Chapter 283: It fell again
The night was like ink, and the firelight reflected the fragmented outline of Assam City.
And just above this burning scorched earth, the towering Dragon Temple suddenly shook violently, and then slowly rose into the sky in full view of everyone.
Without any support.
There is no trace of magic either.
The huge pyramid seemed to be held up by an invisible hand, rising inch by inch.
The thick and solid granite base exudes sacred and irresistible majesty, towering over the entire city of Assam, like the soles of a giant's slowly raised feet, causing the pairs of pupils that stare at it to show frightened expressions and waver in fear.
Large pieces of stone fell from the air, causing the ankylosaurus lizards below to scurry around and dodge in all directions.
"Hahahaha!"
Looking at the increasingly distant firelight and the shocked and frightened faces in the firelight, the Holy King Izzy, standing on the top of the temple, laughed arrogantly and unbridledly, as if the entire city of Assam had been trampled under his feet.
"Ugly bug! Shameless traitor! Now you know how to be afraid!"
This is the last resort given to him by his ancestors——
When a nation-destroying disaster occurs in the Holy Armored Dragon Kingdom and everything is irreversible, you only need to sprinkle the blood of the Parr family on the seal on the top of the temple, and let his noble and pure "blood of the descendants of the Dragon God" fill the seal on the altar. The ancient seal imposed on the temple can be lifted, and the terrifying power poured into the bloodline of the Parr family by the Dragon God can be lifted, thus bringing down heaven's punishment on the enemies of the Parr family!
The firelight illuminated the crazy smile on Izzy's face. Looking at the enemies who were about to be destroyed and the groveling tribesmen, he felt extremely happy in his heart.
Although the tragic situation in Assam made him heartbroken, a mere loss was nothing.
The entire city of Assam is his palace, and the people walking here are just servants serving him and sacrifices to the Dragon God, and there are endless slaves and sacrifices available outside the holy lake!
As long as we can drive away this group of demons who set foot on the Janna continent, let alone one palace, there will be ten, a hundred... or even a thousand!
He can also build it again!
Just spend some time at most.
Izzy proudly admired the firelight soaring into the sky, and the temple rising into the sky flew higher and higher, so that the edge of the granite steps under his feet almost overlapped with the outline of the entire Assam city.
As the saying goes, it's always cold at high places. Even though he was filled with passion and rage, and was blown by the increasingly cold evening wind, he still couldn't help but shiver.
Izzy swallowed, looked into the distance, and suddenly realized that her height was actually the same as the peaks of the Sun Staircase Mountains!
Now, not only the city of Assam, but also the outline of the holy lake gradually disappeared at the edge of the granite steps, so that the sea level on the other side of the mountain came into his sight... and the city of Assam under his feet became even smaller, almost shrinking into a palm-sized point on the tranquil lake, and was even invisible from his position.
Izzy felt a little panicked.
Perhaps he shouldn't fly into the sky with this temple, but that little time doesn't seem to be enough for him to run down from the top of the pyramid.
He cleared his throat, opened his arms to face the howling evening wind, and spoke in a strong tone.
"Dragon God above... Since you have answered my prayer, please punish those demons and sinners! I think this height is enough to show your majesty!"
Stop flying!
The Dragon God did not respond.
Just blindly raise the temple dedicated to Him.
Is it a spell?
Izzy wrinkled her scales, changed her words, and said the same words again.
However, the Dragon God seemed not to hear it, and there was no change at all. He even vaguely felt that the temple was flying faster and faster!
The surrounding temperature is getting colder and colder, the flames on the candlesticks have long been extinguished, and a thin layer of frost has condensed on the bronze vessels and stone steps.
Feeling the biting cold and the biting wind, the smile hanging on the corner of Izzy's lips finally froze. And his originally arrogant vertical pupils were gradually filled with a trace of hesitation, even to the point of panic as he didn't know what to do.
Then?
The seal on the altar has been activated, but the ancestral teachings of the Parr family did not tell him what to do next, let alone how to harness this divine power that could move mountains and reclaim seas.
Just when Izzy was at a loss, a strong wind suddenly hit.
The sudden air flow instantly blew Izzy over, tumbling down the steep granite steps, knocking off two of his front teeth, and almost knocked him unconscious.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand, bumped and bumped several times, and finally grabbed the fangs under the statue of the Dragon God. He barely managed to avoid falling from the rising temple.
"No—damn it!"
Looking at the night sky hanging outside her feet, Izzy's heart was filled with panic, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
At this moment, he had no time to care about the people on the ground, and he screamed and cursed incoherently, his voice almost begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty the Dragon God, you have flown high enough!"
"Please - hurry up, stop!"
The majestic Dragon Temple soared into the sky, which was beyond everyone's expectations. What was even more unexpected was that after the palace took flight, it was gone. It was like a kite with a broken string, flying farther and farther into the dark night sky. In just a few minutes, it disappeared into the clouds, and even its shadow was invisible.
The sky seemed to have no end...
In the streets and alleys of Assam City, the remaining Ankylosaurus lizardmen all looked up blankly in the direction where the pyramid disappeared. Their bodies were stiff, their tails were taut, and they even forgot to breathe for a while.
"That is... what?"
"Did the Dragon God answer our prayers?!"
"But... what did he do by moving the temple away?!"
No one can answer.
Even the Holy Blood Warrior, who had previously far-fetched the Demon King's Army as the savior, and even the most eloquent priest in the city, didn't know how to explain this bizarre situation for a while.
That menacing look...
It seemed that it was just to scare the Demon King's army.
However, looking at the calm expression of the demon king riding on the back of the spider, it seems that even this only function has to be put into question.
Standing under a collapsed tree, an Ankylosaurus soldier couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said timidly.
"...Your Majesty, have you forgotten how to get down?"
The armored dragon soldier next to him heard this and quickly grabbed him.
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense, maybe... there is a back-up plan!"
As for what the back-up plan is, he doesn’t know.
At the moment, only the lonely evening wind can save their honor.
Some smart lizard people have begun to waver in their hearts. After finally mustering up some courage, they were overwhelmed by this inexplicable operation.
Is this really a miracle?
Or——
Is the great Dragon God really on the side of His Majesty the Holy King?
No one knows.
A few minutes ago, he almost rolled and jumped down from the stone steps in a hurry, so as not to be taken to the sky by the ascending Dragon Temple.
He didn't know why he did this.
Logically speaking, he, who was extremely pious, should regard this as a gift, but he still instinctively jumped down.
Looking at the Dragon Temple that almost disappeared into a dot in the air, his lips were trembling, his throat was tight, and he could hardly breathe.
"Your Majesty the Holy King...what are you doing?"
He could probably guess that His Majesty used the holy blood to activate the seal on the altar, but the final result was that the entire Dragon Temple flew up, which he never expected.
Why does the Parr family regard this as their last resort?
Does this make any sense?
All the ankylosaurus lizard people can’t figure it out.
Whether it is the nobles and priests in the core circle of power, or the cannon fodder and slaves who are excluded from the core of power.
Different from these bewildered lizard people, the players standing in Assam City were quite excited.
Especially those guys who just a second ago were cursing the dog plan and playing the game, and the MVP was all snatched by the NPC, now they are shouting "666!" and "Awesome!"
"Oh my God, the funds are going to explode!"
"What kind of funds, isn't this just a matter of adjusting the value in the background of the dog planning!"
"Is this something that can be done by adjusting the value?!"
"Awesome! This CG dog has it in its mouth!"
"Hey, luckily I recorded the screen, and I'll cut it into a PV when I get back to show off!"
"Are we going to have a BOSS fight?!"
"Hurry up!!!"
The players were making a lot of noise, some were discussing the next plot direction, and some were eagerly preparing for the BOSS battle.
Perhaps because their reactions were too relaxed, some lizardmen even began to wonder if this might be the work of the Demon King's army after seeing their reactions, and then cast their awe-inspiring eyes at the Demon King standing behind them.
Especially Thea and Nirma.
They from the Sand Ridge Clan also participated in this military action of revenge, and have been following closely near the Demon King's army.
Looking at the expressionless Demon King sitting on the back of the Crypt Spider, Thea's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of brilliance, while Nima's expression was as admiring as if she were a god, and she wanted to kowtow and worship.
A miracle came to them again!
Thea was only extremely grateful at the moment that Her Majesty the Queen was wise and allowed them to stand in the most correct position for the first time, instead of joining forces with the Ankylosaurus bugs.
Otherwise——
The fate of the Sand Ridge clan would probably be worse than that of the Ankylosaurus clan. After all, they do not have endless cannon fodder to waste.
At this moment, Luo Yan did not know that the lizard people from various tribes standing behind him directly attributed the pyramid that took off on his head.
Hynh To be honest, he was also very confused, and the surprise in his heart was no less than when he was at the Lord's Mansion of Black Wind Castle when he watched the arrogant Elder Zakro die under his silver-level spell.
However, as an experienced Demon King, he did not have a surprised expression written on his face, but calmly watched the temple disappear into the night sky.
Having said that...
The world divided by the "Great Barrier" should theoretically be a place similar to subspace. The walls that isolate it from the world should not only be around it, but also in the sky.
So this guy keeps flying up, will he fly into outer space, or hit the wall of air...
Luo Yan can't help but fall into thinking.
Standing next to Luo Yan, Thanos slowly swallowed his saliva and asked in a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, is this...arranged by you?"
Him He proposed to stay away from the edge for a while, but the Demon King ignored him. Then he watched the towering temple fly higher and higher until it flew up into the clouds and disappeared.
Looking at the calm expression on Luo Yan's face, although he felt absurd in his heart, there was only one explanation left -
In order to establish authority among the surrendered Ankylosaurus clan, the Demon King directly used his unpredictable divine power to wipe the spiritual totem of the Ankylosaurus clan from the ground!
This kind of thing is not impossible.
After all, in addition to extraordinary power, there is also power beyond the extraordinary in this world!
Not only "Shadow Demon General" Thanos, but also "Thorn Demon General" Brancia, looking at the temple disappearing into the night sky, her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment and shock.
She has never seen an extraordinary person who can raise a palace as majestic as a mountain to the clouds with only the power of magic!
That was tens of thousands of lizard slaves, and it took countless sun and moons to complete the spectacle... Just what happened just now, let alone Elder Zakro, I am afraid that even the mysterious vampire who intercepted Zakro in Black Wind Castle couldn't do it!
As for how she knew it was Luo Yan who did it, the reason is very simple.
Not only because of a woman’s sixth sense, but also because the calm expression on Luo Yan’s face was so familiar to her.
When Elder Zakro tried his best but was still unable to defeat, and his body was finally exposed downstairs in the Black Wind Castle Manor, the expression on the demon king's face was the same...
Hearing Thanos' inquiry, Luo Yan glanced at him and said lightly.
"No."
Thanos' expression paused, but he didn't say anything. He just lowered his head again, his expression even more respectful than before.
As expected of the Demon King——
It’s really unfathomable!
"..." Looking at the expression on Thanos's face, Luo Yan knew that this guy probably misunderstood something, but explaining it again seemed too obvious, so he didn't bother to say more.
It’s not an important thing anyway.
He now wants to know even more what is going on with the pyramid flying into the sky.
As time passed by, there was no more sound in the sky. The invisible pressure that hung over the entire city of Assam seemed to have disappeared without realizing it.
The lizardmen's necks were sore as they looked up at the sky. They did not see any new changes in the night sky.
High Priest Zell moved his head, sighed and was about to give up, when suddenly a fine grain of sand fell on his nose.
His brows twitched and his eyes narrowed slightly.
This is...?
There was a faint roar in the air, like thunder rolling across the night sky.
Zel suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, his expression suddenly changed!
I saw a meteor suddenly appearing in the sky, instantly breaking through the thick clouds and speeding towards the ground!
That is the Dragon Temple that rose into the sky earlier!
Although its structure has been completely disintegrated, the high-speed airflow and pressure difference have squeezed the huge granite bricks together.
Because the speed was so fast, the grease on the surface of the masonry was ignited, dragging out tens of thousands of entangled tail flames in the night sky. From a distance, it looked like a falling sun!
The granite pyramids that the Ankylosaurus clan had built up day after day for thousands of years returned like lightning at this moment. It was like a javelin thrown by the dragon god himself, tearing apart everything with angry flames and thunder, and smashed hard into the heart of Assam City!
"Be careful, Lord Demon King!"
Arakdo exclaimed, his forelimbs quickly touched the ground, trying to find a cover on the spot.
Sarah stood up and stood in front of Luo Yan. However, as soon as she set up the dagger, she was pulled back by Luo Yan's collar and sat down in his arms.
"Rock wall!"
A thick rock wall rises from the ground, Luo Yan's expression remained unchanged, and the wand in his hand pointed out continuously, like a conductor's baton playing a symphony.
「Skin of Steel!」
Swift Wind!
"Frost Armor!"
"..."
As a top student at Demon King Academy, he is proficient in dozens of different status magics, and basically has all the BUFFs he can get on himself.
And just when he was chanting the fifth incantation, the huge palace had already hit the center of Assam like an asteroid falling from a high orbit!
The deafening roar was like the roar of tens of thousands of giant dragons, instantly depriving everyone present of their hearing. What followed was a shock wave far more terrifying than the dragon's breath, sweeping away the entire street in an instant!
The house was destroyed!
The city wall was knocked down!
That was a natural disaster!
The baptism of three thousand rockets pales in comparison to this - whether it is damage or destruction, it is not as good as a hair of this "asteroid" that hit the ground!
The boiling smoke and air waves were like a tsunami rolling on the ground. In just a few breaths, the entire city of Assam was swallowed up. The power that had nowhere to vent even condensed upward into the shape of a mushroom cloud!
A sweeping boulder hit the rock wall summoned by Luo Yan. Both of them shattered into fragments and were swept away by the violent airflow.
Luo Yan held down the frozen Sarah with one hand, and quickly cast the spell again with his right hand holding the wand, thus blocking the terrifying aftermath!
The ground shook for a full ten seconds, and then fell into an unspeakable dead silence.
When the dust dispersed, Luo Yan let go of Sarah who was frozen due to fright, and looked around, only to see that the flames burning in the city had been extinguished.
But in contrast, the entire Assam was almost razed to the ground, with not even a single intact building left nearby...
A skull rolled to the sole of Luo Yan's feet, the soul fire in the skull was not extinguished, and the chin of the skull was still cursing.
… I knew… the dog was planning something bad… well-intentioned…»
Luo Yan: "..."
Not far away, there was another sound of gravel and rubble, and Thanos was seen pushing away the rubble and standing up with a look of embarrassment.
With that desolate look, Luo Yan couldn't guess for a moment whether this guy was really caught off guard or if he was just improvising on the spot.
"Lord Demon King! Are you okay!"
"I'm fine."
Looking at Thanos, who looked concerned, Luo Yan replied calmly, and then looked at Branthia, who was holding on to the dark vines.
She had just used rattan to reinforce the rock wall for herself, and she didn't know if she had neglected her own defense because of this. She was hit on the chest, and a large piece of snow-white was torn open in her dark black dress, but it was sewn shut with tiny thorns soon after.
"Your Majesty... next time you use such magical power, can you tell me in advance, so that I can at least be prepared." Blanchia glanced at Luo Yan with a sad face, bowed gracefully and said.
"I said it wasn't me."
No matter whether these two idiots believed it or not, Luo Yan said this, and then asked them to try their best to treat the survivors in the aftermath of the explosion, and then urged the already hard-edged Arakto under him to walk towards the center of Assam City.
The lizardmen have good physical attributes, and the Ankylosaurus are particularly outstanding in defense. Surprisingly, there are many survivors.
Many of the guys who flew out and hit the wall heavily ten meters away could still move after being shaken. It must have been too cold for a human being.
However, the further Luo Yan walked toward the center of the city, the fewer lizardmen survived. When he reached the center of the explosion, there was only one unconscious lizard lying on the messy street, and the surrounding area was full of bloody corpses mixed with rubble and tiles.
Perhaps he had some magic protective item on him, but the guy holding the bone staff tightly still had one breath left.
Because he still had something to ask later, Luo Yan threw a healing spell at him and pulled him back from the edge of death.
Looking at the Demon King riding on the back of the spider, the high priest Zel Tua opened his mouth and could not speak a word. After a moment, he trembled and knelt on the ground.
"Meet... Your Majesty the True Dragon."
Call me the Demon King."
Glancing at this spineless guy with contempt, Luo Yan patted Arakdo on the head, stopped the stupid spider who couldn't keep his mouth shut when it saw bugs, and signaled it to continue moving forward.
The center of the explosion was cut into a deep pit, like the vent of an extinct volcano.
Through the heavy fog and rugged rocks, Luo Yan finally came to the center of the palace where the palace fell. However, everything he saw made him stunned on the spot.
In the center of the impact crater, a silver-white spindle-shaped structure about ten meters long was quietly embedded in the messy granite stone.
its shell is made of some unknown metal, and its surface glows with a strange silver light in the firelight. It doesn't look like bronze, nor steel... nor any material that should be available in this era.
What’s even more strange is that after such a violent impact, there was not a single scratch left on its shell!
Hym It was especially incredible to him——
Him He couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of magic elements on it!
"...This is not like the inheritance of the Parr family."
Luo Yan muttered to himself, turned over and jumped off Arakdo's back, stepped into the slowly burning firelight, and came to the silver-white structure that was incompatible with the surroundings.
That minimalist structure is incompatible with the surrounding broken stone pillars and broken dragon reliefs. This thing is definitely not something that the Holy Armored Dragon Kingdom, which is still playing with bronzes and stones, can create!
Sarah followed closely behind Luo Yan, looking at the silver structure with fearful eyes, holding the dagger tightly in her right hand, ready to pull it out at any time.
But unlike Sarah, Luo Yan didn't have much fear in his eyes, only the shock and excitement that couldn't be described in words.
He stretched out his right hand and lightly touched the silver-white metal, and actually felt a coolness from it that was completely different from the surroundings.
"What the hell is this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a low dragon language came in front of him——
"The identity is being scanned... The verification failed..."
Luo Yan: "..."
It's okay if the verification failed.
Luo Yan didn't know for a moment whether he should be shocked by the dragon's words echoing in his ears, or be surprised by the shocking fact in front of him.
Although I don’t know what the function of this thing is, all the signs seem to indicate that——
The legendary Dragon God is actually a visitor from outside the world? !
And it seems to come from a civilization with a high level of technology!
The huge amount of information was difficult for him to digest for a while, but considering Linte Isaac's identity as a time traveler, it didn't seem so difficult to accept the sudden appearance of an alien.
Just when Luo Yan was thinking about how to open the dome in front of him, a trembling voice suddenly came from behind.
He saw the old lizard man whom he had rescued earlier, limping towards him and holding out the bone staff in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Try this."
