The consumption of dragon crystals was nothing. The Ironblood Grand Duke owned Dragon Island, and it was estimated that the number of dragon crystals left behind from ancient times would make even the gods jealous. Moreover, it was only a level-10 attack, and it was unknown how long it would take for a dragon crystal to be used up.
The way dragon crystals stored energy was different from magic cores. A dragon crystal of the same level was worth hundreds of times more than a magic core.
The Ironblood Grand Duke adopted the method of attacking one by one, using the magic cannons to pin down the enemies, and then concentrating the powerhouses to destroy the magic towers one by one.
Without the magic towers, the mages of the Devil's Horn were simply not the opponents of the Cloud Flow Army. The Ironblood Grand Duke's subordinates also had powerful equipment. Among the four level-10 Great Mages, two of them had magic books, and the other two had magic staffs that could amplify magic.
Of course, it was not as exaggerated as the Elemental Emissaries, but the magic staffs that could amplify magic were already considered legendary.
There were more than a hundred magic towers on the Devil's Horn island, but there were only three level-9 and above. In other words, there were only three level-10 Great Mages on the Devil's Horn island. The Myers Continent's strength had advanced, but the Devil's Horn island did not benefit much. Many people advanced to Archmage, but only two advanced to Great Mage.
The power of the three Great Mages was scattered all over the island. Of course, the level-10 Great Mages didn't care about the magic cannons, and they could still fight back. However, there were three level-10 Great Mages keeping an eye on the three magic towers, and the magic towers' counterattacks were withstood. After fighting for a few hours, the magic towers had only destroyed a few dozen magic cannons.
The magic towers were pushed down one by one, and after the mages in the towers died, the huge puppets immediately smashed the magic towers, allowing the Predators to plunder.
Salin did not bring many people to the island. He only had an Insect Angel army composed of 20,000 Imps, which could not be used here. He simply let the Ironblood Grand Duke plunder to his heart's content while he stood by and watched. If he released the Thunder Puppets, he could also gain a rich harvest. However, Salin's thoughts of plundering had faded, and he was studying how to deal with ordinary magic towers.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Ironblood Grand Duke was wreaking havoc on the Devil's Horn. That was the result of ample preparation. The number of Ironblood Warriors that had landed on the island had already exceeded a thousand. A thousand Rank-9 Warriors was equivalent to an army of a million.
"It seems that the Devil's Horn has indeed been annexed by the Elemental Hand. The arrangement here …" Salin shook his head. Apart from these three Level-10 Magisters, there were no other elites in the Devil's Horn. Salin could also determine that the remaining Mages were people with no future. If the Devil's Horn wasn't responsible for the defense of the sea, the Elemental Hand would have destroyed it completely, not leaving this island behind.
The Ironblood Grand Duke nodded. The casualties were smaller than expected, and the damage to the magic cannons wasn't as great. The strength of the Devil's Horn Tribe did not advance, but instead retreated. Defeating them was no longer a problem.
He had invested a lot of money and materials into this attack. If he failed, the loss would be huge. Now that the Devil's Horn could be taken down, he could at least destroy it, or simply occupy it as a bridgehead to contain Alchemy City in the future.
Suddenly, from the distant sea, two figures flew over. Salin's Elemental Eyes had been observing. Seeing two experts at least Level-10 appear, Salin called out and went to meet them.
At this time, the Ironblood Grand Duke put away his longbow and took out a Dragon Spear. Then, he summoned a purple-gold giant dragon, rode on it, and soared into the sky.
Dragon Knight!
The Ironblood Grand Duke was actually a Dragon Knight!
The purple-gold giant dragon he was riding on was a rare breed of giant dragons. It was known for its defense and was not as good as some dragons that were good at magic. However, as the mount of a Dragon Knight, the purple-gold giant dragon could provide the Dragon Knight with strong defense and unparalleled life force. If the purple-gold giant dragon didn't die, it would be difficult for the Dragon Knight to die.
The strangest thing about this purple-gold giant dragon was that there was a huge seal symbol on the dragon's forehead. The Ironblood Grand Duke had used some unknown method to seal the strength of a powerful giant dragon, allowing it to move freely on the Myers Continent without triggering the judgment of the rules of the plane.
This purple-gold giant dragon seemed to be about Level-12.
Salin felt the pressure on his back. The magic booster flew up and formed a huge black ring behind him. Twenty-four black crystals rotated slowly, providing him with powerful ball-shaped lightning at any time.
The Ironblood Grand Duke was originally worried about Salin's safety. The two people flying from the west were both in the True Martial rank. The flying speed of the True Martial was still faster than that of a Magus. He was afraid that Salin would get close to him. If he was accidentally killed, he would suffer a great loss. With an ally like Salin, he would definitely not be short of resources. If he didn't have Salin's support, he didn't know how long he would have to prepare to attack Alchemy City.
If Rex was in charge of two countries, he might not be able to sign an alliance with him. After all, Rex's surname was Glücos, and he had a huge family behind him. On the other hand, Salin was alone. Although he had the support of the Sorcerers of Seriger Island, they were not related by blood.
The Sorcerers of Seriger Island would not think of conquering the continent, nor would they want to be an emperor.
However, seeing Salin's magic booster, the Ironblood Grand Duke regretted summoning the giant dragon. A Level-10 Magus with a magic booster would be much stronger than a Level-10 True Martial. Salin was such a smart person, how could he let a True Martial get close to him?
However, since he had already exposed his strength, the Ironblood Grand Duke decided to end the battle quickly. The purple-gold giant dragon below him roared angrily. The sound wave of the dragon's roar passed through Salin and directly attacked the two True Martial warriors flying towards him.
The two True Martial warriors couldn't help but stop in the air. A Level-12 purple-gold giant dragon was not something they could fight against. In that short moment, Salin's two lightning icicles had already hit their bodies.
Salin didn't aim for a one-hit kill. The two lightning icicles were aimed at the lower abdomen, which was the hardest to dodge.
Now, Salin only had two lightning icicles left. After hitting the two True Martial warriors, he dove down and stopped a hundred meters away from the sea. The two lightning icicles shot into the sea.
The seawater was filled with red blood. Salin jumped down without hesitation. There was another guy hiding in the sea. He was actually bleeding after being hit by the lightning icicles. This meant that this person could resist the burns of lightning.
He could resist burns, but he didn't know if he could resist paralysis. Salin didn't want to let this person go. This person hiding in the water didn't die after being hit by two lightning icicles. He was only injured. This made Salin nervous.
The Ironblood Grand Duke saw Salin jump into the water. His giant dragon had already arrived in front of the two True Martial warriors. Without using any skills, the purple-gold giant dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the two True Martial warriors.
The Purple-Gold Dragon made a swallowing motion, looking extremely satisfied. Following the Ironblood Grand Duke, it wasn't allowed to kill or eat any living creatures. This made it very depressed, but there was an exception. That was when the Ironblood Grand Duke was fighting someone. At this time, the Ironblood Grand Duke wouldn't stop it even if it wanted to slaughter an entire city.
After eating the two heavily injured humans, the purple-gold giant dragon followed Salin into the water. Salin's elemental eyes couldn't see what was happening under the sea, but the dragon could see very clearly. Salin's lightning icicles didn't hit a human, but a Crystal Sea Snake. There was another person hiding under the Crystal Sea Snake, ready to give Salin a fatal blow.
The purple-gold giant dragon knew that Salin wouldn't be in any danger. It rushed into the sea for the Crystal Sea Snake.
The Crystal Sea Snake was highly venomous, and its defense was comparable to that of a dragon. This kind of creature had never been below Rank 9. After being hit by Salin's lightning icicles, the Crystal Sea Snake fell into a state of paralysis and bled. To the purple-gold giant dragon, this snake was a hundred times more delicious than a human's food.
Dragons weren't afraid of poison. Sometimes, they would specially eat poisonous things to increase their strength. The purple-gold giant dragon was like this. The moment it entered the water, it released a dragon spell. The Crystal Sea Snake's body was violently torn apart by the water. Blood spurted out, and the body was also sucked in front of the purple-gold giant dragon.
In its paralysis, the Crystal Sea Snake looked at the purple-gold giant dragon in fear.
The Ironblood Grand Duke said, "Leave the magic core for Salin. That's his spoils of war!"
The purple-gold giant dragon understood the Ironblood Grand Duke's words. Although it was dissatisfied, it didn't dare to disobey. With a slight bite of its dragon teeth, the Crystal Sea Snake's body was dismembered. The flesh and blood of the poison sac were all swallowed into its stomach, leaving behind a set of guge, snakeskin, and magic core.
The Ironblood Grand Duke raised his dragon spear and took the three items in his hand. On the other side, Salin's battle had also ended.
Salin released a Thunder Phantom. Suddenly, twelve clones of Salin appeared in the water. The assassin hiding in the water subconsciously tried to distinguish them, and immediately bled from his orifices.
Salin released the scroll in his hand. It was an ice bullet, burning with blue flames.
The assassin's body flashed with white light, and he recovered. Such a huge damage to the soul seemed to be a small injury to this assassin. A dagger appeared in his hand. He threw it, piercing the ice bullet.
The dagger drew an arc in the water, wanting to continue attacking Salin. However, it was burned by the blue flames on the ice bullet. This flame could continue burning in the water, so its temperature was unimaginable.
All of Salin's phantoms had already surrounded this person. The assassin was at a loss. All the phantoms couldn't be distinguished with the naked eye, and if he used his mental power to investigate, he would cause serious damage to himself.
As he hesitated, the Ironblood Grand Duke's purple-gold giant dragon had already arrived in front of him. The giant dragon opened its mouth and bit down.
The assassin's body rolled in the water, trying to escape. A waterspout had already formed near the purple-gold giant dragon's mouth, trapping him. When a dragon wanted to eat, it didn't just hunt like a magical beast. It could also use magic.
