Chapter 26

1

In the sea area related to the Othrie Empire and the five Eastern nations, a place where humans disappear in a short period of time, there are hundreds of thousands of people living on the large islands and passing through here, because the roar of dragons disturbs their hearts and amplifies their dark side. Whether it is a sudden betrayal or a duel that tears apart emotions, everyone who dies here dies with strong negative emotions. The underworld messengers in this area capture the souls of these deceased in large numbers and require a stronger will than ordinary messengers, otherwise they will become part of them.

The raging waves in the sea are not uncommon, but the appearance of a fault in the sea is magical. In the deep sea, there is a vertical vacuum zone with a distance of five hundred meters, which is within the area where the dragon's roar is heard. None of the six countries understand why the vacuum zone appears, just like they don't understand where the dragon's roar comes from or why those who hear the sound start to kill each other. This sea area is filled with unmanned ghost ships and vacuum zones that may disappear at any moment. But since the sound of the dragon's roar, all of this is definitely related to the dragons. Dragons are extremely rare in The Human Realm, just like the ice dragon sealed in the Northern Ice Plains. The people of the tribe guarding the seal have never seen a real dragon. However, for some unknown reason, there have been multiple appearances of giant dragons in the Othrie Empire recently, causing other countries to pay attention to Othrie's actions, as it may hinder their plan to attack The Divine Realm.

But at this stage, none of the six countries are thinking too far ahead, because besides tidal waves and storm surges, there is widespread climate reversal in the coastal areas. Although humans can use magic barriers to resist tsunamis, there is no thorough solution to climate reversal. At the same time, the suddenness caught them off guard. For ordinary people who cannot become true mages, they are indeed facing a disaster, the first major disaster of this year's spring.

The dragon's roar disappeared one night, at the same time the disaster occurred, and it was also the night when a plane from The Divine Realm to The Human Realm crashed. The cause of the accident was that the fuselage was pierced by an unidentified object in the ocean. This is the only information available for now, and the people on the plane were a group that officially visited The Human Realm from The Divine Realm, so they did not bypass The Divine Gate and directly reach The Human Realm like those who use "shortcuts".

When passing through this sea area, they were preparing to detour, but then they were attacked. The speed of the objects flying was so fast that it was unimaginable. It happened so fast that even the gods couldn't react in time. However, because the "gods" inside the plane attracted more attention than Othrie, the unclear accusation was attributed to Qin Yang, who had conflicts with the dragon clan. It was no longer just a speculation passed on by the public, but a matter openly discussed in the media.

Some things happen without anyone knowing, and some things are only halfway known. These things are all mysteries, and it is inevitable to speculate on mysterious things. Malicious speculation is also part of human nature.

A sentence entered the ears of most people.

"Qin Yang offended the dragon clan, and the dragons will punish him."

The demon clan laughed at this sentence. Of course, the demon kings knew who Qin Yang was, and countries related to the demon clan would not go too far. The ones who would most likely add fuel to the fire were the countries related to the divine clan, but there were also organizations and individuals like "Le" who just couldn't stand idly by.

Although Qin Yang was often mentioned by people, whether it was about his romantic history or his history of grudges and grievances, he disappeared since the crisis in Jincheng...

The rising sun's rays are reflected on the undulating ocean surface, forming waves that crash onto the long stretch of beach for kilometers. The fine sand is as white as paper, clean and devoid of any debris, as if no one has ever set foot here. However, the high-rise buildings behind the beach indicate that this is not an isolated area.

At this time, the city is unusually quiet, devoid of any bustling noises.

But it is precisely at this moment that someone walks out of this tranquil city alone, stepping barefoot on the white sand. With each step leaving footprints, she walks towards the sunrise with a worried expression on her face. She has discovered something strange drifting from the sea, and the closer it gets, the more concerned she becomes. In her eyes, the drifting object is a person without any clothes.

Suddenly, she runs to the seaside, swiftly bending her body and placing her hands on the ground like a hunting cheetah. She transforms into a fierce beast, with the speed of a black panther. Because she is dressed in black clothes, she runs on the water's surface as if it were a flat ground. She quickly brings the person to the shore. With no one around, she carefully examines the person drifting in the water, her mind contemplating.

Finally, she decides to take away this person. And this woman in black insignificantly considers how expensive and shiny her dress is; her rapid movements are not hindered by the formal attire.

"Can this person be saved?" the woman asks.

Who am I? Why do I keep asking myself this question? Ah! I've exceeded the time again without extracting the sword from the giant sword. Why, even with the extension of time, am I still restricted? What makes me want to maintain the existence of the Demon Dragon and the holy dragon?

In my memory, flashes of fire pass by. Suddenly, I recall being hit by something, which has left me confused. I only remember that just when I thought it was all over, there was an unexpected final blow. And I didn't see the crack closing, leaving behind only the dragon's eyes.

"Dragon..."

"Huh?" A clear but somewhat lazy voice invades my ear, one that I've never heard before.

I feel my eyelids stuck together, my entire body weak. My limbs feel foreign, as if they don't belong to me. But I sense something moving on me, a comforting feeling without pain. Have I returned to the student council? Is it Wenxin?

I don't know how much time has passed, but I occasionally hear people chatting, singing, quarreling, and even crying. Moreover, the crying becomes more frequent lately, as if something sad has occurred. The low sobbing is so sorrowful that it evokes sadness within me, and I constantly wonder who could be producing such sounds?

After a while, I suddenly feel Flame of Punishment pulsating, and the pulsation brings a recovery of physical strength.

My eyes are captivated by a high-hanging moon, the sky so clear. A cloudless and tranquil sky is the most alluring, the sky one longs to soar through because no matter how high you fly, you can see everything beneath the sky.

"Huhuhu~" The faint snores have a hypnotizing effect. If it weren't for having slept for too long, I would continue to sleep.

"Thud." The owner of the snoring knocks over a water jug, startling a person with tousled hair awake. In the darkness, they seem to see a ghost from a movie.

"You... hello," I weakly greet.
