Chapter 29: Bone Dragon

  "Delicious! Delicious!" In the dark space of consciousness, Francis was constantly devouring "It's truly delicious! That old man's spiritual energy is so pure! The taste is great!" Francis grabbed a handful of virtual shadow and stuffed it directly into his mouth, without even chewing, the spiritual energy was assimilated by him. Just now, in a spiritual energy showdown, he had been at a disadvantage, with many spiritual energies being defeated. Now, with his spirit feeling somewhat empty, he dove straight into Scott's leftover spiritual energy, grabbing the ownerless spiritual energy and stuffing it nonstop into his mouth.

  Francis was greedily devouring the spiritual energy left by Scott, he had never felt his soul so full before, and this satisfaction of his soul made him like it more than being full after eating. No matter how much he ate, he wouldn't be surfeited, Francis secretly indulged in it.

  "Ding!" Just as Francis was enjoying his meal, the system voice sounded again "Trojan cleared, database file damaged, single-player game temporarily unavailable, player needs to download patch package for repair!"

  "Single-player? Do I have this?! Isn't it supposed to be online to play?" Francis thought, stuffing his mouth with food: "Do I have this thing?" "And what about downloading patches and all that, how is that possible?"

  "Oh no! Saber and Disc, they must have been worried to death for so long! But how do I get out of here?" Just as Francis was anxiously wondering what to do, he exited the conscious space.

  "Cough!" Francis, who was being supported by Dis, slowly came to and looked at the anxious Dis in front of him. Francis hurriedly asked, "Di...s...I'm...fine, no need...to worry? Where's Lila?" At this time, Francis' speech was still a bit unclear.

  "A streak of black light just shot out from Young Master's brow, Saber has gone after it!" Seeing Francis wake up, Dis breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Oh! What...? No good, hurry up and chase after him, that's the Law God! His spiritual power is extremely high, if you're not careful... your soul will be taken away! I'm fine now, you go chase after him first... quickly! If it's too late, Lila will be in danger!" Francis urged hastily. Francis was worried that Saber would be possessed by Scott, but his worry was unnecessary, Scott's current mental state was terrible, he could barely cast a few spells, possession was already impossible.

  "But...young master, you're now..." Dais asked worriedly.

  "Crack! Crack crack crack... Splat... Boom!" A sound of something shattering came from outside.

  "Go quickly!" Francis urged "I'm safe here, go support Lila!"

  "I get it! Young master, stay here and don't move!" Dis turned around and ran out. As he turned around, the holy clothes were directly put on his body.

  Francis slowly got up from the ground, to be honest, he not only didn't get hurt, but his spiritual power even increased. Now his magic has reached the fifth level, Scott originally wanted to use dark elements to erode the light elements in Francis' body, but unexpectedly, it backfired and Francis' magic broke through its restraints, advancing to a fifth-level light mage in one go. Francis once again advanced in a muddled way, but this form of advancement probably wouldn't be liked by Francis. Francis had just lost control of his body for a while, now his movements were a bit stiff, but his spiritual power increased again, and he would soon recover, and his control over his body could also improve.

  A flash of black light, and he quickly rushed out of the black hole, but he knew he was locked onto by Saber behind him. Scott, a generation of heroes, how could he not leave himself with multiple escape routes? Since the coup failed, let's talk about it later, now what's important is to retrieve his own Space Ring! That's an empire's treasure, can't be lost here! A flash of black light, and he directly plunged into the giant dragon sculpture in the hall.

  Saber charged out with his sword, just in time to see the black light rush into the sculpture. Without saying a word, he swung his sword and struck it. The sword went straight into the leg of the sculpture, "Crack!" The plaster on the leg of the sculpture was directly shattered by Saber's slash, revealing what was inside the sculpture to the air.

  "What is this?" Saber's eyes widened as she stared at the figure inside the sculpture "Is this... a skeleton?"

  "Crack, crack, crack... Creak, creak..." The bones inside seemed to be alive, constantly struggling to break free from the plaster outside. The plaster continued to crumble, falling down in large chunks. Saber looked at the sword in his hand, wondering if he should use that move. No, this cave would collapse. How annoying, fighting such a huge guy in such a narrow space! "Ah! You guys who dare to take away my wealth, all go die!!" Scott's voice came from the sculpture. This bone dragon was originally his comrade, the Ice Frost Giant Dragon Gloreia. He used to be a Dragon Knight Mage, relying on his own magical powers and Gloreia's strength as a Divine Dragon to conquer the vast lands of the Zabitan Empire. After becoming emperor, he discovered that even divine life only lasted a few hundred years. So, he began to pursue immortality. Due to his obsession with power, he neglected his own cultivation and could no longer advance further. In desperation, he used his most skilled alchemy to turn his comrade Ice Frost Giant Dragon Gloreia into...

  Yà dú shā, gǎi chéng le yī zhī gǔ lóng, ér tā zé kě yǐ kòng zhì zhè jù shēn tǐ, zhè yě shì tā liú gěi zì jǐ zuì hòu de dǐ pái le!!

  "Ka! Ka ka ka... Hsss... Boom!!" The skeletal dragon finally broke free from the plaster on its body, lifting its head to look at Saber. It wasn't until this skeletal dragon fully appeared before her that Saber realized that even if the strongest species on the continent was reduced to just a skeleton, it still possessed an overwhelming presence. The skeletal dragon's entire body had turned slightly black, likely due to the Dark God's alchemy. Two red glows flickered in its empty eye sockets, and dark magical smoke continuously billowed out of its massive dragon maw. All of its joints were connected by dark magic, and its enormous dragon claws seemed capable of easily tearing apart any obstacle. Most terrifying of all was the skeletal dragon's wings, which had fully spread to over thirty meters in length. Its originally long tail now only consisted of segment after segment of bone, looking exceptionally eerie.

  Scott saw Saber holding a sword in front of him, and without saying a word, he directly used his dragon claws to grab her. Saber immediately dodged to one side, she was definitely no match for this skeletal dragon in terms of strength.

  Saber dodges to the left and right, avoiding the Bone Dragon's two claw attacks, and directly jumps onto its ribs. The Bone Dragon's ribs are extremely thick, and Saber's sword can only scrape off some bone dust, having no effect on the Bone Dragon's massive body!

  "Damn it!" Scott roared in anger, the massive dragon claw swiped at Saber. Saber didn't panic, jumping a few steps onto the Bone Dragon's back and running along its spine towards its skull. That was the Bone Dragon's fatal weakness! Scott also realized Saber's intention at this time, the massive dragon body directly fell to the ground and started rolling around, Saber had no choice but to jump off the Bone Dragon's body. As soon as she landed, a thick dragon tail made of bones swept towards her, Saber immediately jumped up and dodged to one side.

  How infuriating! Ordinary attacks with a body this large are completely ineffective. Saber grips the sword tightly in her hand, carefully watching every move of the Bone Dragon, wary of its sneak attack.

  Scott slowly calmed down and began to look at Saber in the eye. Looking at Saber, who looked like a young girl, Scott said with emotion: "I never thought that you would reach the level of a Saint at such a young age! It's a bit of a pity to kill you... How about this? Surrender to me and I can spare your life! Once I've established..." Scott had an air of commanding thousands of troops, as if he had regained his former feeling of being an emperor.

  "Shut up!" Saber interrupted Scott's words, coldly staring at the skeletal dragon in front of him. "Today is your day of death!!"

  "Hahaha..." It seemed like he had heard something funny, Scott burst out laughing. "I've met many geniuses like you before, always thinking they're the best, looking down on others! Young people, having some pride is okay, but don't be arrogant! You think your Sacred-tier strength can last long under my Divine-tier Dark Alchemy Dragon Bone? What can you do, it's really laughable!" As he finished speaking, Scott's eyes flashed with a dangerous glow.

  "Wow! Such a big bone, it must be very hard to dismantle!" A voice came out from the hole. Scott looked into the hole and saw a man in golden armor walking out of it. At this time, Dis's small universe was burning with all his might, and Scott could easily feel Dis's strength.

  Saber furrowed his brow, "What about Young Master?"

  "Alright, alright! The young master said this guy is a divine rank, let me take a look. Is this bone the same as that black light from just now?"

  "Yes! It drilled into that sculpture and became like this!"

  "I knew it, I had a feeling that statue was trouble! I should have smashed it earlier!" Dais regretted not investigating thoroughly from the start.

  Damn it! It's actually a Divine Rank! I've suffered too much spiritual damage, in this narrow place, I'm afraid... Fine, I can only use the aerial advantage to fly and fight them in the sky! Although Divine Rank strongmen all have the ability to fly, but the sky will always be the domain of the giant dragon! Those twelve rings must be mine! Scott was also thinking about countermeasures while the two were talking, after all, he had suffered heavy losses, at this time, taking on two people at once would be absolutely hopeless!

  Scott Zhang's mouth was wide open, a dark magic ball spat on the ground "Let you see the true horror of the giant dragon!" The dark magic ball hit the ground and directly merged into the ground. Saber and Dis immediately looked at the ground vigilantly.

  "Ka ka la la ~~" Although the ground under their feet was still very stable, Dis and Saber clearly felt that the ground they were on was constantly rising. "What's going on?" Dis wondered what the skeleton dragon had done. If Francis were here, he would tell Dis that this feeling was a bit like taking an elevator.

  "Boom!", after the vibration stopped, the whole hall came to a standstill. Scott said proudly, "Look, this is the wonder of alchemy!"

  "What a wonderful alchemy! Is it just shaking on the ground? I didn't see any changes!" Dis said very rudely. "Hooooo... Hooooo..." Unexpectedly, the sound came from above their heads. After a series of loud noises, the vaulted ceiling of the great hall opened from the middle to both sides, and sunlight even shone in!
