermined trajectories, began to mobilize. They moved along satellite-like orbits, quickly converging to ultimately form a defensive barrier against the dragonbeast in the east.
These islands vaguely maintained a structural formation.
Their interconnected rules subtly formed a grid-like defensive line.
The Organizer's technique was protecting her core territory—Silver City.
"ROAR—"
Flames flickered within the dragonbeast's deep growl.
As it listened to the irritating music around it and witnessed the enemy's technique manifesting before its eyes, it didn't even bother to breathe fire this time.
Instead, relying on its innate power, it charged directly towards the wall of floating islands, enveloped in flames.
Rumble, rumble!!!
The terrifying roar silenced all other sounds in the sky.
The floating islands under Ye Haiya's control resonated with a profound and mysterious vibration, barely withstanding the dragonbeast's impact while also notifying their distant master.
As for the dragonbeast...
After the collision, its body recoiled backward in midair.
Countless flames scattered around it, floating in the air, but instead of extinguishing, they transformed into pure dragon-shaped elemental creatures, continuing to charge towards Silver City in a suicidal explosion.
The orange-red flame element creatures showed no fear of death.
They relentlessly collided with the floating island defense array, like sand scattered on water, sparking a scorching blaze.
Every moment, the defense line of the floating islands trembled with Essence energy.
This was a pure collision of Seventh Stage techniques.
Even though it wasn't directed at ordinary people, the nearby humans couldn't help but find themselves in a difficult situation.
Behind Lindsey and Alice, the warriors protected by Alice were struggling. Many of the lower-level warriors had already collapsed, their consciousness seared by the scorching heat. The Essence Quakes that constantly rippled through the air also impacted their Awakened foundations, making it difficult for them to control themselves.
In just a few seconds, the Floating Island where Silver City stood was in chaos.
Even in the most forward camp, those who could stand were nowhere to be seen, as if they were merely drifters struggling under the calamity.
"..."
"This city shall never fall, and our hearts shall stand guard here!"
Seeing this, Alice shouted.
The girl plunged her Lawsteel Sword into the ground, and her Essence Technique rapidly spread behind her. Those who were already under her defensive Technique now had a faint glow on their bodies.
Using her specialized power, Alice amplified the protective strength of her Technique, ensuring that people wouldn't lose their lives under the Essence's onslaught.
"..."
At this moment, Lindsey's gaze drifted unconsciously.
The reason was simple—
After Alice provided support, most people rallied, ready to continue fighting and sharing the fate of Silver City.
But those believers had already gathered and headed west.
They were relying on the Righteous One's blessing.
Using the believers' Techniques, they began constructing a black bridge of faith, planning to escape from the rear of Silver City.
"..."
Lindsey's expression was a bit helpless, but he soon reminded Alice in front of him:
"Alice."
"The people are protected now, so we should go too."
The Righteous Path girl replied with a single word:
"Let's go!"
The next second, Lindsey and Alice sprinted forward.
The Dragonbeasts originally flew high in the sky, making it difficult for the two to approach.
But with the Organizer's Technique controlling the islands, forming a natural grid, they could use this unique terrain to ascend higher into the sky.
Two Awakened.
One relied on physical prowess, and the other on Technique enhancement.
They spread like lightning across the Floating Island, finally reaching the highest island at the top.
Looking down from this vantage point, the Dragonbeasts, still releasing flames to attack the array of Floating Islands before them, were at a lower position—a more advantageous position for attack!
Swish—
Alice's fingers rested on the spine of her sword.
But this time, she didn't speak her will, and there was barely any Essence fluctuation; her Technique was completely ineffective.
Yet, on the Lawsteel Sword, a faint white blade shadow emerged.
"..."
The Righteous Path girl's expression was determined.
All her Essence and Technique, except for the protection of the ordinary people behind her, gathered in her hand.
The sword in her hand also represented her will and the path ahead.
Beside Alice, Lindsey's approach was even simpler.
He opened his skill list, activating all his physical enhancement skills and then all his effect enhancement skills.
The Crimson Horn Holly, with its Technique-breaking ability, was placed in Lindsey's left-hand equipment slot.
The Extinction Blade, which maximized damage, was equipped on his right hand.
In reality, Lindsey tightly gripped a sword hilt, and with a 'buzz,' a purple lightsaber extended from his hand.
It had magic-breaking and armor-piercing properties.
In this world, the majestic music of dragon slaying resounded.
No matter how hard the Dragonbeasts' scales were.
They wouldn't be able to block this attack, would they?
