Chapter 1111: Chapter 1109: The Formation of the Giant Dragon Legion

The Giant Dragons swooped down, and only then did the Deceitful Shadows below realize the dragons were descending from the sky.

The reaction of these Deceitful Shadows was quick; some raised their weapons immediately to prepare for battle.

However, the number of Giant Dragons descending was quite large, and they were already battle-ready as they charged.

At about thirty meters above the ground, they began to unleash their Dragon Breath.

Their Dragon Breath quickly ignited a wide area of flames, enveloping all Deceitful Shadows below.

The potency of the flames was substantial, instantly incinerating all Level 5 and below Deceitful Shadows into ash.

Those above Level 5 managed to survive the Dragon Breath due to their strong Life Force.

Yet their condition was not favorable.

This time, the dragons that came were not only Black Dragons.

There was a mix of all sorts of dragons.

Among them was a type known as Fire Dragon.

These Fire Dragons were not particularly large, nor were their close combat abilities strong; merely a bit stronger than the weak Red Dragons Gu Xi had encountered before.

However, they possessed a major trait, which was their grasp of one or two fire-related magics.

Among them was a spell known as the Dragon Flame Continuation Technique.

This spell was prepared specifically for the dragons.

Its effect was simple.

All fire-type Dragon Breath emitted by the dragons could continue for an additional three to ten seconds.

With mastery of the Dragon Flame Continuation Technique, Fire Dragons were the best support within the dragon group.

Most dragons were willing to move with Fire Dragons.

Following the initial Dragon Breath salvo, the Fire Dragons activated the Dragon Flame Continuation Technique on the spot.

With this technique, flames continuously rained down from the sky as the dragons passed, appearing like slow-motion afterimages.

The power of these flames equaled the original Dragon Breath, and they lasted for another three to ten seconds.

For those Deceitful Shadows that hadn’t been burned to ash initially, these extra seconds proved fatal.

Upon contact with the flames, weaker Deceitful Shadows were instantly incinerated, while the remaining ones only endured through sheer force of Life Force.

They lacked abilities to counter the flames and Dragon Breath.

With the added three to ten seconds of Dragon Breath exposure.

The duration of damage from Dragon Breath greatly increased.

Under the pressure of this Dragon Breath attack, another batch of less powerful Deceitful Shadows perished.

Only Deceitful Shadows close to Level 10 or those on a Defensive Blood Bull route survived the Dragon Breath.

However, their numbers were quite small, with barely one hundred and thirty Deceitful Shadows remaining alive under the Dragon Breath assault.

This was a particularly small number.

Bear in mind that this was a gathering place for Deceitful Shadows destined for attacking the city.

There were at least eight to nine thousand Deceitful Shadows gathered here.

Yet the dragons that flew over were fewer than a hundred, and with just one wave of impact, they reduced the Deceitful Shadows to merely one percent.

Sometimes, when elite troops hold the advantage, reason is abandoned.

At this point, the weak Red Dragons finally descended from the sky, pouncing on the surviving Deceitful Shadows.

The weak Red Dragons coming down were truly lacking.

They had none of the prior Dragon Flame Continuation Technique, nor did they benefit from the charge effect behind the large dragon group.

It was truly a case of one misstep leading to further delays.

These thirty-odd Red Dragons descended, directly facing over a hundred half-crippled Deceitful Shadows.

If these weak Red Dragons showed courage, closed their eyes, and unleashed their Dragon Breath, they might have a chance to kill some of the Deceitful Shadows.

In doing so, their slow approach would appear as if they were strategically executing a second wave of attacks.

However, these Red Dragons lacked such bravery.

Seeing over a hundred surviving Deceitful Shadows below, they hesitated in mid-air.

This hesitation gave the Deceitful Shadows below an opportunity, and several Level 10-plus Deceitful Shadows leapt up, pouncing onto the Red Dragons.

Once the Deceitful Shadows were upon them, the weak Red Dragons finally reacted, first launching indiscriminate sprays of Dragon Breath, then charging into the Deceitful Shadow horde for melee combat.

Up in the sky, the dragons preparing for a second wave of impact, looked down at the chaos, confused.

They were puzzled by the situation.

A simple additional wave of Dragon Breath would have completed the task here.

What were these weak Red Dragons doing, engaging in close combat with the Deceitful Shadows?

All dragons turned to look at the more sensible Red Dragons among the group.

Those Red Dragons were speechless.

How could they know what was happening; the path chosen by the weaker Red Dragons was the Magma Dragon path, separate from themselves, making it impossible for them to understand their thinking.

What to do?

The dragons exchanged glances and ultimately decided to charge down.

Close combat it was; after all, the dragons were strong in melee as well.

Excluding the Titans, their melee prowess was second only to the Behemoths.

As the dragons plunged down, they immediately locked onto the remaining Deceitful Shadows.

There was no Dragon Breath involved now, just an attack using dragon teeth and claws.

Under the assault of these dragons, the weak Red Dragons finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn’t want to be looked down upon by the dragons, so they continued to tear into the nearby Deceitful Shadows.

With their tearing attacks, the heavily injured Deceitful Shadows were dying even faster.

However, none of the dragons noticed that the Deceitful Shadows, upon dying, didn’t transform into various sizes of Deceitful Energy Pearls like those burned by Dragon Breath initially.

Instead, they transformed into a type of mysterious black liquid.

These liquids, upon touching the Deceitful Energy Pearls, would rapidly dissolve them, finally permeating into the ground as black liquid.

Though the quantity of black liquid was small, it seemed to have spirituality, not intending to entangle with the dragons further.

After devouring some of the Deceitful Energy Pearls, it quickly disappeared underground.

After defeating the remaining Deceitful Shadows with melee combat, the Holy Dragon flew in front of the weak Red Dragons and roared at them.

Yet this Holy Dragon was neither a Commander nor a Hero.

The only reason it stepped forward to speak was due to the Holy Dragon’s personality and strength.

If it weren’t for the lack of a leader among the dragon group, the Holy Dragon wouldn’t care about this matter.

After speaking a few words to the weak Red Dragons, the Holy Dragon led the other dragons back into the sky.

They planned to cleanse the area with Dragon Breath, dealing with the leftover Deceitful Energy Pearls scattered on the ground.
