The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 565 - 559: Blood Rainbow Garrison
Chapter 565: Chapter 559: Blood Rainbow Garrison
Lornaa Lindwood’s gaze fixed on the encroaching darkness in the distance and the mountain range enshrouded beneath it, her voice turning utterly solemn as she turned her head towards David Jones to seek his opinion.
“Sir, if you are confident in breaking the spatial seal, we can head to Bountyblood City.”
“Bountyblood City is uniquely situated, surrounded by water on three sides with the Blood Rainbow Mountain Range at its rear, a quadrangle of war, and a famous military stronghold within Rillfort Mansion.
Outside the city, the Blood Rainbow Mountain Range stations five armies and ten guards, each guard consisting of five thousand people, hosting a total of fifty thousand elite soldiers. The five armies are led by Belial, who is of royal lineage, a renowned apex Ghost King in Umbral, and with fifty thousand elite soldiers executing military formations, even if powerless to expel demons, they offer more than enough self-protection!”
David Jones listened quietly to Lornaa’s narration without a change in his expression.
Though fifty thousand elite soldiers are substantial, this force still is incapable of posing a threat to the Avatar of the Unborn Void God, at best relying on the terrain for a temporary defense.
Lornaa, growing calmer with each word, clarified, “The fact that the Breathe of Demon God Zone has spread so quickly in Rillfort Mansion means that the Blood Sanctum Clan, which rules the mansion, has either already betrayed us, adding fuel to the chaos from behind.
Or, a significant catastrophe within the clan has occurred, leaving them powerless to stop the descent of the Vacant God; in any case, they cannot be trusted for now. As it stands, the Blood Rainbow Army is the only support we can rely on.”
“Of course, the most important thing is that the Blood Rainbow Arsenal contains strategic resources like the Holy Stone, and, sir, you can try to break the spatial constraint with the Hidden Dragon Fire.
Even if it ultimately fails, with the protection of the Blood Rainbow Army, we will be able to preserve a considerable amount of living force from the erosion of the Empty Zone, waiting for reinforcements from His Majesty!”
Upon hearing this, David Jones nodded slightly.
Compared to holding out and waiting for death, as Lornaa had said, going to the Blood Rainbow Mountain Range in search of Holy Stone might be the best option.
Once everyone reached a consensus, Lornaa waved her hand, the luxurious carriage disappeared instantly, leaving behind only a Red Jade Dragon with a look of faint fear in its eyes.
Under the constant erosion of the Empty Three Realms, once trustworthy companions like the Earth Demon Guard and the Flare Heavenly Wolf, Lynn Lindwood’s Seven Stars Dragon Wolf, including the Red Jade Dragon, have all become unstable factors at this moment, capable of losing sanity at any time and mutating into bloodthirsty Demonic Beasts.
“Earth Demon Guard, heed my command; whether it’s a comrade or a mount, the moment there’s a sign of demonic transformation, execute without mercy!” Lornaa’s eyelids drooped slightly as she touched the Red Jade Dragon that had been with her since she was young, her voice resounding deeply.
“Execute, execute, execute!!!”
The Earth Demon Guard raised their long spears and responded loudly.
“Sir, the energy of the Demon God’s Zone is weird and tricky; why don’t you and I share a ride?” Lornaa generously invited David Jones.
Although Theodore Lindwood’s power was weak, he possessed a Venerable-grade ghost implement for protection, which prevented his will and body from being eroded and mutated by the energy of the Demon God’s Zone.
While David Jones is a Ghost King with a strong will, his physical resilience is still not entirely immune to the Zone’s energy’s erosion, and he risks mutation with the slightest carelessness.
Before the situation completely spiraled out of control, Lornaa would rather lose a unit of Earth Demon Guard than have any mishap befall David Jones.
Hearing this, David Jones looked down and noticed that the little ones were all quite busy.
Daphne, disguised as a scarf, had her eyes tightly closed, emitting an imperceptible radiance that flowed over his skin, slowly removing the approaching energy of the Demon God’s Zone.
The Gluttonous Beast, transformed into a mechanical guard arm, seemed still, but the Mechanical Dragon Core within it was spinning rapidly, attempting to detect the composition of the Demon God’s Zone energy and find a countermeasure.
As for Rainbow, she was seizing every opportunity to grow stronger, committing her entire mind to cultivation in the hope of breaking through her limits amidst the crisis and pushing her Cultivation to Class VI King.
Seeing this, David Jones dismissed the idea of summoning a Pet to serve as a mount, casually grabbing Rossetti Lindwood, who had been somewhat uneasy since they entered the Empty Zone.
“Then I’ll leave it to Your Highness.”
At that moment, feeling the warmth of her teacher’s hand, Rossetti stiffened, and a faint blush quietly surfaced on her fair face.
Noticing the change in Rossetti’s emotions, Lornaa’s eyes flickered with a hint of curiosity and confusion.
She couldn’t understand why, compared to herself, the teacher’s newly accepted female disciple seemed unremarkable in every aspect.
The result was that the teacher was indifferent to her, yet seemed quite attentive to the disciple, which inevitably led Lornaa to overthink the situation.
Unaware of the two women’s thoughts, David Jones stood on the Red Jade Dragon, gazing into the distance; the dragon’s back was very spacious, more than enough to accommodate the three of them.
“We mustn’t delay, let’s set out for the Blood Rainbow Mountain Range now!” Theodore decisively ordered.
“Your servant obeys,” Lynn said, clasping his hands in a salute then turning to look at the guards behind him, hastening their pace.
At this moment, the caravan was only a half-hour’s journey from Bountyblood County, but the occasional appearance of Demonic Beast herds along the way greatly hindered the caravan’s speed.
“Boom!”
With an irresistible halberd falling, the blocking Giant Bone Spider immediately shattered into broken bones, crashing to the ground and stirring up a large swath of sand and stones corroded into debris.
“Whew!”
Feeling the increasingly heavy halberd in his hand, Lynn unconsciously exhaled a breath of turbid air.
The Giant Bone Spider excelled at using Spatial Teleportation for ambushes, and its eight deep purple bone claws possessed highly infectious erosive abilities; its poison was so potent that not even Ghost Emperors dared to come into contact with it lightly.
At the moment the Giant Bone Spider suddenly attacked, the caravan was caught off guard, suffering heavy losses.
Among the Earth Demon Guards meticulously trained by Lynn, one Ghost King had fallen, and two Ghost Kings were critically injured and on the brink of death, which caused him to be filled with anger, wielding his halberd to crush the daring Demonic Beasts in their path.
Including the just-slain Giant Bone Spider, this was already the twenty-third King Class Demonic Beast Lynn had killed.
Sensing the long-absent weariness in his body, Lynn’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
With his medium stage Ghost Emperor strength, even without using ghost force, he could easily kill several King Class Demonic Beasts with just the robust swing of his halberd, and even after battling fiercely for ten days and nights, he would still have energy to spare.
However, within the Empty Three Realms, the Ghost Emperor’s ability to continuously draw in the energy of heaven and earth was greatly weakened, such that now, after just an hour of battle, a third of his strength had been spent.
“Luckily, I prepared ample external elixir medicine for this trip, otherwise my Earth Demon Guards might actually be exhausted to death!”
Lynn took out an external alchemy pill and swallowed it, then turned to glance back at David Jones who seemed relaxed, a look of envy in his eyes.
Different strokes for different folks, he thought. As the Commander of the Earth Demon Guards, he needed to be a vanguard, bravely fighting the enemies and sweating profusely, while David Jones, a mere Healer, had the luxury to stay close to the princess and ride alongside her.
Just as Lynn’s attention slightly wavered, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.
David Jones’s voice rang out unexpectedly.
“Commander Lynn, be careful!”
Lynn’s pupils shrank, and he looked instinctively to his right, where a huge shadow exploded out of the darkness, and a thick black fog completely enveloped his figure.
