Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord Chapter 272 Sudden Enemy Attack

272 Sudden Enemy Attack
Scarlen placed the Fire Elemental Core on the magic bow and observed it carefully for a moment. Then, he took out a translucent glass bottle that contained a large amount of green liquid from the storage cabinet beside him.
He used two drops on the Fire Elemental Core. It fizzed like acid and emitted a pungent smell.
Scarlen quickly put down the glass bottle. He then took out a glass bottle with yellow liquid from the storage cabinet. He used two drops on the Fire Elemental Core like before.
The Fire Elemental Core melted. The liquid flowed slowly and covered the entire bow. The magic bow was dyed red. The red slowly spread and covered the bow wholly. There was one particular area on the bow that flared bright red.
Scarlen was calm as he repeated the process. After consuming around 10 Fire Elemental Cores, the bow turned bright red. Flames surged around its edge.
[Strengthened Magic Bow: A-grade. Sharpness of Magic Arrows increased by 90%. Strength increased by 50% when attacking. Fire damage increased by 50%. Possibility of triggering Flame Blast, which can instantly tear apart the opponent’s armor and set the opponent on fire.]
The Flame Blast ability was particularly significant. Each bow required a total of 10 Fire Elemental Cores to be strengthened. Su Wan had at least 500 of them.
Su Wan was in awe. If she had known that the Fire Elemental Cores were these useful, she would have asked for 5000 of them!
She decided to make an acquaintance with the Fire Elemental Lord if she ever met him again.
Su Wan felt that she had lost an enormous opportunity.
A sudden sound came from outside. It sounded like a beat roaring. Su Wan turned to look through the open window.
A huge shadow flew across the sky. A horn blew somewhere.
It was an enemy attack! Xu Yuan, who was behind Su Wan, stared at the scene outside with sharp eyes.
‘Is this the attack from the Light-Types?’
The beast was the Venom Vulture. It was a powerful hunter of the desert. It loved attacking humans and their territories.
Su Wan wanted to find out just how powerful these creatures were.
Su Wan squinted at the sky. She saw the true face of the Venom Vulture.
These terrifying monsters had a wingspan of more than ten meters, and their gray heads were bald without any feathers. They had disgusting blue pustules. Each pustule was full of poison.
The huge beak on its mouth was like a butcher’s iron hook. It could easily pierce through the thick armor of a warrior.
Its sharp claws flickered with a cold blue light. Those claws were tainted with poison, too. Even if those attacked didn’t die on the spot, they would be corroded by the poison.
[Venom Vulture]
[Level: 58]
[Potential: A-grade]
Numerous Venom Vultures swept down from the sky. There were a total of 700 to 800 of those creatures covering the sky.
The Night Devil Bees had risen into the air the moment the enemies appeared. They collided with the creatures.
Xu Yuan didn’t move. He didn’t want to reveal his strength until he figured out the Lord of the Sky’s weakness. If not, he might not be able to catch him off guard.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint charged into the fight. However, this attack was so sudden that no one was prepared.
Even with the two dragons joining the fray, the battle was intense.
The Venom Vultures’ claws and beaks were sharp. If they used it on the troops, the injury would be fatal.
Furthermore, these creatures were extremely agile. It increased the difficulty of the troops dealing with them.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint also had to protect the residents of the territory. This crippled their fight.
The Night Devil Bees were lesser than the Venom Vultures. However, they did their best to keep the vultures away from the territory and prevented them from causing too much damage.
The residents fled in all directions. The screams and cries made everything more chaotic.
This was a blow to Su Wan. She realized that there was still a weakness in the defense of her territory. The sky was an opening for enemies to attack. If she survived this fight, she would arm the territory to the teeth and improve the defenses.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon swung his enormous claws at one of the vultures. The sharp claws pierced through its head, and it crashed down on the territory.
Su Wan thought that the Venom Vultures had intended to attack the territory directly. It seemed now that that was only a distraction. The Venom Vultures tried to get past the barrier made by the Night Devil Bees. When they couldn’t, they flew to the planting area.
‘Why would the Venom Vultures be interested in a farming area?’ thought Su Wan. ‘Unless…’
Their target was the Night Devil Queen Bess!
Xu Yuan had no intention of helping. These creatures were just vultures. If Su Wan couldn’t deal with something simple like this, then she would learn a lesson for the better. Maybe she would stop being so arrogant and would actually work on becoming stronger.
Xu Yuan wanted Su Wan to be strong enough to handle any crisis that came her way. If he wasn’t present in the territory in the future, how would she tackle such problems? He couldn’t have her rely on him for everything.
Su Wan’s eyes glittered with determination. Her territory was the most important thing to her, aside from Xu Yuan.
“Scarlen, prepare the archers!” said Su Wan.
A volley of magic arrows shot into the sky in the blink of an eye. The Night Elves and their skill as archers were valuable when dealing with aerial enemies.
More arrows flew into the air. The flaming arrows turned the sky red as they exploded.
The residents of the territory looked up in fear. The flames might burn their farm!
However, the despair turned into amazement as the farm was left untouched by the explosion.
[Fire Magic Arrows: Inflicts fire magic damage, consumes 50 magic points per second.]
The farm suffered no damage, but the vultures weren’t that lucky. They became the fuel for the arrows to burn endlessly.
The Venom Vultures wanted to flee, but they were horrified to see that there was no opening. The flames engulfed them from every side. No matter how hard they flapped their wings, they couldn’t escape.
Other than a few Venom Vultures which had fled the moment the arrows started coming in, the others were trapped and burned.
Countless Venom Vultures fell from the sky as they burned to their deaths. Their bodies created huge pits where they fell on the ground.
The troops advanced to these falling vultures to take care of the ones that were still alive. However, when they arrived at the scene, they saw that none of the vultures had survived.
The Fire Magic Arrows were terrifying. The flames in the sky gradually dissipated.
The sudden attack of the vultures made Su Wan uneasy.
