Boom! Boom!
The sound of pounding footsteps kept getting closer. At the same time, there was a powerful surge of energy waves. Looking towards the mountains from here, one could see that even the air had distorted slightly.
âYou know him?â The one who called himself Romeon, the Protector, looked at Glyn. His eyes were serious. When Glyn didnât reply after a few seconds, he added, âI heard your conversation. You called him the âFerde lord.ââ
Glyn felt troubled now. At first, he thought that with Level-9 power, he would have no opponents in this world other than the Ferde lord. Now, a Legendary Protector suddenly appeared. He could feel from the guyâs tone that he only saw Glyn as a slightly powerful summoned. He also knew about demons and didnât trust Glyn.
With someone like him here, it would be impossible to summon Nozama. Glyn really wanted to just leave now.
When he still didnât reply, Protector Romeon frowned slightly. His hands tightened around his wand. âDemon, donât test my patience!â
Glyn was forced to nod. âIndeed. His name is Link. Heâs a very cruel black dragon. He once personally killed more than 100,000 people in another realm... I think that, with your experience, you must know how terrifying a Legendary dragon is, right?â
As soon as he finished, there was another booming footstep. After that, part of a huge black shadow appeared behind a mountain. It was only a part, but they could already see the dragon body clearly.
Romeon naturally saw it too. His brows knitted more tightly.
Right then, commotion arose from a mountain near the magic seal. Listening closely, one could hear screams, clattering hooves, yells, and chaos.
Summoner Franklanâs face paled. âThe army revolted. Protector, what should we do?â
Troymâs army was camped at that side of the mountain. With at least 150,000 people, it was a huge force. But with such a horrible beast before them that could destroy the world, it didnât matter how many people they had. They were only mortals and were definitely terrified now.
If they didnât act quickly, Troymâs army would fall apart.
If they could assure the soldiers, take advantage of some catapult, group spell, piercing arrows or other machinery, they could at least distract the dragon. This would greatly lighten their burden.
Everyone present understood this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that their opportunity was about to end, Demon Magician Glyn threw all caution to the wind. Turning, he called at Romeon, âProtector, please act before itâs too late!â
Only the Protector could fight Link. Everyone else was too weak.
Romeon was hesitant too. Seeing the black dragonâs might, he wasnât confident in defeating it. But he was the Protector of the Fedaro Continent. Protecting this world was his lifelong vow when heâd joined this Magicianâs organization. Now that there was a black dragon invader, he had to take responsibility.
Thinking of this, he inhaled deeply and turned. âFranklan, take your summoned with. Itâs up to us.â
With that, the unicorn started galloping in the air, instantly reaching an extreme speed. It cut a silver-white arc as it flew towards the battlefield ahead.
âYes, Protector!â At this time, the Legendary Protector was their last hope. After that, Franklan turned to Glyn. âMaster...â
Glyn waved his hand. âNo need. We will follow the summoning contract and help you defeat the black dragon king. Letâs go!â
Franklan was overjoyed. He turned and hurried to the frontline.
The two demons behind Glyn hurried over. âCommander, are we really going?â Demon Gamiwa murmured. âThat Protector looks young and inexperienced. How can he be the Ferde lordâs match?â
The Ferde lord was the god of death. Heâd killed so many demons. The demons in the Abyss hated him to bits, but power was power. To them, the Ferde lord was an impassable mountain.
Gaulle also nodded lightly. âHow about we escape now?â
Glyn liked that idea, but he quickly shook his head. âDonât forget Masterâs mission! At least we have a Legendary figure helping now and Troymâs army. Itâs still possible to win. Letâs go.â
It was risky, but if they could defeat the Ferde lord and control his soul, then Glyn would have accomplished something great. His master would definitely reward him.
The two demons had no objections and could only follow Glyn to the frontline.
Roar! The dragon roared again. Because they were much closer, disturbances visible to the naked eye rippled through the air.
Under the sound waves, big trees shook violently and could snap at any time. The Troym soldiers who were close plugged their ears and rolled on the ground. The weaker ones even started bleeding from their mouths and noses. They were actually injured.
How could they fight against this?
The Troym soldiers were losing their resolve; they were close to breaking down.
âKeep steady! Steady!â the general yelled hysterically.
A few generals had already slain some deserters to keep the situation under control. But this was only temporary. When the dragon got closer, even the generals would probably turn to flee.
In the mountains, King Morahan of the Blacklan Kingdom and the group of summoners looked at Troymâs camp from afar. Seeing this, the king gulped. âMaster,â he murmured to Magician Dadara. âYouâve really done something great. Not only have you protected Blacklan Kingdom, but you might also even destroy Troym!â
Dadara was more clear-headed. âYour Majesty, itâs not definite yet. Weâve used the sacrifice spell to summon the black dragon king and must have alerted the Protector. The dragon might not be the Protectorâs match.â
âThe Protector? He canât be that fast.â The king was shocked.
At this time, a soldier beside him yelled, âLook, thereâs a flying unicorn in the sky!â
Everyone turned to look. There really was a snowy white unicorn flying towards the battlefield at an unimaginable speed. Looking closely, there was a youth dressed as a Magician on the unicorn.
âItâs Protector Romeon!â Dadara was shocked. Heâd seen the Protector before. The silver hair, snowy-white robe, unicorn, and handsome, youthful features were all of Romeonâs characteristics.
He looked young, but he was actually more than 100 years old. He was one of the most powerful Protectors in Fedaro.
Dadara knew that his actions would alert the Protectors, but he didnât think that he would attract the attention of someone so powerful. The black dragon king looked powerful, but Dadara wasnât sure if he could win against the Protector.
The king had only heard of the Protector before. Seeing the unicorn streaking like lightning, he asked anxiously, âMaster, that Protector looks so young. He canât be that powerful, right?â
âI donât know. Oneâs body isnât the critical factor in a Legendary battle. Usually, just one spell can decide the victor.â Dadara was quite knowledgeable.
The king felt sweat seep from his forehead. From what he knew, the kings whoâd gone against the Protectors never had good endings. These things had happened many times before.
Would he and his kingdom have a tragic ending too?
Roar! The black dragon, as big as a hill, walked out from the mountains. He was covered in a layer of air ripples. The specific details of his body were hard to see. After walking out, he stopped around 1500 feet from the camp. With a whoosh, he unfurled his huge dragon wings. The wings were at least 300 feet wide and they seemed to cover the entire sky.
Afterwards, the dragon wings flapped towards the army. A gust of wild wind appeared instantly, and the sky twisted violently. From afar, it looked like a tidal wave crashing towards the army.
One would expect that many soldiers would be dead or gravely injured once the wind rushed past the army. Their morale would be destroyed too.
Right then, Protector Romeonâs wand flashed in the air. His body was instantly as bright as the sun. An instant later, a pillar of light at least 30 feet thick fell from the sky. It spread into a wall of light, blocking the wild wind.
Whoosh, whoosh.
The wind pounded but couldnât budge the wall of light.
Immediately after, the âsunâ in the sky intoned with a voice that resonated through the world, âBlack dragon, leave here. Leave this realm, or die!â
There was a Legendary Protector here?
Link squinted at the figure in the sky in some shock. The sacrifice spell isnât accepted by the world and immediately alerted the top force in this realm. This is probably only the first wave of power. If I wreak havoc in this realm without caring, there will probably be many more resistors. I will become a public enemy.
If he really became a public enemy, the entire realmâs power would join against him. It was just like how Nozama had invaded Firuman and conducted many massacres. The different races immediately allied with each other. Many mysterious forces were helping too.
For example, Link felt that he was always weirdly lucky when fighting against Nozama. This was probably due to the aid of some unknown forces.
If he went too overboard, he would probably be resisted similarly by this realm. Of course, he was far from that level. He could still control himself.
These thoughts flashed past his mind, and he figured out what to do.
Looking up at the blazing âsun,â Link laughed. âMagician, I can smell the fear in your heart.â
