Chapter 1267: Chapter 200: The Half-Revealed Identity and the Flying Unyielding Fortress
The suddenly appearing Dark Gold Dragon showed up now and here just to hunt them!
(Damn it, communication is completely blocked, I canât even contact father using the Heart Light Body)
Aina fixed her gaze tightly on the Dark Gold Behemoth in front of her. The creature was clad in metal armor that resembled an exoskeleton, and it was an Earth-attributed True Dragon. Its stance was very familiar... without a doubt, this was the posture of the âQing Steel Dragonâ!
Although the color was different, the pose and bloodline were undeniably genuine!
The Qing Steel Stone vein discovered in the underground cavity of Half Moon Lake originated from a young Qing Steel Dragon, marking the beginning of the discovery of the Exotic Species Research Institute. Now thinking back, this might have been a conspiracy between the Dark Gold True Dragon and a certain high-ranking official of Canaan Moore!
(Chairman Yafarda blocked communications and the space at the entrance... theyâre in cahoots! Right after the chairman sealed the space, it appeared immediately, which clearly shows coordination!)
Convinced of this, Aina also turned around, faintly standing beside Mahdi.
Although he wasnât sure what Mahdi intended to do here... snatching the Source of Dragon Blood, seizing the Divine Marrow of the Dragon, and grabbing the core chip data didnât seem like tasks a wandering knight and his disciple could accomplish. This definitely required a base, and if there truly was such a base, The Empire would have prophesied it already.
Yet, the opponentâs strength and integrity were already demonstrated in the earlier fist and blade exchangesâif Mahdi had acted sneakily, the seven of them clashing with him wouldnât have come out unscathed.
In addition, Elg and the Necrocaller, Ian and Anfa, also slowly approached, vaguely forming an array.
Indeed. No one would actually change their target just because of one sentence from Mahdi. They were still fighting for their lives just seconds ago; how could the switch be so swift?
It was simply because everyone sensed the Dark Gold Colossus Dragonâs unreserved want, an unambiguous malice toward the physical bloodlines of themselves and others.
Even âGolanâ was no exception.
[...He knows of my existence]
Campari gravely addressed Golan, the true owner of the body: [This dragonâs main focus is on me and that kid from The Unyielding Fortress... Interesting, this dragon possesses a body strong and nearly at the pinnacle, yet it hasnât continued to sublimate. Perhaps itâs been in the ruins too long and has forgotten how to elevate itself, or just doesnât understand how to advance?]
[So, it needs a wisp of soul at the âFifth Energy Levelâ like mine to awaken the slumbering power within the body for a final sublimation?]
The Elf Girlâs voice rose with a trace of implication: [Old Ancestor, should we join forces with Mahdi and the others?]
[Honestly] the old man replied blandly: [This probably isnât for us to choose]
[Interesting] At that moment, a grand and dignified human voice emanated from the dragonâs throat, a voice resembling the sound of millions united: [Youâd rather fight against me than against him? Why not continue your previous battle?]
"Enough with the cat and mouse games,"
The black-haired knight stepped forward, staring coldly: "If youâre truly confident, why not just strike at once?"
One person and one dragon, six eyes meeting two. Scarlet dragon eyes met silvery pupils in the void.
Instantly, a gale swept over the boundless plain, the fierce wind howling, while the intangible clash of auras even stirred a substantive impact.
Beside the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, the exobeast tides swarming like water eddied and collapsed. The modification chips in the brains of these monsters and their iron interfaces burst with sparks, followed by explosions, causing them to fall dead with blood spewing.
However, Mahdiâs face suddenly changed. The wounds healing mostly over his body abruptly tore open, spurting large amounts of blood, almost causing him to stagger and kneel on one knee.
[Oh?]
The Dark Gold Dragon appeared intrigued: [You actually withstand itâresisting despite soul collapse, your soul even harder than your body... Haha... so itâs you!]
In just a thought, it grasped the true identity of the person before it, unable to resist its wild delight.
ââThe other was just like itself, an inheritor of the Pioneerâs legacy, a holder of the Star Godâs Rites power!
It had waited countless years, emerging piece by piece from the nihility data treasury, gaining a body and a dream, drawing step by step close to its final desire... finally, today was the day it would become whole again!
And at this very moment.
Under Campariâs manipulation, Golanâs form was surrounded by black smoke.
But that was not actually smoke, rather materialized subspace fragments.
The âNational Domainâ blood was precisely the virtual-real blood capable of manipulating subspace energy. Its power, unlike the Silver Gate capable of spatial transportation and manipulation, in essence, allowed the National Domain series to transform themselves into an independent subspace fragment, embedded within the current spatial-time.
In this way, Sublimators of the National Domain series could easily achieve instantaneous space-time traversals, hide in peopleâs shadows, or perform shocking assassinations like extracting someoneâs heart from inside their body.
Itâs precisely because of this that the National Domain series could develop so many techniques that ignore defense and directly attack the essence of life.
Just like now, Golanâs body suddenly vanished.
