Age of Adepts

0934 Chapter 0934 - The Crisis Behind the Scenes

The huge pit was curling with smoke.

A huge dragon claw full of scorch marks and sludge picked up the edge of the pit, then revealed a hideous and twisted massive dragon head.

The nobility and elegance from before the battle had flown away, and Toriel stared at the huge and clanking metal dragon a mile away with his scarlet eyes filled with hatred and rage.

The other side was now quickly adjusting its body, aiming its high dragon head back at this side, while the two tall figures on its back were still standing. In particular, the odd expression on that human wizard's face that seemed to be smiling was deeply piercing Toriel's heart.

Heaven forbid, Grim had no intention of mocking and ridiculing a 4th rank dragon. However, at this moment, after having just suffered a violent loss, Toriel's heart was sensitive and fragile, and any change in the expression on his enemy's face would be regarded as contempt and ridicule by him.

Therefore with a silent roar, Toriel's huge dragon claw picked up the edge of the pit, and his entire huge body once again turned into a stream of light to rush at the enemy.

If in the previous battle, it was still hunting and attacking, then right now, it was fighting for its life!

The shot from earlier had blasted Toriel at the left side of its back, leaving a massive blood hole half a meter in size there. The gushing dragon blood had been blocked by a short mouthful of dragon crystals, and although the growth of the crystal clusters within the wound caused it pain, what caused it even more pain was the matter of the trauma itself.

It, a 4th rank Amethyst Dragon, with hundreds of dragons under its command, it was at least a powerful leader of the dragons in the Lance Position. But today, not only did it fail to save the subordinates in its territory, but it also let a Gryphon-like 3rd rank human sorcerer injure and damage its noble and perfect body.

This... for Toriel, it was simply an unbearably great humiliation!

Thus, by now, it had forgotten about benefits and compromises, as well as danger and pain, and had even left its false glory behind, fighting the other side seriously and cruelly for the first time.

As soon as Toriel was so serious, the Magic Armored Puppet Dragon's own flaws immediately leaked out.

Not being able to fly, slow movement, these chronic problems could also be covered up quite a bit with the right defensive counter-attack tactics.

But once the 4th stage dragon on the opposite side abandoned its false glory and gave up those useless tricks, the danger of the Amethyst Dragon Toriel immediately skyrocketed, frequently forcing the Magic Puppet Dragon and the Grim on its backbone into a life-or-death situation.

If it wasn't for the scruples of the two terrifying goblin cannons, I'm afraid that Toriel would have already jumped on top of the Demonic Armor Puppet Dragon's backbone and used his sharp claws and teeth to struggle to dismantle its huge and sturdy body.

The amethyst dragons, in between fast swimming and dodging, or using dragon breath, or using long tail, or using magic gems, sent an attack to the body of the magic weapon puppet dragon.

On the other hand, Grim and Elemental Demons, who were perched on top of the Magic Puppet Dragon's back, were maneuvering the Goblin Cannon to fire wildly at maximum frequency, sometimes trying to dodge the terrifying dragon's breath that the Amethyst Dragon threw in the air.

As for Mary, she chose to wander around the outskirts of the battlefield.

She also ran to attack the Amethyst Dragon at the right time, but unfortunately was forced back by a thick crystallized dragon's breath after only throwing a Boiling Blood Technique on her opponent's wound. Whether her attack had hurt the Amethyst Dragon or not was unknown, but the Amethyst Dragon's Crystallized Dragon Breath had turned half of her body into a crystal clear crystal cluster was a reality.

If she hadn't fled quickly and reached the cruising mothership in time to suck the entire blood of a 2nd rank draconian prisoner of war, she was afraid that the crystalline clusters that invaded her body and grew haphazardly could turn her into a humanoid crystal completely.

The fragility of a 3rd rank witch in front of a 4th rank dragon was thus evident!

To be honest, without the force field protection of the Demonic Puppet Dragon and the sworn protection of the Elemental Demonic Armament, I'm afraid Grim wouldn't have been able to last longer than Mary.

So, the two sides fought against each other, until the earth within a 30-mile radius was completely ravaged by the feet, before a preliminary result was achieved.

After this long, 6-hour-long fight, Grim finally managed to get the basic data he needed.

Toriel, 4th rank Amethyst Dragon (gemstone), male, giant dragon spit belongs to the more partial crystallized dragon breath, light in size among dragons, loves powerful magical gems, has special combat skills such as light refraction, visual evasion, and attack deflection.

Its basic attribute data is roughly: strength 44 physique 42 agility 33 spirit 42.......

In contrast, the Magic Puppet Dragon's base attribute data was: strength 48 physique 46 agility 17 spirit 21....

In terms of strength and physique, the Demonic Puppet Dragon clearly had an advantage, but it couldn't form the basic conditions for victory. On the other hand, in terms of movement speed, it was clearly being dangled by the Amethyst Dragon. If it wasn't for the protection of the hedgehog-like magical energy cannon around its body, I'm afraid the Demon Armor Puppet Dragon would have been dismantled by the Amethyst Dragon into a pile of scrap metal.

Therefore, the real key to winning this battle was whether or not the Amethyst Dragon could restrict the movement of the Demon Armor Puppet Dragon from the intense fire of its cannons, or whether or not it could break the densely packed Demon Energy Cannons on its surface, as well as the two Goblin Cannons.

Unfortunately, with Grim and the Demonic Goblin's full cooperation, the Level 4 Amethyst Dragon used up all of its energy and spat out all of its dragon breath, but was unable to break the Demonic Armor Puppet Dragon's 3 meter thick right front leg.

Forced to give up the fight, the amethyst dragon Toriel could only give up the fight and hatefully took to the skies, vibrating her wings and flying away to the northwest.

Grim hesitated for a moment and finally gave up on sending the cruiser mothership to hunt down the Amethyst Dragon.

Although the other side had lost a lot of strength, it was still a rank 4 dragon after all.

The cruising mothership couldn't crush the opponent in speed, and would easily be flown away by the opponent. Moreover, the cruising mothership's defense wasn't as impregnable as that of the Demonic Puppet Dragon, once the opponent caught a chance to hit the next one, then all the hard work of the past month or so would be completely wasted!

After 'chasing' away the uninvited guest, the Amethyst Dragon, the Sorcerer Expeditionary Army was able to re-pack its team and return to the Eternal Capital.

The arrival of a huge convoy and a huge amount of loot also immediately made this cold city made of steel bustling and noisy. As soon as the limping Demon Armor Puppet Dragon returned to the Eternal Capital, it was immediately sent to the assembly workshop, where a large number of engineering robots swarmed onto it and began to perform a complete overhaul and maintenance on it.

The right front leg, which had been torn apart by foot tenderness, became the focus of the overhaul and maintenance, with goblins and engineering machines crawling all over the Demon Armor Puppet Dragon's body, and deafening knocks and dazzling arc welding could be seen everywhere.

However, to the displeasure of the Level 3 Brain Monster, the demonic goblin leader Gungar, who was covered with coarse green fur and had dark green rough and hard skin, refused to allow any of the Eternal Capital's engineering machines to enter the belly of the machine for maintenance.

All the engineering maintenance robots belonging to the Eternal Capital could only work on the outside, performing overhaul and maintenance of body damage. The internal overhaul work of the Demonic Puppet Dragon was all done by the Demonic Goblin alone.

This was obviously a big dissatisfaction to the 3rd Order Brain Monster.

In the previous 'Dragon Battle' that happened outside the Eternal Capital, it had also seen the whole thing from start to finish, and had watched it more carefully and carefully than anyone or any goblin. The powerful battle power displayed by the Magic Armament Puppet Dragon was even more coveted and painful to the 3rd stage Brain Monster.

Such a powerful magic weapon of war fell into the hands of the goblins' group of trash and cowards. With their crude, inferior, and uninspired brains, how could they bring out the true power of the Magic Puppet Dragon?

The 3rd stage brain monster was confident that if this Magic Armament Puppet Dragon fell into its hands, with its unparalleled Magic Armament power, indestructible steel body, and its all-pervasive spiritual abilities, it would definitely be able to overturn that 4th stage Amethyst Dragon on the spot and make it stay forever.

But unfortunately, with its relationship with that human 'master', such a great weapon would never be able to fall into its hands.

The 3rd Order Brain Monster had an inner count, if that human 'master' really gave it this Demonic Armament Puppet Dragon, it would definitely turn against it.

With the Eternal Capital as an impregnable landing point and a great weapon like the Magic Puppet Dragon, the 3rd Order Brain Monster could completely handle the challenge of any dragon or group of dragons in the Lance Dimension on its own. At that time, if it didn't rebel, it would be ashamed of its identity as a rank 3 Brain Monster!

Perhaps it was a direct order from that human 'master', that damned demonic goblin leader Gunga not only refused to allow engineering machines to enter the interior of the Demonic Puppet Dragon, but even strictly ordered any demonic goblins not to leave the belly of the Demonic Puppet Dragon by half a step.

In this way, it also eliminated the possibility of the 3rd stage brain monster using its mental abilities to secretly compel and manipulate the demonic goblin technicians.

And after the simple overhaul of the Magic Puppet Dragon was completed, Grim didn't even stay here too long, and directly retransmitted back to the Wizard World with a large group of witches and Magic Puppet Dragons.

The other party's such a decisive move also caught the 3rd order brain monsters off guard.

Some of the terrifying ideas of launching an instant rebellion, attacking the Magic Puppet Dragons and killing all the Crimson Sorcerers were stillborn before they could be turned into executable plans, and had to be abandoned.

Although the Third Order Brain Monster had the intention to stop the other party from teleporting back to the Wizard World, he had to hesitate considering the strength of the other party.

At this time, the Crimson Family, however, had two rank 3 Sorcerers, two rank 3 Dragons, and a surprising number of Sorcerer teams. Once the two sides were torn apart and fought within the Eternal Capital, although the Brain Monster had local advantages and an inexhaustible legion of magic weapons, it still had no certainty of victory against that calm and composed wizard 'master'.

This is going to turn the tables on you, in case the magic weapon puppet dragon can't get to it, and also let the Eternal Capital be beaten to a pulp. Those Crimson Wizards could pat themselves on the back and run back to the Wizarding World, while it would stay here and suffer.

The reason the Eternal Capital had been so stable for the past few decades was the impenetrable steel fortress and countless metal magic weapons. If something went wrong here, the surrounding dragons who were extremely hostile to outsiders would never sit back and watch it slowly recover.

At that time, I'm afraid it would have to begin another long period of wandering and hibernation!
