Chapter 298: Black Dragon
Translator: 549690339
The palace seed even more serene in the deep night.
Su Lu approached the palace wall and ran vertically straight up it.
Enhanced by the augntation of [Agile Steps LV4], he landed 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 palace.
Su Lu silently smirked as a shadow clone erged and ventured forth to investigate.
The clone inherited his [Shadow Warrior] abilities, proficient in concealnt 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.
“So places, I must attack forcefully!”
His actual self and the shadow clone stealthily approached in the shadowy surroundings.
Flas from the candles flickered, occasionally exploding with small sparks of noise.
Crackle!
At the mont the next fla flickered, Su Lu and his shadow clone moved simultaneously!
They pounced like cheetahs, their right hand muffling the guards’ mouths and their left landing a heavy blow.
Thud! Thud!
After two sounds, both guards fell, only to be caught by them and gently laid on the ground.
Opening the door, there was another space inside where the princess’s maid and palace’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 an excellent assassin, or thief!”
He grimaced, then opened the door to the princess’s bedroom.
Before his eyes was a platinum-haired girl in a nightgown lying on the bed, clutching a necklace in her hand.
“Hmm? Sothing’s not right!”
Su Lu imdiately sensed the anomaly and quickly approached.
Roar! Roar!
Although subtle, a pressure of a high caliber originated from the ssiah, or to be specific, from the necklace 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 ssiah a few tis, his expression suddenly turning a little strange: “This seems to be… my fault!”
The trouble ssiah was in, originated from the Dragon Crystal on the True Dragon Necklace!
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 imdiately 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 ssiah is too young, still a re mortal!”
At that mont, it seed as if sensing his presence, spikes erged on the Dragon Crystal’s surface, cutting ssiah’s hand and making her bleed.
The Dragon Crystal lined up with the bloody cut, as though trying to burrow in.
“A complete fusion? If so, ultimately, would ssiah take control or would so imprint resurrect in an unconventional manner?”
Su Lu sneered, knowing that physical thods would be infeasible to separate ssiah from the Dragon Crystal at this point.
This is a Ritual!
Protected by mysterious magical power!
“This will be troubleso…”
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 ti.”
He decided to start from the mind realm to rescue ssiah.
After all, it was his fault that this crisis occurred.
However, he had taken preventative asures. A shadow clone was next to him. If anything went wrong or if soone noticed sothing was off, the clone would imdiately awaken his main body.
“Soul trance!”
Su Lu, who was comfortably 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 second layer, the mind realm!”
Su Lu took a deep spiritual breath: “Fortunately… that’s enough.”
He jumped again, ca to the Sea of Mind. In front of him was a glowing cluster of secret realm, inside which seed 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, perford a Heart Trick, and entered ssiah’s ntal secret realm.
Blue sky, white clouds, plain windmills, a huge and beautiful castle that seed 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 ters 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 black dragon, covered entirely in delicate scales and a layer of keratin.
It had a sharp triangular 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 similar to a bat’s, with three claws on the wingtips, and a long snake-like neck coiled up, occasionally spewing fire.
A fearso dragon might was recklessly spreading, causing chaos in the castle.
The black dragon’s target, undoubtedly, was Princess ssiah in the castle’s core.
It wanted to completely swallow her consciousness, accomplishing so kind of ‘resurrection’!
Boom!
The fla swept over, blowing up a roof and revealing Princess ssiah hiding within.
“No! Soone save !”
ssiah held her head, and her face was covered in tears.
Her mind defense was as hilariously ineffective as a paper doll in front of the giant dragon.
The next mont, the huge and ferocious dragon head descended and opened its giant mouth, seemingly intending to swallow her whole.
Crumph!
ssiah closed her eyes, but she didn’t feel any pain.
“Hey, princess! I think you need a knight!”
A sowhat teasing voice ca. 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 rging with a small part of the dragon crystal has made you ‘extraordinary’, you can distinguish the difference in spiritual energy…”
Su Lu smiled, and ssiah seed a bit stunned.
