Chu Zihang stood by the runway, his gaze fixed coldly on the distant sky, silently contemplating the impending battle.

He gripped his knife tightly, knowing that this mission was not only to prevent the dragons' resurgence, but also for the future of the academy and the safety of his companions. Every moment of waiting seemed to strengthen his resolve.

"The plane is almost here," Caesar said casually, a confident smile playing on his lips, though his eyes still gleamed with anticipation. "Hopefully the flight won't be too long. I can't wait to see this so-called 'Shadow Abyss'."

Tian stood to the side, silently examining his twin pistols, his golden eyes revealing a hint of calm and sharpness.

He sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the "Abyss of Shadows"—it was not only the source of the dragons' power, but also a place where many unknown threats lurked. But it was precisely this unknown that made him even more focused.

Lu Mingfei tried to calm himself down. Although he was still a little anxious, he knew he had to keep up with his teammates.

"This is our last chance," he thought to himself. "I can't hold them back any longer." He lowered his head and gripped his weapon tightly, trying to draw courage from it.

As the roar of engines drew nearer, an all-black transport plane landed on the runway.

This aircraft was specially prepared by Kassel College for emergency missions. It is fast, has a high payload capacity, and is equipped with state-of-the-art defensive and countermeasures equipment. The side of the aircraft bears the college's emblem—a dragon burning with flames, symbolizing the college's determination to fight against dragons.

The cabin door slowly opened, and the academy staff had everything ready, waiting for the team to board.

"Ready," Chu Zihang said simply, taking the lead towards the plane with firm and unwavering steps.

Caesar followed behind him, still twirling the familiar gun in his hand, and joked casually, "Don't sit for too long this time, I don't want to fall asleep during the flight."

Tian followed silently and calmly. Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and quickly followed as well.

After boarding the plane, the cabin door closed quickly, and the four-person team took their seats.

The atmosphere inside the cockpit was unusually tense. The pilot confirmed the flight route and destination with them through the communication system, his voice tinged with tension. "We are about to fly to the 'Abyss of Shadows,' with an estimated flight time of two hours. The weather is good, but according to intelligence, the seal at the bottom of the abyss has begun to show abnormal fluctuations. Please be prepared to respond at any time."

The plane's engines roared again, and it took off. The academy outside the window gradually shrank, replaced by the vast sky and the impending battle.

"This two-hour flight may be our last chance to catch our breath," Chu Zihang said softly, his gaze still fixed on the distance. He knew that this flight might be their last moment of relaxation before the battle.

Tian looked up at the cabin and calmly replied, "Our enemy won't give us many opportunities to rest. Let's make the most of this time to adjust."

Caesar leaned back lazily in his chair, a smile playing on his lips, but his eyes remained sharp.

“Sigh, flying is so boring. I still prefer fighting on the ground.” He said, stretching his shoulders. “But to be honest, I’m quite interested in that ‘Shadow Abyss’—the Dragon King who controls darkness? I’d like to see just how powerful it is.”

Lu Mingfei sat quietly by the window, watching the sky gradually darken outside, still feeling a sense of tension.

"Dragon King..." he murmured to himself, the scenes of the previous battle flashing through his mind. He knew that this opponent would be even more terrifying than the Thunder King, but he had to rise to the challenge.

As the flight progressed, the plane gradually entered the upper atmosphere, and the scenery outside the window became monotonous and vast.

The atmosphere inside the plane remained tense. The four men remained silent, pondering the upcoming mission and battle.

“Once we arrive, we must quickly divide the tasks.” Chu Zihang broke the silence first. “Tian, ​​you are in charge of finding the rune core, and Lu Mingfei and Caesar will assist me in clearing the perimeter.”

"No problem," Tian replied calmly, having already planned his course of action in his mind.

Caesar snapped his fingers and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, this time I won't let any traitors get away."

Lu Mingfei nodded silently. Although he was still somewhat shaken, he knew he had to do his best to cooperate with his teammates.

"I will try my best to keep up with everyone," he said softly, a hint of determination gradually appearing in his eyes.

Two hours later, the sound of the plane's engines gradually subsided, and the pilot announced through the communication system that they were about to arrive at their destination—"Shadow Abyss".

The four-person team stood up, their equipment ready. A tense atmosphere of battle filled the air; everyone understood that after landing, a life-or-death struggle against the Dragon King awaited them.

The plane pierced through layers of dark clouds, and the "Abyss of Shadows" gradually came into view. It was a massive black rift, as if the earth itself had been torn apart, and an indescribable aura of darkness emanated from the abyss.

A dim light shimmered at the bottom of the crack, and ancient runes struggled weakly to maintain the seal.

"Prepare for landing," the pilot said in a low voice, a hint of tension in his tone. "Please be careful, everyone. The energy fluctuations ahead are very unstable."

As the plane began its slow descent, the four-man team assembled in front of the cabin door, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

The tension in the air grew stronger; they knew that this moment would determine the future of the academy.

"This time, we absolutely cannot fail." Chu Zihang took one last look at his teammates, his gaze resolute.

Tian silently inspected his weapons, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light. Caesar revealed a confident smile, while Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, preparing to face a powerful enemy he had never encountered before.

The hatch slowly opened, and a cold wind rushed in from the outside, carrying the aura of the dark abyss.

The four-person team stepped out of the hatch together, and what awaited them was the path leading to the "Shadow Abyss"—and the deep roar of the Dragon King.

The scenery along the way gradually became desolate, and the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending storm. Distant mountains were faintly visible, and dark fissures resembled wounds on the earth, radiating an indescribable sense of oppression. This was the "Abyss of Shadows," one of the sources of the dragons' power, and also their final battlefield on this journey.

As they approached their destination, the surrounding air grew increasingly cold, and electrical and energy fluctuations became faintly visible in the air.

The Abyss of Shadows is an ancient sealed site, sealing away the power of another dragon king—a dragon who wields the power of darkness and corruption, and who, according to legend, can devour light and reduce any creature that enters its domain to dust. Dragon runes and magic arrays have long since permeated this land, making it one of the most dangerous sealed areas for dragons.

Chu Zihang walked at the front of the group, gripping his knife tightly, the cold wind whistling in his ears.

His gaze was calm and focused; though danger lurked in the distance, his resolve never wavered. He bore the expectations of the academy and the responsibility of protecting his comrades. Every battle he fought ended with the utmost composure and decisiveness.

Tian followed closely behind Chu Zihang, his golden eyes flashing with a cold light.

“This Dragon King is even more difficult to deal with than the Thunder King.” Tian’s voice was deep and calm, his twin pistols ready to strike at any moment. “We must find the rune core quickly and not allow it to have a chance to unleash its Word of Power domain.”

Caesar's smile remained on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of battle fervor and anticipation.

"The Dark Domain? That sounds even more troublesome than the Thunder Domain." He said, gently gripping the gun in his hand. "But the more dangerous the opponent, the more spectacular the victory. Feel the power of the strong once again."

Lu Mingfei appeared even more nervous, but he still followed at the back of the group, trying his best to remain calm.

"Just how strong is this Dragon King..." he muttered to himself, still filled with unease. "I hope I won't hold you back again."

As the four-person team approached the "Shadow Abyss," they began to sense a strong dragon aura.

Ancient runes gradually appeared on the ground, their dim light guiding them toward the center of the seal. A putrid smell filled the air, as if the earth itself was being slowly eroded.

"We've arrived," Chu Zihang said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the crack ahead, which was the core area of ​​the seal. "Get ready, the enemy may have been waiting for us for a long time."
