Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1894, Chapter 1866: Red Thunder
The clouds in the sky were thick and heavy.

And it kept stirring and twisting, as if something within it was about to descend with immense anger and power!

There was indeed the anger and power of an ancient dragon on that thundercloud... but it wasn't from an ancient dragon of the New World!

"Roar!!!"

A long, distant dragon roar came from the sky!

The thick clouds churned and rolled, finally being pierced! Teared apart!
A beautiful and majestic beast broke through the clouds and descended from the sky!

It looked similar to the corpse of Gulansanx lying on the walls of Rodel, only more lifelike, and probably only half the size of that corpse.

After all, Granzanx's title is simply and directly: "Great Ancient Dragon".

But big does not equal strong.

And now, the ancient dragon that is tearing through the thunderclouds from the sky is called the [Strongest Rock]!
[Gold] Prince Godwin's close friend, one of the two sides that made peace in the Ancient Dragon War, Fulsanx!

The ancient dragons of the borderlands are ancient beasts born from the time of the Primal Golden Tree—the Forge of Life.

They embody the characteristics of the era of the crucible of life in perfect harmony, a hundred aspects of the crucible.

They are life forms made of rock, with scales, wings, claws, and sharp horns.

The ancient dragon, its body entirely white like marble, swooped down, its inner sides of both pairs of wings covered in golden feathers.

It was surrounded by bright red lightning, the power of which permeated both the inside and outside of its body.

To maintain its power, the red lightning bolts shot out from its two horns, making them look like extensions of the horns.

"What...did you do to him?!?"

Gu Long's roar was like muffled thunder, making people feel like they were about to be blown away just by listening to it.

But when faced with an ancient dragon tearing through the clouds and swooping down, what you should be most worried about is not its roar... but its power!

"Bang! Sizzle!"

The thunderclouds in the sky were churning. The thunderclouds that Qilin had summoned in its instinctive reaction were now undoubtedly under the control of Fulsans.

A bright red bolt of lightning struck down from the clouds, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air that resembled a bleeding wound.

Meanwhile, one of Fulsanx's front paws had already made a grasping gesture.

Just as its claws were fully closed, a bolt of lightning struck its hand!
The lightning that should have flashed by was firmly grasped in the ancient dragon's hand! It condensed into a crimson lightning blade!
Lance Sanx's Blade!
Lance Sands is Ful Sands' older sister. Although she doesn't have the same power as her brother, the spells of the ancient dragons are interchangeable.

The ancient dragon's body swooped down, and the sheer pressure alone was enough to make it almost impossible for anyone to stand up!

But what's even more terrifying is the thunder blade in its hand.

"Hoohoo!"

A massive blade composed entirely of red lightning swooped down and slashed directly at the location where the women's outlines were defined by silver threads!

There's no need to aim at all, because powerful creatures like ancient dragons rarely target individuals with their attacks.

"Boom!"

With a single slash, not only the patch of grass where they landed was cleaved in two, but the entire terrain surrounding that patch of golden grass was also shattered!
The mountain collapsed, and since Rodel City was located next to a cliff, Fulsancus's sword cleaved through a large section of the rock face!
Thousands of tons of rock were chopped up and fell into the sea, the air roaring as it was compressed by such massive objects, and the tough, giant tree roots inside the mountain walls were exposed.

Although it was pulled by the collapsing rocks, it was only slightly deformed and not torn apart.

The power of Fulsanx's sword strike had passed, but the magical power from the ancient dragon's prayer was not yet over.

In the fan-shaped direction drawn by its slashing blade, a crackling red lightning bolt crawled and spread across the ground.

The fan-shaped area where the red lightning spread mostly faced the deserted cliffs and the sea, so it didn't matter.

However, a small portion still pointed to the city of Rodel.

These red lightning bolts, like sweeping away dust, rumbled and toppled a cluster of tall houses and buildings along the ground.

Screams of agony came from inside those buildings.

Under the Golden Law, there was no death, so the strong fought without being able to choose the location or position, and most of them did not hold back.

After all, not all those who died in the aftermath were truly dead.

Why not just go to the Golden Tree and wait in line?

Therefore, the moral burden, the kind of leeway that normally only appears in strong people, leaves little trace on these warriors in the border region.

When they fight, they mostly act recklessly, unleashing their power and anger without restraint.

Fulsanx's blade not only cleaved a large area of ​​land near the cliff, but also caused a massive collapse and destruction of the land behind the blade's mark.

Many plots of land within the city of Rodel have detached from their original mountain walls, only preventing them from falling into the sea because they were held in place by the thick tree roots outside the mountain walls.

This devastating blow, akin to a major earthquake, caused the landmass of Rodell to warp.

The city, which already had varying elevations, became even more undulating, and riddled with gaps and ruins.

However, the strike from [The Strongest Rock] Fulsancus was not enough to wipe out these invisible figures.

Not only did it not completely wipe them out, but the attack didn't even cause any casualties. Those invisible figures had only had their outlines revealed by the [Advanced Moon Dust Bomb], and the reflection of their silver threads wasn't particularly noticeable under the intense surge of power amidst the red lightning and flames.

Furthermore, although those invisible men were not on the same level of strength as the ancient dragons, they were small in size, fast in speed, and moved in a strange way.

After Fulsanx slashed, they all quickly dodged and scattered.

Having dodged the direct attack, the remaining aftershocks and changes in the terrain were no match for them.

Combat is not simply a contest of energy levels; combat styles are about compatibility.

For a master of wide-range violent attacks like Gu Long, facing these invisible figures is like a human struggling to kill a mosquito if the other person tries to escape.

Fortunately, this is Rodel, the central capital of the Golden Dynasty.

There is no shortage of strong people here.

"Boom! Rumble!"

The land, which was warped and blocked by the broken terrain, was smashed open from below at an angle, creating a crack!
[Dragonlance] Vic is like a spear thrust out! He charged straight up from the Round Table Hall below Rodel City!

He held a red spear wreathed in lightning in his right hand, and a golden lightning gun in his left.

As soon as he arrived, there was flying dirt and rocks everywhere, shredded golden flowers, grass and trees, and red lightning. He obviously failed to find his target.

Fortunately, he saw the velvet ball and the Qilin!
Although Lann had already gone to Lienia when he returned after completing his mission, he could still recognize the appearance of the two wise beasts beside Lann just from their descriptions.

What's more, while most of the people of the Golden Tree were paralyzed with fear of death, the calico kitten was exchanging blows with an enemy of unknown origin!
Seeing the velvet ball means you've spotted friendly forces. And whatever's fighting against friendly forces is, of course, the enemy!
With this reference point, Vic was able to focus his attention and observe the tall figures whose outlines were defined by the silver threads.

The yellow lightning gun in his hand made a 'sizzling' sound, but the sound was normally quite steady.

But after identifying the enemy's characteristics, he suddenly clenched his left hand!

"Crackling sound!"

The golden lightning spear crackled with electricity! At the same time, many small, golden emblems appeared out of thin air around Vic's body.

The design of the emblem reveals it to be a simplified dragon head.

Just like the [Thunder Spear] used by the clergy in the Flame World that Velvet Ball and Lan En visited together.

Vic hurled the golden lightning spear in his hand like a javelin, and immediately afterward, each of the small emblems around him produced a lightning spear, which flew after the one that had been thrown.

This is a profound prayer born from the ancient dragon faith of the royal city, which only a very few people can master.

【Knight's Lightning Gun】!
A series of golden lightning spears shot towards a humanoid silhouette on the broken terrain.

The person's outline was only partially revealed by the Moon Dust Bomb, but with Vic's experience, it was enough for him to estimate the enemy's posture and position even when he could only see half of the enemy.

A series of lightning spears hit their mark precisely, and the golden arcs of electricity spreading from the man's body outlined his complete physical contours.

Immediately afterwards, Vic raised his right spear, crackling with red lightning, and charged forward, tearing through the air!

"Pfft"!
The person was pierced through while in a state of stiffness caused by the electric current.

At this moment, a black crossbow bolt, much longer than a normal crossbow bolt, flew out from a distant corner. The shaft gleamed brightly and stuck into a transparent void. Judging from the outline of the silver thread, it seemed to be an arm.

Strangely, Krepp, who fired the arrow, did not attempt to finish off the target. Instead, he patiently began searching for other targets.

Sir Hundred Wisdom came up last, but it had only been less than two minutes since that heart-pounding feeling began.

He didn't make a move after coming up the terrain tunnel that Vic had torn open.

Instead, after looking around, he shouted loudly.

"Falsanx! Go to the palace and see what's going on! Leave this to us!"

The ancient dragon did not refuse; it simply flapped its enormous wings and took off.

In fact, Fulsanx is also a practical expert among the ancient dragons, and his combat experience is not lacking because of the strength of his race.

It realized from that initial, furious strike that it was not suited to deal with this kind of enemy.

But even so, it continued to roar.

"Without me, you couldn't have stopped them from escaping!"

"In fact, even with you here, Lord Felsanx!" From the church where the velvet balls and the others had jumped down, a golden figure wielding a large shield also made of gold crashed down like a meteor! "Some people have already escaped; we'll stop as many as we can!"

It's said to resemble a meteorite, but this person actually created a small meteorite crater!
He was clad in full golden armor, with a small golden tree adorning the top of his helmet—a perfectly normal Rhodes knight.

But what's unusual is that he was the first Golden Tree Clan member to regain mobility in the two minutes since the start of the war!
He was also the knight who, just now, stood out naturally among a group of Rodel knights.

Fulsans seemed to know him as well and acknowledge his power.

Seeing that he had come down, it immediately flapped its wings and took off.

"Grab them! The Faded Ones! Christopher! I have a bad feeling!"

"Seize them! Punish them!"
