Chapter 691: Destroyed Rock Towers 3
It was like another wall had been placed on top of the barrier.
People all around Puzzle City could see the half-transparent red wall.
“Those children-”
Queen Litana gasped internally after recognizing On and Hong.
“Grrrrrr-!”
However, she heard Ten, her friend, no, this black panther was pretty much her family, growl. It was a sudden action from Ten, who had quietly been by her side as if to guard her.
‘When Ten growls like this......’
Ten had senses that were much more sensitive than human senses.
Ten only growled like this for one reason.
‘It must be dangerous!’
Ten had not growled like this for any of the Lion Dragon’s actions until now.
She quickly turned toward the Lion Dragon and noticed something odd.
“Whirlwinds?”
There were some odd fluctuations in the Lion Dragon’s eyes that were now black. They looked like whirlwinds that seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
“...Young master Cale.”
She then made eye contact with Cale Henituse who was looking at her. Cale shook his head side to side before pointing down. It wasn’t enough for Litana to figure out a lot of things but her mind jolted awake after hearing a Dragon shout.
“Everybody duck!”
Litana shouted right after the Grey Dragon.
“Everybody duck!”
She then heard a weird noise.
Wiiiiiiiiiiing—
She felt that a sharp line cutting through the air would make a noise like this.
She soon discovered the identity of this noise.
“...Oh no!”
The monster’s black eyes... She saw something shooting out of there.
The black light that shot out in a straight line was so fast that it was right in front of the barrier before she could even comprehend that it was released.
Baaaaaaaaaang—!
And, as it had been over and over, the rock shield was there to stop the black line.
However, the people below were not covered by darkness like before. The shield was floating in the air blocking the black line before it could reach the barrier.
‘This is different from before!’
Litana, who had not been able to duck like her black panther Ten, saw something different from before and subconsciously clenched her hands.
“What is that?!”
Crown prince Valentino shouted without thinking while trying to stop his hands from shaking.
The black line that shot straight out....
That line was destroying the rocks too easily.
The red power used before that was similar to a Dragon’s Breath was the type that was released one attack at a time. However, this black light was shooting out continuously without stopping.
“...It looks like dead mana.”
“Ah.”
Valentino realized why his hand was shaking and why he was feeling scared about this black line after hearing Clopeh Sekka’s calm voice.
“It is okay. There is no need to fear.”
Clopeh Sekka was standing tall while observing everything that was happening.
A reverent voice flowed out of his mouth.
“I have faith.”
He was showing the elegant holiness of a Guardian Knight in full display.
“In my hero, the future legend.
Kekeke.”
Clopeh Sekka quietly cackled after that but it was not loud enough to be heard.
“The shield is attacking!”
Behind the Lion Dragon... Another group of rocks had gathered together to attack the monster’s back.
However, the Lion Dragon quickly turned around and used its white shield to stop the rocks.
Boom-!
“Not bad.”
The corners of Cale’s lips twisted up. He addressed On and Hong, as if he had been waiting for this moment.
“Now.”
On and Hong could see the beads of sweat on Cale’s forehead. They looked away from Cale and looked at each other for a moment before nodding their heads.
The red fog wall started moving.
With the Lion Dragon having turned around... On and Hong could see the Lion Dragon’s ripped wings and its damaged back.
On and Hong recalled something Ron had told them.
‘You must not miss an opening when you see it. That is one of the basics of gathering important information.’
The two Cats were not looking for information right now but they could tell that this was the most important moment they had ever faced.
“Distract it!”
“I got it! Just attack its legs!”
Eruhaben, Rasheel, and Mila... The three Dragons seemed to have noticed what On and Hong were trying to do as they were distracting the Lion Dragon so that it would not turn back around.
Bang, baaaaang! Bang!
Cale’s rock shield was still blocking the black light as all of this happened. The crumbling shield gave the Dragons small openings to slam into the monster’s body or use physical attacks to keep its attention on them.
It was fierce.
Even though it was for less than a minute...
Parts of Puzzle City other then the area around the barrier were destroyed and crumbling. The rock shield sometimes didn’t manage to block all of the black light and it landed on some buildings.
Pssssssssss-
The buildings just turned to black dust and scattered into the air without any explosion.
People watching this finally realized that the rocks that were breaking right now were turning into black dust and disappearing unlike the dust covering their heads and shoulders from before.
“...There’s less than 10 minutes left!”
‘The question is whether Ron can recognize the wind signals from the Wind Elementals without the top’s whip.’
However, Cale wasn’t that worried about it.
That extremely sensitive and vicious Ron was someone who could easily pick up on such changes.
‘Cale Henituse!’
The last piece of information finally arrived.
‘There are a total of seven places! They are a few meters away and have surrounded the houses!’
Ron really did notice it.
He noticed it in just a few minutes.
Cale opened his mouth to speak.
“On and Hong. You can get rid of your fog now.”
The Lion Dragon’s stage three had about three minutes left.
Cale raised his hand toward the sky.
Chhhhhhh-
A strand of water flowed out of Cale’s palm and shot up toward the orb of light that Alberu released into the sky.
The strand of water rose up into the sky like an arrow trying to pierce through the sky.
The people looking at the sky started shouting.
“It’s the young master-nim’s signal! Head to the Bear stronghold!”
“Deputy territory lord!”
Violan raised her hand after hearing the person who went to look outside urgently rushing in.
“Stop your action.”
The mages started stopping the mana disturbance tool.
“We will stop it for about one minute.”
Violan reminded them about the plan as she recalled someone who had been with her until just moments ago.
‘I will head out now.’
Rosalyn.
She said that there was somewhere she needed to hurry over to as soon as they heard what Cale was planning. Duchess Violan could immediately tell where she was headed.
‘It is probably to where the mana has remained gathered together.’
It was the place that they had plastered with magic circles to gather mana even before they planned to use the mana disturbance tool.
And the young Dragon that should be maintaining that space...
“It has stopped, madam!”
Ooooooong.
The mana disturbance tool stopped temporarily as a mage shouted.
Violan then started to think about someone.
“...Cale.”
The only thing left was Cale’s part in the plan.
Cale looked away from the strand of water and turned around.
“It’s our dongsaeng’s turn, nya!”
“As I expected.”
On and Hong excitedly looked back as well.
“Huh? The mana has stabilized!”
“Really?”
The mana that had been vibrating chaotically in the air because of the mana disturbance tool had calmed down.
As the mages, followed by the others, started to realize that the mana had stabilized...
“...That little punk sure is vicious.”
Dragon Rasheel had the chills as he subconsciously looked somewhere.
Eruhaben could not hide his smile as he looked in the same direction. Cale, On, and Hong were all looking there as well.
The window that Cale jumped out of not too long ago...
Mana was swirling widely through the open window.
“...They are my disciples.”
As Eruhaben watched the black mana and red mana mix together to grow in size...
“Raon-nim.”
“Thanks, Rosalyn! It’ll be an even bigger launch thanks to you!”
The large power of mana swirling around Rosalyn and Raon started to gobble up the mana in the atmosphere.
Crack. CRUMBLE-! The highest-grade magic stones around Rosalyn’s neck and in her hands broke. Ooooooooong. The room that was full of magic circles started to shake.
“Young master-nim.”
Someone walked underneath the barrier where On, Hong, and Cale were standing.
This person, who had been lost for a bit due to the unstable mana because she uses a power similar to it, regained her senses and walked over as the mana had stabilized.
“Mary.”
“I will hold it down.”
Thousands of black threads shot out of her robed body, crawled through the ground, climbed up the wall and floated past toward the Lion Dragon.
The monster that had been slowed down by the poisonous fog... Black threads started to bind its limbs.
The large black and red mana whirlwind was aiming for that monster as well.
There were less than a couple thousand rocks left floating in the night sky.
Cale looked at the remaining rocks in the sky before shooting another strand of water into the air.
“Take it down.”
It was time to take down the monster.
