Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 598 - 475: Elf and Silver Dragon
Opening their wings, the celestial warriors finally unleashed their full strength. Even though it remained at the peak of the ten dragon marks, it was completely on a different level compared to before.
At this moment, the elf sisters also felt a hint of pressure. They combined their swords together, and the two swords had surprisingly turned into dual-handed greatswords. They began clashing with the celestial warriors and their dragon-slaying sword.
"The celestial warrior possesses the strength of ten dragon marks, but I can’t discern the strength of the elves," said Ai Lin, looking puzzled at Long Yi.
"Elves don’t calculate their strength in the same way," replied Long Yi.
"Then what do they use?"
"I’m not sure, but I remember the Elf Empress once telling me. The Giants had confirmed that the power of elves is limitless. As long as they wish, their fighting ability could exceed the Giants and the Dragon Clan at any time. They are simply too lazy to enhance their strength," Long Yi said with a bitter smile. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Ai Lin’s eyes widened in astonishment. This was the first time she had heard of such a thing!
The Power of Light and the Power of Hell are similar in that they both possess a strong corrosive nature. Two celestial warriors now looked like two large bulbs radiating a massive amount of glory, anyone enveloped by this brilliant light would be eroded by the Power of Light. Even the spectators outside the field felt uncomfortable, yet they were still under the protection of the light shield around the field!
Seeing the elves in the field retreating, the celestial warriors began to laugh proudly.
"How dare the lowly elves from the human realm challenge us, the Celestial Clan! Kneel and surrender, and I will pardon your wrongdoings!"
A celestial warrior roared, allowing his Power of Light to surge towards the elves like a storm.
"We don’t understand your words," responded an elf, "You are nothing but guards in the Heaven Realm. The word ’surrender’ cannot be applied to you."
Immediately, the celestial warrior who spoke was left speechless on the spot.
Elves aren’t adept at attacking verbally; they are best at focusing on the matter at hand.
"Hahaha!" roared Long Yi from the stands, "Pretentious attempts only make you look foolish. Hahaha!"
The celestial warriors, who were mocked by the elves and their own target, Long Yi, were thoroughly enraged.
"If you refuse to surrender, then die!"
Boom!
Their Power of Light boosted to the maximum, the two celestial warriors, resembling burning comets, hurtled towards the elves. They didn’t even raise the swords in their hands. They wanted to burn the elves to ashes with the purest Power of Light alone!
However, at this moment, two unimaginably beautiful girls emerged from behind the elves. With their silver hair and armor, they effortlessly halted the ’comets’.
In an instant, like a fierce wind, unparalleled dragon power surged from their slender hands, suppressing the Power of Light emanating from the celestial warriors.
"Is this?"
The councilors watching from the Floating Island, stood up in disbelief.
"A Silver Dragon!"
Chairman Gulelie, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up. The revelation that Suolin could transform into a White Dragon capable of using the Fighting Aura hadn’t even excited him this much.
In both the human world and Dragon Island, the affiliation of the Silver Dragon has always been a contentious issue.
The crux of the matter revolved around whether the Silver Dragon was indeed part of the Dragon Clan.
Similar in appearance to the Dragon Clan and possessing equal power, there was no apparent difference in their Dragon Power.
However, Silver Dragons possessed abilities that the Dragon Clan did not.
The ability to use both the Fighting Aura and Mana.
Eight thousand years ago, the elves never had a Dragon Rider. Eight thousand years ago, a strange ’dragon’ fell into the Silver Lake, and from then on, the elf tribe gained a new protective race - the Silver Dragon.
The Dragon Island had once summoned a Silver Dragon, asking it to share the ability to use Mana and Fighting Aura. However, the Silver Dragon completely ignored this summoning. A Silver Dragon once blatantly stated that they were Silver Dragons and not part of the Dragon Clan, thereby they were under no obligation to heed the Dragon Clan’s commands.
At the time, the outraged Dragon Clan immediately gathered thousands from their clan and headed towards the Forest of Elves, where the Silver Dragons resided. But they found that the forest had mysteriously disappeared.
Yes, an entire forest had disappeared, but there were ten Silver Dragons waiting for them.
The result was a humiliation for the entire Dragon Clan that lasts to this day; countless pure-blood dragons were toyed with by those ten Silver Dragons for an entire day!
There were only reasons to justify this.
The Silver Dragons continually used an array of Fighting Aura techniques and magic spells!
In a direct physical brawl, a pure-blood dragon found it hard to penetrate the Silver Dragon’s Fighting Aura defense. When trying to escape, the Silver Dragons enhanced their wings with a Wind-Control Spell, significantly improving their flight speed and mid-air agility.
No need to say, the Dragon Clan truly is a perfect life form. Their Dragon Power was nearly inexhaustible, and the Fighting Aura and Mana derived from it was equally unending.
For an entire day, while countless pure-blood dragons could not do anything to the Silver Dragons, they lost dozens of dragons to the myriad techniques of the Silver Dragons!
Since that event, the Dragon Island became wary of the elves and Silver Dragons. They took every opportunity to try and capture a Silver Dragon, but the outcome was always the same - the Silver Dragons were never afraid of the pure-blood dragons. After suffering heavy losses, Dragon Island finally realized that they could not deal with the Silver Dragons on their own.
Now, the elves were concealed, their whereabouts unknown. Silver Dragons were even harder to find, yet Dragon Island’s covetousness towards them never ceased.
And now, in this field itself, a Silver Dragon has appeared!
Two of them!
Clearly, mastery of magic allows the Silver Dragon to easily transform into human form, and even in human form, it still has immense power, a force that couldn’t be withstood even by mighty celestial warriors!
Power of Light was easily extinguished, then the two silver-haired girls stepped forward simultaneously, each raising a hand.
Mysterious runes emerged from the ground, from which gigantic crystals sprouted, swiftly enveloping them. Menacing arcs of black electricity encircled the two girls!
Up in the sky, an impossibly huge magic array was slowly forming!
"Dark Impact! It’s an upgraded version of Darkness Descending!" Ai Lin exclaimed, her eyes wide in shock.
Once, Long Yi had been trapped in the Dragon God’s space by a mage casting Darkness Descending. This magic array used tremendous gravity to trap its victims, then summoned a meteor imbued with dark power to strike from above. Theoretically, such an ability could kill any of the Dragon Clan in one strike!
What people saw now was Dark Impact. The force binding victims was no longer gravity but Pure Darkness. Furthermore, the array in the sky no longer summoned a meteor, but instead blasted down the raw essence of dark power!
The Power of Darkness was the antithesis of the Power of Light. By using Dark Impact, they were specifically targeting the attributes of the celestial warriors!
The two celestial warriors, already suppressed, were terrified beyond words. Their bodies were being constantly invaded by dark lightning. If the Power of Light could counter the Force of Death, then the Power of Darkness was the natural enemy of the Power of Light. They felt utterly powerless, the Power of Darkness even began to draw the Power of Light out of them, neutralizing it!
Who exactly were these dangerously beautiful silver-haired girls and why were they so powerful!
"No! Foul play! Where did these people come from!"
A celestial warrior struggled, he was Nim, one of the guardians of the celestial prince. He didn’t want to be here on this damn mission, forced to participate in this ridiculous competition and trapped by dark power.
Was this how he would die?
"No, they didn’t cheat! They’re Dragon Knights!" bellowed Nim’s comrade.
"Dammit! I thought all the shapeshifting dragons were elders!"
"Idiot! They’re Silver Dragons! Can’t you damn well pay attention to your enemies for once!"
Pay attention to his enemies?
Nim nearly wept at the idea. As a noble celestial, he looked down on every life in the human realm. Why should he care about any of them?
Boom!
A gigantic fissure appeared in the magic array in the sky, out of which a surge of Dark Power was about to erupt!
"We surrender! Surrender!"
Nim shouted hoarsely, realizing there was no hope of escape. These Silver Dragons were intimidatingly strong. As one of the two most perfect species created by God, the Dragon Clan’s abilities in combat and destruction were innate. Even limited by a maximum of ten Dragon Marks, the Dragon Clan could still display destructive power far beyond his!
Ding-dong!
A bell tolled, signifying the Elves’ successful advancement, but everyone’s gaze remained on the sky. The magic array had expanded rather than disappeared. There was no stopping such an enormous array! The celestial warriors were doomed!
On the floating island above, Councilor Gulelie clenched his fists tightly until his knuckles turned white. This was an opportunity! If the Silver Dragons killed the celestial warriors, then Dragon Island would have reason to act against the Silver Dragons!
This time it would take place on Dragon Island, with millions of dragons! Against two Silver Dragons. Furthermore, they also had the superior weapons on the floating island, it would be absolutely possible to catch the Silver Dragons in one fell swoop!
"No! I don’t want to die! Don’t kill me! Mommy!"
Nim screamed out.
At the same time, the two Silver Dragon girls waved their hands simultaneously and the runes flickered, the magic array in the sky began to transform. The array remained the same, but the fissure suddenly flipped upwards!
"Spell inversion!" exclaimed Ai Lin and Little Zi simultaneously, both being Master Mages themselves, they were terrified by such extreme magical control. Some mages, who have the ability to invert spells, intend to reverse an opponent’s attack spells in battle - of course, with low odds of success. But now, these two Silver Dragon girls could even invert such a massive spell!
The fissure in the magic array in the sky eventually ruptured.
Roar——
Like a monstrous beast howling, Dark Power erupted out without any hindrance, charging towards the floating island in the sky. The councilors on the island could only feel intense tremors, and the images vanished without a trace.
After a moment, the tremors stopped. Those watching from below stared at the sky, completely flabbergasted.
The once sturdy light shield had a gaping hole corroded by Dark Power, and a hollow space had been burned into the part of the floating island beneath. As for what was once inside that space, no one knew!
Is this the power of the Silver Dragons?
Or perhaps, is this the power the Dragon Clan was originally meant to have?
Yake’s eyeballs throbbed incessantly. Now, the Dragon Clan was docile, meant to be ridden by humans. But, once able to freely display Dragon Power, the sight before them would be the result!
Damn it!
If my dragons could freely use their Dragon Power, what would I need Dragon Knights for!
Yake slapped Tilian’s shoulder hard.
"Rest assured, your majesty, I’m thinking the same thing," Tilian whispered back softly, his eyes flickering as he watched the Silver Dragons on the battlefield. (To be continued.
