Chapter 566: Chapter 408: Land of the Sealed Dragon_2

Upon careful observation, there were several small semi-transparent spherical magic barriers surrounding the area, enveloping it completely.

Looking in through the surface of the splendid magic barrier, Leo Ray could vaguely make out something.

Inside, there was a motionless giant shadow lurking silently.

At this moment, just by looking at the pitch-black figure from a distance, Leo Ray felt an inexplicable pressure weighing on his heart.

At the same time, the subordinates surrounding Leo Ray tightly clenched their weapons in their hands, not daring to slack off for a moment.

“Sir, that shadow is the Red Dragon sealed here,” Joshua Bingaman’s crisp voice came through once again as Leo Ray caught sight of it.

At this point, even her usually calm demeanor was tinged with a distinct quiver in her voice.

After all, creatures like dragons, especially Red Dragons, were notorious for their fierce temperament in addition to their formidable strength.

And, not to mention, there are three of its companions outside that might come to investigate at any moment.

“Understood. Next, we just need to suppress it thoroughly, completely severing its connection with the outside world so that the three Red Dragons cannot sense any scent. Then, our mission will be accomplished,” Leo Ray said as he nodded at his subordinates and continued, “Let’s move forward a little more.”

“Yes, sir!”

Hearing this, the subordinates’ expressions became solemn as they tightly surrounded Leo Ray.

“Sir, please don’t enter the range of the magic barrier at the very bottom. There are six Tier 5 Level defense barriers specifically designed for the Dragon Clan, which are the first heavy shackles pressing down on the Giant Dragon with the abilities to weaken its power and restrict its movement,”

Tran said as he followed along with two Rivers Famliy Elders, “Although this special defensive magic barrier doesn’t restrict our Human Clan, once inside, it would be like facing the Red Dragon with no cover. Please be careful, sir!”

“Understood.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

And so, accompanied by their light footsteps, the group echoed in the vast underground space.

As Leo Ray and the others descended along the stair structure of the stands, just halfway toward the shadowy area, a sudden situation occurred.

Without any warning, the giant shadow at the deepest end, which had been lying still, suddenly stood upright.

Following that, a low growl filled with ferocity echoed through the vast space, “Humans, stop your movement, or you will face the judgment of the fierce flames.”

Hearing this sudden threat, everyone halted their steps for a moment.

Particularly Tran and the two Rivers Famliy Elders, who were familiar with this place, had an expression of surprise, staring straight at the giant shadow.

Undoubtedly, based on the direction from where the sound came, it was apparent that the one speaking was the Red Dragon that had been sealed here.

For a race like dragons, which was on par with humans in terms of wisdom, communicating and interacting freely, just like humans, was obviously an easy task.

Both history and literary texts have numerous related records of this fact.

But what was even more surprising to them was that, since the inception of Hero King Caesar’s era, this dragon had been trapped here for more than six hundred years, having been in a coma and never spoken a word.

Even the accident five years ago only saw the dragon awaken for a few seconds.

In other words, after such a long time, this was the first face-to-face interaction between humans and this Red Dragon in over six hundred years.

While Tran and the others were secretly shocked, on the other side, Leo Ray, at his signal, continued to step forward towards the shadow, seemingly not paying any attention to the threat.

“Please be careful, sir! Although this Red Dragon has been sealed for over six hundred years, its strength is still at Tier 5 Level, and if it forcefully breaks through the magic barrier, the consequences would be unimaginable!” Tran said, his face full of alarm.Meanwhile, the other two elders of the Iceflow Clan also quickly nodded in agreement.

Even though this young man was surrounded by five Tier 4 powerhouses, the difference between Tier 4 and Tier 5, although only one level apart,

the gap in strength between the two was as vast as a bottomless chasm, completely incomparable.

Out of 10 Tier 4 peak-powerhouses, only 1 could successfully advance to Tier 5 in their lifetime, which was already considered a very high percentage.

Even just a Tier 4 powerhouse was one in ten thousand, capable of facing a thousand Tier 1 soldiers single-handedly and remaining undefeated.

How much more powerful would a Tier 5 powerhouse, who could be called the nemesis of ten thousand enemies, be?

Thinking of this, Tran and the two Iceflow Clan elders couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

Without a doubt, in a head-on confrontation, five Tier 4 powerhouses would have no chance of victory against a single Tier 5 powerhouse.

The key point was that a Tier 5-level powerhouse represented a formidable force that could stabilize a nation.

It was hard to imagine such a powerful being genuinely serving under this young man, right?

“Who said only the Red Dragon has Tier 5 strength?”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray simply smiled and nodded at Taylor beside him.

In an instant, an immense wave of energy erupted from Taylor’s burly body,

Like a towering sea tornado, the energy rippled back and forth within the vast Firsdale Territory, causing even the surrounding space to twist slightly.

“A boundless energy that can disrupt space… a Tier 5 powerhouse?!”

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Tran and the two Iceflow Clan elders displayed shocked expressions, as their hearts also stirred up enormous waves.

Immediately, their faces couldn’t help but reveal a look of sheer joy.

They never expected that under this young man’s command, there would genuinely be a Tier 5 powerhouse!

On the other side, the gigantic shadow also fell silent for a while before bursting into a series of angry laughter.

Laughing loudly, it said, “So that’s what it is, a Tier 5 powerhouse from the Human Clan. The last time I saw one, he had curly hair.”

At this point, the shadow’s voice became darker as it continued in a sinister tone, “Even if you have a Tier 5 powerhouse on your side, what difference does it make? I just heard that my three companions are speeding towards this place, right?

When the time comes, our combined forces will turn you, along with this city, to ashes!”

“So that’s how it is.”

Hearing these words, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows. As he quickened his pace, he nonchalantly said, “I’m sorry, but such threats are useless against me. All I have to do is take you down before that.”

Finishing his words, Leo Ray’s voice also turned cold as he continued, “When that time comes, your three companions will simply return empty-handed.”

On the other side, the giant shadow fell silent again for a moment before responding in a deep voice, “Young man, don’t talk so big. Throughout the ages, even among your insignificant Human Clan, there have been quite a few Tier 5 powerhouses.

But only a handful of them could genuinely compete against us Dragon Clan. The reasons for this are naturally obvious. Because of this, don’t think that having a Tier 5 powerhouse’s loyalty allows you to boast in front of me!”

Upon hearing this, Tran and the two Iceflow Clan elders couldn’t help but display worried expressions on their faces.

As the opponent had stated, when facing a one-on-one duel with the same level of power, the Dragon Clan indeed possessed an incomparable advantage over the Human Clan.

Whether it was the hard dragon scales that were comparable to top-grade Tier 5 armor, or their high resistance to physical and magical attacks,

their evidently greater energy reserves, or even their fearsome dragon flames, which were comparable to top-grade Tier 5 magic spells –

each of these attributes was a nightmare for a similarly skilled adversary.

Therefore, although this Red Dragon’s power had been significantly weakened, defeating it was still an incredibly difficult task.

Moreover, the arrival of its three companions was a possibility at any moment… when that time came, the situation would undoubtedly become dire.

Thinking of this, a panicked expression emerged on the faces of Tran and the others.

Meanwhile, Leo Ray couldn’t help but sneer before nodding at Taylor once again.
