Soon, as the sun rose, a group of fully-armed magicians arrived at the island.
"Alright, everyone, I think we all know what we're going to encounter next."
The leader of the magicians seemed a little excited and nervous. Given his status, this might seem a little embarrassing, but no one present would laugh at him. After all, they were the same. Just looking at the huge black figure at the end of the island was enough to make them nervous. They did not have the time to worry about others at this time.
Almost all the people present were famous magicians from various countries. Among them, there was no lack of family members who stood at the top of the magic world like the Ten Masters of Japan. Even so, fighting a dragon still made them extremely nervous and uneasy. After all, this was unprecedented. No one knew what kind of power the dragon had, and whether they could really complete the mission this time. But of course, it was useless to talk about this now...
"Then, let's act according to the plan we've agreed on."
Long before they came to the island, the magicians had already come up with a plan. They had also understood the terrain of the island and formulated a battle plan.
According to the plan, the 30 magicians were divided into three groups, with Group A having the largest number of people. They were mainly responsible for attracting the attention of the dragon head-on. Group B was responsible for searching for traces of Fangzheng on the island. After all, not everyone had the courage to challenge a dragon head-on. Instead of challenging a terrifying behemoth, they felt that it was more convenient to find someone else to deal damage. If they could find Fangzheng and defeat him, it would also be considered a victory.
As for Group C, they were responsible for stealing the crystals. According to the plan, after Group A attracted the dragon's attention, Group C would steal the crystals while the dragon was not paying attention and then leave the island.
The entire island was monitored by drones and satellites, and it would also be broadcasted live to the world. For these magicians, if they could perform well in the battle against the dragon, they would instantly become world-famous.
Of course, if they made a fool of themselves, then...
Angelina was in Group A. Her magic was not good at sneaking around. Frontal assaults were her specialty. Although Group B also invited her to join, she would rather face a dragon than fight with Fangzheng. The battle that night had traumatized her too much. Ever since she became a caster, Angelina had never lost so badly in a duel.
The feeling of not being able to fight back was terrible. If the opponent was a dragon, he might be able to let it go. But against an opponent who was also a human, losing to such an extent was simply unacceptable.
The island wasn't as big as the one that housed the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, but it wasn't exactly a small island either. The dragon was located in a volcanic basin in the middle of the island. When Angelina and the others passed through the forest and arrived at their destination, the first thing they saw was the dragon coiled up and sleeping soundly.
"… … It's really huge up close … …"
Angelina sucked in a breath of cold air as she stared at the motionless black dragon with its eyes closed. Its head alone was the size of a house. Although it looked like it was in a deep sleep, every time it inhaled and exhaled, it would spew out a foul and violent gust of air. It was a sight to behold.
"I've seen it in movies before. Back then, I thought it was just a fantasy of ordinary people."
The other Magician also gripped his CAD tightly, his face pale.
"What do we do now … Are we really going to provoke it?"
Although they had seen it through satellites and drones before, only when they were in front of the dragon with their own eyes did they feel how insignificant they were …
"Cheer up, we're casters too!"
Another Mage mustered up his courage and scolded in a low voice.
"Our ancestors also fought against dragons, so of course we can do it too. Have you all forgotten those myths and legends? Humans can fight against dragons not by brute force, but by wisdom! "
Hearing this, the other Mages came back to their senses and regained their courage.
"Yes, that's right. Our goal is to lure the dragon away, not to kill it … Everyone, first, prepare your flying spells. Then, according to the plan, I'll launch the first attack, then we'll spread out under the cover of the forest. Attack from all sides and try to attract its attention. Once Team C is done stealing the crystals, we can retreat. "
Hearing the order from the leader of the Mages, the others nodded. After Fangzheng developed the universal flying spell, basically all the Mages in the world now knew how to use it. They immediately activated their spells and quietly approached the dragon. Then, the leader of the Mages raised the CAD in his hand and waved it forward.
Boom!!!
Soon, a high-temperature beam of light burst out and hit the dragon's head. This blow was strong enough to penetrate a warship, but when it hit the dragon's body, it didn't even scratch its skin. It only emitted a wisp of black smoke.
But that was enough, because the black dragon, who was attacked, opened its eyes and looked up at the crowd.
"Retreat immediately!!"
Although they were already very nervous in front of the dragon, when the dragon really opened its eyes and stared at them, they still felt an indescribable fear.
The fact that they could open their mouths and give orders under the dragon's gaze instead of collapsing to the ground in fear was enough to prove that these Mages were quite strong themselves.
However, just as the Mages flew into the air and tried to disperse, they saw the black dragon suddenly speak. Then, a deep voice appeared in their minds.
"How lucky. Usually, I have to leave the nest to find food."
The voice was so gloomy and deep, like a heavy hammer directly hitting the Mages' hearts. Hearing this voice, the Mages were suddenly shocked.
"This dragon can actually speak!?"
At this moment, all the Mages panicked. They originally thought that the dragon in front of them was just a monster. Even if it had wisdom, it would not be a match for humans. However, what they did not expect was that this dragon could actually speak!?
This situation was completely different. If this dragon could not speak, then it was just a beast. Even if it had great power, its wisdom was very limited. But if this dragon not only could speak, but could even communicate with them, then it was a different matter. This meant that the wisdom of this dragon was not much worse than that of humans, maybe even better!
In this way, whether their previous rough plan could work or not was another matter!
"You have to understand your situation, mortal!"
Along with this sentence, the black dragon opened its mouth abruptly. At the same time, it let out a soul-shaking roar. When this roar sounded, the Mages closest to the black dragon seemed to have completely lost their minds. They completely forgot their mission, turned around, and screamed in an attempt to escape. But at the next moment, a huge tail swept across and sent these unlucky Mages flying.
"Retreat! Retreat! Hide in the forest!"
At this moment, the leading Mage was equally shocked. But he quickly gave the order and led the others into the forest. Angelina, on the other hand, raised the staff in her hand and launched an attack at the black dragon. Shortly after, a plasma beam whizzed out and struck the black dragon again. But even a full-powered attack from a strategic-level Mage couldn't cause the slightest damage to the black dragon. On the contrary, it seemed to be completely enraged.
"You will pay for your arrogance!"
Along with this sentence, the black dragon spread its wings and leaped into the air!
"Now's the time!"
Seeing the black dragon leave, the leader of Team C's eyes lit up.
"Everyone, follow me. Now that the dragon is lured away by Team A, let's find the crystal and take it away!"
Soon, another group of people also moved quickly and ran towards the place where the black dragon was previously curled up. As expected, when they arrived at the black dragon's resting place, they saw a crystal that was half the height of a person in the middle of the ground. Seeing this, the leader of Team C let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, let's move it away!"
At the same time, Angelina, who had attacked the black dragon, immediately turned around and ran. The moment she was stared at by the black dragon, she felt her mind go completely blank. Her pride as a Sirius was completely thrown to the back of her mind. At this moment, her survival instinct seemed to replace her rationality and took control of her body, causing her to turn around and run for her life uncontrollably.
But soon, Angelina realized that something was wrong. She originally thought that the dragon would chase after her, but … the dragon didn't seem to be following her.
Thinking of this, Angelina slowed down and quietly increased her altitude. She hid in the bushes and looked around. But what surprised her was that no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see the black dragon's shadow.
Where was the black dragon?
Perhaps sensing something, Angelina subconsciously raised her head to look at the sky. Then … she froze.
The black dragon was floating in the sky, staring at the ground. Then, it raised its head.
The black dragon took a deep breath.
The next moment, flames from the sky erupted and enveloped the entire island, turning it into a sea of fire.
