chapter 368 part 2
Evileye immediately halted her charge. With no time to retreat, she channeled her magic power to gain altitude, her nimble figure easily circling around Tang Zheng's massive body and rocketing upward.
Whoosh!
"You cannot escape."
With a beat of his wings, Tang Zheng ascended as well. His ferocious, massive dragon's head surpassed Evileye first, a wisp of flame snorting from his nostrils.
"Just obediently grovel on the ground for me!"
This time, he swung out with both dragon claws, the sharp tips piercing the air and creating a deafening hum.
"This distance is enough—Teleportation!"
Evileye suddenly shouted, and her figure vanished into thin air.
A thousand meters up in the sky.
Only Tang Zheng remained. He stopped flapping his wings, halting his ascent.
"Heh, such a simple little trick isn't hard to guess."
Tang Zheng lowered his head, his golden dragon eyes piercing through layers of air, easily spotting Evileye, who had already reappeared down in the Jungle. He made a grasping motion in the air with his dragon claw.
A small scroll appeared in his massive palm.
In his Golden Dragon Lord form, Tang Zheng couldn't use Tier Magic, but using a magic scroll was not an issue.
He squeezed his palm slightly, and the scroll crumbled.
8th Tier Magic: Judgment Lock!
An invisible barrier rapidly spread out, blanketing the area below.
And at this moment.
Evileye, having teleported back to the Jungle, had already reached the side of Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra and the others.
Just now, in the brief moment she fought the crimson Dragon Lord.
Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, who was less injured, had already pulled Gagaran, Tina, and Tia to her side.
"Captain, we're retreating!"
The moment Evileye appeared, she quickly grabbed Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, who was already prepared.
"Let's go!" Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra said, bloodstains at the corner of her mouth. Her long, golden, spiraled hair was now disheveled, giving her a wretched appearance.
The succession of unexpected events meant that this reconnaissance task had already failed.
Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra was filled with regret, but she also understood the current situation. Retreating was the most important thing.
"Teleportation."
Evileye chanted, casting the magic.
However!
The expected shift in vision did not occur. The bodies of Evileye and the others flickered for a moment, but they remained in the same spot.
"What's going on!"
An expression of disbelief appeared on the face behind Evileye's mask, a rare hint of panic in her eyes.
Although Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra didn't know what had happened, she also realized there was a problem, and her fair face turned ugly. "Evileye, it's that Dragon Lord's doing!"
—Rustle!
A furious wind blew down from the sky.
Tang Zheng controlled his huge draconic body, descending unhurriedly from mid-air. "Trying to run away?"
"I've said it before, a group of ants need only grovel on the ground!"
"Damn it!" Seeing that the Teleportation magic was completely ineffective, a chill spread through Evileye's entire body. This was a situation that exceeded her imagination.
"Captain, you take them and go."
"I'll hold it back!" Evileye, like a cornered cheetah, let go of Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra's hand and turned to charge at Tang Zheng.
"Maximize Magic: Crystal Knight's Spear!"
Grief and indignation filled Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra's eyes. Who could have imagined that a reconnaissance task would plunge their squad into such a dire situation.
As regret filled her heart, crystalline tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes!
As the Captain, she would never abandon her companions under any circumstances. But precisely because of this, Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra understood even more clearly that if they stayed here, they would only be a burden to Evileye.
*Evileye, you must have a way to get out of here!*
Evileye's back was reflected in the clear blue pupils of Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra. She grabbed Tina and Tia with each hand, hoisted Gagaran onto her back, and turned to flee.
"Hmph!"
Tang Zheng let out a cold snort.
"Shadow Assault!"
A black shadow flashed.
The massive crimson body, like a specter, easily dodged the Crystal Knight's Spear and appeared right in front of Evileye.
He raised his dragon claw high and swung it down heavily!
Evileye's vision was instantly filled by the enormous dragon claw. She hurriedly cast her magic, "Damage Transfer!"
Boom!
A terrifying power was unleashed. A half-meter-deep crater appeared out of thin air in the ground, and Evileye was imprinted onto the earth like a flattened piece of paper.
The dragon claw lifted.
To everyone's surprise, Evileye staggered to her feet, seemingly unharmed except for her clothing being stained with dirt.
"Damage Transfer, is it? A decent skill."
Tang Zheng saw the skill notification appear on his stat panel, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
The reason he was still fighting was to force his opponent to use the skills and abilities he wanted.
The dragon claw shot out again, grabbing for Evileye.
"Maximize Magic Penetration—!"
Evileye swayed on her feet, the eyes behind her mask growing redder. Feeling the last dregs of her magic power, she cast her spell with all her might.
*I have to—create more time for my companions to escape!*
"Ninjutsu: Immovable Vajra Shield!"
"Ninjutsu: Immovable Vajra Shield!"
Suddenly.
Two weak, feminine shouts rang out.
Directly in front of the dragon claw, two shields radiating golden light appeared simultaneously.
Crack!
Crack!
After holding for only a moment, both golden shields shattered at the same time.
"Ahhh—Dark Blade Super Dreadnought Shockwave!"
A beautiful, golden-haired figure leaped from above Evileye's head, the black magic sword in her hands chopping down heavily on the dragon claw.
Immediately after, pure black energy erupted.
Boom!
The massive shockwave not only sent Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra flying but also managed to block the dragon claw's assault.
*Everyone!*
"Dragon Lightning!"
Seeing that her companions, who were supposed to have escaped, had returned, Evileye's eyes welled up with unwilling tears as she furiously chanted.
Boom!
The Dragon Lightning, enhanced by two different types of magic, erupted with a dazzling blue light that illuminated the entire Jungle.
"A useless attack!"
The arrogant voice rang out calmly.
The Dragon Lightning struck the crimson giant dragon with pinpoint accuracy. However, as everyone watched, the lightning dissipated, revealing the dragon was still completely unharmed.
There were only some scorched marks and a few broken scales where the Dragon Lightning had hit.
Bang!
The dragon claw lifted and snatched Evileye into its grasp.
"Let Little One go—Super Consecutive Attack!" Gagaran charged out from behind, roaring with weakened fury as she swung her shattering hammer, striking Tang Zheng's dragon claw like a sudden downpour.
Clang—Clang—
A dense series of metallic collisions exploded against the dragon claw.
"Run!"
"Why didn't you run!?" Evileye's voice trembled, a wail mixed into her sobs.
Tang Zheng lifted his arm, swatting Gagaran away, then brought the captured Evileye before his face.
