Chapter 871: One Shot, One Kid

Look back!

Draw!

Liszt, riding the Invisible Dragon Bard, blinked back in front of the Copper Dragon after Loyel's furious attack.

Thunder's Rage, infused with the invisible dragon's magic power and his own mana, erupted violently at the lance's tip, unleashing a technique called "Sound Burst." Though no actual sonic boom was produced, a burst of blood bloomed on the Copper Dragon's neck—slightly off-target, or it would have pierced straight through.

At the same time,

Bard suddenly twisted his head and, taking advantage of the close pass, spat a breath of space-splitting mist directly into the Copper Dragon's face. The white fog, capable of slicing through space, struck the dense scales like a barrage of knives, producing a crackling sound akin to popping corn.

Acheronides also seized the moment. With one hand gripping Liszt's armor and the other wielding the Eight Dragons Divine Sword, she gave a light swing.

A high-tier spell—Dimensional Slash—shot toward the Copper Dragon Knight Loyel.

Compared to the massive Copper Dragon, targeting the knight was far more effective. However, the dragonback perch itself was well-concealed, providing excellent cover. Just as the Dimensional Slash was about to strike Loyel, a flash of purple metallic glow coated his entire body in copper.

Clang! Crash!

The sound of metal being sliced drowned out the crackling explosions.

The Copper Dragon, too, reacted at the critical moment, channeling its magic power to coat its body in a layer of metallic copper, barely blunting the invisible dragon knight's ferocious strike.

The two dragons flashed past each other.

Once again, the Copper Dragon suffered injuries—but its robust physique, thick hide, and copper coating allowed it to endure. As they separated, it endured the white-hot pain and turned toward where the invisible dragon had faded into the boundary veil, spewing a torrent of molten metal surge.

Dragon breath was a unique manifestation of magic power.

Each dragon's breath differed—Fire Dragons unleashed scorching flames, Lightgreen Gem Dragons fired hail-like crystalline particles, and invisible dragons expelled space-splitting mist. The Copper Dragon's breath was a metallic flood, a liquid metal formed from magic power, carrying tremendous force.

Upon contact with air, it rapidly solidified into raindrop-shaped copper bullets, shooting forth faster than any projectile.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The dense, ear-splitting buzzing sound of bullets filled the air like a swarm of hornets. Yet the metallic barrage failed to strike the invisible dragon knight, who had already faded beyond the boundary veil. Loyel's retaliatory lance thrust also found only empty air.

"Damn you!"

His temper flared, but his gaze grew even colder. He didn't waste time wondering why the Fire Dragon Knight he was supposed to face had become this ghostly foe. Instead, he focused entirely on tracking the invisible dragon's movements, confident in his own strength.

"Just let me catch you—one strike will send you back to Dragon Valley!"

But before he could vent his frustration, the invisible dragon reappeared below and behind the Copper Dragon through a corkscrew maneuver. Thunder's Rage stabbed wildly in a technique called "Viper's Drill," drilling relentlessly into the Copper Dragon's vulnerable underbelly.

Bard took the opportunity to spray another breath of space-splitting mist at the exposed belly.

Acheronides, meanwhile, switched tactics—casting a high-tier spell, Razor Hydraulic Cutter. A massive shimmering water blade materialized midair and slashed down at the Copper Dragon.

A roar!

The Copper Dragon reacted swiftly, but it was still overwhelmed. By the time "Viper's Drill" had already pierced its abdomen, it hastily coated itself in copper. Unfortunately, Thunder's Rage had already drawn blood, drilling deeper until resistance forced its withdrawal.

Amid this delay, Loyel sneered. "Got you now!"

His onyx Dragonlance rose high as the Copper Dragon pivoted with precision, reversing their stance—now the invisible dragon was above. The black lance thrust through the gap in the dragon's beating wings.

In that instant—

A chilling surge of magic aura suddenly emanated from behind Loyel, sending chills down his spine.

He had no time to care about what was happening behind him, focusing solely on thrusting his jet-black Dragonlance, hell-bent on killing Liszt first!

Just as the Dragonlance was about to strike the invisible dragon before it could fade into the material boundary, a blinding white light flashed. The air rapidly froze, forming a shimmering, transparent ice shield.

Boom!

The ice shield lasted only a second before shattering under the overwhelming force of the black Dragonlance. But that single second was enough—the invisible dragon had already slipped back into the material boundary.

On its back, Acheronides raised the Eight Dragons Divine Sword high. The previously dull blade now gleamed with blue-white light as water and ice magic power surged through it. When she vowed to protect Liszt, it wasn’t arrogance—her mastery over elemental embodiment allowed her to cast high-level spells instantaneously!

Archmages didn’t rule the ancient world by chance—their power stemmed from drawing immense magic power from the magic web.

"What?!"

Loyel couldn’t believe an ice shield had blocked him. His attack had failed again, and the sense of danger behind him grew stronger.

The next moment—

Before he could react—

A blistering wave of heat engulfed him, as if he had been plunged into molten lava. The copper dragon’s scales nearly melted from the sudden intense heat.

Then, an enormous weight slammed into the copper dragon, sending it tumbling uncontrollably through the air, plummeting uncontrollably.

"Nice one, Rio!"

Liszt laughed heartily.

He had released the Fire Drake Rio the moment the invisible dragon appeared, with Rio leading the charge and ambushing. Rio’s performance was flawless—a masterstroke. With the copper dragon destabilized, how could it evade the invisible dragon knight’s deadly sneak attacks?

Bard burst out of the material boundary, charging straight at the copper dragon.

Thunder’s Rage bellowed again, delivering another devastating strike—*"Mountain Collapse"*—exploding against the copper dragon’s shoulder blade, damaging one of its wings and further disrupting its balance.

"Charge!"

"Bard! Rio! Acheronides! Finish it!"

Once in combat mode, Liszt transformed into an unstoppable force of destruction—no hesitation, no holding back. Just pure, unbridled assault.

Rio kept ramming the copper dragon, while Bard darted in and out, thrusting his Dragonlance repeatedly—stab after stab!

Acheronides split her focus between shielding Rio and Bard with water and ice barriers, protecting them from Loyel’s occasional counterattacks, while occasionally unleashing a Vector Slash, high-pressure water saw, or water drill.

For the next few minutes—

Liszt, Bard, Rio, and Acheronides relentlessly ganged up on the Copper Dragon Knight. They pummeled the copper dragon from four thousand meters in the air all the way down to a few hundred meters—and still kept pressing the attack. Despite the copper dragon constantly reinforcing itself and Loyel with copper plating, the damage was too much to withstand.

Blood arced; screams tore through the air.

The metal dragon’s legendary defense could only prevent fatal wounds—not escape. Especially when they descended to a mere hundred meters above the sea.

The once-calm waters, under Acheronides’ innate control, suddenly seethed like awakened leviathans. Countless waterspouts surged upward, roaring as they coiled around the copper dragon, crushing its last desperate thrashing. All it could do now was rely on its copper plating for protection.

"Now, Loyel—you die!"

Liszt gripped Thunder’s Rage with both hands, unleashing his ultimate technique—"Sonic Boom." *"STOP!"*

A deafening roar echoed from the distance as a new Dragon Knight arrived—a massive gray dragon, forged from steel, its wings blotting out the sky, gleaming with metallic brilliance under the sunlight.

The White Iron Dragon Knight, Alex Bai Kou Tie, had arrived.

Yet his shout carried no weight.

Liszt’s hands didn’t waver in the slightest. Thunder’s Rage drove mercilessly into the copper-armored Loyel. Though the metal’s defense was formidable, the impact of Thunder’s Rage was even stronger. The lance’s tip flared with a blend of fire and spatial magic power, burning and tearing, forcibly splitting the copper apart.

*Thud!*

Blood sprayed. Loyel, who had barely sighed in relief at Alex’s arrival, now had his chest pierced by the Dragonlance. The violent magic power surged out in an instant, ripping through his chest.

Under the vision of Crystal White Trace, Loyel’s dark magic power could no longer hold, scattering and dissipating.

He was dead!

Following Ka Erluo Violet, he became the second Dragon Knight to fall by Liszt’s hands—a reigning monarch, the Grand Duke of the Purple Copper Duchy, collapsing in a battle against dragons unseen.

After slaying Loyel,

Liszt wasted no time, quickly summoning Leo, who shifted into a magic form and merged with his chest. Then, mounting the Invisible Dragon Bard, he released the copper dragon, its body now hardened beyond further harm. Silently slipping into the material boundary, he retreated into the distance—the fight had taken its toll.

For now, engaging the White Iron Dragon Knight was unwise, especially as a gleaming silver dragon emerged behind the White-Mouthed Iron Dragon.
