Evolving Silver Dragon - Chapter 398
Chapter 398: 416 Truth Light Pillar_1
Thunder and flames continued to invade Stania’s protective shield through the cracks and gaps, expanding the breaches rapidly.
“Crackling.”
With that sound, a thick Lightning Spear appeared in Otto’s front claws.
Aiming, the muscles on Otto’s forelimbs bulged, and violent electrical currents filled his entire body, greatly enhancing his physical strength.
“Roar!”
Feeling that the power in his front limbs had reached its peak, Otto threw the Lightning Spear in his hand.
“Swoosh!”
There was only a breaking sound, and that thick Lightning Spear instantly disappeared in place.
The spear traveled at an incredibly fast speed, it had accurately passed through the expanded cracks of the protective shield in just the blink of an eye.
Immediately after, the spear, without losing momentum, went straight into the rock base below Stania.
Then, a violent explosion occurred.
“Boom!”
Wild currents of electricity spread out in all directions from the Lightning Spear, obliterating everything nearby, whether it was the magic cannon or the rock base, under the brutal force of the thunder.
At the same time, an earthquake-like sensation affected the entire Stania, causing some young spellcasters to fall to the ground in an instant.
It didn’t stop there. One after another, lightning spears pierced through the cracks in the protective shield and inserted into the rock base below Stania.
What followed were continuous explosions, and the furious thunderous power almost completely destroyed the magic cannons under Stania.
Of course, the Cannon of Truth was an exception. The material used to forge it was much sturdier and more precious than ordinary magic cannons. It could not be easily damaged by regular attacks.
However, nearly all other magic cannons besides the Cannon of Truth were also severely damaged. Even for Stania, this was not a result that could be easily accepted.
Due to the continuous shaking, it became a luxury for those on Stania to even stand steadily, and some houses with unstable foundations or average construction skills collapsed.
Some unlucky victims were even killed in the sudden collapse of the rubble ruins.
Because of this accident, the entire Stania was plunged into chaos.
As those young spellcasters tried their best to preserve themselves during the continuous dragon-made earthquakes, the atmosphere in the Mage’s Spire was not good either.
Each Mage’s Spire was an outstanding building in Stania, and the shaking naturally wouldn’t affect their foundations and stability.
But the changes in Stania were observed by Patton and Chris.
“That damned Black Dragon, how dare he…”
Patton angrily rubbed his forehead, unknowingly tearing off a large handful of white hair, but he was unaware of it.
Old man Chris looked pale, with his eyes widened and bloodshot.
His body was slightly trembling, and he muttered in a low voice, “The Master of Magic will surely kill us…”
The Master of Magic was the true ruler of Stania, and even the monarch of the Western Empire had to show respect when meeting him in person.
However, this big shot had locked himself in a secret chamber deep within Stania a long time ago and had not shown his face for hundreds of years.
“Ah, I empathize with your situation…”
Mente looked at the two old men with a cold smile. He didn’t care about the life or death of these two old men; what he cared about was whether they could successfully kill the damned Black Dragon this time.
Thus, he gently patted the shoulders of the two old men, speaking softly, “As long as we get rid of that damned Black Dragon, I can help you rebuild Stania with my own funds.
Although it’s impossible to repair all the damaged magic cannons, at least you can have something to say to the Master of Magic when you face him.”
It has to be said that Mente’s words moved the two old men. Moreover, they had already harbored great hatred towards Otto by now.
Even if Mente hadn’t added that much, they would have used all their strength to annihilate the damned Black Dragon without mercy.
“Don’t waste your words, that Black Dragon won’t live much longer!”
Patton, with a dark face, pointed his finger adorned with dazzling light. As his finger moved through the air, the Cannon of Truth below Stania slowly aimed its muzzle at Otto.
The irregular source of light at the muzzle had already swelled to its maximum size, completely obscuring the complicated magic array from view.
“Black Dragon, regret facing Stania in another world!”
As the old fat man sneered without stopping, just after his words, the light from the muzzle of the Cannon of Truth shone brightly. Then, a thick beam of light swept towards Otto directly.
Unlike ordinary magic cannons, Truth doesn’t rely on the magical power of the magic crystals to release various high-level spells but uses a simpler and more violent method that directly applies magical power.
Though it sounds a bit crude, it is very effective.
Facing the rapidly approaching dazzling light ray, Otto stopped maintaining his Thunderflame Breath, and the Lightning Spear in his front claw gradually turned to stardust and disappeared into the air.
Even Otto sensed a touch of threat in Truth’s attack.
“Interesting…”
With his eyes narrowed, Otto surprisingly flew towards the beam of Truth’s light, completely enveloping himself in the destructive light column.
It felt a little hot, a bit sour and numb, and somewhat painful.
That was the sensation Otto experienced when bathed in the light of Truth. As his strength grew stronger, he hadn’t felt this sensation for a long time.
The attack from the Truth’s light beam was very special, and it did not seem to belong to any magical attribute that Otto could understand. Therefore, among Otto’s many powers, only the anti-magic ability from the Death Lord was effective.
However, the damage from the Truth’s light beam continued to corrode Otto’s body as if its source was much higher than Otto had expected.
Unconsciously, the protective coating covering Otto’s body had already been eroded. Even his shiny black scales began to rot and collapse due to the corrosion of the Truth’s light beam.
It seemed that Otto was gradually heading towards destruction in the light of Truth, and all this was witnessed by most of the people in Stania.
In this short period of time, Stania had experienced too many unexpected setbacks.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the goddess of victory seemed to be on their side.
Gradually, cheers began to arise among people in Stania. Even Mentor, who was in the Mage’s Spire, slapped the wall beside him, his face full of joy.
