Chapter 957: Giant Dragon

Chapter 957: Giant Dragon

The giant dragon disregarded the other mad knights, reaching only towards mad knight Mead's shoulder.

Suddenly, a glowing white shield flashed in front of him. It was the holy shield, and the golden claw of the dragon slammed onto it.

But with a clean cracking sound, the sharp claw penetrated the shield and landed on Mad knight Mead's shoulder.

Ah! A big hole opened up on his armor, and the claw sank into his shoulder.

With the world stone's ability, Abel's close combat skills were on full display.

He felt nostalgic, back when he first became a wizard and killed ahead commander with a sword. It was the power of holding someone's life closely in your hands.

His claw grabbed Mad Knight Mead from the ground and flew him towards the other 3 mad knights. It was a huge force, but the knights had to take it because they didn't want to hurt Mad knight Mead or let him get slammed on the ground.

The 3 mad knights caught Mad knight Mead, and they were knocked back by the force. After a few tumbles, one of the knights held Mead and ignited a charge.

This time, it wasn't for attacking but for retreating.

Mad knight Mead was the most powerful of the bunch, and he was knocked down by the dragon in one strike. Even though Mad Knight Mead was not in his top condition, it truly showed the knights how powerful that dragon was.

As they ran off, they couldn't help but wonder how master Bennett transformed into a 100 years old blue dragon with such power.

They had not fought with dragons many times, but they knew how powerful a dragon was. The scariest thing about them was their impenetrable defense.

However, winning against a mad knight in close battle was almost impossible. Although a normal young dragon could withstand the suppression of a mad knight, there was no way he could beat up 4 of them so easily.

Abel was about to chase after them, but the mad knights were already out of the valley, and they were making their way out of the battlefield between the tree men and the Holy Knights.

Since he just became a dragon, there were not many skills he could use. The reason he could fly and dodge the attacks of the knights was all dependent on the world stone's ability to slow down his environment.

He still didn't have full control of his body. He would have made a combo attack right after the slash to kill the knights if he did.

At the same time, he felt like he couldn't sustain his dragon form for long. His transformation could only last for half an hour. If he went beyond that, his body would automatically return to its original form.

Therefore, he didn't want to chase after the mad knights. Instead, he used his dragon form to end the battle outside the valley entrance while he still could.

Although the tree men used the tree of life's life force, they also used their own energy. The longer the battle lasted, the more damage they would take

He was treated as an equal with the tree of life, and all the trees in Ervo forest were the sons and daughters of the tree of life. He didn't want to see them get hurt.

"Guard the valley. I'll go out and break those knights' formation!" Abel turned to big druid Lendo and said.

"Master Bennett, be careful!" Big Druid Lendo said in an admiring tone.

Abel flew out the valley and looked down from above the sky. Everything was in his sight.

The 4 mad knights were nowhere to be seen. Maybe they were already gone, leaving the troops to continue fighting.

Afterward, Abel fully unleashed his dragon energy and roared from the sky.

A dragon roar was a common attack of a dragon. It could suppress any being less powerful than the dragon.

Dragons were the pinnacle in the hierarchy of life in this world. As soon as a dragon roared, a large area would be under his command.

Of course, Abel was only doing so because he had experience with dragon energy. Therefore he did not roar aimlessly. It was targeted towards the holy knights only.

Their formation was already getting a little shaky, and the intermediate holy knights were the first ones to get affected by the dragon roar.

They were the core members of the formation, and most of them suddenly felt their souls struck by lightning. Soon, they fell towards the ground, unconscious.

If those knights were not fighting the tree men but countering the dragon roar with full concentration, they definitely would not have ended up like this.

A knight formation worked as a whole. Normally a few knights losing control wouldn't affect it, but it was not the case when a large number of knights dropped down.

Since those tree men were the energy supply for the tree of life, they had the ability to absorb life force. Suddenly, large numbers of unconscious knights were grabbed by the tree men and sucked dry.

Soon, elite knights also began to die as more and more pure white soul beams shoot up on the battlefield.

The holy knights' formation began to disintegrate. It was not that they didn't want to run, but they just couldn't. There were way too many tree men.

They were held wrapped around the battlefield. An elite holy knight would have no hope of breaking it no matter how powerful they were.

Seeing those soul beams, Abel knew his job was done, so he flew back t the valley.

When he was at the entrance, he suddenly returned to his elf form in mid-air.

As he landed, he felt his body getting weak and almost fell on the ground.

"What happened to you?" Lorraine ran towards the entrance, with Dolf following her from the back.

"Nothing. I'm just used to being a dragon!" Abel held down the pain and tried his best to smile.

He never expected his body to get so weak. It was almost like he became an empty shell.

Therefore, he immediately scanned his belt with his power of the will and opened up a full recovery potion to revive himself.

At that moment, he realized the dragon transformation spell on his skill tree was no longer available to use. He connected his power of the will onto it and discovered a 24-hour countdown.

It seems like he could only transform into a dragon once a day.

By that point, he was still a young dragon, so of course, he needed time to recover.

But still, once a day was already very fast. Dragon druids were very rare in the elves, and no matter what rank they were, most of them could only transform to a dragon once a month.

"Let me help you up!" Lorraine carefully stepped up and helped Abel up.

"Lorraine, I'm ok!" Abel smiled and waved his hand.

"Why did you become an elf again. Is someone chasing after you again?" Lorraine continued.

Back in the Holy Continent, Abel had transformed into an elf not only to help Lorraine get home but also because Wizard Clifford was trying to hunt him down.

Since Abel was an elf again, Lorraine was worried that something else had happened to Abel.

"Lorraine, can't you see? I'm a big druid. No one will mess with me!" Abel laughed, hearing that Lorraine was worried for him.

"You have to be careful!" Lorraine still insisted.

"Sainte!" A female big druid appeared at the valley entrance and saw Lorraine on the ground. She quickly stepped up and bowed.

Her gaze turned towards Abel and sensed that he was a big druid. However, she had never seen Abel, and she knew every big druid in the elves.

At the same time, she could also sense a special relationship between the Sainte and this big druid. From the look in her eyes, it must be romantic love.

"Big Druid Lucia, you are here. Where are the others?" Lorraine replied in excitement.

"Sainte, don't risk your life again. We are all worried for you!" Big Druid Lucia replied in irritation.

The temple sent her to protect Lorraine, but Lorraine had run off and used the goddess' possession as soon as she heard the name, Master Bennett. This was how she opened a dimension slit to arrive so quickly.

Lorraine's naiveness caused the big druids to move like crazy, but still, the battle had ended before they arrived.

Luckily their energy of nature was strong, and the tree men did not see them as enemies. If not, they couldn't even enter the valley.

"Big Druid Lucia, It won't happen next time!" She then sneakily turned to Abel and gave out a little smile.

She saw Abel's power. That giant dragon had beat up 4 mad knights like they were nothing and unleashed a dragon roar to shook the entire battlefield. It seems like he would no longer need to help Abel in the future.

"You are Master Bennett?" As Big Druid Lucia kept looking at Lorraine, she began to realize who this big druid next to her must be.

"Big Druid Lucia, yes, I am Bennett!" Abel smiled and bowed.

"Master Bennett, the Sainte is still underage. She needs to continue to study in the temple. Your relationship with the Sainte needs to be approved by the goddess!" Big Druid Lucia tried not to come across as offensive, but she really didn't want Lorraine to get into a relationship early.

Since Lorraine was a Sainte, the goddess' borrowed body, her soul must be kept pure.

Of course, there were Saintes with a husband and children, but Lorraine was still underage. At the same time, she knew Master Bennett understood how important Lorraine was to the elves.

"Big Druid Lucia, Master Bennett is already approved by the goddess!" Big Druid Lendo interrupted from the side.

Abel was the one who saved them and the tree of life. They had to repay a favor like this. Since he saw the goddess approving the relationship between the Sainte and Master Bennett, he had to say something.

"Great Goddess, if you agree, then I have nothing to say!" Big Druid Lucia stood up straight with a serious look and said to the sky.

Afterward, she no longer said anything about Lorraine and Abel. Instead, she helped the other 9 female druids come in.

The battle outside the valley was coming to an end. The elite holy knights were powerful, but they still couldn't do much in the face of those invincible tree men. With that number, even their charge was useless.

The knights were like fish in a net surrounded by tree men. One by one, they were sucked dry.

The countless tree men waved around their arms and grabbed the knights causally. It was no longer a battle.

Since the tree of life summoned the tree men, they were at an advantage. The knights had made huge mistakes for not retreating earlier.

If the 4 mad knights were still around, they might still have a chance to charge out of the tree men before they fully surrounded the area.

But it was too late. The 5000 holy knights would forever remain as dried-up corpses in the forest.
