Chapter 985: Chapter 55: Subduing the Bone Dragon
Ah Dai finally broke free from the rooftop, his body weak and feeble like it was falling apart, plummeting toward the ground. Sheng Xie didn’t bother to chase after the Bone Dragon; instead, it flapped its huge dragon wings to meet him. Catching Ah Dai on its back, it then descended. Ah Dai sat between the first and the second Golden Horn on Sheng Xie’s head, gasping for breath and clutching the first horn, as the remnants of True Qi inside him healed his injured body, sending waves of weakness through him.
Sheng Xie roared and stepped toward the Bone Dragon. Feeling the threat of death, the enormous body of the Bone Dragon started trembling. Ah Dai’s heart softened, he patted Sheng Xie’s back, and said, "Forget it, don’t kill it. It’s just being used by those bad people, killing it won’t solve anything." The Bone Dragon nodded repeatedly, giving a pitiful look. Under the recent attack of Sheng Xie’s Divine Energy, it seemed to have gained some awareness.
Sheng Xie paused, stopped in its tracks, and snorted at the Bone Dragon, which then collapsed on the ground in fear, daring not to move. Ah Dai turned to look at the magicians. They seemed to have been frozen, including the six Old Magicians who came out later, all staring blankly at Ah Dai. The black six-pointed star was enveloped in colorful light, unable to release dark creatures anymore. The situation was finally under control. Yan Shi and Yan Li had also charged in, their clothes tattered, revealing parts of the Giant Spirit Snake Skin vest underneath. They too had never seen Sheng Xie and stood dumbfounded.
Barely controlling his body, Ah Dai jumped down from Sheng Xie’s back, his body swaying and nearly falling upon landing. Concern filled Sheng Xie’s golden eyes as it rubbed its head against Ah Dai, seeming to inquire about his injury. Ah Dai said softly, "Xiao Qie, I’m fine. I don’t want to kill this Bone Dragon, what should we do?"
Sheng Xie blinked, lifted a front claw, and pointed at Ah Dai’s chest, humming softly. Ah Dai’s heart stirred, and he immediately understood Sheng Xie’s intention, whispering, "Too many people here, you should go back first. With Dragon’s Blood as my guide, open the gate of time and space." Blue light shone from Ah Dai’s chest; the Bone Dragon was sucked in first, followed by Sheng Xie, who entered into the Dragon’s Blood under the illumination of the blue light.
Ah Dai collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath. He urgently needed to find a place to heal. As Sheng Xie vanished, the crowd gradually recovered from their surprise. Yan Shi and Yan Li quickly stepped forward to help Ah Dai up. Yan Li asked, "Ah Dai, what exactly is going on? What were those two huge creatures just now?"
The six Old Magicians, surrounded by other magicians, encircled them. Sida said, "Young man, what kind of magic was that? It was so powerful; to summon such huge creatures is unbelievable. Summoning Magic has long been lost; where did you learn it?"
Ah Dai gave a wry smile and said, "Don’t ask me, I, I..." Intense dizziness overwhelmed Ah Dai, causing him to collapse into Yan Shi’s arms. Fainting, perhaps, was the best way to answer everyone’s questions.
The only Earth Mage among the six Old Magicians frowned and said, "This child has overextended himself, let him rest for now. I am Kary, the President of the Mage Guild, an Earth Magus. Thank you for your help. Please come with us to the back."
Yan Shi looked at Ah Dai’s weak condition and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Chairman Kary."
Kary turned and looked at the surrounding magicians, saying soberly, "No one is to speak of today’s event. Leonker, go find someone to repair the Guild’s building. No one is to approach that sealed Dark Passage. Five elders, please personally visit the Sacrifice Hall in the city and invite the Bishop back, maybe his Light Magic can completely eliminate the Dark Passage." Given the strained relations between the Empire of Huasheng and the Church, there was a Sacrifice Hall in the City of Light, but the priests generally did not interact with common people, and only big figures from the Magic Guild had the power to invite their Bishop. Fortunately, the Black Robed Magician who used Forbidden Magic was not powerful enough to unleash the true power of this Forbidden Magic; otherwise, even the five grand elders combined with Chairman Kary might not have been able to seal that Dark Passage.
The five elders nodded and departed on their mission. Kary then said to Yan Shi and Yan Li, "Come with me." Following that, he turned and walked toward the back.
Without asking anything from Yan Shi and his brother, Kary arranged a large room for them and had a Water Element Magician from the Guild provide basic treatment to Ah Dai. Ah Dai’s internal organs had been shaken, and under the treatment of the Water Element Magician, his condition gradually stabilized. However, due to the excessive consumption of his strength, he could not regain consciousness for the time being. Kary also provided a lot of food for the Yan Shi brothers, telling them to call the guard at the door to find him once Ah Dai woke up.
After everything was arranged, Kary led more than ten members of the Magic Guild straight to the City Lord’s Mansion in the City of Light. Although Kary did not show any emotion on the surface, he was extremely angry inside. This enemy’s attack was clearly premeditated; so many assassins and Dark Magicians appearing in the City of Light without him receiving any information was shocking. The enemy even used such Forbidden Magic like devil summoning, clearly intending to destroy the Magic Guild and perhaps even the City of Light. The nefarious intent shocked the seasoned Earth Magus. He realized that this attack was not just aimed at the Magic Guild but was also against the entirety of the Empire of Huasheng.
