The sky outside the window was already dark red. Golden meteors fell from the clouds from time to time and crashed into the ground. On the highlands, flashes of fire could be seen from far and near. It was already late, but the battle was still going on.
In the northern sky, the floating fleet and dragons were still fighting against Arak the Formless. After losing almost all of their top combatants, the battle had turned into a bitter war of attrition. Delphine gently put down the quill in her hand and stared blankly out of the window with her chin propped on her hand. Terrified screams could be heard from time to time. At this moment, even Valhalla Fortress was in chaos.
She turned her purple eyes slightly and looked in another direction. Below the fortress, Falafel the Errant was already on the verge of collapse. However, the number of valkyries that flew up to fight was decreasing. Only the shining silver fire in the darkness was still the center of the battle.
The prime minister's daughter was silent for a moment. Creak. The door behind her opened. She turned around and saw Mithril knocking on the door and coming in. The Silver Dragon Lady had changed into a clean robe, but her face was still pale. She rejected the goodwill of the people and simply washed her injured eye.
Mithril stood in front of Delfien. The prime minister's daughter also looked up. The two in the room looked at each other in silence.
"I heard that you were here," Mithril said softly. "I thought you would go with him."
"Your eye?" Delfien asked.
Mithril shook her head, indicating that she was not in the way.
Delfien was silent for a moment. She picked up the quill again and scribbled something on the paper. But Mithril looked at Delfien's hand and said softly, "You are afraid, right?"
Delfien's quill stopped.
"Everyone will be afraid." She deliberately looked at the golden red sky outside the window and smiled. "I am not extraordinary."
"But what you are afraid of is different from others, isn't it?" The Silver Dragon Lady said. "Delfien —"
"No." The prime minister's daughter shook her head. "There is no difference."
She lowered her head, flipped open a page of the document, and signed it.
But Mithril looked at her quietly and said, "It's upside down."
"What?" Delfien was stunned and raised her head.
Mithril pointed at the document in her hands and said, "You're holding it upside down."
Delfien's hand paused, and the quill fell on the paper.
She stood rooted to the ground, her mind in a mess.
…
The wind was quiet, and the crystal trees in the valley emitted a faint fluorescent light. The light gathered together as if it could light up the darkness of the entire underground world. The jadeite mountain peak was like a lighthouse emitting endless light in the Kingdom of the Dead, standing tall in the darkness and fog.
There was another dull rumble. The gigantic creature was getting closer and closer above their heads. Dust and ice chips were falling from the crisscrossing roots of the World Tree in the mist.
Brando quietly looked at the blade on Amandina's neck. He looked at Romaine and asked coldly: "Twilight Dragon, what do you want?"
"What do I want? I just want Miss Amandina to do me a small favor. If it weren't for her connection with the Lionheart Sword, it would have taken me a lot of effort to find this place. "The Roman smiled happily." And there's more to come. "
As soon as she finished speaking, a silver dagger suddenly appeared in Amandina's hand. Before Brando could react, she raised the dagger and stabbed it into her own chest without hesitation.
Crimson blood instantly soaked through the layers of clothes and spurted out.
Brando could hardly believe his eyes.
"Twilight Dragon!" Brando shouted furiously, and punched the giant crystal claw in front of the Roman. The claw's owner, the Crystal Tyrant Astoni, appeared behind the Roman and was almost sent flying by the punch.
Brando did not care about anything else. He flashed to Amandina's side and caught the falling Amandina with both hands.
The Roman had no intention of stopping him. Instead, she stood aside and watched the scene with interest. She walked to Astoni's side, held the Crystal Tyrant's claw, and jumped up with small steps. The Crystal Tyrant stood up and walked past Brando. Its huge body made the valley tremble slightly with every step it took.
Brando did not even look at them. He only carefully poured the holy water into Amandina's mouth. Amandina choked and coughed. She opened her eyes, and her dark eyes finally regained their clarity. When she saw Brando, tears flowed down her cheeks. "My Lord."
Brando was about to speak, but he suddenly froze.
Because he saw the dagger in Amandina's chest rising up by itself. Although the wound on Amandina's chest was healing under the effect of the holy water, the blood in the blood was still floating. However, the blood on the dagger was floating around. Droplets of blood flew out from the dagger and floated in midair.
The countless droplets of blood seemed to have lost their gravity and flew into the sky. They merged with each other and formed a fist-sized blood ball.
And within this blood ball, there was a faint golden light.
Brando stared at this scene in a daze. He suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. It was the resonance of the Law of Tiamat.
And it was at this moment that the Emerald Summit shook again. Shock waves came from outside the valley, followed by a deafening roar.
Amandina was also stunned. She almost thought that she had seen wrongly. She asked with a pale face, "My, my blood … is glowing?"
Not far away, the Roman sat on Astoni's claw and also looked up at the blood ball that was radiating golden light. She held the edge of the claw with both hands and kicked her feet. She sighed and said, "The blood of the Sage, you hid it so well, Martha —"
At this moment, Tia's scream came from afar. "Ahhh! Help, this, this ball of light is moving on its own. I, I can't hold it anymore! "
Beside the elven girl, Andrea was the first to turn around and quickly grabbed the ball of light in Tia's hand. But it was at this moment that the light on the ball of light suddenly became incomparably dazzling. The vampire felt as if her hand was being burned by the light, and she immediately screamed and shrank back.
It was at this moment that the ball of light suddenly left Tia's hand and flew into the air. Metisha instinctively stabbed her spear in that direction, but the ball of light seemed to have a consciousness of its own and avoided the attack. On the other side, Irene was chanting and summoned countless vines from the ground to block the ball of light in the air. But before they could get close, they were burned to ashes by the light of the ball of light.
And just when everyone was caught off guard, Metisha suddenly heard a soft buzzing sound. She looked down and was surprised to find that the Lionheart Sword hanging at her waist was vibrating slightly. A moment later, the sword of King Erik unsheathed itself and floated in the air. A drop of golden blood separated from the sword and flew into the distant sky.
The ball of blood, the ball of light, and the drop of golden blood met above the valley and violently collided with each other before fusing into one. At that moment, the entire valley seemed to resonate with the grass and crystallized trees trembling at the same time. A golden light hung down from the World Tree above and shot into the ball of light.
And as the ball of light shone brightly, it suddenly came to the altar in the middle of the valley and slowly opened a door of light.
Looking at the door of light, the Roman's eyes finally revealed a scorching light. She almost immediately stood up from Astoni's claw.
"Stop her!" Seeing this scene, Brando immediately shouted, "That's not her real body, prioritize attacking the Crystal King Astoni!"
But in fact, there was no need for him to give the order. The spear in Metisha's hand had already flown out, but the Crystal King raised its hand and blocked the spear. On the other side, Ropar and Irene had already blocked in front of Astoni. The Shire even used magic to create a barrier, but with just one punch from Astoni, Ropar and Irene could only retreat and the barrier was shattered.
Brando saw this and picked up the Blade of Golden Flames, gently putting it down. Amandina was about to join the battle, but Amandina grabbed his hand. She seemed to have finally regained her senses and said anxiously, "My lord, go save Miss Jutta!"
"Jutta?" Brando was stunned. "What happened to her?"
"She's still outside!"
"She's outside?"
Astoni stepped forward step by step, but the Roman sitting on its palm sneered at the people in front of her and said sarcastically, "Look at whose sword this is."
As she spoke, she hooked the longsword in her hand and threw it down high. The longsword spun and fell, stabbing into the soft ground. Only then did everyone see that the longsword was Jutta's sword, the Fire Raven's Tongue.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the entire Emerald Peak seemed to be about to collapse. Everyone's expression changed drastically. The weaker ones, such as the Nightsong Tiger and Felaern, lost their footing and fell directly to the ground.
Brando subconsciously turned around. Outside the valley, a huge head slowly walked in from there.
What kind of creature was that?
It was just a head, but it occupied a corner of the valley. Even the towering Crystal Tyrant Astoni paled in comparison to this dragon.
Yes, it was a dragon. To be exact, it was a black dragon. However, under the black scales that covered its entire body, there seemed to be green flames burning. The flames seeped out from under the scales and fell to the ground. In an instant, they formed a cluster of emerald green crystals. As it slowly moved forward, the crystals flowed into a forest.
Every step it took was enough to shake the entire valley.
The way it strode forward with its head held high made people feel small and insignificant, as if it had the bearing of a king. Its huge head looked down at everyone condescendingly. Its black eyeballs were like solidified lava balls, looking at everyone in the valley with a look of contempt.
But its gaze was mainly on Brando.
Brando felt his scalp tingle.
There was no doubt that this was the king of the Bronze Tribe, the God Slayer, the Verdant Dragon – Nidhogg.
Nidhogg's black eyeballs seemed to contain a green flame, but there was no gentleness in them. When it saw Brando, the look in its eyes became colder.
Brando lowered his head and saw the thing under Nidhogg's claws.
It was a crystal prism, and in the prism, the female mercenary captain was sealed motionlessly. Brando turned his head back angrily. He did not need to think to know whose masterpiece this was. Romaine smiled at him sweetly, as if she was very satisfied with this prank.
At this time, Metisha's telepathic message came immediately, "My Lord, we will stop the Twilight Dragon. You go and save Miss Jutta. The portal in the middle of the valley is shrinking, you must hurry."
Brando looked in that direction and nodded silently.
He understood that this was the only way.
Brando stood up, and the Verdant Dragon Nidhogg immediately roared in his direction. At that moment, it was as if the whole valley shook. But Brando only glanced at it and disappeared from its sight in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already above the dragon's head.
Brando pulled out the Shallow Sea Holy Sword Cinna in mid-air. With Oderfeiss in one hand and Cinna in the other, he jumped down heavily and stabbed the two swords into Nidhogg's head. Nidhogg let out a blood-curdling scream. Green flames immediately spread out from the wound and scattered in all directions. Nidhogg's sword had left a deep wound on the dragon's forehead, and it was so deep that the dragon's bones could be seen.
But the Verdant Dragon immediately lowered its head, turned around, and swept its huge tail towards Brando like a mountain. The huge shadow rushed towards him. Brando put away the Holy Sword Oderfeiss with one hand, and with the other hand holding Cinna, he directly launched the Glacier Attack. A glacier dozens of miles long spread forward. The icy wind whistled, and the ten-thousand-year-old ice almost froze half of Nidhogg's tail and the back half of his body into an ice sculpture. And the remaining power of Cinna continued to move forward, turning a piece of the Emerald Forest into ice shards in the distance.
As far as the eye could see, it was as if an endless glacier had appeared in the darkness.
The freezing effect caused the Verdant Dragon to pause for a moment. Brando finally found an opportunity to flip down under the dragon's claws, and grabbed the crystal that sealed Jutta. With a spatial teleportation, he teleported far away in the direction of The Shire.
But in the next moment, the glacier suddenly cracked, and Nidhogg took the opportunity to claw down at Brando.
Although Nidhogg looked huge and clumsy, the claw was so fast that it almost left a shadow. Brando had to rely on his ability to control time to barely see the attack's trajectory. He lunged forward to avoid the fatal blow.
But what made him a little creeped out was that this damn thing did not even use the Elemental Laws, and it actually tore a crack in space with brute force. He clearly saw the black spots brought by the claw, which were the signs of space breaking.
What kind of monster is this?
After his successful attack, Brando immediately took a step back, and Halran Gaia appeared in his right hand. He reversed the tip of the sword and stabbed it into the ground, and the ability of the Frost Earth Guard instantly burst out. Combined with the glacier created by the Shallow Sea Sword, the stable power of the earth surged out from the ground, and two strong walls entwined with different law networks rose from the ground, separating him from Nidhogg.
At this moment, The Shire's voice sounded, "My Lord! Miss Jutta is safe, retreat quickly! "
