Second World

Chapter 1656 1656. Aurebor’s Country Guardian

Quetzalcoatl looked down at the battlefield below. He could see his side was in trouble. He made his introduction by letting out an ear-splitting roar. At the same time, hundreds of lightning rained from the clouds, striking the elven soldiers below.

The orcish soldiers hollered with excitement when they saw their country guardian. Their bellows rivaled even the thunders caused by Quetzalcoatl's entrance.

"Ma'am…?" Lead Designer turned to Mistress.

"Hmph. We are ready for you," Mistress uttered. She stood from her chair and held up his queen badge. The badge shone brightly.

Quetzalcoatl was on his way down to dish out more punishments on Aurebor's army, but he stopped midway when he sensed something. He turned to the distance where some sort of a giant portal had appeared in the air.

His eyes narrowed when he saw the being that came out of the portal. It was a giant orb of flesh with a large eye at its center. Below this enormous eye was an equally enormous mouth filled with sharp teeth. All around the being's body were tentacles that ended with eyeballs.

Those who were fighting in the air and happened to be close to the gigantic newcomer used their Inspect. The creature was a level 95 eternal grade. It was classified as a darkness-type creature and its name was Eldritch Beholder.

Some of his hundred eyes turned to those who looked at it. Those people immediately felt a chill down their spines. Whether they were orcs or elves, they hastily put some distance away from this Eldritch Beholder before resuming their battle.

"I didn't expect to see you in this plane again. How do you escape your seal?" Quetzalcoatl asked the eldritch beholder. Thunders followed when he spoke.

The beholder just stared at Quetzalcoatl with its ominous eyes. The others down there might not be aware, but the beholder was also speaking, except it was directly into Quetzalcoatl's mind.

"You dare mention my seal…?" The beholder's eerie voice reverberated inside Quetzalcoatl's mind. "You and your kind, acting so high and noble, but you lot are nothing but a jealous bunch. You can't stand another being challenging your apex position and so you wiped out my offsprings and sealed me away."

"Jealous? You and your broods were mad creatures who enslaved an entire country and tried to conquer the continent. If we didn't put your kind down, the Gods would. You should count yourself lucky it was us. Otherwise, you would have ceased to exist."

"Make excuses all you like. I don't care. All I want is to get back on your kind. Oh, you don't know how much I dreamt of it. Now, I will have the chance."

"Hmph!" Quetzalcoatl harrumphed and glanced down at Mistress. "I guess it was that elven queen who broke you out of your prison. So, you are willing to lower yourself to someone's lapdog for your freedom?"

"Hahaha. It is rich hearing you say that. Aren't you also the orcs' lapdog?"

"How dare you!" Quetzalcoatl roared. "I came into a pact out of mutual respect. Do not assume I am the same as you who are forced into servitude!"

All the people down there heard was Quetzalcoatl shouting at the ball with the giant eye. The eye just stared back without any response. They wondered whether that eye could turn even a true dragon insane.

"Serfdom is serfdom, no matter how you dressed it up," the eldritch Beholder replied. "In my case, I don't mind becoming someone's slave as long as I get a chance at revenge on you, despicable dragons."

"Heh," Quetzalcoatl chuckled. "You might be formidable, but I was still young when you were sealed. Do not assume I am still the young dragon from before."

"We will see, dragon," the eldritch Beholder returned. After she finished speaking, her multitude of small eyes all turned toward Quetzalcoatl. Green rays of light shot out from those eyes.

Quetzalcoatl flapped his wings and he turned into a bolt of lightning. In an instant, he moved away from those green rays' trajectory. He stopped when he was facing the beholder's side. It opened its mouth and a great torrent of blue lightning poured out.

The beholder turned to face Quetzalcoatl. The giant eye on her body blinked. As it did, a green translucent triangle appeared before him. Quetzalcoatl's blue lightning slammed into this triangular wall. The powerful lightning was unable to pierce through the wall. The wall didn't even tremble. The lightning just appeared to vanish once it touched the wall.

"Anti-magic planar wall…," Quetzalcoatl muttered.

Quetzalcoatl remembered the eldritch beholder's ability. That anti-magic planar wall was able to nullify all magic and elemental attacks, no matter how strong they were. In the past, this ability was what had caused the then lord of the dragons, Broidrireg, difficulties in taking down the eldritch beholder. It was only with the combined might of all the true dragons that they had successfully slayed most of the beholder race and sealed their great brood mother.

"You might have grown from the last time I saw you, but you are alone," the Eldritch Beholder said.

"I alone am enough. Do not think you can underestimate me, abomination!" Quetzalcoatl flapped his two wings. He shot forward while a spell formation formed.

The eldritch beholder also cast a spell.

Quetzalcoatl's spell was completed first. Tens of lightning spears appeared around him. They then shot forward and made repeated turns at unpredictable timing. These lightning spears came at the beholder from multiple angles.

Before they hit, the same translucent green wall appeared again. But this time, instead of a triangle wall, four walls were formed all around the eldritch beholder. These four triangles touched one another at their sides and formed a triangular pyramid, enclosing the eldritch beholder within.

No matter where the lightning spears attacked from, they were blocked by the triangular pyramid.

The eldritch beholder's spell formation was completed. From above, a giant well of black swirling smoke appeared. Out of this smoke, hundreds of black hands reached out. They tried to grab Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl again turned into a ray of lightning to move away.

Quetzalcoatl moved at lightning speed but when he stopped, he found he wasn't that far away from where he was before. The black hands were still approaching. The giant well above possessed a magical force that stopped him from moving away.

"You think you can keep me here?!" Quetzalcoatl bellowed. His two wings flapped left and right. Every time he did, lightning blades were produced. These lightning blades cut the black hands that tried to grab him.

When Quetzalcoatl was busy with the black hands, the eldritch beholder teleported behind him. She then cast another spell. A pitch-black cone was formed. This cone elongated and spun, turning into a drill that shot forward.

Quetzalcoatl sensed the attack. He wanted to dodge but the black hands around him limited his movements. The black cone ended up nicking the dragon's body near its wings. Quetzalcoatl roared in pain.

The damage he received from the black drill didn't endanger his life since his HP was still full, but a cut was visible where the black drill had hit. The spell left a wound on Quetzalcoatl and the pain was not going anytime soon. Quetzalcoatl also received damage over time from the black drill.

The eldritch beholder's large mouth went up in a sinister grin upon seeing the wound.

"You think this is painful? I will let you taste what pain is!!" Quetzalcoatl roared. His body erupted with massive electrical currents. He then charged toward the eldritch beholder.
