Chapter 348: Chapter 272 Scarlet Blade (5)
Finally, Cassius looked at Klein.
He had just felt very uncomfortable, as if he was being watched by sothing. And now, he had finally found the source of that feeling.
A mage rumored to be related to the Tower of Ti.
The Red Dragon gazed at the mage dressed in a blue-black robe, slightly lowering his head. Flas flickered in his pale golden pupils.
“You… what are you doing?”
Klein’s expression was one of utter fear. He had never encountered an enemy that could render his proud abilities completely ineffective.
...
“No, I can’t wait any longer. I need to leave here!”
His usual calm and confident deanor crumbled the mont he heard that voice.
Klein raised his magic wand, muttering an incantation, and released a spell model he had long been constructing.
With the intense fluctuation of the Magic Web, the intricate magic circuit appeared in midair, causing the surrounding space to warp in a rhythmic pattern, finally creating a ring-shaped portal.
[Festan Tilos’s Portal]
“Roar——”
However, the next mont, the Red Dragon broke through the air, appearing in front of Klein. The flas spiraling around its wings destroyed the yet-to-be-stabilized portal.
“Did I allow you to leave?”
Cassius swung his claw fiercely, aiming to grab the mage just as he had done before.
Imdiately before the Red Dragon could touch Klein, intense spatial fluctuations erged around him once more.
This spell triggered almost instantly, relocating Klein several ters away and continuously generating spatial fluctuations to help him break free from the Pri Material Plane.
It was the renowned Ninth Tier Spell—
[Yrminsul’s Escape]
This was an improved trigger spell. When one of the preset conditions was t, it could automatically teleport the mage to a preset location.
However, the Red Dragon’s imposing presence emitted a nearly tangible Dragon’s Might, constantly interfering with the teleportation spell’s triggering.
This forced Klein to split his attention to maintain the stability of the spell model.
“Roar!”
With a low roar, Cassius flapped his wings, instantly arriving in front of Klein, about to unleash an antimagic ray.
In a panic, Klein took out a golden pocket watch from his bosom, gritting his teeth and pressing it.
“Ding.”
Suddenly, the wind stopped, sand and stones hung motionless in the air, and even the rushing river ceased its flow.
Everything seed to co to a halt before him. Only the Red Dragon continued to move, albeit almost imperceptibly slowly.
[Ti Stop]
The principle of this spell was not to stop ti worldwide, but to control the ti flow around oneself, making one’s actions so fast they barely consud any ti.
“What a terrifying dragon.”
Klein couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and put away the golden pocket watch.
Facing such a formidable enemy, he dared not be careless and couldn’t afford to waste this precious ti, so he imdiately raised his magic wand and began chanting a spell.
The surrounding space twisted, and his figure beca phantom-like.
Klein intended to use the star realm’s veins to travel to what he considered the safest place—a special plane near all the Outer Planes, a completely neutral negotiation site, the Outlands.
anwhile, in the Pri Material Plane, Cassius saw Klein instantly vanish from in front of him, with spatial fluctuations still lingering around.
“Ti stop?”
“Damn mage.”
The Red Dragon couldn’t help but mutter angrily, a trace of irritation in his expression. He disliked the feeling he had just experienced.
So he closed his eyes, and the power of the Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye allowed him to see a part of the past and a part of the impending future.
Cassius couldn’t understand the spatial coordinates of the spell, but that didn’t hinder him from using the Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye to track Klein.
“I will catch you.”
“How can I let you escape when you’re already within reach?”
Cassius directly twisted reality with his will, brutally tearing space apart and chasing after him.
This was the Magician’s “Power of Deep Thinking.” Unlike mages who were precise and logically rigorous, it was simple yet effective.
…
The star realm.
“Phew… what a terrifying dragon.”
Klein sighed in relief beside the star realm color pond, once again exclaiming, silently grateful for escaping the Red Dragon’s clutches.
However, in the next mont, the surrounding space abruptly warped, and a dinsion rift, engulfed in burning flas, appeared. The massive body of the Red Dragon erged from it.
Cassius looked down at him, spreading his broad wings, casting an enormous shadow over him.
“Annoying mage, don’t you understand the most basic manners?”
“Who—allowed you to leave without permission?”
Klein’s complexion suddenly turned pale, and sweat the size of beans poured down his forehead.
“No, no…”
He collapsed to the ground, scrambling backward with all his limbs in a pathetic display.
The legendary equipnt [Chrono Pocket Watch] had exhausted its charges, and none of his thods worked against this dragon.
Klein’s life might be near its end.
This mage from the Tower of Ti never expected his life to end during a seemingly ordinary dragon-slaying mission in the remote North. He had glimpsed his future countless tis but never foresaw such a tragic conclusion.
The Red Dragon approached step by step, unhurried—for he was waiting for the arrival of certain beings.
Just as Klein closed his eyes in despair, a tender voice sounded.
“Your Majesty Cassius, please show rcy.”
The Red Dragon knew the being he was waiting for had arrived.
A strange dragon walked out of the void, appearing behind Klein.
Its shimring gray scales clung tightly to its elegant form, with no discernible ridges, creating a smooth appearance. Its twin horns were small, unford nubs.
Most frightening was that, judging by this dragon’s body proportions and developnt, it was still a whelp but possessed a colossal body over twenty ters long, unimaginable for any ordinary giant dragons.
“As expected… a Chrono Dragon.”
Cassius uttered the na.
The Chrono Dragon, the most powerful legendary dragon breed, was also the force behind the Tower of Ti.
These graceful dragons commanded the power of ti, able to manipulate the past, present, and future. They were the only truly immortal non-divine giant dragons.
In the plot of the previous life, the Tower of Ti was also a mysterious entity, wandering the river of ti and often guiding history from the shadows.
Even the players who knew them best were rely lower-level ti mages, unable to access the secrets of the Tower of Ti’s higher tiers.
“You, you’re here. Save , get out of here!”
“I knew it, I knew the Tower of Ti wouldn’t forget !”
Seeing the arrival of the Chrono Dragon, Klein clutched at the last straw to save his life, calling out urgently for help.
However, the Chrono Dragon whelp ignored the human mage’s pleas, instead nodding respectfully at the nearby Red Dragon, posing neither overly humble nor arrogant.
“So we et again, or should I say… for the first ti, Your Majesty Cassius.”
“Tarrin Ackerman sends his regards and brings the goodwill of the Tower of Ti.”
