Drawing Cards in the Middle Ages to Rise in Ranks

Chapter 739 44: Drawing the Bow to Shoot the Dragon

The sharp claw descended like a blade.

"No!"

Orhan's face changed drastically. He only had time to shout, but not to raise the steel lance in his hands.

Its speed was so swift that not only Orhan himself, even the Sharp Claw Dragon under him couldn't react in any way.

But just at that moment.

A white candle suddenly appeared above Orhan's head, and the flame on the candle was quickly extinguished by the gusts brought by the red lightning claws.

With the candle out, shadows appeared.

As the candle extinguished, it took away all the light around.

It's as if countless giant hands emerged from the darkness, enveloping Orhan in shadows.

The red lightning claws struck down, carving three deep trenches into the wall, but Orhan's figure had already disappeared.

The Red Dragon's face showed a trace of anger, spewing smoke laden with sulfur from its nostrils: "Come out, you worm that hides its head and shows its tail!"

It opened its gaping maw, and the scorching Dragon Flame roared out, enveloping the entire wall. The soldiers hiding inside the wall didn't even have time to scream before being roasted into char.

"Evil beast, I'm here."

The Female Knight, wearing a Fallow Deer Horn Hood, appeared like an angel reflected from the darkness, in a black and white battle robe atop a tower behind the Giant Dragon.

She held the handle of the blade in both hands, softly chanting the ancient spell of the Hohenzollern Family.

One by one, Alchemy Patterns, as Magic Power infused through, linked the engravings on the sword's body, transforming into a terrifying Power of Shadow. At this moment, even though the sun was still high in the sky, this wall had fallen into complete darkness.

From afar, it looked as if a part of the world was missing.

Viviana knew very well that to deal with a Fire Dragon, even one that doesn't major in Dragon Flame, it was impossible to use the fire power represented by Candlelight against it. The key was to use the Power of Shadow to bind it for Losa to make a good strike.

The Emperor in golden armor and purple robe, naturally, would not let down the excellent opportunity created by Viviana.

As his internal Power poured in, the originally small hand crossbow, the Dragon Slayer Crossbow, suddenly expanded several times in size. On the golden crossbow arrow, a layer of dark rust marks appeared as well.

In Losa's ears, he didn't know how many roars of the souls of dead Giant Dragons screamed and howled.

Such a vicious weapon was not for ordinary people. Even the Extraordinary would face a devouring end of Dragon Soul Devouring Body.

No wonder this Dragon Slayer Crossbow had no effect in history. Not even a strong Dragon Descendant like Orhan could possibly withstand the backlash of this Divine Artifact. Perhaps only Giovanni in all of Constantinople could wield this artifact.

What a pity.

Losa sighed. In the world of consciousness, countless dragon spirits manifested their bodies, dragging smoky bodies full of grievances, roaring, trying to tear this uninvited noisy guest to pieces.

But then, there was a flash of ten thousand beams of golden light, and that seemingly harmless soul of Losa transformed in a blink into a gigantic red-black dragon, over ten thousand meters in size, surrounded by golden Dragon Qi.

Now possessing a True Dragon Body, Losa's resistance to Curse Power had reached a terrifying enhancement of three hundred percent, and combined with the protective effect of the Destiny Golden Dragon, this terrifying dragon grievance was no burden to him at all.

In reality, Losa merely flashed a Golden Radiance in his eyes, then single-handedly held the crossbow, pulling the string into the crossbow machine. During this process, the Dragon Slayer Crossbow emitted a piercing scream, and the surrounding soldiers each had a complexion that changed dramatically, covering their ears with a look of painful crying.

Losa took a deep breath, his inner strength pouring into the Dragon Slayer Crossbow like a flood. After a long time, he finally took out the arrow of the Dragon Slayer Crossbow and loaded it into the crossbow.

The instant Red Lightning was targeted by the Dragon Slayer Crossbow, a strong sense of life and death crisis surged into its heart, countless mournful cries of its kin sang in chorus in its ears, hoping to gain release through its hand.

Was this the vicious weapon that even the three-headed mongrel was afraid of?

Red Lightning raised its head, a string of fear-driven emotions surged subconsciously in its heart, but it forced them down in the blink of an eye.

This vicious weapon, specially created against dragons, should be destroyed at any cost by any dragon at first sight. That mongrel with three heads didn't dare, but it, a noble pure-blood giant dragon, would dare.

Boom—

Endless flames spewed out of the Red Dragon's mouth. Others might be helpless against Power of Shadow, but flames have always been the bane of darkness. After it used Dragon Flame at all costs, soon, the darkness was dispelled.

After breaking free, Red Lightning immediately flew up in the air. Its massive body made an ear-piercing whistle as it drew irregular red streaks in the sky.

It was attempting to evade the targeting of the Dragon Slayer Crossbow in this way.

But it quickly realized the terrifying nature of this evil weapon, specifically designed against dragons.

No matter how it changed direction, the accumulated momentum locked firmly on its heart, and the sense of threat had not reduced in the slightest despite its aerial maneuvers.

"Roar!"

The Three-headed Demon Dragon let out an angry roar.

Red Lightning secretly slandered it as a mongrel, but in reality, it was a pure-blooded dragon through and through, merely a different breed. For this kind of specially designed vicious weapon, responsible for killing countless kin, it also harbored an instinctual impulse to destroy it.

Mahmud II had to repeatedly calm it down for a long time until it regained composure.

As a Dragon Descendant, he could somewhat perceive the terror of this weapon, and furthermore, seeing that Red Lightning, a dragon always fearless of heaven and earth, was desperately accelerating to evade showed just how terrifying this untriggered weapon was.

At this moment, he felt only fortunate.

If he hadn't curbed his impulse, had acted rashly at that time, it should be him now desperately evading.

Losa at this moment, his arm holding the Dragon Slayer Crossbow was already bulging with veins, looking closely, you'd discover a sharp spike emerging from the crossbow, piercing his arm, greedily sucking his blood.

The blood rich in True Dragon Bloodline poured continuously into the Dragon Slayer Crossbow.

This evil Divine Artifact, at first, might not have even reached the boundaries of a Divine Artifact. It killed dragons repeatedly, capturing their power, making it a vicious weapon born for dragon hunting.

Losa's True Dragon Bloodline coincidentally became its favorite.

This meant that the cost for Losa to use this Dragon Slayer Crossbow was even higher than others, but the unleashed power was also incomparable to when an ordinary Extraordinary used it.

Boom—

It was as if countless dragons wailed in unison.

The crossbow string snapped.

The dark red crossbow arrow turned into a dragon-shaped streamer, even though Red Lightning had boosted its speed to the utmost limit, it could only watch helplessly as the arrow, like a tenacious illness, followed behind it relentlessly.

Until, the arrow pierced through its chest.

The dragon heart that drummed like a battle drum, stopped abruptly as this needle-sized crossbow arrow passed through it.

A shrill roar echoed across the sky.

Red Lightning's massive body, like a falling star, plummeted towards the city head with a thunderous crash.
