An Unexpected Bonus!
The heavy bronze gate opened completely, drawn open by the golden Celestial Spirit magic.
The wild, untamed atmosphere of four hundred years ago seeped out through the crack in the door.
Before the people outside the door could even see the exact structure of the void inside, a brutal and tyrannical Roar exploded from the depths of the time tunnel.
Immediately afterwards, a massive dragon claw covered in dark brown spikes slammed heavily against the edge of the bronze frame of the Eclipse Gate.
As the chaotic air currents swept through, a colossal brown rock dragon, over sixty meters long and covered in thick bone armor, eagerly poked half of its massive body out from inside the light curtain.
This unfortunate ancient behemoth had clearly been waiting in line behind the door for a very long time. As soon as it saw the light and the modern buildings, its huge dragon snout immediately opened, and murky saliva was even dripping between its sharp teeth.
In the brown rock dragon's simple understanding, the area outside the door was a fertile plain where the dragon could eat as it pleased, filled with soft food.
"Roar! Fresh humans, all of you, give them to me..."
The arrogant and brutal declaration was only half-uttered.
Jiang Bai, standing at the bottom of the stone steps, raised an eyebrow slightly.
Without uttering a single superfluous word, Jiang Bai pulled his right hand out of his coat pocket and clenched it tightly, his five fingers pointing at the massive dragon head in the center of the door frame.
The immense, tangible Psychokinesis, as vast as a collapsing mountain, instantly transformed into an invisible giant pincer.
Click!
A crisp, ear-piercing sound of bones cracking and shattering rang out, and the head twisted instantly.
The dragon's magical power, which had been raging and churning, dissipated and extinguished in an instant.
Before it could even utter a further groan, its massive body, which had just stepped halfway out of the doorway, collapsed instantly, its eyes bulging out and completely losing all its luster.
He died on the spot.
Meanwhile, deep within the four-hundred-year-old time tunnel on the other side of the Eclipse Gate.
The other four or five ancient dragons, who were originally in the back and were craning their necks to try and break through the gate, clearly witnessed the entire process of their companion at the front having his head crushed out of thin air the moment he peeked out.
The previously Boil roar of the raging dragon behind the door vanished completely within a second.
All the dragons' massive bodies suddenly came to a halt.
His dark red vertical pupils were fixed on the young human outside the door who was calmly dusting off his right hand as he withdrew it.
Terrifying.
Even through the thick barrier of time and space, those ancient overlords could clearly feel the invincible aura emanating from Jiang Bai, aura that regarded all things as worthless.
There was no probing, no charging.
The dragons behind the door were so frightened that they frantically scrambled backward, their massive bodies rolling and crawling hundreds of meters backward, fearing that if they were even a step too slow, they would follow in the footsteps of the brown rock dragon.
The entire passageway of the Eclipse Gate was instantly emptied completely.
Jiang Bai gently hooked his right index finger.
The brown rock dragon's corpse, stuck right in the center of the door frame with its head severely deformed, was lifted into the air by Psychokinesis and slowly dragged out of the door before crashing into the pile of rubble in the underground open space.
Jiang Bai clapped his hands, looked down at the large dragon corpse at his feet, and spoke in a lighthearted tone.
"What great luck! An unexpected bonus has been delivered right to our door."
Including this unlucky fellow who walked right into our trap, we've now collected nine pureblood dragon corpses today, enough to keep the guild busy for quite some time.
Standing at the rear, the Hellfire Dragon Atlas Flame witnessed this scene firsthand, and its massive body couldn't help but shudder once more.
This is a steal!
Without even setting up a magic circle, they crushed a robust member of their race flat through the door.
Atlas Flame scratched restlessly on the stone slab twice, then opened its mouth impatiently.
"Alright! Now that the door is fully open, I'll take my leave!"
Atlas Flame didn't want to linger for even a second longer in this hell on earth where he could be crushed at any moment.
The enormous dragon wings rose violently, and its massive fiery body strode towards the light barrier.
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Bai's calm voice suddenly rang out in the center of the open space.
Atlas Flame's outstretched forepaws froze in mid-air, its massive neck stiffly turning back, its eyes filled with tension.
"Is there anything else? Human powerhouse, I acted exactly as agreed, without the slightest breach of contract!"
Jiang Bai did not answer Atlas Flame's question, but simply raised his right hand and lightly swiped it in the air in front of him.
The laws of space instantly took effect.
A dark, deep, circular wormhole appeared out of thin air.
Jiang Bai inserted his entire right arm into the wormhole, then pulled it outwards with force.
Accompanied by a terrified scream like a pig being slaughtered, a figure shrouded in faint shadow magic was pulled out of the void rift by Jiang Bai like a chicken.
With a thud.
The man was thrown heavily to the ground, rolling twice, covered in dust and dirt.
It was the Future Rogue who attempted to use Shadow Magic to stealthily escape the capital.
At this moment, Future Rogue's face was filled with disbelief and despair. He braced himself on the rubble with both hands, his whole body trembling violently.
"How could this be... how could I have been caught?!"
"I clearly infiltrated the deepest layers of the shadows, traversing a full five kilometers of underground pipe network, how did you manage to locate me?!"
Jiang Bai looked down at the slumped Future Rogue on the ground and curled his lip.
"From the moment you started showing off with the nine-headed dragon in the central square, I already planted a spatial anchor on you."
"In front of me, as long as I don't want you to leave, even if you run off to another world, I can pull you back."
In the Future Rogue's face would turn ashen.
Originally Future Rogue still harbored the illusion that he could survive and wait for the storm to pass before trying to open other time-space nodes to regroup the dragon army and make a comeback.
Now that he's been caught red-handed, all his ambitions have completely vanished.
Jiang Bai turned his head and glanced at the Present Rogue standing next to him.
At this moment, the young Rogue of Sabertooth had his head down, biting his lower lip tightly, his expression extremely complicated.
The Future Rogue and the present Rogue are ultimately the same person.
Furthermore, in the Future Rogue had just used Dragon Control Magic to forcibly control Atlas Flame's mind, almost causing this overlord of hell to become a murderer.
Jiang Bai was too lazy to deal with this kind of time-space garbage himself.
Jiang Bai kicked, sending Future Rogue flying towards the feet of the Hellfire Dragon.
"This guy is yours."
