Novel Full Chapter 205 A Matter of Life and Death!
Discovering that among the scattered Magic Dragons, three were flying in their direction, Rocky and Karina and the others immediately panicked and the six Void Magic Warriors instantly flew out in two directions.
Karina led her guards to fly towards Code Rose, while Rocky and Liliya headed to the Thunderhawk!
At this moment, they were flying at their fastest speed, even faster than when Rocky faced Baron Wolin or when Karina faced Kilov, as if they were exerting all their primal strength to return to their respective flagships.
“Descend! Descend! Fast! Quick!”
The moment he landed on the deck of the Thunderhawk, Rocky immediately shouted at the crew to make the Thunderhawk descend immediately.
At his roar, the crew was stunned because just moments ago, they were still trying to gain altitude with the Thunderhawk, why suddenly start descending?
Fortunately, Felly reacted quickly, snapping back to his senses almost instantly. He then loudly urged the crew to act, stopping the Thunderhawk from ascending and starting its rapid descent.
Meanwhile, Karina, who had returned to the Code Rose, was giving the same command, ordering the entire fleet to stop ascending and descend immediately.
Having witnessed a large Sky City get destroyed, Rocky and Karina deeply realized how terrifying Magic Dragons could be. Under such circumstances, how could they dare to let the fleet stay in the air? The only thing they could do was to have the fleet descend immediately, reduce the altitude, and then hope that the Magic Dragons didn’t have sharp enough vision to notice them.
Within a few minutes, the warships that were ascending constantly all descended to just mere tens of meters above the ground, already at the limit of how low they could go without actually landing.
In an unfortunate stroke of luck, the battlefield where the Magic Dragons and the large Sky City clashed was almost at the end of what everyone could see, so when the three Magic Dragons flew toward them, it would still take some time to get close, undoubtedly providing everyone a chance to hide.
And once the fleet had descended to low altitude, over a thousand people hid inside the cabins and were strictly ordered to maintain silence, forbidden to make any noise at all.
After that, a long wait began. The Guards and crew hiding in the cabins might not have witnessed the earlier devastating battle, but none of them were fools. They knew that whatever had terrified Rocky and Karina to such an extent must be a high-level demon, so everyone in the cabins remained silent, some even praying silently in their hearts, hoping that lady luck would favor them just a little.
In theory, given the speed of the Magic Dragons, it would take only about fifteen minutes for them to reach the fleet’s location, so whether it was life or death would be decided in just that short time. But perhaps because of too much tension and fear, these mere minutes felt longer than entire days.
“Captain… has it… has it passed already…?”
After what felt like an eternity hidden in the cabin, a Guard could no longer bear it; the immense psychological pressure made him sweat profusely, and he looked at his squad leader Sandro as he spoke.
“Don’t talk!”
Though he was also under great pressure and fear, Sandro still managed to remain relatively calm compared to others, glaring fiercely at the Guard who spoke, making him immediately shut up.
At this moment, a violent shaking suddenly occurred within the cabin, causing everyone inside to stagger and tumble as if in the midst of a great storm.
The Magic Dragons, they had arrived!
Although it felt like a long time to the people in the cabin, this was only their perception; in reality, it had only been a few minutes, and the Magic Dragons flying from a distance had just reached the airspace above the fleet!
At this instant, three enormous Magic Dragons hovered above the fleet, beating their wings slowly as they passed. Two were in front and one was behind, each over three hundred meters in length, their massive wings blotting out the sky, each flap causing gusts of wind.
The flying altitude of these three Magic Dragons wasn’t particularly high, only about three to five hundred meters above the ground, and they weren’t flying particularly fast, almost leisurely.
Because of this, as these three huge creatures slowly flew over the fleet, the hurricanes stirred by their wings immediately affected the ships below, buffeting the many warships that were suspended at a low altitude.
This was bad news!
At this time, the fleet was only a few dozen meters above the ground, and the strong wind blew, causing some warships to struggle to maintain stability, even showing signs of making an emergency landing!
“Don’t land… don’t land… please don’t land at this time!”
Even those inside the cabin, as soon as some seasoned old crew members felt the ship start to sway, understood what was happening, but regretfully, there was nothing they could do at the moment, other than pray ceaselessly in their hearts, praying that no warship would land at this time.
Falling from several dozen meters in the air, naturally, the warship wouldn’t sustain too much damage, but the noise generated could attract the attention of the Magic Dragons, and that would mean their end!
Fortunately, this time it seemed that Lady Luck had indeed cast a favorable glance their way, because amidst the hurricane, the few reconnaissance ships that appeared to be in extreme danger managed to maintain their stability, and the three Magic Dragons that flew over the fleet took no notice of them, and after a few moments had passed, they flew away…
“We’re safe…”
Rocky, hiding inside the captain’s cabin of the Thunderhawk, because of the wide field of view, was the first to see the Magic Dragons flying off into the distance, and he only breathed a long sigh of relief after the massive creatures had gradually moved away.
“Tell the crew we’re safe, but no one should make any loud noises.”
After heaving a sigh of relief, Rocky instructed Felly, who was next to him, then left the captain’s cabin with Liliya and flew out of the Thunderhawk’s defensive net.
As soon as the two flew out of the defensive net, Karina had already been waiting in mid-air, accompanied by her guard.
Clearly, due to this unexpected accident, their previous plans had been completely disrupted, and they had to decide, and do so immediately, what to do next.
Before this, they had planned to leisurely circle around the Traceless Battlefield and fly back to their own Sky City, but it seemed they couldn’t be so leisurely now. The dozens of Magic Dragons had just scattered, and if they continued to circle the Traceless Battlefield, they might encounter them again, even if the odds were only one percent, they couldn’t bear such serious consequences.
And don’t forget that Thunderhawk City and Rose City were located near the Traceless Battlefield! If the dispersed Magic Dragons accidentally ran into the two sky cities, it would be an unbearable disaster for Rocky and Karina, so they had to return to their cities as quickly as possible and leave this terrible place.
“Let’s go through the Traceless Battlefield; it’s the only safe place right now.”
“Agreed, the Traceless Battlefield has Magical Energy Storms, and the Magic Dragons wouldn’t dare to enter.”
After some discussion, Rocky and Liliya decided to lead the fleet back into the Traceless Battlefield. Returning via the battlefield was the quickest shortcut, and because of the Magical Energy Storms within it, the Magic Dragons definitely wouldn’t dare to enter, which made this route relatively the safest.
After making this decision, both parties returned to their respective flagships, preparing for the fleet to turn around and re-enter the Traceless Battlefield.
But at that moment, just as Rocky and Liliya had just returned to the deck, Felly, who was there to greet them, hadn’t even started to speak when she suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise and pointed emphatically behind them!
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Felly’s strange expression, Rocky quickly turned around and then saw a figure approaching rapidly from the distance.
In the blink of an eye, the figure that appeared out of nowhere was now above the Thunderhawk, and following that, it crashed heavily onto the deck…!
As they watched the figure fall onto the deck from the air, Rocky and the others rushed over without a moment of surprise, only to discover that the person was a Void Magic Warrior!
“Quick… go and notify the Sky Alliance… Tulip City… has been overrun!”
When Rocky and the others reached the Void Magic Warrior who had appeared so suddenly and helped him up from the deck, the severely injured Void Magic Armor managed to speak with a weak voice before he passed out.
In Sky Era, Year 117, October, a world-shocking event occurred — Tulip City, one of the last three cities on the land, had fallen!
