Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Corpse Wizard King wanted to mount a surprise attack on the tightly defended Giant Dragon Castle and rout the Giant Dragon Domain’s elites in one move. Fortunately, he’d made ample preparations and came up with a detailed plan long ago. The few Poison Gas Grenades were followed by Fuel Oil Grenades thrown by the Sea Dragons Battle Team from a high altitude. Those grenades would explode upon touching anything, giving rise to a large fire.

Swoosh!

It was the late autumn season, and the Giant Dragon Castle’s interior was very dry. There was also strong wind from the Giant Dragon Mountain Range. The fire got out of hand, and the long-range attack corps commanded by the Burning Fire Elf King only added fuel to the flames. The large fire quickly spread to every corner of the Giant Dragon Castle, and in the twinkling of an eye, the whole Giant Dragon Castle was engulfed in a sea of flames. Many defensive structures were devoured by the flames before they had a chance to perform their functions.

Over the past several years, the Giant Dragon Lord had constructed a large number of easily guarded forts inside the castle to defend against enemies’ attack. In the past, they depended upon those defensive structures to repeatedly block strong enemies’ attacks, so they didn’t expect that they would now encumber the soldiers.

A large number of soldiers were crammed in a narrow channel and couldn’t move a finger. They couldn’t advance forward, and they couldn’t retreat. They also couldn’t destroy the bunker. They would either be suffocated by the thick smoke or burned to death by the raging flames. A few of the soldiers, who had a Low-Level Deity’s power, could fight reluctantly in the air. But they didn’t have enough time to get into formation before being quickly defeated by Dark Dragons, Twin-legged Flying Dragons, or any of the other strong Flying Magical Beasts that protected the Magical Beast Army.

“The Magical Tower, hurry up! Open the Ultimate Magical Towers, and defeat the Magical Beasts in the air. Hurry up!”

“Spellcasters, hurry! Climb into the Magical Towers as quickly as you can.”

…

After the commanders yelled out their orders, the spellcaster teams came back to their senses and rushed swiftly into the tall Magical Towers. They planned to defeat the invaders’ Magical Beasts with strong magical attacks. The use of the Magical Towers would consume a large number of Black Crystals, so usually, all Magical Towers other than a few near the castle’s gate were sealed.

No one expected that the Magical Beast Army would quietly attack the Giant Dragon Castle, and no one expected that the Magical Beast Army’s attack would be so terrifying. A few Magical Towers had already been destroyed by the Shadow Wizard Winnink, and they hadn’t given the rest of the forces any early warning, nor had they attacked the Flying Magical Beasts in the air. They were completely useless!

“Mammoth Cavalry, attack them and destroy all Magical Towers.” The Corpse Wizard King looked at the confused guards inside the castle and sneered coldly. He waved his hand and dispatched the restless Mammoth Cavalry. The Giant Ape King took the lead on his God-Level Mammoth. He raised a large heavy rod and rushed out.

Rumble!

After a deafening noise echoed out, the damaged castle’s walls collapsed thoroughly, and the Giant Ape King’s Mammoth Cavalry rushed inside. They charged fiercely, and they cut a bloody path, crushing everything in their way. They also rushed to destroy the Magical Towers.

The bloodthirsty and berserk Siva Apes possessed great power, and the God-Level Mammoths possessed great thrust power. They were like heavy tanks. They were the Magical Beast Army’s trump card on the ground, and they were finally revealing their power to the crowd. They killed everything in their way, and even a Mid-Level Deity didn’t dare to block the teams of God-Level Apes and God-Level Mammoths head-on, let alone soldiers with only a Low-Level Deity Stage, Sacred-Level or Domain-Level’s power.

The coordination of the Mammoth Cavalry’s peerless thrust power with Magical Beasts in the air released their power thoroughly!

Poison Gas Grenades that could paralyze the nerves, Fuel Oil Grenades that would explode upon touching anything, Flying Magical Beasts with sharp attacks, and invincible Mammoth Cavalry. The Corpse Wizard King’s plan was composed of several stages, and he didn’t leave the enemy any time to take a breather. In the twinkling of an eye, the Giant Dragon Domain, which had been caught off-guard, descended into chaos and suffered disastrous casualties.

“Lord, the Dragon Cavalry. If we don’t dispatch the Dragon Cavalry right away, we will lose everything.

“Lord, if you don’t issue orders now, it will be too late!”

…

Upon discerning that the situation was far from good, the Giant Dragon Domain’s commanders retreated and defended the Castle Lord Manor. They placed their hope on the Dragon Cavalry. The Magical Beast Army’s attack was terrifying, and the crowd couldn’t think of any way to repel the Magical Beast Army other than using the Giant Dragon Domain’s best Dragon Cavalry.

Was this the Magical Beast Divine Branch’s real power?

The Giant Dragon Lord looked at the Magical Beasts, which filled the sky and covered the land, and shook his head bitterly. He’d noticed some fine details, and he’d realized that the Magical Beast Divine Branch wasn’t so simple. But he still hadn’t expected that they were so powerful. He also hadn’t expected that they would travel tens of thousands of miles in a night and mount a surprise attack on the unprepared Giant Dragon Castle.

“The Dragon Cavalry should attack the enemy’s Flying Magical Beasts, and the other units should join hands and attack the enemies on the ground. We must kill those mammoths at the highest speed possible.” The Giant Dragon Lord discerned that the situation was not looking very good, and he didn’t hesitate any longer. He dispatched the Dragon Cavalry, which was the Giant Dragon Domain’s trump card.

Roar!

A team of ferocious Dragon Cavalry let out roars and rushed into the sky quickly. Ridden by bright-eyed knights, they all soared into the night. They had the Dark Dragons, known as the beasts with the toughest bodies, as well as the shining Golden Dragons, and Sea Dragons engulfed by white fog. Their number reached just a thousand, but they had a great imposing manner, and they had much more variety than the Magical Beast Army’s dragons.

“All enemies who invaded our Giant Dragon Castle should die.”

A commander-like Dragon Knight wore an ice-cold look and he spoke before he rode the giant dragon beneath him into battle. He rushed into a group of Twin-legged Flying Dragons in the vicinity and thrust his sharp Dragon Spear to the Flying Dragon King’s heart. He was very swift, and he was followed closely by 1000 troops of the Dragon Cavalry. They formed a large black mass, and they flew ferociously.

Dragon Cavalry?

When the Flying Dragon King Seylius saw the Dragon Cavalry Commander flying toward him, he detected the intense Energy Ripples within his body and his powerful murderous aura. Seylius’s pupils contracted, and he flapped his wings to rise up anxiously. He dodged the opponent’s Dragon Spear and struck the dragon beneath the opponent.

If one wanted to capture bandits, he must first capture their leader, and if one wanted to kill a knight, he must start with his horse.

As long as he killed the ferocious Giant Dragon, the remaining Dragon Knight would be nothing to worry about.

Sizzle!

The Flying Dragon King Seylius was very swift, but the reaction speed of the Black Giant Dragon beneath the opponent wasn’t low either, and it suddenly sped up. It slammed the Flying Dragon King hard and flailed its tail at him strongly. The tail moved at a strange angle and struck the Flying Dragon King’s soft belly. The dragon’s movements were very noisy and as swift as lightning. It had at least an apex High-Level Deity’s power!

Thump!

The Flying Dragon King Seylius’s claw struck the Black Giant Dragon’s neck and tore out a large part of its flesh and skin. Blood gushed out of the Giant Dragon’s wound, but Seylius’s head was struck by the Giant Dragon, and he got very dizzy. A large wound had also opened in his belly thanks to the Giant Dragon’s tail. The wound was badly mangled, and blood spurted out of it.

The Dragon Cavalry Commander was very powerful, and the Giant Dragon ridden by him was even stronger. It greatly surpassed the other Giant Dragons, and even the Flying Dragon King Seylius, who faced it head-on, was slightly weak in comparison.

“Scum that invaded the Giant Dragon Castle! Your filthy soul doesn’t have the right to enter the Dragon Tomb. Die!” the Dark Giant Dragon roared, carrying the Dragon Cavalry Commander toward the injured Flying Dragon King Seylius. It planned to tear off Seylius’s head with its claws, and it sped up again. The Giant Dragon’s black scales shone brightly, and its large claws glinted coldly.

“Kill! Kill him! Kill!”

“Kill all of them. Don’t spare anyone. Kill!”

…

Upon seeing the Giant Dragon below the Dragon Cavalry Commander revealing its great power, the other soldiers’ morale was raised greatly. They all shouted loudly and charged ferociously toward the Twin-legged Flying Dragons opposite them. As for the Giant Dragon Domain’s soldiers watching the battle from the ground, they cheered loudly as they saw hope for achieving victory. They were all excited!

“Death Ripples!”

“Moon Blade!”

When the Giant Dragon Domain’s people cheered loudly, and when the Flying Dragon King Seylius was in great danger, the Corpse Wizard King, Blood Angel Ophelia, and the others rushed over. They cast the Demon God Battle Formation, and they focused their power. Ferociously, they attacked the Dragon Cavalry Commander and the Black Giant Dragon below him. In an instant, the Black Giant Dragon’s body was mangled badly, and it let out a miserable cry.

The Black Giant Dragon’s individual power wasn’t any lower than the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, or the others; in fact, it was even slighter higher. But the power of the Corpse Wizard King and his companions was increased greatly by the Demon God Battle Formation, and the Black Giant Dragon was no match for their joint attack.

Ah!

The Black Giant Dragon was in pain, and it flew around crazily. It also threw the Dragon Cavalry Commander off its back. It was caught off-guard, and it got a splitting headache. The Corpse Wizard King’s Death Ripples had destroyed its soul’s defense, and it suffered a deadly soul attack. It felt an intense stab of pain in its head, as though a sharp dagger had been thrust into its skull. It let out an aggrieved cry before it fell heavily on the ground with a rumble.

Had they really instantly killed a Giant Dragon with an apex High-Level Deity’s power?

The excited and spirited soldiers looked at the Black Giant Dragon that laid motionless on the ground before they looked up at the ferocious Corpse Wizard King and others in the air. The soldiers descended into silence for a moment before they let out an alarmed cry and dispersed in confusion. From commanders with great authority down to the poorest soldiers, they all ran around wildly. The Magical Beast Divine Branch’s power was beyond their imaginations, and it was stronger by far than the enemies they had faced in the past. They could instantly kill even a Giant Dragon, and staying here was obviously a road to ruin.

Ordinary soldiers scattered in confusion, and it was the same for the lofty Giant Dragon Lord. He was protected by several personal guards, and he rushed into a secret passage in the Giant Dragon Castle. He planned to take advantage of the chaos to escape this crisis. But, after he took several steps, he discovered that two people blocked his path.

“If I’ve guessed correctly, this person should be the lord. We have just met. So, why do you want to leave so urgently?” Yang Ling chuckled as he obstructed the man’s path along with the Golden Roc. For this operation, he’d allowed the Corpse Wizard King to plan and direct everything by himself. As for Yang Ling, he had set his gaze long ago on the prudent Giant Dragon Lord.

“Magical Beast Divine Branch, good. It’s you who have cornered me. You should all die!” The Giant Dragon Lord hadn’t been able to detect the power of Yang Ling and the Golden Roc, and he suddenly realized that he’d come across real powerhouses. He hesitated for a moment before he decisively began to recite some awkward-sounding incantations. In front of the stunned crowd’s eyes, he turned slowly into a large Dragon Turtle.
