Shadow of the Beautiful World

A black military helicopter quickly flew over the slightly boiling city. It crossed the urgently established military defense belt on the ground and rushed towards the burning stadium.

After witnessing a huge fire dragon flying across the city in broad daylight, half of the people in New York were excited.

Every TV station on the TV repeatedly reported this sudden incident, and the blurry images of Merlin, the crow and the fire dragon chasing in the air were also taken as conclusive evidence to make the people even more crazy.

Stimulated by such a big event, desperate reporters have already rushed towards the direction where the fire dragon fell in a helicopter. But these planes will be stopped in mid-air by military helicopters.

Some dangerous secrets cannot be known by everyone.

Merlin's signal is just ahead! Straight ahead, 1,000 meters away.

Natasha, the black widow, was fiddling with the instrument in her hand. On the dashboard of the radar-like thing, a red dot was shining ahead.

Natasha was sitting in the co-pilot position of the helicopter, with a slightly weird sniper rifle in her hand.

That thing is different from all the sniper weapons currently in existence. It looks like a cuboid made of metal as a whole, with a black gun body and a white shell. There is a handle behind the gun body without any aiming equipment. It looks very simple.

But at the back of the gun, there is a blue crystal inlaid on the gun body, which is emitting a faint light blue fluorescence, which makes the gun look full of a sci-fi feel.

This is the Cree individual weapon that S.H.I.E.L.D. found in the arsenal of the Cree starship wreckage brought back by Carol during the Cree War a few months ago.

It is a real energy weapon, which has been reverse-engineered in the SHIELD laboratory for several months. The scientists of SHIELD are trying to unlock the secret of this weapon.

To be honest, this thing wouldn't have been taken out of the lab if it wasn't an emergency.

Can you use this thing?

While driving the helicopter, Agent Patton watched Natasha fiddle with the energy weapon. He whispered:

It is said that the operation method of this thing is different from our weapons?

Yes, there are indeed some differences.

Natasha raised the sniper rifle and made a shoulder aiming posture. Above the gun body, a crystal chip popped up abruptly, and a triangular virtual aiming beacon appeared in front of Natasha's eyes, following her gaze. Move and move.

Very intelligent, more advanced than our weapons.

Black Widow commented:

According to Mr. Richard, the technological content of this thing is at least 200 years ahead of us, just like throwing an assault rifle directly to primitive people.

But they're all murderers.

Agent Patton said softly:

Bullets can also kill, and beams can also kill, it's just that the methods are different, and the concept of weapons is essentially the same.

makes sense.

Natasha nodded. She looked towards the ground ahead. From the distance the helicopter was hovering, she could already vaguely see the roaring flame-breathing monster in the burning stadium.

You manipulate that big guy! Wait for my signal.

Natasha took off the flight headset, and she stood up with the beam sniper rifle on her back. Under the control of Agent Patton, the helicopter quickly hovered over the roof of an office building hundreds of meters away from the stadium.

Natasha jumped off the helicopter, rolled on the ground, and waved to Barton.

Agent Patton pulled up the helicopter again. He looked back, and there was a heavy object in the cabin.

It was a heavy weapon like a small howitzer, but it didn't launch a barrel. Instead, it was replaced by four closed guide rails, just like the miniature version of the imperfect electromagnetic rail gun in the current earth technology.

This thing has a silver casing, it's powered by the same energy as the beam gun Natasha is holding, and has been able to be used by agents since the S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists removed the safety lock.

Agent Barton needs to find a stable launch platform. This small electromagnetic gun has great penetration and power, but its launch speed is not satisfactory, so it can only be used as the last trump card at the bottom of the box.

boom

The black mist wrapped around the Horntail's head exploded amidst the surge of flames.

The heavy blow of magic made the Hungarian Horntail scream violently. The scales and bone spurs on its head were blown away, and even one of the majestic bronze dragon horns was blown off.

Blood flowed from the wound on the head, making this and the Horntail look so miserable.

In the burning stadium, the hornet frenzied by the pain frantically flicked its tail up like a meteor hammer, twitched the surrounding boulders, and smashed towards Merlin who had re-condensed on the ground.

wingardium leviosa! (levitation spell)

Merlin waved his wand and pointed at the boulders scattered around him. With a flick of his wrist, those boulders seemed to be held up by invisible hands. As Merlin's wand moved forward, several boulders also roared and smashed Horntail roaring in front of you.

boom

The boulder collided in the air, making a loud noise, and two more stones hit the Horntail's body, causing it to take a few steps back.

The ferocious beast raised its head, and another jet of scorching flames sprayed towards Merlin, turning the latter's body into a black mist, which spread out into the air, avoiding the jet of scorching flames.

The flames of this Horntail are not as far as before, and it looks very tired.

But this thick-skinned guy is really tenacious. Its body is already covered with wounds. Even one of the dragon horns on its head was broken by Merlin's magic explosion, but it is still fierce and unwilling to fall down.

Rough skin and thick flesh!

Merlin looked at the fire dragon below in the air. The wounds on the Horntail's body showed signs of healing. The self-healing power of this dragon was really amazing.

At this moment, Merlin also realized that he really lacked some skills that are extremely destructive in an instant. It is really not a good idea to fight this hornet for a long time, but he lacked the ability to knock down such a giant creature like the hornet at once. method.

This guy's scales and fat are too thick, so thick that two consecutive magic explosions can't hurt its internal organs.

Merlin looked at the still roaring fire dragon, his hand reached into his pocket, the berserker cane should come in handy. But the aftereffects of that thing are a bit strong, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to rush up and fight this dragon in close combat. Merlin doesn't really want to use it.

And just when Merlin was hesitating, a blue beam of light suddenly shot out from another direction of the ruins of the stadium.

Under Merlin's gaze, the blue light cut through the flames of the Horntail, and pierced the Horntail's scarred neck like a sharp arrow. From the perception of darkness, Merlin clearly saw, The light beam directly sliced ​​through the scales and flesh of the hornet, almost piercing a fleshy pit on the fire dragon's neck.

Merlin, here we come!

Natasha's half crouched on the top of the ruins of the stadium stands, she shoots in a standard kneeling position, holding the activated energy sniper rifle. The scorching wind blew her wine-red hair, and in front of her eyes, the blue triangular aiming beacon had locked onto the yellow eyes of the Horntail.

Like the deadliest assassin, with her finger on the trigger, she whispered:

Stand back, don't get blood on it.

whoosh

Another blue beam shot out from the Black Widow's muzzle, but at this moment, the Horntail seemed to sense the danger, and its head tilted outward, narrowly avoiding the incoming beam.

Natasha's shot missed its eye and instead left a bloody gash on its jaw.

The hornet's tail waved, and a huge boulder was whipped into the air, whizzing and smashing towards Natasha's position. Merlin in the air swung his wand, and a precise shattering curse hit the flying boulder, breaking it apart.

Looking at the falling rain of gravel, Natasha's eyes narrowed, she rolled on the ground with her gun on her back, narrowly dodging the flying stones.

You almost killed me just now, Merlin!

Natasha shouted in the communicator:

Can you hold your head higher?

Come on, Natasha, you and I both know that some rocks won't kill you.

Merlin replied:

Is Fury's secret weapon a gun? Hell, does he underestimate this cunning beast?

I'm here to contain it!

The black widow was as agile as a monkey and fell into the stadium along the broken stone wall. While running to find the shooting point, she said to Merlin:

Barton has an electromagnetic cannon that can penetrate the dragon's body, but we have to fix it in place and not let it move around.

good!

Merlin responded, and in the billowing black smoke rising from the burning stadium, Merlin's figure soared into the sky. Like a shadow flying in the air, he quickly dodged the flames sprayed by the Horntail, and landed in the distance. On the ruins not far from the dragon.

Merlin's lips moved slightly, and the magic wand in his left hand was raised, a ray of dark red magic power wrapped around the wand, and as Merlin's wrist slowly fell, invisible locks of magic power shot out from all directions .

colloportus! (Confinement Curse)

The last syllable fell, the magic power model was complete, the huge magic power was filled, and the magic power chains invisible to ordinary people also completed the final condensation.

In Merlin's eyes, more than a dozen thick dark red chains flew up from the ground, tightly wrapped around the huge body of the Horntail, and bound its wings, legs, claws, and tail like a meteor hammer. on the ground.

The Horntail also felt the magical bondage from Merlin. It struggled crazily, and between the flicks of its tail, the two magic chains broke quickly.

Imprisonment spells are used to imprison smaller creatures.

It is clearly stated in Mr. Arthur's magic book that using the confinement spell to confine large creatures is likely to fail.

But right now, Merlin has no other choice.

He stood on the spot, pouring magic power into the wand Lola continuously, and the violent magic power was transformed into a new chain, fixing the Horntail's body in place.

Farther away, Natasha stood up. While her long hair was fluttering, she took up a sniper rifle and kept shooting at the Horntail's head to interfere with its struggle.

And farther and farther away, on a hill nearly 500 meters away from the stadium, next to the landing helicopter, Agent Patton was holding a silver-white manipulator similar to a mobile phone.

His fingers kept sliding on the screen, and with the movement of his fingers, the four metal guide rails of the activated electromagnetic railgun had also separated outwards.

Circles of blue halos light up on the shell of the metal guide rail, representing the continuous filling of energy.

A triangular projectile made of tungsten gold has also been pressed into the launch port.

Under the adjustment of Agent Patton, the muzzle of this electromagnetic railgun placed on a metal platform continued to fine-tune its direction until it completely locked on the bound Horntail on the ground 500 meters away.

The target has been locked!

Merlin, Natasha, step back!

Agent Patton said something in the communicator, and the next moment, his hands quickly entered the launch command on the screen.

The last blue halo on the electromagnetic rail lit up at this moment. Filled with powerful energy, the triangular projectile roared out of the metal rail's muzzle with a buzzing sound.

The moment it was ejected, the speed of this thing exceeded 3 times the speed of sound.

The distance of 500 meters is almost instantaneous.

The Horntail also felt the threat, it ignored Natasha's shooting, turned its head, and sprayed out the craziest dragon's breath, but the triangular projectile easily penetrated the block of flames, under the gaze of Merlin and Natasha , The projectile was like the sharpest blade, grazed the Horntail's neck, and pulled out a terrible wound on that neck.

The final landing point of the projectile was on the Horntail's back.

The solid scales and thick fat could not stop the shooting from the weapons from among the stars. In the vibration of the ground, the back of the Horntail seemed to explode from the inside, and the sound of bones breaking was heard amidst the blood and flesh splattering. It clearly passed into Merlin's ears.

The small half of the hornet's body was almost torn apart by the triangular ammunition.

Its neck was broken from the middle like a discount.

The crazy fire dragon in front of him let out a final wail, like a collapsing hill, and fell down in the burning ruins of the stadium.

Merlin fell from the air, and he walked up to the hornet's head. There was no sign of life in the yellow pupils of this giant beast, and there was still an unbearable pain in the eyes.

Are we slaying dragons?

Natasha came to Merlin with a sniper rifle on her back. She looked at the huge and hideous head in front of her with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. She said:

It looks a bit ugly like this.

It's pretty ugly.

Merlin shrugged. He stepped forward and took out a black fighting knife from his magic pocket. Under Natasha's slightly disgusted gaze, he took out a few bloody dragon teeth from the fiery dragon's scorching mouth.

He turned around and threw a dragon tooth to Natasha. The latter pinched the hideous tooth with two fingers in disgust. She said:

Is this thing precious?

Anyway, in wizard legends, dragon teeth can bring good luck to warriors, and are a symbol of courage and strength.

Merlin tossed the bloody bone-white dragon teeth, and said:

This is also a very precious enchanting material, and it can be sold for a good price on the black market.

In that case, I will accept it.

Natasha wiped the thing clean and put it in her bag. She brushed her hair with her hand and said to Merlin:

Let's go, there will be someone here to deal with it.

The business over there in Hell's Kitchen isn't over yet.
