Chapter 352: scars

Obviously, the half-dragon in front of me was extremely angry this time.

Theodore raised his head, and his eyes reflected the sun-like golden core on the half-dragon's chest. The blazing fire element surged around him, making this mage with golden intermediate strength hold his breath. If it hadn't been for the previous The snow-capped mountains of Nissiya were too cold, so he used an elemental shield for himself. At this moment, the brown-haired mage had probably been seriously injured by the boiling air.

But this was just a prelude. The real attack followed one after another. Only an angry dragon roar could be heard, and a dazzling golden flash appeared on the shore of the snow-capped mountain lake, swallowing everything up.

Accompanied by the harsh noise, a high-heat light beam with a diameter of more than three meters swept across, drawing an arc on the ground. It set off bursts of violent explosions, instantly driving away the coldness at the foot of the mountain, and more than a few dozen people. Baidu's hot air spread and immediately set the cold pine forest on the shore ablaze.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, there was no snow or trees at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, leaving only large areas of black char.

There was not a single blade of grass left within hundreds of meters, and the dragon's breath was so powerful.

But in the middle of the black charcoal, there was a milky white translucent air mask that was slowly rotating. Although it seemed to be barely holding on and had begun to flicker, it still perfectly blocked Hei's previous attack.

"Fortunately, I deal with dragons more."

Theodore stood in the center of the gas mask, holding two silver metal boxes containing dragon eggs in both hands. There was a magic book with a black cover and several gilded runes floating on his chest. He looked frightened. Swallowing, "I have some experience with Dragon Breath."

Of course the brown-haired mage knew that he had really angered the other party this time. He originally regarded Hei as a human-like being that could communicate, and wanted it to help, but he forgot that no matter what, dragons are dragons, they People's opinions on certain things are different...

Theodore shook his head regretfully. Why didn't he realize what a bad idea it was to let an unmarried female dragon hatch dragon eggs? Sure enough, it was the dream of many years that was about to come true that made me dizzy!

But aside from talking about these, Theodore knew that there was still a furious dragon waiting for him to deal with.

And Hei didn't talk nonsense, its dark golden dragon pupils were flashing with blazing flames. After seeing that the brown-haired mage was unharmed under his dragon's breath, the half-dragon became even more angry. It took a step forward and completely lost its power. Stepping out of the ice lake, revealing his huge figure.

Today's Hei is more than twenty meters long. This is because part of his tail is still in the water and cannot be measured. And its height has exceeded fifteen, close to twenty meters. Compared with the previous trip to Ilge Before entering the world, the half-dragon had grown at least twice in size, just shy of doubling its size. Counting its ferocious appearance and bone spines, it was a complete mobile killing machine.

Aiming at the extremely vigilant Theodore, Hei took a deep breath, and the core of his chest lit up again.

Seeing the giant dragon in front of him preparing to attack, the brown-haired mage did not hesitate to mobilize his magic power. The runes of the magic book on his chest flickered. With the blessing of the wind element, his figure disappeared in an instant, and he moved to an unknown location.

Theodore's reaction was not quick, because in an instant, a golden flame shot out from Hei's chest. This flame was not a thick beam of light like before, but a fan with dozens of The meter-wide light curtain completely covered the place where Theodore was standing. When it hit the ground, it caused a loud noise comparable to thunder. The subsequent shock wave blasted the entire land into the deep. A huge depression up to three meters.

"This... really wants to kill me!"

After that, the figure of the brown-haired mage appeared on the other side of the lake. Looking at the miserable state of the place where he was originally, his scalp went numb. When he turned around, Theodore discovered that the half-dragon's third The three shots of Dragon Breath had been brewed, and he immediately screamed that something was not good, and then immediately propped up the milky white shield before and reinforced it, preparing to resist this offensive.

In fact, Theodore has many ways to deal with Hei's attack. Whether it is domination of elements or refraction enchantment, they can resist dragon breath very well. After all, he is a gold-level mage. It is absolutely impossible for him to only dodge and force. He was resisting, but at this moment, the brown-haired mage wanted to protect the dragon egg in his hand, and he couldn't really hurt Hei - of course, it might not be hurt - so he was helpless and very sad.

In fact, Hei did not use his full strength. Since its advancement, its wisdom has become closer and closer to that of humans. Hei understands that the human in front of him just made a slip of the tongue and said the wrong thing, and the other person is also the instructor of the college. The master would not let himself kill him.

Although he said this, the anger in his heart made Banlong couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson. Then other instructors from the academy would naturally rush to stop the fight and make the other party lose face.

—Just don’t kill them.

Thinking of this, Hei's third attack blasted out.

At that moment, a burst of sulfur-smelling scorching wind seemed to blow at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. The branches and leaves of the cold pine forest on the other side of the lake instantly withered and the bark became scorched black. Dozens of tiny red beams followed the strong wind, like countless sharp streaks. Like a thorn, it pierced hard into the light shield protecting Theodore.

These sharp thorns were like entities. They did not dissipate quickly. Instead, they delayed for a while before exploding like a red lotus in full bloom. Before the brown-haired mage had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed that his shield was being concentrated and exploded by a beam of light. After crushing it, without any hesitation, he immediately triggered the incorporeal spell stored in his magic book and temporarily left the material world.

The battle at the foot of the mountain was in full swing, and Winterfort College halfway up the mountain was also facing a formidable enemy. When the first explosion came, the college immediately sounded the warning alarm, and the students playing outside immediately started guarding and leading the team. Under the guidance of the teacher, he hid inside the academy, and two gold-level mages quickly flew out of the academy to see the situation.

Then, they saw Black and Theodore fighting.

"This...why did Theodore fight with the lord's dragon?"

Sophia, a rare female mage in Winterburg Academy, said to herself in confusion: "Don't they have a good relationship? A few days ago, I saw Theodore going to the sea to grab a few boxes of ice. Shrimp, why now..."

"Drake must have something wrong with his brain, and you know it."

There were bright red runes on his forehead. Dill, the rune department tutor of the college, snorted coldly. He called Theodore by his last name: "This idiot has been troublesome with all kinds of dragons before, and always asked the teacher to wipe it for him." Butt, I must have accidentally angered Hei again this time, let’s see who will wipe his butt.”

These mentors were all students of Nostradamus. They had known each other before and had good relationships with each other. Even the sarcastic Dill was ready to leave immediately to stop this inexplicable battle.

"what happened."

But before the instructors had time to set off, a deep male voice appeared behind them: "Why are there people fighting at the foot of the mountain?"

The sound came without any warning. Neither Dill's warning rune nor the elements surrounding Sophia alerted them that someone was appearing behind them. The two of them immediately turned around and looked warily.

The tall man with black hair and red eyes was frowning, looking at the fireballs and rumbling echoes that continued to explode at the foot of the mountain. He noticed that no one answered his question, so he raised his head and asked again: "What? You guys too?" have no idea?"

Hearing this voice, the two people who had been frozen on the spot came to their senses at the same time. The totem shadows representing the four elemental spirits suddenly appeared around the female mage, and a bright red talisman condensed in front of the rune mage. With the translucent shield formed by the text, the two people retreated back at least twenty meters in an instant, and subconsciously made complete preparations for battle. Only then did they slowly realize who the man in front of them was.

"Lord Lord..."

With some embarrassment, Sophia withdrew the elemental shadow. She didn't know how to explain her reaction for a moment, while Dill on the side also silently canceled the blood-red rune shield. He also looked embarrassed.

For some reason, when the two of them saw Joshua, they felt that they were in front of a terrifying prehistoric beast. Both their body and mind were completely suppressed. An uneasy premonition that they would die at any time reverberated crazily in their minds. , it was not until the soldiers spoke that they broke free from this fear and subconsciously prepared for defense.

"nothing."

Shaking his head, Joshua had long been accustomed to others being uncomfortable with his pressure. He asked directly: "Who is Hei fighting? How did the fight begin?"

"It's Theodore Drake, the instructor of the College's Department of Biology and Change."

After coughing, Dill stepped forward and explained to Joshua, but since they didn't know much, it was very brief.

"It's strange. Hei and he should have a good relationship. Why did they get into a fight?"

It was obvious that the soldier was a little confused about the situation. As soon as he came out of the teleportation formation, he sensed the fighting at the foot of the mountain. Before Ying and Lin could catch up, he ran out alone.

Joshua also knew Theodore. He was a relatively dull middle-aged mage who seemed a bit difficult to get along with. In fact, he took good care of his students and had a gentle temper.

Due to his mentoring relationship, the brown-haired mage has been studying dragon-related knowledge, so Black's feeding and daily care were entrusted to him. Theodore was also very happy with this extra job and had never made any mistakes before. .

—Maybe it’s something related to dragon eggs.

Thinking of the urgent letter he had received from the college before, Joshua felt that he had probably found the cause of the commotion. He sighed: "It's really troublesome."

Fortunately, he has been relatively relaxed recently. The events in the world of Ilgona have passed. The plague is being studied by mages from the imperial capital. Although the dragon disaster in the far south is still continuing, it has little to do with the warriors in the north. He There is enough time to deal with various things in your own territory.

Coincidentally, there was another violent explosion at the foot of the mountain. Even halfway up the mountain, there was an obvious vibration. Many fragmented stones were jumping on the ground. In response, the soldier shook his head and then moved towards Step at the foot of the mountain.

Sophia and Dill originally wanted to follow, but in just a blink of an eye, Joshua's figure disappeared, and a howling wind violently pressed the two of them to the spot, unable to open their eyes until the wind disappeared. , when the two opened their eyes, the warrior had disappeared, and a long passage from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain appeared in front of them. The rocks and forests along the way were all cleared away, leaving only this scar-like path. trajectory.
