Chapter 849: Chapter 837 Level This Place Chapter 849: Chapter 837 Level This Place “Ande, hurry up, we’re assembling, and we’ll be setting off immediately. Check your equipment.”

“Coming, coming.” Hearing the call, the paladin clad in knight plate armor hurried over to a mixed team that included humans, elves, dwarves, and even a halfling.

Although the members of the team were diverse, they got along quite harmoniously. They were even joking and laughing with each other, indicating they shared the same ideals and aspirations. This allowed them to disregard their racial differences.

“This is our first time fighting alongside the Giant Dragons, so show them your best side and don’t let them look down on us.”

A stern-faced archbishop in red robes, who had the strength of the Soul Intent Level, said his piece. In Senapus, he was no different from ordinary soldiers. As for being appointed as the leader of a small squad, he had no real authority.

“I know. I won’t let those proud Giant Dragons underestimate us.” Ande, wearing his holy knight armor, responded with a grin.

Soon, this disorderly team, under the command of a Cloud Giant, boarded a floating ship. Similar teams were plentiful in the floating city, all coming from various corners of the continent to offer their support, all creatures with a sense of justice.

Many creatures hated the cancer known as Senapus Subcontinent in this world and wanted to eradicate it but lacked the strength. Now, with Prince Mureya taking the lead, they responded en masse.

“I never imagined in my life that I would fight alongside a group of Five-Colored Dragons.” The holy knight sitting aboard the floating ship looked outside through the porthole. He saw a green dragon whose scales shimmered with green light in the sunlight, flying alongside the ship. Noticing Ande’s gaze, it turned its head and bared its snow-white teeth in a grin.

According to the plans they had received, this green dragon would join them in battle as a member of their squad, their temporary partner.

“Come to think of it, this is my first time seeing a dragon. In my homeland, dragons have become legend.” At that moment, seeing the green dragon’s “friendly” smile, Ande returned the gesture with a smile of his own.

According to the books, the Five-Colored Dragons were evil, but based on what he had seen with his own eyes in Senapus, the Five-Colored Dragons seemed quite amicable, contrary to the books’ descriptions.

Of course, aside from their brutal attributes not being as depicted in the books, other typical dragon traits like greed and lust were abundant in these dragons as he had witnessed over the days.

“For you humans, dragons are legend, but for me, dragons are the nightmare of my childhood.” The elven maiden, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and said coldly after hearing the paladin’s words, “As a child, I watched a Red Dragon devour my parents!”

“Ah!” The cabin fell silent upon hearing the elf girl’s words; nobody knew how to continue the conversation. Some tried to comfort the elf girl, but considering that the incident had happened over a hundred years ago, and she was older than their grandparents, there was no point in their consolation; she had long since adjusted.

“Well… such evil dragons must have been sealed by Prince Mureya. The dragons fighting alongside us are certainly not like that. These dragons we’re fighting with haven’t even come of age.

According to the giants, many of these dragons have never even left Senapus; they’ve had no chance to harm other creatures. These dragons are definitely not the kind that harmed your parents when you were a child.”

“Regardless, I absolutely will not trust a dragon with my back,” the elven maiden responded, her expression still very cold, clearly stating her animosity towards dragons. She detested dragons.

“Listen, you can’t judge the entire Dragon Race by one dragon! Dragons differ among themselves,” another female priest, holding a magic staff, said with some displeasure.

The war, regardless, was being led by a being with half Dragon Blood, and his forces had a significant number of dragons. Having someone in their team who harbored such intense malice toward all dragons was quite disadvantageous for their future missions. Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?

“Don’t worry, my dislike for Giant Dragons is personal. I will never let my own desires affect you.”

…A faint vibration was felt, and then they received the notice to disembark. They were to fight alongside the Sinapus Army, and their first battle mission was starting.

“What a sight!” Ande, just stepping off the floating ship, looked up at the sky where various dragons were lined up in neat formations, intently watching the city covered in dense dark clouds ahead.

Surrounding them was a fully organized giant army of ten thousand, and the justice-seeking creatures that had come from all over the world were scattered around the giants. Following Sinapus’ arrangements, they would join the battle as supporters, mainly dealing with some remnants missed by the dragons and giants.

“We’re lucky to have been assigned such a challenging task on our first go,” the leader, the red-clothed grand archbishop, said with a serious face as he looked at the giants beside him and the dragons in the sky, then at the city shrouded in dark clouds, faintly emanating a bloody hue. This city gave him an oppressive feeling.

“Uncle Om, what’s in that city?” asked Ande, a prodigy who had already broken through to the Golden Realm and was determined to become a champion of justice as a paladin. He approached the side of the grand archbishop, grinning with curiosity.

“With this kind of display, what level of being do you think exists within this city?” The archbishop’s face twitched as he touched his own face, which looked no different from that of the younger man, suppressing the frustration in his heart before counter-questioning.

“Legend?” The still youthful-faced paladin, Rod, showed a look of astonishment. He had not encountered such powerful evil in his own hometown. He hadn’t expected that on his first mission upon arriving here, he would be confronted with such beings, which brought an excited gleam to his eyes.

“Why are you so happy?” Om felt that he could no longer understand the youth of today, “Do you realize what it means to be involved in a battle of legends? A single aftereffect could kill you.”

“But this is legend!”

“Didn’t you see plenty of legends when you first came to Sinapus? What’s so strange about this?”

“It’s different, the legends I saw, Your Excellency, had all reined in their auras.”

Boom——
While the grand archbishop was chatting idly with this naïve young man, the dragons in the sky began to cast spells in unison. Endless elements were drawn from all directions by these dragons, and then the radiant elemental light shone dazzlingly in the sky, displaying ultimate splendor.

Following that, the side of the city closest to the Sinapus Army was utterly destroyed, but oddly, not a single resident appeared in the city; it was eerily silent.

“What’s going on here?” Ande looked in surprise at the remote city, “Did the people in the city run away in advance, knowing that we were going to attack?”

“Something’s not right, very not right.” Unlike the clueless and excited young man, the archbishop, with his greater strength and keen senses, unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

“Mystifying mischief!” The commanders of the war—a legendary Ancient Amethyst Dragon looking down at the abnormal and eerily quiet city in the distance—sneered disdainfully.

In such a scenario, sending his troops into the city to investigate the abnormality was obviously an act of utmost folly. The correct course of action was,
“Nine-stage Shot, level that city for me!”

The Ancient Amethyst Dragon divided the dragons under his command into nine formations, having them cast spells in turns with the far-off city as the target. He intended to level the city, ensuring that whatever abnormalities were within would be destroyed along with the city under their dragon magic.

As for collateral damage to any innocents within the city, that was laughable. The city had already become ghostly, utterly devoid of any sign of life; how could there be any innocent ghosts?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just after one round of bombardment, the being hidden within the city let out a roar of rage, and then a domain started to spread rapidly, with a mighty divine presence descending.

“Roar! Insects, you’re courting death!”

“Divine Incarnation!” Feeling the pressure that made his very body feel heavy, the face of the Ancient Amethyst Dragon turned grave, and without hesitation, he crushed the communication talisman in his hand, “These Evil Gods are becoming more shameless by the day!”

As the blood-colored ripple passed and the Domain of the Gods unfolded, the elemental powers gathered by the dragons were forcefully dispersed. They wanted to cast spells but could only rely on the stored power in their bodies, although it was not necessary any longer.

As the magical bombardment ceased, the city shrouded in haze gradually became visible again. The sinister and ominous city had vanished, replaced by ruins; however, the central area of the city was preserved.

It was a gigantic Blood Pool, built from the corpses of hundreds of thousands of creatures. Their blood gathered within it, forming a vivid red pool that summoned the being standing above it—a man standing five meters tall, wielding a two-handed greatsword.
