Chapter 23
1
The hollow in the crack in the sky is like a ravenous beast, but it is this unintentional crack that prevented the two "Dragon Language Magic" from attacking the ground, preventing massive casualties on the ground, which I didn't want to see. As a Holy Dragon, it is my duty to observe and "protect," these two words, for humans, both one million three hundred thousand years ago and one million three hundred thousand years later. The protection of the weak and the strong, I have no regrets.
No matter how powerful the power is, there will always be a time when it runs out. Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to face reality.
The collision of Magic gradually dissipated, and the crack, without a stronger force to sustain it, began to heal, leaving behind a howling wind. The roaring wind couldn't hide the exhaustion of the two dragons as they continued to fly in the sky, with their deafening dragon roars. Everyone looked up at the sky, no one dared to let go of anything solid in their hands in the chaotic hurricane, lest it be blown away.
The two dragons in the sky clearly had no intention of attacking the enemy, only circling in the sky as if waiting for some kind of instruction. But no matter what the instruction was, they could no longer continue to fight.
A figure fell vertically between them, and in that state, the only possibility for that figure was "me," but not the "me" who was the Holy Dragon just now, and certainly not the "me" of the Demon Dragon. This was a completely new "me."
"Qin Yang is falling! President, we..." Hanya didn't finish her sentence before Elena interrupted her.
"Don't go over there, I can't sense whether he is the Holy Dragon or the Demon Dragon." Elena held Hanya back with one hand, her gaze fixed on the sky. She couldn't tell who it was.
"Hahaha! No matter who he is, this is the last moment that he won't survive." The fake Elder broke free from the Demon Dragon's restraint and flew rapidly into the sky, wielding his artifact, the "Panic Shield," and raising it high, emitting a strong light, ready to deliver a fatal blow to me.
"Do you think this is a good opportunity?" I asked.
"What?" He hesitated, and my head naturally lowered. When my head was parallel to his, I saw that I had opened my eyes, and a mix of horror and reverence crossed his mind.
The blood-red eye on the left - the source of fear.
The azure-blue eye on the right - the source of reverence.
Energy threads of different colors stretched out from my back, one white thread containing Light Magic, and one black thread containing Dark Magic. The energy threads launched an attack on him, and Liali instinctively raised his shield. With a resounding clash, Liali was sent flying, crashing into the ground and creating a huge pit.
I was surrounded by black and white energy threads, floating in the air, in an exalted pose, completely disregarding his shield.
"Has God fallen, or have mortals become divine? Why can't I see the righteousness that God should have in you?" I spoke, puzzled by what God should look like, but I didn't see it in him. "But instead, I see a demon."
"To us, God is just a code name, nothing more." Liali struggled to half-kneel.
"Meaningless? Then you're not worthy of being a god!" I pointed with my right hand, and the energy thread flew out, deeply piercing into the mountain on the ground. Liali was very fortunate to have avoided it.
"Worthiness or not, it's for us to decide." Liali raised his shield, and when the "Panic Shield" shone brightly, suddenly Liali's shoulder was pierced!
"Do you think such tricks can work on dragons?" I remained calm and composed.
"Why?" He didn't understand why his tried-and-true tricks didn't work.
"Huh? Why? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Why do you need so many reasons?" The energy thread mercilessly pierced his body again, and blood flowed uncontrollably from the wound.
"One final question, where are the people who died in the family battle?"
"I...I don't..." Liali only managed to utter two words when I suddenly pulled on the energy thread, slashing horizontally. His divine shield was completely split in half, becoming nothing but waste.
"Think carefully before you answer. I'll give you one last chance."
"Gulp..." Liali swallowed hard. At this stage, there was no one who could help him, and he didn't understand why the Demon Dragon appeared, how an empty shell without a soul could move, let alone control a dragon. He also didn't understand why the two giant dragons stopped fighting, why Qin Yang's magic suddenly recovered so much, and why there was absolutely no possibility of resistance anymore. He had too many unanswered questions, but no time to think. He had to answer immediately, or the next thing to be severed would be him.
"They... will be secretly refined and then sealed in magic tools or arrays, becoming spiritual entities. These spiritual entities, known as 'Qiling,' are the souls of the magic tools or arrays after being blood-sacrificed. This method of forcibly grafting souls is something almost no one is willing to do. Once becoming a Qiling, they are forever trapped here, waiting for the commands of the owner of the object, forever enslaved."
"Buzz!" More than a dozen different powerful magic arrays suddenly appeared on Liali's body. Each array was extremely sinister and vicious, leaving no other option but death once activated.
"Nofice! Back off!" Nofice inexplicably came out on her own, the staff covered in a red glow. On her icy and emotionless face, there was actually anger present. She was clearly in battle mode; shouldn't she have had a different expression?
"... I know!" It took Nofice struggling for nearly thirty seconds to retract all the magic arrays. She has always been obedient, but today was different.
However, when I think about it, Nofice is, in fact, a Qiling. She is a black and white feathered Angel sealed in darkness for countless years. It's likely that her lack of emotions is what remains after slowly being eroded away.
"What about Qin Hui's soul?"
"She... hasn't had the chance yet, so she is still with me." Liali took out a pink crystal. It turns out that our crystals are primarily used to seal people's souls.
When I obtained Qin Hui's soul, I laughed and said, "You know, once you're taken out, you'll die."
"I didn't have a choice in the first place, did I?"
"Hmm! That's right, then I won't hold back!" With those words, I suddenly pulled my hands back, and the Holy Dragon and Demon Dragon swords appeared at the same time. It took no effort at all to draw these two swords. Holding them both, I swiftly flew toward Liali, ready to make him disappear with a single strike.
With the black and white weapons, I charged toward Liali, but he unexpectedly moved backward. There was actually someone behind him, pulling him back. The thing that faced my two swords was actually a Western-style spear, but it had no resistance at all against my two swords and instantly turned to pieces.
"Brother!" Liali was truly stunned, not expecting his brother to appear.
"Younger brother, the higher-ups know about what's happening here, and I came to help! Call me if you need anything—I'm the closest to your location."
"Two brothers fight together, does that make you content?" Magic power gathered on the two swords, and their powerful aura couldn't be shaken. "Let's stick to the old rule—victory or defeat with one strike!"
The swords were aimed at the two brothers...
