"Are you alright, Bexia?" As soon as Long Hao left, Isha immediately asked about Bexia's condition. From any perspective, the thing Long Hao used for the ambush was definitely not simple. At that moment, the roar of the rampaging dragon came from behind her.
"Roar!"
The shadow of the black dragon suddenly stopped its movement, and Long Momo, now surrounded by intense white light like thick fog, caused by the condensed magic power. At the same time, a holy and pure aura spread out.
"Binding of the White Dragon!" Long Momo opened her eyes, and magic power around her gathered into a white rune in her hand, then shot towards the shadow of the black dragon in the sky.
"Roar!" The shadow of the black dragon instinctively sensed danger, and a huge magical shield formed by black magic power appeared in front of it. However, Long Momo's rune completely ignored the shield and penetrated through it without any hindrance, accurately hitting the head of the shadow of the black dragon.
"...Silence..." In an instant, the world fell silent. The rune from Long Momo seemed to freeze the shadow of the black dragon in mid-air, with white runes constantly acting on its pitch-black body, like countless maggots crawling, creating a creepy sight.
"I didn't expect this girl to reach this level!" Archbishop Lai'en, who had been observing, narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard. It was not easy to master such advanced secret techniques. Long Momo's current abilities could be considered a genius feat.
The Binding of the White Dragon was the core method to control the Black Dragon Stone. Since Long Momo could use this move, there should not be any problem in controlling the Black Dragon Stone. After all, this was a secret technique passed down for thousands of years!
But just when Lai'en thought that everything was about to return to calm, the shadow of the black dragon in the sky unexpectedly struggled. The energy of the white dragon stone that had previously calmed it suddenly erupted in conjunction with the power of the black dragon stone, making the shadow of the black dragon look like an inflated monster.
"Roar!" The shadow of the black dragon let out a sound that seemed like a lament. It opened its dragon mouth and spewed out black dragon breath downward, causing a terrifying scene of landslides and ground cracks.
"Damn it!" Seeing this, Lai'en's face turned grim. He had to take action at this moment. If he allowed the shadow of the black dragon to cause destruction, the negative consequences would be immense, and Dragon God Church would find it difficult to recover.
"Lai'en, long time no see!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Lai'en, the archbishop, was startled, immediately turned around, and assumed a fighting stance, cautiously observing the person who appeared behind him. The fact that someone with the ability to deceive his perception as a Crown-ranked warrior could get close to him made him wary, even fearful!
"What are you doing here?!" Lai'en looked at the person, his brow furrowed. He was familiar with this person.
"It's been a long time since I moved, so I came out of boredom to take a look!" The person spoke indifferently, completely wrapped in pitch-black armor, making it impossible to see their face.
"Or will you take me for a walk?" The person's eyes locked onto Lai'en, causing immense pressure. Although Lai'en was a Crown-ranked warrior, there were also distinctions among Crown-ranked warriors. His strength was estimated to be at an intermediate level, while the person in front of him had undoubtedly reached the level of a top-ranked warrior, a figure standing at the top of the pyramid in the entire continent.
"You shouldn't be here, right? This is not the place you should come, and are you really going to get involved between the younger generation?" There was some reverence in Lai'en's words. The person in front of him could be considered one of the giants of the Dragon God Church and truly deterred the Empire. Otherwise, how could they resist the Imperial Army with just the rumors of relying solely on magic cannons?
"So let them handle it themselves!" The voice from under the armor remained indifferent, but the meaning behind it made Lai'en start to contemplate. After all, the balance of the Dragon God Church was maintained because the giants like Jig were not involved.
"It's been more than a hundred years since you reached the Crown level, right, Lai'en?" The person in the armor spoke, and Lai'en somewhat understood their intention. While it was unlikely that they would do anything to him personally, it was clear that they did not want him to intervene. Helpless, Lai'en let out a sigh and answered, "It has been 117 years!""You should also know some news about the restrictions of the kings. This world has become incomplete because of the past calamity. In the era of the elves, beings like us kings were not considered true strong ones. Only those who surpassed the limits of a king and became 'monarchs' could be regarded as powerful!" The armored figure spoke as if chatting casually.
"I have heard about this, but with my talent, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky to further surpass the limits of a king!" Lain sighed bitterly and shook his head. Even in that era, he doubted he could break through the restrictions of a king.
"This world has lost some of the conditions to surpass the status of a monarch. After a long period of research with them, we finally have some clues...!"
"Wait?! What did you say...?" Lain looked at the person in front of him in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief.
At this moment, the shadow of the Black Dragon was extremely fierce. It gave up wanton destruction and locked its target on Long Momo. The immense dragon descended from the sky, pressing down on everyone's breath.
"Be careful!" Isha watched as the shadow of the Black Dragon approached. Even though she knew she was no match for it, she still swung her giant sword towards it.
However, the power of the shadow of the Black Dragon was enormous. Although Isha was not weak, she seemed too powerless in the face of the shadow. With just one clash, she was blasted away by the power of the shadow, spewing out a mouthful of blood when she landed.
Although Isha managed to block it for a moment, the onslaught of the shadow of the Black Dragon did not diminish. It charged straight towards Long Momo. At this moment, she had no strength to resist because she had used up all her power with her secret technique. She could only watch helplessly as the huge shadow of the Black Dragon charged towards her.
"Crimson Blaze Strike!" Bexia, who was on the side, saw the situation and a fiery aura burst forth from her battle blade. It swung like a meteor of flames and fiercely confronted the shadow of the Black Dragon.
But everyone knew that this was futile. How could Bexia's attack shake the immense power of the shadow? She would only follow in Isha's footsteps if she did this.
"Crimson Blaze Strike!" However, at this moment, a delicate voice rang out. As Bexia unleashed her Crimson Blaze Strike, another figure jumped out from behind her. The flame on the battle blade in their hand appeared just like Bexia's, but it was relatively stronger. If Bexia's attack was like a boulder, then Christine's was like a small mountain.
"Boom!" The three clashed together, a loud explosion resounding, shaking the heavens...
