Chapter 1368: Chapter 95: Finish the Job… and Run—What a Rush!
“Dazzle!”
From the location where Godly Land’s true dragon violently opened the hole, three figures quickly rushed out, then landed on the mithril floating board above the energy pool.
It was the Crimson Flame Tower Master and his spouse, along with the bruised and battered Thunder Tower Master… He seemed to have e to his senses from the beatings of the true dragon.
“What’s the situation now?”
The Crimson Flame Tower Master was an impatient person, jumping directly forward — and when he saw Long Xiruo, his leg movements noticeably stiffened, but fortunately, he didn’t slip.
“Ares has already been captured,” the Luminous Tower Master pointed at the final tumor mass being enveloped by the True Dragon’s power.
The True Dragon’s power seemed to be a form of power existence the magicians were unable to fully prehend— they could clearly feel Ares should be enveloped within this power, yet they could never penetrate it and observe the specific situation.
“Thank you for your efforts, Dazzle,” nodded the Crimson Flame Tower Master.
“No, it’s all thanks to the help of the Godly Land’s True Dragon,” the Luminous Tower Master smiled slightly, “This time in successfully defending against Ares’ invasion, the true dragon’s contribution is truly the greatest… Chiyan, I think we might as well let bygones be bygones.”
What more could the Crimson Flame Tower Master say… He couldn’t win the fight, never could in his lifetime — Pheh, perseverance is always a fine quality of humans!
But he had to admit one thing, which was that it was indeed the presence of the Godly Land’s true dragon that allowed the Association and most of the “Unhumans” to safely get through the crisis.
A fiery temperament did not equate to being unreasonable, this step was already enough for the Crimson Flame Tower Master to take — as for the First Tower Master’s attitude, it was obviously intended to do as the peacemaker.
“Hmph, as long as some people can control themselves, I’m not one to quibble over the trivial,” the Crimson Flame Tower Master said in a lukewarm tone.
Long Xiruo dug at her ear, and flicked her little finger afterward… The Crimson Flame Tower Master pretended not to see, out of sight, out of mind, he walked straight to the trapped Ares and stared for a long time.
He sighed, “Ares, after all these years, you shouldn’t have e back… Haven’t you reflected enough all these years?”
“If I genuinely express remorse now, will you then plan to forgive me?” Ares’ voice was exceedingly calm, “Then I’m truly sorry, I sincerely apologize to you, it was my mistake, and I will reflect well.”
The response caught the Crimson Flame Tower Master off guard, making him open his mouth but unable to voice anything.
“Damn, this old bastard… Not only treacherous but also shameless?” Long Xiruo opened her mouth, then looked at the Luminous Tower Master, “You little dog… what were you thinking back then to apprentice under this old bastard?”
The Luminous Tower Master sighed, a plicated expression on his face, “Mr. Ares used to not be like this. His passion for magic, and his contributions to magicians, are undeniable. He just…”
However, Long Xiruo suddenly waved her hand dismissively, “Enough, I’m not interested! Who cares about a tragic backstory or corrupted reasons of a boss after beating an RPG game! We’re not children; just work hard, enjoy it, that’s it, the world has changed! If it were you who lost today, this guy wouldn’t care about your feelings either.”
“Hahahaha!! Oriental True Dragon, I like what you said!” At this moment, Ares laughed heartily.
Long Xiruo snorted lightly, not intending to engage with him.
“Thank you for the lesson,” the Luminous Tower Master silently bowed to Godly Land’s true dragon, “Dazzle will remember it well.”
The other tower masters might find the First Tower Master’s humble attitude somewhat strange, but they didn’t overthink it, just considered it as the First Tower Master’s social skill… Indeed, it’s more reasonable to forge friendship than make an enemy of such a powerful oriental true dragon.
“Dazzle, how do you plan to deal with Ares?” the Extreme Cold Tower Master asked calmly, “Back then, we abolished Ares’ magic power, yet he still made a eback… This time, we probably can’t be lenient, right?”
“Let’s… put Ares in Zero Degree Hell,” the Luminous Tower Master sighed, “Temporarily, we still need to interrogate him. This invasion has traces of that mysterious society Michael Club; Ares is also a member of this society, and we need more information about it.”
“Send me a copy of the intelligence later too,” Long Xiruo said abruptly.
The Luminous Tower Master smiled, “Of course, Lord Long, rest assured, once there’s reliable intelligence, I will inform you immediately.”
“Very well,” Long Xiruo nodded, “Oh, and another thing… Speaking of which, old Thunder, where are you planning to go?”
As she spoke, everyone instinctively looked towards the Thunder Tower Master… Only to see the Thunder Tower Master had quietly approached the crystal tree at the center of the hub.
Upon hearing this, not only did the Thunder Tower Master not respond, but he even suddenly dashed into the crystal tree — At this moment, God’s true dragon grasped the void, a golden glow transformed into a massive dragon claw, directly capturing the Thunder Tower Master and pulling him back.
“Thunder… What are you trying to do?” the Crimson Flame Tower Master suddenly said in a deep voice.
The Luminous Tower Master furrowed his brows, instinctively looking towards his teacher, God’s true dragon.
At this moment, God’s true dragon still maintained the demeanor of a master, calmly saying, “Don’t you understand yet? There’s still something uncleaned left within this old man’s body!”
“But… I already checked, it is indeed Thunder,” Luminous frowned.
Long Xiruo shrugged, “Back then Ares’ consciousness indeed transferred and scattered into those Prometheus cells, but a small part was hidden within old Thunder’s body. Ares, the old bastard, is very cunning; after deceiving you, he would have used this trick as the final chance to turn the tables, even if there’s no chance, he could safely retreat.”
“I see…” the Luminous Tower Master laughed bitterly, sighed, “Mr. Ares, his achievements in mental magic are truly beyond my reach. So, Lord True Dragon, you always saw through it, and just went along with it, waiting for him to finally reveal himself? Truly… truly a sophisticated means.”
Along with the Crimson Flame Tower Master couple, their gazes had some changes.
As they say, following the strategy is a temporary pleasure, always following is always pleasurable… God’s true dragon was instantly floating.
But facing the First Tower Master’s bright, pure gaze of admiration at this moment, even with True Dragon’s thickness of skin, there was a slight blush.
“…Anyway, this guy is up to you, I won’t meddle with the matters afterward,” Long Xiruo lightly coughed, “Whether to kill or interrogate, do as you please. Remember to send me some of that whatever club intelligence later!”
After handing over the Thunder Tower Master and the tumor mass to Dazzle, God’s true dragon clapped its hands and smashed through the hub space, disappearing from the Magician’s Association headquarters.
“I’ve somewhat changed my view of this Oriental evil… true dragon,” the Crimson Flame Tower Master shook his head, “This year’s Golden Apple harvest is decent. Dazzle, send a few to her later, don’t always let people say I’m stingy.”
“A stingy person’s size is short,” the Extreme Cold Tower Master suddenly chuckled.
“I’m 18CM!”
Watching the daily life between the couple, the Luminous Tower Master smiled slightly… At this moment, Ares and Thunder had pletely quieted down, maintaining an unspoken attitude.
Ares always had a trait, which was after failing, he would fall into a state akin to autism— but instead of being in low spirits, it was more of an intensified mood for summarizing his failure.
He would always reflect on failure, absorb experience, and prepare for the next success.
But Dazzle did not know… that at this moment, Ares was genuinely a bit closed off.
No way… how did this true dragon discover I still had a trick hidden within Thunder?
She clearly shouldn’t have discovered it at the time, otherwise, according to her modus operandi, she would have acted immediately… Where exactly did it go wrong?
Does the true dragon of China have some special ability to acquire information?
Since you know the crystal is a weak point of Prometheus, you should attack it directly from the start… What exactly went wrong there!!!
Obviously unaware of Ares’ mental activities at the moment, the Radiant Tower Master directly opened the so-called entrance to Zero Degree Hell, temporarily sending both the Thunder Tower Master and the tumor inside, before turning to the Chi Yan couple, “Please trouble you two to handle the follow-up here; my body hasn’t returned yet, but I will be back soon.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll keep an eye on the household.” The Extreme Cold Tower Master smiled slightly.
“Home… yes, home.” Radiant smiled, then waved his hand.
In the space hub, the Chi Yan Tower Master and the Extreme Cold Tower Master had already been transported outside the tower, and everything that had been destroyed here began to reconstruct, repairing itself, finally returning to its original state.
He drifted up to the crystal tree, reaching out to touch the crack on its trunk… The crack hadn’t been repaired. As Radiant caressed these fissures, he finally sighed, whispering, “No matter what, I won’t let the Unhuman Domain collapse… Tofani.”
This place began to darken, and Radiant also transformed into photons, his mental projection disappearing here—once again sealing off this place.
…
…
As his spirit returned to his body, Radiant slowly opened his eyes.
“He’s awake!”
In the shelter cave below the cliff, the third Miss quickly exclaimed… At this moment, the little vampire girl also opened her eyes, but she had an exhausted expression, as if she could collapse at any time.
Zhong Luoyue quickly reached out to support her.
Radiant scrutinized the two little vampires before him… one of them seemingly hadn’t even pleted her first transformation.
“What are your names?” Radiant Tower Master asked softly, “Are you also from the Torrido Clan?”
Elizabeth and Zhong Luoyue exchanged a glance… The third Miss signaled the little vampire girl not to reveal too much, and Elizabeth understood, then said, “We’re only temporarily staying here… As for names, it doesn’t matter. Since you’re okay now, we can leave without worries.”
This little vampire girl had the demeanor of doing good deeds without leaving her name. As she spoke of leaving, the third Miss directly supported her and walked outside.
“Wait a moment, you two.” Radiant Tower Master called out.
“What do you want?” The third Miss showed a face full of caution.
Radiant Tower Master smiled slightly, saying, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not a bad person. I’m called Radiant, and this time I ran into some trouble, but thanks to this Miss’s help, I was able to escape; I’m truly grateful.”
“You’re wele.” Elizabeth shook her head, then thought for a moment and said, “I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before…”
Radiant Tower Master said casually, “Perhaps you’ve heard it before, because I’m the Tower Master of the Magician Association Secretariat Tower.”
Magician Association… Tower Master!
The reactions of the little girl and the third Miss were different—Elizabeth was surprised, but besides surprise, she didn’t have many thoughts—but not the third Miss.
As someone who was once a successful and formidable merchant, since entering the Unhuman Domain, she had continuously absorbed all sorts of knowledge from the Unhuman Domain, naturally also focusing on the largest neutral force within it, the structure of the Magician Association, understanding more clearly what a Tower Master is.
“You… you’re the first spokesperson of the Association?”
Radiant didn’t take the third Miss’s slight excitement to heart, only focusing on the little vampire girl, “I sense a very special power on you… Are you very adept at using mental abilities?”
The little girl instinctively said, “Psychological induction?”
“Psychological induction?” Radiant Tower Master was slightly stunned.
The little girl nodded, “Yes, Brother Luo Qiu said my power is called psychological induction.”
Luo Qiu… This name seems familiar somewhere—remember the early conversation between Teacher and Miss Luo Pianqian seemed to mention it…
“This kind of power…” Radiant thought for a moment and said, “Somewhat similar to the Mind Witch’s ability, but it seems different from the Mind Witch’s abilities… I sense its development potential seems greater than the Mind Witch’s. But you seem not yet accustomed to using this ability, right?”
Elizabeth said, “Yes, I’m mainly exploring it by myself.”
This was enough for Radiant to learn a lot of information, exploring by oneself meant having no backing…
The First Tower Master of the Secret Art Tower smiled and said, “I’m very interested in your abilities; I have a considerable collection of magic guide books in my library concerning mental and psychic fields, and even the development of Mind Witches is extensively researched. If you wouldn’t mind, are you interested in being my student? I’d like to teach you how to properly use this power.”
This was also considering his own shortings, the convenience of mental magic—if within the Association, this unique power could be harnessed, it wouldn’t be as passive against enemies like Ares.
Even though Long Xiruo was his mentor, she wouldn’t be around all the time… When relying on oneself is necessary, one must indeed rely on oneself.
After this incident, adding Michael Club to the enemy list is urgent… Before understanding the capabilities of this club, thorough preparations in all aspects must be made.
“Student?” The little vampire girl opened her mouth, seemingly not yet reacting to this proposal.
“Don’t hesitate, just agree.” The third Miss quickly whispered in the girl’s ear, “Being a student of the Association’s First Tower Master, whether or not you succeed in your studies, just having this status is enough to pletely change your identity! It’s only beneficial, there are no disadvantages.”
Elizabeth said, “But I… I feel things are pretty good right now?”
Thus, the third Miss directly played the trump card, “Silly girl, a woman should continuously add value to herself, enhance her charm and appeal to attract the attention of desired objects!”
“Is… is that so?”
“Of course!” The third Miss said solemnly.
“Then… okay.” The little girl nodded finally.
Seeing this, although his heart was quite delighted… After all, when he suffered Ares’ spiritual assault, it was due to this girl’s power that relief was achieved; at that moment, he sensed the tremendous potential of this remarkable power, and developed a fondness for talent.
But the fact that the girl seemed to agree for the sake of attracting the opposite sex… somewhat left this First Tower Master doubting; perhaps his reputation wasn’t effective enough?
But that’s not right, clearly years ago when he simply hinted at taking students, the headquarters hall was utterly packed…
