Chapter 1639: Chapter 194 Rapid Advance_3
Xuan Yue leaned over to Ah Dai and asked, "How is it? Are those Rotten Dragons easy to deal with?"
Ah Dai shook his head and said, "They’re not easy to deal with at all. The defense of these Rotten Dragons is far stronger than I expected. Even with my seventh transformation phase of life force battle energy, I cannot destroy even one Rotten Dragon with a single punch."
A flash of surprise crossed the Pope’s eyes as he frowned and said, "Are they really that difficult to handle? These Rotten Dragons are highly toxic, and if the main forces were to charge in, it would result in significant losses. It seems that launching a large-scale attack magic is the only option. Let’s try Divine Judgment. Yue Yue, you won’t participate. Xuan Ye, Yu Jian, Mang Siu, you three lead two thousand priests and take immediate action."
"Yes, Your Excellency," the Pope. The Divine Judgment unleashed by two thousand priests, along with three Red Robe Priests, definitely possesses the power of a Forbidden Curse. The enormous Divine Judgment focused its attack power entirely on the over a thousand Rotten Dragons, huge lines of golden lightning continuously struck the massive bodies of the Rotten Dragons which were unable to dodge. Amidst the resounding explosions, the first wave of offense successfully wiped out over three hundred Rotten Dragons. However, the battle did not proceed as smoothly as anticipated. All the Rotten Dragons seemed to go berserk; their eyes turned completely red as they suddenly charged toward the crowd on the hillside. Rotten Dragons are somewhat intelligent, and when faced with threats to their survival, they’re no longer concerned about the threats from the Undead Handbook; their only desire is to immediately wipe out these enemies that have invaded their territory.
Watching the Rotten Dragons rapidly charging toward the outer perimeter of their lands, the Pope frowned. Despite Divine Judgment’s immense power, there is a certain interval between lightning strikes. The defensive power of Rotten Dragons is not to be compared with that of Zombies, and despite the combined attack from two thousand priests and three Red Robe Priests, they only managed to destroy three hundred dragons in the first strike. Judging by the distance and speed, these Rotten Dragons can withstand at most one more attack before reaching the front of the crowd. To ensure safety, the Pope turned to Xuan Yuan, "Judgment Chief, lead all the judges in full defense; do not allow the Rotten Dragons to reach our priests. Ah Dai, you should go too." Ah Dai and Xuan Yuan exchanged a glance and immediately led over a thousand judges forward, blocking the priests.
At this time, the second wave of attacks from Divine Judgment had been unleashed, a total of three rows of dense lightning exploded onto the advancing Rotten Dragons. The dazzling golden light left the crowd momentarily awestruck. The Pope calmly said, "Stop Divine Judgment; all priests immediately add support magic for the judges, then use single-target attack magic to strike the Rotten Dragons."
Under the Pope’s command, the golden clouds in the sky dispersed, and circles of sacred light enveloped the judges. Ah Dai felt a shock through his body, as if an increase in strength surged within him, and there was a layer of faint golden light surrounding his body. However, due to the vast difference in cultivation level, these support magic spells did not have a significant effect on him; the poison from the Rotten Dragons couldn’t harm him. As the Rotten Dragons were about to reach the front of the crowd, including Chief Judge Xuan Yuan, the judges all felt somewhat tense. The enormous bodies of the Rotten Dragons, three to four meters tall, charged with roaring sounds, and having lost six hundred companions in succession, these Rotten Dragons had gone berserk. The remaining nearly one thousand all had bloodshot eyes, surrounded by swirling red mist during their breathing.
Ah Dai stood at the front of the group, exchanged a look with Xuan Yuan, and leapt into the air, hovering in midair, his eyes glinting sharply. The golden Sumeru Sword gradually appeared, an overwhelming and irresistible powerful aura spread out, making Ah Dai’s body seem as towering as a mountain. Behind him, Xuan Yuan and the judges involuntarily felt a sense of submission and respect surged within them. Ah Dai slowly squinted his eyes, raised the Sumeru Sword high in his hands. The Rotten Dragons charging forward seemed to sense the threat from the Sumeru Sword, and their advancing speed slowed down somewhat, but their eyes were already bloodshot, and they absolutely would not retreat. The leading Rotten Dragon stomped heavily on the ground and fiercely lunged at Ah Dai, spewing a breath of poisonous red mist toward him. Ah Dai showed no intention of retreat; he gripped the Sumeru Sword with both hands, drawing a semi-circle in the air and slashing forward gracefully. The golden light, tangible and bright, flashed and disappeared, while the red mist, though highly sticky, completely dissolved under the formidable attack of the Sumeru Sword’s soaring energy. The golden light smoothly cleaved into the Rotten Dragon’s head, and under that overwhelming energy, the Rotten Dragon’s body was shattered, turning into dust and falling to the ground. Having slain a Rotten Dragon, Ah Dai did not feel any excitement; he distinctly sensed the Rotten Dragon’s formidable defensive power while using the energy of the Sumeru Sword to crush it. Even with his cultivation, it was impossible to destroy them en masse in a short time. But now he had no time for hesitation; numerous Rotten Dragons had already charged forward. Lines of golden light from behind Ah Dai rushed into the Rotten Dragon ranks, these attacks infused with sacred aura slightly slowed the Rotten Dragons’ advance. It was precisely the single-target attacks from thousands of priests of the Holy Church. Although these holy magic attacks usually seemed to have considerable power, when used against Rotten Dragons at this moment, they were far from easily succeeding. These sacred Light Magic attacks were significantly weaker than the previous Divine Judgment, and were greatly diminished within the Rotten Dragon’s red breath, only some powerful strikes could break the bones and tear the tendons of the Rotten Dragons, but they could not bring them to their death.
