Chapter 445 [0442] Loving Mother and Filial Daughter
"That's it!" Karya said confidently, "I'm very familiar with dragons - I've seen all kinds of elemental dragons and even rare ancient dragons."
"Ancient dragons, it sounds very old." Ino blinked, "Is it a dragon that has lived for a very long time?"
"In fact, it is a dragon that has absorbed enough elemental power." Karya laughed, "The lifespan of elemental dragons is not very long. Only a few dragons that have absorbed huge amounts of elemental power can break through the limit and temper themselves into a more powerful existence, that is, ancient dragons. Ancient dragons that break through naturally are all long-lived, but if human intervention is carried out, ordinary elemental dragons can also break through. For the ancient dragon. "
"Use artificial infusion of a large amount of elemental power?" Ino thought, "Can we even use this condition to bargain with the elemental dragon?"
"That's right." Karya confirmed Ino's guess, "So, Fosbyro has the basic conditions for raising elemental dragons. There are a large number of mages gathered there. Elemental dragons will be happy to live nearby and be nourished by the dissipated elemental tides-and as landlords, we can naturally recruit elemental dragons as our soldiers. Everyone wins. "
Although Ino wanted to complain about Karya's win-win theory, according to him, it seems that this is indeed a win-win for both parties. In the end, Ino could only nod.
……………………
Even if you can find the elemental tracks left by the dragon's flight, it is not a simple thing to really keep up with the speed of the elemental dragon.
For people walking on the ground, the complex ground conditions around the Green Tooth Peak will greatly hinder the speed of movement. Even if the flying speed of this elemental dragon is not fast, it is probably difficult to keep up.
Fortunately, Ino's floating ice can be regarded as an "all-terrain automatic mount" in a sense. Without considering the consumption of mana, it can move forward quickly in a way that is almost "flying close to the ground", so that it can barely keep up with the flight trajectory of the elemental dragon.
Finally, at the western foot of Greentooth Peak, Ino finally saw with his own eyes that the elemental trajectory of the elemental dragon's flight disappeared in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain in front.
Without any hesitation, Ino drove the floating ice into the dense forest.
The trees here are very lush, but because it is located on the bank of a large river, most of the trees in the dense forest are medium and low trees such as bridge willows, Demacia water cattails, and green tooth elms.
Considering the height of the elemental dragon, although this forest is dense, it should not be able to cover the dragon's body.
However, after turning around in this forest twice, Ino did not find the existence of a dragon-and not only was there no elemental dragon, but there was no elemental trajectory caused by the action of the elemental dragon.
"It's really strange." Kalya, who failed to find the elemental dragon, was also a little surprised. "From the elemental track just now, this is at least a sub-adult individual, and it is almost impossible to be other creatures... How come there is no shadow of a dragon in the place where the elemental track disappeared?"
Ino naturally couldn't answer this question. She could only grin, and then drove the ice floe into the woods again, trying to find the disappeared dragon.
This time, the elemental dragon was still not seen, but in the woods in the wilderness, Ino found a young girl.
Um, wait, girl?
There is no village in front and no shop behind, why is there a lonely young girl whose face can't be seen clearly?
You know, the ecological environment of Demacia is very good, especially in the border mountains and hills such as Greentooth Peak, Lunwall, and Urwendale. The land in these places is uneven and difficult to be reclaimed as farmland, so the number of wild animals is not small at all.
Ordinary people come to the dense forest in the wilderness alone, which is almost like sending a buffet to the wild beasts!
Now this girl appeared alone in a place that was probably hundreds of miles away from the nearest village or town. Ino realized something was wrong at the first time.
With a vigilant heart, Ino held up an ice shield while driving the floating ice to approach carefully.
"This girl." Dozens of steps away, Ino finally spoke, "Are you lost?"
The other party did not answer.
"If you are lost, I can take you away." Ino continued to approach, and continued, "It's late, and there are likely to be wild beasts here!"
"You should leave here." The two sides were getting closer and closer, and the other party finally stopped being silent, "Stay away from here, mage, I feel the magic power on you..."
Hmm?
Is this also a demon infected?
In Demacia, there are also cases where the demon infected are in serious condition and run to live in the deserted wilderness to avoid being exiled or imprisoned in the forbidden magic prison.
Then, just when Ino wanted to say a few words of comfort, she finally saw the face under the other party's hood.
This is a very wild face, and there are even red and black lines on the cheeks that are like scales and jade. When seeing this face, Ino's first feeling is fierceness and wildness.
Ino's eyes narrowed slightly, and fell on the other person's eyes at the first time, and then she saw a pair of eyes that looked like snake pupils with vertical pupils.
Looking at this face, Ino immediately remembered what Karya said to her when she told her about the Asian dragon dog.
Snake pupils, scales, this is completely consistent with what Karya told her about the characteristics of the dragonborn!
A human-shaped dragonborn, could it be...
Trying to control his expression, Ino kept reminding himself, "Be polite and don't have too much prejudice against dragons and people's emotional problems."
"Get out of here." The other party obviously didn't know what Ino was thinking, so he urged directly, "You're right, it's very dangerous here - so, leave quickly."
"Did you see a dragon?" Ino calmed down and fixed his eyes firmly on the other person's face. "I saw a dragon falling in this forest."
The other party obviously didn't expect that Ino would ask this question so directly, and panic flashed across his face.
Although she shook her head quickly, Ino didn't even need Kalya's reminder to read the "correct answer" on her face: she saw the dragon.
"Don't be nervous, young lady." Ino spread his hands and showed no hostility, "You see, I am a spell caster myself, so I don't have any hostility towards magical animals..."
"Get out of here, quickly!" The other party obviously didn't want to listen to Ino's explanation, "She's coming!"
Ino was a little confused after being interrupted.
What's coming?
That dragon?
Just in time to come!
……………………
Shyvana was anxious.
This dense forest by the river was the place she carefully selected for the decisive battle with her mother.
There are lush trees here, making it easier for you to hide and launch surprise attacks; and it is located near the water, and the abundant water element resources can greatly suppress your mother's affinity for the fire element.
Although every previous battle between Shyvana and Ivar almost ended with being beaten one-sidedly and having to flee in embarrassment, Shyvana has also discovered many seemingly insignificant things in her pursuit and escape. small advantage.
Compared with Ivar who loves the fire element, Shyvana can also use the power of some other elements to fight in addition to the fire element - although the breath is also dragon fire, and other elements are not as easy to control as the fire element, but at least not It's a side effect.
In addition, the transformation between human form and dragon form is also a very important advantage of Shyvana. Although the human form is fragile and easily injured, the body is smaller, more flexible, and harder to be discovered. She can escape from Ivar's hands. Changing forms at any time is the most important thing. Every time when she is almost killed by her mother, Shyvana will recover her body and hide in the battlefield of elemental chaos, so that the furious Ivar can't find her for a while. Then wait for an opportunity to escape.
It is precisely based on these advantages that Shyvana chose this dense forest at the foot of the mountain next to the river as the venue for the next battle with Ivar. Here she has the elemental advantage bonus, and she can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. Waiting for work with ease.
What she never expected was that while she was resting in human form, waiting for Ivar to arrive and launch a sneak attack, a mortal would come over!
If a mortal comes here, isn't that causing trouble?
Therefore, Shyvana didn't care what Ino said and kept urging him to leave - she had just revealed her dragon form, and if nothing else happened, Iva was already on the way!
It's a pity that Ino doesn't understand the grudges between Sivana and Iva at all, and is still following her own ideas to make the other party believe that she has no hostility, so that she can "talk about win-win issues."
Fortunately, Kalya realized something was wrong.
"This dragon is very unusual." Kalya stopped Ino from continuing to talk, "She is not an elemental dragon in the normal sense, but an individual with special mutations."
"Wait, you mean, she is an elemental dragon?!" Ino's eyes widened in astonishment, "She is not the descendant of a human and a dragon? But that dragon?"
"How can humans and dragons easily give birth to offspring!" Ino's words made Kalya almost breathless. "In Naerimaji, I clearly told you about the requirements for the hybridization of magical creatures - how can humans and dragons have such a possible?!"
"But she does seem to fit the characteristics of a dragonborn." Although Ino realized that her thoughts were going astray, she couldn't help but explain, "Besides, you never said that dragons can become humans. Looks like that!”
"So she should be a very special existence." Kalya couldn't say anything at the moment, so she could only explain, "However, generally speaking, special mutated individuals will be rejected by the elemental dragon - maybe This is the reason why the old Ssangyong Club was in charge.”
"So when she said 'it's coming', she actually meant another elemental dragon?" Ino said suddenly, "Then what should we do?"
"Let's take a look at the attitudes of both parties first." Kalya already knew it in his mind, "Besides, we haven't seen the other dragon yet. If it is the descendant of one of my old friends, then things will be different."
……………………
Just as Ino and Kalya were communicating quickly and silently, another elemental dragon left a long trail of fire elements in the sky, roaring toward the riverside.
Compared to Shyvana, the elemental trails left by Ivar were undoubtedly more scorching, and unlike Shyvana's caution, Ivar did not move under the cover of the mountain clouds, but just walked unscrupulously and carelessly in the green. The Demacia garrison on the Teeth Peak flew overhead, heading straight for Shyvana.
She has fully recovered from her injuries from the battle with Shyvana. This time, she will not give Shyvana any chance to escape!
Absolutely not!
Feeling the positioning brought by his bloodline, Ivar went straight to the river. After circling twice in the sky, he took a deep breath.
Shyvana grew up rapidly during the battle with Ivar, but didn't Ivar get to know her more and more as a "rebellious girl"?
Shyvana had already used the despicable act of sneak attack in disgusting human form more than once before. After confirming that Shyvana was nearby through the perception of blood connection, Iva simply spit out the dragon flame and ignited it. This forest by the river!
Instead of waiting for you to make a sneak attack, why don't I just alert the enemy!
Raging dragon flames fell from the sky, and the scorching dragon fire quickly caused the green leaves in early autumn to wither and turn yellow before being completely ignited.
Even though this place is located next to a river and the trees have extremely high water content, they still quickly burned after Ivar took a deep breath!
Under the high temperature, the fire began to spread rapidly. After Ivar finished breathing, he quickly increased his flying altitude and began to circle around the woods again, waiting for Shyvana to appear.
The weak human form cannot withstand the high temperature of dragon flames. If she does not want to be roasted, Shyvana, a rebellious woman, must show her dragon form!
And in such a low forest, as long as you show the form of a dragon, you will definitely be discovered by me - want to rely on the favorable environment to ambush me? You are still too young!
Faced with Ivar's behavior of using "field magic" from the very beginning, Shyvana really had no good solution.
The human form is too fragile. As the fire spreads, if you don't want to be burned to death, you can only transform into a dragon!
Now it seemed that the delay was useless. Realizing this, Shyvana looked at the "stunned" Ino again and whispered another reminder: "Avoid the fire and run to the east."
After she finished speaking, she roared, and her body quickly underwent astonishing changes.
The scales spread quickly from her cheeks and arms, and soon covered her whole body. As the scales spread, her limbs and body were quickly elongated. Under the hood, what originally looked like an ornament The ordinary head horns also stretched, connected, and fit into each other. In just a few breaths, Shyvana transformed from a wild girl into a slightly slender sub-adult dragon!
Putting her wings on the ground, Shyvana flapped her wings straight into the sky in an almost "catapult-start" manner, and pounced on Ivar, who was hovering above the flames.
Seeing the rebellious girl appear, Iva let out a proud roar - the elemental dragons have high IQs. Although most of them had no language skills before becoming ancient dragons, their roaring tones can express themselves very clearly. their emotions.
In Ivar's roar, there was joy, excitement, excitement, and a bit of violent bloodthirst.
"Did you find anything?" Ino asked Kalya while summoning the ice floes again, away from the increasingly strong fire, "Is this new dragon your familiar... familiar dragon? "
"No." Kalya answered quickly, "She is not a descendant of any ancient dragon I know."
"How can you tell the difference?" Ino asked curiously, "It's been so many generations!"
"After all, we are old comrades who have fought side by side. Several ancient dragons related to the Shurima Empire have excellent control of the power of the elements." Kalya explained as if casually telling the story of an old friend. , "And under the leadership of those ancient dragons, many elemental dragons at that time had certain spell-like abilities."
"In other words, the elemental dragons related to the Shurima Empire all use some magic?" Ino blinked, "Elemental magic?"
"It's not casting a spell, it's just the instinctive use of elements." Kalya denied the idea of elemental magic. "How to put it...the elemental dragons are thick-skinned and have amazing elemental resistance, so they can use the most primitive magic. The method is to directly manipulate the elements, which is different from constructing a spell model and infusing magic power. The elemental dragon directly gathers the power of the elements and then sprays it out. I don’t know what it will be like, but it will always be destructive. "
Ino was a little surprised when he heard this - the description of spell-like ability is really appropriate. If it is really what Kalya said, then this is indeed not considered spell casting.
"Both of these two dragons have no intention of using spell-like abilities. If they start talking, it must be because the wild dragon has not escaped." Kalya concluded, "The wild dragon may not be able to communicate very well and has to rely on his fists to speak. "
"But I see that one of those things that can turn into a human seems to be able to communicate?"
"So we have to treat these two dragons differently." Kalya concluded, "In this case, let's get over it first!"
……………………
Shyvana struggled to cope with Ivar's offensive.
As a "prime" female dragon, Iva is not only physically strong and powerful, but also has considerable experience in both hunting and fighting.
Except for the time when she met a scum dragon many years ago and was bullied once by the other party's weird trick that looked like dragon's breath but was not dragon's breath, and finally became a mother half-heartedly, she had never met a rival.
Facing Shyvana, Ivar felt "there is pressure, but not much".
Shyvana's body was still too slender and her fighting skills were extremely immature. Under Ivar's fierce minions attack, she could only barely hold on in a hurry, with almost no chance to fight back.
Every time the four dragon wings of the two dragons flapped against each other, Shyvana couldn't bear it.
When the two dragons gnawed at each other, Shyvana was always more seriously injured.
Relying on his physical advantage, Iva completely suppressed Shyvana, and even managed to divert some of his attention to prevent Shyvana from escaping from him as quickly as before.
This time, Iva was determined to eliminate this shameful rebellious woman on the spot!
Injury for injury, blood for blood!
In such a fierce battle, Shyvana would soon be unable to hold on.
Her scales, which had not yet fully formed, were too fragile in front of Iva, and even the scratching of the dragon's claws could lift Shyvana's scales without even gnawing on them.
Although the injury was not fatal and Shyvana could endure the pain, as the battle progressed and the injury gradually accumulated, the damage caused by Iva's gnawing and scratching on Shyvana would only become more and more serious!
If this continued, Shyvana would sooner or later not be able to hold on!
The raid that was originally prepared was destroyed by a fire. Shyvana had no choice but to start the backup plan and began to actively approach the water surface, intending to use the abundant water elements for self-healing and weakening Iva's combat effectiveness at the same time.
In an awkward manner, Shyvana plunged into the river beside the woods, and the blood of the dragon dyed a section of the river red.
Seeing this, Iva roared excitedly, followed her relentlessly, and plunged into the river, intending to drown this rebellious girl in his blood.
However, a moment later, Shyvana emerged from the water, and the whole dragon looked much better; and behind her, when Iva emerged from the water, she looked a little sick, and something was obviously wrong...
Apparently, the two dragons have completely different degrees of adaptability to the water element. The water element can nourish Shyvana's body, but it will make Iva weak and mute.
Iva, who discovered this problem, could only temporarily slow down his offensive, falling behind Shyvana while shaking his body until he completely got rid of the wet feeling, and then he spoke again and spit out a stream of flames.
Bending his slender neck, Iva let the not-so-hot dragon breath sweep through his scales, and the whole dragon's spirit was lifted.
After getting ready, Iva pounced on Shyvana again and began to tear off her scales again.
After a fight, Shyvana, who was at a disadvantage in the battle, used the same trick again and plunged into the water again.
But this time, Iva, who had learned his lesson, did not rush into the water stupidly, but hovered low over the water, waiting for Shyvana to emerge so that he could give her a fatal blow!
Iva could see clearly that although this rebellious girl could be nourished by the water element, it seemed that she could not swim for a long time and leave with the help of water.
The surging dragon blood in the river marked Shyvana's location, and Iva waited at the place where the blood was gurgling, waiting for Shyvana to emerge!
Then, just as Iva was waiting, a piece of floating ice began to spread rapidly on the river bank. On the floating ice, a mortal girl with long silver-white hair was rushing towards the battlefield.
Iva, who was waiting for Shyvana to show up, glanced at the mortal who appeared at this time, and impatiently blew a breath of dragon's breath over, intending to clean up this ignorant ant.
However, what she never expected was that when the dragon breath was spit out, a low temperature that even a giant dragon would feel began to spread on the river.
Under the extreme cold, the hot dragon fire breath was exhausted in mid-air. Within three feet of Iva, snowflakes began to float in the air, and fine frost flowers appeared on her scales, and then began to spread rapidly, forming a thin layer of ice shell at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At this moment, Iva finally realized that something was wrong. She flapped her strong and powerful wings with all her strength, sweeping away the floating ice on her body while trying to escape from the extreme cold.
But at this moment, Shyvana under the water launched again.
Caught off guard, Iva was bitten on the neck directly, and the two dragons twisted together, and finally fell from a low altitude, hitting the ice surface that had just frozen.
Ice chips flew.
Karya's small class · Spell-like ability:
After cooperating with the Shurimans, many elemental dragons have learned to gather elemental energy and throw it out like humans - however, they do not build spell models like humans, allowing elemental power to form spells in a relatively stable and purposeful way, but purely use it as a dangerous energy group to attack the enemy. This method is called spell-like ability by Shurima University. In addition to elemental dragons, many magical creatures also have similar spell-like abilities.
PS. Today's chapter is relatively long, and it feels bad to break it, so I will post a large chapter. It's a bit late, sorry!
