Chapter 390 Solve The Ancient Puzzle (1/2)

”Then don't blame me for this,” said the God of War with a ferocious stare. The next moment he was in the air, waving his gigantic ax. As the ax grew bigger and bigger, a blazing fire landed on it, and then fell down toward the Jade Dragon like a meteor.

Not to be outdone, the Jade Dragon raised its head and opened its mouth, which emitted a dazzling beam of emerald light. When it collided with the fire of the ax, an eruption of energy spread through the sky over the God Worship Island.

The whole island shook like it was the beginning of the end of the world.

Zachary suddenly returned to his senses and looked around. His eyes burned. To his horror, he found that the miasma had surrounded him and was invading his body. It was too late to hold his breath. He could feel it devouring his will and sending his mind spiraling toward the depths of madness.

But just when he was about to lose himself for good, the heart of the Jade Dragon suddenly cracked, and then turned into dust. In mere seconds, it was nothing more than a memory. At the same time, the miasma around Zachary—in fact, all of the gas there at the center of the God Worship Island—disappeared without a trace.

When his wits had come back to him, Zachary heaved a sigh of relief. ”No wonder the Jade Dragon was so resentful after its death,” he murmured. ”It was killed by the God of War in order to protect the people on this island from being involved in war with other humans. Even though it was an ancient demonic beast, it showed pity and compassion for mankind.”

The reason why the Jade Dragon's heart had remained petrified for thousands of years was that it wanted someone to unravel the mystery of its unjust death and to bring about its vindication.

”I have discovered the truth. Rest in peace,” Zachary said solemnly. With that, he pressed his hand against the nearest of the creature's giant bones, and then turned away.

Since the miasma was now gone, the martial beasts that lived in the center of the God Worship Island had come to their senses and stopped fighting one other. Thus, Zachary had a safe and uneventful journey back to the jade tablet.

”All right, Mimi, I've discovered the truth. Now how do I solve the ancient puzzle?” he asked.

”Just put your hand on the jade tablet,” Mimi instructed.
