Chapter 1284 - Ion’s Confusion (2/2)

“Big Brother!”

Looking at this scene, Erin hesitated for a moment, but eventually continued her attack. Everything took less than a minute from Erin’s attack being stopped to the battle between Ion, the fire elemental creature, and the wind elemental creature. But it was this duration that caused Ion to fall in defeat. Erin pondered no more. Although she hoped to take on her big brother alone, there was no point in being indecisive since the situation had already turned out this way. She leaped and pounced on the Chaos Dragon before her.

At the same time, she was also prepared to be struck by the wind elemental creature. But what astonished her was that the moment she rushed into the body of that wind elemental creature, she wasn’t hurt at all. Although the powerful winds and dazzling lightning bolts were right beside her, she didn’t feel anything in the slightest. If it weren’t for her witnessing Ion being trapped in the tornado, perhaps she would have suspected if she were hallucinating!

“Everyone, let’s do it! Attack!”

As soon as Erin pounced on Ion, Rhode raised his eyebrows and gave his order straight away. Along with his order, all kinds of light around him, be it magical, spiritual, or holy, were unleashed at once, emanating over the pitch-black land like spots of starlight, heading for Erin and Ion from all directions like a wild storm.

These skills were the extraordinary, accumulated power from four to five squads of elite players. In an instant, flares and sacred brilliance almost shrouded the two massive dragons altogether. The dazzling lights made even the moonlight seem dull in comparison. In the earlier clash between Erin and Ion, even though Rhode gave a few simple commands, all the players understood what he meant. As a matter of fact, Rhode was using Erin as the ‘main tanker’ in this scenario. And now that Erin was attracting the ‘vengeance’ from Ion, Rhode didn’t need to worry too much on his end and ordered his players to gather all attacks on Ion right away.

Logically speaking, Erin wouldn’t be able to withstand this extent of attack. However, the truth was otherwise. Even Erin was surprised to find out that the attacks that landed on her actually passed through her and struck the helpless Ion instead!

If they were in the Dragon Soul Continent of the past, perhaps they wouldn’t be able to achieve this. But now, the Dragon Soul Continent had merged entirely with the rules of the gaming world. Since resurrection spells were already accepted, it wasn’t surprising that allies weren’t hurt by friendly fire. However, Rhode was entitled to this setting because he was the controller of the system interface. He was the only one who could invite others into his party and be free from friendly fire. Since Erin had joined his party, it went without saying that the attacks wouldn’t inflict any damage on her. When did one ever witness a party wiping out their very own main tanker when luring monsters?

“No… No…!”

Under the combined siege of Erin, Rhode, and the elite players, Ion couldn’t hold on much longer. He had a hard time escaping the void storm earlier and also took quite a bit of damage. Erin, on the other hand, was out of action all this time. She had plenty of power to unleash and in addition to Rhode’s unruliness in leading hundreds of peak players against Ion, Ion didn’t stand a chance. A tiger was no match for a pack of wolves, not to mention a paper tiger like Ion in this situation. More importantly, in this world of Order, he who became the Chaos Dragon was completely inhibited by the rules of Chaos, so he didn’t have much strength to retaliate with.

How is this possible? How is this possible?!

Facing the overwhelming attacks from all directions, the wrath burning deep inside Ion suddenly extinguished, only to be replaced by an ice-cold emotion like the deep, dark, bottomless abyss. He was once so ambitious, believing that he could lead the Chaos army in breaking through the Dragon Soul Continent to let the world see his very own power.

That was his only wish.

He needed power, power of his own. In fact, Ion was terrified after learning that the dragon soul heir would eventually be chosen between Erin and himself. He knew he was no match for his younger sister in any way. Although he tried really, really hard, it still wasn’t enough. However, he had to prove himself… Prove himself… Why? For what?

Why must I prove myself? Why must I prove that I’m stronger than my sister, the other dragon soul heirs, and everyone? It is for the sake of proving himself that he yearns to dominate the Dragon Soul Continent. But in the end, he failed… So why exactly did I fail?

At that moment, Ion’s head was in complete disorder.

For who exactly am I trying to prove myself to? Come to think of it, who am I? That’s right, I’m Ion, the dragon soul heir. No, am I not the Chaos Dragon now? No, he isn’t the Chaos Dragon; he doesn’t even have his own power. All his power comes from Chaos. He submitted himself to Chaos in exchange for power, but why is he still defeated?

Ion’s vision turned all blurry. The pain in his body made him fail to pull himself together. On the contrary, he felt like his consciousness was fading away, and he was becoming more dazed. His only thought was that he was about to fail. And why he failed…

At that moment, Ion heard a voice in his head. That voice sounded so vague, and yet so clear.

“… Because you don’t belong to true Chaos…”

The instant Ion heard that voice, his consciousness came to an end.

Erin swiped her razor-sharp claw forward, ripping apart Ion’s chest mercilessly. This was their biggest weakness, the backbone of the dragon race. Now, it became Ion’s point of death. Pitch-black blood gushed out of the deep, ghastly wound. Ion finally couldn’t hold on any longer as he collapsed to the ground.

“… It’s over, Big Brother…”

Gazing at the lifeless Ion, Erin pondered for some moments, widened her mouth, and took in a deep breath.

“Oh no! Cleric, shrink your defenses!”

But at the same time, Rhode suddenly gave an entirely different order. Upon hearing his command, Mini Bubble Gum sulked instantly. She extended her arm, made a gripping action on Erin, and pulled her arm back abruptly!

Along with this action, a gigantic right hand of light shone in midair, gripped Erin by her tail, and dragged her far away from Ion’s body.

At the same time, a turbid brilliance erupted from Ion’s body, coalescing into an enormous creature that snapped its jaws at Erin!
