Chapter 120: Chapter 102 I’m familiar with this_1
It must be said, this news was indeed beyond Duanmu Huai’s expectation. He had painstakingly traveled here to handle the den of the Evil Dragon, only to find that it had gone to Manaria?
Well, it seems it really implemented a change of tactics.
Luckily, according to that dragon beast, Fafner should not have been gone for long and should not have reached Manaria just yet. If they could rush back in time, they might still make it.
If they could hurry back in time.
“Ann, is there a way to teleport us back to The Manaria Royal City?”
“Of course…of course, there is…”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Ann wiped the sweat off her forehead and then nodded vigorously.
“I will do it now…”
“Wait, you should rest first.”
Seeing Ann sweat profusely, Duanmu Huai quickly voiced his concerns. Ann had already pushed herself to the limit, and she was nearly spent. If she forced herself to teleport, anything could happen… Duanmu Huai still remembered the embarrassing incident when eight heroes were scattered due to hasty teleportation during the Moment of End, one was even sent directly to the final boss.
He definitely didn’t want to experience that himself.
“Miss Ann, I have some Holy Water here…”
At this moment, Lorena hurriedly took out a bottle of Holy Water from her waist. This Holy Water was manufactured by the Cathedral Church. It can restore physical strength, heal wounds, and illnesses. Of course, it could be thrown at undead creatures too.
It must be said that the Holy Water produced by the Cathedral Church Group works wonders. After Ann gulped down a bottle of it, she was instantly rejuvenated, her waist no longer ached, her legs didn’t hurt, and she didn’t feel tired anymore…
“Are you ready?”
“Ready, Sir Knight!”
“Very well, move out!!”
At Duanmu Huai’s command, Ann immediately raised her hand. Soon, a huge blue Magic Circle formed under their feet. Duanmu Huai and his companions only felt a sudden sinking sensation under their feet, and in the next instant, their view changed abruptly, transforming from the dragon’s den to a magnificent palace hall.
The sudden appearance of Duanmu Huai and his companions naturally startled everyone. When they recognized who the newcomers were, they screamed with joy.
“It’s the Princess!”
“The Princess is back!!”
Duanmu Huai stood up and looked around. They were currently in the palace hall. Above them sat the King of Manaria and the King of Dragon Race, on either side were their ministers and subordinates. Upon seeing Ann and Greiya, both kings simultaneously stood up, looking at them with surprise.
“Ann!”
“Greiya!”
“Are you guys okay, did anything happen?”
“We are fine, but… Father, now’s not the time to talk about that! Fafner is about to attack Manaria!!”
“What?!”
The bombshell Ann dropped left everyone too shocked to comprehend what was happening.
“What exactly is happening, Princess?”
“Fafner is about to attack Manaria? How could that be possible…”
“Let me explain.”
Seeing the chaos around him, Duanmu Huai coughed once, stepped forward, and provided a swift explanation of what had happened. After hearing Duanmu Huai’s explanation, the two kings finally understood the situation.
Although they still found it hard to believe…
“You infiltrated Fafner’s lair and even eradicated the residing Evil Dragon Legion?”
The King of Manaria looked stunned as he stared at Duanmu Huai. To be honest, he didn’t believe what Duanmu Huai was saying. He turned towards his daughter for confirmation.
“Ann? Is what he saying true?”
“Indeed, it is, Father.”
Ann nodded in agreement.
“I understand your doubts. It was indeed quite a challenge for just the few of us to battle hundreds of Evil Dragons. We were in danger at times, but Sir Knight used some… well, I don’t know how to describe it, some method. In short, all those dragons are dead… But now’s not the time for this! Fafner is about to attack the Royal City!”
“I understand.”
The King nodded. The truth was still hard to confirm, at least for now. But no matter what, he believed that his daughter was not like to joke about such matters. Moreover, Duanmu Huai and his people had brought back a captured dragon beast from its den. If they needed more details, they could interrogate the dragon beast later on.
But right now, the most important thing is to stop the Evil Dragon Legion’s attack.
With this thought, the king immediately turned his head, looking at his subordinates.
“Sound the alarm bell immediately, declare the entire royal city in a state of emergency, and have the Royal Magician Group activate the defensive barrier! All troops stand ready to fight!”
“Yes!”
As the alarm bell sounded, the entire Manaria Royal City sprung into action. Civilians were quickly evacuated, fully armed troops took their positions on the city walls, and not long after, a giant figure appeared before their eyes.
“Is that Fafner?”
Standing on the city walls, looking at the giant dragon in the distance, Duanmu Huai and the others couldn’t help but gasp. It’s just that… this giant dragon is so huge!!
Yes, compared with the evil dragons that Duanmu Huai and the others had encountered before, Fafner’s size was like a moving mountain range, its mere movements in the distance stirred up massive clouds of dust. The dark legion of evil dragons surrounding it, appeared to them as the darkest and most terrifying existence in this world.
“How can it be, it’s so big…”
Seeing this, Ann’s face also changed. Previously when annihilating the Evil Dragon Legion, she thought that Fafner might not be that difficult to deal with. However, she hadn’t expected the evil dragon to be so enormous. The gap between these giant dragons and it is like cats compared with tigers!
How could such a creature be dealt with? Is there really no way to handle it?
Even Greiya and Lorena and others all appeared nearly hopeless in the face of such a giant beast, they simply had no power to fight back. Any spell they initiated was unlikely to inflict enough damage on it, not to mention, whether one could pierce its body through its hard scales was also a question.
However…
“It’s better if it’s bigger.”
Duanmu Huai, instead of panicking like Ann and Greiya, rather breathed a sigh of relief. He put down the thunder warhammer, and even his expression relaxed considerably.
“If I had known this guy was so big, I think I could have killed it on my own.”
“Huh? Sir Knight, Are you scared silly?!””
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Ann looked at him confusedly, suspecting whether Duanmu Huai was so shocked as to be talking nonsense.
“This evil dragon is so large, we simply can’t deal with it! It’s not like the previous dragons, its body is even bigger than the entire royal city!!”
“No, that’s precisely why it’s easier to handle.”
While he said this, Duanmu Huai put down his Thunder Warhammer, put on his helmet, and then pulled out the Chainsaw Sword from behind him, revealing a ferocious smile as he looked ahead at Fafner.
“Dealing with this kind of thing is my specialty.”
While he was talking, Fafner had already arrived at the outside of the city wall of Manaria Royal City. His simple presence cast a shadow over the entire Manaria Royal City. Both soldiers and mages looked at the monumental creature in front of them with pale faces. The only one was Duanmu Huai standing there, staring at Fafner, shouting loudly.
“Stupid big lizard, are you ready to die?!!”
Duanmu Huai’s roar immediately drew the attention of the Evil Dragon Legion. Fafner lowered his head and quickly spotted Duanmu Huai standing on the city wall. He didn’t of course pay any attention to this small thing, with a sneer he stared scornfully at Duanmu Huai.
“Stupid mortal, even daring to voluntarily offer his life?”
“Who’s the silly one, we’ll find out soon.”
Hearing Fafner speak, Duanmu Huai sneered.
“I think you may not know, big lizard, that your den has already been overtaken by us. Those evil dragons you left in your den have already turned into heaps of black ash.”
“What did you say?”
Hearing this, Fafner’s eyes hardened as he stared at Duanmu Huai. The latter reached into his pocket, and took out a golden chalice.
“I didn’t expect you to be quite wealthy, this time we’ve hit the jackpot, thank you, Fafner, for collecting so many treasures for me. You really have made me cry….”
“Despicable human!!!”
Seeing the golden chalice in Duanmu Huai’s hand, Fafner was suddenly consumed by anger. Even the theft of a single gold coin from their lair was deemed as an intolerable provocation to dragon-kind. Let alone, this was one of his most prized possessions, and now this contemptible mortal, this filthy thief had the audacity to parade the treasure he had stolen from his own lair right in front of him.
“You are truly ignorant of the consequences! You despicable human!!”
Right now, Duanmu Huai was like openly mocking in front of Fafner, it could no longer tolerate it. How could he bear to be sneered at by a thief who dared to steal treasures from his lair!
“I will make you realize how terrifying it can be to anger me. I will burn you and these vermin to ashes! Transforming this human den into a ruin!!”
Roaring furiously, Fafner opened his mouth wide and took in a deep breath.
However, Fafner didn’t notice that just as he opened his mouth to take a breath, Duanmu Huai suddenly reached out his right hand clad in Gravity Gloves and aimed it at – himself!
The next moment, Duanmu Huai became just a black speck, launching himself from the city wall and plunging straight into Fafner’s open mouth!!
