Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 397: 415 The Protective Shield Cracked_1

“Boom…”

Stania, which had been flying smoothly in the sky, suddenly experienced continuous vibrations throughout the Floating City.

Unlike before, this time the source of the vibrations seemed to come from an even more core area of Stania.

Some who had a certain understanding of Stania had noticed that something was off; it seemed that the vibrations originated from Stania’s most important energy reserve room.

Inside that top-secret area, where only a few Stania citizens could enter, the turbine responsible for energy transportation whined due to the extreme heat it was generating from friction.

On the other hand, a large amount of energy was rapidly transported to the barrel of Stania’s most powerful Magic Cannon, the Cannon of Truth.

With the terrifying size of the Cannon of Truth, even loading the required energy for firing takes a considerable amount of time.

At this moment, fat old man Paton looked serious, focusing entirely on the Cannon of Truth, while thin old man Chris was assisting him on the side.

While they were busy with their tasks, Otto, who was outside the city, stared at the gigantic cannon below Stania, which had begun to move slowly.

The massive barrel was gradually moving back and forth, the rough cannon body scratching against the surrounding rocks, making a screeching noise.

As a huge amount of magic power was infused into the body of the cannon, a complex and delicate giant Magic Array slowly appeared at the muzzle of the black cannon.

As the Magic Array grew brighter, an incomprehensible magic gathering made up of irregular glowing shapes condensed rapidly at the muzzle.

It was easy to deduce from that glowing object that it was a terrifying magic gathering.

Its power was immense, to the point that even Stania’s normal operations were affected by the loss of the magic power.

It was apparent that Stania’s flight height had been significantly reduced due to the leakage of large amounts of magic power.

This fact was enough to prove just how immense and exaggerated the amount of power injected into the Cannon of Truth was in such a short time.

Flying below, Otto would not wait foolishly for an attack from above; his eyes were narrowed, focused on Stania’s protective shield.

It seemed that the intensity of the protective shield had significantly weakened due to the loss of a large amount of magic power from Stania.

The part of the shield that was covered by Otto’s Strong Acid was beginning to look a bit transparent.

By using its most powerful weapon, Stania had greatly reduced its defense capability.

Naturally, Otto would not miss such an opportunity, but he did not want to expose all of his abilities too early, so he still had not used his Multi-headed Regeneration ability.

A protective shield with insufficient energy was nothing more than a head, and Otto was confident that he could handle it well.

Therefore, he quickly took a deep breath, and the terrifying Power of Thunderflame brewed rapidly in his mouth.

At the same time, the irregular glowing object at the muzzle of the Cannon of Truth grew larger, its shape becoming more and more distorted.

Anyone could tell that it was about to reach its critical point.

Before that could happen, Otto’s breath weapon had already been prepared!

“Roar!”

Without hesitation, accompanied by a thundering dragon roar, a fan-shaped Blazing Flame mixed with dense, terrifying electric arcs swiftly assaulted Stania.

The space that the breath swept over seemed distorted due to the high temperature, and people on Stania’s surface could still feel the scorching heat even from a distance.

Such a terrifying breath attack, in terms of power alone, might not be much different from the massive Star Falling Fireball they had faced earlier.

However, that Star Falling Fireball had the full support of the entire Floating City of Stania.

But the black dragon below simply relied on itself.

Seeing this, it seemed as if the black dragon could become an existence equivalent to Stania.

Ha, how could that be possible…

But soon, most people found this idea very absurd.

Now was no longer the age of Giant Dragon Titans. Dragons were not an invincible existence either.

As for those archmages who had slain dragons, there was more than one of them in Stania alone.

Though the black dragon’s breath weapon looked terrifying, it seemed to be only for show.

Most people in Stania still held this belief in their hearts.

But was it really like this?

The wide-ranging Thunderflame Breath quickly slammed into Stania’s shield, causing a massive explosion.

The thundering sound shook both the heavens and the earth, but the frightening Thunderflame Breath was like a wave hitting an invisible wall, stopping its attack abruptly and being blocked outside Stania’s shield.

See, although the black dragon’s breath had a lot of momentum, it was, after all, just a bit terrifying to look at.

Some bold young spellcasters even poked their heads out to withstand the temperature, taunting and mocking Otto below mercilessly.

“Foolishness, it seems to be the nature of lowly creatures like humans…”

Maintaining the Thunderflame Breath and watching the ugly behavior of the people above, Otto couldn’t help but let out such a sigh.

But soon, he shook his head, remembering that he too was once part of those foolish low-level beings.

“Crack…”

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.

A young spellcaster who noticed the sound furrowed his brows and asked the companion beside him: “Did you hear anything?”

His companion didn’t seem to notice the small detail. He looked puzzled for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he didn’t see anything unusual.

“Crack…”

Another crisp sound, and this time, many people heard it. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and a sense of foreboding slowly emerged.

“Crack…crack…”

Quickly, the crisp sounds were continuously heard, and many people discovered the source of the sound.

Then, a young spellcaster yelled at the top of his voice: “Damn it, our shield is cracked!”

As he said this, small cracks appeared on the protective shield beneath Stania’s tower.

Soon, these cracks grew larger and larger, spreading like a shattered eggshell, followed by numerous small gaps appearing within the cracks.
