Chapter 979 The Magic Box
Chapter 979 The Magic Box
Hilkd, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly rose up, and purer frost power instantly covered the massive dragon body, while the dragon power within him quietly gathered in the dragon's head.
"Frost - Imprisoning the Ice Soul!"
The power of the dragon merged with the power of frost, transforming into streams of dragon breath carrying countless ice crystals, which bloomed indiscriminately in all directions.
Twilight String was well aware of her and Crescent Blade's current predicament. Even if World-Suppressing Gertrude didn't intervene, they might not be able to defeat Wind Child Storm. Therefore, they had no choice but to reluctantly abandon Hilced.
"King - Dragon's Roar and Lingering Clouds!"
Zhen Shi Gertrude raised his hand to gather the power of the dragon system. With the infusion of energy, the bodies of the Golden Ancestor Dragon and the Mysterious Ancestor Dragon became incredibly slender.
The two long, slender dragon bodies suddenly began to rotate around each other and gradually ascended into the sky. As the dragon bodies swept across, they summoned a real "dragon" tornado.
As the tornado and frost subsided, Hilked was successfully lulled to sleep by Gertrude the World-Suppressing.
Meanwhile, Twilight String and Crescent Blade took advantage of the opening to escape.
"Damn it! They got away. Luckily, Hilkder wasn't taken away, so my efforts weren't in vain."
Zhen Shi Gertrude sighed and walked toward Hilker, who was fast asleep.
With his palm resting on Hilkerd's massive dragon body, Zhen Shi Gertrude controlled his dragon-type energy, slowly probing into his body.
After careful observation, it was discovered that Hilkerd's soul contained many shackles that controlled the soul. With his long experience, this small problem was easily solved by Zhen Shi Gertrude.
The main control over Hilked is the Twilight String, and it requires a constant replenishment of mental energy to maintain control.
Now that the Moon's String has escaped, the controlling force has weakened, allowing Gertrude to easily help Ilked regain his senses.
After resolving Hilked's problem, Zhen Shi Gertrude turned to look at Wind Child Lan and the others.
"Kirina, wake up..."
Wind Child Lan called out anxiously, but there was no way to wake Kirina.
"He must have been severely injured by that monster's shockwave and is now in a daze. Let me help!"
"It'll be a while before Hilked wakes up from his coma, so it's fine to lend a helping hand to other elves occasionally," said Zhen Shi Gertrude.
After some time... the Kirina sisters recovered from their injuries...
“I have something important to entrust to you… Chiminai.”
The first thing Kirina cared about when she woke up was the mission she was carrying.
"Lord Lan, here you go!"
After searching his body for a while, Chimina handed a box that exuded an ancient aura to Wind Child Lan.
This thing is none other than the Pandora's Box, the key to whether the Ryda Universe can end its eternal cycle.
If the oracle of the Tarot cards is a ticket to the elf that can truly harm the two Ledas, then the power of the magic box is the weapon to end the battle between the two Ledas, but with one more in front of it.
"This is?"
"Lady Isis instructed me to make sure this box is delivered to you."
"Go find Qi Ling Yuan Shen or Nu En, they will definitely have a way."
Kirina quickly relayed the message that Sky's Hope, Isis, had asked her to pass on to Wind Child, Lan.
"Then what about Mother...?"
Wind Child Lan was somewhat worried, as Crescent Blade's earlier words inevitably made him think of the worst-case scenario.
"Lady Isis is currently confronting the enemy, I think... she will be alright."
At that moment, Kirina suddenly realized that something was wrong with the magic box.
"How could this happen, Chimina?"
"I...I don't know either. I've been protecting it very well."
Chiminai hurriedly explained.
"The back of the box seems a little loose, but it doesn't look like signs of vandalism."
"I…"
Kirina couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"It's alright, it shouldn't be a problem. I'll keep a close eye on it. Thank you."
"Yes, we'll rest for a bit and then head back. Take care, Lord Lan!"
May the wind protect you.
"Senior, thank you for your help. May I ask who you are?"
Before leaving, Wind Child Lan bowed slightly to Town World Gertrude.
"My name is Gertrude. I come from another universe, and my goal is to save the dragons of this universe. No need to thank me. I am just doing what I have to achieve."
Zhen Shi Gertrude waved his hand.
"Thank you is necessary. If we meet again in the future, I will do my best to help you."
Wind Child Lan smiled and waved, then stepped into the next adventure.
The Kirin sisters left a moment later, and after waiting for several days, Gertrude was greeted by Hilced's awakening.
"Thank you for your help, Dragon King of another universe."
Hilked immediately bowed his head and submitted; in the dragon race's dictionary, strength is everything.
Moreover, despite his reputation as a dragon, Hilkd hadn't actually done much bad work, since he had always been hiding atop the Frost Tree and had never left.
As for the adventurers who died while climbing the Frost Tree, that had even less to do with him.
There are many loopholes in that rumor. For example, if no one has ever seen Hilked, how could the story of Hilked killing adventurers have come about? It is obviously a frame-up.
The cause of their deaths was simply the harsh environment surrounding the jatropha tree.
"Arise! My purpose is not to enslave you, but to save you."
"Tell me, what happened to the dragons in this universe?"
Hilker shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing.
"From the time I became conscious, I was given the title of evil dragon. There was a brutal power within me. Later, a dragon that was related to me by blood took on that calamity for me."
"After that, in order to prevent the power from getting out of control again, I stayed on the top of this frost tree, but I didn't expect that I would still be targeted by those people."
"Alright then, be careful not to get caught by them again."
Hilked nodded.
"If nothing unexpected happens, my friend should have already successfully saved the other ancient dragon; it seems there's only one left."
And so, Zhen Shi Gertrude once again embarked on a journey to find her dragon companions.
…………
In the snowfield surrounding the Frost Tree, Twilight String and Crescent Blade opened and closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, Moon Crown, the captain of the Moon Squad, appeared before them.
During their escape, they lost consciousness due to excessive exhaustion. Fortunately, Luna arrived in time to take them away, thus preventing them from being captured by Zhen Shi Gertrude, who had left the top of the Frozen Tree.
"Captain... I'm sorry... our mission has failed!"
"Twilight String" and "Crescent Blade" said in unison.
They failed to complete either the task of seizing the power of the ancient dragon or capturing Kirina.
"Haha, don't worry about it, we did fail... The Bree Galaxy is indeed quite different."
"You're all injured, so put the mission aside and get some rest."
Twilight String wanted to struggle a bit, but after looking at her own and Crescent Blade's condition, she finally shut up. There was nothing wrong with having a holiday.
