As each construct was destroyed, the surrounding Weave descended into extreme chaos, and the energy released by the disrupted order of the Eighth Circle Spell continuously impacted the surrounding environment.

The illusory limbs of dragons waved in the void, ferocious dragon heads emerged from the walls, and even dragon blood gushed from the ground, causing chaos all around.

But in the end, with mournful dragon roars, they managed to destroy the magic array together.

The chains that were tightly wrapped around the White Dragon dragon suddenly disappeared.

For the first time, the White Dragon's body, which had been bound for a hundred years, was completely freed.

Tinia fluttered her wings, feeling the long-lost sense of freedom in her body, and let out a long, heartfelt cry of joy.

"Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

Immediately afterwards, the freed White Dragon lowered its head toward Keosius.

As one of the Chromatic Dragon, the White Dragon naturally does not have the "gratitude" setting in its appearance. Instead, it is more out of respect and submission to its powerful kin.

Despite the White Dragon's escape, Keosius remained vigilant.

As he entered the top floor, he sensed a powerful magical force imprisoning the space—it was Dimensional Lock, capable of preventing all spatial teleportation spells. However, the Red Dragon had no intention of leaving immediately. He wanted to take advantage of this moment, when his enemy knew nothing about him, to catch him off guard and completely eliminate the "Dragon Mad Black Wizard."

Otherwise, having a Archmage lie in the shadows, gather intelligence, and make thorough preparations would definitely become an even more troublesome problem.

Sure enough, the [Calamity Dragon Eye] floating beside them reappeared.

At that time, a twisted, stitched monster with the face of Wagnerd appeared on the top floor.

"Get ready..."

"Wagnerd, he's coming."

"I can't help it Keosius said calmly.

Lang Pu and Tinia, who were standing nearby, immediately became alert.

Sure enough, the Dimensional Lock loosened slightly.

First, a White Dragon's limbs stretched out from the void, then attached to the head of an unknown monster, and then to a human body.

Finally, a terrifying monster tore through space and appeared before them.

This monster is enormous, nearly five meters tall, and its body is stitched together from all sorts of bizarre creatures, the main material being White Dragon.

But what's strange is that they're not in the places they should be. The White Dragon's wings appear on its legs, human hands are randomly pieced together on the skin, and a ferocious dragon head protrudes from what should be the chest.

With its twisted form, the monster exudes a terrifying aura of being detached from nature.

Wagnerd's upper body protruded from the top of the monster, still in its previous form, with flesh and blood sticking together at the waist, but his whole body was covered with white scales.

"Aww!"

Upon seeing this bizarre scene and the corpses and parts of her own kind, Tinia took a few steps back and instinctively hid behind Keosius, letting out trembling growls.

At this moment, the White Dragon's fear of Wagnerd outweighed her hatred. After a hundred years of torment, this was the first time she had felt such a deadly aura emanating from this human.

"My 'Sleeping Beauty,' you've actually escaped?"

Wagnerd's eyes showed a hint of surprise, which then turned into a sneer.

"But it doesn't matter, hehe, you can't escape the fate of being devoured by me."

He turned to look at Keosius, a strange smile on his face, "As for you, Keosius Klauberwu Norikesius."

"We've finally met in person."

"You're really rude, trespassing into my territory, destroying my original body, and stealing my experimental subject."

"However, your body will be the best compensation for me. I want to taste what it's like to be Tiamat's darling, hahahahaha!"

Wagnerd's loud laughter echoed within the tower, deafening and creating a terrifying and powerless effect; ordinary mortals might even be scared to death by this eerie sound wave.

Keosius did not answer, but remained silent, quickly using his Metamagic abilities to cast several protective spells in succession.

[Undying Reverse Scale], [Protection from Energy Damage], [Energy Scales]. Multiple shields and Star energy fragments appeared on his body. Combined with the effect of [Gilded Scales], his defensive capabilities were elevated to a terrifying level.

Ordinary attacks couldn't even penetrate his multiple shields, let alone reach his naturally resistant scales.

And the meticulously designed "Graceful Dragon" technique reached its peak at this moment, giving Keosius a terrifying speed of up to 30 points.

"Roar--"

With a roar, the Red Dragon tightened its wings and flew at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, turning into a red afterimage and even creating violent sonic booms within the tower.

Carrying dazzling lightning, the Red Dragon seized the opportunity and charged towards the monster's body like an arrow, spewing scorching flames from its mouth.

A black energy shield suddenly appeared on the surface of the stitched monster's body, but it was easily pierced by lightning and flames.

Several White Dragon attacked the Red Dragon with their claws, Dragon Wing, and tails. Each part of their bodies carried a strange black energy that could devour dragon blood and convert it for their own use, while also eroding the dragon's spirit.

However, with his Aerial Maneuvering, Keosius merely flapped his wings and spun around, leaving only afterimages in place, causing the limbs to miss their target.

The Red Dragon hovered above the monster's head, pouring out pillars of scorching fire from its mouth, attempting to destroy Wagnerd's body in one fell swoop.

[Maximized Flame Breath]

However, Wagnerd, a mage who had studied dragons for a century, was by no means unprepared.

His twisted limbs flared in the air, enveloped by an invisible ring carrying intense magical energy.

[Aura of Concealment]

The power of the spell caused his body to suddenly and strangely veer away, dodging the terrifying breath, leaving only a string of charred marks on his skin.

This is a spell specifically designed for dragons, granting the ability to Evasion their breath attacks.

However, the matter was not over yet. Wagnerd's last remaining human body gently stroked the dragon head in front of him, his entire body radiating a faint magical light.

[Greater Dragon Aversion]

Dragon Aversion is a renowned Seventh-Circle Spell that prevents dragons from detecting the object of contact.

But after a century of research, Wagnerd went even further, developing spells that could target dragons and prevent them from using any of their senses. It was with these spells that he hunted White Dragon on the ice plains, turning these genuine Five-Colored Dragon into his experimental subjects or even materials.

Keosius suddenly felt a void in front of him; Wagnerd had vanished without a trace. The Red Dragon's keen sight, sense of smell, and even instinctive intuition could not detect its presence.

He could only use the [Calamity Dragon Eye] to determine the location of the impending attack.

I still owe two chapters, I'm still working on it, let's see if I can finish them by midnight.
