"What is... that?"

Outside the castle, a group of Casters and Professionals rescuing refugees looked up towards the distance.

Each of them cast Eagle Eye Skill and gazed at the fire-cloud.

But the fire-cloud was too dense and too distant, even Eagle Eye Skill couldn't completely discern it for a while.

"Roar!!!!!!!"

At that moment, a terrifying roar pierced through the rain, the storm, the earthquake, and the cries of countless people, reaching the ears of the Casters and Professionals.

They trembled all over.

One of them exclaimed, "This... seems like... a dragon roar!"

"Dragon roar?"

"No, that's impossible! You must've heard wrong! How could a Giant Dragon possibly come to our Laine Royal Capital in this manner..."

The group was deeply alarmed.

Throughout the Kingdom, natural disasters raged, and both the Sword Saint and the Saint of Magic were absent.

At this moment, they couldn't withstand devastation!

"Roar!!!!!!!"

The dragon roar echoed continuously, becoming ever clearer.

Some of the more knowledgeable Casters and Professionals had already confirmed with about ninety percent certainty that it indeed was a dragon roar!

"Damn! We're doomed! If this dragon is hostile towards us, how do we resist it now?"

"Don't panic! No matter when, the Crossbowmen on the walls are stationed there; they must have already sensed the approaching danger!"

"Right! As long as any unknown aerial monster approaches, the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow will shoot it down; everyone can safely continue the rescue!"

The group shouted loudly, preparing to redirect their efforts towards rescuing.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of terrifying sonic booms erupted.

Upon the walls, at least a dozen Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Cannons fired Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Arrows with terrifying momentum towards the fire-cloud!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

One Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Arrow after another pierced through the sea of fire, carving paths within the fire-cloud!

At this moment, they barely saw some anomalies within the flaming cloud.

A Dragon Wing wrapped in flames softly flapped, and something resembling a tail appeared intermittently in the fire-cloud.

It took only a few breaths.

The gaps carved by the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Arrows in the fiery cloud sea closed again!

At that instant, several more Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Arrows were fired!

Plummeting straight onto the recently positioned monster's body!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Arrows broke through the fiery cloud sea and landed right on the monster.

The shockwave from their collision dispersed all surrounding fire-cloud!

At that moment, everyone clearly saw the true appearance of the monster within the fire-cloud!

It was indeed a dragon!

Its body covered in black scales, reflecting red against the fire-cloud, its chest and abdomen flickered with a bewitching and eerie red glow.

Its blood-red eyes glimmered; even from several kilometers away, it was clearly visible, ferocious to the extreme, making people shudder just by looking.

Yet fortunately, this dragon was hit by the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow. It seemed severely injured; maybe it couldn't reach the Royal Capital?

Many couldn't help but harbor this notion in their minds.

But soon, they discovered something amiss.

From several kilometers away.

Why did the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow look so small?

Stuck on the chest, forelimbs, and other parts of this Giant Dragon, it seemed like a mere twig piercing a person's chest, far too tiny!

Weren't Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Arrows supposed to be at least several meters long? Some even reaching over ten meters! But what was this?

Could it be that in this matter, merchants were cheating by using inferior materials? Damn it! Were they courting death?

But at the next moment, they had no questions left!

The Giant Dragon, which was directly struck by three Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Arrows, lightly flapped its Dragon Wings again, heading towards the Royal Capital!

Yet the spots that were hit revealed not even a trace of blood...

How could this be? It ignored the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow?

Was it a merchant problem or a Giant Dragon problem?

Everyone felt surprise, fear, and anger!

"Roar!!!!!!!"

The Giant Dragon roared again, this time clearly carrying intense rage!

Rumble!!!!!!

At this moment.

A lightning bolt suddenly streaked across the dark sky!

Accompanied by a rumble.

A Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Cannon on the wall was struck directly!

It subsequently exploded in a burst of sparks!

Was this, coincidence?

Boom!!!

Another lightning bolt streaked through.

A nearby Dragon-Hunting Crossbow exploded into smoke and sparks!

Was it truly coincidence?

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lightning continuously fell in succession, each time accurately hitting a Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Cannon, exploding them into fireworks!

Within mere breaths, all Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Cannons atop the wall were cleared!

This was no coincidence!

A terrifying reality became clear in everyone's mind!

These lightning bolts might be under the control of that Giant Dragon!

Then... could the storm? The torrential rain? The earthquake be controlled by the dragon too? If all this were true, what kind of being could achieve this?

Their bodies started to shake uncontrollably.

The fire-cloud drew ever closer, ever closer.

Until it swept past the city wall.

"Don't let it come closer! Attack! Everyone, attack!"

Someone shouted at that moment.

Groups of Casters and Professionals began launching attacks toward the fire-cloud.

Countless Ice Spikes, Wind Blades, Deep Blue Missiles, Five-Colored Beams, Energy-Formed Spider Webs, ropes, and arrows blasted into the fire-cloud.

But.

Many of these spells and attacks, upon nearing the fire-cloud, were burned away, only a few spells truly reached the fire-cloud.
