Chapter 971: The Battle of Sicily Island (Part One)

The giant dragons roared and circled in the sky.

There were so many of these creatures that they were uncountable. Also, these creatures were born to be strong. Both in terms of magic energy and physical strength, each dragon was insanely powerful.

By now, some of them had already landed on the ground. Their large bodies were like mobile destruction machines, and the dragons’ breath could melt through everything.

Fortunately, after managing Sicily Island for the last 1,000 years, the Holy Church had made its headquarters extremely firm and stable.

After the initial chaos, more ear-piercing sirens sounded, and streaks of silver holy flames enveloped the entire island. Waves of glaring light fluttered on the Holy Mountain like ripples, blocking the dragon breaths and the magic attacks. Also, silver magic shields appeared everywhere throughout Sicily Island, protecting all the critical structures.

At the same time, angry roars sounded from the Holy Mountain of the Holy Church.

Like male lions that got their partner taken away during mating, the masters of the Holy Church flew into the air from the Holy Mountain and the other places on Sicily Island like giant groups of bees. With warrior energy flames and magic energy flames burning around them, they battled with the intruders who appeared abruptly.

Shiny flame circles exploded everywhere in the sky.

Each explosion represented the death and fall of a human master or a dragon.

Only masters on or above the Moon-Class Realm could fly in the sky. However, during this time, the lives of Moon-Class Elites weren’t more valuable compared to ants in this chaotic battle. Right now, many of them died and fell from the sky at every second like raindrops.

The roars of the dragons and the shouts of the humans mixed. The scenes at Sicily Island made this place look like Hell.

After the initial shock, Samaras and his peers started making moves.

“These damn dragons! Protect Sicily Island! We need to fight back!”

The young Samaras was a brave holy knight, and he had a strong and firm belief. Although his strength was only at low-tier Eight-Star, the honor that he had for a long time and the self-sacrifice education made him have no thought of backing off. Even though he was facing powerful enemies that he couldn’t defeat, he wouldn’t retreat.

Quickly, this team of holy knights locked their eyes onto a giant dragon that was spitting fire and causing destruction near them, and they rushed over.

“Protect Sicily Island, protect the Holy Mountain, protect… that girl in the Holy Choir. Even if I die in battle, I will be satisfied and pass away in honor!”

Samaras drew his sword and pierced toward the giant creature in front of him.

Right now, such scenes were happening all over the island; Samaras was only one of the many people who were fighting back.

…

In legends, during the Mythical Era, the dragons were the powerful creatures that could rival gods and demons. Each dragon was born to be super talented either at cultivating warrior energy or magic energy. Besides, the powerful bloodline guaranteed that every member of the Dragon Clan could become powerful fighters. As long as enough time passes by, and they mature, any dragons could achieve this even if they didn’t cultivate that hard.

If the dragons had stronger reproductive abilities and more members in the clan, the Mythical Era would have been called the Dragon Era.

After hearing so many legends regarding dragons, humans had a natural disadvantage when facing dragons as they were less confident.

“How dare you invade Sicily Island? This is staining the gods! It doesn’t matter who you are! You have to pay with blood!”

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded from the Holy Mountain in the center of the island and resonated in the region. Then, an eye-piercing light ball dashed out as loud singing of the Holy Song appeared.

At this moment, a giant [Sword of Judgment] that was more than 1,000 meters long suddenly struck down from the sky; the terrifying force in the sword even torn a giant crack in the sky.

Chapter 971: The Battle of Sicily Island (Part Two)

Within an area of one square kilometer, hundreds of dragons couldn’t dodge in time and were touched by the power of this sword, and they whined and turned into dust!

Many holy knights and priests on Sicily Island cheered in excitement.

Finally, a powerful master on the side of the Holy Church moved, and this person instantly wiped away hundreds of giant dragons, raising morale.

However, in the next second, a thunderous roar came from the distant sky.

A giant red figure dashed down from the sky; it was a red dragon whose body was much larger compared to its peers.

Then, this red dragon battled with this powerful master of the Holy Church.

After less than ten minutes of aggressive battle, a series of screams sounded. The powerful master of the Holy Church who had shown impressive strength died! The giant red dragon bit his body into two halves, and limbs and blood fell from the sky!

The giant red dragon raised its head and roared, and it didn’t hide the smugness. As a result, the dragons were stimulated as well.

Suddenly, a white light flashed on the ground, and a series of magic cannons shot out light beams. All these light beams struck onto the red dragon. About a dozen light beams pierced the magic protective sphere around the red dragon, and the rest of the light beams damaged it.

While dragon scales and dragon blood fell down from the sky, the red dragon looked like it was severely injured. As if it were drunk, it staggered in the air and smashed down onto the ground. Before it could roll around and get up, it was surrounded by many low-level holy knights and priests, and these people took this opportunity to beat it when it was down.

Such a scene happened all around Sicily Island.

…

-High up in the sky-

A giant golden dragon with five claws on each of its paws looked down at the island in disdain. Right now, it was surrounded and protected by hundreds of dragons who were much larger than their peers.

While a god-like presence engulfed it, merciless light flashed in this golden dragon’s golden-red eyes, and it sent out spirit energy waves frequently to command the battle on the ground.

-Meanwhile, on the peak of the Holy Mountain-

While holding a scepter and wearing the holy crown, the Pope of the Holy Church stood on the peak of the mountain in a white robe that looked to be condensed from godly light. Right now, he was also surrounded by many top-tier masters of the Holy Church.

This man had white hair and a white beard, and he was paying attention to the battle on the ground while confusion and pity appeared in his eyes.

The Holy Church was caught off guard, but it was slowly turning the situation back around.

The top-tier masters on both sides kept the temporary silence as if they had a tactical understanding with each other, and none of them moved as if they were afraid.

…

The news about Sicily Island getting raided by the dragons utterly shocked the entire continent as if a level 18 tsunami appeared on a calm sea. This news spread around the continent with insane speed.

This was unimaginable!

The people who heard the news instantly thought that it was impossible and believed that it was the funniest joke of the year. Then, they were shocked and still couldn’t believe it! They all thought that the dragons had long disappeared. Next, they wondered where the dragons came from and why they attacked Sicily Island. Lastly, they thought about the outcome of the war; they wondered if the Holy Church had won since this organization was the most dominating force on the continent.

Compared to the appearance of dragons and the attack on Sicily Island, the war between humans and goblins in the Southern Region looked dim and lost its popularity.

Next, all kinds of information were spread out.
