Chapter 712: Chapter 194: Rapid Advance_3
Xuan Yue approached Ah Dai and asked, "How is it? Are those rotten dragons easy to deal with?"
Ah Dai shook his head and said, "Not easy at all. The defensive power of these rotten dragons is far beyond my expectations. Even with the seventh transformation of my Living Qi, I couldn’t completely destroy a rotten dragon with a single punch."
A glint of surprise flashed in the Pope’s eyes, he frowned and said, "That difficult, huh? These rotten dragons are highly toxic. If we launch a full-scale assault, we risk heavy casualties. It seems we have no choice but to deploy large-scale attack magic. Let’s try Divine Judgment. Yue Yue, you stay out of this. Xuan Ye, Yu Jian, Mang Siu, you three lead two thousand priests and move immediately."
"Yes, Your Holiness." The Divine Judgment deployed by two thousand priests working with the three red robe priests possessed the strength of a Forbidden Curse. The massive Divine Judgment targeted the thousand-plus rotten dragons, concentrating its attack power. Huge golden lightning bolts constantly struck the enormous bodies of the dragons, which couldn’t dodge. With successive peals of thunder, the first wave of attack successfully eradicated more than three hundred Rotten Dragons. However, the battle did not go as smoothly as anticipated. All of the Rotten Dragons seemed to have gone berserk, their eyes turning bright red, as they charged towards the people on the slope. Rotten dragons, being creatures of some intellect, when feeling threatened, cared little about the threat posed by the Undead Handbook and just wanted to eliminate everyone who ventured near their territory.
Seeing the rotten dragons rushing at a high speed towards their territory boundary, the Pope couldn’t help but frown. Although Divine Judgment was extraordinarily powerful, there was a certain interval between each lightning strike. The defensive power of the rotten dragons was incomparable to that of zombies, and under the joint attack of two thousand priests and the three red robe priests, the first attack only managed to kill three hundred dragons. Judging by the distance and speed, these rotten dragons could bear only one more attack before they would reach everyone. To ensure safety, the Pope turned to Chief Judge Xuan Yuan, "Chief Judge, lead all the Judges to defend with full force, don’t let the rotten dragons get to our priests. Ah Dai, you go too." Ah Dai and Xuan Yuan exchanged glances, immediately led thousands of judges and rushed up, standing in front of the priests.
By this time, Divine Judgment had already launched the second round of attack, three rows of densely packed lightning bolts burst on the charging rotten dragons. The dazzling golden light left everyone a bit dazzled. The Pope calmly said, "Stop Divine Judgment. All priests immediately cast support magic on the Judges, then use single-target attack magic on the rotten dragons."
Under the Pope’s command, the golden clouds in the sky dispersed, circles of sacred light enveloped the Judges. Ah Dai felt a slight jolt in his body as though he had gained additional strength. There was a faint golden light around his body. However, due to the large gap in their skills, the support magic didn’t have much effect on him, as the rotten dragons’ poison couldn’t harm him anyway. The rotten dragons were about to reach everyone. Including Chief Judge Xuan Yuan, the judges were somewhat tense. The rotten dragons, three to four meters high, created a thunderous sound as they ran. After losing six hundred of their kin, these rotten dragons had gone mad. The remaining dragons, less than a thousand in number, had blood-red eyes and their breath spewed red fog.
Ah Dai stood at the forefront of the team, he exchanged a glance with Xuan Yuan and floated into the air. His eyes glittered, the golden Sumeru Sword gradually appeared, exuding an overpowering and irresistible aura. Ah Dai’s body seemed as tall as a mountain. Behind him, Xuan Yuan and the Judges couldn’t help feeling a sense of subservience, admiration naturally arose. Ah Dai slowly squinted his eyes, raised the Sumeru Sword high with both hands, the charging rotten dragons seemed to feel the threat from the Sumeru Sword, slowing their pace slightly. But they were already seeing red and wouldn’t retreat. The leading rotten dragon stomped forcefully and lunged at Ah Dai, spewing a breath of red mist saturated with poison towards Ah Dai. Ah Dai showed no intent of retreating, he held the Sumeru Sword with both hands and swung it forward in a graceful arc in mid-air. The tangible golden light flashed and disappeared. The red mist, despite its high stickiness, melted away under the powerful attack of the Sumeru Sword. The strong energy of the golden light split the rotten dragon’s skull without even a pause, the overwhelming energy shattered its body into dust and debris.
After killing a rotten dragon, Ah Dai didn’t feel any excitement. When he shattered the rotten dragon with the energy of Sumeru Sword, he clearly felt the strong defensive power of the rotten dragon. Even with his skill level, it was impossible to eliminate them in large numbers in a short period of time. But he didn’t have the time to hesitate as a horde of rotten dragons had already rushed up. One after another, golden lights shot from behind Ah Dai hitting the group of rotten dragons. These sacred attacks slowed down the rotten dragons’ charge slightly, these were individual attacks from the thousands of priests from the Holy Church. Their Holy Magic, while powerful under normal circumstances, was not very effective on the rotten dragons. The holy light magic attacks were far less effective than the Divine Judgment, being considerably weakened by the red breath of the rotten dragons. Some strong attacks could break the dragon’s bones and tendons, but not end their relentless charge.
