Chapter 1483: Chapter 912: I Understand Now! (Part 2)

The crystal as large as a hill developed cracks all over under the strike, yet it did not shatter, merely pushed back by the mighty force of the giant dragon.

"Ha!"

Nadi gripped the crystal with both hands and swung it fiercely towards White Dragon Heiss!

White Dragon Heiss raised its arm, and its sharp claw grasped in the air. The massive crystal shattered with a boom, but the scattered crystal fragments, influenced by its extraordinary skill, seemed to pause in time and hover in mid-air for a moment. In the next second, they rushed at Nadi as if to trap her within.

Even with Hades using his absorption magic at maximum power, he couldn’t help Nadi. Turci tried to disperse the excess crystals with a magic shield, but as soon as it was deployed, it was pierced by a newly formed crystal spear, shattering the fresh magic shield.

She looked towards White Dragon Heiss’s direction, only seeing the opponent’s icy blue-white color.

In the absence of any attention, the Tree Demon split into several smaller entities, yet they didn’t go to help Nadi out of her predicament but rushed at White Dragon Heiss intending to steal some crystals!

Whether it was White Dragon Heiss’s manipulation or the crystals auto-protecting their master, the crystals surged towards the Tree Demon.

A burst of flashes exploded in front of the Tree Demon, leaving only one active hand of Fingerley to pave the way forward for the Tree Demons, charging mightily ahead with them.

And at that moment, the temperature inside the cavern suddenly rose sharply, the air distorted significantly due to the sudden appearance of high temperatures, sweat instantly streamed down everyone’s foreheads.

Looking up, it was Nadi revealing her True Martial Soul!

No, she hadn’t fully transformed into a giant dragon but rather enveloped her human form with scorching magma, which took on the shape of a giant dragon. Some genuinely dragon-transformed parts of her limbs were visible amidst the Magma Dragon, and the flowing magma continually attacked the crystals surrounding her with high heat, she even had the space to spit a mouthful of magma phlegm towards White Dragon Heiss.

White Dragon Heiss raised its head and blocked the magma with a crystallized shield.

It seemed to have anticipated this development, slightly opening its mouth towards Nadi.

A Crystal Breath compressed long ago, waiting to be fired, was hidden within.

"Whoosh!"

The crystal, compressed to an extreme even thinner than a human arm, pierced through Nadi’s dragon body in an instant!

Her constantly flailing limbs suddenly stiffened, and at that moment, the magma on her body also stalled. The next instant, the floating crystals seized the opportunity and surged forward, forming an indestructible cage centered around her!

The size of this crystal cage was not much smaller than the previous crystal mountain. Seeing this, Turci exerted all her strength to alter its trajectory to avoid crushing her side.

Meanwhile, Vienma was fully focused on manipulating the Tree Demon, which had followed Fingerley’s breath to White Dragon Heiss’s feet, intending to extend poisonous spikes repeatedly like at the start, hoping to poison White Dragon Heiss.

However.

White Dragon Heiss deliberately shifted its body, moving its tail closer to the Tree Demons. What was it doing, inviting them to stab it?

Fingerley’s face was full of question marks, but then he felt a chill on his face, as if hit by some liquid.

"Water? No, this texture, it’s tree sap?"

His eyes suddenly widened because this liquid resembling tree sap was spraying from inside White Dragon Heiss.

These liquids were the poison injected by the Tree Demons earlier!

When he and the Tree Demons approached, White Dragon Heiss sprayed out the poison that had existed within it but had no effect, and the meaning of this action was self-explanatory.

This was announcing that Fingerley and their efforts to breakthrough were utterly fruitless!

For the sake of mockery at this moment, it waited until they approached before performing this action!

Malevolent, it’s the first time Fingerley felt such malevolent nature from a Boss Monster of Sain Dungeon.

"Looks like over there also failed."

Vienma rubbed her eyes and stopped controlling the Tree Demon.

As she relinquished control, both the still-active Tree Demons and the branches and vines on the ground withered visibly, the essence qi extracted from them then rushed into her body, restoring her mental state to better than when the battle began.

Indeed, Vienma was a scholar at the forefront of research into Primordial Magic, she herself possessed peculiar magic unseen by others. If she used it now, it might not reverse the situation but would at least provide additional means against the enemy, surely the situation wouldn’t have turned out like this?

Yet she didn’t use anything related to Primordial Magic, instead reverse transferring the surplus essence qi to Hades who had remained silent behind her.

During the battle moments ago, Hades contributed little as well; at this moment, he was seated on the ground as if a student attentively listening to a lecture, unmoving and fixated on White Dragon Heiss.

Vienma’s voice came from beside him.

"How does it look, inspired at all? There’s no more time to keep giving you a show."

Hades, who seemed frozen like a sculpture, finally moved; he nodded, and beneath his hood, a cheerful voice sounded.

"So that’s it, I’ve figured it out, yes, I understand."

His voice rarely carried such an evident uplifted tone; now he entered a state of enlightenment.

Though asking what he specifically realized might not yield immediate answers, this state was rare and elusive, sufficient for him to breakthrough the research obstacles he faced earlier.

Thanks to everyone’s effort in letting White Dragon Heiss manipulate the crystals for a satisfying battle, allowing him to witness enough crystal possibilities and realize certain things.

Vienma refrained from using magic and only deployed her contracted beast, worrying her magic might affect Hades’s observation, Turci similarly served as a tool person deploying the magic shield for the same reason.

"Whizz whizz whizz—"

Several arrows of crystal shot towards them, Vienma reached out towards the arrows capable of piercing through the shield.

Invisible magic flickered by, and the trajectory of the arrows suddenly changed, shooting straight towards the upper part of the cavern. It was as if subjected to some gravity or gravitational interference?

White Dragon Heiss seemed to realize what the magicians were doing; its claws raised as all the crystals emitted bright blue-white glow, merely the reverberation of the preliminary motion made hearts palpitate uncontrollably, indicative of how astonishing the power of the next move would be.

Fingerley dared to assert this move could instantly flatten Hepa Town or an even larger city, quickly turning his head and shouted:

"Have you seen enough? We must hurry and leave!"

"Okay."

Hades clapped his hands together, creating Luminous Stone Crystal Mixtures exclusive to him around everyone, which promptly enveloped them, forming one by one date-pit-shaped crystal bodies.

In the next moment, the entire cavern was inundated by White Dragon Heiss’s crystals.

...

Who knows how long passed, Fingerley finally opened his eyes.

The sight before him was again the familiar Library Tower prison, only this time, he wasn’t alone.

"Using crystallization to plug one’s breath as self-protection against White Dragon Heiss’s crystal harm to avoid infection, is it indeed...."

Vienma revealed the principle of the move Hades used earlier; unexpectedly it was so straightforward.

"If I had known, I’d rather have been killed by White Dragon Heiss than suffocate; please say something next time beforehand."

She looked outside the cell towards the Library Tower’s scene, her eyes sparkling.

Next comes the research that piqued her interest.
