The huge barrier caused even the sunlight to dim. Its size was astonishing, and it even enveloped an area of more than 20 meters outside the city walls. From afar, it looked like a huge egg that had been placed on the ground.
Within the barrier, faint black smoke was seeping out from the ground. Roddy looked around. At first, he didn't know what it was, but when he saw his [Status Bar], he understood how terrifying this barrier was.
'Shadow Lord Projection' Barrier (Incomplete): Seal off an area, allowing the Shadow Lord's energy to be projected onto this plane.
Effect: Shadow spell damage increased by 500%, casting time reduced by 80%, and the density of all other elements within the barrier reduced by 90%.
The icon of the barrier was orange, meaning that this was a 'Legendary' barrier. It was a formation that could only be constructed by units that had advanced to Level-60 and above.
At this moment, the black smoke that lingered around was not a gas, but an extremely dense shadow element!
This terrifyingly high level formation had obviously been constructed in advance. Roddy almost immediately understood that its creator was the Shadow Dragon that had been attacked by the Frost Dragon.
After understanding all this, Roddy immediately turned to look inside the fortress, and saw the scene of the Frost Dragon being blasted away.
"Boom!"
A huge crater appeared on one side of the city wall after the dragon's body crashed into it, and a series of explosions followed.
"Let's try attacking the barrier by force?"
Sodelor ignored the battle within the fortress. He slashed at the barrier with his sword twice, but found that not a single crack could be seen. Instead, his hand hurt from the impact.
"A Mythical barrier. Even a dragon might not be able to break it."
Roddy's brain worked furiously, but he didn't know what he could do. In the end, he could only point to the drainage at the edge of the road outside the fortress and say, "Hide first!"
Although this was a helpless decision, reality was cruel. In the face of the power of the Dragons' spells, they could be injured and killed by the violent impact at any time.
Just as Roddy and the others quickly found cover and hid, the battle between the two dragons in the fortress had reached its climax.
"Despicable Merinsera! So the Shadow Dragon can only rely on these conspiracies?! "
The Frost Dragon's voice was no longer arrogant, but rather panicked. In fact, it had been lurking nearby when Lucius and the others attacked Merlinsera's illusion … It was only when Merlinsera started chanting the Dragon incantation that it seized the best opportunity to attack.
After a series of attacks, it had already inflicted several wounds on Merlinsera's body. She thought the battle would end there, but to her surprise, Merlinsera had lured her into a trap at the cost of severe injuries!
"Despicable?"
This was Merlinsera's only response. "Wissam, I'll pay you back for all the pain you've caused me!"
"You —"
Wissam tried to struggle, but his frost spells were no longer as powerful as before due to the sharp drop in the elemental density. The condensed shield could not block any attacks, and the spells he cast were of no threat to Merlinsera. In just two rounds, he had fallen into an absolute passive position.
After his body was thrown onto the city wall, a series of shadow arrows the size of carriages bombarded him like a storm. Amidst the muffled sounds, large pieces of dragon scales splattered, and blue blood splattered everywhere. Wissam tried to get up, but because of the endless shadow spells, he couldn't even stand up!
The sunken city wall could not withstand the attacks of this level and began to crumble.
In order to set up this trap, Merlinsera had been searching for recharged crystals in the ruins for the past month. But after encountering the "variable" of the Holy Assembly, she could only choose to beat them at their own game. At the cost of a round of fierce attacks, she lured Wissam into the "semi-finished" magic circle.
Because the crystals hadn't reached the ideal value, the magic circle wasn't perfect. But it was enough to deal with the giant dragon in front of him.
However, although Merlinsera had successfully turned the tables, she had paid a heavy price: the healing magic circle on her abdomen was broken, the wound had completely ruptured, and half of her body was covered in frost. Some parts of her body had suffered severe frostbite, and even showed signs of necrosis …
Even so, the shadow dragon's eyes were still calm.
For the sake of revenge, she was willing to bear any pain and sacrifice.
"You lunatic!"
Vaissam sounded exasperated, but he was hit in the head while he was trying to dodge. The powerful Shadow Corrosion blinded him in one eye, and his howl of pain echoed in the barrier. He wanted to run away, but just as he was about to cast a spell to hide, Merinthra's cold voice extinguished his last glimmer of hope.
"This magic circle can only be destroyed from the outside. You can't escape."
The ice dragon cast an "Ice Barrier" in vain, trying to completely freeze his body in ice. But the barrier that was usually "immune to all damage" completely shattered under Merlinsera's merciless "Finger of Death".
"Shadow Spirit Seal."
Dozens of black chains as thick as a dragon's tail emerged from the ground and instantly bound the ice dragon tightly. When his wings were forced to retract, Wissam could no longer dodge and fell to the ground with a thud …
"You are a disgrace to the Dragons! The shadow dragon must be eliminated! You — "
Merlinsera didn't attack with her magic anymore. Instead, she personally came in front of the blinded ice dragon, raised her dragon claw, and smashed it down.
"Crack!"
Wissam's curses and curses stopped abruptly. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only desperately struggle against the shackles around his neck …
Merlinsera raised her dragon claw for the second time, but before she could land it, the magic circle beside her suddenly cracked. The "Shadow Lord's Projection" magic circle suddenly dimmed, and then completely disappeared!
The shadow energy that kept gushing out from the ground immediately stopped, and the chains that bound the giant dragon instantly lost their binding force. Wissam, who was struggling frantically, suddenly broke the chain around his neck and bit Merlinsera's neck!
This situation was unexpected. Although the "magic boost" brought by the magic circle had disappeared, the shadow element was still strong. Merlinsera tried hard to form a "Shadow Shield" around her neck to prevent her opponent from biting her while she desperately smashed her dragon claws on Wissam's throat …
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
At this time, the stalemate had completely turned into a life-and-death battle between the two dragons. They were attacking each other's vital parts with all their might and had no time to care about what was happening around them.
Gradually, the Frost Dragon's body began to lose strength. Just as Merlinsera was about to run out of energy, a ray of light suddenly struck the side of her body …
"Boom!"
Wissam loosened his mouth and fell to the ground, while Merlinsera flew out. Lucius, who was holding the [Tooth of Mourning], removed the "Invisibility Shield" on the surface of his body, and he could no longer hide the crazy smile on his face.
When the sandpiper and the clam fought, the fisherman reaped the benefits. Lucius, who had taken a risk, had finally become the biggest winner of this battle!
Lucius had used the [Tooth of Mourning] to break the incomplete "Shadow Lord's Projection" magic circle from the outside. After completing the final blow, the dragon's tooth cracked into pieces.
But he did not care about losing this magic tool. Because in front of him were two dragons who had lost the ability to resist after being seriously injured!
Both of the Ice Dragon's eyes were blind, and the flesh around its throat was twisted. It was still bound by the shadow chains, and it was already gasping for air … Not far away, the Shadow Dragon was covered in wounds, and its injuries were even more terrifying than the Ice Dragon's. It was in a coma, and its breathing was weak. Obviously, it would not last much longer.
Lucius could not suppress the joy on his face. He raised his hand to cast "Arcane Restraint," but then he frowned. Because the range of the "Shadow Lord's Projection" was too large, the surrounding "elemental density" did not immediately return to normal, so the power of the arcane spells was severely affected.
But this was not a problem. After his subordinates' magic power recovered a little, these two dragons would become the most abundant harvest of the Sacred Assembly in the past hundred years!
Taking a deep breath, Lucius tried to calm the excitement in his heart. He cast one arcane spell after another to strengthen the restraints on the two dragons. He knew very well that if he completed this mission, his position in the Sacred Assembly would be unshakable.
*****
Just as Lucius was casting spells on the two dragons, Roddy, who was hiding a hundred meters away, happened to witness everything through the city gate.
Holding the Thorn of Ice Crystals tightly, Roddy first waved his hand to have the team isolated by the boundary in the distance crawl on the ground and wait for orders. He then crouched down and quickly calculated the situation.
Roddy never thought that the battle would be reversed like this, and that the Sacred Assembly mage would become the "biggest winner."
Judging from the speed and power of the opponent's spells, Roddy could confirm that the opponent was around Level-50. In terms of strength, he was absolutely powerful. If he were to fight the opponent one-on-one, he would probably be killed in a second.
No matter how one looked at it, Rody's only option was to escape.
This seemed to be the wisest way: preserve their strength and wait for revenge when they had enough strength. But in fact, Roddy knew that it was impossible for them to escape silently without the help of spells.
If the dozen of them made even the slightest movement, the opponent would definitely discover them. And if they waited here, it would be no different from waiting for death. There was no place to hide, and the only intact stone houses were still in the fortress. As long as they went over, they would definitely be discovered.
If they escaped, they might survive, but everyone else, including Akasha, Sodelor, and Natha, had no hope of survival.
Roddy retracted his body, took a deep breath, and suddenly found a flashing debuff on the Status Bar.
'Elemental Exhaustion': The elemental density is too low. Except for shadow spells, the effects of other spells are reduced by 85%.
The duration was five minutes, and when Roddy observed it, the '85%' value flashed and became '84%.'
