Chapter 845: Chapter 0842: The Bound Elf (Fourth Update, Alliance Hierarch Extra 8/150)
Having delivered Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan to Flame Island and found a suitable Dragon Nest for him in the peaks of the Flame Mountain Range, Liszt bid farewell to mundane affairs.
In the time that followed, he and Bard constantly shuttled between the material world and the world beyond matter.
They collected a vast amount of information to pass on to Ach, who continually revised new Magic Gate design proposals.
One day in mid-October, as usual, he and Bard flew into the world beyond matter, aimlessly searching for any new anomalies—up until now, apart from the Wormhole Space of the Great Whirlpool, no other anomalous points had appeared; the world beyond matter seemed like a stagnant pool.
After several days without any discoveries, a sense of discouragement inevitably rose in Liszt’s heart.
However, at that moment, the Formless Dragon, using Magic Return Positioning, finally detected a new anomaly point beyond the anomaly of the Great Whirlpool.
...
“Woo yee ya!” Bard suddenly became excited.
The man and dragon swiftly flew towards the anomaly point.
They fueled Space Magic Power and broke through the material boundary.
They directly traversed out of the anomaly point, with a thundering sound, their field of view suddenly cleared, and they arrived in a strange space. This space appeared to be composed of countless shattered mirror pieces, but within the Crystal White Trajectory, each crack in the mirrors was a trace of tearing left in the Magic Web.
Bard merely brushed against a crack with his wings, and he let out a painful scream, “Woo yee ya!”

An intense sensation of tearing pain emerged simultaneously in both his and Liszt’s hearts. As Bard quickly drew his wings in, Liszt realized that the Formless Dragon’s left wing had been sliced by the crack, leaving a gash as long as an adult’s arm. Transparent blood flowed out as Space Magic Power constantly dissipated in this strange space.
“Be careful, Bard, something’s not right here!” Liszt bore the pain and guided the Formless Dragon, carefully avoiding each torn fissure.
Layers upon layers of strange cracks made the space utterly fragmented and disjointed.
The man and dragon had to move forward gingerly. Fortunately, the dragon’s healing ability was strong, and the wound was already beginning to scab over. Liszt took out several Magic Potions and downed them, replenishing both his and the Formless Dragon’s drained Magic Power. The Magic Potion transformed into pure Magic Power, fueling the Dragon Dou Qi, which he then channeled into the Formless Dragon through Dragon Knight Resonance.
Because the Magic Power attributes did not fully align, there was substantial loss, but it was somewhat beneficial overall.
Only between him and Little Fire Dragon Leo was there no significant loss when Dou Qi and Magic Power fused.
“Over there, the exit to the material boundary is over there.” Liszt constantly operated the Crystal White Trajectory to scan the cracks, finally locating the material boundary.
“Woo yee ya!” The Formless Dragon, however, pointed towards another exit.
In the direction it indicated, there was another strange boundary resembling a material boundary. Liszt looked closely and felt that this exit might lead to a different material world. He intended to investigate, but the dense cracks obstructed and prevented him from crossing through.
They could only return to the familiar material world, honestly.
Hoo hoo!
Hoo hoo!
After returning to the material world, they immediately encountered a gust of fierce wind, as he and the Formless Dragon were right between two towering mountain peaks. It seemed to be a wind tunnel, with strong winds howling and brushing past Bard’s body, nearly flipping him over.
After escaping the wind tunnel, they took a careful look around the area.
They saw that the mountains were not very high, but because they were quite close together, they formed a valley shaped like an hourglass. The wind happened to pass through the narrowest part of the Hourglass Valley, being dramatically compressed and accelerated, hence the violent gales. But this was not a naturally formed environment, rather it was a human-carved valley.
There were very obvious cut marks on the sides of the mountains, as if they were the work of a giant’s hacking and chopping.
“How strange, it’s actually man-made carving. The carvings on the mountain body are very rough, somewhat similar to the effect of the Super Magic released by Ach… Could it be that this is the masterpiece left by an Ancient Mage?” He suddenly steered Bard to fly high into the sky and overlooked from an altitude of five thousand meters.
Instantly, he noticed that this mountain range was one he had passed by before when mapping, located on the Great Plains in the middle of Flame Island.
It was an inconspicuous, elongated mountain range, with the Hourglass Valley at its center. Because it was obscured by trees, from a distance, if one didn’t look carefully, it would be impossible to see the Hourglass Valley.
“There’s something going on here!”
Liszt’s heart leaped with joy; he loved this kind of adventure. He didn’t know what role Flame Island played in the ancient wars, but it certainly saw a host of powerful figures leave their marks—perhaps even treasures like the Time Scepter, a divine artifact.
He dived, returning to Hourglass Valley.
The Crystal White Trajectory was opened, revealing traces of magic power at the center of Hourglass Valley. This peculiar vent was connected to the broken rift in space.
Liszt decided not to venture in haphazardly.
The rifts were too dangerous.
He searched toward the base of the mountain and soon found a large Moon Slayer Native Tribe living there. The tribe was holding some ceremony on a clearing at the foot of the mountain. As Liszt approached, he saw them kneeling before six broken statues.
Only one statue was intact, over twenty meters tall, depicting a Magician wearing a Magic Cloak, holding a slender stone broken sword in hand.
“Could there be a sealed divine artifact inside?” A thought suddenly flashed through Liszt’s mind.
He then saw a group of Ancient Mages on the clearing, lifting wooden trays high and approaching the statue. An Ancient Mage, likely a Listener, stood in front of the statue, urging on a large brazier emitting blue flames. They seemed to be preparing to pour the contents of the trays into the blue flame brazier.
“How dare they!”
Upon seeing what was on the trays, Liszt’s anger soared. He manifested his and Bard’s Dragon Knight forms from the material realm.
Dragon Might spread recklessly, like an invisible wave of force, the tens of thousands of Moon Slayer Natives on the clearing overwhelmed and brought to their knees by the immense pressure.
The Ancient Mages were also forced to the ground, gasping for breath.
The trays fell from their hands with a series of “chirrup,” “woah,” and “gurgle” sounds—turning out to be a group of Little Minor Elves, a bunch of Elf Bugs, and the loudest of all, a Greater Elf. They were all tied to the trays, unable to move.
Yet their eyes were fixed on the Formless Dragon Knight descending from the sky.
Fear, delight, and other emotions flickered through these small beings’ eyes.
“Woooah!”
The Formless Dragon landed, directly knocking down a statue that was half-collapsed, standing on its base, roaring skyward.
Amidst its roar, Liszt dismounted and drew out the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword, slowly walking toward the Ancient Mages.
The silver-white armor, bright red cloak, deep blue sword, and pale golden short hair revealed an unmatched noble presence, the brilliance almost blinding the Ancient Mages looking up.
“Eh… ho ho… Cassido… Mosiros…” The Tribe Listener’s magic power was robust, roughly that of a top-level Grand Magician, struggling against the oppression of the Dragon Might, attempting to stand while calling out.
Liszt simply stirred up a new wave of Dragon Might and struck fiercely.
Boom!
The Listener hit the ground again.
The other Ancient Mages were also trembling, unsure of what to do.
Such was the terror of a Dragon Knight! With his own power, he stunned the entire scene, leaving those Moon Slayer Natives who had never faced Dragon Might utterly unable to resist.
Liszt stepped over the Ancient Mages crawling on the ground, reached the big Greater Elf, extended a finger with some Jade Powder on it, and signaled for the Greater Elf to bite quickly.
“You’re safe now.”
“Angchi, angchi, kronji…” The Greater Elf spat out a string of unintelligible bird song.
Seeing this, Liszt gently tapped it on the head, inadvertently causing the Greater Elf to clamp down, biting through the skin on Liszt’s finger.
The contract was instantly sealed.
A wave of familiar affection rose in the heart of the Greater Elf.
