52 -32 The End
“Ah?!”
Alice Adar couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise.
A Superpower User used their powers to attack, moving themselves into the enemy’s shadow to stab with a short arrow as both initiated their ambush…
The battle was supposed to start this way.
However, when the dragon worshipper used his Manifestation afterward, the situation developed in an unforeseen direction.
Her short arrow stabbed at empty air, and the man in the trench coat and the Superpower User vanished simultaneously.
It was the enemy’s Impermanence Skill.
Alice quickly concluded that some mechanism she didn’t yet understand had taken the two men out of reality, and roughly judging from the name of the manifestation, it was likely an ability that initiated a mandatory duel.
“Ah…?”
The blue-haired woman blinked.
In just the blink of an eye, the dragon worshipper and the Superpower User reappeared before her.
Had their positions not changed, Alice might have thought she was hallucinating.
The man in the trench coat now laid face up on the ground, while an unscathed Gongsun Ce was propping himself up on his knees, catching his breath frantically.
Had the duel ended?
Had the Superpower User won?
She was confused by everything that had occurred in a flash.
Alice quickly approached the two men, asking alertly, “What happened?”
Broken limbs, ruptured internal organs, the pain that assaulted him from all parts of his body had all vanished.
His glasses were intact, perfectly positioned on his face, allowing him to see the man’s expression clearly.
“What happened?”
The young man, still catching his breath, didn’t wait to respond, addressing the dragon worshipper as soon as he regained the ability to speak, “Don’t make any moves.”
“…”
Xu Junyi lay on the ground, silent, not even blinking.
The Superpower User then said, “Just say one word, tell me what item or method you planned to use to summon the dragon.”
The middle-aged man’s voice was hoarse as he replied, “The eye of the Netherworld Dragon.”
“Is that the only one?”
“That’s the only one.”
“Where is it?”
“In my right hand.”
“Open your right hand, and then don’t make any more sound.”
Xu Junyi slowly opened his right hand.
He was unwilling to follow the enemy’s order, but having lost in the duel…
the power of the impermanent duel session firmly bound him, and for the rest of the day, he couldn’t resist the victor’s commands nor cause any problem to him.
In the dragon worshipper’s calloused palm lay a glass bead.
It clung to a wooden splinter, a fragment that appeared to be from some handicraft that had been smashed.
“…!”
On seeing the object, Gongsun Ce forgot to breathe.
He could never forget the significance of that glass bead, nor could he forget the day he first saw it.
The nightmare that never left since the incident three years ago, reappeared each time to remind him of what happened that day.
The seven bell towers amidst the gray fog, the wooden cuckoo jumping out of the clock face, which summoned the Netherworld Dragon…
From that moment, things truly became irreversible.
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo…
the sound of the cuckoo echoed in his mind, and past memories resurfaced.
Without needing any expert’s verification, he knew the identity of the object in his hand.
This was the eye of the wooden cuckoo from three years ago.
The eye of the Netherworld Dragon.
The young man gripped the glass bead tightly, the wooden splinters digging into his palm, the pain snapping him back to reality.
Gongsun Ce turned to the still puzzled Hunter and said, “It’s over, Miss Alice.
I’ve defeated the dragon worshipper, and I’ve found the crucial catalyst too.”
Alice looked from the fallen man to the Superpower User, doing so several times.
“—Really?!
You beat a Desolate Form Mage of the Manifestation Realm in one-on-one combat?!”
She then let out an incredulous exclamation.
The Superpower User adjusted his glasses, “His Impermanence Skill must be quite special.
The blessing-and-curse duel in the Mysterious Space forces a one-on-one close combat fight where neither can use supernatural abilities.
It was indeed a disadvantageous battle; it took a lot of effort to secure victory.”
“Without superpowers, you really are useless…”
“Rather, praise my exceptional cunning.
That fight was truly perilous, and if he hadn’t lost his senses midway, the scene here would be quite ugly.”
Think about it.
If he had lost in the duel just now, the loser compelled to follow commands would have become himself.
In that case, the scenario would shift to Gongsun Ce and Xu Junyi attacking Alice together.
That would be an awfully bad situation; lucky for him that he won.
The Hunter shook her head, still seeming confused about the current situation: “Let’s talk about this later, let’s address the urgent matter first, the medium you mentioned is…?!”
Before she could finish, the Hunter’s voice rose.
The Superpower User looked in the direction of her gaze.
A sphere floating in the center of this space was flashing green light at an astonishingly fast rate.
The shadows of the giant dragon continuously surged towards the sphere, merging as luminescent green dots into the ball, which resembled the heart of a giant dragon.
All the shadows disappeared, and the tubes around the sphere also detached from the core.
The planetary-like object moved further and further away from the two, colliding with the end of the space, consumed by the biotic-looking walls, disappearing from their sight.
The grand spectacle lasted less than five seconds, the Superpower User, and the Hunter had only managed to move forward a few steps before the green celestial body moved away from their sight.
