Since the countermeasures of the three major enemies were discussed before the attack, Luo Ning, who was wearing a flame body and a mana shield, appeared at a very clever time, just in time to release the Dragon Breath spell just before Sarlayan landed.
Caught off guard, his face was smeared with high-temperature flames that were so close at hand. The Void Walker standing in front of him burned on the spot, spinning around in panic, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
"boom!"
Sarlayan's heroic leap happened to step down at this moment, and the impact when it landed shook the warlocks who were about to cast spells to attack Ronin.
Nekros, who is hiding behind, must maintain the Dragon Soul at all times and suppress Alexstrasza and Talanistrasz.
The two powers harm each other, whichever is the lesser. Compared with the two terrifying behemoths behind him, the threat to mortals such as Sarlayan is obviously much smaller.
Holding the dragon soul tightly in one hand, Nekros's other hand threw a spell at Sharlayan who had just raised his butcher knife and was about to kill the warlock.
"Fear spell!"
An inexplicable fear rose from the depths of his soul, causing Sarlayan's movements to suddenly stop.
【pill! He was actually hit by a control spell in a crowd! 】
[Don’t be nervous, have you forgotten Sarlayan’s innate ability? 】
Talent: Endless fighting spirit
Significantly reduces the effect and duration of mind control spells.
The Dragonmaw clan is different from other orc clans in that their status is not entirely measured by personal combat prowess. The ability to train dragons is their most important aspect.
Even so, Nekros also possesses elite-level strength. Although it is not as good as the leaders of the big clans who are good at fighting, it is more than enough to deal with most mortals.
Nekros calculated very accurately. As long as his fear spell can control Sharlayan for 1-2 seconds, the warlocks who are unsteady on their feet will be able to recover.
At that time, Sarlayan, who was alone and deep inside, was like a piece of meat on the chopping board, and could only be helplessly slaughtered.
However, the reality was beyond his expectation.
Sarlayan only paused briefly before regaining his mobility.
He ignored the dozen warlocks who had been targeted by Vereesa and Ronin, and looked directly at Nekros who was hiding behind.
"Arrogant guy!"
Nekros did not panic, and threw a bunch of green energy bombs at Sharlayan with his left hand holding the staff.
As the skull-shaped energy bomb flew, Sarlayan seemed to hear a shrill scream.
This is one of the Warlock's instant skills, Death Coil.
If a person's will is not strong enough, just being surrounded by death will be affected, and they will panic and fall into fear.
But these mental influences have little effect on Sarlayan, who always maintains a high fighting spirit.
"The Wrath of Nature!"
Facing the green light entwined by death, Sarlayan raised his left hand and released an emerald-green ball of light.
"Bang!"
Two spells composed of different energies collided in mid-air. After a moment of stalemate, Death Coil defeated the Wrath of Nature.
Sarlayan's druid profession is only level 5, and there is still a gap between the quality of magic power and that of elite warlocks.
However, the purpose of the wrath of nature to delay time has been achieved, and the death coil that was delayed for a moment pressed against Sarlayan's body and hit the empty space.
At the same time, Valeera took advantage of the heated fight in the front row and sneaked around behind Nekros without anyone noticing.
When she emerged from the shadows, a pair of poisoned daggers stabbed Nekros's vest at a vicious angle.
This set of tactics that had been discussed in advance defeated Nekros.
While he was busy evading Valeera's surprise attack, he relaxed a little bit about the Dragon Soul in his hand.
Sarlayan was aiming at the Dragon Soul from the beginning. After forcing Nekros to dodge through a feint attack, the real attack was aimed at the warlock's right hand, slashing straight at the golden little disc.
"suppress!"
Nekros used his experience to avoid Valeela's sneak attack, but Sarlayan's unavoidable suppression hit the target.
"Ding!"
Under Nekros's shocked and angry gaze, the Demon Slayer's sword made a crisp sound when it hit the surface of the Dragon Soul.
Unfortunately, this blow failed to penetrate the protection of the artifact itself, and a translucent golden shield blocked the sword's edge.
Before Nekros could breathe a sigh of relief, Sharlayan activated the special effects of the fully charged weapon.
"Arcane Impact!"
"Click!"
Suffering two consecutive blows, the defensive shield on the surface of the Dragon Soul cracked, and finally it could not withstand the powerful and heavy chop. Together with half of Nekros's palm, it was cut into two by the sharp Demon Slayer sword. Half.
"Ouch!"
As the dragon soul was destroyed, the substantive sound of dragon roars sounded in the sealed underground space.
Four different colors of energy, red, blue, yellow, and green, automatically escaped around. Among them, the red one accurately found Alexstrasza, the red dragon queen, and merged into her huge dragon body.
"Roar!"
The long-lost essence power returned, and Alexstrasza, who was originally very weak, immediately regained some vitality.
The loud roar of the dragon that resounded through the basement made Nekros, who had lost half of his palm, turn pale.
He clearly knew that the retribution for enslaving the dragon was coming.
A red shield appeared on the four-person team that infiltrated Grim Batol.
Before Ronin and Vereesa, who were fighting with the warlocks, could react, Alexstrasza suddenly puffed up her chest and took a deep breath.
"hold head high!"
The extremely wide-covering red dragon's breath enveloped all the mortals present.
Sarlayan and the others, who were protected by the shield, were unscathed, and the activated life force was even restoring the physical strength they had consumed.
The Dragonmaw Orcs headed by Nekros were not so lucky.
The ultra-high temperature life flames burned all the orcs except Nekros into cokes.
Even Nekros could barely survive with the Voidwalker's shield that he summoned instantly and sacrificed on the spot.
"Huh...huh..."
Finally, when the dragon's breath ended, Nekros, whose whole body was charred, fell to his knees weakly.
In order to save his life from the flames of life, he used up all his magic power to maintain the shield.
At this moment, Nekros was suffering the backlash caused by insufficient magic power. There were throbbing pains deep in his brain, and his body was completely out of control.
"boom!"
Nekros's desperate desire to survive was meaningless in front of the Red Dragon Queen.
With a casual sweep of his tail, Nekros, who had managed to survive, was smashed into the basement wall, with no way out.
"snort!"
Finally letting out a breath of anger, Alexstrasza's ferocious expression became calmer.
She lowered her huge dragon head to look at Sarlayan and Ronin, twitched her nose and sniffed twice.
"You two... have the unique life force aura of the red dragon clan, especially you, little guy."
Alexstrasza first focused on Ronin: "Did Korestras send you to rescue us?"
Korestraz was Krasus's dragon's real name. Luo Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly realized it.
"Yes, I am Krasus' apprentice Ronin. I..."
Under the barrage warning, Sarlayan, with a cold expression, raised his hand to interrupt the greeting between Luo Ning and the Red Dragon Queen.
"Don't relax! The crisis is not over yet!"
Alexstrasza was stunned for a moment, and then her expression changed drastically.
"Mortal! Hide next to me! Don't go out of the range of the shield!"
"Roar!"
"Ouch!"
Two dragon roars sounded almost at the same time, one coming from Alexstrasza, and the other coming from above the stairs leading underground.
"boom!"
Two dragon breaths, one red and one black, collided in the stair passage, and the resulting aftermath quickly spread outward.
Fortunately, Alexstrasza deployed a life shield in time, and Sarlayan and others were not harmed.
"Da~da~"
After the first round of dragon breath collision, heavy footsteps gradually approached the underground cell from above the stairs.
"Hmph~ Mortals, I admit that you did a good job."
A human man in gorgeous clothes with a huge metal collar around his neck slowly walked over, the vertical pupils in his eyes full of chilling intent.
Looking into his eyes, Sarlayan suddenly felt a chill coming from his back.
This is not out of fear, but an instinctive reaction of the body.
"Although it is somewhat of a pity that the Dragon Soul was destroyed, I would like to thank you for clearing the last obstacle for me."
The scales on Alexstrasza's body were spread wide, and she opened her dragon's mouth to show a ferocious angry expression at the "human" man.
"Neltharion! It is you who is planning the conspiracy!"
