Chapter 418: First Generation Fighter VS Lava Fire Dragon
The continuous rain of bullets did not attract Silide's attention, because while the lava dragon was destroying the airship, it also had to face the counterattack of the wizards all the time.
As for Silide himself, most of his energy was focused on suppressing the lava dragon under him and constructing protective magic, and he could not spare too much energy to detect the attack that came from nowhere.
However, his underestimation of the enemy was obviously fatal. The fighter jet was flying at a speed of 360 kilometers per hour, as fast as a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, it had crossed a distance of hundreds of meters.
Before colliding head-on with the huge dragon's body, Lydia tried her best to deflect the fuselage and pulled the red wrench next to her to the lowest end.
The moment it intersected with the dragon's body, a strong laser beam shot out from the front end of the fuselage.
The top of the fighter plane seemed to be equipped with an indestructible sword of almost infinite length!
The distance between the two sides was less than thirty meters!
Lydia could even see the chain-like divine patterns on the scarlet dragon scales... Such a close distance undoubtedly brought the power of the laser beam to its extreme. The hard dragon scales were cut in an instant, and the fighter plane whizzed past. A bloodstain several meters long from east to west appeared on the huge dragon's body.
Blood filled the sky and huge dragon roars echoed continuously.
"What on earth is this?" Silide realized something was wrong only when the fire dragon under him was injured. He could only vaguely sense that something had invaded his territory, and it flashed by at an unimaginable speed.
After being hit hard again, the lava dragon was already furious. Its red eyes kept searching for the enemy that attacked it, but the polarization magic was very effective in hiding in the dark. It could only feel the airflow from the fighter plane and the humming sound of the propeller...
The fire dragon opened its mouth and spewed out hot dragon breath continuously, sweeping towards the place where the sound came from.
It was just that the fighter plane was too fast. Under Lydia's control, it was like a nimble fish, weaving through the fierce dragon's breath, and even firing its engine cannon from time to time to fight back...
Accompanied by a fierce burst of machine gun fire, continuous rain of bullets reappeared. Hundreds of bullets were fired in just ten seconds, continuously hitting the body of the fire dragon.
Although most of them were broken by the hard dragon scales, there were also many wounds oozing blood, which aggravated the injuries. The red blood continued to fall along the dragon's tail.
Amidst the roar of anger and pain, the hot dragon breath became more and more violent, and the entire dragon crashed directly into the direction of the rain of bullets.
Lydia was extremely brave, but she also knew that her fighter plane could not fight a dragon head-on, and the burning dragon breath would also affect the battle to a certain extent.
After all, she can see in the dark and hit the target accurately. This is not just due to her vision, but also due to the magic of sensing heat.
This is also the reason why pilots who fly fighter planes must be selected from wizards.
Fortunately, fighting is not about who is bigger or who has more powerful magic. If you can't hit the person, these advantages are meaningless!
Lydia obviously implemented the word "wandering" to the extreme. She always maintained a certain distance, circling around the huge fire dragon, and occasionally firing the machine gun to attack, constantly harassing and provoking the violent fire dragon, and occasionally finding the right opportunity to get close to it and use laser beams to hit it hard!
According to the dean, the angrier and more irrational the enemy is, the more chances they have!
As for Sirid on the dragon's back? This target was too small, and was completely invisible under the magic of sensing heat, and was obscured by the huge heat source of the fire dragon.
In addition, the fire dragon itself was moving non-stop, and it was impossible to hit such a small target in the night sky with limited vision, so Lydia put all her energy into dealing with the dragon.
The two sides fought for several minutes, and Long had dozens of shocking wounds on his body.
The lava fire dragon, which was already on the verge of going berserk, completely lost control. Its dragon breath was overwhelming, and its tail was swinging wildly, attacking aimlessly.
Lydia narrowly avoided the dragon's tail, and then a round of shooting hit the fire dragon's body...
"This vitality is too strong!" Lydia was secretly shocked as she looked at the lava dragon that kept wailing but still stood there. She had never seen a creature that had been hit by so many laser beams and was still "full of energy" under the strafing of machine guns.
The fighter plane had already consumed 80% of its 4,000 rounds of ammunition, and only less than one-third of the energy left to supply the laser beam...
It seems that we can only save ammunition and slowly exhaust the opponent's physical strength and vitality. Lydia doesn't believe that this thing is immortal. There is still most of the fuel left in the fighter plane. If we drag it on, she will definitely be the winner!
"Enough, stop!" Silide grabbed a protruding spike on the dragon's back tightly to avoid being thrown off. He also infused a large amount of divine energy into the dragon-shaped gem, forcing the lava fire dragon under him to stop its meaningless attack.
Their goal was not to fight with an invisible and unreachable target here, but to delay time and destroy as many aerospace airships as possible.
These alchemical creations were loaded with the main forces of the wizards. Every time one was shot down, it meant the deaths of hundreds of musketeers and wizards.
Under Sirid's constant instigation, the irritable lava dragon finally poured out all its anger and frustration on the airships that had not yet escaped far.
Lydia saw the fire dragon, which had become hysterical due to her "teasing", suddenly turned around to chase the airships. She immediately followed it eagerly and turned on the sound amplification array added by the alchemists, and mocked loudly.
"Come and hit me, I'm right here..."
Lydia provoked the dragon for a while, and when she saw the dragon still chasing the airship, she angrily scolded, "Only cowards would run away!"
Sirid ignored Lydia's words and controlled the fire dragon under him to constantly change its position to reduce the frequency of being hit by the laser beam.
Although the lava dragon still looked alive and well, Sirid, who held the dragon-shaped gem and could sense its condition, understood that these injuries were draining its vitality bit by bit, but they were not obvious because of its anger.
While the lava dragon can still hold on, he needs to destroy as many airships as possible and prevent them from heading to the source of kerosene...
Chapter 419: Dragon-slaying skills, fifth level!
Seeing yet another airship submerged in the dragon's breath, Lydia was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.
The machine gun and the front laser beam are the two most powerful weapons of the fighter jet, but these two are obviously unable to cause fatal damage to the fire dragon, they can only injure it.
Lydia couldn't help but focus her eyes on the inconspicuous black button on the fighter's operating console.
The first-generation aircraft she was riding was quite special. It had undergone special modifications and had an additional bomb-dropping function compared to other fighter planes.
However, the dean had told her before she left that the equipment loaded on the fighter plane was extremely powerful and dangerous. If she was not careful, it might cause irreversible consequences. She must use it only when she receives an order when the situation is most critical.
Although Lydia didn't know what it was, she knew it must be something very powerful...
Should we call this a crisis situation now?
If this continues, everyone will be defeated by this dragon!
Just as Lydia hesitated, a voice sounded beside her.
"Now is not the time to use that!"
The sudden sound scared Lydia so much that the fighter plane almost crashed into the airbag of the airship next to it.
"It seems that your driving skills need more training." Lin En, who appeared inexplicably in the co-pilot seat of the fighter plane, said disappointedly.
Lydia rolled her eyes. She was concentrating on thinking about how to deal with the fire dragon, but suddenly a voice came from beside her. She would be scared to death!
However, Lydia did not refute or complain, but said in surprise, "Dean, why are you here?"
"I asked the alchemists to set up a small magic on this fighter plane, which can project some magic power and willpower over when necessary." Lin En explained. This fighter plane was originally one of his backup plans, and he also made many suggestions for subsequent modifications. Naturally, it was impossible not to make some preparations.
"Then what should we do now?" Lydia asked with a frown. The dragon was too difficult to deal with. She had tried her best but still couldn't kill it.
"Let me prepare the magic to kill this dragon. You try to get as close as possible and delay some time!" Lin En said directly.
"Okay!" Lydia's frown suddenly relaxed. She has always had 100% trust in the dean, and immediately drove the fighter plane towards the fire dragon again.
Lin En disassembled the power supply system of the laser launch device and took out a ruby placed inside.
The laser launching device installed on the fighter jet can release a fourth energy level laser beam with a diameter of about 0.3 mm, which is already a special grade!
Can tear steel more easily!
Such strength can only barely break through the dragon scales' defense within thirty meters and cannot cause fatal injuries. This shows how high the defense of this thing is!
Then he could only take a risk and try to upgrade it to the fifth energy level!
The so-called five energy levels of laser correspond to the five orbits of electrons in atoms. The principle is that electrons first absorb energy, jump from low energy level to high energy level, and then fall from high energy level to low energy level. In this process, the absorbed energy will be released in the form of light!
The reason why he did not try to raise the laser beam to the highest energy level before was because the state of the fifth energy level was difficult to control. If the absorbed energy was slightly higher than this range, the element would directly turn into a plasma state. If it was slightly lower, it would immediately fall back to the fourth energy level.
Now, in order to deal with this fire dragon, we can only try our best!
Fortunately, there is a high-quality ruby on the fighter plane that can be used to cast laser magic. Otherwise, with this state of magic incarnation, it would be impossible to release such a powerful spell.
Lynn closed his eyes and concentrated on casting the spell. The fist-sized ruby kept spinning between his clasped hands.
Then, layers of reflection appeared around the ruby and included it...
While Lin En was casting the spell, Lydia had also taken action and approached the huge lava dragon again. She no longer saved ammunition and the fierce sound of machine guns rang out again.
A series of sparks burst out and hit the already bloody body. The scales on the body kept falling off, revealing flesh and blood like lava.
The fire dragon, which was constantly harassed, was furious. It swung its tail to try to drive away the reptile, while pouring more anger on the airship.
In just half a minute, the remaining machine guns had finished firing, and the distance between the two sides had become very close. Lydia hurriedly called out, "Dean, are you almost done?"
"Okay, aim at the head and go!" Lin En opened his eyes and spoke very quickly. The round reflective mirror in his hand shook violently and could get out of control at any time!
Inside the invisible interior, the ruby has shone to its utmost!
"Charge, charge!" Lydia excitedly pulled the acceleration lever to the bottom of the fighter plane, and rushed towards the huge lava fire dragon with a roar. Then, at the moment of collision, she suddenly turned and flew past the side of the dragon.
At the moment when the two sides intersected, a beam of light as thick as a hair shot out from the reflective layer!
Silide on the dragon's back also sensed the invasion of his territory. Then an extremely bright light appeared before his eyes and passed directly across the dragon's body. The powerful power made Silide feel a breath of death!
Fortunately, the beam of light only flashed by and soon disappeared, and the lava dragon under him didn't seem to be affected too much, which made Silide breathe a sigh of relief.
Click...
The next moment, a slight cutting sound rang in Silide's ears, and then, under Silide's horrified gaze, the dragon-shaped gem in his hand exploded directly!
The dragon's body, which was flying by inertia, sprayed out a large amount of blood. Amidst a painful roar, the huge dragon's head was cut in two!
Sirid's left arm was also cut off. Not only the fire dragon was hit by the laser beam, but he was also hit. However, the beam came too fast and passed through his body the moment he saw it...
Lydia muttered to herself as she watched the huge dragon body being cut into two pieces and the corpse falling down like a rag.
"Amazing!"
Lin En, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his theory was correct. His luck was also pretty good. The ruby in his palm had completely turned into plasma and could no longer be used...
Chapter 420: The expeditionary army is caught in a dilemma
As the lava dragon fell, the wizards on the airship all breathed a sigh of relief. Having solved this big trouble, they were finally safe.
As for the Griffin Knights of the Holy See, they were even more vulnerable under the harassment of several fighter jets, and kept falling from the sky like dumplings.
The bishops on the ground also witnessed this scene. They saw the powerful fire dragon summoned by Her Majesty the Saint being beheaded in an instant and the Griffin Knights being beaten without any ability to fight back. They were all shocked and angry, but they could do nothing.
Most importantly, under the cover of darkness and polarizing magic, they had no idea how those griffin knights were killed.
"Lord Joshua, Her Majesty the Saint, why don't we withdraw our troops first?" A cardinal advised cautiously.
Without the fire dragon, the Griffin Knights were also severely damaged. They were defeated miserably in the air battle, which also meant that they lost the power to restrain the aerospace airship. In the next battle, they would have to face the threat from the air at all times.
