Chapter 650: Chapter 261: Deep into the Dragon’s Nest, Word Spirit Magic
He once again became a black afterimage and charged forward.
But just then, a cold, clear voice suddenly rang out.
"That’s enough, Regner."
"Neither of us can afford the consequences of disturbing Lord Caesar’s rest."
A brilliant purple radiance flashed. As a Dragon Language Array flickered, Liliana’s figure quietly appeared.
She glanced at Lin Ye, then at the stiffly unmoving Belashen beside him. A flicker of understanding crossed her purple draconic eyes.
"So it’s the Puppetry Technique," she said flatly. "No wonder I couldn’t sense any life force."
Regner stopped and roared, displeased, "What are you doing here? Just leave this lowly human to me!"
"He managed to sneak in here without a sound and take control of the leader of the Shadow-Ink clan. Do you really think he’s just some ordinary human?"
Liliana shot him a look, as if staring at a simple-minded brute.
She shifted her gaze back to Lin Ye, her voice devoid of emotion.
"State your origins and purpose. I can grant you a dignified death."
As she spoke, the air around Lin Ye began to coalesce, like invisible, tenacious bonds.
Word Spirit: Wind Binding!
Lin Ye felt himself being bound and constricted by invisible currents. It was a good thing his attributes were so absurdly high.
For anyone else, this Binding Skill alone would have likely torn their flesh from their bones.
Lin Ye didn’t waste any more words.
’Since I’ve been discovered, there’s no point in pretending anymore.’
’Perfect timing... the reinforcements have arrived!’
RUMBLE—!!!
The entire Celestial Dragon’s Nest began to tremble violently without warning.
It was as if a behemoth that had slumbered for eons was awakening at the roots of the World Tree.
A piercing alarm blared, echoing from all directions!
On the distant horizon, the curtain of light separating the Celestial Dragon’s Nest from the outside world was violently torn asunder by an immense force from without.
Immediately after, endless black shadows poured into the nest like a burst dam, a raging flood that blotted out the sky as they swarmed inside.
It was... tens of thousands of Shadow-Stealing Wings!
Leading them was none other than Lektorn!
Bathed in the fanatical adulation of his kin, his roar, amplified by some unknown technology, became rolling Celestial Thunder that reached the ears of every high-ranking dragon in the nest.
"The Shadow-Ink clan, by order of the new king, has come to seize control of the Celestial Dragon’s Nest!"
"All who resist will be shown no mercy!"
A chorus of ten thousand dragons roared, their battle cries shaking the heavens.
Countless black shadows, like the sharpest of daggers, plunged without hesitation toward the high-ranking dragon patrols, who were still reeling in shock.
War erupted in an instant!
Flames shot into the sky!
Inside the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall, all the powerful dragons who had been feasting shot to their feet, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding outside.
’The watchdogs... are rebelling?!’
The color drained from Regner’s and Liliana’s faces at the same time.
They whipped around, their eyes fixed on Lin Ye.
"You did this?!"
Fury nearly erupted from Regner’s single eye.
Lin Ye chuckled. "I did. What about it?"
Before the words had even left his mouth, Regner’s fury was completely unleashed.
"You’re courting death!"
Blinding, magma-red light erupted from the seams of his black armor. He became like a walking volcano, a wave of brutal power washing over them.
[Frenzy]!
Having previously clashed with Regner, Lin Ye knew the dragon general was no weakling. He activated Frenzy without hesitation, doubling all his Attributes!
But he didn’t meet the attack head-on. With a flicker, his body melted into Regner’s own shadow.
"This trick again!"
Regner’s single eye filled with savagery. He violently slammed a fist into the ground!
His fist didn’t strike the hard jade floor but instead sank bizarrely into the shadows.
"Get the hell out!"
BOOM!
Sheer, unadulterated physical force actually managed to tear through dimensions!
Lin Ye felt the two-dimensional space he was hiding in tremble violently, as if the raw power would tear it apart from the inside.
But Lin Ye already knew Regner possessed this ability to punch through illusions and strike his true form. This time, boosted by Frenzy, his speed had skyrocketed.
He completed his shadow transfer just as Regner’s fist landed, reappearing in the shadow of the other dragon.
However, before he could steady himself, Liliana’s cold voice rang out.
"Word Spirit: Heavy Pressure."
HUM!
Lin Ye felt the air around him instantly turn as viscous as mercury. A terrifying, invisible gravity crushed him from all sides, making his bones groan under the unbearable load.
Lin Ye’s movements faltered.
But in the next instant, the immense pressure vanished without a trace.
Liliana’s expression changed.
’My Word Spirit... failed?’
She could never have imagined that when it came to manipulating gravity, the human before her was the true master.
BOOM!!
An invisible Gravity Field instantly expanded outward.
Liliana let out a muffled grunt.
She instantly dropped to her knees.
Even the monstrously strong Regner staggered under the effects of the Gravity Domain.
ROAR—!!
Two roars erupted from the dragons.
The next moment, Lin Ye saw Regner’s already burly frame swell as his muscles bulged.
The angrier he grew, the more terrifying his power became!
He actually managed to fight against the Gravity Domain and charge toward Lin Ye!
The iron fist, burning with fury and wreathed in a sonic boom, flew straight for his head!
Level 30 Energy Shield!
The next moment, a massive, hexagonal shield of black energy materialized before Lin Ye.
BAM—!!!
Fist met shield with a deafening crash!
Cracks spread across the energy shield.
But it held.
The next moment, Lin Ye’s figure blurred.
[Spatial Warp]!
