Chapter 907 - Cherubim Grace! (1/2)
After tossing aside the Vermillion Garuda’s corpse, the Darkwing Dragon pounced over and chomped down on the neck of a nearby Hearthfire Manticore. The Hearthfire Manticore was covered in thick black scales. Among Rank 7 flying mounts, it was considered an extremely powerful existence. However, in the face of the Darkwing Dragon, it was nothing more than a trifling bug.
“GRAOOOW!” the Hearthfire Manticore wailed in pain. It jabbed the Darkwing Dragon with its stinger in a last ditch effort.
KLANG! A light scratch appeared on the Darkwing Dragon’s scales. The Hearthfire Manticore’s attack couldn’t even pierce Darkwing Dragon’s scales.
The difference between Rank 7 and Rank 9 was too great. Only if several dozen Rank 7 flying mounts worked together in perfect harmony, would they stand a chance against the Darkwing Dragon. Anything less simply wasn’t enough to pose a threat to it.
The Darkwing Dragon dug its claws deep into the Hearthfire Manticore’s body. As the two tangled in the air, it bit down harder and crushed the manticore’s neck before severing it from the rest of the body. Blood sprayed out into the air.
The Darkwing Dragon tossed the Heartfire Manticore’s head into the air before swallowing it in one gulp.
Evil Monarch and the other players from Angel Corps felt their scalps go numb. The five remaining Rank 7 flying mounts tried to flee, but Xie Yao and a few others intercepted them.
Evil Monarch’s flight was surrounded by 18 Rank 6 flying mounts, nine Rank 7 flying mounts, a Rank 8 Immortal Phoenix, and a Rank 9 Darkwing Dragon. Escape was impossible.
“SCREEEH!”
“CROOAH!”
Under Xie Yao’s lead, two more Rank 7 flying mounts were slaughtered.
“Grab the Life Cores! Don’t leave a single one!” Bladelight ordered. Rank 7 Life Cores were extremely precious. Naturally, they couldn’t be allowed to fall in the hands of others!
The Life Core within the Hearthfire Manticore’s head was directly swallowed by the Darkwing Dragon. As for the Life Cores of the other three Rank 7 flying mounts, Sun and two others moved lightning quick to retrieve them.
Riding on top of a Vermillion Garuda, Evil Monarch’s face flashed between alarm and anger. It looked like death was inevitable today. The Rank 9 Darkwing Dragon was an invincible existence to them. They’d lost all initiative. There was absolutely nothing they could do to keep it in check!
「Boss, we’ve been surrounded. The Rank 9 Darkwing Dragon is too strong. We are powerless!」Evil Monarch said.
When Evil Monarch was on the verge of despair, a group of 600 flying mounts came charging over. They blotted out the sky with sheer numbers. At the very front was a silver dragon. It was Soaring Angel!
Finding four Rank 7 flying mounts missing and Evil Monarch and the remaining three Rank 7 flying mount in imminent danger, Soaring Angel became enraged.
“Nirvana Flame, don’t celebrate too early!” Soaring Angel shouted. “Kill!”
“Kill!”
“It’s 600 vs 30! Wipe out Nirvana Flame!”
…
The battle cries of the 600 players from Angel Corps shook the sky.
“Big Bro, what do we do? They’re with too many. Should we call for reinforcements?” Sun anxiously asked.
“Boss, the Kamikaze Drakes are on their way here. Should we retreat and drag it out until they arrive?” Paladin of the Elegy asked. He had witnessed their destructive power firsthand. The guild had poured in an enormous amount of resources to manufacture them.
Angel Corps had manpower to spare, but Asskickers United didn’t. Their main force was busy tangling with the enemy in front of them and couldn’t break away. Repelling 600 flying mounts with only 30 was impossible. Even though the Rank 9 Darkwing Dragon was powerful, how many could it possibly kill by itself? If every one of them were to be wiped out but the Darkwing Dragon, that really wouldn’t count as much of a victory.
“No need!” Nie Yan faintly smiled. His eyes flashed with a cold light. “Today, we will show the enemy our might! Come on, let’s go!”
Seeing Nie Yan brimming with confidence, Bladelight and the others were dumbstruck. Could it be that Nie Yan had yet another trick up his sleeve beside the Kamikaze Drakes?
Everyone but Nie Yan couldn’t help but feel their faces pale as they stared at the 600 flying mounts quickly drawing closer. If they didn’t leave now, they would be completely surrounded. Who could possibly remain calm in a situation like this?
At this moment, Battle Angel Kalenna appeared next to Nie Yan’s shoulder. She waved her staff and started chanting. A holy aura swept out around her.
Kalenna was casting a spell? Everyone looked toward her and noticed she had undergone a complete transformation. She now had two sets of wings on her back, and her pure, white dress was replaced with shining, silver-white battle armour. She looked dignified and imposing.
A four-winged cherub!
After Kalenna finished chanting two sets of syllables, an enormous pillar of light descended from the sky and fell over them.
