"ROAR—!!!"
A roar, more majestic and resounding than any dragon roar before, exploded like a thunderclap ripping through dark clouds, suddenly erupting above the cliff on the flank of the battlefield!
A colossal dragon silhouette, its scales shimmering with a deep ice-blue glow, plummeted from the sky like a meteor!
Its speed was so immense that it created a piercing sonic boom!
This was Shadow Wing.
The first Proto-Dragon follower under Obsidian, and also the first powerful being to possess the power of a Paladin!
Shadow Wing's target was extremely clear—his dive trajectory was aimed directly at the most threatening Dragon Hunting Ballistas!
The moment his massive dragon body swooped to its lowest point, ice-blue divine light erupted from his dragon eyes.
Conquest Deterrence!
A vast, ocean-like mental pressure, imbued with an absolute will to dominate, struck the depths of the souls of the guard soldiers near the ballista formation below, like an invisible heavy hammer.
"Ugh—!" The elite archers operating the ballistas bore the brunt.
Their eyes were instantly consumed by boundless fear, as if they had seen an supreme will, insurmountable and irresistible, towering above Matos.
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, stiffened, and some even dropped their ballistas, clutching their heads and screaming in agony!
The entire ballista formation instantly plunged into chaos.
Shadow Wing did not stop; his dragon maw opened wide, and a Frost Breath, far more condensed and imbued with sacred chill than that of an ordinary Proto-Dragon, poured down, instantly freezing two Dragon Hunting Ballistas and the soldiers around them into ice sculptures!
This sudden strike bought precious time and a chance for survival for the desperate mobile squad.
"Now! Go!" Shadow Wing's roar sounded again.
A temporary gap and confusion appeared in the Shadowfang soldier line, which had been stunned by the fear spell.
The three trapped Proto-Dragons and Paladins unleashed their last burst of strength; the Paladins fought to cut down enemies around them and leaped onto dragon backs;
The Proto-Dragons endured their injuries, seizing the moment when the ballista threat was eliminated and the enemies were in disarray, suddenly flapped their wings, and forcefully ascended into the sky, albeit a bit unsteadily, carrying the Paladins as they flew desperately towards the third line of defense!
Shadow Wing, relying on the powerful abilities and suddenness of a Level Five Paladin, single-handedly turned the tide of the battle!
However, just as Shadow Wing completed the rescue and was about to flap his wings and soar away from the battlefield—
"Trying to leave? Too late!" The guard commander's cold voice suddenly rang out; he actually had a hidden trump card!
Several massive nets, emanating a dark purple glow, meticulously woven by the Nerubian Spider Demons, were swiftly launched from several hidden corners by powerful mechanisms!
These giant nets rapidly spread out in the air, covering an extremely wide area, and were inscribed with cursed runes designed to absorb energy and bind giant beasts.
Their target was Shadow Wing, who had just unleashed a powerful ability and was now in a state of temporary exhaustion and low altitude.
Shadow Wing sensed the danger and roared, attempting to climb and evade, but the previous dive attack and the release of Conquest Deterrence had consumed a large amount of his strength and focus, causing his movements to be half a beat slower.
