Chapter 538: Heart of the Dragon

Shura’s eyes were burning as he looked at Lei Luo. In his opinion, Lei Luo would be brought before the demon lord, and he would be summoned by the demon lord. From then on, he would rise to the top of the demon world.

Before anyone could recover from their shock, Liu Huo, who had flown over from afar, had already opened a hole on the body of the heavy ship. Following that, countless streams of light enveloped the entire sky. The clouds in the sky were shattered under the tremendous impact.

The commander on the ship clearly did not expect that there would be so many magic-guided artillery shells in the northern borderline. Moreover, most of them were Grade-6 to Grade-7 magic-guided artillery shells. No matter how strong the defense of the heavy ship was, it was impossible for it to survive in such a flood of flames.

In his opinion, the northern borderline was still as backward as it was thousands of years ago. Such magic-guided technology was something that was impossible in his opinion. However, such a thing had happened.

Without much thought, when the heavy ship was under attack, he grabbed the communicator and said to Asura, “Sir, the enemy’s attack is too fierce. Let’s go back!”

“No! Even if we die here today, we can’t let the target disappear before our eyes!”

Asura gritted his teeth and looked at Lei Luo. He knew that if he did not take Lei Luo with him today, he did not know if he would have the chance to find him in the future.

Lei Luo, who was on the ground, just stared blankly at everything in the sky. He was secretly speechless. It had to be said that sufficient profit was truly generous. The Level-6 fire-type spell, [ explosive shell ] , was considered a strategic resource in the empire. The Level-7 spell was strictly controlled.

The Black Dragon Army in front of him was obviously not so stupid as to wait for the magic missiles to wash the ground. Under Shura’s orders, the black heavy armor surrounded Lei Luo and attacked. Lei Luo’s hasty response caused his injuries to worsen again.

[ Analysis: there is a large amount of mana storage equipment on the leader of the enemy, The Heart of the Dragon. ]

[ It can replenish the magic power of the hand of God, and it can also feed itself. ]

“Who are you?”

Lei Luo stretched out his hand to block the magic ray from afar, but the sword on his left cut open his shoulder armor. However, he still asked the question he wanted to know the most. In his eyes, a voice of unknown origin was very dangerous, in the situation where he was not sure if it was an enemy or a friend.

[ You can think that I am another consciousness of Lady Athena and can answer the questions in the database for you. ]

Hearing Athena’s answer, Lei Luo was obviously relieved. Athena was the only existence he had seen in the Time of God. This could not be deceived.

Seeing that he could not take down Lei Luo, Shura could not wait any longer. He took out the heavy sword that was stuck in the ground and rushed at Lei Luo. The huge force of his feet blasted a big hole in the ground.

Seeing that Shura was charging at him, Lei Luo also raised the heavenly cloud. Since the other party had magic power, he would bring it over!

[ The Dragon’s heart is on the back of the heavy armor, the third bulge on the spine. ]

Hearing the exact location of the dragon’s heart, Lei Luo did not hesitate anymore. After blocking the heavy sword that fell from the sky, he rolled to the side of the Shura’s heavy armor. At the same time, [ infinity ] began to spin for the last time, pulling Lei Luo’s body up, and he shot to the back of the Shura.

He reached out his hand to touch the third spine and grabbed with force. A fresh red heart slowly followed Lei Luo’s hand out of the black heavy armor.

At this moment, Shura’s expression was ugly. He was no longer as calm as before as he listened to the prompt in the cabin.

“The Heavy Armor’s mana supply is insufficient. The Heavy Armor’s mana supply is insufficient.”

How could Shura not know what Lei Luo had done? However, what shocked Shura was how Lei Luo had found out about the heart of the dragon. Could it be that there was a spy in the Devil World?

There was no time to think. The most important thing now was to bring Lei Luo away. However, looking at the heavy ship in the sky, Shura seemed to have lost his soul. Had he still failed?

He opened the communication device and said to the commander of the heavy ship,

“Open the space crack.”

“But…”

“Don’t say anything. Since we are destined to stay here, let this person die with us.”

After saying that to the communication device with a ferocious expression, Moduo slumped in his seat. Sitting in front of Asura, Moduo lit a cigarette faintly and exhaled a puff of smoke. He said in a mournful tone, “This time, I really have to die here with you.”

Shura replied expressionlessly, “For the sake of the continuation of the demon world, no matter how many more people die, it’s not worth it.”

Lei Luo did not hear their conversation. He just retreated to the altar and held the dragon’s heart in his hand. Just as Lei Luo was about to start grabbing the magic power in the dragon’s heart, the heavy ship in the sky ignored the bombardment of the magic-guided cannonballs. The main cannon at the bow of the ship charged up energy towards the altar below.

In less than two seconds, a terrifyingly powerful energy tore open the space of the entire Sakamata Prefecture. The scenery before him shattered like glass. The cracks continued to spread, and in the end, only a huge hole was left. It attracted the people around it.

Even Lei Luo’s [ infinity ] did not work. A space crack even went straight through Lei Luo’s left arm, cutting off his entire left arm. Then, Lei Luo lost consciousness. He was taken to an unknown place by the spatial rift.

There were broken limbs and blood everywhere. The entire Sakamata Prefecture was covered in the aftermath of the spatial rift. There was not a single living person left. Fu Yun stood on a high mountain in the distance and looked at the eight-foot agarwood jade in his hand He made up his mind and ran into the distance.

…

[ detected sufficient mana reserves. Prepare to be teleported to the nearest teleportation point. ]

In the dark void, a bright light flashed and disappeared in the space crack between the demon world and the northern border.

After an unknown amount of time, Lei Luo opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. Although his head was still hurting badly, Lei Luo was more worried about his situation.

“You’re awake.”

An old voice sounded. Lei Luo looked towards the place where the voice came from. A hunchbacked figure was sitting in front of a desk with an oil lamp, reading a book. He was so old that he did not look like a human.

“Who are you?”

Lei Luo sat up in pain. He had changed into a luxurious gold silk robe. The sleeve on his left hand was empty. He looked around and saw a sea of books. All the books were placed around the bed, and he could not see the end.

“You don’t remember me so soon?”

As the old man stood up, Lei Luo looked at the old man’s face. He finally recognized who the old man was.

“Mr. Aristotle.”

Unlike what Lei Luo had seen in the magic ruins, the Aristotle he saw now no longer had the energy and spirit he had at that time. There was only death in his eyes, and he looked like he could fall at any time.

“We don’t have time to wait for you to grow. Time is still too short.”

Aristotle looked very disappointed, or rather, very desperate. He sat beside Lei Luo, looked into Lei Luo’s eyes, and slowly said, “This isn’t the first time we’ve met. Lei Luo, the founder of the sacred physique, the original magician.”

Listening to these strange words, Lei Luo didn’t answer, but he listened patiently.

“This is a very long story. It’s so long ago that I’m the only one left who founded the Magic Empire.”

“The first magic that people discovered was the original magic. It was an ordinary day. No one knew why there was a mysterious symbol in an underground tomb, and the person who discovered it was called Ellis Lei Luo. He was the discoverer and interpreter of this symbol.”
