Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 374 Attack

"Dragon?! Are you saying that my city is under attack by both Sea Creatures and Dragons?!" Lola exclaimed as soon as she heard this ridiculous statement.

Although she was a sinful woman who had caused the death of her senior sister, she shouldn't have committed a crime that would deserve this kind of treatment…

This city has over a hundred thousand people. She has built this place using her wealth and skills as a Formation Arts Master. Furthermore, she managed to develop the surrounding land and created a livable and safe place.

There were no bandits around this region thanks to her relentless efforts of eliminating them and making a safe environment for merchant caravans to travel back and forth. She would always keep her citizens happy and kept the taxes really low so her pioneering businessmen would have an easier time developing.

If a Dragon is really going to attack them now, Lola can only guess how many attacks could her Formation Barrier hold against this mighty creature.

Perhaps five attacks… or maybe three…

If this Dragon that exists only in folktales is one that can use its Dragon Breathe, maybe her Formation Barrier may not even block a single attack.

She needs to make a quick decision in order to save as many people as she can! She then used various surveillance systems they have to monitor the incoming blue dragon.

As soon as she confirmed it with her own eyes, she no longer hesitated.

"Tsk… I didn't think that I would have to use this method… We have no other choice… Activate the Anti-Celestial Defense!"

Lola decisively ordered as the people in the command center understood her intention.

The Anti-Celestial Defense that they have wasn't even used once during the Sea Creatures' invasion. They weren't in that desperate situation after all. At most, they were thinking that they would only use this as a final defense if the Sea King has already made its move to attack them.

However, the situation now is different. The incoming dragon has enormous power that could flatten their city if they did not do something about it.

In addition to that, it's already getting dark as well and the sea creatures might think of attacking again to exhaust them…

If they are going to fight the dragon, they have to make it quick. They have to show that they could pose a threat to its existence and hope that it would be injured and flee.

Soon, everyone in the city realized the sudden change in the Formation Arts. The atmosphere turned colder and the circulation of mana in the surroundings started moving insanely fast.

Yulia noticed this as well but she checked the sea using her Darkness Eye but she didn't sense the arrival of Sea Creatures yet…

'What's going on?' Yulia mused for a moment as she tried looking elsewhere… Perhaps, she might've missed something…

However, before she could do that, she sensed the location of the most concentrated amount of mana and it was not facing the sea!

It's on the opposite side!

Are they being pinned by their enemies?!

Yulia jolted up after reaching this thought as she quickly used her Darkness Mystic Eye to sense the changes in the surrounding mana.

"Huh?"

Yulia was speechless as soon as she realized what was going on…

This city actually has some sort of Mana Cannon in the form of huge satellite infrastructure. This huge device is like an inverted umbrella and is forming a very concentrated violent Mana!

If Vincent was here, he would notice that the danger level it has reached is probably similar to or above the Mana Cataclysm!

It is incredibly powerful that the citizens started getting worried. They weren't informed about this sudden situation after all.

"W-wait…"

As Yulia continued spreading her senses, she finally found the opponent that Lola was targeting!

It was indeed a large creature that she couldn't identify… However, it was oddly familiar to her but she couldn't figure it out…

It took her a few more seconds to recognize the aura and she immediately rushed to the command center while taking out the communication crystal connected to Lola.

"Please answer!"

Yulia nervously said as she poured her mana into the crystal. This isn't an automatic messaging system after all. The other end must accept the connection and it might be too late if Lola was too busy to notice this…

The one they are targeting is none other than Krusk in his dragon form. Although she hadn't seen his dragon form yet, Calidia already notified her about his appearance and they were sure that he was the one sent by Vincent to handle the Sea King and its army!

To be honest, she also wanted to ask for Krusk's help considering he's a mighty Mythical Beast that could fight in the water. However, Krusk wasn't really an approachable being and everyone knows that he didn't like fighting unless it is related to the Overseer.

However, it seems that Vincent managed to convince the young Mythical Beast and was sent here as a surprise.

The problem is that Vincent seems to have forgotten that Lola hadn't seen Krusk's real form yet.

Yulia doesn't even know if Lola is aware of Krusk's real identity.

Anyway, she needs to hurry and clear up this misunderstanding.

Boom!

Suddenly a deafening sound was heard and Yulia couldn't help but glance back at the huge satellite that was pointed at the incoming dragon.

It was too late!

What she has feared had come true! A pillar of blue and black light surrounding by lightning arcs headed towards the Blue Dragon!

It happened so quickly…

"Ugh! Not good!" Yulia didn't have the time to blame Vincent for this surprise he prepared. Vincent probably didn't think that Lola would react this way or perhaps, Vincent wasn't even thinking at all.

As soon as she arrived in front of the command center, Lola finally answered the call.

"Don't worry… I know that you're worried about the creature that is attacking us on the other side. We have already dealt with… Even if it's not dead yet, I'm sure that it's already heavily injured…" Lola suddenly said as Yulia almost despaired.

That attack could kill a Mythical Beast?

She was unable to react after hearing this as she nervously looked behind to find out the fate of the River Dragon…
