Chapter 553: Watson Made His Move
Watson?
Delta had a perplexed expression on her face. She was adamant about that adolescent named Watson because it was the purpose of her journey. She had explicitly asked around before arriving at the fortress city. Watson was publicly recognized as the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s strongest genius and, at the same time, the kingdom’s future king.
He was King Landhar III’s chosen heir, but it appeared that King Landhar III was dissatisfied with Watson. He had referred to Watson as an enemy, which was unthinkable to her.
“King Landhar III wants to join forces with the elves and another human kingdom to deal with a genius in his own kingdom. Is he crazy? Or is he trying to fool me?” Delta grumbled softly.
If a genius like Watson had arisen in the Elven Kingdom, the Elven King would have worshiped him diligently. How could he be so different from King Landhar III? She questioned the human emperor’s words.
“You don’t believe me? Indeed, an exceptional genius had appeared in my kingdom. I should be happy, yet that individual put my life in danger. Things are no longer the same. As I previously stated, if Watson lived, the Holy Dragon Kingdom would never be mine. My life would be in jeopardy.”
As if he had seen through Delta’s thoughts, King Landhar III narrowed his eyes and retracted the various divine powers that were shining on his body.
“I was forced to facilitate Watson as my heir! You may not believe me right now, but I can show you that your plot to conquer the Holy Dragon Kingdom will undoubtedly fail. I will assure your safety in exchange for relaying my words to the Elven King.”
“Human Emperor, you are far too arrogant. If you believe that we are the only ones who have attacked the fortress city, then you are mistaken.”
Aside from Delta, the other two elves had likewise reverted to their original elven forms. Their wounds were continually healing due to the impact of the Spring of Life.
They had evolved under the elven race chess pieces and became powerful mythical creatures. The invasion would fail because there were too few people entering the city. In addition, they had also misjudged King Landhar III’s strength. They had never expected that the king of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, who had always been rumored to be weak, would be so powerful. However, as long as the elves attacked together, King Landhar III would still not be a match for them.
They did not even require all those elves. Beta would be able to conquer King Landhar III by himself.
King Landhar III was clearly at a disadvantage, yet he boasted shamelessly that he wanted to protect their safety and even wanted them to send a message to the Elven King. Was that not amusing?
“It seems like you did not listen to what I said. Forget it; words are useless. You can just stay here and watch. Why do you think I say that you will fail? Why is Watson our common enemy?”
King Landhar III sighed and appeared to be too tired to speak. He shifted his gaze to the sky. Delta led the three elves; they did not seem to mind that.
Before they sneaked in, they had seen more than a thousand dragons fly out of that mysterious city. They had been a little nervous when they saw so many dragons. They thought that the relationship between the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the dragons was beyond their imagination.
However, they quickly realized that those dragons were not as powerful as they had expected. Every dragon that had signed a contract with the Elven Kingdom possessed the strength of a Dragon King, and even Beta would struggle to fight them.
However, the dragons that had appeared were only diamond-tier, and Beta could easily defeat them. It was precisely because of that that they had chosen to sneak in. At that moment, they looked up and saw that the battle above their heads was the same as before they entered the city; Beta was suppressing over a thousand dragons.
The number of dragons that remained on the battlefield after the powerful explosion from the three divine kingdoms had already dropped to less than ten. Beta chuckled loudly as the surviving dragons turned into blood-red rain. He stretched his palm toward the city.
The sky was densely packed with the skeletons that had also become tattered from the explosion. The bones on their bodies began to grow, taking the shape of spirals that intertwined with each other. The bones connected form an uneven surface. Soon, all the bones fused and turned into a skeletal palm that stretched more than ten kilometers, forcefully grabbing the planetary fortress.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Delta and the others lost their balance. They could feel the planetary fortress shake violently. The city came to a stop, and huge white bones covered the surroundings. Looking around, they could see fingers made of different skeletons outside the city’s protective shield. The bones on those fingers were twisted, and the hollow eye sockets emitting ghostly flames were staring straight down. They sent chills down people’s spines.
It was hard to imagine how many skeletons were used to make that huge hand. It was as if a white mountain range had appeared on the ground.
“He had killed more than a thousand dragons by himself, and he even forcefully pulled a city back. Beta’s strength is too strong.”
Delta and the two elves could not help but exclaim in surprise. Then, Delta scowled, her eyes wide with absolute astonishment.
That strength had already exceeded regular people’s comprehension. Beta might be a god that walked the earth.
Then she shifted her eyes toward King Landhar III. Her tone was sarcastic when she said, “Is this what you mean when you said that our effort would fail, Human Emperor? You want to ensure our safety? We appear to be fine without your assistance. Well, I guess I should tell you something. The creatures that Beta killed will not be revived again. Do not expect them to stand up and defend the city again.”
She stood there and talked with King Landhar III because the latter happened to find them when they sneaked in. She thought it was a strange coincidence; otherwise, she would have already gathered her subordinates to control King Landhar III.
“Do not be concerned. Watson has yet to make a move. You will find out if you keep watching.”
When confronted with Delta’s mockery, King Landhar III responded calmly, “When the time comes, you will know what total authority is.”
…
Fawkes stood at the planetary fortress’ entrance, looking at the white bones that were growing on the city’s protective barrier, pressing down on it and cracking. In a panic, he grasped his hair. “Your Highness Watson, the planetary fortress that you built had been captured by that intruder elf. Isn’t he too powerful to be able to capture a moving city by himself? What should we do now?”
He had initially placed his trust in the warriors who had taken the potion and transformed into dragons. However, it appeared that their adversary was likewise exceedingly powerful. He was no longer concerned with the outcome of his wager with Watson. Instead, he was concerned with the safety of the planetary fortress.
Those soldiers who had been killed did not resurrect after a long time. Obviously, their ability to heal had been affected by some kind of force. Without the protection of those diamond-tier soldiers, the planetary fortress was captured again. The defense was as weak as paper in front of the powerful elf outside.
“It is exactly what I expected. The Planetary Fortress Army is no match for the intruder, yet their performance exceeded my expectations. They survived two minutes longer.”
Watson mumbled as he began to bounce up and down on the spot, stretching his hands.
“Your Excellency Watson, what are you trying to accomplish? You are going to go battle that Elven monster on your own?” Fawkes was initially upset, but he was taken aback when he observed Watson’s actions.
Watson was indeed mysterious and powerful in his eyes. He had many abilities, but he had never seen Watson fight. Magical powers did not mean that he was strong. The elves could even kill a thousand dragons. As the future king, how would Watson explain it to His Majesty if he was injured?
“That is correct. The army has been completely destroyed. It is past time for me to act.”
He stretched his arms a few times, not letting Fawkes stop him. Watson flew out of the planetary fortress’s protective barrier, his fighting aura wings extended over his back. He could sense a living person’s aura. The many layers of bone plating covering the protective barrier quickly expanded in Watson’s direction. They wrapped Watson up quickly and made him into a massive bone ball.
He stretched his arms a few times, not giving Fawkes a chance to stop him. Watson spread his combat aura wings on his back and flew out of the planetary fortress’s protective barrier. He could feel the aura of a living person. The countless layers of bone initially covering the protective barrier immediately spread in Watson’s direction. They wrapped Watson extremely fast and turned him into a huge bone ball.
“Your Highness Watson, I told you not to go out. Why are you in such a hurry to go out? Are you courting death? I’m done. If His Majesty knows about this, he will definitely punish me severely. ”
Fawkes anxiously ripped out a few strands of hair as he saw Watson wrapped by the bones that were linked together. He wanted to cry, yet no tears flowed from his eyes. He was about to call for help when he was interrupted.
Rumble!
The bones wrapped around Watson began to ignite with a tremendous bang. Like a prairie fire, milky-white flames spread in all directions. Countless white bones that blanketed the planetary fortification were soon reduced to ash. In the weeping, they were reduced to ashes. The white blaze showed Watson’s figure. His white robe whirled in the air, and he escaped unscathed.
