What did you do with the dice?

After Rusalka regained his mobility, he saw that his good brother had controlled the opponent, so he did not hesitate and wanted to swing his sword to chop him after ten seconds, but he found that the sword also passed through Garces' body and could not hit the opponent.

Garces roared, "Human mage, what have you done!"

Meanwhile, Sani Iron Tower was surrounded by four magical metals standing in the correct positions of east, west, south, and north. A magic circle shone beneath his feet. The success of his spell made him extremely happy. He even joked, imitating Rusalka's words: "It's just a simple ritual to extend the duration of the spell, combined with the [Bailment] spell. If you follow the Lord of Pearl Tears' words, let's go take a bath together."

After saying that, a sound like a bubble being popped came from Garces's position, and he disappeared from the spot with a snap, and the other ends of the chains seemed to follow him into another space and disappeared.

Although Sani Iron Tower remained in this plane, the chains gradually wrapped around his body along the magic circle, locking him up and making him unable to move.

After estimating the rate at which the magic power in the metal was being consumed, he privately messaged Rusalka: (I can't move right now because my main body is serving as the core of the ritual. He'll be back soon. You have about 20 minutes. Take this opportunity to kill those two dragons.)

In this time-sensitive situation, Rusalka was not so eager to fight alone, mainly because he found that his numerical value seemed to be not as high as the opponent's. So he stopped talking nonsense and followed his brother's advice. He turned around and immediately jumped onto the city wall to support his own army.

----

"Quick, load the crossbow!"

"Fire, don't stop shooting!"

"Don't worry about the ones that got hit. If we don't kill it, we'll all die!"

"Fuck it, fight this monster!"

Thunder kept falling from the sky and hitting the army. Soldiers who were hit were either knocked to the ground or turned into charred ashes.

A sky full of crossbow arrows flew upwards, trying to shoot down the giant silver dragon in the air that was injured in the abdomen but still showing off its might. However, ordinary arrows would only be bounced off by the dragon scales. Only one or two lucky dragon hunting crossbow arrows pierced its body, causing it to suffer a few injuries that were very minor considering its size.

If the blazing flames in the city illuminated the night sky, then outside the city there were rolling dark clouds covering the sky and obscuring the moon.

Accompanied by a dull roar, another bolt of lightning fell from the sky, illuminating the surroundings for a moment, and then directly shattered a thick ice shield suspended in the air, decomposing it into the most primitive magic particles.

The magic circle around the blue-robed wizard gradually faded and disappeared. He gasped and waved his hands, saying to Sarolt beside him, "I can't do it anymore. I used up half of my magic power in the duel with Master Sanitta just now. Now my magic power is completely exhausted. If I had Master Sanitta's bottomless magic power, I would surely be able to hold on until I defeat it. It's a pity that I started too late..."

Seeing that several mages seemed to be in a desperate situation, Sarolt was too lazy to listen to their nonsense. He knew that it was impossible to deal with a dragon by relying on those ordinary soldiers. At this moment, Lord Pearl Tear and others were not there, so they could only rely on these paladins to find a solution.

He calmly ordered the Star Knights beside him, "Star Knights, form up! Attack formation!"

Offensive formation? Isn't it a defensive formation, holding out until the Lord of Pearl Tears arrives?

Although everyone had this doubt, they still did as Sarolt said. The starlight enveloped the entire knight order. Under the guidance of the priest, the holy light condensed into a solid war hammer and smashed heavily into the dragon in the air.

This hammer hurt the dragon, which had been at ease before. The golden flames burned her body, reminding her of the excruciating pain after being hit by Rusalka's holy light. She roared angrily for a moment, and her body turned into a silver light, swirling rapidly in the air, leaving behind huge balls of lightning wherever it passed.

The clouds in the sky seemed to have sensed her anger, and began to accumulate lightning at a faster rate than before, pouring the energy of lightning into lightning balls, which then fell one by one.

Wherever the lightning ball touched, the soldiers were instantly burned into charcoal by the blasted electric current. For a moment, large circular blank pits were blown out in the army by the explosion of the lightning ball, and the bodies of the soldiers inside were completely destroyed.

This horrifying scene caused all the surviving soldiers' hands holding their weapons to tremble uncontrollably, their legs shaking, and they almost wanted to die.

The giant dragon attacked with a bit of seriousness, killing hundreds of people in an instant, and the weapons on their side were unable to cause any effective damage to it while it was flying in the air.

Could they really fight such a creature? Was it really possible to survive the battle?

Even the Starlight Knights lost over fifty knights in this attack, leaving them with no time to mourn their comrades. Sarolt's resolute command echoed through the legion again: "Starlight Knights, do not waver! Concentrate the Holy Light and continue the attack!"

"You lowly fellows, you dare to resist our existence!"

The dragon's roar made the soldiers begin to fear. Wherever the dragon's might passed, even the crossbow arrows became sparse. Everyone trembled and wanted to retreat down the slope.

Just when the soldiers' morale was about to collapse, a powerful voice sounded, and ripples of awakening spiritual light swept across the battlefield, instantly dispelling the fear in everyone's hearts.

"Don't be afraid, kids! I'm back!"

Chapter 243: Garces Red Lotus Annihilation Battle (Part 2)

Rusalka, wearing a brand new blue armor that had been automatically repaired, drew an arc in the air, and then slammed heavily into the silver dragon wrapped in a thunderstorm in the air. Golden light and a tragic roar burst out at the same time, and the next moment, Rusalka, with a charred body, fell to the ground from the air.

Ten seconds later, Rusalka's black, charred shell peeled off like paint. Under the armor, which, no matter how many blows and shatters it had endured, could still repair itself just as quickly as Rusalka's "resurrected" body, a brand new body was revealed. He raised his sword and shouted, "So this is what death feels like! Fortunately, I'm immortal! The Pearl Tear Territory will win!"

This is the sixth resurrection.

In Rusalka's view, "near-death" is a very wonderful experience. His vision will switch to a brief God's perspective, and then the system will ask him whether he is out of the near-death state. If he chooses yes, his vision will return to normal.

Every time he was "near death," he would think, "Flesh and blood are weak, so mechanical ascension is better." Isn't seeing things from a God's perspective much more comfortable than seeing with his own eyes? If he could "control" himself to fight, perhaps he would become even stronger.

Compared to Rusalka's wild thoughts, the soldiers were at the opposite extreme of him. They had chosen to empty their minds and did not want to delve into why Rusalka had been "resurrected" repeatedly. The messenger of God was probably immortal. Anyway, as long as they knew that he was here to save them and was on their side, the stronger he was, the better.

Now even if Rusalka turns into a demon, they won’t care. Demons are only scary in rumors, but this dragon in the sky can take their lives in reality!

After Rusalka stood up again, the first thing she did was to use the three rings that had been restored due to resurrection to cast an assistance spell on herself, Sarolt and a knight nearby.

The 10 health points and upper limit are not the key. He did this just to make the awakening aura take effect again.

Under the effect of the artifact that gave courage to the awakened aura, the soldiers suddenly felt that the huge dragon in the sky that was roaring with thunder and lightning no longer looked as scary as before. It was like pulling open the curtains and letting the sunlight outside the window illuminate the dark room after watching a horror movie. Everything inside was no longer scary.

They shouted to regain their lost courage, and followed Rusalka in raising their arms and shouting: "The Pearl Tear Territory will win!!!"

With morale restored, Rusalka lamented that the system's gift was ridiculous. This manifestation was too unnatural, more effective than drinking to boost courage. He quickly issued orders according to the instructions given to him by Sanitieta in the private chat channel: "The Dragon Hunting Crossbow Team reloads the Dragon Locking Arrows. Tell the Dragon Catching Battalion to move uphill. All other units to take their positions and be alert! All regiment commanders and battalion commanders begin to lead their troops into action according to the plan previously formulated by Grand Mage Sanitieta! Remember, I don't want casualties, I only want the corpse of that monster in the sky!"

Although Rusalka and Sanitta cooperated to trap Garces, this did not conform to the rules of his life-and-death duel just now, but Rusalka had his own flexible knight honor, and he did not have to be so conventional when dealing with aliens - just do it!

He pointed his sword at the wings spread in the air, staring at Leah with endless anger in his golden pupils, and said slowly:

"The hunt for revenge begins!"

----

On the other side, Lipa is in the most dangerous situation in her life.

The first thing to realize is: the black cat Hydra uses white holy light, and the white cat Phoenix uses black mist.

As a knight, Hydra attracted the most firepower, and her attacks were wide and wide. Moreover, as a paladin with a lifespan that completely surpassed that of humans, she had been a paladin for more than two hundred years. When converted into a level, she was almost half a legendary. Even if she collided head-on with the strong, she would not be at a disadvantage. Moreover, as she fought with the strong, her control over the new holy light became stronger and stronger, and she seemed to be getting braver and braver.

Lipa knew that she had met a tough opponent. At this time, the pride of the dragon clan was not more important than winning the battle. So she did not hesitate to use her trump card and used dragon language magic to instantly cast the [Monster Immobilization Spell] and successfully immobilized Hydra. Then she grabbed her with her claws that turned into dragon claws.

Because she was immobilized by the [Immobilization] magic, all attacks she received were considered [heavy hits] (that is, critical hits), so the dazzling thunderstorm instantly shattered the golden light protecting Hydra's body, and the electric shock made her hair smoke. Her golden wings disappeared, and she was thrown down heavily by Lipa's shrill smile, falling straight to the ground.

Just as she was about to follow and deal a fatal blow to Hydra on the ground, Phoenix took advantage of this gap to launch an attack, unexpectedly cutting off the wings behind her, forcing her to fall to the ground in order to save magic power.

Then, a sneaky elf was seen transmitting green energy to Hydra, who was supposed to be dying. When Lipa wanted to go over and punish the elf, the elf pulled the cloak behind him in front of him and wrapped his body, and his body disappeared into the air. In a few breaths, the holy light returned to Hydra's body, and several green runes were suspended around her.

After saying that, she stood up again, her aura no longer concealed. In the baptism of golden light, she once again summoned the Ashbringer giant sword and the scorching Sun Guardian, and as if reborn, she launched another shield charge.

This charge was even faster than the previous one. Runes rippled, and a strong wind blew around her body, pushing her forward. The shield shining with sunlight collided with her, and actually knocked Lipa, who had her arms crossed in front of her, away.

An emerald green arrow came from nowhere and shot at her feet. It sank into the soil. The next moment, the ground cracked open and a blood-sucking vine with barbs broke out of the soil and wrapped around her tightly.

There was a harsh friction sound between the thorns of the plant and the dragon scales. This little trick of the elves was certainly not to be feared. The thorns of the plant could not break the defense of the dragon scales, let alone suck blood. So she directly smashed the plant with the lightning halo.

Just as she was about to summon lightning to smash the invisible and annoying elf hiding on the top of the city wall into pieces like crushing a cockroach, Phoenix suddenly appeared behind her through the black fog, tapped the ground with her toes, and "stepped" on her shadow on the ground.

Lipa felt as if her body was fixed for a moment and she couldn't move at all, as if she was hit by a [Monster Immobilization Spell].

If Sanita were here, he would definitely recognize this skill. This is the exclusive ability of the highest-level believer of Lady Shadow, [Shadow Tread]. It is noble and does not require an exemption. It only needs to meet the conditions of "parasitizing the power of shadow" + "completely immersing the body in the opponent's shadow and stepping on the shadow" + "being unable to move" to produce the same effect as the [Immobilization] magic.

Phoenix's figure was wrapped in black fog, like a pitch-black plant, firmly rooted in the shadow. Lipa's body was constantly surrounded by crackling arcs of electricity, and her body was constantly shaking at a high frequency, but she was unable to break free from the restraints.

Hydra seized the opportunity, rushed to her in one step, and slashed at her head with a knife, shattering the dragon scales. The second knife cut through her skin, and the third knife broke her head and made it bleed.

Just as she was about to chop down the fourth time, three red flames shot out from the side and exploded directly on Lipa's face, turning the scales on her face into gray-black.

Alice, whose figure appeared from the side due to the spell, shouted "Great", and then cast a buff spell on Hydra. She seemed to be frightened by the golden dragon eyes that turned around and looked at her. Although she knew that the other party should not be able to move, she hurriedly wrapped herself in a cloak and slipped away invisibly.

Lipa gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few syllables from her throat with almost all her strength: "Gewitter (thunderstorm)"

Thunder roared in the air, and a bolt as thick as a dragon's fell from the sky, striking Lipa squarely. The intense current and shockwave sent two nearby cats flying. Even Alijie, who was hiding nearby, was numbed by the shockwave, forcing her to reveal herself and flee backwards, trembling with each step.

Lipa seemed to be awakened. She exhaled a long breath of air filled with crackling static electricity, twisted her neck and dragon claws, and regained her mobility. "I'm angry. I'm going to slowly roast you with lightning, then bite you off and swallow you bit by bit!"

The black and white cats quickly separated to the left and right, intending to attack in two different directions.

Alice was still retreating, trying to reach a safe distance, pondering the dragon lady's words: Eh? Can elves and orcs be eaten roasted? Are they delicious?

Of course, her heaven-defying idea stopped when a bolt of lightning shattered her emerald green protective barrier. She watched the chain lightning flow from the two cats to her side, and was so scared that she didn't even bother to prepare fire magic. She instinctively drew the pure wood magic in her blood to stretch out a circular barrier around her.

Lipa transformed into a huge dragon prototype, with the broken wings behind her filled with lightning. She flapped her wings and was about to rush into the sky.

However, a black fog door opened in the sky, and a black sphere popped out of it. The sphere turned into mist and dissipated the moment it appeared, revealing Hydra who was wrapped in it, and slashed down from the sky.

Do you know the hammer technique that falls from the sky?

Hydra, wrapped in a war hammer transformed from golden light, hit her back directly, smashing her body, which was less than a meter off the ground, into the ground with the sound of bones and scales breaking. Then Hydra raised the greatsword high, and the runes on the sword echoed with the holy light around her. Countless golden threads surged from the sword to connect to her body.

Lipa felt the alarm bell of her life ringing wildly. She was about to escape, but found that the space around her was tightly blocked and she couldn't teleport!

In Shana's hand, a scroll with silver runes painted on it was slowly turning into ashes. It was given to her by Sanita before the battle, and she was told to use it at the most crucial moment to decide the outcome.

At the time, she didn't understand what moment this referred to, but Sanitita said she trusted the Ranger's sharpshooter's judgment: "Well, it's probably when you feel the time has come to shoot the 'Sigh of the God of Nature' at the other party."

[Modern Ken's private chamber, 4th ring. Nothing can be teleported into or out of the protected area. Within the area, plane travel is prohibited.]

And Phoenix landed again, stepped on her shadow, and nodded slowly to Hydra.

Hydra finished charging, and the pillar of light around the Ashbringer condensed from virtual to solid. The supreme sword, carrying a majestic momentum and a sacred aura so rich that it made the black fog around Phoenix surge and boil, slashed down fiercely.

Hydra closed his eyes, scoffed disdainfully, and asked, "Are you angry? Is it any use?"

She had been with Rusalka for a long time, and she had unknowingly been somewhat assimilated into Rusalka's super contagious and aggressive way of speaking.

"No!!! No!!! Wait a minute, I give up..."

Her plea for mercy was quickly swallowed up by the light and turned into a shrill scream.

This sword not only split the huge dragon body into two horizontally, but also directly split the flames and the earth in front of it, and even split the city wall in front of it into a broken ravine that was large enough to accommodate two carriages entering and exiting side by side. Alice on the side was so frightened that her mouth opened into an "O" shape.

Well, I don't want to learn fire magic now. Is it too late to convert to Holy Light?

The holy light dissipated, and Lipa dragged half of her body and lowered her head weakly.

Hydra slid down from the air and stood before Lipa. He raised his greatsword to her nose, slowly opened his eyes, and demanded, "Are you willing to repent for the lives you have killed? Are you willing to swear to the gods that you will never do evil again?"

Tears streamed down her golden dragon pupils as she weakly begged for mercy from Hydra: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm willing to swear, please let me go. Garces forced me to do this. My sister and I didn't dare to resist him. I repent, I know I was wrong, I'm willing to do anything, I can sign a contract with you and become your mount, I only ask you to spare my life, I'm still young, I don't want to die..."

Hydra nodded and slowly put away the sword. Lipa immediately showed a look of gratitude and relief at having survived a disaster.

However, the next moment, a crack in the black mist fell from the sky, and a huge dragon head rolled to the ground, while the pair of eyes showed an expression of disbelief, and finally gradually lost its spirit.

Phoenix was shrouded in black mist, which transformed into spikes that pierced into the huge dragon's body, absorbing life energy frantically and hungrily. Soon the dragon's heart began to wither, and eventually the entire body turned into a horrible bag of skin and bones.

The black mist was sucked back into her body. Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief. When she opened her eyes again, a black "X" pattern gradually appeared in her golden eyes.

Hydra immediately closed his eyes, raised his head, and asked incredulously at Phoenix, who had made the move. "Why did you kill her? She clearly knew she was wrong! We can restrain her with a contract. Besides, aren't you going to follow that Pearl Tear Lord Rusalka to Alice City? If that's the case, having an extra dragon mount as a fighting force will give you a better chance of victory, right?"

Phoenix glanced at Hydra, then looked at the dragon head indifferently, and slowly replied:

"She didn't know she was wrong, she just knew she was going to die."

She paused and added, "Besides, Rusalka will definitely do the same."

Hydra slowly turned around and sighed, "Sister, I thought Rusalka would change your ways for the better."

Since they were communicating with Hydra, Phoenix spoke in a rare calm tone, saying a long sentence: "I have always been consistent, but you have used 'for me' as an excuse to keep wavering. The beautiful justice you wanted to achieve has been unable to be carried out to the end because of my existence. So, sister, do you regret saving me now?"

Hydra gritted her teeth and said, "How could I regret it? After all, you are my only sister."

Phoenix jumped down from the dragon's corpse, turned around and walked towards the city gate. She said calmly, "Sister, you've become exactly like Roland. He'll definitely be very pleased. I'm going to help Rusalka. I'll still kill the dragon."

Hydra stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally followed Phoenix's footsteps in a daze and went out of the gate.

Chapter 244: Garces Red Lotus Annihilation Battle (Part 2!)

If Rusalka was alone, he naturally wouldn't be able to do anything to Leah in the sky since he couldn't fly.

However, Sani Tieta always planned ahead and could think three steps ahead, so he asked the army to prepare flame-retardant and non-conductive rubber ropes in advance, tied a contact-ejection hook commonly used by thieves on the top, loaded it into the dragon-hunting crossbow, and fired it into the air.

As the order to launch was given, at least twenty pitch-black grapples shot towards Leia in the air. Even though she dodged most of them with her side-spinning aerobatics, four grapples still grabbed her body.

But the dragon's extraordinary strength was undeniable. Even Rusalka's 20 strength was insufficient to resist it. How could these four small ballistae hold her back? The ropes quickly tightened to their limit, and then the four ballistae were lifted off the ground as she ascended. One of them was even thrown out on the spot, crashing into the crowd, causing considerable casualties.

Leia proudly cut another rope with her claws. "Hehe, stupid human, how could such a boring toy hurt me?"

"The ballista can't hurt you, but what about me?"

Just as his brothers expected, Rusalka climbed up the rope smoothly and quickly. The skill brought by his 20 agility made him more agile than apes in climbing techniques. Using his hands and feet, he climbed to a height of more than ten meters in a few steps. Finally, he pulled and kicked hard and jumped directly onto Leah's back. He took two steps at a time and reached the top of her head, tightly grasping the dragon horn on her head.

Leah was terrified. Rusalka's Holy Slash was like a blow to her soul. She was afraid that Rusalka would hit her head with the sword, so she quickly changed into human form.

This was indeed effective. After its size was reduced, Rusalka lost its support point and fell from the air.

But he also had a backup plan. He skillfully took out a small grappling launcher from the interlayer of his armor, calmly aimed it in the air, and shot it directly at the horn on Leia's head.

Rusalka's luck has always been good. Although Leah was trying to evade, this shot seemed to have predicted her movement in advance, so it hooked her right away. Then Rusalka's body was like a magnet attracted by the rope and bounced over. Then he pulled out a giant sword from the void and slashed at her neck without mercy, determined to chop off her head with one blow.

Even if the dragon race has a strong recovery ability, it will probably die if its head is cut off.
