Chapter 683 - 413: Breakthrough at the Last Moment? Four Claws Shatter the Legendary Dream! (3)
The Blue Dragon Zoraya glided gracefully and lethally in the sky.
With each sweep of her massive wings, countless emerald Thunder Arrows rained down upon the earth.
These lightning arrows, imbued with venom and potent paralyzing effects, not only pierced through the Flame Shield the Fire Giants attempted to conjure but also stiffened and slowed those self-proclaimed tough-skinned Mountain Giants, causing large areas of decay to appear on their surface.
All around her,
Groups of Blue Dragons summoned raging hurricanes and thunder, sweeping mercilessly across the giants’ ground.
The Red Dragon Samantha similarly did not dive down hastily to engage in her beloved hand-to-hand combat.
With the advantage of flying altitude, her dragon mouth opened and closed, and deep within her throat, radiant and complex Alchemy Runes lit up.
Bursting Fireballs, enhanced through special runes, fell like meteors, crashing into the densest areas of the giants’ formation.
The fireballs exploded, transforming into relentless sticky fiery flames that burned the giants, causing them to roar in agony and rage.
The Iron Dragon Solrog also maintained a safe distance throughout.
He utilized his proficient Mind Mage skills, with intangible spiritual energy ripples constantly disrupting the giants below, especially those Giant Mages attempting spellcasting, frequently interrupting their casting process, causing it to backfire upon themselves.
The Golden Dragon Nasha, on the other hand, displayed a different combat style.
She transformed directly into a stream of light, boldly charging toward the giants’ ground formation.
At times scorching with fiery flames, at times delaying with frost, at times assaulting with thunder, at times shielding with rock armor... she wielded the four elemental forces of earth, water, fire, and wind with proficient efficiency, adopting distinctly different attack strategies against various types of giants; wherever her dragon form passed, giants fell one after another.
The Purple Crystal Dragon Lion, the Phoenix, the Holy Spirit Deer... these lords, averaging level 18 or above, were equally unstoppable.
The other young and adult dragons formed squadrons, launching dives or long-range attacks against the giants using their breath and claws.
The giants possessed strong physical power and defense, yet found themselves passive and embarrassed when faced with agile and varied attacks from the heavens.
Hill Giants and Stone Giants hurled giant stones with all their might.
The dragons, nimble in movement, easily beat their wings to dodge.
The distant flame attacks spewed by Fire Giants similarly struggled to hit the dragons maneuvering at high speed in the skies.
After a brief yet intense confrontation, a Hill Giant warrior, only slightly smaller than the Mountain King, let out a thunderous roar.
"Raise your arms! Let these arrogant flying lizards feel the heavy restraint of the earth!"
Following his command, all the Hill Giants ceased their futile ranged attacks simultaneously.
The giants collectively roared skyward, suddenly raising their pillar-like arms, palms facing the rampaging Dragon Group in the sky, as a torrent of massive earth energy surged from their burly bodies, resonating powerfully with the land beneath.
Hum——!
A low and earth-shaking hum echoed across the battlefield.
In an instant, a colossal gravity field enveloped the entire battlefield, as if an invisible giant hand pressed down on this space.
The dust in the air seemed to become several times heavier instantly, plummeting rapidly downward.
The Dragon Group wreaking havoc in the sky suddenly felt their bodies sinking, as if countless resilient chains materialized out of nowhere, entwining their wings and bodies; their previously effortless flight became arduous, and maintaining altitude became laborious, involuntarily beginning to slowly descend.
This is exactly the dreaded Anti-Air Skill mastered by the Hill Giants, the lifelong nemesis of the Dragon Race.
By collectively channeling earth energy, they form a powerful regional super-gravity field, specifically designed to counter those enemies in the sky.
"Can’t fly now, you damned reptiles! Now, fall down!"
A Mountain Giant observing the noticeably slowed Dragon Group, grinned as he raised his Giant Stone Rod, muscles taut, ready to welcome the soon-to-fall enemies out of control.
However, in the next moment, something happened that left all the battle-ready giants in disbelief.
Despite the sudden heavy influence, the dragons in the sky, though their flight posture became heavy and sluggish, did not spiral out of control and fall as the giants expected or hoped.
Every giant dragon’s neck, wing root connections, or stout wrist joint began to emit a stable glow from unassuming metallic ornaments engraved with intricate runes.
The flowing runes emitted a stable energy wave, significantly neutralizing the gravitational impact.
The Dragon Race has always been known for their innate pride, rarely willing to rely on external aids, especially the power of Alchemy Tools; they typically placed more trust in their innate fangs, breath, and resilient scale armor.
However, the dragon group under the King of Molten Iron’s command was different.
No need to say more, this type of alchemical equipment specifically designed to counteract Anti-Air measures was almost standard for every dragon.
"Foolish idiots! Did you really think we came unprepared?"
Samantha let out a sharp and mocking dragon cry.
Seizing the moment of the giants’ brief stunned stupor below, she suddenly executed a swift dive, dangerous red-glowing ultra-high-temperature cutting blades shooting from her dragon claws, easily slicing across the Stone Giant’s hard neck.
