Upon hearing Alex's words, Maggie imdiately jumped to her feet, fists raised high in the air, and let out a triumphant cheer. Scarlet remained silent, but the fiery twin blades she held in her outstretched arms made it clear that she fully supported the decision. Little Blue approached Alex, clutching a magnificent longbow in her hands, her gaze fixed on the nacing dragon.
She then turned to Alex and asked,
"Big Brother, should I release my arrow now?"
And so, the montous battle between these two adversaries was about to comnce. The Final showdown was about to begin.
"Madeline, it's your turn!"
To everyone's surprise, it wasn't Alex who took the initiative to start the battle on the open plains. Instead, it was Madeline, positioned high above the city wall behind them. Upon hearing the command, she opened her eyes and cast a quick glance at the colossal dark dragon looming ahead. With a gentle movent of her finger, she traced intricate runes in the air, causing them to spiral around her.
Unwavering, Madeline tapped her finger in the empty space.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of spells transford into a powerful, whistling torrent of magic, aid directly at Bahamut's clone, ready to unleash its force.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Only three minutes had passed between his escape and Alex's command. In that brief span of ti, before Bahamut's clone had a chance to fully recover from the devastating void storm, he was t with a dazzling onslaught of lethal magical brilliance. Startled, he urgently spread his wings to shield his massive body. A gray barrier enveloped him, just as Madeline's spells crashed into him.
The sky erupted in a blinding flash of light, and his colossal form was swallowed by the magical explosions.
Fortunately for him, the distance between Madeline and him worked in his favor. Most of the spells she unleashed were intended for long-range attacks. While she had the ability to gather everyone's skills and release them in a single wave, the effectiveness of the spells themselves was limited by distance.
The reason Madeline had been able to clear the battlefield of Chaos creatures earlier was because they had been both near and far from her. None of them could escape her offensive skills. But with Ion now positioned too far away, only the long-range attack spells were able to cause damage. The close-range skills couldn't reach him at all.
If Bahamut's clone had been beside Madeline at this mont, the wave of spells would have been devastating enough to ensure his failure.
Even though Madeline's attack consisted solely of long-range skills, the combined power was still impressive enough to leave Bahamut's clone covered in filthy dust. Having already endured the effects of the void storm earlier, he wasn't in perfect condition. And now, before he could regain his composure, Alex's forces had launched their assault.
Furious, Bahamut's clone let out a thunderous roar as the smoke from the explosion cleared. Bursting out of the smoke, he spread his massive wings and soared high into the sky. Despite his wretched appearance, he was still a powerful Dragon. Furthermore, being influenced by Chaos had granted him an endless source of power. Though montarily exhausted, he was not easily defeated.
Madeline's wave of attack had applied pressure, but it hadn't caused significant damage. The dark dragon, Bahamut's clone was now enraged. Flapping his massive wings, he charged straight towards the steel fortress before him.
"Fire all cannons! Blast him down!" Alex commanded, determined to bring down the formidable foe.
As Alex stood on the ground, his gaze towards the enemy turned ice-cold. In response to his command, the thick iron plates of the steel city slid open once again, revealing nurous cannon barrels that rolled out and aid towards the sky. Within monts, a series of flares exploded from the city walls, bombarding Ion with a storm of cannon fire.
Despite the power behind the cannon blasts, they barely scratched Ion's tough scales. The sa blasts that could create large craters on the land only ignited his body. The damage seed to have little effect on him. With his wings spread, he swooped down, opening his jaw wide as a pitch-black energy gathered in his throat.
"Little Blue, do it! Use your special arrow!" Alex commanded, his eyes glinting with a murderous intent. He snorted and gave the order swiftly. Little Blue, standing beside him, nodded attentively. She raised the longbow in her hands, focused her gaze on the formidable enemy, and gradually pulled the bowstring. As she did, a pitch-black arrow materialized in her hand.
And then, she released her grip on her right fingers. The arrow of her Gift had been set free, draining her strength in the process.
Whoosh———!
In an instant, a black brilliance flashed before disappearing from view. The dark dragon's power had reached its peak. With his head held high, he prepared to unleash his flas and annihilate those pathetic insects. But in that mont, a dark glow suddenly appeared in his eyes. Without warning, an arrow silently flew through space and ruthlessly pierced his right eye.
"Ahhhhhh!"
He never expected such a turn of events. All he felt was a searing pain in his eye. Then, a toxic gas erupted, leaving him disoriented and dizzy. In an instant, he lost his sense of direction. He struggled to lower his head and release his dragon breath in a fit of rage. However, due to the arrow from little Blue, he instinctively turned around, causing his fiery breath to miss the steel city walls.
Instead, it exploded in the empty field behind him.
In that mont, she extended her finger, pointing it at Bahamut's clone, and tapped gently.
Boom!
A radiant golden column of light descended from the sky, striking him with great force. This ti, he couldn't hold on any longer after Madeline's attack. Previously, he had been too far away for her to use close-range skills against him. But now, as he drew closer, Madeline unleashed all her mid-range and close-range skills.
The number of skills she used was almost double or even more than double compared to before! He couldn't withstand it any longer. He scread and plumted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground. In the aftermath of the collision, a mushroom cloud of smoke rose, accompanied by his furious roar.
"You bastards. How dare you conspire against . I'll kill you all!".
"3rd and 4th squads, move to the left! 2nd squad, cover our backs! The rest, follow to the right. Let's go!"
In the face of Bahamut's clone fury, Alex remained incredibly composed. The roar of Bahamut's clone sounded aningless, like the final words of a defeated boss. At this mont, Alex and his group had fully recovered their strength. They had only expended so energy while escaping the void storm earlier.
Now that they were on the main continent, their connection with mana had been restored and strengthened. Alex could have taken on Bahamut's clone alone, but he chose to rely on his team. Commanding them was enjoyable in its own right. It gave him a sense of power and control that was quite addictive.
Well, the fight was about to reach its climax.
