Chapter 175 Struggle In Vain
Everyone present at this unexpected event froze at what they saw before their eyes.
The figure of an enormous Dragon with flaming shoulders was violently beating two creatures.
Dragon-Erend slammed his claws at Laston and Baldeem who could only lie on the white paving that had been destroyed.
*DUMMM!!!*
*DUMMM!!!*
*DUMMM!!!*
...
The sound when the Dragon\'s punch landed on Laston and Baldeem was terrifying.
Coupled with the ongoing earthquake-like vibrations, it became a sight that made them all unable to take their eyes off it.
Realizing that it was their King that was under the Dragon\'s fist, the Daemons of Calamity rushed to attack. So did the Ogres who had come here with them.
The Ogres and Daemons hadn\'t teamed up before. They couldn\'t even be considered friendly to each other.
They were just two enemies of Elf kind who were foreign to each other.
But when Laston got them together and explained everything, the Ogres and Daemons are willing to unite for their common goal. That is destroying the Elves.
In the past, breaking through the Magic Shield and protecting the palace was extremely difficult, if not impossible for them.
However, now they can get right into it.
It would be put to good use by the Daemons of Calamity and Ogres. They weren\'t going to waste a rare opportunity here.
Seeing the army of Daemons and Ogres approaching, Dragon-Erend turned his head and immediately breathed out his fiery breath.
*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!!!*
The flames from his mouth swept over them.
Several of the creatures were scorched by flames and groaning in agony until they finally fell silent. Letting the fire devouring their bodies to ashes.
But some of the others kept going with the same passion and ferocity. Some of them can use a little Magic protection, or have Magic amulets that protect them.
While he was being distracted, Dragon-Erend didn\'t realize that Laston had slipped from under his grip and sent a ball of black fire in his face.
The black fireball burned Erend\'s face. Although he felt no pain, his vision was blocked.
"HRRAAAAHHH!"
Baldeem shouted while pushing off the Dragon-Erend\'s hand that was holding him.
Then he spread his arms to the sides. The ax that had been thrown away flew back into his hand.
After that, Baldeem jumped into Dragon-Erend\'s hand and climbed up.
He ignored all the pain from the wounds all over his body.
Baldeem\'s body was covered in stabs and slashes wounds.
Several of his bones and internal organs had also been broken and damaged.
But Baldeem ignored all that even though blood was pouring from his mouth.
The only thing on his mind right now was how to kill this Dragon.
Overwhelmed by rage and revenge, Baldeem even ignored all logic that said that with that difference in size and power, Baldeem couldn\'t beat him.
Meanwhile, Laston flew back toward Dragon-Erend\'s head.
His body was filled with a blackish aura that was getting thicker and thicker.
He channeled more Magic energy into his two daggers so they formed swords again.
Dragon-Erend spouted fire from his mouth so the black flames disappeared. The heat of the black flames was defeated by the Dragon-Erend\'s flames.
When his sight had returned, Dragon-Erend\'s eyes were greeted by a red ax aimed at his eyes.
On reflex, Dragon-Erend immediately closed his eyes.
The ax hit his eye and temple and caused a small wound.
Yet, the ax Baldeem swung with all his might only caused a very small crack on the scale.
Dragon-Erend felt like his eyelids and temples were being bitten by ants. The pain was not enough to affect him.
After landing that strike, Baldeem\'s ax was sent flying with a loud clank.
Dragon-Erend opened his jaw to reveal his large teeth and bite Baldeem.
"Ughhh..."
However, Baldeem was still able to struggle in Dragon-Erend\'s mouth to hold his teeth to not split his body in two.
He used his big ax to block the rows of teeth.
While Baldeem struggled inside the Dragon-Erend\'s mouth, Laston climbed higher and higher until he finally arrived near his neck.
Laston didn\'t care even if he saw Baldeem\'s state, he just swung his black energy sword toward Dragon-Erend\'s neck.
*DANGGG!*
Laston winced angrily while grinding his teeth seeing that his energy sword was unable to penetrate the hard scale.
After that, Laston saw the Dragon\'s eyes moving to look at him.
A moment later Dragon-Erend\'s hand came from behind Laston and then his claws opened.
*CRAAAT!*
Dragon-Erend\'s claws pierced Laston\'s body.
Laston spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth and dropped his energy sword.
After that, Dragon-Erend threw him through several buildings before finally stopping and falling helplessly.
Laston fell on his back, staring at the gray clouds that issued flashes of thunder with various colors.
\'Shit, am I going to die here?\'
Laston remembered everything he had done. If he died here, all of it would just be for nothing.
All the sacrifices he had made would be meaningless.
\'No! I\'m not going to die now!\'
Laston steeled his heart. He used his remaining Magic energy to heal his wound.
At least until he was released in a dying state.
The black Magic aura around his body started to thin.
Everything was absorbed into his body and he used it to heal the wounds caused by Dragon-Erend\'s claws.
Laston was thrown to the corner of the palace and very close to the protective wall.
So now at least he was in a quiet place. No one should be coming here for a while.
He hoped so.
Laston began to concentrate on healing himself.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Baldeem was still trying to survive in Dragon-Erend\'s mouth.
\'This idiot...\'
Dragon-Erend thought that what the Daemon was doing was very stupid.
He might have been able to injure him with that red ax before, but things were different now.
Once the [Dragon Scale] had reached Level 5, the ax was no longer a match for it.
Even so, he still wanted to attack him.
Dragon-Erend thought that he might have been overcome by such blind rage that he couldn\'t think straight even after seeing his attacks being useless moments before.
While Baldeem was grinding his teeth trying to push them away, he suddenly felt a hot feeling touch his skin.
Baldeem turned his head to where the heat was coming from - which is the Dragon-Erend\'s throat.
*ZWOOOSSSHHH!*
