In the eyes of all the professionals, the massive spells and skills had a high consumption, especially the strategic ones, which couldn't last long. Uther thought so, too. Standing on the balcony, he waited for Beta's mental power to run out. As soon as the fog dispersed, Beta would be dead.
When one was waiting alone, one would feel that time passed much more slowly than usual. Uther looked at the floating fog below him. Standing on the balcony, he felt that he was in the clouds. However, he was not interested in such a beautiful view at all. Instead, he felt that every second and minute was passing slowly.
However, when he thought that Beta would be beheaded after the fog dispersed, Uther couldn't help but feel excited. The unbearable feeling of waiting turned into indescribable delight.
Time seemed to pass at an extremely slow speed, second by second. His originally impatient heart gradually calmed down as he waited, but another pleasant feeling began to fill his heart.
Finally, Uther saw that the fog below the balcony was dispersing. He was grinning in delight, when he found that it was dark again. He raised his head and saw through the bright green shell of the magic circle that a dark cloud had drifted close and blocked the moon.
The fog below the balcony was thinner and thinner, but the surroundings were darker and darker. Uther was not bothered. He made a gesture, and the archers in the fortress and the nearby towers began to hold their longbows and search for the enemy spontaneously.
It was exactly at this moment that several raindrops fell from the sky and fell on Uther's forehead through the shell of the magic circle. He didn't mind and continued to look around excitedly, searching for Liang Lidong. Very soon, he found a shadow standing in the mist. He pointed at it and was about to shout, when he found that the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
He wiped the water off his face and looked up at the sky, only to discover that the thick clouds were above the magic circle like inverted mountains. Then, the rain became heavier and heavier. After only a few seconds, the rain was already so heavy that it could be described as a downpour. At this moment, Uther finally realized that something was wrong. The rain was too heavy. He had grown up in Winterwind and had never seen such a downpour.
The fog around the castle had completely disappeared, but the rain clouds blocked the moonlight, and visibility was much worse than before.
Uther retreated from the balcony back into the room. He patted off the water droplets on his head and armor. He then listened to the continuous sound of the rain hitting the ground outside the balcony. A bad feeling grew in his heart. This rain was too strange and too violent. It did not seem natural at all. However, it did not seem to be the effect of magic either. The rainwater formed by magic elements would slowly disappear after falling to the ground. However, this rainwater was real and not a magic creation.
What was going on? Uther felt more and more uneasy. Could this be Beta's doing? Was this another of his bloodline magic spells?
Impossible!
Uther comforted himself. This rain might be a rare one in a hundred years.
Liang Lidong stood in the rain. When the raindrops fell on him, they would be 'bounced' to the side. There was not even a drop of moisture on his body. In the rain, Liang Lidong felt very relaxed, as if he had returned to his own bed. He felt warm and safe.
The rain was so heavy that the ground was soon covered with a layer of water. However, there was no water in a radius of fifty centimeters from where Liang Lidong was standing. The rain could block most people's vision, but it did not work for Liang Lidong. He looked at the arrow tower on his right and shouted:
"Rise the dragon!"
The water on the ground around Liang Lidong quickly gathered together and formed a huge dragon head. Then, the dragon head soared into the air, attracting the surrounding rainwater to melt into its body. Finally, the huge dragon formed from the rainwater swam its huge body and flew up from the ground. More than a second later, the water dragon hit the arrow tower. After a loud sound like a dragon's roar, the arrow tower and the water dragon exploded together, mixed with the screams of despair of humans.
Not bad! Liang Lidong nodded and then focused on the system interface. He sighed in his heart. The skill had a cooldown time. It could only be used once every twenty seconds.
In the room on the west side of the second floor, fat Gavin stared at the scene of the water dragon destroying the arrow tower. His eyes widened and he muttered to himself, "Foreign Dragon God? Is the family legend true? "
Uther also heard the screams. He ran out of the room and into the rain. Then he saw the destroyed arrow tower and shouted angrily. The rain had drenched him in a short two seconds. After his anger was extinguished, he was terrified. He now completely understood that this rain must have been Beta's doing.
He turned and ran back into the room. Just as he was about to go upstairs to warn his wife and daughter, he heard a strange beast roar behind him. His years of battle instincts kicked in. Without thinking, he rolled to the side and hid behind the wall of the balcony. He saw a snake-like monster made of water rush into the room from the balcony and hit the wall on the opposite side.
Then there was a splash of water. Many of the water droplets hit his body. Even through the armor, he felt a dull pain. He used his gloves to protect his face and head in time, but because the protection of his hands was slightly weaker, he felt that his forearms were starting to numb from the pain.
What surprised him even more was that there was a hole about half a meter wide in the wall opposite him. At this time, the snake-like monster made of water had turned back into water. Now there was about twenty centimeters of water in the room, and the water flowed through the door into the corridor.
I have to get out of here quickly … Uther stood up and hurried out of the room. But not long after he left the room, he heard another beast roar from next door. He took two steps forward and then looked back. He saw that the door and the wall of the room had been smashed by the huge snake-like water column.
"Damn it!"
Uther ran forward. He quickly reached the stairs and saw his wife and daughter coming down together.
"Father, I heard a strange sound up there. What happened?" Barbara asked as she supported her mother.
Sophia also looked at Uther inquiringly. Just as the latter was about to speak, a voice came from the end of the corridor. "It's not a big deal. It's just that the situation has changed. I've come back to cause trouble for you."
Hearing this voice, Sophia's body trembled slightly. Then she lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at the person.
Barbara looked at the young man at the end of the corridor, her eyes filled with guilt. "Your Excellency Beta!"
Uther turned back. He looked at Liang Lidong, and then at the spreading rainwater in the corridor. Then he suddenly looked up and said, "Beta, this is our fault. How about we just let it go? I'll give you another ten percent of the gold. Anyway, Rex is already … "
Before Uther could finish, the water in the corridor suddenly turned into a dragon-shaped pillar of water, roaring towards the three of them.
Barbara immediately put up a fire magic shield. When the fire dragon hit the shield, there was a sizzling sound. Then a large amount of steam appeared, and the dragon-shaped pillar of water exploded. Water droplets flew everywhere, hitting the walls and making small holes. The walls were densely packed with holes, like giant hornets.
After the steam dissipated, Liang Lidong saw Barbara half-kneeling on the ground. The fire magic shield had disappeared without a trace, and she was covering her nose. Red liquid flowed out between her white fingers.
"Barbara! Are you alright? "Sophia hugged her daughter and was extremely nervous.
Uther's face turned green. He yelled and rushed towards Liang Lidong with his greatsword in hand.
"Moth Web!"
Liang Lidong threw out a scroll, which turned into a large white net and bound Uther.
"Don't think you can stop me with this!" Uther's face turned red. He used all his strength and actually broke the Moth Web. "How dare you hurt my daughter! I'll kill you!"
Because of the recent battles, Liang Lidong didn't have many scrolls in his hands. He didn't have any suitable scrolls in his Backpack, either. The Rising Dragon spell was still on cooldown, and it would take about ten seconds.
Seeing Uther pounce over, Liang Lidong wasn't in a hurry. He took out the Pseudo Emperor Fallen Sword from his backpack.
Uncontrollable Rage, activate!
Liang Lidong thought to himself. His eyes turned slightly red, and in that instant, his vision started to hallucinate. It was as if everything in the world was distorted for a moment, and then returned to normal. He looked at Uther, who was almost in front of him, and stabbed out.
Because the walkway was narrow, Uther's giant sword couldn't be used at all. He could only perform the most basic stabbing motion.
The Faux Emperor Fall sword, which was only three fingers wide, clashed with Uther's huge sword, which was two palms wide. Logically speaking, an ordinary longsword should have broken in this situation, but in reality, after the sword tips clashed, the two were affected by the recoil, and both of them retreated at the same time. Liang Lidong took five steps back, while Uther only took three.
It seemed that Liang Lidong was at a disadvantage, but he knew very well that he had the upper hand in this contest. Uther was a pure fighter, and he himself was a compound spellcasting class. Under head-to-head encounters, he was not suppressed, which in itself was a great advantage.
