Chapter 1660: Chapter 199 Bone Dragon Corps
The Pope nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. The church hasn’t launched a Forbidden Curse in who knows how many years, but it seems like today we must use one to get through this crisis. The Divine Judgment that thousands of priests used together back then was very close to the power of a Forbidden Curse, but it is still different compared to a real Forbidden Curse." A proud expression appeared on the Pope’s aged face. The elder, who ruled over the church, had been stirred into internal courage.
Ah Dai smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa is the strongest Magician on the continent. I would like to witness it as well. Rest assured, when the time comes, we will definitely form a strong defensive line and prevent the Bone Dragons from interfering with your spellcasting." As he spoke, everyone began to climb the peak. Ah Dai, accompanied by Sheng Xie and Little Bone, flew ahead, ready to adapt at any moment. Everything was so calm; no creature posing a threat appeared. Ten minutes later, Ah Dai and the two dragons first reached the summit. Impatiently, Ah Dai quickly moved towards the other side of the peak, and when he saw the scene behind the mountain, his whole body shook violently. Although he had mentally prepared himself, when truly faced with it, the magnificent sight still shocked his soul.
On the other side of the mountain, more than two hundred gigantic Bone Dragons rested in the valley. Their bodies were similar to Little Bone’s back then, but their sizes were immense, with even the smallest being over twenty meters long. In the center of these Bone Dragons, two massive Bone Dragons, nearly eighty meters in length, lay there. Their bodies were much larger than a Divine Dragon’s. By this time, the Pope and others had also successively reached the summit. Upon seeing the Bone Dragon Corps in the valley before them, they were deeply shocked just like Ah Dai. These over two hundred powerful creatures, any one of which possessed destructive power, how could they not be astonished? Even though the participants of this operation were all top experts among humans, facing these formidable creatures, including Ah Dai, they had no confidence at all. The Pope was the first to recover from the shock, and said in a deep voice, "They are too strong. I must immediately launch the Forbidden Curse. Ah Dai, once the Forbidden Curse shatters these Bone Dragons’ bodies, you must immediately go down with everyone and completely eradicate them. Do not give them a chance to resurrect; otherwise, we are finished."
Ah Dai nodded gravely. To avoid being discovered by the Bone Dragons, for now, he did not use the Sumeru Sword.
Sheng Xie lay by the edge of the peak, his expression somewhat peculiar, with large golden eyes fixed firmly on the two gigantic Bone Dragons at the center of the valley, as if pondering something.
The Pope and the four Red Robe Priests each took out their Magic Artifacts. Standing in the center, the Pope solemnly said, "I will launch the second-level Forbidden Curse, Eternal Light; all of you help me with all your power." The five Forbidden Curses known to the church are divided into three levels by the perceptions and experiences of successive Popes. Among these, the first-level Forbidden Curses include two: one for attack and one for defense. The Six Wing Angel’s Wall, which the Pope used last time to resist Ah Dai’s Nine Heavens God Thunder, is one of the defensive Forbidden Curses. With the Pope’s cultivation, relying on individual strength, he can release these two first-level Forbidden Curses. The second-level Forbidden Curses also include two, somewhat stronger than the first-level, again one for attack and one for defense. The attack Forbidden Curse the Pope is about to use is the Eternal Light. The mana consumption for this curse is enormous, so the Pope requires the cooperation of four Red Robe Priests to perform it. The singular third-level Forbidden Curse, however, has not been launched for a thousand years and was left by the first Pope, God Feather. It is recorded in the church’s ancient texts that God’s Feather said unless in a life-and-death critical situation, the final Forbidden Curse should absolutely never be invoked. It requires the Pope’s life as the price.
The Pope took a deep breath and slowly raised his Divine Wand. "Heaven and earth are boundless, all laws return to one, eternal Power of God! Awaken!" The four Red Robe Priests followed the Pope and chanted simultaneously, "Eternal Power of God! Awaken!" The light orb at the tip of the Divine Wand burst into a massive golden light. Everyone around felt an incomparably powerful Divine Energy suddenly spread, surging straight into the sky. The dark clouds above the Death Mountain Range completely turned golden due to the golden light, and the Bone Dragons in the valley ahead grew restless. Dozens of Bone Dragons, over twenty or thirty meters long, unfolded their gigantic wings and took to the air. The two giant Bone Dragons in the center slowly stood up and let out a long, resonant cry. Their voices were so deep that the Bone Dragons flying in the air immediately landed back on the ground. The two Bone Dragon Kings raised their heads to glance at the golden clouds in the sky, continuously letting out one roar after another. The other Bone Dragons gathered around them. Suddenly, the largest Bone Dragon let out a fierce roar. A spine on its back emitted a ghastly white light, and under its lead, similar phenomena appeared on the backs of all the Bone Dragons. The ghastly white light gradually magnified.
Ah Dai was startled and urgently said to Yun Ying beside him, "Senior, these Bone Dragons should have already discovered us. But why are they not attacking us? Look at the white light behind them. What is it? Do they intend to directly confront Grandpa Pope’s Forbidden Curse?"
