Desolate World - Chapter 106

Ace didn’t surprise that Uriel, the leader of the angels, had an elite template. And it seemed Mars’s guess was right, after learning from the crayfish’s skill crystal, he was promoted to be an elite dragon. As for Erica, she hasn’t changed at all.

The angels’ and the sacred beasts’ levels varied from 15 to 30.

Looking at their powers, Ace sighed in his heart. He felt, if they really clashed, accidents could happen at any time. Ace would try his best to handle this situation, so it wouldn’t go wrong.

Actually, he didn’t worry too much about how the shadows handled the attacks of the angels. As there were many priests in the shadows’ side. And they could enter the shadow if the situation went bad. But, it was only the last resort. After all, they didn’t come here to battle, but to ‘introduce’ themselves to the villagers.

“You must be Ace, someone who used his contributions to pressure my sister to give you preferential treatment. To bring undead here, you must be out of your mind.

Or, It seems you have fallen into the darkness. A greedy person like you indeed could easily be misled by devils,” Uriel said.

‘Aria’s brother? It seems, another naive lamb like Eric. So, no wonder he could easily befriend Eric and Erica,’ Ace thought.

Actually, he didn’t agree to be said to have been misled by the devil. As he was the one that misled the shadows.

Ace then looked at Uriel with a smile. He said, “Good Morning, Mr. Uriel. We met again Eric, Erica. I think you have misunderstood something here. They are not undead, or devils. They are shadows.”

Before Uriel could answer, Erica came forward, and said, “Your sweet words haven’t changed one bit. Right, you are just like your friend, the coward Gon. I have never thought you would betray Boss by telling the undead our location.”

“Yes, I don’t believe you could do that, Mr. Ace. I trusted you,” Eric said in a disbelief expression.

After the two dragons talked, finally Uriel could answer, “Shadow is also a kind of undead. Everyone knows that. As you have betrayed us. You must pay for it!”

“Well, then let’s wait for the Boss to come. Let him decide for himself,” Ace said.

“Nice try, human. You must want to deceive the Boss, like before. I will not let you succeed,” Erica said. She then took a deep breath.

‘Crazy, bit**!’ Ace cursed in his heart.

He then shouted, “Be careful!”

“Leave it to us! Shield formation!” Peter said as he summoned a black tower shield. The other shadow knights also summoned such shields. They then put the shields above their heads.

When he warned the shadows that they would get ‘warm welcome’ and Peter said that the knights would handle the situation until Mars and the rest came. The shadow knights then spread among the other shadows and Ace’s family members.

Looking at more than one hundred knights lifting their shields, made Ace puzzled. For a note. The number of knights was more than half of the shadows’ number. Which then followed by stalkers and then priests.

However, although their number was numerous, they shouldn’t be able to make a tight shield formation. And their levels varied from level 10 to level 48. The highest of course was Peter’s level. Ace worried that such an uneven combination would fall apart easily.

“Shadow’s protection, form!” Ace heard Peter shout.

Then the black tower shields that were held by many shadow knights released black smokes and combined became a half sphere-shaped black barrier. Even if the color was black, Ace could still see the outside of the barrier.

Then, Ace saw Erica’s breath of blue torrent hit the barrier. However, the barrier could block it easily. The blue torrent could only spread on the surface of the barrier, making a cracking noise. A thin layer of ice could be seen being formed on the surface of the black barrier.

“The water vapor was frozen because of the dragon breath. To make the water in the air to be frozen instantly needed a very cold temperature. this breath is horrible,” Cloud said while looking at Erica’s dragon breath.

Ace nodded. He knew how horrible the dragon’s breath was. The earth dragons’ combination of dragon breath could instantly turn the ants black and crispy.

Gon said to him all dragons breathe fire except for ice, lightning, and poison dragons. In the dragma valley, only fire, earth, and ice dragons lived there. So Gon had never seen lightning and poison dragon.

As he saw that the barrier could take a dragon breath, he stopped to worry. He just had to wait until Sofia came, bringing Aria and Mars.

Eric was surprised that his sister would suddenly attack them. In fact, he wasn’t sure if Ace had betrayed them by bringing the undead here. Although Ace’s face looked annoying, he had a good impression of the human guardian. Because, someone who could befriend a pitiful dragon, like Gon, in his opinion, shouldn’t be a bad person.

He didn’t know why his twin sister hated Gon so much. But, he thought the earth dragon was pretty nice, as he often gave them food. His favorite was the grilled fish that Gon made back then. He hadn’t had a chance to ask him. But, he planned to ask for it a few days later.

He was surprised that his sister had prepared to attack them with Ice breath. Although he wanted to stop her, it had already been too late. Because canceling the process of dragon breath could severely damage the dragon’s body. So, he could only pray, Ace and the rest could withstand the attack, as he saw several high-level shadows among them.

Then he saw a big black barrier was created in thin air. The barrier was thick black that made him couldn’t see what was inside. But for some reason, he couldn’t feel the evil energy in it. It was somewhat different from the chaotic dark energy of devils. He wondered what energy it was.
