But Tian's attacks were extremely precise; every bullet struck the weak points between the scales. Although they couldn't directly penetrate the defenses, they were enough to disrupt the dragon's movements.

"Keep suppressing it!" Chu Zihang's voice was urgent as his blade, imbued with the power of thunder, slashed towards the dragon's chest once more.

Lightning struck down like lightning, its blade precisely cleaving through several gaps in the dragon's scales. The dragon's body jolted violently, clearly feeling the pain.

"Effective!" Tian Leng shouted, firing his dual pistols again, the bullets aimed directly at the dragon's core.

Cracks began to appear in the dragon's defenses, and the runes on its scales gradually dimmed, clearly indicating that its energy was being depleted.

Its movements began to slow down, but its wings still protected its core, refusing to reveal any real weakness.

"Not enough, its defense is still very strong!" Chu Zihang gritted his teeth and slashed down again with the power of thunder, trying to further widen the crack.

Just then, the dragon's eyes suddenly lit up, the runes flashed, and its body began to accumulate even more intense energy, as if it were about to launch a final, fatal attack.

The oppressive atmosphere intensified instantly, and the entire battlefield became incredibly tense. The dragon's roar seemed to tear the earth apart.

"Damn it! It's about to launch its final attack!" Tian's eyes narrowed, and he quickly retreated while firing, trying to stop the dragon from gathering its power.

Chu Zihang's blade slashed at the dragon's chest again, but the dragon's wings suddenly closed, and the powerful rune defense once again firmly enveloped its core.

Purple light flashed wildly across its body, and the power of the runes almost covered the entire battlefield, with the energy fluctuations in the air so violent that they were suffocating.

"We can't let it complete this attack!" Chu Zihang shouted, his eyes filled with a cold determination. "We must break through its defenses!"

Tian's golden eyes flashed as he calmly analyzed the situation. "Its core has already shown cracks. We only need one precise attack to completely destroy it."

The dragon's body shuddered violently, and the entire battlefield trembled at its roar.

Its wings suddenly spread out, bringing a strong gust of air as it rushed towards Tian and Chu Zihang. Runes flashed wildly on its scales, as if it was about to unleash a world-destroying power.

"This is our last chance!" Tian Leng shouted, and his twin guns suddenly opened fire, the bullets aimed directly at the core crack of the dragon, attempting to completely destroy its runic defenses.

Chu Zihang suddenly leaped up, his blade carrying the power of thunder, slashing straight at the dragon's chest. "Divine Punishment!" he shouted, and lightning erupted instantly as his blade precisely struck the dragon's rune core.

Lightning flashed on the blade, and the dragon's runic defenses finally collapsed completely under this fierce attack.

With a piercing explosion, the dragon's rune core shattered instantly, and intense energy surged from its body, seemingly tearing the entire battlefield apart.

The dragon's body suddenly froze, and the flames in its eyes gradually died down. Its massive body began to tremble violently, its scales cracked, and the power of the runes rapidly dissipated into the air.

With a deep roar, the dragon's body finally collapsed, turning into countless purple ashes that dissipated in the wind.

"It's over." Chu Zihang gasped for breath, his hand gripping the knife trembling slightly, but his gaze remained cold and resolute.

“No, it’s not completely over yet,” Tian said coldly, the light in his golden eyes still sharp. “We still have to destroy the rune core.”

The two quickly walked to the center of the rune array, where the purple light still flickered faintly, as if it were making a final struggle.

"Destroy it completely with one strike," Tian said calmly, aiming his twin pistols at the core of the runic array.

Chu Zihang nodded, and the blade once again slashed down with the power of thunder, aiming directly at the core of the rune.

With a tremendous explosion, the core of the rune array was completely shattered, the purple light was instantly extinguished, and the entire valley fell into a brief silence.

The power of the dragons was finally completely sealed, and the entire valley fell into a brief silence.

The stench of decay in the air gradually dissipated, and the oppressive atmosphere eased. The runic array protected by the dragon finally stopped flickering, and the dragon race's resurgence plan was completely thwarted at this moment. However, the four-person team remained on edge, knowing that this victory was only temporary, and the dragon threat had not truly disappeared.

Tian stood before the shattered rune array, his golden eyes still flashing with a cold light as he quickly scanned his surroundings to confirm that there were no more enemies.

His gaze lingered on the valley for a moment, as if analyzing the next step. Although they had successfully destroyed the runic array, the dragons' power still lurked in many locations around the world.

"We succeeded." Chu Zihang sheathed his knife, his gaze still cold and stern. "But this battle is far from over."

“You’re right,” Tian Leng replied coldly, a resolute glint in his eyes. “We’ve only stopped one of the resurgence points; the seals in other places may have already been impacted.”

Caesar emerged from the ruins on the other side, a familiar smile playing on his lips. "Is it finally over? I thought this dragon guardian would be even more difficult to deal with."

Despite his usual nonchalant attitude, his eyes were filled with caution, as the intensity of the battle had exceeded their expectations.

Lu Mingfei followed closely behind Caesar, his expression revealing obvious exhaustion. "I'm really tired... but we did it."

Although he wanted to express his relief that he hadn't held anyone back, he was too exhausted to speak. His earlier words, "Don't die," had almost completely drained his strength.

"We need to return to the academy immediately," Tian quickly ordered, his gaze still sharp. "The Hermes family's revival plan isn't limited to one location. There are other nodes as well, and the dragons' power won't stop here."

“Yes.” Chu Zihang nodded. “We must act before the enemy.”

Caesar shrugged, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "These guys are really stubborn. But whatever they do next, we're prepared."

Lu Mingfei looked into the distance with a wry smile. "Are there other nodes?" His body was still trembling and his hands were numb, but he knew he couldn't stop. "It seems this war is much more complicated than we imagined."

A few hours later, the four-person team returned to Kassel College.

Although they successfully completed their mission, the atmosphere within the academy remained tense. The command center's screen displayed maps of multiple sealed points around the world, each exhibiting varying degrees of anomalies; flashing red dots indicated that more crises were approaching.

"The Dragon Clan's revival plan is more complicated than we imagined." The Dean stood in front of the screen, his brows furrowed, a deep worry in his eyes.

"Although you have successfully stopped the two seals in the west and south, disturbances still exist in other places. The Hermes family is acting very swiftly."

Tian, ​​Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Lu Mingfei stood in the command center, silently watching the red dot flashing on the screen.

They knew that the threat from the dragons was far from over, and more battles awaited them.

"The professors have confirmed the new nodes of the dragon resurgence." A professor quickly reported, pointing to several flashing dots on the screen. "The seals in these places have begun to show signs of loosening, especially the northern seal point, where the energy fluctuations are unusually strong."

"The North?" Tian's gaze turned slightly serious, and the light in his golden eyes turned cold. "That is one of the areas where the power of the Dragon Clan is concentrated. If the Dragon Clan were to fully recover in that area, the consequences would be unimaginable."

“That’s right.” The academy head nodded, his expression serious. “We’re running out of time. We must send more teams to the various sealing points to stop their plans.”

“Let’s set off again,” Chu Zihang said coldly, gripping the knife tightly in his hand. “We can’t let them have any chance to catch their breath.”

Caesar chuckled, though his face still held that flippant smile, his eyes were filled with determination. "Alright, another new mission has arrived. I won't miss out on this kind of good show."
