Tian stood behind them, his eyes flashing with a cold light, his voice still indifferent: "The resurgence of the dragon race is inevitable, we can only fight to the end."
The tranquility within Kassel College is merely a facade; a true crisis is gradually approaching.
The power of the dragons still lurks in the darkness, waiting for the moment the seal is broken. Tian, Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Lu Mingfei are destined to play crucial roles in this war.
Their fate is now inextricably linked to the power of the dragons.
Morning light streamed through the heavy curtains of Kassel College onto the stone pavement, making the peaceful campus appear exceptionally tranquil.
But this apparent tranquility could not conceal the undercurrents surging within the academy. Since the anomaly of the Dawnfire, an invisible tension had permeated the academy, especially among the senior students, who were participating in training more frequently, constantly preparing for possible battles.
Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Tian continued their seemingly peaceful daily lives, but each of them knew in their hearts that the next battle might be even more dangerous than the last.
"Recently, there seem to be many unusual phenomena in the sealed area of the academy, and the aura of the dragon race has also begun to appear in other places." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself as he walked on the lawn, his brows furrowed. He had only wanted to live a normal campus life, but the continuous crises at the academy made it impossible for him to truly relax.
Caesar walked beside him with a relaxed smile on his face, as if he didn't care about these crises at all. "It was expected that the seal would have problems. The academy has been operating for so many years, it should have faced such problems long ago."
“But these seals are malfunctioning more and more frequently. How long can we hold out?” Lu Mingfei was clearly puzzled by Caesar’s composure.
Chu Zihang walked ahead of them, his steps steady, his eyes always alert. He calmly replied, "The academy will respond. The resurgence of the dragon race is a long process, and we have time to prepare. But in any case, we must continuously improve ourselves to prepare for future battles."
"Tian, what do you think?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask, turning to look at Tian, who was following at the back. Since the last incident of the seal collapsing, Tian had become even more silent, as if he had already seen through the truth of the dragon race's resurgence.
Tian remained calm as ever. His golden eyes flickered slightly, but his tone remained indifferent: "The academy's sealing system will eventually collapse completely, and the power of the dragons is recovering in all aspects. We cannot avoid this war; the only thing we can do is prepare before they recover."
His tone was cold and resolute, as if the impending war was already a foregone conclusion.
Lu Mingfei sighed, his anxiety growing stronger. He didn't want to admit it, but he knew the heavens were right. No matter how powerful the academy's seal was, it couldn't suppress the dragon race's power forever.
A few days later, an urgent task was suddenly issued within the academy.
Although the disturbances of the Dawnfire have temporarily subsided, several other sealed points have begun to experience fluctuations of varying degrees. The academy's leadership immediately decided to dispatch teams to these sealed areas to investigate the cause of the seal collapse and to reinforce the defenses.
Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Tian were once again assembled as the core team. This time, their mission was to travel to the "Source of Water"—another sealed point. According to the academy's intelligence, the seal in this area had experienced violent energy fluctuations, indicating a high possibility of the dragons resurrecting.
In the mission briefing meeting room, the dean stood in front of the projector, looking at them with a serious expression.
"We have confirmed that the seal on the source of the water is nearing collapse. Your mission is to go to that area, investigate the source of the dragon's aura, and find the root cause of the seal's collapse. If necessary, use all means to reinforce the seal," the academy headmaster said slowly, his gaze lingering on the four of them for a moment, especially on Tian.
"The key to this mission still lies in Tian's Word of Power," the academy head continued. "Your ability can pinpoint the core of the dragon's power, and this is our only chance. If the seal completely collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Tian nodded slightly, a cold glint flashing in his golden eyes. "I will find the core power, but we must prepare for the worst. The resurgence of the dragon race is not accidental; we cannot rely solely on the seal."
Caesar shrugged slightly and smiled, "It seems this mission won't be easy again, but with Tian around, we still have a great chance of success."
Lu Mingfei's face paled, and a sense of unease welled up inside him. "It's the seal collapsing again. Why is it always us who have to go? Doesn't the academy have anyone else?"
"The academy sent us because our abilities are best suited to handle this situation," Chu Zihang said calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable composure. "Complaining is useless; prepare for battle."
On the day of the mission, the four-person team assembled and quickly headed to the "Source of Water" area.
This sealing point is located deep in a valley outside the academy, an ancient area once inhabited by dragons. Its abundant water resources and unique energy field made it the ideal location to seal the dragons' power. However, over time, the sealing power has gradually weakened, and the dragons' aura has once again permeated this land.
When they reached the valley, the sight before them filled everyone with a sense of oppression.
The river flowing through the entire valley had become murky, with eerie black ripples on its surface. A strange dampness permeated the air, as if the entire valley were shrouded by some invisible force. In the distance, the sealing stone tablet trembled slightly, its runes flashing with a dark red light, as if it might collapse at any moment.
"This place... feels even worse than Dawnfire." Lu Mingfei walked along, glancing around anxiously.
Caesar stood beside him, his gaze calm and sharp. "The dragon aura here is stronger, and the presence of water elements makes these forces even more difficult to suppress."
Chu Zihang drew his knife, his gaze fixed ahead. "We must act quickly."
Tian didn't say much, and walked straight to the sealing stone tablet. His golden eyes flashed with a cold light again as he began to analyze the surrounding energy fluctuations.
Suddenly, the sealing stone tablet trembled violently, and a strong blue light surged from the ground.
"The seal has collapsed!" Chu Zihang shouted, his blade flashing coldly as he quickly assumed a fighting stance. "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
As the blue light surged forth, a colossal dragon shadow suddenly appeared on the water's surface. It was the embodiment of the power of the water dragon race. The dragon shadow hovered above the river, its eyes burning with a cold light, and the moisture in the air instantly condensed into sharp water blades, rushing straight towards them.
"Here it comes!" Lu Mingfei shouted, nervously raising his weapon, his body trembling slightly from the immense pressure.
Without hesitation, Caesar raised his gun, the sound of which shattered the silence. "We have to find its weakness!"
Tian's golden eyes flashed even more intensely as he quickly locked onto the core of the dragon shadow.
"Word of Power: Butterfly of Instant Death!" With a whisper, the purplish-blue ghostly butterflies reappeared from the void. They danced lightly in the air, circling the dragon's shadow, gradually revealing the line of death that wrapped around it.
"Chu Zihang, hold it back!" Tian said coldly, his twin pistols, Death Wings, already aimed at Long Ying's weak point.
Without hesitation, Chu Zihang charged towards Long Ying, his blade slicing through the air, aimed directly at Long Ying's head. His movements were lightning fast, each strike carrying immense power, causing the water blades to shatter beneath his blade.
Caesar provided support from a distance, each bullet hitting the dragon shadow's illusory form with pinpoint accuracy, suppressing its movements.
But the dragon shadow was clearly not going to give in easily. It let out a deafening roar, and the river in the entire valley began to boil. Countless water blades surged from the surface of the water, heading straight for Tian and Chu Zihang.
"Quick! Find the core!" Lu Mingfei shouted. Although he was still terrified, he knew that time was running out.
The heavenly golden eyes locked onto the core of the dragon shadow, while purple-blue butterflies fluttered around it, and the lines of death were gradually appearing.
"The opportunity has come!"
Tian decisively pulled the trigger, two bullets slicing through the air and striking the core of the Dragon Shadow. At the same time, Chu Zihang's blade flashed like lightning, slashing fiercely towards the Dragon Shadow's head.
The dragon's shadow let out its final roar, and the entire ethereal body began to collapse rapidly. The blue energy ripples gradually dissipated, and the water surface returned to calm.
