Chapter 266 - Chapter 256: Skeleton Dragon, White Jade Blade (2/2)

And the Tranquil field of white flowers.

You must not think of anything terrible, Byrne admonished himself.

They moved forward once more, preserving the Tranquility within their hearts, refusing to entertain any wild thoughts.

Chris managed this easily, while Aldrich, Byrne, and Marzo also barely managed it, but Zayne’s active and complex thoughts couldn’t avoid straying.

He furrowed his brow, forcing himself not to think about certain things as much as possible, but the more he forced his mind to be empty, the more he thought of random matters.

[Zayne!]

Suddenly, he heard a sharp scream rise from the depths of his heart, his eyes widening with shock, and he turned around with a drastic change in expression!

Everybody else turned around because of Zayne’s reaction.

Except for Marzo, everyone was stunned.

The “Thunderous Monarch” undead stood not far away, his body emanating black thunder, his face like a withered zombie, staring at them with eyes full of terrible resentment and hatred!

He didn’t speak a word, but the sound of thunder kept echoing in the depths of Zayne’s heart!

[Why?]

[Why do you abandon me and go?]

[I have always been fighting for you all, but what about you? What about you, Zayne? You vowed to avenge me, but you did nothing!]

[It’s not like that!]

Zayne couldn’t help wanting to yell back, but he refrained from speaking and instead responded in the depths of his heart:

[I couldn’t reach the Monarch Level before, and the war with Rhea kept me so busy, I simply had no spare strength for revenge!]

[I will take my revenge! I have already sworn it!]

The lightning around the Thunderous Monarch flashed brightly, but in the tranquil world, it didn’t make any real thunder sound, yet the tone in the depths of the heart gradually calmed down.

[I see…]

Just when everyone thought that the powerful undead was about to attack, the Thunderous Monarch kept staring into Zayne’s eyes, as if he saw the determination and faith within them.

In the end, the thundering undead nodded slowly, his inner voice filled with encouragement and satisfaction for the next generation.

[Continue on your path.]

The next moment, thunder roared in the tranquil world, and the Thunderous Monarch’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Zayne took a deep breath, his eyes moist, and he nodded with utmost solemnity.

I will continue on.

After exchanging glances, they continued on for a long while, and finally, there was a change ahead of them.

An odd door appeared in the distance, constantly changing color between black and white, crazily flickering.

Even though there was no evidence, joy sprouted deep in their hearts.

They felt that it was very likely the door through which they could escape from the world of the undead!

At that moment, countless white flowers scattered before them, flying into the sky, and a white skeletal dragon suddenly burst out from the still sea of flowers!

Its stature was nearly a hundred meters tall, with four forelimbs and three bone wings, and in one snow-white hand bone was a sinisterly designed long jade sword, with a hilt like the end of a shin bone.

The jade blade was tens of meters long, emitting a terrifying presence that was somewhat unbearable for everyone.

Byrne and the others were all stunned.

What was the deal with that sword?

The skeletal dragon wasn’t the focus; everyone’s attention was on the sword!

A Forbidden rare artifact? Or something else? Why did they feel such terrible, completely aversive aura from that jade sword!

The next moment, the skeletal dragon raised the jade sword high, and an atmosphere of death enveloped the area within a few miles, changing everyone’s expressions.

They could feel the power in the sword winds; being hit by it would mean instant death.

Aldrich didn’t summon the giant dragon, but used the power of the ring to make himself fly, dodging the enemy’s attacks with extreme agility.

Zayne also transformed into liquid to avoid the attack and then released a deluge of seawater, engulfing himself and the skeletal dragon, only to realize that being had no mystical or spiritual power to draw from!

Then, the rest attacked in quick succession, only to realize that, no matter what, they could not kill the skeletal dragon.

No matter how many times its body was attacked, it would burn again and again, completely restoring itself!

“Let’s get out of here!” Aldrich suddenly yelled and instantly disappeared.

Seeing this, the others understood that they couldn’t stay, and one by one they called out and vanished.

Back in the thick white Fog, they fell silent, pondering over their next move, none speaking for a time.

Byrne thought to himself that the skeletal dragon was probably the last enemy blocking their escape from this place, but it was still unclear why it was an existence that couldn’t be killed.

The thick white Fog could probably last a few more days.

All of a sudden, he felt that perhaps they should take the opportunity to return to the Fischer family, combine the strength of more people, and possibly turn the situation around!
