Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 511: 499 Delay time
At this moment, Blackstone Floating City had almost descended into chaos.

A large number of Black Iron Dwarves and other races responsible for daily maintenance and construction began carpet-like searches for something.

But no matter how hard they tried, they ended up with nothing.

After all, the Shadow Lord was a renowned deity, and this time he came prepared; naturally, he couldn’t be easily found by ordinary creatures.

Just below the eyelids of the many search parties, a gray, hazy figure slowly sank into the ground of the floating city.

This hazy figure was, of course, the Shadow Lord.

He quickly found the main lines in the complicated and numerous magic pipelines under the Floating City, within just a short amount of time.

Next, all he had to do was follow this main line to find the core of the floating city.

Allowing such a powerful entity to approach the core would be extremely dangerous for any ordinary floating city.

By that time, destroying the massive floating city would merely be a simple, effortless action for the Shadow Lord.

However, the Shadow Lord had better ways of dealing with Blackstone Floating City.

In his opinion, as long as he could get close to the core of the floating city, he would have a great chance of taking control and claiming this valuable city as his own.

Tch, getting excited just thinking about it…

As the Shadow Lord continued to move along the route while thinking about this, he suddenly noticed an anomaly.

A special current was attacking along the line he was following, and, as a reflex, the Shadow Lord immediately floated to another line.

So, was this an accident?

Just as he thought this, another special current attacked him in the same way.

Now, the Shadow Lord was certain that his presence had been exposed.

Before he could think any further, more intensive special currents attacked along the surrounding magic lines, jumping between different lines.

Eventually, an irregular net-like structure formed and began to envelop the Shadow Lord, and behind this special net, a comical evil spirit face emerged.

This was Moray, the one acting as the core of Blackstone Floating City, and at this moment, he was making a grimace at the Shadow Lord.

Although the Shadow Lord’s form was indeed very secretive, as long as he touched any part of Blackstone Floating City, he would have no place to hide from Moray.

In Moray’s eyes, he was confident in dealing with the Shadow Lord this time.

However, he was quickly proven wrong.

At this moment, the Shadow Lord had no physical form, and his smoky, translucent body could twist and change shape at will, even dividing and reassembling.

So, Moray could only watch as the Shadow Lord’s translucent body twisted and split into several segments, easily passing through the blind spots of his carefully planned attack, and eventually reassembling.

Looking at the dumbfounded evil spirit face before him, the Shadow Lord sneered: “I never thought that a floating city could have a spirit, which is quite rare.

What a pity, soon I will find your core, and then personally tell you beside you, that this floating city is about to change hands!”

Although Moray failed in his previous attempts, he naturally wouldn’t be easily frightened by the Shadow Lord.

So, the evil spirit face in front of the Shadow Lord burst into laughter, and with a provocative expression, said to the Shadow Lord: “Very well, I will wait for you at the core. I hope when you arrive, you won’t be missing any parts.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the evil spirit face vanished before the Shadow Lord’s eyes, followed by more special currents that enveloped the Shadow Lord.

Obviously, Moray’s attack on the Shadow Lord was just beginning.

“Interesting…”

The Shadow Lord’s eyes were dark, and he never thought that on this continent, someone aside from the bizarre Silver Dragon would dare to treat him with such an attitude.

It seems that if he doesn’t do something quickly, he will be looked down upon.

Thinking of this, the Shadow Lord sped up his advance, and his smoke-like body moved agilely like a ribbon through Moray’s well-planned attacks.

Although Moray’s attacking methods were quite challenging and intensive, for now, they had little effect on the Shadow Lord.

However, Moray’s countermeasures against the Shadow Lord had only just begun.

Moreover, the size of Blackstone Floating City was enormous, and even if Moray did nothing, it would be a long way for the Shadow Lord to infiltrate from the outside to the core.

As the Shadow Lord and Moray were struggling against each other, Otto’s side grew increasingly lively as well.

The furious Mother of Evil Dragons, who had long been holding a grudge, didn’t want to exchange a single word with Otto. With a roar of rage, a wave of special energy burst from her body and spread out in all directions.

Soon, this special energy formed a vast coverage area, similar to a domain-like barrier.

Any friendly unit belonging to the Mother of Evil Dragons was more or less strengthened.

This effect not only applied to the Mother of Evil Dragons herself, the nearby God of War and Spider Goddess, but also to the Colorful Evil Dragons, the War Sons, and even the Dore who were fighting fiercely below.

As a result, the originally balanced battle below quickly tipped in the favor of Lima Fortress.

The undead army, under increased pressure, was soon followed by the swarming forces of the Soaring Dragon Legion and the human army, all driven by Gaz.

In a flash, the sky was filled with terrifying flying monsters like birds and chimeras, while the sorrowful griffins and hippogriffs were ridden by elite air knights of various races.

All kinds of war machines were also pushed forward, and in an instant, the entire battlefield had turned even more intense.

In this situation, neither of the battling parties on the ground could easily withdraw.

Unknowingly, they had entered a fight-to-the-death situation.

This development was quite unexpected for Otto. He initially thought the Mother of Evil Dragons’ actions meant she was prepared to come up and fight him to the death, but this was not the case.

What also surprised Otto was that the three deity powerhouses surrounding him did not initiate an attack on him despite being in position.

Instead, they appeared to be on guard, making Otto feel as if the three bastards were deliberately delaying time.
