Chapter 499 Arrival
Thyrus and the others were stunned after hearing this revelation.
They have no idea that during their peaceful times living in Vera City, the Black Magic Organization had actually started buying off the neighboring territories to ensure that the Black Tower wouldn't be able to receive any more reinforcements.
It seems that after the Paragons worked together and destroyed one of the magic god's Avatars, the Black Magic Organization realized the threat of the other organizations.
They were probably worried that since the Martial Arts Alliance had sent their Paragons to help, the Solomon's Pillar might send the Magicians of the Wisemen or even the Wisemen themselves.
The peculiar Star Garden Peak might also send their help or even the Demonic Cult might join the battle to create an even more chaotic battlefield.
With all these in consideration, it was no wonder why the Black Magic Organization decided to stop their operations temporarily and send their delegates to the other organizations.
'Not good… His words might be true… If this magic organization was able to give them what the others desperately needed, they might really agree with the organization's request.' Thyrus knows that even if the Martial Arts Alliance appears righteous and would want to destroy the Demonic Cult and the Orc's Red Alliance, they also have various needs since they were lacking Magic Crafters.
Currently, the Martial Arts Alliance is relying on the Black Tower to provide almost 60% of their magic weapons supply.
If the Black Magic Organization can also provide this and even at a lower price, they might really agree! Furthermore, this new organization might offer several more benefits that the Tower Lord wasn't able to provide them.
"Keke… Looking at your faces, it seems that you've all realized how smart they are. The leaders of the Black Magic Organization are the real deal. They know how this world works so at the very least, we will be taking care of your Celestials. Don't let them die with you…" Colm said.
"Alright… Enough of that… We'll take the Celestials and give all of you our remaining potions… Although they are only low-grade, they should be enough to treat your injuries."
Ariana said as she signaled for Archie and others to "help" Luna and the others…
However, as they were about to make their move, a huge shadow suddenly covered everyone… It was followed by a strong gust of air so they couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Ariana thought that it was the airship from their Martial Arts Alliance that had supposedly blocked one of the Black Towers' fast airships.
Niall should be leading these airships now to take the special aircraft that they have detected. After all, it would be a pity if the Black Magic Organization would be the one to take it.
Before they got their hands on it, it should be better if their Alliance discovers its secrets first.
"W-what's that?!"
Ariana's mouth was wide open as she looked at the creature above them…
It seems to be a huge wyvern but its scales were beautiful and appeared even more majestic than those of the wyverns.
'Is that…'
At this point, she can no longer mistake it… That was definitely a blue dragon right there!
"N-not good! That might be a Mythical Beast… The battle that has occurred here probably attracted its attention!" Archie can only think of this as he can still feel the remnant energy around the battlefield.
He can easily guess that a very tough battle has occurred in this place. There was also the thick scent of blood so he wouldn't be surprised if some Savage Beasts started appearing.
It is normal for these beasts to be attracted to the scent of blood and chaos after all.
However, it was out of his expectation that a Mythical Beast would actually appear here right now!
Normally, this creature can only be found in ancient texts and some fables made for children. None of them had seen one of them in flesh until now…
Just how did it even live up until now without their knowledge?
He can easily tell that the one above them isn't some sort of illusion or Beast Soul Projection. From its aura to how it breathes, it was definitely real.
"How could this be?! Is this the reason why the Black Magic Organization wanted to take over this land?! Perhaps there are more Mythical Beasts here?!" Colm spoke in excitement.
Archie can only gulp in nervousness as he felt that this was really strange.
Furthermore, he noticed that the magicians behind them doesn't seem to be scared!
As a matter of fact, he saw some of them smiling!
The Paragons didn't notice this as they were focused on the Dragon but he can't be mistaken!
'What now?!… If the Mythical Beast is related to them, we're in big trouble.'
They didn't know that the Black Tower Organization would have this kind of trump card! No wonder they were able to rule this land for many generations!
Archie wanted to signal the two Paragons about the unusual behavior of the magicians but it was too late!
They started wielding their weapons and were even ready to fight…
Whoosshh!
Suddenly, the blue dragon descended close to them… Nevertheless, they didn't fail to notice the person riding the dragon!
"Impossible!"
Everyone saw the figure of a man donning an elegant Magician Robe and various accessories that were all emitting some mysterious powers.
"S-Someone's riding the dragon?!"
Ariana was already prepared to escape when she saw the Dragon descending. However, the figure of a man standing on its back halted her actions.
There was no way that an unknown person is riding that thing within the territory of the Black Tower.
Her mind started working furiously as she analyzed their situation.
In just a few moments, she concluded that this man had a higher chance of being a member of the Black Magic Organization.
After all, believes that the Black Tower is incapable of taming this highly-rated Mythical Beast. If they really have this trump card, shouldn't they be strong enough to defend several more Towers?
