Summoning the Holy Sword

Chapter 1249: Tremors of Chaos

This is... the dragon soul power...

Erin gazed at her palm. The strong power baffled her. If it were said that in the past, Erin didn’t understand how the moon felt like hanging in the night sky, she completely experienced it right now. She felt like she was floating above the ocean and was bundled by warm darkness, sensing an incredible feeling of comfort and blissfulness. It was as though she should have been here all along.

This was where she should be.

But it hadn’t ended yet.

Erin folded the wings on her back and sauntered forward. She sensed that her power wasn’t fully unleashed. And now, she merely established a connection with the dragon soul power. This was the start of the trial recognizing her strength. But it hadn’t ended yet because she realized that the trial was still ongoing. But this time, she was confident. After all, she was a smart young lady. The three tests in a row helped her gather her thoughts. Shortly after, she found out the connection between them, which gave her the confidence to take on the next trial.

“Seems like Erin has already understood. Not too bad.”

Witnessing Erin’s expression returning to normal, Rhode heaved a sigh of relief. After the series of torments, Rhode, who was also a dragon soul heir, figured that the true meaning behind the trials wasn’t as absurd as he had imagined, but it was designed entirely for dragon soul heirs instead. As a matter of fact, it was really simple to understand. It was just like when a company was hiring a CEO, the company would require the candidates to consider issues from the company’s perspective, instead of occupying the seat of the CEO and worrying about smaller matters like human resources and hygiene problems. Judging from this point, the trials couldn’t be considered to be messing with her. But what was ludicrous was that the trials only gave the topic, but didn’t explain the details. As a result, Erin entered the college examination hall, sat on her seat, only to realize that apart from a huge line of ‘Dragon Soul Continent’s 1st Liberal Arts Examination Questions’, there weren’t any other words at all... How hilarious.

It was also like a group of people applying for a job posting on the Internet. But in the end, only one person entered the office, picked up the trash, threw the trash into the dustbin, and was hired instantly... It sounded like chicken soup for the soul, but wasn’t that simply messing around with others?

Alright then, the next trial is...

Rumble...

While Rhode and the rest focused their attention on the scenery on the magical crystal, when all of a sudden, a deep rumble echoed from underneath their feet and shook the ground. Everyone was stunned. But after a few moments, the tremors stopped and everything returned to normal. The group exchanged looks with one another curiously. Then, Mini Bubble Gum knitted her brows, shrugged, and remarked: “How unlucky for us to experience an earthquake here. Fortunately, it wasn’t too strong, else we would have been buried alive.”

“What’s the difference between being buried alive and our situation now?”

Icy Snow curled her lips and glared at Mini Bubble Gum.

“Don’t forget you were the one who blasted down our only exit.”

“Oh? I admit that was me, but you didn’t forget it was Leader’s order, right, Little Icy?”

“Of course, I know it was Big Brother’s command. I doubt you even remember that.”

Rhode was unsurprised by their bickering anymore, which was why he didn’t stop them. However, gazing at the magical crystal, he felt somewhat strange. For some unknown reason, he felt like the earthquake was abnormal because this land was under the Dark Dragon’s soul protection. Logically speaking, even if there were an earthquake, it shouldn’t have been able to cause any damage or disruption to the dragon soul protection. But now...

What’s happening?

Erin stood firmly on her feet and scanned her surroundings curiously. The violent earthquake startled her. Erin, who was already tormented by the innumerable succession of tests became overly sensitive as a result, thought that this was the beginning of a new trial. But she didn’t expect the earthquake to last for less than half a minute. This left her in astonishment. For some unknown reason, the earthquake was clearly over, but she felt her heart pounding as though something terrible was happening.

No matter what, I must pass the trials as quickly as possible.

Erin arranged her thoughts that were all over the place. She extended her arm and pushed the door open. Shortly after, an enormous maze constructed from black, towering walls presented itself before her eyes. The sturdy, pitch-black walls flickered in unusual magical lights, while lines of indistinct, ancient texts were seen. Looking at this scene, Erin twitched her brow.

Seems like this is my next trial? In that case...

Rumble...

The instant Erin stepped into the maze, the ground rocked abruptly again. Strange, deep rumbles echoed from the underground. This time, the earthquake was slightly longer, and Erin couldn’t help but come to a halt. It lasted half a minute this time, before finally subsiding. Erin gazed at her surroundings. She wasn’t sure what was going on with the earthquake.

Could it be part of the trial?

“What in the world is going on?!”

While Erin crossed the maze in doubt, Mini Bubble Gum beat the dust off from her head and bellowed. The rest exchanged looks in disbelief as to why there would be another wave of earthquakes. Everyone noticed that it was stronger than the first. Not only was the magnitude greater, but it also lasted longer. As a result, everyone was caught off guard and covered in filthy dust and loose sand that fell from above, leaving them in a miserable state. But apart from the grumbling Mini Bubble Gum and Anne, who put up a bitter face, the others had more or less realized that something was amiss. Cassidy narrowed her eyes and held her right hand over the hilt on her waist. Rhode also looked around him as though searching for something.

Boom!

All of a sudden, someone pushed the door open. Rhode spotted the dragon young lady entering the room with a pale and stern expression. But even so, Rhode detected a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. Upon meeting Rhode, the dragon young lady heaved a sigh of relief and gave a solemn bow.

“My apologies, Your Majesty the Void Dragon. I have something important that requires your help. Please come with me.”

“Got it.”

Rhode stood to his feet instantly without asking what exactly happened. He reckoned that it was definitely something related to the earthquakes. It wasn’t surprising that Rhode had such thoughts. No matter what, under the dragon soul protection, an earthquake could be considered a coincidence in a hundred years. But two earthquakes in a row just didn’t seem anywhere close to being a coincidence. Besides, it seemed like the earthquakes were also closely related to the Dark Dragon’s soul. If not, these supervisors wouldn’t be so nervous.

“Cassidy, come with me. Angelina, Anne, Bubble, Icy Snow, you girls stay here and continue to observe Erin. Inform me if anything comes up.”

“Got it, Leader.”

“Yes, Big Brother.”

Upon hearing Rhode’s order, Icy Snow and Bubble nodded swiftly. On the other hand, Cassidy seemed totally unwilling. But despite that, she was one of the deity wardens, after all. She knew it wasn’t time for her to throw tantrums, which was why she stood up docilely and followed him out of the room.

Under the dragon young lady’s lead, Rhode and Cassidy arrived at the enormous cave where they had rescued Erin and the Dark Dragon was imprisoned. But now, the Dark Dragon didn’t seem to be in a good condition. She was prostrated on the ground, twitching and gasping for air. Below her body, a huge, dark green magical ritual emanated a mysterious brilliance. The steel chains that punctured her body also trembled constantly as though they were alive. Not only that, but Rhode also witnessed dense, black aura rolling above the steel chains!

The other dragon young lady standing in front of the Dark Dragon gnashed her teeth. She chanted a certain incantation and raised her arms high. Along with this action, pitch-black lightning bolts erupted from between her hands, striking the Dark Dragon. But Rhode discovered quickly that the lightning bolts didn’t hit the Dark Dragon. Because the instant they roared and flashed, a transparent barrier over the Dark Dragon flickered and stopped the attack. Not only that, but Rhode also realized that the barrier had become stronger and was even deflecting the black lightning bolts! Even though the dragon young lady gave her all, it seemed like it wasn’t enough.

Something is obviously wrong!

“What exactly is going on?”

Rhode asked, his heart sinking. At that moment, the dragon young lady who led him to this prison puckered her brows and answered anxiously.

“Chaos has invaded the Dark Dragon, Your Majesty the Void Dragon. We can’t stop it!”
