The golden ray lasted for more than ten minutes and slowly faded away. The ray shrank and disappeared into the air after several seconds.
Angele lowered his hand, stepped forward, and peeked through the hole that was made by the blade.
The hole was filled up with a golden substance that looked like liquid and was slowly rotating.
Angele quickly drew several dark-red runes around the hole and created a rune circle, surrounding it in the middle
He tapped on the rune circle slightly and leaped away after finis.h.i.+ng the last rune.
*BAM*
Golden light spurted out of the hole and turned into an eye-blinding glowing golden coc.o.o.n.
"Finally… The dimension fissure of wizard world…" Narrowing his eyes, Angele stared at the coc.o.o.n quietly.
An energy wave that did not belong to the wizard world was released from the coc.o.o.n.
He checked his belongings and made sure that the flame lion was still guarding the well. Angele hesitated for a second and slowly approached the golden coc.o.o.n.
*CHI*
He disappeared into the coc.o.o.n with some light noise.
**************************
*Rumble*
The dark clouds were boiling in the sky as the thunder rumbled.
On a large dark plain, there were tall trees that shot into the sky. The trees were so tall that they looked like black pillars connecting the land and the sky. Every object on the land was covered with thick black ashes and there was no living being in the area.
The sky was completely dark.
Suddenly, a golden light dot appeared beside a tree. The light dot quickly increased in size and turned into a golden coc.o.o.n, releasing eye-blinding light.
A man in black slowly stepped out of the coc.o.o.n. The coc.o.o.n shrank and disappeared into the air after the man landed on the ground.
Angele checked his belongings.
"I didn"t lose anything…" He put his right hand on the black tree and raised his head.
The black tree was so tall that Angele could not even see its crown.
*CHI*
Angele lowered his right hand and noticed that his hand was covered with some sticky liquid that had the texture of a glue.
"This place…" Angele waved his right hand as his brow furrowed. The sticky texture of the tree trunk was unpleasant.
*Woo*
A ball of pink flame appeared on his hand. The sticky liquid dried after contacting the flame, it turned into pieces of solid white substance and dropped to the ground.
"Did I teleport to the wrong area?" Angele could not recall if the area was recorded in the information provided by Prince Evil Dragon.
The chilling wind brushed over Angele"s body and a stinky smell permeated the air. The ground was covered with thick black ash and it felt like stepping on a soft carpet.
Angele crouched and grabbed some black ash.
"Something was burnt in flames and the ash is what left of it…" Angele had visited Eye Devil"s territory in the Nightmare Realm and the black ash looked familiar to him.
Angele dropped the ash to the ground, stood up, and glanced around.
The area was empty and all he could see was darkness. The black trees were standing on the endless plain quietly and the distance between each of the trees was long.
Angele lowered his hand and hid in the silky black robe.
He sniffed at the air and his expression changed.
"Warning! Warning! Eggs of unknown parasites detected in the air. Danger level unknown. a.n.a.lyzing the air…" Zero"s warning echoed in his ears.
"a.n.a.lysis completed: 56% parasite eggs, 32% unknown combustible gas, 10% nitrogen, and 2% unknown poisonous gas. Suggestion: Stop breathing and cycle the energy particles in your body."
Red light flashed on Angele"s face as he stopped breathing. Seconds later, he exhaled some black gas from his mouth.
"This place is dangerous…" Raising his hand, he started drawing white runes in the air. Angele chanted some incantation in a low voice, the runes rotated around his body, and slowly disappeared into the air.
*WOO*
Angele inhaled deeply and then felt much better.
"I wish I knew an air purification spell, but it seems like I"ll have to rely on the energy particles." Angele raised his left foot and stepped forward.
*KA*
His left feet landed in the ash, it felt like stepping into snow. Angele started advancing step by step.
After about ten minutes, a tall black mountain appeared in the front.
The black mountain blocked the path ahead and it looked like a tall wall. On top of the mountain, there was purple lightning flas.h.i.+ng and Angele could still hear the thunder rumbling.
Raising his head, Angele looked at the mountain.
"Finally, I"m here…" Angele recalled the coordinates Prince Evil Dragon gave him and started moving again.
After about half an hour, Angele arrived at an entrance to a small path.
The entrance was built on a hill—it was the path that could lead him to the top of the mountain. Stones piled up on both sides of the path and the soaring wind sounded like ghosts making noise.
Angele did not hesitate, he stepped on the path and started climbing the mountain.
After advancing on the twisted path for about two hours, Angele finally reached the end of the path.
By the end of the path, there was a black cave with a height of 60 meters and a width of 30 meters. It looked like a large black mouth with chilling wind coming out of it.
Angele felt like he was standing beside the mouth of a giant.
"Glen Van Vartan… Do you remember an old friend that visited you 1000 years ago…?" Angele sent the message into the cave and his voice echoed.
No one responded but Angele was not nervous, he just waited quietly by the entrance.
After about ten minutes, an old, weak voice came from the cave.
"Sorry… I haven"t talked in years and I forgot how to use my voice… I didn"t expect that someone still knows about my existence… Come in please…" The voice was speaking in Metia but it sounded hoa.r.s.e and tired.
"Do you mind if I bring some light with me?"
"I don"t."
Angele pursed his lips into a smile.
*PA*
With a flick of his finger, a white glowing flame circle appeared around his body. The circle was made of white flames and floated in the air. The chilling wind from the cave made the flames lean.
The light from the flames brightened up the area around Angele"s body.
*Crackle*
A blue lightning flashed in the sky and the sky turned white for a second.
Angele slowly stepped into the cave with the white flame circle.
It was deadly silent in the s.p.a.cious cave, it felt like the darkness ahead was leading him into the abyss.
Several minutes later, the area became warm and Angele could hear something breathing. The noise was getting louder and louder as he advanced.
With the help of the white light, Angele saw a humongous creature lying on its stomach in the front.
It was a dragon.
The dragon looked identical to an enormous white lizard and had more than ten pairs of white wings. The wings looked identical to the ones the bats had.
The dragon"s ears looked like two sharp blades and it had no eyes. There were only a large mouth and a nose on its face.
It surprised Angele that although the dragon was around 40 meters long, it looked extremely weak and its body was surrounded by a frost aura. Also, its skin looked translucent for some reason.
Angele narrowed his eyes. "You"re probably the last eye-gouging dragon in this world…"
The distance between Angele and the dragon was around 30 meters, but they had no problem talking to each other.
"Well, you might be right…" The dragon"s skin was covered with wrinkles, the dragon"s skin was no longer glowing, and there was a rotten smell in the air.
"Sorry, I"m too old to move… Also, it seemed like my back has already become part of the stone wall because I stayed here for too long…"
The dragon inhaled deeply and spoke slowly. Its breath created a vortex in the cave.
"It has been a while since the last living being visited me… I don"t care about your intention, evil, selfish, or just. As long as you can make me feel that I"m still alive, and the smell… Your smell makes me feel that I still exist in this world…"
"My smell? You mean the energy? Do you know why I"m here then?" Angele questioned in a light tone.
The dragon moved its head slightly and responded in a deep tone, "Yes… You"re surrounded by the frost energy of a young one in my race… Get closer to me, son…"
Angele narrowed his eyes, hesitated for a second, and walked to the dragon.
He noticed that the dragon"s claw had the size of a wheel after he approached it. It was the first time that he saw such an enormous creature lying right in front of him.
It was obvious that the dragon"s claw had shrunk in size and was not sharp at all, but it was still extremely hard.
Angele felt like he was an ant that was standing in front of a lizard.
The dragon moved his head to Angele slowly and Angele could see the long black hair in the dragon"s nose and the boogers that coated the hair.
*Woo*
The dragon inhaled deeply.
Angele quickly grabbed his pouch as the dragon almost sucked his pouch into its nose.
"Ah… how familiar… It"s a young one from my race… He"s strong… I know why you"re here now…" the old dragon quickly understood Angele"s intention.
"So, can you help me?" Angele questioned in a deep tone.
The dragon hesitated. "I"m sorry… My power weakened and I can"t remove the dragon breath from you. Although he"s one of us, his power is much stronger than mine… The dragon breath is more than ten thousand years old…"
"Is there another way to do this? Do you have any information related to the dragon breath? Or can you just release some dragon breath so I can do some research on it?" Angele said as he took out a dark red brick.
"This red jade brick will help you recover your stamina."
He carefully threw the jade brick into the dragon"s terrifying mouth.
