LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 376: Dragon’s clones
And even though his strength was in the Specialist realm now, Atlan couldn't disregard a full-on attack from the Queen.
He put his shield in front of him and braced himself.
As the sphere of void and destruction hit his shield, an explosion of pure energy emanated out from the point of impact, obscuring Atlan's vision of the Queen.
Once he pushed past the smoke and leftover energy, Michael saw nothing but an empty sky in front of him. The sword that was supposed to pierce through the Dragon Queen's heart instead pierced through nothing but air.
Atlan stopped himself with a punch, counteracting the force he used to propel himself. Then, he started kicking his legs in the air like a swimmer trying to keep himself afloat.
Since he was originally a porter whose strength lay in their physical strength, Atlan's brute force increased tremendously once he advanced over to the Specialist realm in one go. He felt like he could crush an entire mountain with just one punch.
And he used that force to 'fly' in the air.
GRAOOO!
Before he could look for the Dragon Queen, it initiated a surprise attack and tried to rip him into shreds by swallowing him whole.
Atlan looked back and saw the Dragon's sharp teeth about to close down on his body.
But he didn't worry. A single well-timed Apocalyptic Hellfire arrow from the Huntsman humanoid shot towards the Dragon's throat.
Atlan moved his head slightly to the left as the arrow shot past him and headed straight for the dragon's throat, creating another explosion that propelled Atlan out into safety.
The Dragon Queen coughed, with the bluish-green fire wreaking havoc in its throat and insides.
Atlan could see its skin starting to melt and make a hole in its body. Unfortunately, the Dragon's immense regenerative abilities allowed it to recover relatively quickly.
Of course, Atlan used this opportunity to command his puppets to harass the Queen again, with the Beast humanoid trying to rip the dragon's wings into shreds and the Frog Dragon spewing green acid towards its eyes to try and blind it.
'Enough! We will kill you all!'
The presence of the three dragon clones made themselves clear, creating a very tyrannic environment on the battlefield.
If Atlan hadn't advanced to the Specialist realm temporarily, then he could have possibly suffocated from the mere fact that four dragons existed in the air above him simultaneously.
The three dragons swooped down from the zenith of the sky and headed straight for his puppets, intending to rip them into shreds.
The Prince quickly moved, using his protective bubble to try and protect the other Beast and the Frog Dragon from the assault. The golden bubble expanded, enveloping Atlan and the two puppets in its safety.
The three dragons simultaneously crashed onto the bubble, cracking it into pieces before bursting into nothingness.
The force of three Dragon Queens was far too much for the Prince to defend against. However, it still saved them from certain harm.
The three Dragon clones shook their heads and flew up into the air again, intending to repeat their failed attack.
They thought that once the bubble was destroyed, the Prince had no way of protecting his master and the other puppets.
But they were wrong.
Another bubble expanded outwards from the Prince's body. This time, its golden luster was a lot stronger than before, signifying that its defensive quality had gotten stronger yet again.
After all, his protective bubble was based on the injustice that they were facing.
What could be more unfair than having three dragon clones assaulting them with a surprise attack?
Not only that, because of the White Beauty making a contract with the three good fairies, their powers were also temporarily increased to the Specialist realm.
Meanwhile, the Huntsman continued to fire bluish-green arrows toward the original Malificient Dragon Queen, not letting it recover from its injuries.
However, that was not for long.
The original Dragon Queen raised its injured throat to the skies and opened its mouth, creating yet another shriek that shook everyone's soul.
Then, three more dragon clones came out of the horizon, coming towards the battlefield with the express intent of dominating the battle through an advantage of quantity.
This was perhaps the hardest battle Atlan had ever experienced.
Although he could fight against the four Dragon Queens at the same time, adding another three clones on top of it was far too much.
It would have been good if he could summon more puppets, but that was the limit of his LifeSkill. After all, the buff that he got from the three good fairies only raised his physical strength to the Specialist realm, not his LifeSkills.
To make matters worse, the three dragons on the horizon opened their giant maws, creating a black hole in their mouths and spewing it out in front of them.
The black hole traveled through the air and continued to grow until it stopped in the air.
The three clone dragons flew through the black hole, with their entire body disappearing into the void.
And a fraction of a second later, Atlan felt a disturbance in the air below him. As he looked down, he was alarmed to find out that three black holes had appeared in the thick of the battle.
The three dragons soon emerged from the black holes and immediately rushed toward the Ninth and the rest of the team.
Atlan didn't expect them to have the ability to teleport.
'Hahaha…this is just a little secret of mine. Be proud.' Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
This surprise attack truly shocked Ninth and the rest of the team. They could barely even sit up, much less fight another three dragon clones.
Atlan immediately commanded his puppets, the White Beauty and the Huntsman down on the ground, to protect Ninth and the whole team.
The Huntsman fired off shot after shot, denying one of the dragons that tried to rush toward the humans.
The White Beauty summoned its beast, the Giant Rat, and used it to subdue the other dragon.
However, there was one dragon left.
It rushed towards Ninth and the others, with its maws wide open.
