"Miss Bai Xia! Please come here quickly!" Arute ran into Ellie's shed in a great hurry, shouting nervously.
Seeing Arute's frantic appearance, Ellie was rather pleased. Hmmph! Looking at Arute like this, it must be that the Dragon King here has sent people over again!
"What happened?" Ellie feigned ignorance, sitting up to ask.
"News just came back from the outer perimeter guard, many Dragons have been spotted heading this way, and their numbers are immense," Arute said, quite anxious.
"What... as expected, they still came. I didn't think it would be so fast. Quickly call everyone else, we must stop those Dragons outside!" Ellie said with a tense expression.
Naturally, it was all an act. Ellie had just been complaining that they were too slow!
And on the very day the Red Dragon was taken care of by the Uncle, Ellie had already said that this place would be discovered by Dragons sooner or later.
At that time, a battle plan was already drawn up: the player team would go out to meet the enemy and prevent the Dragons from entering this area.
Perhaps because that Red Dragon was taken care of so easily by the Uncle, everyone had a general understanding that the Dragons in this world were not strong, so everyone agreed to this seemingly reckless plan.
However, even though they knew Dragons weren't as strong as in games, everyone was still extremely cautious.
Almost everyone went to meet the enemy in their strongest state. Arute even had Ellie equip the Downfall of Castle and Country in advance, just in case.
Although Ellie obediently equipped it, she was a million times unwilling in her heart.
Who would want to wear something so light and airy on the bottom, and so tightly cinched on top, to a battlefield? How could she fight anyone!
Once the player team had assembled and prepared, they immediately used High-Tier Teleportation Magic to meet up with Lan, who had set out earlier to scout, directly teleporting to the rendezvous point, a place hidden deep within the dense forest.
But as soon as they reached the rendezvous point, through the gaps in the dense leaves of the primeval forest above their heads, they could already see large groups of flying Dragons in the sky.
"You've arrived just in time..." Lan said, trying to keep her voice down as much as possible when she saw everyone had teleported over.
But there was no need at all, after all, Sir Xia Na's aura concealment barrier was active.
"How is the situation?" Arute also looked up, observing the number of flying Dragons in the sky, but the visibility under the dense forest was indeed poor, making it impossible to judge the numbers.
"There are about seventy to eighty flying Dragons of all sizes, plus a small number of Dragon-humans," Lan said.
"This number is a bit bad, isn't it?" the Uncle said with some difficulty.
"And... following those flying Dragons and Dragon-humans, there's also a Black Dragon, much larger than any Dragon we've seen before!" Lan continued.
"A Black Dragon, huh? Uh..." Arute frowned at this.
A Black Dragon, and if its size was even larger than the previous Red Dragon, it was very likely the Dragon King.
So the Dragon King decided to personally intervene this time, bringing a group of subordinates. Counting the numbers, it was indeed very tricky!
However, with Downfall of Castle and Country, taking care of that Dragon King in one blow would make everything OK. Although Ellie also looked very solemn on the surface, she was quite relaxed in her heart.
Of course... Ellie's confidence wasn't because she had too much faith in her own strength or that of these players, but because history had already proven that humans are the ultimate victors. If the player team were completely wiped out here, then no future stories would happen.
"So what should we do? Should we still follow the original plan?" Livyathan was a bit nervous.
After all, the battles they had encountered so far had been very easy, but this time was completely different from previous encounters.
This time, they were fighting a giant Dragon of unknown strength, and opponents whose numbers far exceeded their own team. A little psychological pressure was normal.
"Naturally... otherwise, the humans here will have no future," Arute was very resolute, though his brows were still furrowed. He probably also felt this battle would be a tough one.
"Then let's act quickly! Don't miss the opportunity." Sir Xia Na was the calmest and most composed member of the team, along with Ellie, of course.
"Okay... I... I'll do my best!" Perhaps recalling the miserable state of the humans she had seen in the Ranch, Livyathan seemed to muster her courage, nodded vigorously, then raised her magic staff and cast a spell at the group of flying Dragons.
"Ultimate Magic! Mega Tsunami!" Naturally, Livyathan immediately launched an Ultimate Magic attack.
After all, this was one of only two Ultimate Magic she knew; the other was to summon Hydra. Generally, Ultimate Magic is best used as an opening attack.
Because Ultimate Magic requires a very long casting time, it's difficult to use in combat. Of course... except for 'pay-to-win' players.
Then, the flying Dragons in the sky were startled by the sudden, gigantic water pillar falling from the sky.
And some flying Dragons that didn't have time to brake were directly swept into the water pillar, although it was uncertain whether those swept in would be instantly killed.
However, Livyathan's use of Mega Tsunami was not originally intended for direct damage, but to prepare for the next step.
"Instant Summon! Ultimate Magic! Summon Sea Demon Hydra!!" Livyathan naturally followed up with summoning Hydra.
"Calamity dwelling in the abyss... Ultimate Magic! Summon Sea Demon Hydra!!" Ellie did the same, using the massive water flow generated by Livyathan's Mega Tsunami to summon her own Hydra. Unfortunately, to cooperate with Livyathan... she had to omit the summoning incantation.
The flying Dragons in the air were still in shock, and then they saw nine of them burst out from the giant water pillar.
No, it should be eighteen snake heads that shot out from that water pillar, gnashing their teeth and devouring all the flying Dragons that came too close to the water pillar.
Although a surprise attack was indeed despicable, they were outnumbered! Besides, there's no such thing as despicable or not despicable in a fight; victory is everything.
Those flying Dragons were probably also startled by the sudden Hydra, and they all avoided Hydra's attack range.
After all, Hydra dropped directly to the ground after bursting out of the water pillar. Although Hydra's body was huge, and its nine heads could stretch very long, it still couldn't reach the flying Dragons in the sky.
But... was pulling away effective?
"Go! Hydra! Water Jet!"
Livyathan immediately instructed Hydra to use a skill, and then they saw the Hydra summoned by Livyathan, which was a size smaller than the one Ellie summoned.
All nine snake heads opened, and streams of water jetted out from their mouths, directly piercing through the flying Dragons attempting to create distance.
Yes! They were directly pierced by the jetted water streams. The Dragons here are indeed very weak!
