The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 70's

Over ten Dragonhawks, each larger than a Griffon, flew after Linley. Through the Coiling Dragon's ring, Linley immediately took out his mageforce to make himself ascend even faster, while at the same time starting to mutter the Earthguard's spell words.

"Swaying sounds!"

Only the wind could be heard. Linley had long left the Green Tattooed Python behind, but the Dragonhawks were flying at an incredible speed, and were getting closer and closer to Linley. Even after Linley flew out of the canyon, the ten Dragonhawks continued to chase after Linley, following him outside.

Walking at his maximum speed, Linley walked through the forest as fast as he could, but no matter how fast his legs were, how could he compare to the speed of the Winged Dragonhawks?

"Screeeech!" The Dragonhawks let out a piercing scream.

The wingspan of the Dragonhawks, with its maximum length, was over twenty meters. These ten-plus Dragonhawks graced the sky as they all flew straight at Linley. Linley felt as if the entire world was getting darker. As the Dragonhawks descended on Linley, they all opened their beaks and spouted wisps of fire towards him, immediately turning the surrounding trees into flames.

Fortunately, the Earthguard armor that Linley summoned continued to protect him, covering his entire body.

“Crescue, crackle. "The fire roared and blazed against the Earthguard's protective armor. The earth-colored elemental essence swirled all about Linley.

Among the dragon-type creatures, Dragonhawks and Landwyrms were the weakest of their relatives, but even they, the weakest of the dragon-type beasts, were magical beasts of the sixth rank. Moreover, Landwyrms and Dragonhawks were pack-type beasts. Faced with the air strikes of over ten magical beasts of the sixth rank, even a warrior of the seventh rank would escape.

The Dragonhawks charged forward, descending on Linley ….

"Mash!" A Dragonhawk's sharp claw struck Linley's Earthguard armor a great punch. The Earthguard armour shook visibly, and specks of golden light began to flicker gently on it.

"I can't take the attack straight away!"

The claw attack scared Linley. With the highest speed he could muster, he rushed deeper into the forest, charging into the most dense, hardest-to-cross area. Jumping, jumping, crawling .. Linley went all out in his attempt to escape. But those Dragonhawks kept attacking Linley's head with their demon claws.

"Hisss!"

Bebe took out his own fierce screeches, and then he got up with his hind legs, suddenly changing his size from twenty centimeters to half a meter tall. But compared to the Dragonhawks, with a wingspan of 20 meters, Bebe was still only a tiny speck.

"Swish!" Bebe jumped off Linley's shoulder, turning into a black blur as he shot straight towards the nearby attacking Dragonhawk.

A terrifying sound from bone fragments could suddenly be heard, along with the agonizing cry of Dragonhawk. The Dragonhawk instantly fell from the sky, but before that happened, Bebe used it as a launchpad to jump to the next nearby Dragonhawk. With two ferocious bites, he immediately bit this one to death.

The Dragonhawks were only beasts of the sixth rank, while Bebe was able to force a level seven ferocious beast, Velocidragon, to flee in defeat.

Moreover…

There was a huge gap in the difficulty of advancing as well as in the power from sixth rank to seventh rank. Bebe was unable to fly, but once he made physical contact with Dragonhawk, it was as good as dead. In a short moment, three out of ten plus Dragonhawk were already dead.

All the other Dragonhawks flew higher in fear. Seeing them fly higher, there was nothing Bebe could do, as he himself could not fly.

“A scary list. "It was only now that Linley finally let out a sigh.

While collecting the magicite cores of the three dead Dragonhawks, Linley pondered the question about Foggy Gorge.

“Kakek Doehring's. "Linley suddenly called out, and Doehring Cowart flew out of the circular Dragon ring. Still appearing to be wearing pure moon white robes, Doehring Cowart smiled as he spoke to Linley. "Linley, is there something you need?"

Linley was not calm.

“Grandfather Doehring, just now, I entered a misty canyon. I didn't expect the place to be filled with magical beasts. There was a Green Tattooed Python there, and huge creatures were creeping up. I don't look very well at them, but in terms of size, they are definitely no smaller than Velocidragon. There are Dragonhawks there as well .. and I can tell that this is only a small part of the canyon. I don't know how big the whole Foggy Gorge is. ”

Thinking back, Linley felt another wave of fear. He had actually stumbled onto a gathering place of magical beasts in the abyss.

"Oh?"

Doehring Cowart looked rather surprised. "This Misty Canyon has so many magical beasts? Attractively. In general, only ferocious beasts of the same breed would gather together, but the savage beasts you just mentioned were all of a different breed. They were actually all gathered together in this Foggy Gorge? Attractively. Very interesting . If I were still alive, I would most likely go inside and check it out myself. ”

Linley shook his head helplessly and laughed, "The roar even contains Blueheart Grass. There is one area that I do not have time to gather. I can only collect one. ”

"Blueheart grass?" Doehring Cowart's eyes sparkled. “The place where Blueheart Grass can grow is definitely not an ordinary place. There must be some kind of precious treasure within the Foggy Gorge, or perhaps some extremely powerful magical beast, such as a magical beast of the ninth rank, or even a Saint-level magical beast. But…"

Doehring Cowart began to frown. “In general, powerful magical beasts are very territorial. If there were powerful magical beasts there, they would probably not allow creatures like Dragonhawks and Green Tattooed Python to stay there as well. ”

"But the Dragonhawks, the Green Tattooed Pitons, and the big beasts you mentioned earlier could all live together there? Bizarrely. How strange. "Doehring Cowart also could not understand. This Foggy Gorge seemed to be filled with contradictions.

Linley laughed. "Grandfather Doehring, don't think too much. When I become a magus of the seventh rank, I will be able to use the 'Highing Technique'. At that time, we will come for another investigation.

After becoming a magus of the seventh rank, his Earthguard would reach the level of producing jadestone armor. The additional speed exerted by the Supersonic spell would also increase dramatically. At that time, Linley would have full confidence in his ability to deal with the Dragonhawks. And with the ability to use the Soaring Technique to fly, Linley would be able to easily enter and leave the canyon.

“Magus from seventh rank? You are only a magus of the fifth rank now. You still have a long way to go. "Doehring Cowart said, pouring cold water over Linley's enthusiasm.

In his heart, Linley knew this as well.

Perhaps becoming a magus of the sixth rank would not be too difficult, but there was a huge gap between the sixth rank and the seventh rank.

“All roads pass one step at a time. "Linley smiled. “It has been about two months since I entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range. It's time for me to come back. It will take a few days to return. I will use that time to do some more training. ”

With Bebe on his shoulders, Linley began the journey back home.
