Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 634 - 23: Response

Hidden in the shadows, the legendary thief didn't have to wait long before he heard the commotion he desired.

BOOM!!!

The northwest district suddenly erupted in a massive explosion, with successive flames tearing open the earth and shooting skyward. Houses were torn apart like paper under the explosive fire. Scorching flames spread, turning into a terrifying flame storm that swept and enveloped most of the district, twisting even the air under its fearsome heat.

The shockwave from the intense explosion made the entire main city feel as if it was caught in a minor earthquake.

"What happened?!"

"An explosion! It's on fire over there!"

"Run for your lives!"

The entire city, like a nest of startled ants, was set into motion under the intense explosion. A dense crowd of figures poured out of buildings, bringing chaos to the streets.

There were people hidden among the crowd who took advantage of the chaos to launch attacks, making the area near the northwest district even more chaotic.

And at this moment,

Inside a secluded building, the figure in the center of the magical array revealed a sly, conspiratorial smile beneath the shadow of his lips. For safety's sake, these magical arrays, laced with a trace of the Law of Fire power, were mostly buried in desolate yards and remote streets. However, the biggest feature of these chain magic arrays was that the power of the explosion could be infinitely stacked based on the number of sub-magic arrays.

Coupled with that sliver of Flame Law's power, the aftermath was enough to turn most of this district into a sea of fire, destroying half of the main city of this Beastman stronghold.

"This disturbance should be big enough! Friends, my task is complete, good luck to you all."

He whispered softly,

With a wave of his shadowy hand, the dark red magic array on the floor crumbled inch by inch, and the floor reassembled as if alive, looking as though nothing had happened.

According to the plan, the explosion was meant to grab the maximum attention.

Afterward, certain hidden hands would incite turmoil within the remaining parts of the city, attacking the Beastman military that maintained order, plunging the whole city into chaos.

If it could draw out some hidden entity behind this Beastman power, exposing the mastermind's presence before them, it would be ideal.

If not, then the allied thief would have to venture into the Dragon's Nest to investigate.

Contemplating the plan of action, he knew it was time to retreat.

The northwest district was largely engulfed in flames. Such a fierce explosion was bound to attract the attention of any strong individuals present.

Although during their investigation these days, they found no legendary level powerhouses inside the main city, the highest being at Gold Level—perhaps there was a Half-Legendary in the Giant Dragon Palace, but timely support wasn't simple.

Compared to others, this legendary mage's plan was relatively safe.

But it was the enemies' stronghold, so they would likely react soon.

Even if a fight was necessary to distract them, it should at least be conducted on home ground!

Buzz!!!

With a beckoning of his shadowy hand, a visible ripple appeared in the void, magic power gathering between his fingers, causing mysterious changes. Soon, a glowing circle with arcing blue electric light appeared beneath his feet, enveloping them.

Teleportation Technique,

A spell that a Gold Level Great Mage could learn, allowing space travel.

But unlike the elaborate teleportation that required minutes of spellcasting and a prepared coordinate for a Gold Level Great Mage, a Legendary Mage could invoke it effortlessly after understanding the Laws upon advancing to the Legendary level.

However, just as the legendary mage was about to teleport,

BOOM!!!

A terrifying, freezing torrent, seemingly freezing time itself, suddenly engulfed the entire room like a tsunami.

The intense ice magic power disrupted the teleportation magic's patterns, abruptly pulling the Legendary Mage out of his teleport state.

"This is bad!!!"

The Legendary Mage's expression changed drastically; before he could recover from the spell's backlash, he saw the surrounding walls already covered in a thick layer of frost, the freezing cold sinking deep into his heart.

Crack, crack...

The next moment, the frozen ceiling cracked and shattered, making a sound like glass breaking. Looking up in horror, several massive, chilly white claws reached in, and with a slight effort, the thickly ice-sealed ceiling was lifted off like a sheet of paper!

"A little rat, finally found you!"

"Damn it, good thing I arrived on time..."

Accompanied by the grand and dignified voice coming through the shattered ceiling, several ferocious heads peered down, with lantern-like eyes glaring at him furiously.

"Dragons... Dragons... White Dragons?!!!"

The Legendary Mage stared blankly at the sky, the sheer pressure from these menacing heads sapped all his will to resist.

White Dragons,

Adult White Dragons!

Under the gloomy, oppressive sky, at an unknown time, these white dragons hovered high in the sky, spiraling around the tiny house. The terrifying dragon aura surged immensely, nearly suffocating him!

The areas overturned by the earlier explosion arrays were now a frosty swamp, covered by torrents of ice. The earlier rising flames had all been extinguished, with even the ruins encased in thick layers of ice.

Looking at those gigantic beings peering down from the dome as if looking at ants, the Legendary Mage's grip on the magic staff almost slipped.

In an instant, his heart plunged into an incomparably dark abyss.

If he remembered correctly, an adult giant dragon was a Legendary Magical Beast that mastered Law Power!

And there were five of those White Dragons circling high above right now!

...

At the same time, in the west district's military camp.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!!

Soldiers clad in uniform magic armor, shields in one hand and extraordinary greatswords in the other, layered upon layered, were encircling a burly middle-aged man at the center.

The grounds of the military camp surrounding them were now shattered like a spider's web.

Beneath the burly man, a massive crater dozens of meters wide had formed, with rubble rising and falling, and the edges densely packed with fully armed soldiers.

"Huff, huff, huff... Damn, is this a trap... Where did this monster army come from?!"

The burly man, half-kneeling on the ground, one arm propped against it, blood flowing out, was breathing heavily while facing the densely packed, fully armed Beastman army, each of whom remained entirely unflinching from beginning to end.

In the depths of his eyes, there was deep apprehension.
