Novel Full Chapter 204 Magic Dragon Destroys the City...
Looking in the direction Liliya pointed, the faces of Rocky and others instantly turned pale!
In their line of sight, an immense Sky City loomed at the horizon, so large that even from a great distance, Rocky and Karina could tell that it must be a major Sky City with a population exceeding one hundred thousand!
Of course, although large Sky Cities weren’t particularly numerous, they also weren’t rare; at least Rocky had seen many on his way to Eternal City. So, this wasn’t what shocked him; what drained the color from his face was the sight of the large Sky City being besieged by dozens of Magic Dragons!
Magic Dragons, high-level demons, and among them, one of the most terrifying known to exist!
These high-level demons were hundreds of meters in body length, varying in size; adult Magic Dragons could grow longer than three hundred meters, with the smaller ones surpassing one hundred and fifty meters. In other words, a single Magic Dragon was equivalent in size to an Escort Ship.
More importantly, Magic Dragons were among the few high-level demons capable of flight!
There were many types of demons, but not many could fly; over ninety percent of demons were confined to the ground, with only a rare few able to soar through the sky. Magic Dragons were one of these rare species, and among them, the most dangerous.
Don’t be fooled by the Magic Dragon’s massive body; once airborne, it became incredibly agile. Coupled with the robust physique of a high-level demon, a casual swipe of its claw, or a flick of its tail, could easily destroy a large warship. But these were merely the most basic attack methods.
The most threatening attack from a Magic Dragon was its fireballs—just one breath could unleash a fireball more destructive than the main cannon of a warship, and a single fireball could easily obliterate a warship!
As high-level demons, the scale armor of Magic Dragons was much thicker than that of ordinary demons, such that even the main cannon of a warship striking them would feel like a tickle. Simply put, unless faced with an attack exceeding the strength of 5000, any hit on a Magic Dragon would likely go unnoticed by the massive beast because it was too light.
With its overwhelming destructive power and nearly invincible defensive power, the Magic Dragon had become a name that struck fear into hearts. It was even said that if a thousand Magic Dragons suddenly emerged among the demons, half the Sky Cities would disappear; if the number exceeded ten thousand, the sky itself would be overrun by demons!
Thankfully, such terrifying creatures were not numerous. According to known records, Magic Dragons had never exceeded five hundred in number over the last hundred years. When spread across the whole world, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Unless one was particularly unlucky, a lifetime might pass without encountering one.
However, this time, Rocky, Karina, and the others were extraordinarily unlucky—they not only encountered the rare Magic Dragons, but dozens of them all at once!
What did it mean to face dozens of Magic Dragons?
Sorry, there were no precedent events in known history to draw upon, so there was no concept to describe it!
And what did it mean for dozens of Magic Dragons to besiege a large Sky City together?
Sorry, but that notion was so fantastical that even those with the wildest imaginations had never considered it.
Yet today, Rocky and Karina witnessed this once-in-a-century spectacle!
They saw, on the distant horizon, dozens of Magic Dragons continuously circling the large Sky City, opening their massive jaws to emit deafening roars while spewing giant fireballs. These fireballs crashed into the Sky City’s Defensive Net like meteors, lighting it up with flashes of brilliant colors.
The Defensive Net of the large Sky City was the only thing that could withstand such a fierce assault. If it were a smaller Sky City, like Thunderhawk City or Rose City, there was no need to think about it—the Defensive Net would shatter instantly under such an intense barrage.
But even a large Sky City would have no issues facing the attack of one Magic Dragon, or even two; however, facing a fierce onslaught from dozens of Magic Dragons like now, it could only hold for a brief moment, and certainly couldn’t withstand it indefinitely.
Thus, not long after, Rocky and the rest saw countless tiny black dots flying out from the Defensive Net.
These black dots were warships!
Because the distance was too great, the warships over a hundred meters long became mere dots in the eyes of Rocky and his party. Although it wasn’t easy to make out the details, they knew those dots must represent the fleet of the finest warships.
Given the strength of a large Sky City, its fleet would surely not be mainly composed of Reconnaissance Ships. Even the basic ships would be Escort Ships at least, and the quality of the fleet would not be below the third generation. No, even an ordinary large Sky City’s fleet would be entirely formed of fifth-generation warships!
As for the quantity of the fleet, there was even less to say. Due to the great distance, Rocky and the others could clearly see that the black dots flying out from the Defensive Net quickly surpassed a hundred, then two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred, nine hundred…!
In just a few minutes, more than a thousand warships had flown out from the Defensive Net!
Without a doubt, this unnamed Sky City was also not to be trifled with, because even among large Sky Cities, those that could muster a fleet of over a thousand ships were formidable, and could even be described as behemoths. This Sky City was one such giant.
And when over a thousand warships flew out of the Defensive Net, the battle between the two sides immediately commenced with gunfire!
From that moment on, the sky was continually ablaze with flashes of light, which were not from the Magic Cannons but the light of warships disintegrating and exploding in mid-air after being destroyed!
There was no helping it; the number of Magic Dragons was too great. If there were only one Magic Dragon, no matter how enormous it might claim to be, a fleet of a thousand warships could turn it into a sieve. But now, there were dozens of Magic Dragons rampaging across the sky, unstoppable. Thus, the battle had barely begun when the fleet suffered heavy losses.
“`
However, one should not underestimate the power of these thousands of warships; although the fleet continued to be destroyed as the battle began, under the fierce bombardment of over a thousand warships, the Magic Dragons couldn’t possibly remain unscathed forever.
In fact, after about ten minutes of combat, the first Magic Dragon was shot down from the sky, followed shortly by the second, the third, the fourth, and more and more Magic Dragons started being downed during the fight.
“Is that…”
When another Magic Dragon was shot down, Rocky was stunned. He couldn’t quite understand how that Magic Dragon died. In his eyes, it clearly tried to escape due to severe injuries and had already left the combat zone, but it fell straight to the ground while in mid-flight without any warning.
“It’s the Void Magic Warriors.”
At this moment, Karina commented from beside him, and Rocky suddenly realized that it could indeed be the work of Void Magic Warriors, as they were too far from the battlefield. In everyone’s eyes, even the hundreds of meters long warships were just tiny dots, making the Void Magic Warriors completely invisible.
But thinking that a Void Magic Warrior had killed the Magic Dragon, Rocky found it somewhat unbelievable—that was a Magic Dragon, after all! So he turned his head to glance at Karina.
“Void Magic Warriors… can they kill a Magic Dragon?”
“Yes.”
Nodding, Karina stated with certainty, “If they’re wearing the 5th generation top Special Armor and have plenty of experience, it’s entirely possible for a Void Magic Warrior to fight and kill a Magic Dragon alone.”
“……”
Hearing this, Rocky nodded and then took a deep breath before turning his gaze back to the battlefield.
At this point, the battlefield had entered a deadlock phase, with Magic Dragons being killed one after another and the fleet suffering equally massive losses. In just a short few dozen minutes of battle, the fleet sent from Sky City had already lost hundreds of warships.
Despite the heavy losses, the fleet gradually took control of the situation, and it seemed only a matter of time before the remaining Magic Dragons were completely driven away.
But at that moment, a series of roars came once again from the distance, followed by a new wave of Magic Dragons flying in from the far horizon and joining the siege on Sky City!
“My God… this, this…!”
As a new group of Magic Dragons appeared, with their number still amounting to dozens, Rocky, Karina, and everyone else nearby took a collective sharp intake of breath!
What in the world was happening?
Were all the Magic Dragons in the world gathering together tonight to besiege this very Sky City?
Why a large number of Magic Dragons had appeared and why they had targeted this Sky City were questions that Rocky and the others couldn’t answer. They only knew that as soon as the second wave of Magic Dragons appeared and instantly joined the battlefield, they completely lost control of the situation.
With the second wave of Magic Dragons joining the fray, a series of explosions lit up the sky as countless warships were destroyed under the assault of the Magic Dragons. In just minutes, the fleet that had once numbered in the five to six hundreds was nearly wiped out, and then dozens of Magic Dragons began attacking the large Sky City together!
So many Magic Dragons launching an attack at once caused the Sky City’s Defensive Net, the key to its survival, to hold out for only a few minutes before being breached. With this last barrier gone, the Magic Dragons swiftly flew above Sky City, unleashing fireballs at will.
In an instant, Sky City was ablaze with fire, and although far away, Rocky and the others felt as if they could hear the screams of the city’s residents. Unrelated as they were, the thought of a hundred thousand residents dying under the attack of Magic Dragons caused them an indescribable pain in their hearts.
It was over…
This Sky City… was finished…
Following the breach of the Defensive Net, this large Sky City was doomed. It might still be floating in the sky for the moment, but once the city’s center Super Crystal was destroyed, the Sky City would plummet from the sky, a fate that was only a matter of time.
In reality, that time did not drag on for long. Twenty minutes? No, it was probably just a dozen minutes later that this large Sky City, with at least a hundred thousand residents, began to tilt slowly in mid-air and then plunged directly from the sky…!
A Sky City, a large Sky City with a hundred thousand residents, was destroyed under the siege of dozens of Magic Dragons!
And after the destruction of Sky City, the dozens of gathered Magic Dragons dispersed into the air, each flying away in different directions.
“This is bad!”
The sight of Sky City’s destruction was so shocking that Rocky and the others were left stunned, but as the Magic Dragons scattered, the dazed crowd finally snapped back to reality, and immediately realized that something terrible was unfolding!
Among the many Magic Dragons flying off in different directions, three of them were headed straight for their location!
