Chapter 1523 - 932: Pursued by the White Dragon...
The roar of White Dragon Heiss echoed from afar, even though the distance was considerable, its majesty still filled Hades with a sense of foreboding.Although there was no evidence, he was certain that the roar of White Dragon Heiss was directed at him!
Because he had gleaned secrets about the other’s immortality from the person sealed within this Crystal Wall.
According to the Spiritual Body, the secret of White Dragon Heiss was the crystal?
Was it referring to a specific crystal object or the technique of crystallization, or perhaps something else?
Hades speculated that the person was probably someone who came to cause trouble for Heath but ended up being sealed in the crystal and dying on the spot; maybe this guy also came to challenge Heath for Fire Transmission, possibly with good strength, which is why he knew the secret of the White Dragon.
But guessing this person’s identity was of no use to him; the roar from White Dragon Heiss made Hades’s sense of foreboding grow stronger. The top priority was to leave here quickly and continue exploring deeper into the Crystal Cave.
The sudden premonition in his heart caused him to become distracted, and he couldn’t help but think of a possibility.
Could White Dragon Heiss have come here specifically to catch me after knowing I’m here?
As soon as this thought emerged, he was startled, but he quickly calmed down.
How could it be possible? White Dragon Heiss can’t Instant Teleport, how could it directly appear behind me? This notion is simply implausible.
Regaining his composure, Hades turned and walked deeper in.
Then he came face to face with the dragon’s head at point-blank range.
"Ah..."
Their proximity was so close that he could feel the other’s breath, a breath so cold it surpassed Winter’s Grudge Spirit by countless times, making the hair and beard that stood there crystallize with white frost mixed with shards of crystal.
His whole body was just the right size to match the head of this dragon, it seemed not much larger than an oversized model, but....
"White Dragon Heiss!?"
Hades immediately recognized the dragon in front of him as White Dragon Heiss!
This was impossible; wasn’t the other still in the Duke’s Library? How could it run here? Was it coming for me?
Right, the one standing before him wasn’t the real White Dragon Heiss.
The dragon’s head shimmered with the color of crystal, looking almost identical to Heath himself, but in reality, it was entirely made of crystal, and besides the head, it didn’t have a body; this was merely a construct of Crystal Magic!
Just a crystal modeled after its master, nothing to fear, right?
Though that’s what he said, Hades quickly turned to run away within less than a second after seeing White Dragon Heiss.
His right hand with the Long Magic Wand aimed at the Crystal Pillar to create a path of escape using crystal magic, while his left hand with the Short Magic Staff released a weakened Explosion Magic towards the dragon head.
The former allows for more stable magic effects but requires time, the latter can greatly increase magic casting speed but with less power.
"Boom!" A hurricane blew Hades across the hastily created Crystal Bridge, the exploding sparks behind him gave him a push, allowing him to achieve a leap onto another Crystal Pillar in an instant.
Thankfully, there was no obstruction from those damn invisible walls here.
But using the magic behind his head to observe the scene, he saw the crystalized Heath head opening its maw at him, the Explosion Magic inflicted almost negligible damage.
A furious Crystal Storm brewed in its mouth, a Crystal Breath attack possibly no less powerful than Heath himself was about to strike!
Hades even saw emotions of anger and murderous intent in that crystal head, which brought even worse news.
The crystal dragon head before him was being directly controlled by White Dragon Heiss himself!
He never expected that while casually exploring the Dungeon, he’d have a second confrontation with White Dragon Heiss in such an unexpected location.
"Hurricane!"
A hurricane blew fiercely behind him at his call, in this urgent situation, he didn’t even have time to create a Crystal Bridge as a safety feature, only trying to have the hurricane blow himself onto crystals further away from Heath.
Luckily, the distance to the Crystal Pillar ahead wasn’t too far, even relying solely on the hurricane would suffice—
"Boom!"
Halfway through his flight, Hades slammed into an invisible Crystal Wall.
He was plastered onto it as if an invisible trap had caught a solid "fly."
In such a situation, he couldn’t help it, abandoning the qualities and demeanor a professor ought to have.
"Sain! You @#¥#!"
The surging Crystal Breath erupted at this moment, the blue-white crystal streams covered everything in sight, even the invisible wall was shattered by this attack, and the Crystal Pillar ahead was broken, continuously falling amidst the loud noise and tremors.
If the range of this Crystal Breath hadn’t been somewhat reduced, the entire Crystal Cave might have been pierced through.
