Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

The high-temperature furnace built on volcanic magma burns day and night. The ore mined from the earth elemental plane is continuously forged into a massive amount of rough but tough weapons through assembly line operations.

Ten years have passed, and arenas of all sizes have spread across every developed territory in the wilderness. Those battle-hardened creatures have now been drawn out and incorporated into the legions under the Darkin.

When the army sets out, it is like a crimson tide spreading out from the wilderness, or a plague called war sweeping in.

The Bloodhunters, composed of gnolls and beastmen, charged ahead of the army, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.

The centaurs, covered in heavy scales and as large as small war fortresses, stomped the earth with their iron hooves, producing a thunderous roar.

The soldiers' shouts soared into the sky, and every now and then flames or thunderbolts would rise into the air, exploding into dazzling light.

Apart from the manpower necessary to maintain the normal operation of the territory, Thor has mobilized almost his entire force this time, with the aim of completely eradicating the entire Zantarlin Society.

In addition, war itself is the most emotionally charged behavior, and coupled with the death that accompanies it, it will surely bring Thor a large amount of spiritual essence.

As the army, bearing the crimson dragon banner, gradually approached human territory, the lords of the city-states near the wilderness were terrified and fell silent, desperately praying that they would not be affected.

After all, not all city-state lords are wealthy enough to build walls tens of meters high and large magic arrays that cover the entire city.

Some of them are called lords, but they only control one or two small towns, and the total population of all of them probably does not exceed ten thousand.

The guards used to protect the territory consisted of only a hundred or so people, most of whom were just low-level professionals.

The low earthen wall outside their territory was barely enough to defend against some ferocious animals and weak, evil creatures, but it was practically useless against the Darkborn, who averaged 9 meters in height.

Even the legions under the Darkin, as well as the goblins and kobolds who serve as servants, are a huge threat to them.

At this time, most of the city-state lords on the desolate borderlands had already abandoned their territories and fled to large inland cities for refuge.

Only a few people with true faith and perseverance stayed behind, but they also stopped all production and moved everyone into relatively safe fortresses, praying for divine mercy so that they could escape this calamity.

Since it was not the right time to wage a full-scale war against the entire North, Thor did not focus his attention on these poor wretches and did not intend to make things difficult for them.

However, the military is inherently a machine of violence, and once it is in motion, it is extremely difficult to completely control it.

Especially since Thor's army is composed almost entirely of violent, bloodthirsty, and evil creatures, it makes things even more difficult.

Fortunately, due to the curse of the mad dragon, all the Darkin are almost absolutely loyal to him and can obey his orders without question. The dragonblood kobolds, needless to say, have the great dragon lord's commands as their very reason for existence and their faith.

Besides these, the army was also mixed with other miscellaneous evil creatures, some of whom were not even Thor's subordinates, but had spontaneously gathered from some unknown corner of the world.

They had no concept of an army at all, and followed Thor's legion in a chaotic manner, acting almost entirely on instinct.

In order to obtain food, or simply to satisfy their destructive desires, they naturally cannot resist rushing to plunder when passing through villages and human settlements.

Thor saw all of this, but he didn't care. He didn't care about the humans or the evil creatures; they were just a bunch of tiny insects anyway.

This crimson tide surged deeper and deeper, almost reaching the heart of human territory, when on this day, an uninvited group of guests appeared at the front of the army.

…………

Intense magical light shot into the sky like pillars, intertwining and forming a thick barrier, like a city wall blocking the army's path.

Some tiny figures floated silently in mid-air, their wide robes fluttering in the wind.

Among the Bloodhunters leading the army, a ferocious werewolf leaped up, its eyes flashing with crimson light, and pounced straight at them.

However, just as his body leaped into the air, he was inexplicably frozen and stiffly fell to the ground.

This immediately triggered a chain reaction, with more Bloodhunters bearing the characteristics of wild beasts frantically swarming in from all directions, but a glint of light swept over them, and they all repeated the same fate as the former.

Such a powerful performance is clearly beyond the capabilities of ordinary creatures.

On Erola's still pretty face, a near-maniacal smile appeared. Dense dragon-attribute energy transformed into black and red lightning on her body, coiling around the huge lance in her hand, extending forward with sharp rays of light.

As the nearly 15-meter-tall centaur began its charge, each stomp of its massive iron hooves caused the earth to crack, spreading outwards in a spiderweb-like pattern.

The air was compressed, forming a substantial wind pressure barrier in front of him, and then the spear lifted him forward, injecting dragon-attribute energy into it, transforming it into a giant cone of light.

The ground along the way was plowed into deep depressions like riverbeds. The terrifying power made the people in front feel a chill. They waved their staffs lightly, and the magical barrier behind them instantly expanded and moved forward.

boom--!!

The next instant, the black and red light cone slammed into the azure barrier. The azure magical light and the black and red lightning intertwined wildly, and a powerful shockwave swept outwards.

The magical barrier, which resembled a city wall, began to shake violently at this moment, gradually caved inward.

But that's all. The barrier set up by several top spellcasters from the North is not so easy to break through.

A tremendous force of recoil struck, sending Erola's massive body flying backward, her hooves scraping against the ground and leaving several deep dents.

The centaur, which had been crouching low, raised its head, its long hair billowing upwards like flames under the rising dragon-attribute energy.

The thunderous sound of hooves echoed behind her as more centaurs, their lances raised, began their charge.

One after another, the giant-like Darkin spread their dragon wings and quickly took to the air, casting shadows that covered a large area of ​​the land, pressing down like thick clouds.

Just as a great battle was about to break out, a crimson meteor suddenly streaked across the sky and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye, crashing down on the thick magical barrier in front of them.

Chapter 328 Collision

High-speed impacts have become Thor's unique way of greeting people; only those who survive such an attack are qualified to speak with him.

Speeds exceeding Mach 10 are enough to catch most creatures off guard, but not these top-tier powerhouses.

A sudden gale tore through the clouds, the enormous red dragon folded its wings, its crimson body trailing a fiery tail that stretched for miles. The air was scorched and crackled by the high-speed friction, and all the air currents along its path were shattered.

At the critical moment, several powerful figures from the North stepped forward simultaneously, unleashing a surge of immense magical power from their bodies.

A silver-haired lady gently raised her hand, and a stream of silvery-white magical light spread out from her body. The gentle yet indestructible astral protective barrier took shape first, layered like a silver moon dome, with sacred magic intertwined to form an impenetrable defensive barrier.

The purple-eyed lady beside him had a solemn look in her eyes. A storm of dark blue magic surged out, layering on top of each other to form a protective barrier. She used illusion and shaping power to strengthen the barrier's resilience and offset the tearing force brought by the high-speed impact.

Above the sky, the Storm Queen's hair danced wildly, and a sudden blizzard gathered, the power of the extreme cold elements condensing into an ice-patterned magic shield that merged and complemented the Silverfire Barrier.

The remaining melee fighters all lowered their guard and stood ready. One of the rangers, wielding two swords, had a spiritual aura flowing around him, his taut body poised to receive the aftershocks.

The dwarf, gripping his warhammer, moved with a steady gait, concentrating his imposing aura before him, using his physical strength to stabilize the foundation of the barrier.

More accompanying members joined in, continuously channeling their magical power into their bodies.

The next instant, the red dragon's body, carrying immense force, slammed into the center of the magic barrier!

A deafening, earth-shattering explosion erupted, and the shockwave swept wildly in all directions from the point of impact. Trees were instantly uprooted, and rubble flew everywhere. The entire earth shook violently as if struck by an earthquake.

Thor's incredibly hard scales and scorching hot dragon body pressed fiercely against the surface, while pitch-black lightning and dreamlike rainbows blazed wildly at the barrier's light screen.

The terrifying impact of the speed exceeding Mach 10 was transmitted layer by layer through the barrier, causing every powerful spellcaster to shudder, their robes to flutter wildly, their faces to turn pale, and their internal magic to fluctuate violently.

The dazzling magical light screen was deeply dented by the impact, its light fluctuated violently, and fine magical runes kept cracking on its surface, yet it remained stubbornly in place and never completely collapsed.

Ice and fire, holiness, shadow, elements, and multiple powers merged into one, forcefully deflecting and gradually buffering the extreme downward force that was enough to split mountains and shatter the earth. The raging dragon's momentum was firmly locked outside the barrier, and the blazing flames could not penetrate even half a step. The ferocious dragon's body was firmly held back by the solid magical barrier, making it difficult to advance even half an inch downward.

The magical radiance clashed violently with the golden-red dragon, and the two immense forces in the world were locked in a stalemate.

All the impact force was channeled into the ground at that moment, causing a deafening roar to resound for several kilometers around, and dust to rise into the sky and gradually settle downwards.

Although it was a bit difficult, they managed to block the attack, but the next moment they saw the huge red dragon flap its wings and soar into the sky again.

The violently spewing dragon energy propelled Thor's body, causing him to accelerate rapidly and spiral in mid-air, forming a huge crimson ring.

In the blink of an eye, his speed accelerated to an extremely terrifying level. His entire body suddenly vanished into the astral plane, and when he reappeared, he was already slashing down like a sharp sword.

Boom! ...

A deafening roar resounded once more, shockwaves surged outwards like a tidal wave, the brilliant magical light twisted violently, and the surrounding earth seemed to be struck by an invisible hammer, suddenly sinking a section.

Even through the dented and deformed magical barrier, many powerful figures from the North could see the sinister grin on the red dragon's face, its mouth splitting open to the sides, its fangs gleaming coldly.

Those claws, seemingly forged from divine metal, were wreathed in jet-black lightning and dreamlike rainbows, slowly piercing into the magical barrier and tearing it apart to the sides.

From its massive chest radiated a brilliant light, like the rising sun ascending up its throat and being contained within its ferocious maw.

High-temperature plasma escaped through the gaps between the lips and teeth, like wisps of smoke or misty water vapor, constantly scorching the surrounding air and causing it to distort like water ripples.

It is foreseeable that the moment the barrier is torn open, a devastating blast of energy will erupt from it.

Given the current situation, it's only a matter of time.

The group immediately dared not stop them. Taking advantage of the magic barrier's ability to hold them off for a moment, they flashed white light and enveloped all their companions, instantly disappearing from their original spot.

Without the support of further magic, the entire massive magical barrier was easily torn apart by Thor, like fragile glass, and scattered into countless points of light.

Thor turned his head, his molten gold pupils flashing, and looked at the figures that had appeared in the distance.

Elasdra Silverhand and Lyra Silverhand, two of the Seven Sisters of the North, along with the drow elf wielding dual swords, should be Twisted Fate if nothing unexpected happens.

It is said that this guy can take on Balor the Fire Demon single-handedly with just two curved swords, and that is something that the yandere old woman Rose longs for but cannot have.

Since Lolth is the goddess of betrayal, and Drizzt betrayed the drow elves, in a way, wasn't he also fulfilling her teachings?

A jumble of thoughts flashed through Thor's mind as he stared at the three leaders: two chosen ones of the goddesses of magic, and the presence closely watched by the Spider Queen of the Abyss. It was indeed a formidable force.

As for the other members of the entourage, they were nothing more than tiny insects, and Thor didn't take them seriously.

The massive red dragon's mouth still contained immense energy, with high-temperature plasma rising and dispersing like smoke and mist, as it roared with maniacal laughter:

"I wondered who dared to stand in my way. It turns out to be the famous Seven Sisters of the North. How come I only see the two of you? Where are the rest?"

And you, you black-skinned rat, didn't that old hag Rose give you any trouble? You actually have time to meddle in my business!

The moment the sarcastic words were uttered, the faces of the people in the distance darkened. However, as calm spellcasters and seasoned veterans, they were clearly not so easily angered as to forget the purpose of their trip.

As the leader, Elasro spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet it resounded throughout the entire sky.

"No need for the Red Emperor to worry, we have come here for another matter."

Please halt your advance! The land ahead belongs to humans, not to you.

The people of the North cannot withstand the ravages of your army; please do not cause unnecessary death and injury.

Thor snorted two plumes of smoke dismissively; he already knew what these guys wanted before they even opened their mouths.

Sure enough! Those who advocate good are always hesitant and constrained by morality and their own conscience. Even before the Zantalin Society, which they see as their target, has made a move, they have already jumped out.

Chapter 329 No one can stop me!

Thor swung his claws to stop his men from rushing forward, and his gaze shifted downwards to see the Bloodhunters who had fallen earlier struggling to get up from the ground.

Clearly, the other side was also unprepared to fight him, and their main purpose this time was to dissuade him. Therefore, they did not kill him earlier, which is why Thor was willing to talk to them a few more words.

However, it was impossible to make him back down based on this alone. The enormous red dragon looked into the distance, its eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

"Human territory? Not a place for me? Back when dragons ruled the land, you hairless monkeys were probably hiding in some cave, barely surviving."

There are no human-owned territories, and no place I can't go! If you want to stop me, feel free to come and try!

The arrogant voice rolled across the sky like thunder, even stirring up the clouds above.

Elasdra remained silent, not surprised by Thor's refusal. After all, red dragons were arrogant and tyrannical creatures, and could not be persuaded with just a few words.

Lyra, standing to the side, frowned. As one of the de facto rulers of Waterdeep and a chosen one of the gods, she disliked the red dragon's overly arrogant tone from the bottom of her heart.

"The rule of dragons and giants is long gone, and the age of elves is history. It's pointless to talk about these things."

The northern lands are where we have lived for thousands of years. Generations of humans have multiplied and built here, and have long since made it their home.

I admit that you, Red Emperor, are powerful, but if you think that this gives you the right to act recklessly here, you are sorely mistaken!

The history of magic predates that of dragons, and the power it can unleash is far beyond your imagination.

As soon as she finished speaking, a layer of silvery-white flames swirled around her body, cold and smokeless, looking like a stream of light solidified into a tangible form.

This is Silverfire, a divine power bestowed upon the seven sisters of the North by the goddess of magic, a powerful energy originating from the very source of the magic network.

It not only possesses powerful killing and destructive capabilities, but can also repair dead magic areas, purify anti-magic fields, grant immunity to most mind spells, and allow users to adapt to various extreme environments... and so on, exhibiting a variety of powerful characteristics.

The Archmage's supernatural ability, Arcane Fire, is somewhat similar to it, but it can only be considered a severely downgraded and stripped-down version.

Even Thor couldn't help but feel a little wary of this divine power, because this divinely bestowed power was almost completely unaffected by spell resistance, and would inevitably cause injury if it landed on him.

Fortunately, his extreme flight speed and strong physique were not just for show; it would be no easy task for the opponent to hit him, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to seriously injure him easily.

What we really need to be wary of is a group of Mystra's voters teaming up, teleporting close, and then using time stop to unleash a concentrated barrage of attacks with silver fire.
