Chapter 794 - 364: Ghoul Plague_2
It’s the flying serpent dragon!
Its size is noticeably larger, far exceeding that of ordinary flying serpent dragons!
The wingspan is at least ten meters, almost twice that of common flying serpent dragons!
This flying serpent dragon circled in the air and immediately noticed the presence of Dianna and her entourage, swooping down without hesitation!
"Prepare for battle!"
Knight Dos shouted and drew his sword, while the other soldiers raised their bows and arrows, firing a barrage at the flying serpent dragon!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Arrows continuously sliced through the sky as the flying serpent dragon deftly twisted and dodged!
The soldiers’ arrows all missed, and the flying serpent dragon was upon them in an instant!
"Don’t worry about me, run quickly!"
Dianna shouted loudly, "Don’t sacrifice yourselves for me!"
But the soldiers paid no heed to Dianna’s words and continued to shoot at the flying serpent dragon.
A few arrows struck the dragon’s body, but they only lodged in its scales without penetrating.
"Scatter!"
Dos shouted and the soldiers quickly fled to either side!
But the flying serpent dragon dropped like a cannonball, and a young soldier reacted a fraction too slow, his neck torn open instantly!
The flying serpent dragon soared back into the sky, its vertical pupils filled with malice, searching for the next target!
"Distract it!"
Dos roared, turning to grab Dianna,
"Let’s go, Princess Dianna!"
Regardless of Dianna’s willingness, Dos dragged her, running northeast!
Dianna was bewildered, "Aren’t you going to care about them?!"
Dos gritted his teeth and shouted, "They are the most loyal Guards, willing to give their lives for you!"
"Shut up!"
Dianna shook loose Dos’ grip, and pulled the bow and arrow from his back.
She then raised the bow, aiming at the diving flying serpent dragon.
"What are you doing, Princess Dianna?!"
Dos abruptly stopped speaking!
Dianna drew the bowstring, green lights gathered beside the bow, rapidly forming an arrow glowing bright green!
"They’ve cared for me all the way, I can’t let them just die like this!"
Dianna shouted through gritted teeth, the green arrow shot off the bowstring, turning into a green beam rushing towards the flying serpent dragon!
"Wonderful! You can use spells, Your Highness!"
Dos’ face was full of excitement.
But in the next moment, he froze on the spot.
The green arrow flew past two meters from the flying serpent dragon, not hitting it at all.
Dianna sat on the ground, shrugged, "I should have practiced archery more."
Though the green arrow missed the flying serpent dragon, it successfully caught its attention.
It soared up again, its sharp eyes fiercely staring at Dianna, then swooped down.
"Great, it’s fixed on me now."
Dianna gazed at the sky, waving casually, "Alright, you guys go, don’t mind me."
Dianna showed no panic, her voice even carried a tone of relief.
"The flying serpent dragon is a magical beast, you are no match for it."
"Protect Her Highness!"
Dos commanded loudly again, reaching to pull Dianna up.
At that moment, a deafening dragon roar erupted!
"Roar!"
The flying serpent dragon shuddered just as it turned its head, seeing a huge black shadow descending from the sky!
It was the Black Flame!
Black Flame, like a meteor, streaked across the sky, intercepting the diving flying serpent dragon, crashing into the nearby forest!
"Crack—"
The sound of snapping trunks echoed repeatedly, the flying serpent dragon pinned to the ground by the dragon claw.
It showed no struggle, emitting a faint plea from its mouth.
Luo De jumped off the dragon’s back, his gaze sweeping over the flying serpent dragon.
"Its size is larger, and there are some purple patterns in its scales, seems like it’s mutated."
Luo De nodded slightly, questioning the flying serpent dragon, "Submit to me, become my servant, or the Black Flame will crush your bones."
"If you understand, nod." Luo De added.
The mutated flying serpent dragon seemed to possess higher intelligence, nodding in response immediately.
"Good performance."
Luo De waved his hand, "Black Flame, ease up a bit, don’t crush it."
Finishing this, Luo De turned around.
Dianna, Dos, and the others were completely frozen, watching Luo De and the colossal dragon, not knowing what to do.
The forest suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
"I am the highest ruler of the Broken Rock Empire, the sole Lord of the four provinces, dragon rider, Duke of the North, Luo De,"
Luo De’s gaze swept over everyone, speaking with authority,
"Who are you and why are you on my land."
...
...
Night fell.
The campfire crackled, the unique aroma of roasted crabs and lobsters wafting along the coastal night breeze.
Luo De sat on a stump beside the campfire, quietly listening to Dianna and Dos recount their story.
Dianna was the princess of Stone Ridge duchy.
The illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Stone Ridge.
Though her status was awkward, Dianna lived quite well.
The Duke of Stone Ridge was a generous and kind man, and Dianna accepted her identity.
A wealthy, leisurely life, ordinarily researching her beloved herbology, destined to become a noble’s wife someday.
Life was carefree.
Until a month ago.
Her fate suddenly became entwined with the entire Stone Ridge duchy.
Because the Duke of Stone Ridge suddenly began to lose clarity, his skin turning bluish-gray, becoming extremely hungry.
At times agitated and frenzied, at others unconscious.
Physicians tried everything without success.
Gradually, the Duke’s body began to decay, his uncontrollable periods grew longer.
One night, the Duke completely lost control, biting his serving maid to death and wildly devouring her.
