Chapter 186: Chapter 147: Gap
In traditional Dragon Knight combat, ranged attacks are generally used for harassment and probing. A Dragon Knight’s fight would quickly escalate into close-quartered brawl. However, this Long Yi did not give his opponent a chance to brawl at all!
Firstly, this was Long Yi’s first time on a dragon’s back. He was eager to test if his past experience was still applicable. It turned out that as long as the maneuver was airborne and within the scope of basic physics, there was no difference. If there was one major distinction, it would be that compared to fighter jets, Flying Dragons moved slower, but had more agility in the air.
On the other hand, it was impossible for Long Yi to engage in a brawl with his opponent! How could Long Yi possibly win if the fight entered the true melee stage of a Dragon Knight? Although he was confident in his strength, a melee in the air was not just about one person, but reliant on seamless coordination between the Dragon Knight and his Mount Dragon. Long Yi had never received any air brawl training, and furthermore, he didn’t have his own Mount Dragon. Going into an air brawl under these circumstances, there could only be one outcome - defeat!
Are you kidding me! Long Yi had considered this very clearly! If he wanted to win the battle, he could only rely on his many years of aerial combat experience and technically outmaneuver his opponent to death!
Vincent felt like he was being driven mad. Long Yi kept releasing his Sword Qi Slash, with an occasional volley of magical missiles, pushing him into a war of attrition! To fight in this manner, was he trying to see whose dragon would die of exhaustion first? No, Vincent didn’t even need to wait for exhaustion, he felt he would be infuriated to death with this!
Damn it!
This was Vincent’s third attempt at a sharp about-face, a move that had always been effective in training and on the battlefield. But today, whenever he tried it, his opponent would immediately halt with that damned move.
You’re dumbfounded, aren’t you? I can stop! Standing on the dragon saddle, Long Yi, grinning, stared at Vincent’s eyes hidden under the helmet, knowing that the latter must be on the verge of going ballistic even without seeing clearly.
While performing the cobra maneuver in an aircraft was very dangerous due to the structural requirements of the aircraft, no fighter jet in the world could hover in a vertical state.
But dragons could!
So, how could he win?
Could he compete with the Fighting Aura Slash? That would be difficult.
Compete with the dragons?
Wait, there’s a way!
Long Yi executed a vertical hover on his Hammerhead Dragon, floating in mid-air with his Dragon-slaying Sword in hand, beckoning Vincent from afar, he called out,
"Come on, give you a chance."
A chance?
No! It’s a trap!
Vincent, being a seasoned warrior from the battlefield, knew very well that no enemy would give you a chance. Every opportunity was laden with traps! This Long Yi was extremely cunning, he wouldn’t possibly give Vincent any leeway!
However, in front of him, the Hammerhead Dragon was hovering vertically, its belly facing him, and the Dragon Knight was on the dragon’s back. If this wasn’t a chance, then what was?
Even if it’s a trap, I need to try it! Let’s see if your trap is strong enough!
With its roars turning into fury from having been toyed with, the Black Water Dragon let out a jet of black water from its mouth, targeting the Hammerhead Dragon, while accelerating itself by flapping its wings!
But the moment the Black Water Dragon raised its head, the Hammerhead Dragon closed its wings and fell straight down!
Falling?
Chase him!
The Black Water Dragon roared and chased after it. Its superior position above its opponent was an excellent attacking opportunity!
The Black Water Dragon continuously let out Dragon Breath. The cursed mist exploded behind Long Yi. The Ethereal Light Shield around the Hammerhead Dragon flickered to keep the curse at bay. Curses fell within the scope of magic, and ordinary Dragon Knights had a very low resistance to magic. But Long Yi was different - he was half a Mage! Ethereal Light Shield was good at blocking any magic. As for a simple curse, it was nothing more than a trifle!
Watching the Hammerhead Dragon descend, Vincent sneered secretly. The faster it descended, the more he kept his belly facing Vincent. When it wanted to turn around, could it still fly? What awaited it was a kiss from the ground!
Vincent didn’t bother to make further moves either. He was eager to see what the opponent was going to do.
Just then, a tiny shadow approached quickly from behind. Vincent, wearing a helmet, didn’t see it at all. And it was in the blind spot of the Black Water Dragon!
With a snap, something suddenly struck Vincent’s helmet. The sturdy helmet was instantly deformed, blocking his line of sight completely.
"Damn it!"
At that moment, the Hammerhead Dragon suddenly unfolded its wings halfway, rolled to the side three times successively, and then fully expanded its wings with a whoosh. To Vincent’s surprise, the Hammerhead Dragon had already landed above the Black Water Dragon!
Damn it! You bastard!
Swearing frantically, Vincent thrust the Dragon-slaying Sword back into its sheath, and with a forceful pull, he tore his helmet in two. At that very moment, a huge figure had already descended onto him from the sky.
Hence, Vincent passed out, unable to even see what the person who struck him looked like.
"I don’t accept this! I do not accept!!"
Upon waking up, Vincent glared at Long Yi, shouting vehemently at Captain Sweel.
"You’ve already lost?" Captain Sweel said nonchalantly. He could understand Vincent’s sentiment. However, on the battlefield, the enemy would never give you a chance to dispute. It was either death or capture. What’s the point of accepting or not? Who cares if you do or do not?
