Chapter 256: 256

Chapter 256 I“m Very Curious

while the two gigantic dragons were brutalizing each other, the earth shook each time they rolled on the ground and collided .

although dragons were flying creatures, they were good fighters on the ground too .

they had thick bodies, hard scales, sharp teeth, and dragon spells .

many people thought that they would be victorious if they forced a dragon to land, but in fact, a dragon was worse when it was on the ground .

when a dragon was in the sky, it was only agile and could launch remote attacks, which were not nearly as destructive as they were on the ground .

this was exactly the case . when the two dragons bit each other, a shower of blood rained down .

in the meantime, they were also spurting dragon’s breath at each other .

flames and acids were splashing everywhere . the flowers and grass were set ablaze and then corroded until they were almost fully gone .

margret was a real dragon, and the emerald dragon was only transformed from a druid . logically, margret should be stronger than the emerald dragon .

but the problem was that margret was still too young . she was no more than a hundred years old; in terms of dragon strength, she was only a girl and at level six .

the druid, on the other hand, was at level eleven . he had much more battle experience and special skills at his disposal .

even though the scales of the emerald dragon had been burnt up by roland, margret was still on the losing end in a close-range battle with the emerald dragon .

that was why roland asked schuck to help her .

“i was only scared that you would accuse me of abandoning a friend for a girl . ”

schuck rolled his eyes . he turned around, only to see margret be hit by another stream of acid . most of the scales on her front had dropped, and under the sprinkle of acid, her flesh was immediately blackened, smoke rising up .

schuck was immediately infuriated . he cast light rapid healing on margret and shouted, “margret, step back!”

though she was furious, margret heard him and flapped her wings, flying back a dozen meters and raising a strong wind .

in the wind, schuck raised his swords and shouted, “decree: falling sun!”

dazzling light appeared above the green dragon, and a gold ball of light descended with an extremely high temperature .

the green dragon raised his head at the sun in vigilance .

then, surrounded by golden streaks of light, the emerald dragon transformed into a strong, naked male elf in no more than a second .

then, schuck was stunned .

his decree lost its target, which resulted in the failure of spellcasting and caused a magic recoil .

schuck grunted, pale, and the golden ball of light in the sky disappeared after it broke into countless spots .

“it lost the target?”

schuck found it hard to believe .

actually, to the knowledge of the magic world, the different forms of a druid would be considered as different lives .

essentially speaking, both a black leopard and an emerald dragon was the elven druid .

but from the perspective of magic, the black leopard, the emerald dragon, and the elven druid were three kinds of targets or lives .

the naked male elf grinned at schuck hideously and ran at him . while he was running, he turned into a black leopard .

after another few steps, the black leopard was gone .

while stepping back, schuck cast two defensive spells on himself .

the moment he finished, the black leopard appeared two meters before schuck and pranced at him .

his sharp claws gleamed with cold light as they snatched at schuck’s head .

schuck raised his sword to block . after a clang, schuck was forced back, and the black leopard flipped back with the counterforce and landed .

the moment he landed, the black leopard jumped back again, and a pillar of fire hit where he had just been standing .

avoiding the fire attack, the black leopard looked back in disdain at margret, who was spurting out fire .

at this point, schuck checked his giant sword, only to see three small holes in it . they could’ve only been caused by the black leopard .

he couldn’t help but gasp at the sharpness of the black leopard’s claws .

his sword was forged with the finest steel . more importantly, it was imbued with the power of light . yet, the black leopard’s claws had left three holes in it .

what were the black leopard’s claws made of exactly?

actually, as a special class of the elves, the druids had their unusual qualities .

morph was the central skill for the druids .

the druids could assume the form of multiple animals to deal with different environments .

the emerald dragon was the druids’ strongest form with average abilities .

this form was excellent in terms of survival, destruction, mobility, etc . there were no shortcomings .

the black leopard form, on the other hand, was the most destructive of all the druids’ forms .

after turning into a black leopard, the druids would acquire natural stealth, and the hardness of their claws would increase with their level .

the black leopard claws of a level-five druid would be considered a penetrative weapon, and those of a level-ten druid would be considered a mithril weapon .

mithril was a hard metal and a good suppressor of magic . if the attack was powerful enough, a weapon made of mithril could easily tear a magic shield apart .

that was why three holes were punctured in schuck’s giant sword .

the black leopard entered stealth mode again . immediately, flames hit somewhere nearby and forced him to reveal himself .

but the black leopard was extremely fast . like black lightning, it jumped elsewhere and entered stealth mode again . this time, even margret failed to track it .

the black leopard’s stealth ability could hardly deceive the eyes of a dragon that could see through disguises . it must be somewhere that margret could not see .

margret flapped her wings and shouted, “schuck, come here!”

since the enemy had advantages on the ground, they should fly into the sky .

that was margret’s simple thought .

but schuck shook his head .

on roland’s end, after blocking another dozen arrows, suel was finally hit on the forehead, before multiple arrows shot his throat and his heart . he fell backward .

even though he specialized in blocking arrows, he could not guarantee he’d block all arrows . it was still a matter of intensity .

just now, roland threw out another three fireballs, but they were all blown up by the enemy .

besides, roland had no time to accumulate power . as long as he dared to accumulate his magic power to cast a spell, he would be faced with a lot of tricky arrows, and he had to summon shield-wielding magic puppets to protect himself .

at this point, roland finally understood why most mages required the protection of warriors .

it was true that chances were few for them to cast a spell when a strong archer was onto them .

at this point, roland, the hunter, schuck, and margret were the only ones left on the battlefield .

the black leopard suddenly appeared ten meters ahead of schuck . with bloodshot eyes, he suddenly spoke in the human tongue . “you are a saint samurai . you’re supposed to be a symbol of justice and order . why did you ambush us?”

the other elves stopped attacking, although they still aimed their long bows at roland and schuck .

schuck sneered . “you slaughtered so many humans in two villages and one town without even sparing the babies, and you’re asking me why i ambushed you?”

after a brief silence, the black leopard asked, “how did you know that?”

“nothing can be kept a secret forever . ”

“it doesn’t matter how you learned it . we’ve done nothing wrong . the human beings who imprison and enslave elves deserve death . ”

schuck shouted angrily, “you could’ve killed the criminals and spared the innocents . why did you kill the infants and the children? do you have any morals?”

“some of my people were tortured to death by them . as far as i know, the folk in the villages and the town all enjoyed the show excitedly . when death drew near, none of them were innocent . ” the black leopard looked at schuck and roland and then said, “i don’t want to discuss philosophy with you . it’s boring . all i want to say is that your men are mostly dead . if you kill the other two human beings, i will let you and the red dragon go . ”

hearing that, roland grinned and pinged schuck in the guild system .

roland: “buy us some time until hawk and the rest of them resurrect and come back . ”

schuck: “got it . ”

after replying to roland, schuck looked at the black leopard and smiled . “you’re willing to let us go?”

“although i’m not happy to admit it, if a saint samurai and a dragon knight dies in my home, the church of light would definitely seek retaliation on the elves . ” the black leopard said casually, “thank your defensive goddess, unwise saint samurai . ”

the black leopard’s voice was low and full of regret and helplessness .

“they say that the elves are innocent, but you’re rather sordid in my opinion . ” schuck snorted and smiled . “the saint samurai have to abide by the virtues of knighthood; we cannot abandon our comrades . if i let you kill my friends, i will definitely be forsaken by the goddess and corrupted into a dark knight, and you won’t let me go after i turn into a dark knight . so, all of us will die in the end anyway . ”

the black leopard stepped back . gazing at schuck, he said in vague surprise, “you’re smarter than i thought, human . ”

actually, it was exactly the druid’s plan, but it did not occur to him that schuck would see through him so easily .

“you could’ve turned into a dark knight yourself and saved each other’s time . ” the leopard walked along gracefully and continued, “you’re going to die anyway . why don’t you tell me the truth before you die? i’m very curious about who told you of the slaughters . ”
