Another World: The Failed Magician

When did we first fall into this trap?

Starting with White's death?

No! That's not right!

That's not all!

White's death did indeed force all federal lawmakers to gather together to discuss countermeasures.

But the reason for planning this attack was...

Locac also has a major advantage: information asymmetry.

The Undertaker's paralysis rendered the Federation, or rather Carl, blind.

This is one of the reasons why the Silver Dragon Clan agreed to the plan.

As a result, his greatest reliance was a huge joke.

Every step was part of the other party's plan.

Compared to the pain in my chest.

Locas was more afraid of Karl.

Although he is now dead.

Bolton did not kill Locac immediately after piercing him with chains.

He found a chair, sat down, and quietly observed the passing of Burton's life.

"you!"

Before Loca could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through his chest.

Locas collapsed to the ground again.

Bolton sat in his chair like a victor.

"There's no way around it. If you die now, the rest of the time will be too boring for me."

Locac's eyes were filled with hatred, but he couldn't even manage the simplest thing: speaking.

"Oh, sorry! I forgot, you can't speak anymore."

Bolton's hand holding the chain trembled slightly.

The pressure and pain on Locas's body instantly lessened considerably.

"call."

Locac quickly took a deep breath.

"You might as well just kill me."

"That won't do. Your abilities are very useful. It would be such a waste to kill you like this."

"Humph!"

Locac snorted dismissively.

Bolton didn't care at all.

"By the way, do you want to know what those big lizards are plotting?"

Locac stared intently at Bolton.

"Don't look at me like that. I hate people who only say half of what they mean."

"Saint-Salos, do you remember this person?"

Saint Saros, Locas does indeed remember this person.

He was born into a noble family of mixed dragon and human blood in the empire.

But unlike other mixed-race individuals.

In most hybrid species, the portion of their bloodline belonging to the dragon is usually very thin.

Saint Saros is entirely of dragon blood, and can be considered a humanoid dragon.

He possessed remarkable strength from birth.

At the age of seven, he defeated Lu Xuan, who was then hailed as a genius magician.

From that time onward, Saint Saros was regarded as the hope of the Silver Dragon Empire.

But just when everyone thought a monstrous genius was about to emerge out of nowhere.

After accepting an invitation from the Silver Dragon Clan, Saint Saros suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Because the Silver Dragon Clan is involved, many people want to investigate his whereabouts but dare not take action.

Many people speculate that it was because his talent was too terrifying that it aroused the fear of the Silver Dragon Clan, and he was secretly eliminated.

Locac had investigated the matter privately, but Saint-Salos seemed to have vanished into thin air without a trace.

Locac eventually gave up on the investigation and concluded that Saint-Salos was probably already dead.

"Oh, so it seems you know this person. That will save me a lot of trouble. Saint Saros is not dead; the Silver Dragon Clan hid him."

"Why!"

"You're quite lucky. I only recently found out the reason myself."

"Saint Saros is so powerful because he is the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon. Everything the Silver Dragon did was to awaken the Ancestral Dragon."

"impossible!"

Locac immediately denied it.

It was because of the death of the Ancestral Dragon that the once powerful Ancestral Dragon Empire disintegrated.

At this moment, Bolton told him that the First Dragon had actually been reincarnated, which he found hard to accept.

"Then what do you think, besides matters related to the Ancestral Dragon, could possibly be something that would make the Silver Dragon Clan devote all its resources and spend so much time on?"

Locac's expression was somewhat complicated.

Clearly, he agreed with this statement based on what he just said.

"This is also why Tianfa ultimately chose to cooperate with the Loca Federation. If the Ancestral Dragon were to revive, humanity would completely lose its chance."

……

A crack suddenly appeared in mid-air of a quiet, enclosed room.

Will and the others fell to the ground from the crack, but fortunately the height was not very high and did not threaten their lives.

After Will got back to his feet, he immediately ran towards Carly.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm very lucky to be alive."

Carly had already put away the giant shield, and, feeling utterly weak and exhausted, sat down on the ground.

Only after confirming that Carly was not in any danger did Will begin to observe his surroundings.

The two were in a secluded cave, which was completely empty except for a deep ancient pool in the center.

The two bodies that served as puppets were now devoid of life, suggesting that the souls residing within them had detached from their bodies.

"What is this place?"

Carly asked, puzzled.

"I do not know either."

"This is the Silver Dragon Secret Realm."

A cold, clear voice suddenly rang out from behind the two of them.

"who!"

Will turned around abruptly after hearing the sound.

A stunningly beautiful girl with an expressionless face came into view.

That's not right.

I just confirmed that there was no one around, so how can I explain this girl?

"Who are you? And why are we here? I remember we were supposed to be snatched away by a giant dragon claw."

"We didn't arrest you; to be precise, we rescued you."

"Thank you. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Although the other party claimed to have saved him, Will felt that they would definitely not let him go easily.

"It's a pity, we'll need you guys later."

What if I insist on leaving?

"You can try."

After she finished speaking, a terrifying pressure emanated from the girl.

So strong!

Even at my peak, I probably couldn't beat him.

Will stood in front of Carly, but made no move to attack.

"Since you don't want to fight, then stay here quietly."

After the girl finished speaking, she ignored Will and the other man.

The girl stood by the ancient pool, as if waiting for something.

Will was considering whether to take this opportunity to escape, since the girl in front of him, although powerful, seemed rather dull.

Maybe we can take this opportunity to escape.

At that moment, five people dressed in silver robes walked in from the cave.

Will sensed danger emanating from all five of them.

All five of them are at the Martial King level.

The two people at the back had significantly weaker auras than the other three.

Moreover, Will felt that he had seen those two people somewhere before.

That's right! These two people were the ones who controlled the puppets before.

No wonder their auras were much weaker than the others.

The other party should be the eight guardians of the legendary Silver Dragon Clan.

It is rumored that each of the eight guardians of the Silver Dragon Clan possesses the strength of a peak Martial King.

Alright, now there's no hope of escaping at all.

The five men walked up behind the girl.

"Greetings, Chieftain."

All five spoke with utmost respect.

What?! This girl is actually the legendary patriarch of the Silver Dragon Clan.

Thankfully, I didn't make a move.

An elderly man, who was the leader of the five protectors, stepped forward.

"Chief, how is the situation at the Nether Spring?"

"It just forcibly tore through the void to save Loz and Kaven, so its recovery time will be extended."

The girl responded calmly.

How long will it take exactly?

The girl shook her head.

"How are the other three doing?"

The girl countered with a question.

The old man couldn't help but sigh.

"The three of them are in bad shape. Their souls have been severely damaged, and they have lost their fighting ability. Only time can help them recover."

"Is there no other way, Yunxi?"

The last protector of the group stepped forward.

"There's no way to help them. They've suffered trauma to their souls, and my healing magic can't reach that realm."

"How are the preparations going outside?"

"All available hybrids and wyverns have been assembled, but there's been no word from the Empire, and there's been no response from Locas."

"Hmph! I knew those humans couldn't be trusted."

One of the guardians suddenly made a comment.

The girl did not react to this behavior.

She continued to give the old man her instructions.

"I'll guard the Netherworld Spring area; you can take care of the outside. These two should still have some fighting ability; take them out."

Bad.

Will and his companion were reluctantly dragged out by the old man.

After everyone left, the cave returned to its original tranquility.

The girl stood by the Netherworld Spring, gazing tenderly at the deep, dark water.

An image of a boy appeared in her mind.

The scene of that conversation resurfaced in her mind.

"Fino, do you really want to become the clan leader?"

"I am the strongest, so I should be the clan leader."

"Wow, is it this primitive?"

"..."

"By the way, do you want to be the clan leader yourself?"

"I do not know."

"Okay, just as I thought, I knew you would answer like that."

"..."

The boy had grown accustomed to the girl's silence during conversations.

“Fino, I think you are not suitable to be the clan leader at all.”

Polier.

you are right.

I am simply not good enough to be the clan leader.
