"The power of the dragon race is rapidly recovering," Chu Zihang said in a low voice, gripping his knife tightly. "Although we defeated the Dragon King, its rune system is still functioning. How long the sealing system can hold out is unknown."

Caesar put away his gun, crossed his arms, and looked thoughtful.

“Indeed, although the Dragon King’s rune core has been destroyed, the power of the dragon race will not disappear so easily.” He chuckled lightly, his tone relaxed but his face showing no sign of relief. “We have temporarily gained a little breathing space, but even stronger enemies await us in the future.”

Lu Mingfei remained seated on the ground, his hands supporting him, his whole body trembling slightly.

His mind went blank; the battle had nearly driven him to a mental breakdown. Although he knew he had survived, he was still filled with fear and exhaustion deep inside.

"I almost lost my life this time..." Lu Mingfei gasped for breath, his voice weak. He could hardly bear to recall the battle scene just now; the image of the Dragon King's enormous body and the suffocating sense of oppression still lingered in his mind.

Tian stood at the edge of the crack, a thoughtful glint in his golden eyes.

He calmly gazed at the distant horizon, as if sensing the movement of the dragon's power. Although the battle was over, his senses told him that more threats were still approaching from afar.

"The dragon's aura hasn't completely disappeared." Tian's voice was cold and sharp, his gaze piercing through the night. "We've only temporarily interrupted their revival plan, but this isn't the end. Other sealing points are also collapsing, and we must act immediately."

Meanwhile, a tense atmosphere also descended upon Kassel College.

The professors have learned the outcome of the battle at the Rift of Heaven. Although the Dragon King has been temporarily defeated, the academy's defense system has not yet returned to a stable state. The energy fluctuations of the sealing stele remain unstable, and the collapse of other sealing points continues.

Inside the academy's control center, the professors anxiously discussed their next course of action.

"The seal on the Rift of Heaven is still unstable; this victory is only temporary." A professor said solemnly, his hands typing various data on the keyboard. "The energy fluctuations at other sealing points are also becoming increasingly intense; the dragon race's recovery is happening much faster than we expected."

The dean stood before the conference table, his expression stern, his gaze sweeping over the red alert on the screen.

"Although the Rift of Heaven has been preserved for the time being, the sealing system has begun to collapse. We can no longer rely on these ancient rune defense systems, as the power of the dragons has already infiltrated the system."

Another professor said anxiously, "We need a stronger defense; the sealing system alone is no longer enough to withstand the dragons' attack."

The academy dean nodded, his eyes filled with a heavy resolve. "I have notified all combat personnel in the academy. Next, we will be fully mobilized."

Chu Zihang, Tian, ​​Caesar, and Lu Mingfei returned to the academy after the battle. Although they were all exhausted, no one dared to let their guard down.

When they stepped into the academy's control center, all the professors and senior officials had already gathered there.

A tense atmosphere filled the air. All the screens displayed the energy fluctuations at each sealing point, and almost every sealing point was issuing alarms. The red dots, like flickering flames, foreshadowed the impending collapse.

"You have done a good job." The academy head's voice was deep and authoritative. His gaze swept over the four of them, with a hint of gratitude and heaviness. "You have successfully prevented the collapse of the Heavenly Rift, but the situation is more serious than we anticipated. The power of the dragons is reviving at multiple sealing points simultaneously, and we need you to continue to other key areas."

Chu Zihang nodded, his expression cold and resolute. "What is our next mission?"

The Dean took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes. "We will mobilize all the resources of Kassel College to seal every sealing point and completely destroy the Dragon Clan's resurgence plan. You will lead the college's elite forces to the two key sealing points, 'Valley of the Underworld' and 'Obsidian Gate.' We cannot allow any of the seals to collapse."

In the academy's tactical command center, the professors urgently formulated a new battle plan.

The status of each sealing point is being monitored in real time. Although the academy has strengthened its defenses, the energy fluctuations of the seals remain alarming. The professors are attempting to further reinforce the seals using the rune system, but time is running out.

“The Rift in the Sky is one of the keys to the Dragon Clan’s revival plan, but other seals are also collapsing at an accelerated rate,” a professor explained, pointing to several red dots on the screen. “We must stop the collapse of multiple seals at the same time, otherwise the power of the Dragon Clan will irreversibly enter the real world.”

Chu Zihang, Tian, ​​Caesar, and Lu Mingfei listened quietly to the academy's plan. They knew that this mission was far more dangerous than the previous ones.

With very limited time to prepare for battle, students and combat personnel at Kassel College quickly assembled, and everyone went into a state of high alert.

The academy's armory opened, and students collected their equipment and combat supplies. A tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air; everyone knew this was going to be a life-or-death battle.

The four-man team was also making final preparations. Caesar chuckled as he leaned against the wall, arms crossed, examining the weapons in the armory.

“Looks like we’ll have to work twice as hard. This time, the enemy isn’t just a dragon king.” He said, picking up a sniper rifle and smiling. “However, I’m still looking forward to these monsters giving us something new.”

Chu Zihang, meanwhile, was inspecting the blade of his sword, his eyes showing no sign of relaxation.

"The Dragon Clan's revival plan has entered its final stage, and we cannot afford any mistakes."

Lu Mingfei nervously checked his equipment. Although he was still apprehensive, he knew he had no choice.

"I hope I can come back alive this time..." he muttered to himself. Despite having experienced many battles, he still couldn't completely shake off his fear of the dragons' power.

Tian stood by the window, his gaze calm and profound, a cold light flashing in his golden eyes.

He could sense that the seal point in the distance was gradually collapsing, and the power of the dragons was approaching like a dark tide. The atmosphere in the air grew increasingly heavy, as if the entire academy was shrouded in the shadow of the dragons.

"The resurgence of the dragon race is irreversible; we can only end it with our own power," Tian said in a low voice, his tone cold and resolute.

As night fell, Kassel College's battle preparations were in full swing.

The four-person team sets off again, this time targeting the "Valley of the Underworld" and the "Obsidian Gate"—the collapse of these two sealed points will directly determine the course of the entire battle.

Inside Kassel College, the lights were on, and the discussions among the college's senior management remained tense and serious.

The academy dean stood in the command center, surrounded by professors and combat commanders, their expressions grave. The flashing red dots on the screens represented each of the seals on the verge of collapse, especially the "Valley of the Underworld" and the "Obsidian Gate"—the collapse of these two crucial seals would have devastating consequences. The power of the dragons was already stirring outside the academy; a meticulous plan was needed to prevent the disaster.

The Dragon system is the most important research area at Kassel College.

Dragons are not merely legendary colossal creatures; they are a powerful race descended to Earth from another dimension, possessing the ability to control the laws of nature. Dragons not only possess immense physical strength but can also manipulate "Words of Power"—a power driven by runic laws, similar to the Words of Power of human hybrids, but far more ancient and powerful.

Words of power are the core of the dragon race's strength.

Each individual dragon possesses their own unique Word of Power, a power capable of influencing the laws of reality, disrupting the natural order, and even controlling death and time. For example, the Dragon King's Word of Power can manipulate domains, alter the battle environment, and greatly enhance his power within those domains, making him difficult for hybrids to resist.

The professors at the academy have realized that the resurgence of the dragon race is not merely a return of power, but also an awakening of laws and domains.

If the dragons' Word of Power domain is fully unleashed, Kassel College will be powerless to stop them. One of the key points of this resurgence is the "Valley of the Underworld" and the "Obsidian Gate," which seal away two ancient dragon kings.
