106: Water Dragon Roar

They hoped to delay the speed of Stanley, the Water Attribute Giant Dragon, as much as possible through attacks.

Meanwhile, Stanley knew that if he allowed the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert to cast Forbidden Curse Magic, he would be doomed today!

Therefore, he absolutely could not let Dorina and her companion succeed.

Thinking of this, Stanley concentrated all his power into his speed and shot toward the Merfolk Clan's Legendary Peak Expert, who was currently casting Forbidden Curse Magic.

Unfortunately, due to his injuries, even when Stanley, the Water Attribute Giant Dragon, exerted his full power, his speed was only a fraction faster than Dorina and her companion.

The distance between the three was closing, but it was absolutely impossible for Stanley to catch up to Dorina and her companion within the thirty seconds it took to cast the Forbidden Curse.

After chasing for a few seconds, Stanley also realized this disadvantageous situation and knew he had to find another way.

Stanley quickly surged upward, performed an action similar to a deep breath, and then unleashed the Dragon's signature technique.

"Water Dragon's Roar!"

The Roar skill was similar to a Dragon's innate skill; it was a very powerful type of magic.

The Roar unleashed by a Legendary Rank Water Attribute Giant Dragon, while not as powerful as Forbidden Curse Magic, was definitely far superior to Advanced magic.

It could be called a half-step Forbidden Curse Magic.

This skill was also a Sharp Weapon in Dragon combat; Stanley had not used it before, simply to find the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Dorina and her companion.

But now the situation was critical, and he could only use it to save the day.

Because such a powerful magic was a Dragon's innate magic, Stanley could cast it almost instantly.

In less than half a second, a thirty-meter light blue magic circle, covering most of Stanley's body, appeared in front of his mouth.

The moment the magic circle formed, a blue Water Attribute energy beam over a hundred meters thick emerged from it and shot toward the distant Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that wherever the blue energy beam passed, the seawater was completely turned into nothingness, showing its terror—truly worthy of being a Dragon's innate magic.

The speed of the beam emitted by the Water Dragon's Roar was far faster than the retreat speed of Dorina and her companion. In the blink of an eye, the beam struck the chanting Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert.

It crushed her fiercely toward the ground.

The ordinary magic barrier that the latter had cast collapsed upon contact with the Water Dragon's Roar and turned into nothingness.

Fortunately, the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert was, after all, a figure who had lived for over a thousand years and still had some foundation; she also possessed magic items capable of defending against Legendary attacks.

The Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert saw a ring on her right hand flash, and a transparent magic barrier enveloped her body, blocking the hundred-meter-thick blue beam.

Despite this, her situation was not optimistic.

Because magic protective items that could withstand a Legendary Expert's attacks for ten minutes, like Arthur's legendary ring of protection, were too rare.

It could be said that Arthur's legendary ring of protection was, among Legendary defensive gear, also of the most top-tier kind.

Ordinary Legendary defensive gear could only withstand ten or perhaps dozens of attacks from an expert of the same Rank, after which it would face energy depletion.

The magic protective item used by the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert was just an ordinary one, capable of blocking only twenty attacks from a Legendary Expert of the same Rank.

Since the Water Dragon's Roar was a continuous skill, this caused the shield of the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert to begin to dim at a visible rate under the Water Dragon's Roar.

If this continued, it was estimated that in just ten seconds, the shield of the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert would lose its effect.

However, while this time seemed short, for Legendary Experts like Dorina, it was actually quite long.

Ten seconds was enough for Dorina to instantly cast nearly twenty Advanced magic spells!

Therefore, Dorina took advantage of Stanley being unable to free his hands while casting the Water Dragon's Roar and attacked him with all her might.

For a time, wave after wave of Level 9 Water Attribute magic, under Dorina's control, headed toward Stanley, the Water Attribute Giant Dragon.

Afterward, Dorina looked hopefully in the Dragon's direction, wishing to see the latter heavily injured by her magic.

Unfortunately, that scene did not appear.

Beside Stanley, who was casting the Water Dragon's Roar, before Dorina's Advanced magic could reach him, layers of barrier magic unexpectedly appeared.

"Dual Casting!"

Seeing this, a surprised Dorina could not help but voice the guess in her heart.

Although it was a guess, Dorina was certain that only the high-level casting technique of "Dual Casting" could allow Stanley to achieve the scene before her.

Dorina was very surprised; it was not strange for a Legendary Mage to use a technique like Dual Casting.

But Stanley was a Dragon, and Dragons generally cast magic by relying on their Legacy.

Lazy as they were, they rarely studied magic techniques diligently, resulting in very few Dragons being able to use Dual Casting.

She had actually encountered one right before her eyes!

Moreover, for a Legendary Mage, Dual Casting was generally only used when casting Advanced magic or lower.

Yet now, the Dragon, relying on his innate talent, was casting the half-step Forbidden Curse Water Dragon's Roar while simultaneously casting a magic barrier.

It could be said that he had fiercely given Dorina a display of Dragon shock!

The current situation was a stalemate. As far as Dorina knew, her great-grandmother should have a total of three magic protective items on her.

Except for the one already used, the remaining two were of slightly lower quality than the first, but using both together to withstand the giant's attacks for ten seconds should not be a problem.

But adding these three together, they could only withstand twenty seconds, still ten seconds short of the thirty seconds required for the Forbidden Curse to be completed.

After calculating all this, Dorina knew that if she wanted her great-grandmother to safely cast the Forbidden Curse, she must make other arrangements.

For the next sixteen seconds, Dorina continued to bombard the Water Attribute Giant Dragon.

Once the sixteen seconds had passed, Dorina looked at the two magic protective items already activated in her hands.

The two items were enough for her to withstand the Water Dragon's Roar for fifteen seconds!

Enough to support the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert until she could cast the Forbidden Curse. Thinking of this, she charged directly toward the Water Dragon's Roar beam that Stanley had cast.

Using herself as a shield, she stood between Stanley and the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert.

On the other side, Stanley, having seen the shield on the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert becoming increasingly dim, thought he would finally be able to interrupt the casting of the Forbidden Curse.

One had to know that the backlash from a failed Forbidden Curse Magic would cause even a Legendary Mage to suffer heavy injuries; at that point, he might just be able to turn defeat into victory.

Unfortunately, just as this thought arose in Stanley's mind, Dorina's resolute figure blocked his Water Dragon's Roar.

And looking at the strength of the shield on Dorina's body, it could at least withstand his Water Dragon's Roar for another dozen seconds or so.

Meanwhile, Stanley watched as the Forbidden Curse Magic circle beside the Merfolk Races Legendary Peak Expert became increasingly complete, and terrifying Water Attribute energy began to gather continuously around her.
