American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 554, let's turn the tide!

Although the dragon guardians have a mission to protect Azeroth, most of them are rather arrogant until mortals demonstrate their worth.

They certainly have every right to be arrogant—the powerful bodies, outstanding magical talents, and long lifespans they have been blessed by the Titan creators are all considerable advantages.

But they forgot that the proto-dragons, the ancestors of the dragons, those uncorrupted by the Force of Order, were created by Azeroth to protect their species.

From this perspective, it's not incomprehensible that most of the Dragon Aspects will eventually leave the game, even those of the caliber of Ysera and Alexstrasza.

If they hadn't actually killed Galakrond, the Father of Dragons, who was corrupted by the Force of Death, the Dragon Aspects might have long since vanished into the annals of history.

Faced with these beings who had unknowingly betrayed their Creator and turned to the Force of Order, Rune felt only pity for them. As for the members of the Guardian Dragons corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare—

Let's defeat them first.

Although Eranikus was seated in the center, the strongest fighter was actually Lethorn. Under his power, Rune could feel a portion of his power being extracted, turning into a phantom and flying towards the other Emerald Dragonkin.

However, when a dragon-man accepted the phantom, it convulsed and then exploded, like a watermelon that had fallen to the ground.

Even a tiny fraction of Rune's power is enough to transform a dragonman and put him into another stage of life, provided he can withstand it. The victim who exploded clearly didn't make it through.

After being corrupted by the shadows, Emerys, who was already showing signs of decay, released a large number of invisible mycelia into the air in an attempt to invade Rune's body.

Isoldre then summoned a large number of crazed druid souls.

These poor druids were lured by the Emerald Nightmare and plunged into endless torment. They were forever experiencing their most painful moments, and their souls were forever lost within the Emerald Nightmare, providing power to Xavius ​​and his master.

Moonfire continued to descend, and Isoldre also continuously released a poisonous mist with hypnotic effects and cast silence spells. He knew that the mortal before him was a mage, and what mages feared most was silence and having their magic drained.

However, the dragon who fell most completely has to be Terrar. The dark power of the Emerald Dream completely destroyed his mind and body, turning him into a dragon ghost. Terrar split into three clones, while his main body watched the battle from afar, and his clones went forward to fight.

Even though they were just clones, the sight of the three giant dragons charging towards the mage simultaneously was still quite shocking. They kept spewing venom, while the large number of dragonmen at the front brandished their long swords and slashed at Rune as well.

To the surprise of all creatures, however, Rune stood there calmly, without offering any resistance.

They watched as the sorcerer's flesh revealed wounds; acid corroded his skin, exposing his blood-red muscles.

But that's all there is to it. These attacks, capable of killing high-level professionals with ease, and even demigods would find the coordinated teamwork of this army troublesome, are utterly incapable of killing Rune.

This is not normal, it's very abnormal!

The four nightmare dragons and Eranikus were merely corrupted, not yet turned into fools. They realized their power was far from enough to penetrate Rune's defenses, even—

Even Rune's defenses seem to be increasing!

So they launched an even more vigorous attack.

Countless dream illusions were summoned from the void by Eranikus, and a large number of shadow arrows rained down on Rune. At first, this did have some effect, and the dragonmen at the forefront even saw the traces of white bones on Rune's body.

However, Rune's self-healing ability soon surpassed the damage of Shadow Bolt, but he still did not choose to retaliate. Instead, he waited a while to figure out the dragons' methods.

Only then did the mage let out a comfortable sigh of relief. Standing there taking hits was merely to increase his resistance; did you really think I was easy to bully?

The next moment, Rune infused his shadow-made robe with magic, transforming it from tattered rags back into a proper robe. Then, with a wave of his hand, terrifying dark power pushed away the surrounding dragonmen like a tide.

The dragonkin began to scream in agony, for the runes' dark magic possessed a vicious nature; like tiny insects, they seeped into the dragonkin's bodies, gnawing at their magic and flesh.

Those nightmare illusions and druid souls transformed into pure demons when faced with the dark magic tide. Fortunately, Tyral's clone was somewhat capable; although its form became much more illusory, it at least did not explode under the effect of the first wave of magic tide.

"What exactly are you?!" Eranikus looked at the mage in astonishment. He had expected to see this mortal wail under the torment of the dragons, but he never expected that he could block the attack of the Green Dragon Legion in this way.

"I am your nightmare, Eranikus. Once you see me, you are destined for utter defeat." Rune answered the question calmly, then waved his hand again, and the magic transformed from the corrupted Emerald Dragonkin was reshaped.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of strange creatures were also summoned from the void by Rune, and the only will they were infused with was to kill.

So the equally hideous monsters turned around and charged at the corrupted guardian dragons who originally had the advantage in numbers. They also spewed acid, but they were more agile, and among them were huge dragons and thunder beasts whose arms had been transformed into monomolecular giant blades.

These mountain-sized bio-weapons could inflict heavy losses on the dragon army simply by rampaging through it. Their initial design envisioned a mechanical army, not these pitiful, weak carbon-based creatures.

Terrar's clones were also destroyed one by one, as the serpents hiding behind him, with their extremely hunched bodies and twisted skeleton-like forms, kept shooting out terrifying bone spikes.

These terrifying creatures were further protected by a large number of thick-skinned and horrifying beetles. The dragonmen tried their best but still could not break through their defenses. Instead, they were riddled with holes by the hydralisks.

A large number of agile Zerglings had already broken through the dragonkin's defenses. The Emerald Dragonkin were already under attack from both Hydralisks and Thunder Beasts, and they couldn't even protect themselves, let alone intercept these ridiculously agile little creatures for the other dragonkin.

Emerys's abilities should have been able to shine in this situation. Her mycelium could not only drain the life force of enemies, but also absorb the flesh and blood of dead enemies to nourish a mushroom, which would burst open in just a few seconds, releasing a large number of highly poisonous spores.

Once the first corpse appears on the battlefield, this corrupted green dragon can unleash a wave of destruction. Unfortunately, these disgusting creatures are essentially magical creations, and their deaths leave no corpses, let alone provide nutrients for the mycelium.

Originally, it should have been the Green Dragon Legion overwhelming the enemy with their numbers, but now it seems the situation has reversed?
