Crimson Edge (V)

Finally, Keosius looked at Klein.

He had just had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if he were being watched by something. And now, he finally found the source of that feeling.

A mage who is said to be associated with the Tower of Time.

The Red Dragon stared at the mage dressed in a dark blue robe. He lowered his head slightly, and firelight flickered in his pale golden pupils.

"What are you doing?"

Klein's expression was one of utter terror; he had never encountered an enemy whose abilities, which he was so proud of, were completely ineffective.

"No, I can't wait any longer, I have to leave!"

His former Yun Danfengqing and confidence crumbled upon hearing that voice.

Klein raised his staff, silently chanted an incantation, and released the spell model he had been working on for a long time.

With the violent fluctuations of the Weave, the complex magic circuits instantly appeared in mid-air, causing the surrounding space to curl up in a regular pattern, eventually creating a circular portal in mid-air.

[The Fistandantilus's Teleportation]

"Roar--"

However, the next moment, the Red Dragon broke through the sky and appeared in front of Klein, its flames destroying the still unstable portal.

Did I give you permission to leave?

Keosius suddenly swung his claws, trying to grab the mage in the same way.

Just as the Red Dragon was about to touch Klein, violent spatial fluctuations surged from his body once again.

The spell was triggered almost instantly, teleporting Klein dozens of meters away and continuously creating spatial fluctuations, making him about to break free from the constraints of the Prime Material Plane.

That was the renowned Ninth Circle Spell—

The Elminster's Evasion

This is an improved Trigger Spell that can automatically teleport the mage to your preset location when one of the preset conditions occurs.

However, the Red Dragon exuded an almost tangible, overwhelming dragon aura, constantly interfering with the triggering of the teleportation spell.

This required Klein to be distracted to maintain the stability of the spell model.

"Roar!"

With a low growl, Keosius flapped his wings and instantly appeared in front of Klein, about to unleash an anti-magic ray.

Klein pulled a gold pocket watch from his pocket and gritted his teeth as he pressed the button.

"Bite."

Suddenly, the wind dissipated, the sand and gravel stood still in mid-air, and the rushing river stopped flowing.

Everything seemed to stand still before him, except for the Red Dragon, which continued to move slowly at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Time Stop

The principle behind this spell is not to stop time in the world, but to control the flow of time around oneself, making one's actions so fast that they consume almost no time.

"What a terrifying dragon."

Klein couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and put away the gold pocket watch.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, he dared not relax in the slightest, nor could he waste this precious time. Therefore, he immediately raised his staff and began chanting incantations.

The surrounding space distorted, and his figure became illusory.

Klein will travel through the Astral Plane duct to what he considers the safest place— the Outer Plane and a completely neutral negotiation Outlands.

On the Prime Material Plane, Keosius only saw Klein vanish from his sight in an instant, while the surrounding space still retained the fluctuations of magic.

"Time Stop?"

"Damn mage."

Red Dragon couldn't help but mutter to himself, his expression somewhat annoyed; he really disliked that feeling from just now.

So he closed his eyes, and the power of the Calamity Dragon Eye allowed him to see a part of the past and a part of the future that was about to happen.

Keosius couldn't understand the spatial coordinates of spells, but that didn't stop him from using the Calamity Dragon Eye to track them.

"I will catch you."

"How can I let a duck that's been delivered right to my mouth get away?"

Keosius used his will to distort reality, tearing through space in a simple and brutal way, and gave chase.

This is the Sorcerer's "Power of I Think So," which is not as meticulous and logically rigorous as the mage's, but it is simple and effective.

Astral Plane.

"Wow, what a terrifying dragon."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief beside the Astral Plane Color Pool, exclaiming again, secretly glad that he had escaped the clutches of the Red Dragon.

However, the surrounding space suddenly distorted in the next moment, and a dimensional rift burning with raging flames appeared, from which the Red Dragon's huge body suddenly emerged.

Keosius looked down at him, spreading his broad wings and letting his enormous shadow envelop him.

"Annoying monk, don't you know the most basic etiquette?"

"Who—gave you permission to leave without saying goodbye?"

Klein's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and large beads of sweat kept pouring down his forehead.

No, no

He suddenly collapsed to the ground, crawling backward on Limbs, looking utterly pathetic.

The legendary item, the Time Pocketwatch, had run out of uses, and all his methods were ineffective against the dragon.

Perhaps Klein's life was also about to end.

This mage from the Tower of Time never imagined that his life would end in a seemingly ordinary dragon-slaying quest in the remote the North. He had glimpsed his future countless times, but he never expected such a tragic end.

The Red Dragon drew closer step by step, but he was not in a hurry—because he was waiting for the appearance of certain beings.

Just as Klein closed his eyes in despair, a childish voice rang out.

"Your Majesty Keosius, I beg you to show mercy."

Red Dragon knew that the being he was waiting for had arrived.

An unfamiliar dragon strolled out of the void and appeared behind Klein.

The shimmering gray scales clung tightly to its graceful body, smooth and even without any undulations, while its horns were newly formed small pieces.

The most terrifying thing is that, judging from the proportions and development of this dragon, it is still a fledgling dragon, yet it has a super-large dragon body that is more than 20 meters long, which is unimaginable for any ordinary dragon.

"It really is the Time Dragon."

Keosius pronounced the name.

The Time Dragon, the most powerful legendary dragon species, is also the entity behind the important force, the Tower of Time.

These elegant dragons possess the power to manipulate the past, present, and future, and are the only truly immortal non-divine dragons.

In the previous storyline, the Tower of Time was also a mysterious and unpredictable entity. They drifted through the river of time and often secretly guided the development of history.

Even the players who know the most about it are only lower-level Time Mage and have no access to the secrets of the higher levels of the Tower of Time.

"You, you've come! Please save me! Let me get out of here!"

"I knew it! I knew the Tower of Time wouldn't forget me!"

Upon seeing the Time Dragon arrive, Klein as if he had grasped at his last straw.

He immediately cried for help.

However, the Time Whelp ignored the human mage's plea for help and instead nodded to the Red Dragon not far away, his posture quite respectful yet neither humble nor arrogant.

"We met again, or rather, I should say..."

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty Keosius."

"Talin.Akmonde sends his greetings and brings goodwill from the Tower of Time."
