The storm of magic swept past, leaving only nothingness.
The Green Capital Army missed.
"Damn it."
Silvia followed closely behind. Looking at the elemental ripples in the air, she cursed in a low voice.
Originally, after the Green Dragon appeared, the great Mother of Poisons had been in control of the situation. As an old dragon who had lived for more than four hundred years, the occasional unexpected situation did not trouble Silvia at all. She had always held a condescending attitude, looking down at the Black Dragon and its pitiful and weak kin.
But now, they had actually escaped!
Right under her nose!
"Tracking Spell."
The huge Green Dragon's emerald body flowed with brilliance. Silvia raised her claw and placed her right forelimb where the Black Dragon had been standing before. She closed her eyes and used her magic to search, tracing the target's current location.
"Damn it."
Very quickly, Sylvia opened her emerald green eyes again. Anger flashed through her eyes as she cursed again. "This puppy really deserves to go to hell. Even when it's about to die, it's still thinking about wiping away the traces of the others before it dies."
"He's actually willing to waste time for such a small trick."
The Green Dragon gritted her long, sharp teeth. "If he didn't do that, he would have a chance to escape with the Black Dragon."
"I'm afraid he had to do that."
At this time, Roy also walked over and stared at the dust on the ground. "This spellcaster became very powerful at the last moment, and actually had the power to resist you.
I guess that's an ability that has to be paid a certain price to obtain? "
"Elemental Ignition, irreversible magic.
The price is permanent loss of spellcasting ability and even life. "Silvia replied with a gloomy face.
She was a little embarrassed. As the ruler of the Green Capital, she had actually lost to an Orc. Although the Orc had permanently lost his life, the Green Dragon still could not accept this result.
"That's right."
Roy nodded and took a few more steps forward. "The old man is very smart. He must know that if he doesn't leave behind these traces, you will soon find them again.
Don't tell me the Black Dragon can teleport again after he loses his power? "
"Hmph."
The Mother of Poison turned her head to look at Roy, her nose twitching as she let out a snort unique to dragons. "Brat, he did the right thing, but that's just creating trouble for us. I can't track down the Black Dragon's exact location right now."
Silvia felt a little uneasy. Logically speaking, the Master of Green Capital, who was powerful and had strong wings, would not care about a weakling who had fled with his tail between his legs.
But this time, she had a bad premonition.
The Mother of Poison had made many enemies over the years, and one of her enemies, Nesatoria, was directly related to that Orc just now.
However, the Mother of Poison did not care much about Nesatoria. She was just a reckless and cruel idiot. In comparison, Silvia was more afraid of this Black Dragon who had just escaped from under her nose and was incapable of magic.
This guy was definitely a disaster.
Be it its dragon-like body that was unbelievably fast and strong, or the elemental resistance it displayed, or the breath of fire and ice that would never appear on a black dragon, all of these proved that this black dragon was undoubtedly a freak.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was a completely different species from the other Black Dragons. Compared to its mother, this strange dragon's threat level was several times higher.
How many years had it been? This guy had already grown to its mother's level, and its body was definitely stronger than Nesatoria's. What would happen in a few more years?
Fortunately, it did not know magic.
Silvia comforted herself, and the uneasiness in her heart lessened.
"Untraceable?
You must be joking. "
Roy smiled and waited until Silvia's gaze was attracted to him before continuing, "There must be a distance limit for a teleportation spell like this, right?
Even if it's you, I'm afraid you can't directly teleport something thousands of miles away here. "
"There is indeed a limit."
Silvia was attracted by his words and nodded with rapt attention. "Even I can only teleport within a range of a hundred miles at most."
"Is that so?
Then let's assume that the old thing had the same ability as you before he died. "
Roy squatted down and picked up a short spear from the ground. He brushed the dust in front of him and marked a point on the ground. "This is our current position."
Then, with this point as the center, he drew a rough circle. "This is a distance of a hundred miles.
The Black Dragon must be within this range. "
"Next, you only need to send your Green Capital Army to search this area without any blind spots. This should not be too difficult for you to do."
Roy stood up again and threw away the short spear. He patted his hands up and down and wiped the dirt off his palms. "Of course, this is only the current distance. As time passes, the range will become larger and larger. If the Black Dragon is smart enough, it is likely that it has already begun to escape."
"So you have to find it and kill it as soon as possible."
"The Brendel family has suffered heavy losses and is now unable to support itself. Please forgive my incompetence for not being able to provide help to our allies."
Roy placed his hand on his chest and bowed to the Green Dragon apologetically. There was no element of falsehood in this sentence. After this battle, his elite soldiers were almost completely exhausted, and he really did not have the strength to participate in the search for the Black Dragon.
"I will leave this matter to you. I must rush back to Kaki and receive my punishment from the Count."
Roy called over his remaining hundred soldiers and mounted his horse. "Farewell, my lady. I wish you success in your hunt."
"Oh, right."
Roy rode a few steps before suddenly turning back. "We cannot let the outside world know of the relationship between the Mother of Poison and the Brendel family. So leave these gossipy adventurers and mercenaries to the Green Capital Army. It seems like your family members are also a little impatient."
"As for the crime, I will place it on the Black Dragon's head for you."
After handing over all the tasks, the young noble squeezed his horse's belly and galloped back to Kaki, the border of the Laiyin Dukedom in the north.
Seeing Roy's back gradually disappear from her sight, the Mother of Poison, Sylvia, finally shifted her gaze. She raised her chin at the adventurers and mercenaries huddled together in the corner of the "pond fish cage" for warmth.
The Ogres and Wyverns immediately roared and pounced forward.
… …
[Escape]
Those that can't kill me will only make me stronger.
My anger grows in hatred and burns in pain.
