Chapter 601 The Mad Dragon
A raging dragon besieges the city?

Edgar was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.

It is that dragon-like monster that has repeatedly caused trouble on the border. It has the highest level of bounty in the Adventurers' Guild and has been named "The Mad Dragon" by the adventurers!
Abbreviated as Mad Dragon.

It was a strange dragon that suddenly appeared on the border of the Warrior Kingdom. There is no record of it in the current dragon family genealogy in the country, which means that it is a wild dragon!
Since that guy appeared, the border has been repeatedly damaged, and even various unexpected natural disasters have occurred. The Warrior Kingdom has organized many campaigns against the Mad Dragon, the largest of which even required Temud to personally lead an army to fight against it, but without exception, all of them failed.

That's too strong! This guy is just too strong, practically invincible.

At that time, the Warrior Kingdom had just made peace with the Kingdom of Anor, and its army was recuperating and could not muster enough troops to attack that guy.

Therefore, a policy of appeasement was adopted, which simply means that all the residents on the border were evacuated and a nature reserve was built around the mad dragon as a large and rare animal.

At first, this method was very effective, and the mad dragon was quite content staying in its own protected area.

But this year, for some reason, perhaps it has gotten tired of playing with the same old tricks and is looking for new fun, it has appeared in towns inhabited by humans many times. Whenever it appears, it inevitably causes destruction, making people panic and causing a large number of people to flee to the interior from the border.

This led to Temud's failed attempt to subdue the dragon, and King Bantou made a decision: this time, he would get serious and send his most elite troops to take down the dragon in one fell swoop. The time was set after the war festival ended.

But I never expected them to actually come knocking on my door!?
"Damn it, are they planning to launch a preemptive strike?"

Edgar covered his mage hat with one hand to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind, and cast a no-fly spell on the sky with the other.

The next moment, the roar of the mad dragon came from the horizon again, and a repulsive force was transmitted back through the magic. Edgar felt as if he had been violently hit in the chest by a block of iron, and he immediately spat out blood and almost collapsed.

He was completely stunned. Why did this mad dragon seem to have gotten stronger?!

When he looked up again, the shadow of the enormous creature had already been cast in.

It was a colossal dragon whose body was larger than the entire arena and whose wings almost blocked out the sun.

With its agile and powerful four-legged body, horns covered in sharp spikes, and head resembling a demon, each scale is like a towering mountain peak. Between these mountains flows terrifyingly hot lava, and every flap of its wings causes lava to spill onto the earth, bringing destruction.

The capital city maintains a forbidden-level protective shield at all times. Rain-like lava falls on the semi-circular shield, as if the heavens have opened a hole and poured lava down. The view from below is quite spectacular.

The sky is scorching hot!
"This guy"

Edgar's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself:

"I remember it being much smaller than this before."

Compared to this guy, the largest dragon in the Warrior Kingdom is like a tire compared to a car.

"Boom!"

The dragon's giant claws landed directly on the transparent magic shield, causing chaotic ripples to spread across the shield. It then let out an endless roar towards the sky!

The entire arena descended into chaos in the blink of an eye, and the capital city was plunged into confusion as well.

The well-trained soldiers immediately escorted the king and prince back to the more fortified palace. Apart from Lanler showing signs of immature panic, both Bontoo and Fred remained calm, staring at the mad dragon. Bontoo then gave the order:
"Let the dragon riders and dragon legions engage them. Prepare the dragon-slaying cannons. Anyone who dares to invade the capital is a provocation against our national dignity. We cannot allow them to return unscathed under any circumstances. Furthermore..."

A cold light flashed in Banto's eyes, and his voice was like dripping venom.

"Investigate the cause of the mad dragon's appearance. The capital city is separated from the border by dozens of cities. If it really flew all the way from the border, then why did none of the cities report it?"

As he said this, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill, to kill many people.

Within three minutes of the appearance of the Mad Dragon.

The ancient fortress of the capital, which had once been built for war, began to function.

Hundreds and thousands of magic cannons rose from the high platforms that could be seen everywhere in the city, and soldiers slowly added cannonballs into them, waiting for the order to fire the first salvo.

Hundreds of dragon riders were fully equipped and ready to go. Before setting off, they gazed deeply into the eyes of the dragons they rode, and some even kissed.

The palace was transforming with a rumbling sound, the house was moving in all directions, and an enormous magic cannon shot into the sky, its dark muzzle resembling the gates of hell.

And what about the Mad Dragon?

It was still roaring at the sky, without making any other moves. At first glance, it didn't seem like anything special.

However, its roar entered the city, causing some people with weaker constitutions to faint. Moreover, the roar alone could damage the protective shield. What a terrible scene it would cause if it really started to burn and destroy everything.
We absolutely cannot let it continue to cause destruction!
Even if we can't kill it, it's necessary to go through the trouble of driving it away.

"fire!"

With a command from the starter, thousands of magic cannons roared, and sparks exploded all over the dragon's body!
This time, it finally let out a different kind of muffled groan, and fragments of its scales crashed onto the protective shield. If it weren't for this shield, the falling fragments would probably have caused countless deaths.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the dragon riders charged out of the protective shield. They all transformed into dragons and rushed towards the weakest point on the mad dragon's body, launching attacks with all their might. For a moment, the sky was filled with roars and artillery fire.

And what about the Mad Dragon?

It was as indestructible as a mountain in a storm, and the cannon fire seemed to have only scraped away the dirt on its scales. The weak points that the dragon knights attacked were also incredibly tough. It hadn't even revealed any other special abilities yet. The supermodel's physical attributes alone were astonishing.

The only thing that could possibly inflict serious damage on it is probably the Dragon-Slaying Cannon, which requires a long time to charge up before it can fire!
The raging dragon flapped its wings, and with each flap, a massive amount of wind elemental magic gathered, creating a firestorm that resembled a steel dragon but was mixed with scorching flames. In an instant, the dragon knights were blown away, like a human waving his hand to shoo away flies!

After shooing away the annoying flies, the raging dragon raised its head to the sky, its blood-red maw wide open. "Roar!"

It was still roaring!

"What on earth does this guy want to do?!" Edgar had to cover his ears. In his opinion, the Mad Dragon didn't seem to have any intention of causing damage, but the mere existence of the creature here was an unacceptable original sin for the people of the capital.

Isn't there any way to get rid of it?
The attack from the capital continued, with the entire army mobilized. The mages, now at their peak and clad in dragon armor, chanted powerful spells together in the sky, instantly unleashing dozens of spells approaching forbidden levels.

The capital city has a sizable fighting force; even if Elifis were here, he would probably be able to put up a tough fight against him for the time being.

The raging dragon finally stopped roaring at this moment. As if it had sensed a threat, it looked down at the mages inside the protective barrier, its eyes exuding a great sense of oppression.

"go to hell!"

The mages uttered the classic slang of lowly minions, unleashing their incantations that, along with the second barrage of cannon fire, hurtled towards the mad dragon.

At that moment, a sound that humans could not understand came from the mad dragon's throat. A crimson magic circle drawn with completely incomprehensible characters instantly lit up in front of it, and crimson dragon bones of the same color as the magic circle appeared in it, wrapping the mad dragon tightly from head to belly. At first glance, it looked like a gluttonous demon dragon in a different color.

Magic and cannonballs collided with the dragon bones in an instant, shaking the entire capital. When the dust settled, the dragon bones were covered with cracks, but the mad dragon hiding behind them was unharmed.

"How could this be?" The mages once again uttered their classic, low-class statement.

The mad dragon no longer persisted in its meaningless roars. It seemed to have been enraged by the continuous attacks. It spread its two pairs of giant wings, and dozens of magic circles of various sizes appeared around it, flashing with destructive light.

"Raise the protective shield to maximum power immediately! Hurry!" people shouted in alarm.

“This guy is definitely not that Mad Dragon,” Edgar muttered to himself. “If the Mad Dragon on the border were this strong, the Warrior Kingdom would have been unable to hold back long ago. Who exactly is this guy!”

In a panic, people raised the magic shield to its maximum power, potentially exceeding its capacity, in preparation for the impending attack of the raging dragon. Everyone was on tenterhooks, worried that the shield might not be able to hold up.

Just then, a blue jet suddenly shot up in the palace, carrying the illusory mermaid, which looked like it was made of pearl bubbles, towards the mad dragon.

"That's... the familiar summoned by Lanler?"

Familiars can be understood as errand boys formed using magic, responsible for doing all sorts of things for magicians. Each person's familiar will have a different appearance depending on their mental state.

As for why Lanler's familiar is a beautiful female mermaid, who knows?

"Why did he send his familiar up there? Could it be that he's trying to stop the Mad Dragon?"

People didn't believe him, after all, the army had done nothing.

The closer the mermaid got to the mad dragon, the more she was scorched by the high temperature, and her body was disappearing rapidly. But before she completely disappeared, she threw the stone-like object in her hand at the mad dragon's head with all her might.

Upon closer inspection, the stone appears to be a photo stone left by the pigeons.

The recording stone shattered right in front of the mad dragon, but before it broke, it successfully played the first image inside.

In an instant, Kuanglong saw a huge, strong man descend from the sky and charge towards him!

What a terrifyingly strong man he was! In its entire life, it had never felt such intense killing intent and sky-piercing fighting spirit!
Ratahn charged in front of the mad dragon, followed by an unstoppable, thunderous explosion!
"Ow!"

The mad dragon let out a terrible howl, and the dozens of magic arrays that were ready to be unleashed suddenly disappeared. Its entire dragon's momentum seemed to have weakened in an instant.

One second later.

"null--"

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the mad dragon let out a cry that sounded like it was afraid, flapped its wings and soared into the sky, its figure quickly disappearing into the horizon.

The mad dragon has escaped!
All of this happened so suddenly that people were caught off guard.

The sky over the capital city has returned to silence.

"Lanler, what have you done?"

In the royal palace, Bontou looked at his son in disbelief. When had his son grown up to the point of driving away the mad dragon?

Lanler breathed a sigh of relief, a look of satisfaction on his face, and said:
"I just showed that stupid dragon a glimpse of the battle festival."

"Battle Festival?"

Bontou repeated the word, still finding it magical.

The image of Ratahn in the video actually managed to scare away a living, mad dragon.

"Father, I've made up my mind."

Lanler's expression shifted several times, but he finally said with great determination:

"I'm going to the Sien Dungeon right now to check out that battle festival!"

General Rataen of Shattered Stars, who could scare away a mad dragon with just his image.
He absolutely had to see him!
