Chapter 324: Ancient Dragon Spectral Cult (Fixed)
"Steller Dipper Blade Academy, EarthCore Continuum Academy... Haha, just a bunch of small figures. When our Ancient Dragon Spectral Cult almost ruled the Continent, forces like them could be erased with just the wave of a hand." Archon's eyes flickered with a chilling light. "If it hadn't been for those Academy alliance bastards, how could our Ancient Dragon Spectral Cult land in this situation?
"Hmph, but it doesn't matter. Before long, our Ancient Dragon Spectral Cult will rise again. When that day comes, we'll definitely uproot the entire alliance!"
The grey-cloaked Elder's eyes flickered. "City Lord, there was a group of youths who recently arrived in the White Dragon Overlord City. They aren't very old, but they're extremely powerful. I secretly investigated and learned that they're from the Death Gate Academy."
"Oh?" Aetheron's brows frowned. Then he laughed nastily. "So they're from the Death Gate Academy. No wonder they were so arrogant."
"From the Death Gate Academy?" Archon's brows knitted as he carried on, "Could they be here for the Overlord Sacred dimensional relics, as well? Could the Death Gate Academy know about what was hidden? That's impossible!"
"It doesn't seem like it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent such a small party."
The grey-cloaked Elder shook his head and continued, "Among them, there's a white-dressed girl who's a second year student and Rank 3 of the Supernal Ranking, Aelira. She's probably at the Fiendgod Stage Middle Phase, extremely powerful. Aside from her, there's Michael and Nyxa, also ranked in the top 30 of the Myth ranking. The other two were only Demonic Fighters — ordinary and nothing to fear."
Based on the grey-cloaked Elder's words, you could tell that he was very familiar with the Death Gate Academy.
"Fiendgod Stage Middle Phase..." Archon held the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll. The Death Gate Academy definitely has their methods of nurturing students. They already possessed such frightful power at such tender ages.
"Father, what should we do? Those people from Death Gate Academy actually dared to step into our territory! We definitely can't let them go. Furthermore, if they relay the news back to Death Gate Academy and invite genuine experts to reinforce them, the situation could turn extremely unfavorable for us.
Who knows if our preparations all these years will turn out to be in vain?" Aetheron licked his lips. His voice was sinister; however, his eyes were filled with desire.
The grey-cloaked Elder nodded to Aetheron's words. "What Young City Lord said isn't wrong. Those students from the Death Gate Academy are an unstable factor."
Archon's eyes narrowed. "That Aelira isn't weak. If we force them, she might slip away. If that happens, we'd be inviting even greater trouble."
"City Lord, among that group of five, the girl with the Demonic Fighter Late Phase cultivation is Aelira's biological sister. If we can capture her, Aelira will definitely be retrained and would refrain taking drastic measures in fear of hurting her sister. Won't they be in our grasp by then?" The grey-cloaked Elder said in a low voice.
Archon lightly smiled and nodded to his words. He heavily placed the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll on the table and said in solemn voice.
"Then let's get rid of all those unstable factors. Remember, don't take any actions within White Dragon Overlord City, so as to avoid attracting the attention of the Death Gate Academy."
Archon smiled as he revealed his white teeth and a chilling energy ripple.
"Wait until they exit White Dragon Overlord City, then send out the Spectral sentinels to get rid of them. Anyways, there have been quite a number of Death Gate Academy students who've died by our hands, the hands of the Ancient Dragon Spectral Cult..."
Early the next day, Aelira's party left White Dragon Overlord City for the Prime Draconis Ridge. Even though White Dragon Overlord City was the largest city in the vicinity of the Prime Draconis Ridge, it was still located some distance away to avoid commotions caused by the local Dimensional beasts. Therefore, Tyrion's party had to quickly set upon their journey.
It was only after they left did they realize just how huge an impact the news made — the news that this Sacred dimensional relics was actually a Overlord Sacred dimensional relics.
The wide road to the Prime Draconis Ridge was jammed with an astounding number of people. So much that even the air was periodically filled with figures that flashed overhead. Everyone was rushing in one direction — towards the Prime Draconis Ridge, as well.
Tyrion's group felt helpless at this scene. They originally wanted to quietly explore; they never expected there to be such massive levels of activity.
"We should hurry to the Prime Draconis Ridge and find somewhere to set up camp, before nightfall. Otherwise, if we move around recklessly, we'll easily attract the attention of the Dimensional beasts." Aelira said with a light voice.
Tyrion and the others nodded at her words. Shortly after, their figures moved and streaked across the horizon.
As they rushed towards the Prime Draconis Ridge, they overlooked something. Some distance behind them, a dark gaze had locked onto them.
Tyrion's party didn't rest at all on the trip; so, by the time dusk arrived, they could see the edge of the Prime Draconis Ridge.
It was a continuous mountain range with peaks of different heights. Among them was a ten thousand meters peak that soared into the heavens, piercing through the cloud layer and the edge of the sky. From time to time, roars of beasts would resonate throughout the air, stirring the 'DUST' in the atmosphere.
However, even such a towering mountain range couldn't conceal the baleful energy waves rising from the earth. This energy was left behind from the earth-shaking battle that took place a few hundred years ago. Countless experts had fallen and turned into skeletons.
"It's truly worthy of being a place that a Overlord expert had once fallen." Tyrion's group stood on the peak of a distant mountain and sighed at the cruel energy fluctuating throughout the Prime Draconis Ridge.
"The emerging Sacred dimensional relics happens to be located in the depths of the Prime Draconis Ridge. That area is filled with so many Dimensional beasts that there might also be quite a few legendary Dimensional beasts. Of course, we'll also have to take note of other adventurer groups who've come to the Prime Draconis Ridge seeking treasure. Those people aren't going to be easy to deal with.
Furthermore, they'll be extremely ruthless. If we end up offending them, they won't bother about our origins and definitely won't show any mercy for the sake of their interests." Aelira stared at the Prime Draconis Ridge that was streaming with a baleful energy ripple. This wasn't a good place.
"Therefore, everyone has to work as one during this trip to the Prime Draconis Ridge. No one is to act on their own." Aelira said as she directed her line of sight towards Lara. Her charming eyes stared and continued, "Understood?"
Lara scowled and glared at her sister. Was that directed at her?
The other three couldn't help smiling from the side.
"Let's move out. We'll search for a safe place to set up camp in the Prime Draconis Ridge." Aelira waved her diamond-like hands. Then, her figure took the initiative and shot away, heading directly towards the baleful Prime Draconis Ridge. Tyrion and the other three followed closely behind.
When they entered the Prime Draconis Ridge dimension, they instantly felt a surge of ice-cold air shroud them. This was thanks to the baleful energy ripple of the Prime Draconis Ridge. If they allowed this to enter their bodies, it'd corrode them. Therefore, when parties entered this area, they usually had to circulate their energy to prevent the baleful energy wave from invading their bodies.
Tyrion's group quickly flew over the Prime Draconis Ridge, encountering many adventurer parties along the way. When those blood-lusting adventurer groups saw their party, their eyes instantly lit up. Their gazes couldn't help moving all over Aelira, Lara, and Nyxa.
These people rarely ever saw such beautiful girls. Now that they encountered one, their hearts naturally itched.
But, even though their hearts itched, none of them were blind. Especially the leaders of their groups. They all stared at Aelira and her party in fear, with eyes on full guard. They barked, warning their members to keep their eyes peeled and avoid offending this party.
And because of that, their party didn't meet any trouble, even though Aelira and her companions were quite eye-catching. In addition, they were still in the outer borders of the Prime Draconis Ridge, so there were very few powerful Dimensional beasts. Therefore, by the time night fell, they managed to find a good campsite.
They laid out their small camp in the middle of the desolate forest. The bonfire's flames soared and dispersed a faint light into the darkness.
The bonfire illuminated Aelira's gentle and charming face. She smiled and said, "Tonight, Michael is on guard duty. Remember not to let your guard down. Danger could appear at any time in a place like this."
Tyrion and the others nodded.
