The Dragon with Shadowy Wings had just torn apart a flame giant bird and leapt forward, sinking its teeth into the neck of a Geo-Scorpid Lion. The Geo-Scorpid Lion, with wings on its back and covered entirely in black scales, was already a very powerful creature among seventh-tier flying mounts. Yet before the overwhelming majesty of the Dragon with Shadowy Wings, it was no more than an ant.
The Geo-Scorpid Lion let out a mournful cry as it was bitten, then used its tail to stab fiercely into the Dragon with Shadowy Wings.
A wound appeared on the back of the Dragon with Shadowy Wings. Although the Geo-Scorpid Lion’s attack had caused some damage, it was negligible.
There was a gap of two tiers between seventh and ninth. If Angel Empire had gathered more than ten seventh-tier flying mounts to surround and attack the Dragon with Shadowy Wings, they might have had a chance to kill it. But with only one or two mounts, they stood no chance at all. The Dragon with Shadowy Wings gripped the Geo-Scorpid Lion’s body with its massive claws. The two rolled midair, then the Dragon suddenly tore open the Geo-Scorpid Lion with its enormous maw. The Geo-Scorpid Lion’s head was ripped clean off, a jet of blood spraying into the air, and the Dragon swallowed the head whole.
Around them, Tian Xie and others from Angel Empire watched in horror. Their five seventh-tier flying mounts tried desperately to flee, but were intercepted by Xie Yao and others, and a fierce melee broke out.
The Brave Tribe had a total of eighteen sixth-tier, nine seventh-tier, one eighth-tier, and one ninth-tier flying mount on site—how could they possibly let their enemies escape so easily?
Two more screams rang out as two more seventh-tier flying mounts from Angel Empire were surrounded and killed.
“Seventh-tier cores, not one must be left behind!” Cui Can Dao Guang shouted in the party chat. Seventh-tier cores would greatly benefit their flying mounts, so naturally they had to be seized!
The Geo-Scorpid Lion’s core had been swallowed along with its head by the Dragon with Shadowy Wings. The cores of the other three fallen seventh-tier flying mounts were taken by Sun and others.
Standing atop the flame giant bird, Tian Xie watched the scene unfold, both shocked and furious. It seemed today they might be doomed to defeat. The ninth-tier Dragon with Shadowy Wings was indeed an invincible force. Its appearance had thrown Angel Empire’s entire aerial force into a passive position, leaving them with no way to counter it anymore.
“Angel Boss, we’re surrounded! The Mad Bandit Nie Yan’s ninth-tier Shadowwing Dragon is too powerful—we’re no match for it!” Tian Xie yelled in the team chat.
Just as Tian Xie was nearly losing hope, around five or six hundred flying mounts from Angel Empire roared toward them. A dark mass filled the sky, and leading the charge was a silver-white dragon—none other than Angyilong.
Angyilong suddenly noticed that four of their seventh-tier flying mounts had already been killed, and three more belonging to Tian Xie and others were in grave danger. His eyes flared with rage, nearly going mad.
“Crazy Rogue Nieyan, don’t get too cocky!” he roared. “Attack!”
“Attack!” The five or six hundred members of Angel Empire let out a deafening battle cry.
Back at Nieyan’s side, Sun and others anxiously turned to him. “Boss Nieyan, Angel Empire’s aerial force is charging. We’re too few in number—we might not be able to hold them off. Should we call for reinforcements?”
“Boss Nieyan, the suicide Wind Drakes made by the Brave Tribe at Okolen City’s armory are on their way. Should we retreat temporarily to avoid their initial assault?” Ge Da Qishi asked. He had seen how powerful those suicide Wind Drakes were. The Brave Tribe had invested a huge amount of resources to create them.
The main forces of the Brave Tribe were engaged in fierce battle, unable to send many reinforcements. With just their small group, how could they possibly withstand five or six hundred flying mounts? Although Nieyan’s ninth-tier Dragon with Shadowy Wings was powerful, how many could it really kill? If they were surrounded and eliminated, even a single ninth-tier Dragon with Shadowy Wings wouldn’t count as a true victory.
“No need,” Nieyan smiled slightly, his eyes narrowing as a flash of brilliance shot through them. “Today, let’s show them our strength. Let’s hit them with something fierce!”
Seeing Nieyan so confident, the others were momentarily stunned. Could it be that Nieyan had prepared another trick besides the suicide Wind Drakes?
As Angel Empire’s aerial force descended like a storm cloud, the others’ expressions changed. If they didn’t retreat soon, they would be surrounded. No one could remain calm in such a situation.
Just then, Nieyan’s left shoulder lit up as Guardian Angel Kalenna slowly floated into the air. She raised her staff and began chanting a spell, a holy sound gradually spreading around them.
Was Guardian Angel Kalenna using a skill? The others turned their gazes to Kalenna on Nieyan’s shoulder. They noticed something unusual—compared to before, she had changed. She now had four wings behind her back, her entire body was pure white, and she wore silver-white armor, exuding sacred majesty.
A Four-Winged Battle Angel!
Kalenna completed her chant with two sets of syllables. Then, a massive beam of light descended from the heavens, enveloping all of them.
Divine Level 9 Forbidden Art—Great Blessing!
Surging energy surged into the bodies of their flying mounts.
“What’s going on?”
“I feel my blue dragon absorbing energy like crazy.”
“Such powerful energy!”
Nieyan glanced at the Dragon with Shadowy Wings beneath him. The dragon was absorbing the energy wildly, its body growing larger. This energy was different from light magic—it was neutral blessing energy that the Dragon with Shadowy Wings could absorb. It surged with powerful life energy.
The Dragon with Shadowy Wings let out a mighty roar, its cry echoing across the sky. It grew enormous, its presence now overwhelming.
Seeing the sudden change in Nieyan’s group, Angyilong’s heart jolted.
“What’s happening?”
“I don’t know, but that blessing force is incredibly strong!”
“Look at that Dragon with Shadowy Wings! Goodness, it’s huge!”
The players from Angel Empire focused their gazes on the Dragon with Shadowy Wings, gasping in shock. After receiving the Great Blessing, the Dragon had tripled in size, towering twenty to thirty yards high, its wingspan stretching forty to fifty yards. It was far more massive and powerful than any boss they had ever seen. As for the other flying mounts, they had also grown two to three times larger than before—bigger even than the unenhanced Dragon with Shadowy Wings.
Seeing these giant flying mounts, everyone’s hearts pounded. Could they even stand a chance against such a force? Could each of these mounts be as strong as the ninth-tier Dragon with Shadowy Wings?
They felt fear creeping in. If not for their strict discipline and rigorous training, many of them might have fled the battlefield.
Tian Xie and the other two seventh-tier flying mounts were quickly slain by Nieyan, Xie Yao, and others with almost no resistance, their cores seized.
Angyilong’s eyes burned red as he shouted in the group chat, “All my brothers, today I, Angyilong, will fight the Brave Tribe to the bitter end. No retreat, no mercy! Anyone who flees or holds back will answer to me, Angyilong! Hold on until the end—victory will be ours! Our airships are almost here! Attack!”
Under Angyilong’s command, the flying mounts still charged forward without retreating, like a flood rushing toward the Brave Tribe.
“Triple the stats! What a powerful blessing skill!” Cui Can Dao Guang exclaimed. Both their mounts and themselves had seen a threefold increase in attributes.
“Is this the reward from defeating the Fallen Angel Brost?” Shui Se Yan Tou asked in confusion. He remembered that before defeating the Fallen Angel Brost, Nieyan couldn’t command Guardian Angel Kalenna.
“Yeah,” Nieyan nodded. “I can issue commands to Guardian Angel Kalenna, allowing her to use three skills: Sword of Judgment for attack, Great Blessing for buffs, and Great Holy Heal for full-group healing. However, their cooldowns are quite long—Sword of Judgment takes five natural days, Great Blessing two days, and Great Holy Heal five hours.”
“Sword of Judgment? Like the one released by the three Archmages Yaoyao and the others?” Cui Can Dao Guang looked at Nieyan in disbelief.
Nieyan shook his head. “I haven’t used that skill yet. I don’t know if it’s the same one.”
“If it is, that’d be awesome,” Cui Can Dao Guang said.
“It probably is. Too bad it has a five-day cooldown. Otherwise, we could demonstrate it on Angel Empire,” Shui Se Yan Tou said. He didn’t know how powerful this Sword of Judgment was, but at the very least, it must be an extremely strong attack skill. Skills from Guardian Angel Kalenna were never ordinary. This skill shouldn’t be used recklessly unless absolutely necessary, given its long five-day cooldown.
They looked ahead as Angel Empire’s aerial force approached rapidly.
“Fools who don’t know death. Brothers, Angel Empire is here. Let’s teach these guys a lesson!” Nieyan said with a relaxed smile. The mighty Dragon with Shadowy Wings gave him immense confidence.
“Kill them until not a single piece of armor remains!” The Brave Tribe players were filled with high morale.
Leading the charge, the Dragon with Shadowy Wings rushed toward Angel Empire’s aerial force.
With a thunderous crash, the two forces collided like meteors smashing into each other.
Six sixth-tier flying mounts from Angel Empire collided with the high-speed Dragon with Shadowy Wings. Screams and bone-snapping sounds filled the air. The Dragon’s body was like iron plating, hard and unyielding. Any mount that collided with it had its bones shattered into pieces, left barely alive as they plummeted from the sky.
What a domineering dragon with shadowy wings!
Standing atop the Silverwing Dragon, Angyilong felt a chill run down his spine. He had thought that with his newly acquired seventh-tier Silverwing Dragon and so many seventh-tier mounts, he would have no disadvantage in aerial combat. But the appearance of the ninth-tier Dragon with Shadowy Wings had completely shattered his plans.
Even surrounded by over a hundred sixth-tier flying mounts, the Dragon with Shadowy Wings remained ferocious, killing twelve sixth-tier mounts in succession.
Seeing Nieyan’s bravery, the Brave Tribe’s side was even more inspired. With the Dragon with Shadowy Wings, they were unstoppable!
