Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 489 The War Begins
In the wrong world, early morning of December 12th.

Orario, north, suburbs.

A cold wind howled from the north, picking up some dead branches and rolling across the empty plain.

"Mr. Tyrant, Mr. Tyrant?"

"Uh huh?! Sorry, I was just thinking about something and my mind wandered a little."

In front of the city gate of Orario, Xin Lailai suddenly came to her senses, looked at the girl with thick eyebrows and a ponytail standing next to her in samurai clothes, said something apologetic, and rubbed her temple gently.

"Mr. Tyrant, are you thinking about the Black Dragon?"

"Uh...sort of."

When Xin Lailai heard the warrior girl's question, the expression on his face froze slightly, then he smiled and spoke casually.

——He couldn’t say that he was confused by the operation that Ling Yuzi had carried out after seeing the memories shared by him, right?

"Really? It's such an important moment, why are you still thinking about these things......"

Xin Lailai recalled the photos secretly taken by the girl that flashed through his mind. He rubbed his forehead helplessly and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

"Get ready and notify everyone. If nothing unexpected happens, the Black Dragon will be here soon."

However, after all this trouble, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed...

After quickly calming down, Xin Lailai let out a long sigh, raised his head to glance at the sky that was just turning white, looked at the warrior girl standing beside him on standby, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Mr. Tyrant!!"

Belonging to the clan created by the "God of War" Kenmure, the skill level has reached the level of master LV.26, and also mastered the extremely rare gravity barrier magic "Budu Yuhun". In the original work, the warrior girl Wo Ming, who had acted with the Hestia clan where Bell Crane was many times, heard Sinlailai's instructions, and immediately put her legs together, like a well-trained soldier, and shouted, and quickly took out a small horn from the cloth bag on her waist:

“Wu——!! Wu——!!”

The loud sound of a horn echoed from the empty wilderness. Behind Xin Lailai, hundreds of adventurers who were distributed in echelons were all shocked when they heard the sound, and they quickly switched from rest mode to preparation mode.

For a moment, a solemn atmosphere quickly spread from the suburbs, to the city gate, on the city wall, under the shade of the trees... Adventurers nervously clenched their weapons, their eyes constantly wandering around.

"very nervous?"

Xin Lailai glanced at Wo Ming who was standing next to him, and asked a question as he saw layers of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Um……"

After hearing this, the warrior girl was silent for a while, then nodded. She carefully looked around and asked in a somewhat nervous tone:

"Um...Mr. Tyrant, can I ask you a question?"

"Just ask?"

"Um, why... did you choose me as your adjutant? Instead of Lord Bell Crany?"

"Your gravity magic is more compatible with my combat habits, and your overall command ability is better than Bell Crany."

"Is that so? I thought it was like the rumors said, that you chose me as your adjutant because you didn't like Lord Bell..."

"Although I am not very good at getting along with White Rabbit, it is not to this extent. White Rabbit has a more important role in this war, so it is not suitable for a job that requires extra distraction."

Xin Lailai glanced at the man beside her and answered calmly. The warrior girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. At the same time, she looked at the surrounding scenery. Looking at the plain where there was no other sound except the whistling of the cold wind, she couldn't help swallowing twice, and her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

Even though there was chatting to relieve the emotions, as soon as the reality of the black dragon was about to attack returned, the tension of not knowing where the black dragon would come from suddenly rushed back to the heart.

——The black dragon’s landing location is unpredictable.

These were the words that Xin Lailai had made clear to the adventurers when they were preparing to join the war against the black dragon.

Of course, this was not a deliberate embarrassment on Xin Lailai's part, but he, Yamu and the Death Keeper really could not predict where the black dragon would land.

You have to know that this is an ultra-long-distance transmission spanning a full 23 kilometers. It is a miracle that the black dragon could be transmitted over. In this case, it is naturally impossible for them to pursue things like errors and accuracy too much.

Maybe it was from the south, maybe from the north, or maybe it was directly above their heads, or even inside Orario...

These are all uncertain things, so the only thing Xin Lailai can do is to make the situation clear and let the adventurers of Orario cooperate with her to prepare in advance.

- For example, he could transfer ordinary people and level 1 adventurers in the city to a safe area in the dungeon. He and the Death Keeper could each lead a team of people to guard the north and south directions to avoid tactical blind spots.

In front of the city gate, Xin Lailai opened up his spiritual field and concentrated on sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding space.

One minute...two minutes...three minutes...

The biting cold wind subsided imperceptibly, and a soundless silence spread across the wilderness. Under the pale sky, the shadow of the earth slowly disappeared as time passed. When the boundary between the shadow and the sunlight spread to the moment under Xin Lailai's feet -

Om-! !

An extremely violent spatial fluctuation instantly erupted from Xin Lailai's perception. Without any hesitation, Xin Lailai rushed forward and shouted:

“East——!!”

Almost at the moment when the words came out, a dazzling golden lightning descended from the eastern part of the plain without any warning. Suddenly, a huge space crack one kilometer wide appeared in the eastern sky. An incomparably huge body flew out of the crack and smashed to the ground with a bang.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire plain seemed to tremble violently, and the land in the eastern part of the plain was like a waterfall, being blown up by the huge impact force, and turned into waves of earth, beating down in all directions.

For a moment, smoke and dust filled the air, and the rolling dust rose from the ground like a tsunami, rolling in all directions, and then...

"Roar--!!!"

An infuriating roar exploded from the dust haze, transforming into a shock wave visible to the naked eye, instantly dispersing all the surrounding dust haze, revealing a figure in the dust haze:

The pitch-black scales were like long-polished meteorite, reflecting a metallic texture in the sunlight. The undulating back was like mountains, towering above the earth. The claws, which were dozens of meters long, slowly dragged across the ground, leaving behind gullies like abysses.

And when it raised its head from the nearly 100-meter-deep pit and spread its nearly 1,000-meter-long wings behind it, the adventurers' breathing froze.

"Roar--!!" The snake-like neck was raised high and roared towards the sky. The terrifying height of nearly 2 meters made the opponent's head give people the illusion that it was level with the sky. And when it retracted its head and looked down, the oppressive feeling it gave people instantly reached an extreme, and even made many LV. adventurers fall directly to the ground with a look of utmost fear.

fear.

Even though all kinds of psychological preparations had been made before the war.

But when this terrifying beast that could reach the same level as the mountains just by raising its head and could stir up a storm just by spreading its wings actually stood before them, many adventurers realized that they had overestimated their courage.

"This is... the Black Dragon Nidhogg."

On the plain, Bell Crany looked up at the huge monster in the east. Looking at its huge body like a mountain, his breathing couldn't help but freeze.

——Were the adventurers from Zeus and Hera’s clan fighting monsters like this?
——No, according to Mr. Tyrant, the black dragon that was with Zeus and Hera's family was more than a hundred times stronger than the black dragon they are facing now!
Trembling, fear, suffocation.

Besides this,...

——A strong feeling of excitement that cannot be described in words.

"Do it!!"

The next second, a loud shout that sounded directly in people's minds exploded from Bell's head, causing Bell to suddenly come back to his senses. He looked forward and found that the black-haired young man had taken the lead and rushed to the front of the black dragon without knowing when.

'Odds! '

[Tip: Already entered [Elf Assimilation] state]

A white shadow instantly appeared on the plain. Xin Lailai, who was the first to take action, looked up at the black dragon that was approaching and seemed to cover the entire sky. Without any hesitation, he stopped and slammed his hand heavily on the ground. A yellowish-brown light instantly spread out and extended to the feet of the black dragon.

Rock creation magic: Rock rain!

In an instant, rock spears more than ten meters long rushed out from the ground that was smashed to pieces by the black dragon, like pouring rain, stabbing upwards towards the black dragon's neck and lower abdomen, and then...

Puff puff puff puff——!!

Thousands of earth flowers exploded from the black dragon's body. It can be seen that the magic power integrated into the rock spears summoned by Xin Lailai suddenly disintegrated on their own the moment they approached the black dragon's body, turning thousands of rock spears into earth and rocks with only impact force left, which smashed into the black dragon without causing any damage.

However, Xin Lailai's eyes did not show any surprise. Instead, she looked as if she had expected it. She stepped decisively with her right foot, and the black scales on her back spread out, and she quickly retreated.

He had long known that the black dragon was immune to magic, and the rain of rock spikes he had just used was just a feint to test the black dragon's ability to counter magic.

The real purpose was just to verify whether the black dragon's resistance to magic was as he thought, and to detect the black dragon's panel status:
