Chapter 215 – Divine War Part 2

Warm, viscous liquid poured down like a heavy rain, drenching my body instantly and staining the hem of my armor with a dark red color.

!!!

I tightly shut my eyes and mouth, caught off guard by the sudden blood rain. I hunched my shoulders and lowered my head, enduring the stench for a good two seconds before finally reacting.

Disgusting! I felt sick to my stomach!

Boom—

The wings on my back flapped violently like a tornado, creating a massive wave of blood around me. I no longer had time to look for Captain Gray. The moment the explosion sounded, my body shot out like a cannonball, streaking past the rock peak.

Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting…

I was about to explode in frustration. Suffocating emotions filled my heart. While flying at full speed, I released black smoke to envelop my body, blocking out the blood rain and wind. The smoke corroded away the blood on my body. Only when I finally flew out of the shadow cast by the fleshy mass did I feel a sense of relief, taking a deep breath.

“Huu…”

Then, my eyes glowed red for a moment as I turned in the air amidst the falling ashes. My wings spread out with a whoosh, and I hovered above the gray sky. I touched my face and hair, then looked down at my armor and tattered dress, confirming that the sticky blood had been evaporated by the dead smoke. Shaking my head in anger, I looked back towards the massive fleshy mass.

What’s happening…

What are they doing?

The huge fleshy mass floating in the air at the peak of the towering rock had shrunk to less than half its original size. Large blood sacs bulged on the surface of the mass, soon bursting and spraying dark brown blood like raindrops onto the mountaintop. In moments, the entire peak was stained with blood.

The terrifying sight made my scalp tingle, and I couldn’t help but shiver.

This doesn’t look good…

But wasn’t the blood already consumed by me? Why is the fleshy mass still changing? Is this a sign that it’s about to perish? Or… What should I do now…

Shifting my gaze from the disgusting mass, I bit my nails while thinking and flew down to land on one of the floating black rocks below. My eyes wandered aimlessly across the mountain range. The rumbling sensation was still ongoing, but it seemed to have weakened compared to before.

In my field of vision, some of the lower floating rocks were slowly descending back to the ground.

Is the collapse of this world…

Going to stop?

Thinking of this, I felt slightly relieved.

Is the Great White safe now…

Buzz—

Suddenly, I saw a halo of divine light bloom from a cluster of jagged rocks in the distance, hidden under the gray mist.

…It’s that dancer!

With a whoosh, I flapped my wings and leaped from the floating boulder, accelerating toward the source of the divine light. Two sonic booms echoed, and a spiral wave of air exploded in front of me, quickly dissipating. In the next moment, I arrived above the cluster of towering black rocks.

I see her!

The dancer in the red dress stood on one of the protruding rocks, surrounded by a swirling halo of light. Her silver hair danced in the ashes, while countless shadows hid in the thick fog beneath the rocks, surrounding her. Spears emitting purple light shot straight at her, and thorny vines broke through the earth, sneaking behind the rock to attack from an unseen angle.

Those fairies…

How many fairies are there here…

I hesitated, unsure whether to go down or not.

That damned heretic was being attacked by the fairies. She suffered damage from the dead smoke, and here she could barely use her inferno power, making it very difficult for her to handle the situation. A thick vine snaked from behind, and the dancer dodged the incoming purple spear but barely managed to avoid the vine’s attack. A large piece of her dress was torn, leaving her looking quite disheveled.

Heh.

I chuckled inwardly.

The scene was actually quite enjoyable.

If I weren’t in a foreign place and didn’t know what to do next, and if I didn’t have more questions for her, I would have loved to grab a bucket of popcorn, find a good spot with a clear view, and sit down to enjoy it slowly.

…Forget it.

I should go down and look for her first.

Flame wings spread open, howling winds swirling, the dark dead smoke entwined around me once again. I dived towards the rock where the dancer was standing, swatting away a spear shot at me and landing beside her with a “whoosh.”

“Hey.”

I called out to the dancer.

Sharp winds spread from beneath my feet, roaring outward, as ashes flew everywhere. The red dress of the dancer fluttered violently, clinging tightly to her body, outlining her curvaceous and almost perfect figure.

I pursed my lips, expressing disdain.

“I destroyed the blood beads. But that tumor, it’s growing blisters and bleeding. What’s going on?”

During this conversation, a bony, diseased wolf lunged from under the rock. It was smashed away by the dancer’s golden-fisted punch enveloped in light. She turned her head, looking pale with dark circles under her eyes, clearly appearing weak.

Is it because of the dead smoke’s erosion…

Just like Nero back then, she must be suffering…

“Where is your friend?”

The dancer asked calmly, showing no signs of pain on her face.

“Da Bai, it turned into a light dot and disappeared… It’s still alive, right?”

“Disappeared?”

The dancer frowned slightly.

It seemed that the white dragon turning into a light dot and disappearing was beyond her expectations.

My heart sank suddenly.

“What… What happened…”

Da Bai wouldn’t really…

Around us, wolves were howling, and in the fog, the faint shouts of spirits could be heard. The chaotic noises gradually faded in my ears. An arrow whizzed past, and I dodged it, feeling a buzzing in my head. Thinking about Da Bai possibly leaving me forever, I found it hard to breathe.

“This world is the hiding place of that white dragon. It can only disappear from elsewhere and return here. It cannot disappear here…” The dancer frowned deeply, her right hand forming a blade as she chopped through the incoming arrows with a “snap snap,” stepping back and continuing, “That white dragon is the key to unlocking the Dragon Realm. If it disappears, unless the goddess’s body completely destroys this place, none of us will ever be able to leave.”

“You mean…”

I was somewhat stunned, my thoughts in disarray.

“Your friend is definitely still alive. I’ve said before, this land is its body. As long as it isn’t destroyed, that dragon will be an eternal existence. And what you saw as the white dragon is merely a spiritual body endowed with sealing power by the ancient gods, maintaining the operation of this world. It shouldn’t disappear unless it loses its divine power…”

The dancer paused suddenly.

Then abruptly turned around: “Did that dragon give you something?”

…Ah.

Yes, there was indeed something…

“It’s a branch…” I said softly.

That branch…原来是 ancient gods’ sealing power…

Which means…

“…a branch of the White Tree.”

The dancer’s eyes showed a hint of shock: “The thousand-year-old White Tree, a source of vast divine power, did you get its branch from the white dragon?”

“Yes… but not exactly…”

“What do you mean?”

“That thing… entered my body and disappeared… I don’t understand either, what exactly is happening…”

“You obtained it.”

“Is that so…”

“Yes.” The dancer’s expression was solemn, her tone firm.

She took a deep breath: “Do you know what this means? By obtaining it, you’ve essentially obtained that white dragon. That branch is where the white dragon’s spirit resides. And by obtaining the white dragon’s spirit, in a sense, it means… this entire land… this whole world… is yours…”
