Chapter 298: ck Dragon


    Trantor: 549690339


    The pce seemed even more serene in the deep night.


    Su Lu approached the pce wall and ran vertically straight up it.


    Enhanced by the augmentation of [Agile Steps LV4], hended without a sound, his figure hidden in the darkness as he continued deeper along the routes he had scouted in daylight.


    After passing through a door, the patrols of guards increased significantly. He must have reached the true center of the pce.


    Su Lu silently smirked as a shadow clone emerged and ventured forth to investigate.


    The clone inherited his [Shadow Warrior] abilities, proficient in concealment and utilising the darkness. If it was unable to escape, it could directly dematerialize.


    “The princess’s bedroom should be over here.”


    The shadow clone approached a passageway, noticing an attendant standing guard at the door and realizing the trouble ahead.


    “Some ces, I must attack forcefully!”


    His actual self and the shadow clone stealthily approached in the shadowy surroundings.


    mes from the candles flickered, asionally exploding with small sparks of noise.


    Crackle!


    At the moment the next me flickered, Su Lu and his shadow clone moved simultaneously!


    They pounced like cheetahs, their right hand muffling the guards’ mouths and their leftnding a heavy blow.


    Thud! Thud!


    After two sounds, both guards fell, only to be caught by them and gentlyid on the ground.


    Opening the door, there was another space inside where the princess’s maid and pce’s nanny must be sleeping.


    “Heart Trick — Drowsy!”


    Su Lu pulled out a card, and a powdery substance fell, ensuring they would sleep until broad daylight.


    “I always feel…my abilities could make me an excellent assassin, or thief!”


    He grimaced, then opened the door to the princess’s bedroom.


    Before his eyes was a tinum-haired girl in a nightgown lying on the bed, clutching a ne in her hand.


    “Hmm? Something’s not right!”


    Su Lu immediately sensed the anomaly and quickly approached.


    Roar! Roar!


    Although subtle, a pressure of a high caliber originated from the Messiah, or to be specific, from the ne in her hand.


    “Dragon Might?!”


    Su Lu was taken aback. He had been using Spirit oppression as a substitute for Dragon’s might, now he finally saw the real deal.


    Struggling against this oppressive force, he released his Inspiration to scan Messiah a few times, his expression suddenly turning a little strange: “This seems to be… my fault!”


    The trouble Messiah was in, originated from the Dragon Crystal on the True Dragon Ne!


    However, this Dragon Crystal had been quiet for hundreds of years, it was acting suspicious tonight because of him.


    “There seems to be a crack on the Dragon Crystal, leading to a leakage of power?”


    “This crack should be a weak spot caused by the absorption of experience points from the attribute bar, causing a series of chain reactions… finally acting up tonight.”


    With his abundant Mysterious Knowledge, Su Lu immediately understood what had happened.


    “For a Knight or a Wizard, a Dragon Crystal showing a slight crack is like uncovering a treasure with the doors wide open. But Messiah is too young, still a mere mortal!”


    At that moment, it seemed as if sensing his presence, spikes emerged on the Dragon Crystal’s surface, cutting Messiah’s hand and making her bleed.


    The Dragon Crystal lined up with the bloody cut, as though trying to burrow in.


    “Aplete fusion? If so, ultimately, would Messiah take control or would some imprint resurrect in an unconventional manner?”


    Su Lu sneered, knowing that physical methods would be infeasible to separate Messiah from the Dragon Crystal at this point.


    This is a Ritual!


    Protected by mysterious magical power!


    “This will be troublesome…”


    He rubbed his temples, dragged the two knights from outside into the room, randomly threw them onto the bed of the housekeeper and the maid, locked the main door and said, “I hope there’s enough time.”


    He decided to start from the mind realm to rescue Messiah.


    After all, it was his fault that this crisis urred.


    However, he had taken preventative measures. A shadow clone was next to him. If anything went wrong or if someone noticed something was off, the clone would immediately awaken his main body.


    “Soul trance!”


    Su Lu, who wasfortably settled on the sofa and had finished preparing, promptly turned his eyes white, his spiritual body jumped.


    A terrifying pressure from all around, felt like the resistance of the world.


    “It really is the Twilight of the Gods… Although I have fully recovered, in this world, I can only make contact with the secondyer, the mind realm!”


    Su Lu took a deep spiritual breath: “Fortunately… that’s enough.”


    He jumped again, came to the Sea of Mind. In front of him was a glowing cluster of secret realm, inside which seemed to be a giant dragon roaring in anger.


    “Is it eroding the mind now? There really is spiritual print left in the dragon crystal…But how much of its original power could a legendary creature that has been lingering for a thousand years still maintain?”


    Su Lu sneered, performed a Heart Trick, and entered Messiah’s mental secret realm.


    Blue sky, white clouds, in windmills, a huge and beautiful castle that seemed to be right out of a fairy tale, was located by the clear river.


    If it weren’t for the evil dragon, this would be a warming scene.


    Unfortunately, the evil dragon that was lying on the castle and causing massive destruction, totally ruined this fine feeling.


    It was a real dragon!


    Its body was over ten meters long, but unlike the giant dragon portrayed in Su Lu’s main world— a massive lizard with flesh wings— it looked normal. After all, dragon breeds from different worlds are sure to have certain differences.


    In front of Su Lu was a ck dragon, covered entirely in delicate scales and ayer of keratin.


    It had a sharp triangr head, keratin ridges on its head form a majestic crown, and a row of bone spurs ran down its spine.


    Its two stout dragon legs were stepping on the roof of the castle; it had four toes, three pointed forward and one pointed backward.


    Its wings were simr to a bat’s, with three ws on the wingtips, and a long snake-like neck coiled up, asionally spewing fire.


    A fearsome dragon might was recklessly spreading, causing chaos in the castle.


    The ck dragon’s target, undoubtedly, was Princess Messiah in the castle’s core.


    It wanted topletely swallow her consciousness, aplishing some kind of ‘resurrection’!


    Boom!


    The me swept over, blowing up a roof and revealing Princess Messiah hiding within.


    “No! Someone save me!”


    Messiah held her head, and her face was covered in tears.


    Her mind defense was as hriously ineffective as a paper doll in front of the giant dragon.


    The next moment, the huge and ferocious dragon head descended and opened its giant mouth, seemingly intending to swallow her whole.


    Crumph!


    Messiah closed her eyes, but she didn’t feel any pain.


    “Hey, princess! I think you need a knight!”


    A somewhat teasing voice came. She opened her eyes and found herself being hugged by a strange man. With the roaring wind in her ears, she had already left the castle.


    “You…you’re Garfield!”


    An intuition from her mind made the young girl affirm.


    “Huh? It seems like merging with a small part of the dragon crystal has made you ‘extraordinary’, you can distinguish the difference in spiritual energy…”


    Su Lu smiled, and Messiah seemed a bit stunned.
