169 True Shadow (2)
After all, Whalebone had encountered this because it had accepted his commission. He needed to take some responsibility.
While their attention was focused in the distance, William gestured to Liz. She nodded and flew to the same height as William. Scale powder that resembled golden powder constantly rose behind her. Then, she drew a few golden trajectories like a dance.
A hazy and ambiguous mist spread around William.
At the same time, near the Viper Scar thousands of kilometers away, William, who was slumped on a wide throne, was surrounded by a dreamy mist.
Countless indistinct connections were connected to the iron plate on the Mirror Shadow's chest. Then, boundless magic power surged into this illusionary body.
Using the iron plate on his chest as a medium for casting spells, an extremely complicated spell began to be woven.
Several dangerous cracks instantly appeared on the iron plate that exceeded the upper limit of the material's mana capacity. Invisible mana spewed out, and refracted the light in the sky, slowly forming a huge and fake outline.
Everyone was holding the weapons in their hands tightly and waited solemnly on the deck. They stared at the warship with the Dragon Sword emblem on the sails that could almost be seen with the naked eye and didn't notice a huge shadow slowly cast over their ship.
“Attention all personnel, the opposite ship has stopped! Brace yourselves!” Hobbs lowered the monocular in his hand and said.
“Why? The other party shouldn't be able to attack us at this distance,” Big Steel Cannon asked in confusion.
Hobbs raised his monocular again and looked at the empire warship.
Through the polished crystal lenses, he saw the sailors on the warship not far away clumsily adjusting the sails and turning the ship around. The bow of the ship was filled with people, and many of them were pointing at him as if they were shouting.
“They look like… they want to escape? Why?”Hobbs asked in confusion.
A blood-freezing roar perfectly answered his question.
Roar!
Half of the people on the deck sat on the ground in fear of the roar.
After the dark cloud blanketing the Whalebone left and chased after the empire warship not far away, someone stammered as he pointed at it and shouted, “Dragon… It's a dragon!”
Is it fake?
How can there be a f*cking dragon on the Shattered Sea?
This was the only question in the bearded captain's mind when he saw the black dragon with black membrane wings spread out like dark clouds and razor-like sharp scales that shone like obsidian under the sunlight.
Ever since Terra I's loyal companion, Uutu, returned to the Dragon Bone Islands, how many years had it been since a dragon had been seen? Although the Dragon Sword emblem was famous as the symbol of the Riel Empire, to the people of the current empire, dragons were equivalent to legendary creatures.
Yet, one suddenly appeared out of thin air?
“Captain, what should we do?”
The first mate shook the captain's shoulder with all his might to jolt him up from his shocked daze.
“Turn… the defensive spells on the Starlight Tower to the maximum!”
He pointed at the two conical wooden towers beside the mast with a trembling finger.
“I've already informed them of this. Other than that?”
Other than that? What else could they do when an adult black dragon appeared here? Could they negotiate with it?
The destructive power of an adult black dragon was comparable to a Legendary mage. As they were born capable of flying and had perfect mobility, coupled with their indestructible bodies, an adult dragon could often change the outcome of the battle on the battlefield.
Taking a few deep breaths of the salty air, the captain suppressed his fear and shouted, “Keep… Keep calm! Put away all your f*cking bows and spells. Don't anger that dragon!”
Upon hearing this, the sailors who had long set up bows and crossbows, as well as the few magical mediums flickering with the outline of spells, hesitantly put down the weapons in their hands.
Upon seeing this, the captain lowered his voice and added, “Don't attack it or test it. This dragon is most likely just passing by. Since it didn't attack the smuggling ship when it first appeared, it has no reason to attack us.”
“But Captain, it's flying in our direction…” a sailor standing beside him said with a trembling voice.
“Don't panic. Perhaps it's just going in this direction…” the captain stared at the black dragon and said nervously.
Rather than saying that he was answering the sailor's question, it was better to say that he was comforting himself.
Or rather, he was lying to himself.
It wasn't until the black dragon circled above the warship and began to emit sparks from its mouth as it prepared to spew its breath that he finally came to his senses.
“Hit it! Get this beast down! Pronto!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a scorching breath spewed out of the huge black dragon's mouth.
“Dragon! That's really a dragon! It's just as the legends described!”
“My grandmother definitely won't believe this…”
“If I can return alive, I'll tell this story to my future grandson.”
“Bless you, Holy Spirit, bless you, Holy Spirit…”
“I still don't understand. Where did it come from?”
Exclamation, panic, prayer, excitement, uneasiness…
Compared to the empire warship that had been targeted by the black dragon, the Whalebone's crew displayed more colorful emotions other than fear. They were either excited or terrified as they watched the huge black dragon circle above the warship. From time to time, they exclaimed sincerely.
The person who triggered all of this—William—had Liz stop releasing the Faerie Mist when their attention was completely attracted by the Black Dragon.
Releasing Faerie Mist was a considerable drain on her. It was best to use it as little as possible unless it was an emergency.
In addition, using True Shadow to manifest a normal adult black dragon should be enough, right?
William thought as he watched the black dragon in the distance spit out a breath wrapped in a black curse at the warship.
After all, top dragon species like golden dragons or immortal stone dragons were extremely rare even in that era a thousand years ago.
It's just a wooden warship. A black dragon's breath that's equivalent to a Legendary Fire spell is enough… Huh?
The corner of William's eye twitched.
The moment the pitch-black breath landed, a silver-white barrier suddenly appeared over the two wooden towers on the warship that flickered with deep starlight, blocking the breath from the hull.
However, they collapsed like thin ice floating on a lake. Almost instantly, the two towers exploded one after another, and the sails on the mast were instantly ignited.
However, that was all the power of the breath. The scene William imagined of the entire warship being burned to the keel didn't happen.
It wasn't that some force blocked the infinitely powerful breath, but that the black dragon stopped.
William tried to give more orders to attack, but the black dragon didn't react at all.
I can't do this…
The black dragon's will was transmitted to William.
With the enhanced vision of the Eagle Eye, William quickly found the reason why the black dragon stopped.
It was a woman.
It was a short woman with chestnut hair and a dress that didn't match the sea.
At this moment, she was panting as she leaned against the door of the cabin that led to the deck. She held her stomach with one hand and held up a bronze metal plate with the other.
The metal plate was engraved with the pattern of a dragon and a sword, as well as a coarse, acute-angled horn symbol.
I can't attack my master.
The black dragon's will was transmitted to William's mind again.
