Ember Dragon

Chapter 783 The Fallen Ancient Dragon

After hearing Charlotte's order, the guild members on the magic ship immediately became busy, and noisy sounds were heard everywhere.

"Level 1 preparation—"

The wizards filled the furnace with large amounts of elemental crystals and added liquid fuel made from the blood of magical creatures such as dragons and giants.

The valve of the furnace opened, and the elemental crystals and liquid fuel mixed together. After being poured and stirred, a strong magical reaction occurred, releasing terrifying energy.

In an instant, the temperature inside the magic ship rose sharply, and surging steam gushed out from the pipes.

"Second level preparation——"

The players activated the high-level energy transfer runes on the ship, and the patterns on the hull suddenly lit up, like veins of blood flowing.

All the energy was concentrated behind the barrel, crackling and roaring continuously, generating strong magical fluctuations, causing the surrounding space to become somewhat distorted.

"Level 3 preparation—"

The leading player waved his staff, and the cannon barrel moved quickly, using a tracking spell to firmly lock onto the ancient green dragon in the storm.

All the energy poured into the barrel, and a dazzling ball of light with red, blue and purple colors appeared at the muzzle, which was extremely brilliant.

Arcs jumped, flames flowed, and spots of light flew. The energy overflowing from around the light ball surged and flowed wildly, creating an energy vortex with a diameter of one hundred meters.

"This super-heavy elemental cannon is used on the battlefield for the first time. Fire it now!"

"This thing is awesome!"

"Go, go, go! I want to see the big fireworks!"

The leading player put on goggles, swung his staff cleanly, and used his own sound transmission spell to transmit the sound to the entire ship.

"emission!!"

Before he finished his words, there was a crisp "click" sound, followed by a deafening roar that resounded through the sky, causing the hull to tremble continuously and ripples to appear in the sky.

Then, the terrifying energy contained in the ball of light poured out, forming a majestic torrent of energy. A three-color light column with a diameter of several meters composed of flames, lightning, and light instantly pierced through the sky and shot towards the ancient green dragon in the distance.

Wherever the beam of light passed, everything was easily destroyed and annihilated. Chaotic energy overflowed in the surrounding space, and various elements reacted in an intertwined manner.

As the most advanced product of magic technology created by thousands of people in the [Magic Coin] Guild, the power released by this giant cannon is comparable to an ordinary nine-ring energy-shaping spell, or even better.

"Lord Anselm, be careful!" a green dragon roared loudly and warned.

The ancient green dragon, which was laughing wildly just now, raised its head and looked at the three-colored light column coming towards it. Its expression changed suddenly, and even its narrow vertical pupils shrank into pinholes.

He frantically flapped his wings, twisted his huge body, and dodged hastily, without any of the arrogance he had just shown, muttering to himself:

"By Tiamat, how could these lowly humans..."

The ancient green dragon's wings stirred up a terrible storm, which condensed into a thick wall of wind in front of him, capable of tearing apart almost all attacks coming from afar - whether spells, arrows or artillery shells.

But this time, he miscalculated.

The power of the super-heavy elemental cannon far exceeded his imagination, even surpassing the Magic Coin Guild researchers' own estimates.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the thick beam of light was like a red-hot blade. The thick wind wall was like paper in front of it and was pierced through in an instant.

"Do not--"

Seeing that things were going badly, the ancient green dragon roared hoarsely, twisted its huge and ferocious body, and struggled and escaped with all its might.

But how could this proud green dragon escape the bombardment that came with tracking spells and divination spells?
At this moment, the ancient green dragon was like a naked body with its scales stripped off, and his entire body was visible. Even his movements were within the expectations of the players and had been predicted in advance.

Facing the approaching three-color light column, he could only shout in anger: "How dare you hurt me! I am the favorite of His Majesty Tiamat! I am the great——"

"boom!"

Anselm's roar came to an abrupt end, interrupted by a deafening, earth-shattering explosion.

The beam of light directly hit the chest of the ancient green dragon. The various protective accessories hidden in the gaps between its scales glowed brightly, releasing magic shields of different colors, but none of them could block the bombardment.

In an instant, lightning struck, flames burned the sky, and brilliant light bloomed in the sky, lighting up the night sky.

With the ancient green dragon as the center, a fierce magic explosion engulfed the surrounding space of hundreds of meters, generating a strong shock wave that spread to a thousand meters away.

"God."

"Amaunator, by God!"

Smoke and dust rolled across the earth. Almost everyone could feel a strong and powerful hot wind whistling past. They all looked up at the sky with surprise on their faces.

Even Mandrian and Duke Franz, who were about to fight the ancient green dragon, stood there in a daze, staring at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Under this strong and brilliant light, the ancient green dragon's body is almost transparent, and you can almost see the bones under its scales and flesh.

The hard scales were destroyed, the thick and strong muscles were burnt, and even the beating heart was destroyed in an instant. A beam of light penetrated through the broad back, leaving only a huge hole in its place.

"This is impossible."

Anselm slowly lowered his head and looked at the dark hole in his chest.

An expression of great shock first appeared on that ugly forest green face, and then it became ferocious, erupting with unspeakable resentment and hatred.

Anselm was born in the Ash Marsh and has lived for more than 800 years. During this long period of time, he has enslaved and killed countless humanoid creatures, including but not limited to humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes.
He enjoyed tasting elven maidens, considering them a wonderful delicacy, and he would occasionally try young dwarves as a special snack.
But now, he was hurt like this by a group of lowly and insignificant humans!

Anger, hatred, shock, and unwillingness were intertwined in those narrow vertical pupils, but in just a moment, his pupils dilated and his eyes lost their luster.

Without a heart as a source of power, the Ancient Green Dragon lost all support. Its broad wings drooped weakly, and its huge, ferocious body fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the ground.

Gravel flew, dust rose, and a huge hole was smashed in the dragon's body. It lay there on its side like a hill. Dragon blood gushed out of the wound and spread into a red river.

The huge head lay askew on the ground, the wide-open eyes looked dull, but one could still see the great unwillingness before death.

Anselm died just like that, at the hands of the humanoid creatures he despised and disdained the most.

"Amaunator, by God!"

"What a terrifying power! It's simply divine punishment!"

The soldiers watching burst into exclamations, and noisy discussions and exclamations were heard everywhere.

Mandrian also stood there, staring at the dragon corpse in astonishment. After a moment, he stammered, "He, they actually killed an ancient green dragon so easily!"

Duke Franz also remained silent for a long time. He should have been happy and excited about the death of the Ancient Green Dragon, which was his greatest threat and had killed countless of his compatriots.

But at this moment, in addition to the joy of revenge, an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart.

Duke Franz hesitated for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Be careful of those guys from the north. Don't trust them completely. The power they hold is too terrible." However, the next moment, the scene changed drastically. The players rushed towards the corpse of the ancient green dragon like piranhas smelling blood, and even used teleportation spells such as Phantom Steps and Anywhere Door.

"Hurry up and grab the materials!"

"Don't just stand there, pick the dragon scales! Armor made from this material will be absolutely invincible!"

"The horn of the ancient green dragon is ours! This thing might be able to make a rare weapon, and it's guaranteed to be rare!"

"Dragon blood and dragon meat! Start digging! The pharmacists in the guild are going crazy with joy!"

"Humph, I will gladly accept this dragon root! Watch me cut it off with one knife! I will use it to soak in wine!"

Even the mantou who was fighting in the distance turned his head and swooped down towards the corpse, determined to take off one of his claws and sharpen it into a spear tip.

On the deck of the magic ship in the distance, Emperor Ou looked at the dragon corpse in the distance with a telescope and stamped his feet anxiously: "President, we spent tens of thousands of gold coins to defeat this ancient dragon. We can't let them get away with it!"

Charlotte, however, held her staff in her arms, and said calmly, "Haha, Ou Huang, you are still too young. You underestimate our guild. Do you think we are not prepared in advance?"

Ou Huang tilted his head in confusion: "But we didn't send anyone to rob it!"

"Do we still need to rob?"

Charlotte pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said confidently, "The direction, time and even location of the green dragon's fall are all within my calculations!"

Light blue ripples appeared in the lens, revealing the faint glow of the prophecy spell.

"What does it mean?"

The European Emperor became even more confused, but saw Charlotte snapped her fingers, and Mingyue on the top of the magic ship immediately understood, raised her staff, and activated the large teleportation array on the ship.

In the distance, a blue light was seen surging beneath the corpse of the ancient green dragon. A huge and complex magic circle suddenly appeared beneath it, causing violent ripples in space.

The next moment, the hill-like dragon corpse disappeared out of thin air, leaving only warm dragon blood all over the ground.

Hundreds of players who rushed towards the dragon corpse found nothing. One of the dragon knights crashed into the ground so hard that he became dizzy and almost died on the spot.

"Fuck, where's a dragon corpse this big?"

"where it goes?"

"Look over there at the magic ship!"

People looked at the magic ship in the distance and saw that the huge dragon corpse had appeared on the deck. The players of Magic Coin were excitedly surrounding it to collect materials.

Emperor Europe stood on the deck, staring blankly at the dragon corpse that appeared out of thin air, with his mouth wide open. It took him a long time to come to his senses, and he gave Charlotte a thumbs up.

"The president is awesome!"

Charlotte looked down at her watch and said casually, "You have three minutes to freely extract materials. If you are late, you will not be allowed to take them. The rest must be handed in to the guild."

The European Emperor suddenly let out a strange cry and pounced on the dragon corpse impatiently, starting to divide the materials with his guild comrades.

"Bullying people!"

"You wouldn't even give us some soup, you despicable guildmaster!"

The players on the ground started cursing, expressing their anger and dissatisfaction for not getting any advantage.

Some savvy mage players took this opportunity to wave their staffs and secretly collect the precious ancient dragon blood remaining on the ground.

By the time the players who were shouting and cursing realized what they were doing, it was already too late.

Under the effect of the spell, the dragon's blood was plundered completely, and there was not even a trace of blood left on the ground. If it weren't for the deep pit with a diameter of dozens of meters, it would seem as if a green dragon had never fallen here.

"Since we can't steal the ancient dragons, we can steal the materials from these adult dragons!"

"Quick, kill them all!"

"Damn it, I need dragon materials too!"

The players were panting, their eyes red as they turned to look at the remaining green dragons in the distance, their eyes full of greed. Those glances were like those of hungry wolves looking at their prey, and were particularly terrifying in the eyes of the green dragons.

"Lord Anselm is dead! He was killed by those humans!"

"Their weapons are too terrible. They must have been given by those damn gods. We can't win. Let's go! Get out of this damn town!"

"Mads, these humans are crazy! By Tiamat, they are definitely possessed by evil gods!"

Seeing the ancient green dragon die and be madly divided up by hyena-like humans, the remaining green dragons roared in panic.

They flapped their wings with all their might and fled into the distance, desperately, as if they were escaping from the pursuit of death.

This group of green dragons wreaked havoc in the Ash Marsh area, burning, killing, looting, and doing whatever they wanted, treating the surrounding humans, dwarves, and elves as toys for their amusement.

But they had never seen such "humans" before, who disregarded life and death, were so rampant, treated such noble dragons as prey, and even killed Anselm with a single shot.

Turning around and looking at the players who were shouting incomprehensible slogans like "Blood sacrifice to the blood god!" and "Tata open!" and chasing after them with fanatical faces, the green dragons felt unprecedented fear and trembling.

By Tiamat, are these still the cowardly, timid humans they remember? They are clearly a group of monsters in human skin!

What's more, there is that terrifying weapon. Just one shot can kill Anselm, the most powerful among them. There is no escape and no block. It is simply exaggerated!

Since we can't win, we can always escape - this is what most green dragons think at this moment, and they did just that, flapping their wings desperately and running towards the south.

But soon, the sound of air exploding was heard behind the green dragons.

The small spaceships of the Mechanicus were seen chasing after them at an extremely fast speed, dragging brilliant flames.

Those armored wyverns also started their thrusters, and with the sound of strong winds, they instantly accelerated and surpassed the green dragon that was flying for its life.

"How can it be!"

"How can they have such speed!"

The green dragons turned their heads in disbelief, looking at the players chasing after them, and suddenly they became confused and burst into noisy and chaotic roars.

The gun barrel under the small spaceship extended out, and more than a dozen huge metal balls shot out towards the green dragon. They suddenly expanded in mid-air and turned into a large net with jumping arcs of electricity.

——This is the Empire’s net-catching cannon specifically designed to target large flying creatures.

"Ow—"

The green dragon was caught off guard and was trapped inside. It was electrocuted and numbed all over. It couldn't move and couldn't fly at all.

Despite their extreme resistance, they still struggled and wailed as they fell from the sky.

And waiting for these unfortunate green dragons on the ground were countless players with excited expressions and shining eyes.
