He used the Formation Painting Brush and special ink to draw a Five-Pointed Star Magic Array on the paper, then placed ten Bloodstones on its five outer points and five inner points.
Finally, he took out the "Heart of Red Dragon Nilcolon" and placed it in the center of the pentagram.
In an instant, the sulfur inside the lines of the Six-Pointed Star Magic Array caught fire.
The wind picked up, forming a whirlwind around the outside of the magic array, while the inside remained unaffected.
Luke turned the squares on the "Heart of Red Dragon Nilcolon." A sound like a dragon's roar seemed to echo faintly through the air.
The wind grew stronger, lifting sand into the air and sealing the magic array inside a Whirlwind Sand Wall.
After Luke turned the last square into the correct position, the wind abruptly stopped, and the sand that had been swept into the air fell.
Silence fell, as if every sound in the world had vanished.
In the air, the pressure of a higher being gradually intensified.
Luke quickly leaped out from the center of the magic array, then pulled several bottles of potions from his Spatial Backpack and downed them as fast as he could.
The fire inside the magic array burned more fiercely, forming a Fire Wall two meters high.
The pressure grew heavier and heavier, until even the air seemed to solidify.
The flames grew fiercer still, their tongues leaping higher and higher.
Three meters, four meters...
Luke took out the Ancient Rock Cleaver. The effects of the status potions he had drunk kicked in, and after receiving all the necessary materials and catalysts, the Elemental Fusion Reactor began operating at overcapacity.
A surging torrent of energy burst forth like an avalanche.
Just then, a genuine dragon's roar came from inside the Fire Wall, which had grown more than ten meters high.
A pair of red dragon wings stretched out through the Fire Wall.
"I, Red Dragon Nilcolon..."
Luke raised Clear Sky's level to 80.
Divine Blessing.
During the baptism, the Angel Battle Armor, manifested from holy energy, covered the right half of her body. Holy Flame first erupted along the cleaver, then condensed into a layer of golden light.
A thick dragon tail emerged from the Fire Wall.
"Answering the call of the contract, for the next ten minutes..."
Luke raised Clear Sky's level to 100, then cast status magic on himself.
Extraordinary Might! Swift Action! Unyielding Strength! Frenzy!
As a dragon's head appeared above the Fire Wall, Luke leaped high into the air.
Patterns appeared on her face, her eyes turned Ice Crystal Color, and her expression became intensely exhilarated. She raised the cleaver in her hands, gathering power as its blade aura extended more than three meters.
"I will fight for you and crush your enemies. Tell me your name, my contractee."
"Clear Sky!"
Luke shouted her own name. She had reached the peak of her leap and spotted the Red Dragon standing in the middle of the Fire Wall.
Then he raised Clear Sky's level to 120.
The blade aura surged, extending to ten meters.
The pressure of this world's pinnacle martial strength startled the Red Dragon, who had only just been summoned.
It raised its head to look at the Elf and sensed that it had been locked onto by a killing intent that made its whole body tremble.
Ice Mist Flowers bloomed across the beach. The seawater froze in place, preserving the shape of the waves, while the cold pressed against the Fire Wall in the magic array until it shrank into flickering flames.
Red Dragon Nilcolon turned its head toward the Elf in the air.
But its head was forcibly turned back.
Time Reversal!
Damn it, I shouldn't have been tempted by that pile of gemstones!
Luke swung the ten-meter light blade down at Red Dragon Nilcolon's neck, unleashing all his energy as he used Time Reversal to hold the dragon back.
Caught in the tug-of-war between time and the dragon's resistance, its head flickered like a lagging image.
The freezing cold snuffed out the last flame.
The light blade, clad in Solidified Holy Flame, struck the Red Dragon's neck.
The Red Dragon had only just been summoned and hadn't cast any status spells on itself. The brief Time Reversal halted all of its resistance.
It all happened too fast!
The light blade cut through the Dragon Scales on Nilcolon's neck and continued downward as easily as a knife through butter.
One clean strike severed the entire head.
Ice rapidly spread upward from the dragon's four claws, freezing its entire body before the headless corpse could fall.
Hardly any blood splattered.
Five seconds.
Luke landed and quickly lowered Clear Sky's level to 80. The head, as tall as a person, fell beside her.
The frozen head's eyes were still open.
Red Dragon Nilcolon probably never dreamed that this time, the summoning wasn't to drag it into a fight, but to take its life.
Having successfully slain a giant dragon, Luke immediately began processing the corpse.
First, he used an ice spell to make several large ice chests, then drew the Dragon Blood sealed inside the corpse and poured it into them.
Keeping it cold would give him more time to refine all that Dragon Blood.
Once he had drained the blood, he sealed the chests and stored them in his Spatial Backpack.
Then came the disassembly of the dragon corpse.
But Red Dragon Nilcolon's body was simply too enormous. It would take until dawn to process it piece by piece, so Luke divided the massive corpse into dozens of large chunks, froze them, and put them all into his Spatial Backpack.
The dragon was dead; it wasn't going anywhere. He could find a safe, deserted place and take his time processing it.
After storing the dragon corpse, Luke cleaned up the traces left by the summoning and left the beach.
Luke woke up in the detective chief's dormitory at the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
He checked the time.
3:35 a.m.
He didn't know how the fight at the Mad Axe Gang Headquarters was going, but since no one had knocked on his door with news, things were probably fine.
Luke activated the dormitory's Security System and opened the passage in the floor.
Then he walked down the stairs.
Before going to sleep, he had walked through this escape tunnel once. Now that he knew the way, he made his way through it much faster.
After walking about a kilometer, Luke reached a secret room.
Beyond the door at the other end of the room was a waterway. A small boat was secured by ropes to the wall above it. Taking the boat through the waterway would lead to the Lime River.
Luke stood beside the waterway.
After a while, a thick layer of ice formed over the water at remarkable speed. Clear Sky walked in across the ice.
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
Luke made his two bodies greet each other, then couldn't help laughing.
This was so damn ridiculous!
Dawn would break in a few hours. He'd better get down to business.
Clear Sky took the things she had bought out of her Spatial Backpack.
She lit candles and placed them along the corners of the walls, one every thirty centimeters.
Luke stood in the middle of the secret room while Clear Sky used the Formation Painting Brush to draw a magic array centered on him.
Then she arranged the mysterious items she had bought at different points in the magic array, following the sequence of the Secret Art Incantation.
The candle flames suddenly flared.
An oppressive atmosphere spread through the secret room.
Secret Arts were a method of activating and using the mysterious energy contained in mysterious items.
Unlike magical elements, mysterious energy was difficult to explain. It could come from the attachment of a soul, the bond of faith, the release of emotion, or the gathering of natural energy...
When such energy remained in an object, that object became a mysterious item.
