The Black Dragon was naturally Merril, who had the ability to shapeshift and had been secretly waiting outside Morning Star City for a long time.
The players summoned by the statue this time were all max-level Lower Silver-level players who had accepted the mission.
Myril was the NPC that could be easily … asked to join the fray. Naturally, he was the best trump card for the Players in this operation.
Hmm … The appearance fee was ten whole roasted lambs with honey sauce specially made by the northeastern brother.
After swallowing the golden God's Blood provided by Eve and digesting part of its energy, the Little Black Dragon had completely bid farewell to the Gold rank and became a true Legend.
No, perhaps calling it the Little Black Dragon was no longer appropriate.
At this moment, Merril's figure was definitely majestic even among the Legendary Black Dragons.
The Black Dragon brought immense pressure to the people.
Screams could be heard everywhere in Morning Star City.
Even the army and mercenaries stationed outside the city were in an uproar.
Of course, the former were vigilant, while the latter were excited.
After all … Slaying a dragon was something that every large mercenary group yearned for.
However, when the Black Dragon's Draconic Aura spread out and swept across the entire city, every mercenary group that was eager to give it a try calmed down …
"Le … Legend …"
Many high-ranking mercenaries looked at the huge Black Dragon in the sky, their faces pale as they spoke with difficulty.
The proud dragon head looked down at the shocked nobles and guards below, and the Draconic Aura made everyone tremble.
Under Merril's Draconic Aura, all Extraordinaries below high-ranking had completely lost their ability to resist …
There were even nobles who directly fell to the ground and peed in their pants.
Of course, Merril, who appeared above the city lord's residence, did not care about these useless people at all at this moment.
Only the figure of the Legendary-mage Conrad von Rosen was reflected in its water-tank-sized vertical pupils.
This was its first battle after becoming a Legend.
It was not only because of the ten whole roasted lambs that it accepted the players' request, but also because of the attraction of the battle.
The Black Dragon Merril's pupils flashed with excitement, and then it puffed up its cheeks and spat out the Acid Dragon Breath that it had been brewing for a long time at the Legendary-mage …
As the Dragon Breath attacked, Conrad's face showed a hint of seriousness.
He silently chanted an incantation, and his rough beard fluttered. Surging magic gathered in front of his chest, rolling up wind blades, and finally turning into a wind elemental shield that was more than ten meters tall.
The dragon breath arrived in the blink of an eye and gushed onto the shield. It was torn into bits of acid by the wind blades and splashed onto the ground, leaving behind pits that were constantly emitting white smoke.
Seeing that the old Mage blocked its Dragon Breath Dragon Breath attack attack, Conrad von Rosen's Draconic Dragon breath.
It let out a loud cry, and then its body slowly shrank until it was more than ten meters long. It then rushed towards the legendary mage …
Changing his own size at will was the ability that Merril had after becoming a Legend.
For the Megalosaurus, it was not better to be bigger in battle. Sometimes, when facing a smaller enemy, it was necessary to shrink its body for flexibility.
Seeing the Black Dragon swooping down, the Legendary-mage Conrad's expression became more and more serious.
The Megalosaurus was a creature that was very good at fighting beyond its level, and as the Megalosaurus, the Black Dragon was known for its magic resistance, it was definitely a mage's nightmare …
Even as a Legendary-mage who was half a step away from becoming a demigod, he felt a great deal of pressure at this moment.
With a roar, he raised his staff high, and a surge of magic gathered around him, finally forming three huge magic arrays. After a flash of light, three earth elemental giants that were like mountains appeared in the mayor's residence.
They held longswords and shields made of earth elements in their hands, and attacked the Megalosaurus that was swooping down.
The two sides engaged in battle.
The two Legendary-mages began to fight, and the resulting destruction was terrifying.
In just a few moments, the magnificent mayor's residence was turned into ruins …
The nobles had already fled in all directions, and Duke Rosen and his foolish son had retreated far away under the protection of the guards …
Even so, he was still not at ease, and only when he retreated to the barracks outside the city and was protected by the army did he feel a little more at ease.
As for the players, they took advantage of the battle between Merril and the Legendary-mage to bring Sophia to a manor outside the mayor's residence that the owner had just escaped from.
After that, two players took out the materials they had prepared to construct a one-time teleportation array, and Jasmine under the Moon was left to protect the half-elf girl Sophia. The rest of the players excitedly rushed out again.
Sophia looked at their figures that disappeared in the blink of an eye and could not help but ask:
"What are they going to do?"
"They're going to search other places in the Noble District … Hmm … To see if there are any other elven slaves."
Jasmine under the Moon replied.
After saying that, she looked at the two mage players who were constructing the teleportation array and comforted the girl:
"Don't worry, once the teleportation array is built, we'll leave immediately."
Hearing Jasmine under the Moon's words, Sophia lightly nodded.
She looked a little disappointed, not because she was afraid, but because she felt an inexplicable emptiness …
Disappointed?
Perhaps.
After seeing how the nobles were treated by Duke Rosen and Bishop Santis, she was thoroughly disappointed in the nobles of the Empire and the Eternal Church that they believed in.
But at the same time, the girl was also at a loss for the future.
She suddenly did not know what she should do, and what she should do in the future …
Reality was so cruel.
She was so weak and so naive.
In the face of fate, in the face of setbacks, she was so weak that she could only rely on help.
She couldn't do anything. She could only stare blankly at the black dragon fighting outside through the window …
At this moment, Sophia was at a loss.
Looking at the dazed girl, Jasmine under the Moon hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not continue the conversation.
She could tell that Sophia needed to be alone right now.
The battle in the mayor's residence was still ongoing.
However, it was a one-sided tease.
Merril, who had stepped into the legendary rank, was no longer the same as before. Facing the Elemental Giants summoned by the legendary mage Conrad, he completely had the upper hand.
The three Elemental Giants, whose strength was close to the legendary rank, were like three large toys in front of Merril. The Black Dragon was easily toying with them, but he did not directly kill them.
On the other hand, no matter how the legendary mage Conrad cast spells, he could not cause any fatal damage to the Black Dragon soaring in the sky.
It could not be helped, the Black Dragon's magic resistance was just too high.
As the dragon species that was the least proficient in magic among the Megalosaurus, their resistance to magic was terrifyingly high. Especially after advancing to the legendary rank, they were almost immune to all magic below the ninth circle.
For legendary mages, the legendary Black Dragon was simply their greatest nemesis!
The loud and clear dragon's roar echoed in the sky, and the whole Morning Star City could feel the turbulence of magic and the violent tremors.
The gorgeous mayor's residence had long been reduced to ashes in the battle, and although Conrad had not yet been defeated, his magic was rapidly depleting, and his expression was getting worse and worse.
But even so, he did not choose to retreat, and instead continued to entangle the Black Dragon, stalling for time.
Stalling for … time?
Looking at the legendary mage fighting Merril, Jasmine under the Moon suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she vigilantly looked at the street outside the window.
But when she saw the Church of Eternity radiating with radiance and guarded by many guards in the noble district, she knitted her brows.
Jasmine under the Moon was no stranger to this kind of radiance, and she had seen it in several of the main cities built by players.
Unfortunately, Jasmine under the Moon was not a part-time priestess, and she did not spend much time in the main city. Although she felt that it was familiar, she could not recall what it was.
"What is that?"
She frowned.
Sophia raised her head when she heard Jasmine Undermoon's question. She was confused, but there was a tinge of seriousness in her tone.
But when she saw the radiance in the direction of the church, her face instantly paled.
"It's the radiance of a Divine Barrier …"
A Divine Barrier …
Jasmine under the Moon's expression turned cold, and she knew that this was bad.
A Divine Barrier was a necessary defense for every intelligent race that believed in a true god.
If a human city like Morning Star City were to completely activate a Divine Barrier, then all of them, including The Black Dragon Merril, would not be able to escape.
Jasmine under the Moon quickly walked to the window, and shouted at the Megalosaurus in the sky:
"Merril, quickly end the battle! He's stalling for time to activate the Divine Barrier! "
Then she roared in the party channel:
"Stop looting! Come back quickly! The Church of Eternity is activating the Divine Barrier! "
Hearing Jasmine under the Moon's words, the Little Black Dragon in the sky flashed its eyes.
It looked at the flashing Church of Eternity in the distance, let out a long cry, and began to fight seriously.
The Church of Life and the Church of Eternity were not at war, so … even if the Church of Eternity was activating the Divine Barrier, Merril could not stop it.
What it needed to do now was to quickly end the battle as Jasmine under the Moon said, and then retreat with the players.
The Legendary Wizard was countered by the Legendary Black Dragon.
As Merril went all out, the pressure on Conrad increased, and the three Earth Elemental Giants quickly collapsed under the Black Dragon's attacks …
At this moment, a holy aura suddenly spread from the direction of the Church of Eternity.
Jasmine under the Moon subconsciously looked over, and then saw a dazzling pillar of light soaring into the sky above the church …
"The Divine Barrier is activating …"
Her expression became more and more serious.
"Is the teleportation circle ready?"
She turned to look at the two Mage players.
"It's done! It's done! We're making the final adjustments! "
The two Mage players were sweating profusely.
After a while, the players who left also came back one after another.
Their faces were full of excitement, and their faces were glowing, as if they had encountered something extremely delightful.
Not only that, each of them seemed to have a lot of things hanging on their bodies, especially under their armor, which was bulging.
However, the elven slaves that Jasmine under the Moon said to look for were nowhere to be found.
Thinking about it, it was impossible to find elven slaves in the Noble District in such a short time.
Of course, looking for elves was just an excuse. This was the richest district in the whole city, and what the players were looking forward to the most was plundering.
However, at this moment, Jasmine under the Moon was too lazy to ask what these beasts had plundered.
This was because a faint halo had begun to appear in the sky above Morning Star City, like a sprinkling cover that was spreading to the surroundings.
It was the Divine Barrier that was constantly shrinking.
"Is the teleportation circle ready?!"
Jasmine under the Moon looked in the direction of the magic circle and asked again.
"It's done! It's done! Activating it! "
The two Mage players replied loudly.
As they spoke, they infused their magic power into the Teleportation Portal that had been set up.
A faint light condensed on the magic circle, and an obscure fluctuation of space began to ripple in the room.
Seeing this familiar light, Jasmine under the Moon finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The magic circle was ready, and they could teleport.
At this moment, the Divine Barrier in the sky was about to close …
Jasmine under the Moon once again poked her head out of the window and shouted at the Black Dragon in the sky:
"Merril! We can go now! "
Hearing these words, the Black Dragon nodded like a human and swooped down, tearing the last Earth Elemental Giant to shreds.
After finishing off a few elemental giants, it puffed up its cheeks again and spat out a mouthful of dragon's breath. Then, regardless of the result, it let out a cheerful hiss and drilled out through the last gap of the divine spell defensive barrier …
On the other side, the players brought the half-elf girl Sofia along with their bulging storage equipment and happily stepped into the teleportation circle, disappearing in a flash of light.
When the Legendary Mage Conrad and the Golden Guards of the Rosen Family chased after them, there was only a dim magic circle left in the room.
With a light 'crack', the magic circle shattered into pieces.
It was only temporary, and at this moment, it had completed its mission.
Only the Legendary Mage Conrad and Duke Rosen, who had rushed over under the protection of the guards, were left behind. Their faces were ashen as they looked at the messy buildings around them and the debris left behind by the collapse of the magic circle …
