Chapter 2382: Chapter 1320: Each Their Own Battlefield (Part 2)
In the passage of the dragon nest tangled with sharp dragon claws and resilient vines, the surging, scorching dragon breath instantly cast the surroundings in a flickering blaze, revealing the increasingly hideous, gigantic dragon face of the leading Tier 6 giant dragon.
Just as the dragon breath was about to envelop the physical-type treant elder, the snarl on the leading Tier 6 giant dragon’s face deepened into a chilling grin; never had prey escaped his scorching from such close range.
Yet at this moment, the leading dragon was suddenly shocked to discover that the high temperature generated by the dragon breath inside the cave was rapidly decreasing. Before he could react, an ice dragon of comparable size had easily dispersed the dragon breath and lunged straight at him.
Wherever the sudden ice dragon arrived, frost instantly spread everywhere, quickly extinguishing the surrounding flames, leaving only wisps of smoke rising in the passage.
“A Tier 6 Magic Ice Dragon? Another summoned creature from a Tier 6 Magic Scroll?!”
The leading dragon soon realized the crux of the situation. Despite his angry demeanor, he charged at the ferociously attacking Magic Ice Dragon, engaging directly in a tussle with it.
For a moment, ice breath and flames surged throughout the vast passage, causing frost and combustion intermittently. The collision of the two massive bodies shook the ground, forcing surrounding individuals to stay clear.
Unlike the clear supremacy of water over fire, the relationship between ice and fire is one of mutual destruction, with each capable of inflicting extraordinary damage on the other.
Thus, even though the leading dragon faced merely an ice system summoned creature, given their comparable strength, it was a stalemate for the moment.
Seeing their opponent successfully entangled, Trees and the other treant elites couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, joining forces to fight the remaining giant dragons.
For a time, with one Tier 6 combat power entangled and their treant soldiers adeptly using Tier 6 Magic Scrolls and Tier 5 Attack Scrolls, the dragons, which usually held absolute dominance over treants, found themselves momentarily at a disadvantage.
Witnessing this scene, the Dwarf Soldiers erupted into cheers and jubilation, even the young Dwarf Elf soldier with wet pants was invigorated, directing his Alchemy Puppets to disperse the fog around the treants to prevent disruption from the Dragon Mirage.
However, Trees and the other treants locked in fierce combat maintained their vigilance, their wooden-carved faces stern.
These were all treant veterans who had participated in battles centuries ago, acutely aware of the dragons’ formidable power and terror.
Despite the tunnel limiting the dragons’ advantage of flight, forcing them into ground combat, the narrow confines significantly amplified the power of the dragon breath and other fire system spells.
Moreover, even in close combat, the treants held no inherent advantage, let alone the absolute domination due to elemental superiority.
Especially in the earlier skirmish, utilizing high-tier magic scrolls, mostly alleviating elemental suppression with water attributes, only allowed them to fight to a standstill, illustrating the extent of the challenge.
“Fortunate are we that Your Majesty of the Humans generously bestowed upon us an ample supply of Magic Scrolls before the battle commenced; otherwise, the situation would undoubtedly be dire.”
Trees wielded the magic wand in his hand, contemplating thus while directing a massive descending plant cage to ensnare a Tier 5 giant dragon poised for a sneak attack.
When that Tier 5 giant dragon was trapped, the enormous cage, adorned with poisonous vines, rapidly contracted, binding the opponent tightly, causing it to totter and soon collapse, motionless.
Meanwhile, two other treant elders, empowered by Magic Scrolls, engaged with their Tier 6 adversaries, matching them blow for blow, preventing any breach of their defensive line.
“You damnable fools, you have truly enraged me this time!”
The leading dragon, still entangled with the Magic Ice Dragon, seized the opportunity to unleash another torrent of dragon breath, melting part of the ice dragon’s massive body instantly, with thick steam billowing upward.
Though the Magic Ice Dragon’s power was nearly on par with the leading dragon, as an unthinking golem puppet-type summoned creature, coupled with mutual suppression, it naturally couldn’t engage for long.
Upon being hit by the dragon breath, the leading dragon’s claws swung, smashing the chest of the Magic Ice Dragon to pieces. Amidst flying ice shards, the Magic Ice Dragon crashed down with a loud thud, soon restoring to energy particles.
Afterward, the leading dragon quickly noticed that during the time he was occupied, two Tier 5 dragons had fallen, prompting a furious roar as he launched another frenzied assault on Trees, shouting, “I don’t believe your Magic Scrolls are limitless!”
“Regardless, the treants shall never retreat an inch.”
Trees snorted coldly, unleashing countless vines to lash out once more into fierce battle.
Such intense scenes of treant versus dragon skirmishes occurred not only where Trees and others were at this junction but, as outlined in the battle plan, similar confrontations were happening continuously at a series of greater and lesser junctions deep within the nest.
But without exception, facing dragons strongly suppressing them, the treant soldiers maintained high morale, not allowing the enemies to advance a single step past the line, determined to fight to the end.
