Alien Knights

Todd raised his head and looked coldly at the warrior in front of him with dark golden dragon eyes.

"I know... who you are..." Cu Chulainn plunged his red spear into the ground, looked at the black dragon in front of him, and said with a smile: "The holy king of Muxi, the favorite of the heavenly father, has now turned into a monster. Before my eyes!"

Not at all irritated by the other party's words, Todd stared at the other party's eyes and said word by word: "Now, you and I will go back to the Kingdom of Shadows together."

Twisting his neck, Cu Chulainn provocatively said with the crisp sound of his joints moving, "What if I refuse?"

"Listen to what I just said, it's not asking for your opinion!"

Todd stretched out his dragon claws and grabbed Cu Chulainn's body forward.

Cu Chulainn grabbed the handle of the spear with both hands, and his body completed a rollover in the air, avoiding the dragon's claws, and jumped back a few steps.

Todd lay prone on the ground, lowered his center of gravity, protected his relatively soft abdomen, kicked off his hind legs, and rushed forward again.

Cu Chulainn, who had no time to dodge, plunged his spear into the soil, jumped into the air with the reaction force, avoided the impact of the giant dragon, and jumped onto Todd's back.

"Your movements are as slow as an old man's twilight." Cu Chulainn said with a smile, "I can even give you a hand..."

Before the words were finished, the sound of breaking wind came from behind, causing Cu Chulainn to look back in surprise.

The dragon tail, as hard as steel and flexible as a long whip, hit Cu Chulainn's body fiercely with lightning speed.

Like a kite with a broken string, Cu Chulainn was thrown into the air and hit the ground heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Todd did not choose to pursue, but said again: "Come back to the Kingdom of Shadows with me!"

Cu Chulainn grabbed the spear with both hands, stood up from the ground unsteadily, and shouted at Todd: "Shut up!"

"The land under your feet is the place where I was born and raised! It is my motherland!" Cu Chulainn yelled with all his strength: "You who abandoned your identity as a human and used the power of a demigod to invade other countries have no right to tell what should I do!"

Todd froze for a moment, and stopped in place.

"In my memory, the Kingdom of Ulster was originally a rich and peaceful country. Here, I used to have good friends and a beautiful and kind fiancée... Now, my friend died in the flames of war, and my fiancée Occupied by the enemy!"

Hearing Cu Chulainn's complaint, Todd said in a deep voice: "The people of Ulster live a prosperous and peaceful life, but have you ever thought about those southern barbarians under their rule? Are they destined to be slaves by nature? Dry bones under the road?!"

Cu Chulainn shook his head amusedly, as if he had heard the most interesting rebuttal in the world: "You are right, this is war. There is no reason for fighting between kingdoms, and some are just entanglements of interests. Froststone City Be it Connaught or Connaught, you are all obstacles in the way of Ulster's progress, and there is no other way but to destroy it."

The flesh and blood under the skin began to twist and deform continuously, and Cu Chulainn let out a heart-piercing scream. His body began to mutate rapidly, and the human characteristics gradually disappeared, and finally turned into an ugly giant werewolf.

Todd sighed and tried to persuade him one last time: "Cuchulin, your master Scathach asked me to take you back. Do you really want to disobey her?"

Cu Chulainn, who had turned into a giant wolf, held a red spear and said intermittently: "I... the hero of Ulster... for this country... destroy all enemies..."

Todd shook his head. He knew very well that the negotiations had officially broken down.

Spreading its wings and erecting its upper body, the black dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, and a ball of fire spewed out from its mouth, flying towards the giant wolf.

Cu Chulainn bit the spear in his mouth, and using all four limbs together, he jumped on the ground vigorously, avoiding the attack of the fireball.

After landing, Cu Chulainn quickly accumulated strength in his limbs, and struck Todd's side like an arrow from the string.

Todd, who had been prepared for a long time, flapped his dragon wings violently, his body left the ground, and began to fly into the air.

Seeing the black dragon flying higher and higher, Cu Chulainn took the scarlet spear from his mouth and put it in his right hand. He put his body in a javelin-throwing posture, and concentrated all his strength on his arms.

The crimson spear in Cu Chulainn's hands seemed to be a magical weapon that was constantly absorbing the essence. The color became more and more vivid, and the red light became more and more dazzling.

Waiting for the red light to soar to the maximum, the giant wolf let out a howl, and the spear in his hand turned into a straight red light like a bullet in his hand, flying straight towards the black dragon in midair.

Todd, who was always watching the situation below from the corner of his eyes, saw the attacking spear and quickly adjusted the angle of flight. But what he didn't expect was that the flying weapon actually drew an arc in the air, flying towards him as if it had eyes.

Seeing the approaching red light in his eyes, Todd's pupils constricted. He had no time to change the flight trajectory, so he could only rely on instinct to dodge at the moment the spear approached.

The scarlet spear missed his body, but pierced through his dragon wings.

An angry dragon howl resounded across the sky. Todd looked at the wound on the dragon's wing. The "regeneration" ability didn't work at all. The wound gradually spread like a sackcloth burned by a raging fire, getting bigger and bigger.

Even though he tried his best to flap the dragon wings on the other side, Todd still lost his balance, and his whole body stumbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the attack was successful, Cu Chulainn, who was overjoyed, lowered his body, using all four limbs, and ran towards the direction where Todd landed.

Todd, who fell to the ground, overwhelmed several tall trees and fell into a large bush.

Seeing Cu Chulainn's tyrannical giant wolf rushing towards him, Todd raised his head, opened the dragon's mouth, and spit out a huge pillar of fire towards the direction of the opponent's attack.

Cu Chulainn looked at the flames in his vision, stopped quickly, and jumped sideways behind the trees.

The pillar of fire scorched everything on the road, and the trees, grass, and soil were instantly ignited, and in a blink of an eye, the entire forest became a red-flamed purgatory. Even Cu Chulainn was unable to dodge in time, and his hair was stained with a little flame.

Rolling in a panic on the ground, Cu Chulainn, who extinguished the flames on his body, lowered his head to look at his scorched hair, stepped back cautiously, and began to carefully walk around the periphery of the forest, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Todd gathered the injured dragon wings, stared at the enemy's constantly moving figure, and kept blocking the opponent's attacking path with the flames in his mouth.

As the battle progressed, Todd felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and the burning sensation from the wound on the dragon wing made him feel dizzy.

Cú Chulainn watched Todd show his fatigue and pushed forward step by step. He stared at the latter's neck and straightened his sharp claws.

Just at the moment when the danger was approaching, the cry of the griffin came from the sky.

A feathered arrow was mixed with great force, shot from the sky to the ground, and ruthlessly pierced into the back of the giant wolf.

Cu Chulainn wailed in pain. He raised his head through the gaps in the trees, first looked at the silver-haired Valkyrie high in the sky and aimed at himself again with his bow and arrow, and then looked at the injured black dragon not far away. Unwilling, he slowly retreated to the edge of the forest, and ran to the north without looking back.
