Cthulhu Gonfalon

From the sky, one could see that they had entered a huge magic array and were headed towards the center of it. To the two of them, who were both running for their lives, the many drains, stones and twigs on the floor did not affect their speed at all. Well, at least not for the dragon.

“It seems like this battle will soon be over.” Wenner smiled and nodded slightly.

Sui Xiong smiled back in return and was about to reply, but instead furrowed his eyebrows.

A strange sort of gut feeling overcame him, and he knew that things would not go as smoothly as they seemed.

He glanced at Wenner with uncertainty, trying to get an answer from him.

Wenner paused as well. He had previously felt that the war was about to end and that the dragon would be killed. However, after just a short period of time, this instinct had changed. It was almost like fate had just been altered, and whatever was supposed to happen would now change.

“Is someone taking action secretly in the background?” Wenner muttered to himself and shook his head. “Impossible! I am the God of War; I would know if anyone was up to no good in this battle!”

“Maybe it is someone else who also controls the area of war. There are quite a few other gods who can do so,” Sui Xiong guessed.

“Even so, they would not be able to go over my head. For me to not detect their actions is impossible!” Wenner replied confidently.

Sui Xiong shook his head and said nothing further. After all, the reality was just so, even if Wenner refused to admit it.

If there was really someone taking action without their knowledge, this person’s abilities were definitely strong, and this was worrying. To be able to determine a battle’s results as well as to lurk in the vicinity of Sui Xiong and Wenner without being detected—that was some feat!

Just as they talked, the duo on the ground had already entered the core of the magic array. That was a flat surface covered with white stones, and a white-haired old man in star-like robes stood within the numerous rocks. As he watched their arrival, he smiled and raised the magic wand in his head, reading mantras to activate his magic.

In an instant, blinding white light shot out from the ground through every crack and detail in the magic array, transforming the entire array into a white sea. This was extremely vast, and it was as if the three of them had left the Main Plane to the outside of the world. Here, it was full of goodness and light, where good living creatures could be at peace: a haven.

Due to the intensity of Positive Energy, there were many glimmering angels and other little creatures that had been created. They cheered and sang songs, increasing the Positive Energy of the magic array. In this sea filled with goodness, Sui Xiong also felt extremely comfortable, and the wounds he had suffered from in battle were instantly healed. His powers were also increasing, and his spirits lifted.

On the other hand, the dragon did not fit in here as this was not its realm. Entering this vast sea filled with goodness was like being dipped in concentrated acid. Not only was the dragon severely disturbed and shocked, but its powers were also depleted and its soul was damaged. To the dragon, this was the most dangerous thing as it would lose its demigod strength and be demoted to the legendary peak level if its soul were to be depleted to a certain extent. If it reached that point, facing many other legendary peak masters, it would not be able to defend itself and would be cut up into many pieces, possibly facing death.

Clearly sensing the danger it was in, the dragon let out an angry roar, and dark red flames shot out from its body. These flames were like water meeting fire when coming into contact with Positive Energy. With a hissing sound, they began to extinguish the Positive Energy. Within a minute, with such a method, the dragon had already eliminated a fair amount of Positive Energy to earn itself a short break. It did not hesitate and flapped its wings in an attempt to fly out of this trap. However, even before it had left the ground, Leon hit it with his strongest attack yet.

This time, Leon’s sword was not only glowing, but his armor as well. Blinding white light engulfed the entire array and made him stronger. Furthermore, the nature of his strength was also now changing. In the Positive Energy environment, Leon had a huge advantage. His body was now able to withstand more shocks than before. Although the armor was not capable of independent thought, it still had a soul. This soul could clearly sense Leon’s state and allowed him even more capabilities. Leon himself could also feel this change and understood that the armor was now stronger than before. It was not that the armor was weak before, but its nature had now changed. No, rather than saying that the armor had changed, it was more that it had adapted to suit Leon, who was the one changing in nature.

Leon continued to shout and was just about to carry out his strongest attack when his heart suddenly became empty, and he entered a strange state. It was as if everything in front of him had disappeared, be it the Positive Energy magic array or the dragon he was about to kill. He felt like he was floating in a sea of emptiness, where nothing else existed. It felt like everything was within reach; as long as he wanted to, he could do anything he desired. In an instant, the emptiness vanished, and his sword hit the dragon’s head had. The sword met with the strongest bones in the dragon’s head. However, the sword seemed to have lost its power and did not slice open the dragon’s brain or even cut through any dragon scales.

However, this attack was still visibly strong, and it momentarily blocked the dragon’s escape attempt. At the same time, Satan pushed the magic array, and white light flashed toward the center from all directions, joining with the Positive Energy to become stronger. The dragon let out an angry roar, and red flames rose from its body yet again.

However, this time, the flames were no longer able to fully extinguish the Positive Energy around it. More importantly, powerful pressure had begun to float down from the sky, and after executing his attack, Leon did not land back on the ground but was suspended in midair, still holding his magical sword. His gaze was a little dazed and unfocused, but with every wave of his sword, strong power descended from the sky, landing heavily on the dragon’s head, not allowing him to fly up. The dragon could only stay on the ground and let the Positive Energy eat away at him.

If this continued, the evil dragon would definitely be wiped clean of his strength and could only wait for death.
