Chapter 122 – A Connection

Divine pillars of light embedded themselves on the ground, entrapping the two shadows and forcing them to their knees.

“KRUAAAAAAAHHHH”

The golden dragon roared to the heavens, lamenting his death and for leaving the side of his liege, the Emperor, at this critical time. He had already left his physical body and sent his consciousness into his soul dragon.

“You will pay for this.”

Vilas spoke softly, his golden maw now facing down to gaze at the two shadows.

The celestial pillars of light shone brightly at this moment, revealing the identities of the two shadows.

“HUMANS!”

Vilas yelled out in fury, realizing that it was the humans who were trying to meddle in the affairs of the Desolate Mountain and were targeting the Beast Emperor.

“Die, scum.”

The golden dragon declared, as dozens of spears made of light penetrated into the humans’ bodies. Dark crimson blood soaked their robes, as the two bodies lifelessly fell to the ground.

These humans were only at the first and third rank of Saint stage and yet they dared to kill him. If he was not so desperate and the poison had not corroded all his meridians and essence, he would not be forced to destroy his elemental core for a final revenge.

If the golden dragon had known Elias’ technique, then he might not have had to sacrifice his life.

His only regret was dying in the hands of the weak humans.

*crack*

The divine pillars of light began to break apart, signifying the incoming explosion.

“Forgive me, your Majesty… I will not be able to protect you from this coming danger in future.”

Vilas sighed, as he closed his eyes for eternal rest.

*crackle*

All of a sudden, bolts of mysterious lightning burst from within his broken elemental core and Vilas’ eyes flashed open with an azure glow.

…………………..

“Hurry up and get back, kid!”

A familiar voice reverberated inside Calron’s mind.

“Teacher, you’re back. I have a lot questions to ask!”

Calron exclaimed as he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

“Leave that for later. Quickly change into your beast form and fly as far away as you can. Quickly, before you lose your life.”

Ezkael urged his student.

Sensing the slight trace of fear within his Teacher’s voice, Calron immediately complied as a series of golden scales covered his body and a pair of metallic wings spurt from his back.

*Swoosh*

Compared to his Blood Mist Step, his flying speed after Tarnila’s training was at least twelve times faster.

In the span of a few seconds, Calron was already close to the clouds in the skies when a thundering explosion quaked the earth just below him.

“What the- “

Completely stupefied that he had just narrowly escaped his death, Calron blankly stared at the waves of golden essence orbiting around the cave.
