MTLNOVEL Chapter 26: Lich and Dragon (3)
Lightning rolled in the sky, crisscrossing.
Aiklion looked up at the sky. After a brief silence, he murmured to himself, "Is it going to rain?"
Lowering his head, he continued flipping through the book, studying how to communicate with the beastmen.
...
"Quick, mount up." Andrew helped Christina onto the horse, glanced nervously behind, and said, "We need to leave here, as far as possible."
Saying so, he also pulled the young beastman onto the horse.
The two horses galloped side by side, swiftly heading in the opposite direction of the Lich and the dragon.
Fierce wind, lightning.
*Compared to the seemingly awakened world, their movements were so insignificant.*
...
"Who are you?" Andrejewitsch roared in a deep voice, "Do I know you?"
The voice echoed in the sky.
"We didn't know you before, but we will soon. Ha ha ha ha." Bruto lightly tapped his wand on the ground.
"What is your relationship with Christina?" another golden dragon asked.
"Christina? Sorry, we don't know any Christina." Bruto replied.
"Do we have to say so much to them?" Simon interrupted quietly, "We're just here to rob them, aren't we?"
"Firstly, let me repeat, we are not robbing." Bruto responded softly, "We are persuading lost sheep to hand over their money, to advance our great and righteous cause."
"Does this have anything to do with talking nonsense?"
"Of course it does, we are messengers of justice. Whenever messengers of justice do something, they always need to prepare sufficient reasons first. The conversation before the battle is for this preparation."
"Uh, is it really like that?"
"Of course. I have plenty of experience in this. Let me handle it. I already have the reason ready."
"What are you mumbling about?" Andrejewitsch roared.
Looking up, Bruto coughed twice and said, "Allow us to introduce ourselves, we are the White Bone Holy Light Court."
"The White Bone Holy Light Court? Our Golden Dragon Clan has no grudge against your White Bone Holy Light Court!"
"Yes, but... uh, may I ask which one of you is Andrejewitsch?"
"I am." Andrejewitsch answered.
"Alright, then it's you. Did you attack Linlopes?"
"Were you sent by Linlopes?"
"No, we are just passing by as messengers of justice, we are preparing to..."
Before Bruto could finish his sentence, Simon had already drawn his sword and swung it forcefully. A spell was sent flying towards the two golden dragons.
The two golden dragons hurriedly dodged.
"I haven't finished speaking!"
"Shut up! Do you want Aikleion to find out? The reason is sufficient, just start fighting!"
After a moment's hesitation, Bruto also sent a wave of gray magic power towards the opponents.
A muddled battle began just like that.
It was muddled only because the reasons for starting it were unclear. At least from the perspective of the dragon elders, they could never have imagined that the White Bone Holy Light Court would ambush their people here. But it happened.
The White Bone Holy Light Court, a haphazardly born organization without strict control mechanisms, compounded by a group of completely worldly old Liches, meant that for this organization, any kind of situation could occur.
...
Large, rune-covered arrays appeared in the sky, rotating like gears. Black light beams descended from the heavens.
The enraged golden dragon opened its mouth wide, spraying fiery Dragon Breath. Dragon Breath hot enough to ignite rocks. In an instant, the cold wilderness seemed to turn into a volcanic crater, everything burning. The emitted red light painted the sky scarlet.
The two golden dragons howled, roared, and struggled in the flames. Their every move brought calamity to the surroundings. A giant rock only needed a swipe of their tail to turn into powder instantly.
Meteor-like fire rain penetrated the clouds and fell to the ground. The scorching aura expanded wildly, wave after wave sweeping across in all directions.
The scene was like an apocalyptic frenzy.
If Andrew had not just left from there, he wouldn't even know who the golden dragons were fighting. Apart from the arrays swirling in the sky and the occasional appearance of gray aura around the golden dragons, there were almost no traces of the golden dragons' opponent.
Christina, who pulled the horse to a stop, was stunned. The young beastman was too shocked to speak.
Even though they had escaped nearly ten miles away, the shock still felt so vivid.
To the creatures of this world, they seemed so powerful that everything else besides them appeared insignificant like dust.
"Hurry up, who knows who might win. Before they finish the fight, we need to leave here." Andrew turned the horse and ran towards the distance.
"Hmm." Christina nodded heavily and quickly followed.
Behind them was a scene like hell.
Strictly speaking, this should be the first battle between the White Bone Holy Light Court and the Golden Dragon Clan. A few days later, Gray issued an order to prohibit any rash conflict with the Golden Dragon Clan. Which, it was said, was related to this battle.
...
Andrew, Christina, and Turuk, the three of them, rode two horses wildly across the desert, heading north. They kept running and running. After running twenty kilometers away, they could still clearly feel the hot wind blowing from behind, hear the muffled sound. Looking back, they could still see the sky painted red by the firelight.
