He streaked through the air like a blur, his blade flashing like lightning as he pierced the monster's chest. The monster seemed to sense the threat, abruptly raising its massive claws in an attempt to block the fatal blow.

"Don't even think about stopping it!" Caesar shouted, unleashing a hail of bullets from both guns at full power, trying to stop the monster's claws from retaliating.

"Just a little bit more!" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and continued to use the incantation "Don't die" to suppress the monster's movements. The black aura tightly bound its body like chains.

"Now!" Tian suddenly pulled the trigger, the bullet hitting the monster's chest almost simultaneously with Chu Zihang's blade.

"boom!"

The blade and the bullet struck the monster's energy core simultaneously. The powerful impact instantly pierced its scales, and the immense force caused the monster's body to jolt violently, its agonizing roar filling the air. Its movements suddenly slowed, and its entire body began to tremble violently, as if the energy within it had completely spiraled out of control.

"It's done!" Chu Zihang said coldly, quickly retreating, his blade still covered in the black liquid flowing from the monster's body.

The monster let out a desperate roar, its eyes instantly dimmed, its scales gradually crumbled, and black energy surged from its chest like a vortex. The energy fluctuations in the air began to rapidly diminish, and the monster's body turned to dust before everyone's eyes, finally disappearing completely into the night.

"We won!" Lu Mingfei slumped to the ground, panting heavily, a relieved smile finally appearing on his face. "This guy is finally finished..."

Caesar chuckled as he stood up, gently patting his twin pistols. "Indeed, even the strongest enemy has weaknesses. As long as you find and seize the opportunity." He glanced at the sky, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "Good judgment, Sky."

Tian's expression remained calm as he gazed at the spot where the monster had vanished, a glint of light flashing in his golden eyes. "This was merely their last line of defense. Although the monster has been destroyed, the Hermes family's plan will not end here." His voice was deep and resolute. "We must continue to track their main force and completely destroy all the rune arrays."

Chu Zihang nodded in agreement. He wiped the blade, his gaze still cold. "The enemy has not been completely defeated. We have only disrupted part of their operation. Next, we need a faster and stronger counterattack."

“You’re all so calm.” Lu Mingfei sighed helplessly. Although he wanted to rest, he knew he didn’t have time. He looked around at the ruins, a faint smell of decay filling the air. “But why is the Hermes family so obsessed with these ancient powers? What is their ultimate goal?”

“Their goal is not just to revive the dragons,” Tian said coldly, his gaze still sharp. “The power of the dragons is just a tool; there may be a deeper conspiracy hidden behind them—perhaps some ancient and terrifying power.”

“This is getting more and more complicated.” Lu Mingfei shook his head, trying to understand these complex situations, but it was clearly not his forte.

"Whatever the enemy plans, we must stop them." Caesar shrugged slightly, reloaded his pistols, and looked confident. "No matter how many tricks they have up their sleeves, we will end them on the battlefield."

“Let’s go. We need to get back to the academy and give the intelligence here to Norma,” Tian said, his tone still calm and decisive. “The academy will formulate its next plan based on this intelligence.”

Chu Zihang stood aside, his gaze still cold and resolute. "This battle is far from over. We must remain vigilant at all times."

The team quickly regrouped and began their evacuation from the ruins.

Despite their recent victory, everyone knows that the threat posed by the Hermes family still lurks in the shadows. The battle against the dragon forces is far from over.

As night deepened, the lights of Kassel College flickered in the distance, foreshadowing new challenges to come.

Upon returning to Kassel College, the team quickly moved into the tactical command center.

After a series of battles, the Hermes family's activities have gradually been exposed, but the enemy's ultimate plan remains unclear. They know that the war is nearing its end, and the real decisive battle is about to begin. The atmosphere at the academy has become increasingly tense, with professors and the intelligence team working intensively to analyze the Hermes family's latest movements, trying to predict the enemy's next move.

"Norma, analyze all possible final enemy strongholds." Tian stood calmly at the command platform, a slight glint in his golden eyes. He knew the enemy's plot was nearing completion, and they had to quickly locate their main force and launch a final battle.

Norma's mechanical voice quickly sounded, and data information flashed on the screen: "Analysis in progress... According to the intelligence gathered, the remaining forces of the Hermes family are gathering in the southwest region. This region belongs to one of the ancient ruins of the dragon race, and it is speculated that their ultimate goal is to activate the 'Tears of the Dragon'."

"Dragon's Tears?" Lu Mingfei looked at the screen in confusion, his brows furrowed. "What is that?"

Chu Zihang's gaze was cold and his voice was deep and powerful, "The Dragon's Tear is a powerful rune found in the Dragon Clan's ruins. Legend has it that it possesses the power to revive the Dragon King. If the Hermes family successfully activates it, the entire world will be destroyed."

"So, the southwest region is their final battlefield?" Caesar raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone carrying a hint of cold anticipation. "Finally, the time has come to end all of this."

“That’s right.” Tian nodded in confirmation, his golden eyes flashing with a resolute light. “This is our last chance. We must get there before they successfully activate the Dragon’s Tear and completely destroy the rune array, or everything will be beyond repair.”

Norma's screen continued to flash data: "According to current intelligence, the enemy's core forces have been deployed in the southwestern mountains and are expected to complete the activation process of 'Dragon's Tears' within 72 hours. We recommend that all combat forces of the academy be mobilized immediately to proceed to that area for a final stand."

“72 hours…” Chu Zihang repeated in a low voice, his eyes revealing a cold determination, “We don’t have much time left.”

Caesar chuckled and shrugged. "Then this is our final battle. In that case, we should be at our best."

"This is the academy's final battle." Tian's tone was decisive and calm, a hint of fearlessness shining in his golden eyes. "Every decision must be precise, and there can be no mistakes."

"Norma, mobilize the entire school immediately." The dean's voice rang out as he entered the command center, his expression serious and authoritative. "This battle concerns not only Kassel College, but the future of the entire world. We must win this war, no matter the cost."

The professors nodded in agreement with the dean's decision. The atmosphere suddenly became even more tense, and everyone realized that the upcoming battle would be an unprecedentedly difficult task.

"Tian, ​​Chu Zihang, Caesar, Lu Mingfei, you will serve as the academy's vanguard, heading to the southwest region to destroy the enemy's core." The academy president's gaze was steady, his voice filled with authority. "You will lead the academy's elite warriors to strike at the enemy's most vital force."

Caesar revealed a confident smile. "This is the moment we've been waiting for." He looked up at the sky, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "This time, we will win."

Tian nodded slightly, a cold light flashing in his golden eyes. "We must win."

Chu Zihang calmly and decisively said, "The enemy will not let us get close to the rune array easily. Every detail of this operation must be done flawlessly."

"Norma, list all the enemy's potential defensive forces," Tian continued, knowing that the Hermes family would go all out in the final battle, and their defenses would be exceptionally strong.

Norma quickly responded, "According to known intelligence, the Hermes family has deployed a large number of runic defenses in the southwestern mountains, and has also introduced the remaining power of the dragon race as guardians. The enemy warriors will be based on the power of the dragon race and will have extremely strong combat capabilities. It is expected that the defense of the core area will be exceptionally tight."

“It seems we’re facing an even stronger enemy.” Lu Mingfei’s voice was filled with tension and anxiety, and his palms were slightly sweaty. “This doesn’t sound like good news.”

Caesar chuckled, his tone still carrying a hint of lighthearted banter, "Don't worry, Lu Mingfei. We're used to this kind of situation, and this time will be no exception."

"Don't let your guard down," Tian said coldly, his golden eyes gleaming with a chilling light. "The Hermes family's final line of defense won't be as easy to breach as in the previous battles. Every move must be precise; we have no room for error."

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Zihang offered a strategic suggestion: "We can divide into two forces. One force will be responsible for a frontal attack to draw the enemy's attention, while the other force, led by Tian, ​​will infiltrate and strike directly at the core of the rune array."

“This plan is feasible,” Tian nodded in agreement. “But we need a more detailed plan to ensure everything goes smoothly.”
