Chapter 1249 - Tremors of Chaos (2/2)

Seems like this is my next trial? In that case…

Rumble…

The instant Erin stepped into the maze, the ground rocked abruptly again. Strange, deep rumbles echoed from the underground. This time, the earthquake was slightly longer, and Erin couldn’t help but come to a halt. It lasted half a minute this time, before finally subsiding. Erin gazed at her surroundings. She wasn’t sure what was going on with the earthquake.

Could it be part of the trial?

“What in the world is going on?!”

While Erin crossed the maze in doubt, Mini Bubble Gum beat the dust off from her head and bellowed. The rest exchanged looks in disbelief as to why there would be another wave of earthquakes. Everyone noticed that it was stronger than the first. Not only was the magnitude greater, but it also lasted longer. As a result, everyone was caught off guard and covered in filthy dust and loose sand that fell from above, leaving them in a miserable state. But apart from the grumbling Mini Bubble Gum and Anne, who put up a bitter face, the others had more or less realized that something was amiss. Cassidy narrowed her eyes and held her right hand over the hilt on her waist. Rhode also looked around him as though searching for something.

Boom!

All of a sudden, someone pushed the door open. Rhode spotted the dragon young lady entering the room with a pale and stern expression. But even so, Rhode detected a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. Upon meeting Rhode, the dragon young lady heaved a sigh of relief and gave a solemn bow.

“My apologies, Your Majesty the Void Dragon. I have something important that requires your help. Please come with me.”

“Got it.”

Rhode stood to his feet instantly without asking what exactly happened. He reckoned that it was definitely something related to the earthquakes. It wasn’t surprising that Rhode had such thoughts. No matter what, under the dragon soul protection, an earthquake could be considered a coincidence in a hundred years. But two earthquakes in a row just didn’t seem anywhere close to being a coincidence. Besides, it seemed like the earthquakes were also closely related to the Dark Dragon’s soul. If not, these supervisors wouldn’t be so nervous.

“Cassidy, come with me. Angelina, Anne, Bubble, Icy Snow, you girls stay here and continue to observe Erin. Inform me if anything comes up.”

“Got it, Leader.”

“Yes, Big Brother.”

Upon hearing Rhode’s order, Icy Snow and Bubble nodded swiftly. On the other hand, Cassidy seemed totally unwilling. But despite that, she was one of the deity wardens, after all. She knew it wasn’t time for her to throw tantrums, which was why she stood up docilely and followed him out of the room.

Under the dragon young lady’s lead, Rhode and Cassidy arrived at the enormous cave where they had rescued Erin and the Dark Dragon was imprisoned. But now, the Dark Dragon didn’t seem to be in a good condition. She was prostrated on the ground, twitching and gasping for air. Below her body, a huge, dark green magical ritual emanated a mysterious brilliance. The steel chains that punctured her body also trembled constantly as though they were alive. Not only that, but Rhode also witnessed dense, black aura rolling above the steel chains!

The other dragon young lady standing in front of the Dark Dragon gnashed her teeth. She chanted a certain incantation and raised her arms high. Along with this action, pitch-black lightning bolts erupted from between her hands, striking the Dark Dragon. But Rhode discovered quickly that the lightning bolts didn’t hit the Dark Dragon. Because the instant they roared and flashed, a transparent barrier over the Dark Dragon flickered and stopped the attack. Not only that, but Rhode also realized that the barrier had become stronger and was even deflecting the black lightning bolts! Even though the dragon young lady gave her all, it seemed like it wasn’t enough.

Something is obviously wrong!

“What exactly is going on?”

Rhode asked, his heart sinking. At that moment, the dragon young lady who led him to this prison puckered her brows and answered anxiously.

“Chaos has invaded the Dark Dragon, Your Majesty the Void Dragon. We can’t stop it!”
