Chu Zihang's blade, imbued with the power of thunder, once again slashed towards the dragon's chest. Lightning flashed, and the blade precisely cleaved through several scales, but the dragon's defenses still did not completely collapse.

"Its defense is too tenacious!" Chu Zihang exclaimed, quickly retreating, cold sweat already beading on his forehead. Despite his composure, the enemy's strength forced him to be extra cautious.

The dragon's wings suddenly spread out, and a powerful gust of air rushed towards the four of them like a hurricane.

The intense wind pressure made Lu Mingfei almost lose his balance. His hands trembled slightly from the cold and tension, but he still tried his best to maintain the power of the Word of Power. The black dream energy flowed continuously from his hands, trying to restrict the dragon's movements within the abyss of the dream.

"My strength can't hold it back at all!" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, sweat mingling with the cold air on his forehead, feeling his strength rapidly depleting.

"It's alright, keep attacking!" Tian's voice was cold and firm. He fired his twin guns again, and bullets rained down on the dragon's flanks.

"Its defenses have a critical weakness—we must find its core!"

Caesar's smile held a hint of madness as he fired his dual pistols with unerring accuracy. "You guys keep disrupting its defenses, I'll find an opening."

"Mingfei!" Chu Zihang suddenly shouted, his eyes filled with urgency, "Your dream incantation can only suppress it temporarily. Try to block its movements. I need the perfect opportunity to attack!"

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, his heart pounding, and the dream vortex in his hand intensified. "Nidhogg's dream!"

The black aura instantly spread out, enveloping the dragon. Twisted black phantoms seemed to appear in the air, attempting to completely suppress the dragon's actions through the power of the dream.

The dragon's body trembled slightly under the power of the dream, the light of the runes was temporarily restricted by the dream's energy flow, and its movements were noticeably slowed down.

"Well done!" Tian said coldly, firing both guns at full power, his bullets still aimed at the dragon's head. "While it's held back by the dream, concentrate your attack on its core!"

Chu Zihang seized the opportunity instantly, his blade carrying the power of thunder as he slashed straight at the dragon's chest.

"Divine Retribution!" he roared, lightning flashing on the blade as a powerful current struck the dragon's rune core with pinpoint accuracy.

The dragon let out an angry roar, its body shuddered violently, and intense runic light flashed on its scales.

With this powerful burst of energy, the dragon's defenses strengthened once more, and the suppression of the dream-like energy began to gradually dissipate.

“Its core is about to be exposed, but it’s not enough!” Tian said coldly, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light. “It’s accumulating even more powerful energy, and we can’t let it have a chance to breathe.”

Caesar's gunfire continued unabated, bullets streaking across the gaps in the dragon's scales like meteors. His smile grew increasingly fanatical. "This guy's really tough, but you can't stop us!"

The dragon swung its claws down suddenly, slamming them into the ground with tremendous destructive force.

A powerful shockwave spread out instantly, shattering the surrounding rocks. Although Chu Zihang quickly dodged, he still felt the immense destructive force; the ground beneath his feet was almost pulverized by the dragon's power.

"Its power is growing stronger!" Lu Mingfei's voice was tinged with fear; his dream was nearing its limit. "We must end this as soon as possible!"

"Now!" Tian's eyes grew colder, his twin pistols aimed at the core of the runes on the dragon's chest. "Caesar, prepare for the final blow!"

"Understood!" Caesar laughed loudly, unleashing a barrage of bullets from both guns at full power, raining down on the dragon's rune core. "You're finished!"

Chu Zihang's blade, imbued with the power of thunder, once again slashed towards the dragon's chest.

"Divine Retribution!" With his deep shout, lightning erupted instantly, and the blade struck the dragon's rune core with pinpoint accuracy.

With a deafening explosion, the dragon's runic core was finally shattered.

Intense energy surged forth from its body, causing the entire valley to tremble violently under its impact. The dragon's body suddenly froze, and the crimson flames in its eyes quickly extinguished.

The dragon's massive body began to tremble violently, its scales cracking and bursting, and dark currents of energy surged from its body, as if its entire body was disintegrating.

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

"No, not yet." Tian's voice remained calm, his gaze fixed on the seal of the Dragon's Tear. "We must completely destroy the core of the seal."

As the dragon's body turned into countless purple ashes, the dragon aura permeating the air gradually dissipated, but the purple light of the seal point still flickered, as if it were making a final struggle.

“We must destroy this place completely,” Tian said in a low voice, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light. “The core of the seal is still active; we must destroy it completely.”

Chu Zihang nodded, and the blade, once again imbued with the power of thunder, slashed towards the core of the sealing point. Lightning flashed, and electricity exploded in the air as the blade instantly struck the core of the runes at the sealing point.

With a muffled explosion, the sealing core was completely destroyed, the purple light vanished instantly, and the entire valley fell into a brief silence.

The power of the dragons was finally completely sealed, and the crisis at the northern sealing point was resolved.

"It's really over now." Lu Mingfei slumped to the ground, almost completely exhausted. "Finally... it's over."

Caesar walked up to Lu Mingfei with a big laugh and patted him on the shoulder. "You did a pretty good job this time, Mingfei."

Chu Zihang silently sheathed his knife, his gaze cold and stern. "Although we have won, this war is not over yet."

Looking out at the distant horizon, Tian could still feel a sense of unease, even though they had destroyed the seal.

"The power of the dragons cannot be easily sealed away. We have only stopped one node; more crises are approaching." His voice was low and calm, as if he had foreseen the storm to come.

The four-person team stood still in the cold valley. Although the air of victory had not completely dissipated, they knew that even greater challenges awaited them ahead.

As night fell, the northern winds and snow continued to rage, but their battle was far from over.

The wind and snow intensified under the cover of night, seemingly to conceal the traces of the battle that had just ended in the valley. The dragon aura that permeated the air gradually dissipated, but the afterglow of the battle had not completely faded. The four-person team stood before the shattered remains of the sealed core, panting, but their eyes remained vigilant, as if ready to face any further threats at any moment.

Suddenly, a rapid mechanical voice came through the communicator: "Norma System Emergency Report—The southern sealing point is under attack. The academy's reinforcements are being urgently dispatched. Dragon forces have launched surprise attacks on multiple sealing points. Immediate support is needed!"

Tian frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his golden eyes. "It seems the Dragon Clan won't give us a chance to catch our breath easily."

Chu Zihang calmly sheathed his sword, his eyes flashing with determination. "We cannot stop; we must continue fighting."

"It feels like every time we solve a problem, an even worse situation immediately arises." Lu Mingfei sighed. Although he was extremely exhausted, he still forced himself to stand up, ready to face the next task.

Caesar chuckled and shook his head. Although his physical strength was also nearing its limit, that familiar contemptuous smile still lingered on his face. "This is our fate, Mingfei. Don't complain. Things have never been easy anyway."

The four quickly regrouped, preparing to return to the aircraft. However, just as they were heading towards the evacuation point, a faint cry came from the snow beside them, "Help...help..."

The four quickly went to their senses, their eyes scanning the source of the sound. In the snow, a young student in an academy uniform lay in a pool of blood. His arms were severely burned, and there was a deep wound on his chest from which blood was slowly flowing.

"Someone is injured!" Lu Mingfei shouted, quickly ran forward, and crouched down to check the situation.

Tian calmly observed his surroundings, and only after confirming that there were no lurking enemies did he walk to the injured student's side and carefully examine the young man. "He is a supporter sent by the academy. It seems that their squad was ambushed."

Caesar frowned, quickly checked the student's injuries, and found that he was close to unconsciousness. "He's badly injured and might not make it."

“No, no…” Lu Mingfei shook his head anxiously, “We can’t let him die here!”

The student weakly opened his eyes, saw Lu Mingfei, and his lips trembled slightly. "We...our team...were all wiped out...I...I'm the only survivor...They, they were too strong...the power of the dragons...we were powerless to resist..."
