Chapter 1078 - Astral Telescope
Ion sauntered and along with his actions, the heavy, sealed door ahead opened on its own gradually. The enchanted fields of offensive magic spells enveloping the tunnel and used to ‘welcome’ uninvited guests were deactivated in the blink of an eye. Their magical radiance gradually dissipated. But to outsiders, this only seemed like an ordinary tunnel. If one wasn’t a spell caster, perhaps one wouldn’t detect the death traps set in this place. Gazing at the opening door, Ion knitted his brows and stole a glance out of the corner of his eye at the young lady behind him and continued advancing. The Dark Dragon was, in fact, deeply unhappy because apart from her greeting when she met him, she didn’t introduce herself and instead, immediately said, “I’m here in response to your invitation to accept the Astral Telescope…” He couldn’t continue the conversation to learn more about this mysterious person!
Ion thought he could use this opportunity to figure out the ins and outs of this young lady. But he didn’t expect her to pay no attention to diplomatic protocols as though she was just a receiver and her only motive was to receive the Astral Telescope. This left Ion deeply discontented, but even so, his expression remained unchanged and he led the young lady to the national treasury located underneath the Darkness Palace as agreed.
Apart from Ion, the three legendary generals were also present. They harbored the same doubt as Ion. According to diplomatic protocols, the visitor should report his or her name and identity upon arriving at foreign land. However, this young lady said nothing and apart from the powerful dragon form she showed up in, there was nothing sufficient to prove her identity. But for some unknown reason, Ion and the legendary generals didn’t question her. Apart from the undeniable dragon form which definitely belonged to a Creator Dragon, this young lady’s presence had as though announced her arrival by itself. Just like how the moon and stars were surely visible in the night sky, her existence itself was just there. Anyone who doubted the fact that ‘the moon and stars shouldn’t exist in the night sky’ was someone with some real mental issues…
Not only that, but what also astonished the legendary generals was that as of now, the young lady was caught in the middle between the Dark Dragon leading the way and the legendary generals at the back. It was impossible for one to be unaffected by their powerful aura. However, this young lady was simply indifferent. Judging from her relaxed expression, she seemed as though she was strolling in her home garden instead!
It seemed like what Erin warned was true. There were indeed several powerful beings in the Void Territory. Balende was sure that when he arrived at the Void Territory earlier, he didn’t witness this young lady anywhere. But even so, he almost failed to make it back alive. It was imaginable what would happen to him if the Void Territory went all out back then. Perhaps Balende’s name would be carved to a tombstone by now. It was surprising to him that a small Void Territory that was established less than one year ago managed to gather so many formidable beings. Besides, it also didn’t seem like they arrived at the Void Territory after its founding. Instead, they seemed to have already been following Rhode around before the Void Territory was founded.
At this thought, Balende couldn’t help but shift his gaze to Charlie and Garcia beside him. Charlie didn’t show any expression, but the pair of eyes that turned pitch-black due to his corruption glinted in curiosity like the flashes of a supernova. On the other hand, Garcia puckered his brows with a grim look. Upon realizing Balende’s gaze, Garcia shook his head slightly in response. It was apparent that Garcia thought of the same question in Balende’s head. After losing Ashvril, their status and position were starting to falter. At least in the face of this young lady, none of them were confident to escape unscathed. As for defeating her, they didn’t even dare to think about it.
In an instant, the atmosphere turned tense and bizarre, but the young lady continued to maintain her smile and gazed ahead. In fact, she was actually communicating spiritually with Rhode who drifted beside her.
“Honestly, wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t grab something else back since we actually have this chance to enter the national treasury?”
Relying on the fact that he wouldn’t be discovered by the Dark Dragon, Rhode boringly pointed two middle fingers at him and said.
“Let’s observe the situation first, Big Brother. I don’t know how much time has passed and what is left in the Country of Darkness. But if there is anything worthy, I’ll grab it for sure. After all, this Dark Dragon isn’t the first Dark Dragon anyway. If he were to see his precious treasures covered in dust, perhaps he would also be bewailed.”
But apparently, his younger sister didn’t hear his thoughts. She gestured and the coffin distorted abruptly, before vanishing into thin air completely. She nodded in satisfaction, turning around to gaze at the Dark Dragon and the three legendary generals with a smile.
“Alright, my job is done. I shall take my leave now.”
