Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Black and gray smoke quickly covered the sky. The Black Dragon hovering in the air patiently waited for the smoke to disperse.
Not far from where the mechanical device was hit, the White Dragon also saw the thick smoke.
If the mechanical device was really destroyed by the Black Dragon’s Dragon Breath, the White Dragon would find an opportunity to test the destructive power of the mechanical device.
This made the White Dragon feel very impatient. It wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible, then return to the castle to enjoy the wonderful food. The food was specially prepared by Mike for the dragons.
Just as the White Dragon was thinking about all the wonderful food back in the castle…
Boom!
A deafening explosion could be heard.
“What’s going on? Why is there another explosion?!”
“Could it be that the mechanical device had a series of explosions after being attacked?!”
This was the White Dragon’s guess. The Black Dragon hovering in the air blinked its huge eyes and saw the flames from the explosion.
“My Dragon Breath shouldn’t be so weak, right?”
Usually, the Black Dragon needed to use Dragon Breath only once to kill any soldier. This was the first time it had encountered such a situation.
One had to know that Dragon Breath was a dragon’s innate ability. The temperature contained within it was extremely shocking. Nothing could last once it was engulfed in Dragon Breath.
In addition to the powerful magic contained within the Dragon Breath, the power of the Dragon Breath of the Black Dragon had was on an extremely terrifying level.
That mechanical device should have been instantly destroyed by the high temperature and magic power in an instant.
However, now that the mechanical device had exploded for the second time, it was enough to prove that the defense of the mechanical device was extremely shocking.
At this moment, the black smoke began to dissipate.
The Black Dragon caught a glance of the machinery on the ground and saw that it had been blown apart.
Fortunately, the Black Dragon had ambushed the machinery ahead of time. If the White Dragon had been attacked by the machinery, it was very likely that the White Dragon would have been severely injured.
The Black Dragon flapped its huge wings and landed on the ground. At the same time, the Black Dragon used a language that only dragons could understand to warm the White Dragon that was hiding not far away.
It told the White Dragon not to come out. The Black Dragon was not sure if the mechanical device had any hidden attacks.
After that, the Black Dragon slowly approached the area of the explosion.
As the black smoke dispersed, the view of the center of the explosion became clear. It could see the mechanical device that had been blown apart.
All kinds of strange parts were scattered around, which made the Black Dragon very curious. The Black Dragon used its sharp claws to pick up a part on the ground and looked at it carefully.
However, the Black Dragon could not understand this metal-like component at all. It had no choice but to bring it back to the Dragon Castle and hand it over to its master, Mike.
At this moment, the smoke from the explosion had almost dissipated.
The distorted shape of the mechanical device was exposed to the air. The Black Dragon observed it for a while more before walking towards the mechanical device.
Bang!
As the Black Dragon approached, the mechanical device exploded again. However, the power of this explosion was very small and it could not cause much damage. These were only small explosions caused by some of the deformed parts of machinery.
The Black Dragon remained vigilant as it moved its feet step by step towards the mechanical device.
After the mechanical device exploded for the last time, the parts that were originally transformed were blown away. The internal structure of the mechanical device was exposed.
Unlike its strange appearance, the back of the mechanical device was very smooth, like a spherical body that could reflect its surroundings.
The Black Dragon had never seen such a thing before. Curiosity and vigilance occupied the Black Dragon’s brain.
The smooth metal ball that was exposed to the air instantly emitted a dazzling light. The light struck the vital parts of the Dragon at an extremely fast speed.
The Black Dragon’s talent contained the attributes of magic, so it was very sensitive to the elemental fluctuations around it.
When the ball emitted the light, the Black Dragon had already noticed the active fire elemental fluctuations around it.
This allowed the Black Dragon to react in advance. The Black Dragon knew that the ball of light in front of him was very dangerous.
The ray of light had already shot towards the black dragon’s vital parts.
It was going straight for the Black Dragon’s heart!
However, the Black Dragon’s quick reaction saved its life. The ray of light pierced right through the Black Dragon’s chest area and then went out from its back. The power of the ray of light did not weaken as it shot straight into the air.
Fortunately, the ray of light did not last long before it began to dissipate.
Although the black dragon had dodged the fatal blow, its body had also received a great deal of damage.
The tough scales were instantly pierced through by the ray of light. This was what the Black Dragon was now afraid of.
The defense of the dragon race was the strongest of this Otherworld. They had very thick scales that even heated weapons could not penetrate.
However, the metal ball inside the mechanical device had shot through Black Dragon’s scales without any obstruction. This destructive power was terrifying.
The only question was whether the White Dragon, which was famous for its defense, could withstand this attack.
The Black Dragon did not dare to stay here any longer. It immediately turned around and rushed to the White Dragon’s hiding spot. At the same time, it used a special communication method to tell the White Dragon what had just happened.
Fortunately, the spherical object did not continue to attack. This allowed the Black Dragon to successfully come to the side of the White Dragon.
When the White Dragon saw the terrible state that the Black Dragon was in, it immediately took the Black Dragon and fled to the Dragon Castle in fear.
The purpose of testing the mechanical device had been completed, so there was no need to stay here.
Otherwise, who knew if the spherical object would shoot out the light attack again?
The two dragons wanted to return to the Dragon Castle. If they were flying, they would be able to return in a few hours.
However, the Black Dragon was now seriously injured. The White Dragon could not leave the Black Dragon and return to the castle alone.
The White Dragon had no choice. It folded its wings to support the black dragon with its forelimbs. They walked towards the castle together.
What the two dragons did not know was that after they set off, in order to prevent any accidents, Mike had also sent more dragons to support them.
