I really need to prove the power of the dragon race, otherwise I'll be looked down upon.
"In the name of the Blue Dragonflight! In the name of Malygos, let me show you the wrath of dragons!" Kalecgos roared, abandoning his elven form.
Accompanied by a blinding blue arcane glow and a tooth-grinding sound of bones stretching, his body swelled up rapidly, instantly reverting to his massive blue dragon form!
With wingspan that blotted out the sky, the cold dragon's might pressed down on the charging enemies as if it were a tangible force, causing the orcs and trolls at the forefront to pause in their movements.
"Yes, yes, a... a giant dragon!" a Dark Iron dwarf musketeer cried out in terror. They had just succeeded in their sneak attack, but now, facing the fully-formed dragon, they felt the pressure from a life-level perspective.
"Damn it, they're tough! Charge!" The dwarf chieftain roared, brandishing his giant axe and charging forward. The orcs, trolls, and ogres behind him also roared, raising their heavy warhammers and blades. Some of the Dark Iron dwarves even raised their muskets.
"What are you afraid of! He's injured, let's go together, tonight we'll slay the dragon! Lok'Tar Ogar!" roared the leading orc warrior, Kulock Blackrock, forcibly suppressing his fear. His massive double-bladed axe, accompanied by a piercing shriek as it tore through the air, slashed first at Kalecgos's dragon claws.
At the same time, the dwarf Harkur and the other musketeers opened fire again, unleashing a barrage of magic-piercing bullets at the blue dragon's relatively vulnerable eyes, wing joints, and abdominal wounds. Two ogres howled, wielding maces comparable to battering rams, and struck the blue dragon's sides.
The few skinny orc laborers nimbly circled around to the rear, attempting to attack the dragon's tail and Achilles tendon with poisoned daggers.
The battle instantly intensified!
Facing the rabble charging forward, Kalecgos let out a deafening dragon roar that spread out like a shockwave, making the foremost Kurok and the two ogres dizzy and slowing their movements by half a beat.
Then, the enormous dragon tail swept across like a steel whip, carrying immense force, directly whipping several orc laborers who were trying to sneak up and a troll who couldn't dodge in time, breaking their bones and sending them flying with screams, landing in a distant swamp, their fate unknown.
But the enemy's attack has arrived!
The demon-slaying bullets "plop plop" embedded themselves into his newly healed, still slightly fragile dragon scales, bringing waves of stinging pain, especially to the old wound on his abdomen, where dragon blood seeped out again.
The orc Krok's giant axe slammed into Kalecgos's forepaw, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound, while two ogre maces struck his ribs with a dull thud, making Kalecgos's massive body sway.
This scene made Rhodes shake his head. It wasn't a one-sided battle. You're really useless.
"Roar—!" The intense pain fueled Kalecgos's ferocity. The blue dragon suddenly lowered its head, and its blazing blue breath, like a burst dam, instantly covered the area in front of it!
This is no ordinary flame, but a highly concentrated breath of arcane energy! It is the breath unique to the blue dragon, and the breath of any of the five-colored dragons should not be underestimated.
"Get out of the way!" Harku shouted in terror.
However, the orc Krok and another ogre were unable to dodge in time and were hit head-on by the dragon's breath. The Blackrock orc warrior let out a shrill scream as his body twisted and disintegrated in the blue light, eventually turning into a charred skeleton.
The ogre didn't even have time to scream before it was rapidly dissolved by the dragon's breath energy.
After the dragon's breath subsided, a patch of crystallized scorched earth was left on the ground. This terrifying scene chilled the remaining attackers to the bone, and their offensive slowed down.
"Haha, brilliant! That's more like it, that's the power a dragon should have." Rhodes actually clapped and commented from inside the Holy Light Barrier.
"However, the dragon breath was used well and the purity was high enough, but the close-range defense was too poor. He could even get injured when fighting against grunts."
"Are your dragon scales made of paper? Also, your fighting rhythm is too chaotic, completely disorganized, relying entirely on instinct, utterly weak." After praising the other party, Rhode immediately began to be sarcastic.
"Is this the true power of a dragon? The dragon's breath is powerful! However, he is indeed a bit... flustered, and his combat experience is quite poor." Fina said, stroking her chin.
“Lord Rhodes, he doesn’t seem to be very good at fighting?” Anvina said.
At this moment, wouldn't it be better to take flight and attack from the sky? Besides, you're a blue dragon! Can't you cast a magic shield on yourself? That's a basic skill for a mage!
While it can't stop the anti-magic bullets, it should be able to stop ordinary swords.
Kalecgos listened to the "live commentary" coming from inside the fortress, feeling both angry and anxious, yet unable to refute it.
He indeed lacked real experience in life-or-death combat, spending most of his time researching magic in the Nexus or moving around in mortal society in elven form.
"So we need to give him more life-or-death battles. Come on, Mr. Dragon, there are still enemies to deal with!"
Chapter 283 This anti-magic bullet looks familiar, Kalecgos: You sister
This is a way of indirectly helping Kalecgos. After all, you're so weak, and you could easily lose your life if you keep running around. I'm helping you gain some combat experience.
“Please, sir, you are a blue dragon. Blue dragons are skilled in magic. I have already healed your injuries. Use some magic,” Rhodes said.
Encouraged (or rather, sarcastic) by Rhodes, Kalecgos gritted his teeth and fought off the remaining enemies.
His massive dragon body appeared somewhat clumsy in the narrow swampy woodland. Although his dragon breath was incredibly powerful, clearing an area with each exhale, he still sustained many new wounds from the sporadic sniper shots of the dwarven musketeers and the relentless pursuit of the ogres. His azure dragon scales were stained with mud and blood, making him look quite disheveled.
Even so, the seemingly weak dragon showed the dragon-slaying team what true terror was. What the dragon saw as a daunting battle was, in their eyes, a horrific massacre.
The dwarves raised their hunting rifles once more, and the anti-magic bullets whistled out, causing blood to splatter on Kalecgos's body again. These bullets were truly bizarre; why did they hurt so much?
Rilong's body seemed very vulnerable to this kind of bullet. At first, he thought he was only injured because of a sneak attack, but now it seems that this kind of bullet is very special.
Kalecgos, enraged, unleashed another breath of dragonfire, incinerating the Dark Iron dwarves before him into ashes.
The remaining enemies were terrified by the dragon's breath, especially the two-headed cannibalistic mage (the one that had just died was only one-headed), whose two heads began to argue:
Brain A: "Run! He'll kill us all!"
Brain B: "No way! Gold coins! The glory of slaying dragons!"
In the instant they hesitated, Kalecgos seized the opportunity. Despite his pain, he flapped his massive dragon wings, sending the dwarven musketeers and approaching enemies flying.
It raised its less injured forepaw, and arcane energy condensed on it into countless ice crystal spears.
Arcane Ice Lance - Volley!
Although that guy had a very sharp tongue and was full of malice towards me, he was right. I am a blue dragon and cannot fight with just my physical body and dragon breath. I also need to use some magic.
"Arcane Magic Shield, Frost Shield." The massive blue dragon cast two protective spells on itself in quick succession.
Although the opponent's bullets have some magic-piercing properties, an ice shield should be able to effectively block some of them. The ice shield is actually a layer of physical ice.
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless icy blue spears rained down like a storm, precisely covering all the remaining enemies. Dwarves, orcs, trolls, and even the two-headed ogre still arguing, were instantly pierced and frozen by the dense ice spears, turning into ice sculptures of various poses. Then, under the secondary burst of arcane energy, they shattered into countless ice crystals.
At this moment, only the dwarf leader, Harkur, remained. Holding the dragon-hunting spear in his hand, the Black Iron dwarf trembled all over.
Damn it, how awful! I wanted to avenge my father, but now I'm going to die at the hands of a dragon. Does this mean that mortals are simply no match for dragons, even with this anti-magic weapon?
"Damn dragon, I will not submit to you! Come and kill me if you dare!" The Dark Iron dwarf roared, raising his hunting rifle and cocking it again, aiming at Kalecgos.
The blue dragon had no intention of wasting any more words. The two sides were locked in a life-or-death struggle. It opened its blood-red maw at the dwarf in front of it and spewed out a scorching blue dragon breath, completely melting the last Black Iron dwarf leader.
The battle ended abruptly with the Blue Dragon's explosive counterattack.
The swamp returned to silence, save for Kalecgos's heavy breathing and the dripping sound of dragon blood on the soil. The blue dragon's massive body was covered in wounds; although it had defeated its enemies, it had won rather miserably.
Kalecgos reverted to his dragon form and returned to his elf appearance, his face even paler, his clothes soaked with blood around his waist, and he leaned against a withered tree trunk, barely managing to stand.
To be honest, this battle was a bit sudden. I am usually very gentle. Any intelligent life form can communicate with me if it is willing, and we can talk about anything.
Fighting was a last resort. This time, he was seriously injured and didn't even have a chance to explain. It was obvious that the other party wanted to kill him.
In this situation, all I could do was fight desperately. But I still had to thank the human in front of me. If it weren't for him providing me with healing and giving me some sarcastic advice on how to fight, I wouldn't have survived.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have won. Those damned magic-piercing bullets are just too powerful. Most of the injuries on my body were caused by those things.
After the blue dragon won, Rhodes clapped his hands, then removed the Holy Light Barrier and cast a healing spell.
The green light enveloped Kalecgos's body once more, and life energy surged into the blue dragon's body, healing his injuries once more.
"Although your words were somewhat harsh, thank you for saving me and for showing me how to fight," Kalecgos said, nodding to Rhodes.
“You’re welcome. This is my first time seeing a blue dragon too,” Rhodes said, clapping his hands.
"Rhodes, don't you think their anti-magic bullets look a little familiar?" Jaina asked, stroking her chin and frowning as she approached Rhodes.
Before Rhodes appeared, there were also anti-magic bullets, but they weren't as effective. This time, the anti-magic bullets are quite terrifying; basically, if they hit the blue dragon, it will definitely be injured.
I feel like I've seen this amazing magic-breaking effect somewhere before.
“Really? Let me see.” Rhodes nodded, reached out and picked up a magic-piercing bullet from outside the barrier, examining it closely.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked, because when I did, I was shocked. Doesn't it look familiar? Isn't this my own?
“Rhodes, isn’t this your anti-magic metal? It’s the lowest grade that Iron Man produces.” Jaina recognized the forging material of this anti-magic bullet at a glance.
These are produced by Rhodes' Iron Golem units, not the advanced Gold Golems or Diamond Golems. However, even those produced by the Iron Golems have 75% magic resistance.
If forged into a magic-piercing weapon, it can pierce through many magical creatures in a single blow; coupled with the runes inscribed in the world of Azeroth, it becomes even more terrifying.
“That’s right, it is indeed my magic-breaking metal. The forging technique is quite exquisite! I didn’t expect it to already be in mass production.” Rhodes nodded and said.
At this moment, Kalecgos looked at Rhodes with a hostile expression. So these bullets are yours. You gave them the bullets, and then you used them against me.
At this moment, the blue dragon looked at Rhodes with a wary expression. Was this guy planning to do something to him? Why did he save him but then hurt him?
Does he have some ulterior motive?
“I have to say, these goblins are all experts! You know what? I’ve thought about a weapon like Gina before, but I haven’t had a chance to put it into practice yet,” Rhodes said with a shrug.
Who else could have made this weapon? It's obvious to anyone that they sold their magic-breaking metal to goblins.
These goblins are all talented! When the Battle of Mount Hyjal began, I had the idea of anti-magic bullets, but I hadn't had time to let the dwarves realize this idea and forge suitable anti-magic bullets.
I didn't expect the goblins to have forged bullets with anti-magic properties using metals produced by the Iron Golems. No wonder they were able to beat Kalecgos so badly. Other dragons probably wouldn't have fared much better.
That's great. When I get back, I'll discuss it with inventors like myself and see if it would be even more useful if we modified this thing into a cannonball. We can use it to blast Deathwing.
Or, an even bolder idea: create rockets to bombard the Old Gods, ideally incorporating some Holy Light energy to make them even more lethal against Shadow-type Old Gods.
“There’s a bit of a misunderstanding here, Mr. Blue Dragon. My lover has deep trade ties with the goblins, trading large quantities of anti-magic metal. This stuff wasn’t forged by us; it was produced and sold by the goblins,” Jaina said.
“Goblins? Those green-skinned dwarves?” Kalecgos’s guard lessened slightly upon hearing this, but his brows remained furrowed.
Goblins are notorious throughout Azeroth for their greed and audacity, and if they were to obtain this magical anti-magic metal, they could certainly do anything.
This weapon is terrifying. If it becomes widespread, it won't be good for the dragon race. I'm considered a minor expert among the dragons, and I've been beaten like this.
If it were any other dragon, it would likely die instantly if it encountered this weapon.
“I do have some trade dealings with the Rustwater Conglomerate and some goblin merchants in Hot Sands Harbor. They pay high prices to buy my Ironmen… well, a special metal produced by a magical construct. I’m responsible for providing the raw materials, and what they do with them is none of my business. After all, merchants have their rules, and I’m just a supplier,” Rhodes said with a shrug.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Dragon, you've essentially tested the combat effectiveness of this metal weapon for us. It seems the goblins' forging skills are quite good, though the price might be a bit outrageous."
Kalecgos's lips twitched. Verify the effect? He almost lost his life verifying it!
Just as the group was chatting, another loud dragon roar came from the sky, and a blue dragon, slightly smaller than Kalecgos, with a slender body and graceful curves, descended from the sky.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, she transformed into a tall, beautiful high elf with delicate features and long blue hair.
"I just sensed your presence, Kare. Are you alright?" the female blue dragon asked.
Chapter 284 Fiancée Tyrgossa and Darkan Appear
"Talegra, you, how did you end up here?" Kalecgos stammered as he looked at the blue dragon girl in front of him.
