Chapter 2373: Chapter 1315: An Unexpected Turn of Events (Part 2)

Witnessing this scene, just as Hong Ye instinctively tried to support Little Jie, the black swirling Magic Barrier did not stop, but instead began to contract inward.

In the blink of an eye, an overwhelming pressure akin to Mount Tai descending from the heavens fell upon us, causing our unprepared generals to be pressed to the ground, unable to move an inch.

In our rapidly collapsing camp, the wood fairies floating mid-air were particularly affected, almost all crashing heavily to the ground, their wings pinned down, all they could muster were feeble whimpers.

“Ugh…”

Listening to the surrounding pained groans rising and falling, Leo Ray desperately channeled the Power of Divine Grace, barely managing to straighten his body.

Looking around, not only were the soldiers behind overwhelmed, but even our supporting Tier 5 powerhouses were mostly suppressed to the ground, leaving only the Tier 6 experts standing, albeit with noticeably slowed movements, clearly indicating they were significantly impacted.

“Your Majesty, this truly is a Confinement barrier!”

Yonir instinctively shielded Leo Ray, his pale old face full of solemnity, declared solemnly: “Rest assured, Your Majesty, this old servant will protect you with his life!”

As Yonir finished speaking, Grey Elder also stepped forward, using their bodies to shield Leo Ray.

“Everyone must be careful, the strength of this Tier 6 Confinement barrier is astonishing, likely laid and perfected over three to four hundred years and even using a large amount of high-quality Magic Crystals to achieve this extent.”

Shuert’s hoarse voice also contained an uncontrollable gravity, stating: “It seems these dragons are not as careless as we imagined.”

Saying this, Shuert attempted to revert to his treant form but failed, and even as a Tier 6 three-star, he struggled to move under the pressure, let alone attempt to break the barrier’s constraint.

“Apologies everyone, it’s because we failed to detect the Confinement barrier within the Dragon Mirage.”

Broy, a highly skilled Tier 5 wielder, could not rise, painfully forced against the ground, said: “It’s our fault for causing trouble to you all.”

“Your Majesty the Dwarf Elf need not apologize, the opponent is clearly so calculated that they must have taken corresponding confidentiality measures.”

Leo Ray initially wanted to gesture for Broy not to blame himself, but ultimately couldn’t make the appropriate motion.

Despite Leo Ray’s experience with several Confinement barriers, the feeling of carrying a mountain-like crushing pressure still left him almost breathless.

“But we used so many Detection Scrolls and Perception Spells, why couldn’t we detect any clue about this Confinement barrier?”

Crisis, with beads of sweat on her pale forehead, tried to break free from the restraint as she spoke with difficulty: “It’s simply incomprehensible.”

As a wood fairy, her delicate form bore even greater pressure; although she could barely stand, her once ethereal wings were tightly pressed against her body, undoubtedly greatly restricted.

“The opponent likely used the Dragon Mirage to conceal the energy wave of the Confinement barrier, making it undetectable to us.”

Konet’s situation mirrored Broy’s, also dirt-streaked and forced against the ground, said: “In other words, this is likely a special Confinement barrier designed based on the Dragon Mirage to hide its existence!”

Hearing this, Leo Ray’s eyebrows furrowed even more; this clearly meant the opponent had been planning for a long time.

And the situation is clear now, if we do not find a strategy to break the Confinement barrier soon, our side will likely face total annihilation.

Through observation, it’s already known that the Confinement barrier’s strength is astonishing, our Tier 6 experts can barely approach the barrier’s edge or chant spells, let alone break it.

At least in the short term, our experts finding it impossible to cope with the barrier’s pressure can hardly make effective moves, and the opponent will surely not grant us time to adapt.

While Leo Ray tried to calm his mind, pondering strategies in his head, ten massive figures emerged at the edge of the Confinement barrier ahead, pairs of menacing golden slit pupils flickered in the mist.

Gigantic bodies like moving skyscrapers retracted their massive wing membranes, raised their horned crowns high, jaws filled with sharp teeth, and their thick, gleaming fiery red scales were like invincible armor.

These prominent features unmistakably identified the group as a pack of murderous flame-colored Giant Dragons.

“Treant, Gnome, Wood Fairy, even the ant-like Human Clan, it seems you have figured out the situation.”

The leading Red Dragon, massive in size, slowly revealed itself at the barrier’s edge.

After ensuring our side was imprisoned, it coldly spoke: “We originally planned to deal with you after the ceremony, but surprisingly you came to us, how bold you are.”

The leading Red Dragon’s voice grew more mocking, sweeping over our allies like the Treant, it’s tone increasingly filled with malice: “Apparently, the three great infernos five hundred years ago didn’t teach you a lesson, but rest assured, this time you’ll face the judgment of the flames, turning to ashes in the end.”

“Don’t dream, this time we’ll make you taste failure!”

Broy gritted his teeth; despite his crown falling to the ground, he responded angrily.

Broy said this; Shuert and Crisis also echoed unyieldingly.

“How ridiculous, the anger of the weak is merely a joke to the strong.”

The leading Red Dragon didn’t continue prattling but looked at Leo Ray again, sneered: “As for you insignificant ants, you’ll soon experience utter destruction; today, I’ll make a grand massacre, using your rebellious blood and bodies as a gift to celebrate my King’s coronation.”

After speaking, the leading Red Dragon sneered, turned around, and began gesturing at the other Red Dragons.

The actions were self-evident; it was undoubtedly informing other Red Dragons to come support, as in this chaotic natural mist, even the Dragon Clan struggles to use Communication Magic to connect with each other.

But it is certain, once their…

In this process, Leo Ray sharply noticed.

From previous encounters, it’s easy to discern from the massive body and deeper coloration that the dragon team consists of four Tier 6 and six Tier 5 opponents.

“To prevent incidents like this, I naturally left a backup plan; if this backup could slay all these dragons, and then devise a way to break the Confinement barrier, perhaps a sliver of hope remains.”

As Leo Ray’s mind raced fast, contemplating this, an unexpected change occurred again.

Seizing the moment while the leading Red Dragon pointed and gestured, another Tier 6 Red Dragon, seemingly intentionally standing behind, suddenly opened its tooth-filled mouth and fiercely bit the unsuspicious leader’s neck, Leo Ray vaguely heard the dull crack of dragon scales.

This happened too abruptly; the unprepared leader, feeling the pain, issued a blend of anger and surprise as it attempted to turn and fight back.

Yet the proactive assailant still held the initiative, its blood-stained and scale-shattered mouth instantly flared with light, spraying directly at the wound of its counterpart at close range.

In an instant, the leader’s already bloody neck elicited a wailing, devoid of its previous fierceness and audacity, swiftly engulfed by the searing Dragon Breath.

Although Red Dragons have high resistance to fire, nearly immune to any lower-tier fire system spell, they are vulnerable, and so the leader, overwhelmed, suddenly collapsed, leaving everyone present in a state of utter shock.
