Chapter 317: Dragon Illusion, Killing the Snake Witch
Forked lightning tore through the sky, muffled thunder exploded in the night, heavy rain hit the churning sea, and a look of shock appeared on the face of the man on top of the ancient giant snake in the center of the sea.

He had already infiltrated the tribes in the southwest of the Kingdom of Northshire, and learned about the legends circulating in the tribe through the orc chieftain Grim.

The giant wolf Frye is said to be the descendant of the ancient Warcraft beast Taotie Wolf. He holds a rune frost blade in his mouth and possesses superb swordsmanship.

The eagle-helmeted knight on its back, wearing a blood-red cloak and holding a uniquely shaped broadsword, exudes an incomparable sense of oppression, making her already fierce aura even more intense!
"How could the giant wolf Frye... pledge allegiance to humans?"

Caron was amazed.

Suddenly.

The sword light rushed straight into the clouds, as if to disperse the dark clouds. The sword intent was unstoppable and slashed towards Karon's snake body!

Colin's legendary fighting skill, the Sword of Dawn, briefly illuminated the night into day, and slashed the snake's body diagonally, leaving a hideous scar. The blood sprayed like a waterfall, dyeing the sea surface blood red!
Even though he was prepared, all of Karon's defensive measures were instantly defeated by this fierce sword skill!

boom!
Karon felt pain and fell onto the sea, with a bang, raising a column of water several feet high!
same moment.

The giant wolf Frye carried Hildurde and charged along Karon's snake body towards his human body at the head with chilling steps. Hildurde held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and at the moment of passing by, the giant sword slashed across Karon's abdomen!

Charon's blood splattered from his torn body, mixed with broken organs, and his wailing voice was both painful and angry.

Ye Zhi stepped on the Winged Shoes of the Wind Rider and flew quickly along the stormy shore. He soon found the Bloodtooth Shark that was hit by the waves and the distraught Grim lying on the rocky beach.

At this moment, the tyrant's expression had disappeared, replaced by cowardice and fear. Grim's messy hair covered his ugly orc face like seaweed, his eyes were blank, and he couldn't believe that he was actually a victim.

"I am... the king of the tribe... destined to unite the tribes... Kalon must be lying to me!"

Grimm muttered to himself.

His will was completely broken.

Ye Zhi glanced at him sideways, raised the rapier in his hand, and the cold blade swept across the cold light and blood.

"Make a deal with the ancient serpent...only hell awaits you."

呲!
The orc chieftain who started the war fell in a pool of blood with his eyes becoming empty, his expression frozen in fear of death.

With the death of their leader, the remaining orc army could not escape the fate of collapse.

This war against the orc invasion can almost be declared a complete victory.

The only person left to solve the problem is the mastermind behind this war... the ancient snake wizard Charon!
Ye Zhi had learned about the social structure of the snake people. Only a small number of top-level snake wizards were qualified to be called "ancient snakes." They worshiped the serpent of the universe, acted recklessly, and many of them used their own people as experiments.

Ye Zhi also saw through the reason why the ancient snake wizard Kalon wanted to find the corpse of the ice dragon and conduct human experiments on Grimm. That was Kalon trying to complete a ritual of the snake people:
Shed skin and become a dragon.

To complete this ritual, one must have a deep understanding of ancient runes and materials related to the dragon clan. The more complete the materials are, the higher the possibility of completing the ritual. Although rash attempts may succeed, once the molting fails, death is inevitable.

If they can shed their skin successfully, the snakeman can breed a trace of dragon blood in his blood, and then master the extraordinary power that only dragon-born warlocks can master.

After shedding its skin, the snakeman is still far from becoming a real dragon, but depending on the materials used in the ceremony, the snakeman can even gain wings, breath, spells and combat skills from a dragon!

Looking back at the battlefield in the sea, Yeats sent a message:
"Quick and decisive! Don't give him a chance to shed his skin!"

On the sea.

The war continues.

Hearing Ye Zhi's words, Xilude accelerated the rhythm of his attack and kept urging his fighting spirit. This was a very dangerous move in a six-ring duel, after all, no one knew what the opponent had in store, and the less fighting spirit he used, the more he had to use it, so he had to be careful.

And Hildurd has always trusted Ye Zhi's judgment. The flames wrapped around the sword in the tree became more and more violent, and when it was swung, it set off a huge heat wave, and even the sea water was steaming!
Colin, who was standing beside him, was secretly shocked and thought:

"She is no less capable than the Six-Ring Master, and she obeys Ye Zhi's orders... Ye Zhi is like His Majesty, who is far-sighted and always has many back-up plans!"

Even though Karon possessed the huge body of an ancient snake and his scales could withstand the baptism of fire and thunder, he could only be passive when facing the siege of two six-ring masters at the same time.

Suddenly, hot dark red runes appeared on the surface of his skin, making the ancient snake's body look even more hideous, and its resentful voice echoed in the storm.

"I'm going to make you... pay the price!"

The ancient snake wizard Charon's tail slapped the sea, causing raging waves and tornadoes surrounding him.

Sixth-ring spell: Tornado Barrier!

His body was located in the eye of the storm, and under the protection of the tornado barrier, he forcibly activated the power of runes.

The scales on his body kept falling off, and magic circles appeared around him. Karon quickly took out dragon bones, dragon scales, snake bone wood and other materials from his ring and threw them all into the magic circle. At the same time, the magic circle glowed brightly, and red silk threads flew out, burning Karon's body like a red-hot iron. His flesh and blood made a hissing sound, and he screamed in pain.

At this moment, starting the molting ceremony is both an adventure and a helpless act.

Caron knew very well that he had been ambushed. Facing Colin alone, he still had a chance to retreat, but now even his retreat was cut off by the giant wolf Frye, so he had no choice but to fight to the death!

The light of the magic circle became more and more dazzling. Caron hunched his back and let out a hoarse roar from his throat. It seemed that the flesh and blood on his spine were about to break out. With a "hiss", two pairs of wide bone wings grew out from his back!
This bone wing was too thin and weak to allow Karon's huge snake body to fly into the sky. However, Karon was ecstatic because it proved that the molting ceremony was a success. It meant that he could use the power of the dragon clan to fight against the two six-ring masters and had hope of escaping!
Later, Karon realized something was wrong. He had completed the molting ceremony, but he could not detect any changes in his blood!
“Could it be that…” Caron was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale in an instant, and he said angrily, “There is actually an illusionist here! Break him!”

The illusion disappeared in an instant.

Karon turned his head and found that the bone wings behind him were gone, but the magic circle surrounding him was still working. The molting ceremony had not ended at all!

Karon gnashed his teeth and thought to himself, the illusion just now was injected into my mind by the illusionist based on his strong desire to shed his skin.

In Caron's opinion, although the means of this illusion were crude and far from the level of an illusion master, his excessive desire gave the opponent's illusion an opportunity to take advantage!

But how could the other party know the details of the molting ceremony, and how could he know what I was thinking? !
Calon was confused and uncertain, looking for the illusionist. His eyes fell on Ye Zhi on the shore. He saw Ye Zhi covering his injured left eye. It was obvious that he had suffered the backlash of having his illusion broken!

"It's you?"

Karon gritted his teeth and said:
"You are actually an illusionist!?"

Although Yeats's skills as a trickster had not yet been advanced and his attainment in illusion was only at the fourth ring, he was able to manipulate Charon's psychology and create an illusion that was convincing enough for a sixth-ring wizard to believe.

The illusion was broken, causing backlash to Ye Zhi's "Eyes of a Thousand Illusions", but as the Chosen One of the Mist Gods, Ye Zhi quickly eliminated the impact of the backlash of the illusion.

Ye Zhi glanced at Caron and said indifferently:
"Just immerse yourself in the illusion of turning into a dragon!"

Caron's pupils shrank, and shame, indignation, and astonishment were written on his face.

Karon couldn't understand how he knew the details of the molting ceremony and could make the illusion so real!

"I have become that stupid orc." Kalon was terrified, "I still underestimated this human!"

At this time.

The strong wind barrier created by the 'Tornado Barrier' was broken by Hildreth and Colin working together.

Charon's molting ceremony was forcibly interrupted, and he had no choice but to face the enemy again.

But he no longer had any chance of winning and revealed a flaw, which was seen by Hildreth, who suddenly jumped off the wolf's back!

Under the sky, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. Hilde hovered in mid-air, the giant sword in his hand ignited with dark flames, and flames seemed to dance in his eyes.

The next moment, the giant sword chopped down with the force of thunder!
boom! !

A gully was cut into the sea surface, causing waves several feet high. Under the dark sky, the huge body of the ancient snake was cut into two parts, and black blood continued to surge with the waves.

The rain was pouring down. Caron looked up at the sky with his dim eyes and said unwillingly:
"Transform into a dragon... I haven't transformed into a dragon yet..."

His breath became weaker and weaker, and finally he fell into deathly silence.

On the quiet coast, the rainstorm and the huge waves gradually subsided. Yeats took out his lyre and played the wind-control song, and the strong wind stopped.

At dawn, a ray of light shines on the calm sea.

Ye Zhi felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"The threat on the northern front has been eliminated, and Thomas on the southern front is still a potential threat..." Yeats thought to himself.

Hildreth landed on the beach, took off her eagle helmet, and shook her fiery red hair. Her pale golden eyes stared at the young man in silver armor. Her murderous aura gradually eased, and a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes.

"I should not be late." Hildreth pursed her lips.

"You arrived just in time!" Yeats stretched out his hand.

In the distance, Colin was slightly startled as he looked at the two people hugging each other.

With some emotion, Colin murmured to himself:
"As expected of a bard..."
