778 Revelation

Crack.

A bloodred bolt of lightning struck in the rolling clouds. It did not seem real but more like an illusion caused by the chaotic air, which was similar to many floors in the abyss.

The rolling clouds and the falling bloodred bolts of lightning didn't raise the attention of Ogre, the Elder Mind, the Demogorgon of Eyes, and the other legendary experts because the weather was normal in the Jungle of Demons. As a matter of fact, it would be unusual if such phenomena did not exist.

Suddenly, a bolt of enormous lightning glowed in the sky and spread out like a gigantic tree. Half of the demiplane was illuminated by the bloodred light.

Even though the magic tower had no windows on this level and only a few narrow ones on the upper level and the lower level, it was still illuminated into redness by the lightning.

BOOM!

After the lightning, it was naturally the deafening thunder, which was so terrifying that the whole magic tower was clattering as if it were trembling in fear. Even the legendary experts were somewhat stunned.

Right then, Danisos, the Dragon of Time and Luminosity, who had been squatting at the edge with his eyes half-closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Lucien's reflection was clearly displayed in the shaking invisible waves in it.

He then opened his mouth. The gray scales on his body somehow showed the air of passing time, and the twelve black circles on his body that looked like annual rings slowly revolved. He spewed out a mouthful of transparent dragon breath, which seemed both real and illusionary.

The time around Lucien was immediately slowed down. It was so thick that he seemed to have fallen from the sky into the ocean. None of the defenses seemed to be working before the breath of the primordial dragon of time.

Danisos had attacked Lucien without any hesitation!

A silver item glowed in the pocket of Lucien's waistcoat, cold and dreamy as it ticked nonstop.

The slowed "water" immediately resumed normalcy after the ticking, and the thickness was no more. It was exactly the passive effect of the Moon Timer after it was upgraded into a level-three legendary item—Real Vision!

After the Moon Timer was improved to a level-three legendary item, the maximal usage of "Advanced Time Stop" and "Gravity Collapse" had been increased to five times, significantly enhancing Lucien's control over time and space. Also, its anti-interference abilities against space-time effects had been transformed into an innate quality. Once space and time were controlled and had unnatural abnormalities, the Moon Timer would be automatically triggered, keeping the time and space in the zone around it relatively regular.

Danisos did not hope to restrain Lucien, who was an authority when it came to space and time, with only a breath. After the ticking broke the thickened time, the black circles on his body revolved even faster, and he began to chant dragon roars to perform his magic.

Supposedly, the short duration of the passive effect was not enough for a complete spell, not even extraordinary items were employed. However, the case was different for Danisos. He seemed to have been enshrouded in hastened time, or he might have "stolen" time from the future. He had indeed performed a mysterious and powerful spell in the dragon tongue!

Generally speaking, any legendary sorcerer or powerful magic creature could only speed up their cast but could not change the legendary spells, which had specific requirements, no matter how many acceleration abilities they enhanced themselves with. However, the Dragon of Time and Luminosity was not within the range of normal. His "Time Acceleration" could double the speed of his spell-casting!

It was the most terrible part of the primordial dragon of time. After all, no matter how many extraordinary abilities he had grasped to attack or affect other people, his opponents could deal with it as long as they were strong enough, but this "Time Acceleration" was influencing himself as well. During the same time, there would be two Danisoses that would attack Lucien at the same time!

The scales that constituted Danisos' black rings opened, and his hair stood erect. Spots of light emerged out of the void and gathered into an invisible, glistening river that surged toward Lucien.

At this moment, Lucien had just got rid of his breath!

The shadow of the river of time washed away the heavy defense around Lucien and constructed a cage of frozen time outside of Real Vision. It was impossible for those inside to get out, and it was impossible for those outside to break in. It appeared that he intended to imprison Lucien.

However, Dracula was thinking of something else!

When Danisos cast the dragon-tongued spell, he extended his right hand that was wearing a white glove and snatched into the void.

His right hand seemed to be enshrouded by the night. Layers of shadows blurred the real entity, and the cage-like frozen time did not seem to exist at all. Dracula's right hand passed through it and caught Lucien's chest!

It was "Night Travel", the vampires' natural endowed ability, which could break any space-time barriers!

The other vampires mostly performed "Night Travel" to run away, but different from them, Dracula had such amazing control over the ability that he could allow part of his body to travel. So, "Night Travel" became an attack method that could break most defenses!

In the meantime, Danisos, who was still in "Time Acceleration", began to cast the second dragon-tongued spell to offset Lucien's triggered spells.

The red lips on Dracula's pale face were particularly eye-catching. His eyes were filled with vague passion, as if he had been looking forward to avenging himself.

In his crimson pupils, Lucien, who was wearing the black double-breasted suit, seemed rather stunned, but it was quite normal. Whoever was not immune to space-time magic would have no time to take any reaction when faced with the serial attacks from Danisos and him.

Now that you have fed yourself to me, don't blame me for settling the scores!

Right when Danisos and Dracula went on a rampage and attacked Lucien, the six primordial dragons and the two vampire princes, who backed off a moment ago to prove their innocence, launched attacks toward the Demogorgon of Eyes, "Six-Armed Inquisitor" Cervantes, and the King of Nightmare. The gigantic bloodred lightning seemed to be their signal.

Although it was quite unexpected, the legends like the Demogorgon of Eyes had been through blood and death too. They realized what was going on immediately. Rays shot out randomly, and the six arms span like a tornado, mincing everything that they touched into pieces… They managed to resist the first round of attacks.

Stanis was covered in elemental halos. He did not find it too difficult to resist the attacks of Milereas, the primordial red dragon. Suddenly, the shadow below his feet and the shadow of the dilapidated walls were enlivened and gathered into a longsword that cut his body from the floor!

Crack.

Stanis' body was broken like glass, but a vague mist emerged from it and enshrouded the area, creating what appeared to be a dreamland.

"Ogre?" Stanis' voice echoed in every corner of the mist, fuzzy and obscure, like a mental communication in the wind, but he was apparently shocked. It was neither the primordial dragons nor the vampire princes who ambushed him just now, but Ogre, the Umbral King!

Ogre's body appeared in the dreamland of mist. He stood right next to Milereas and chuckled in the mental communication with a hoarse voice. "What about me? Do you still not see what is going on?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

A miserable roar suddenly burst out. Sterling, who had been suppressed by a primordial silver dragon, had one tentacle on his head. It was extended from the head of the Elder Mind and pierced into Sterling's brain!

Sterling's face suddenly lost all the organs, as if he had put on a mask. Then, his body also turned blurry. He got rid of the control of the Elder Mind.

"You're on their side too?!" Sterling wandered in the mist angrily. Had the "Mastermind" been conspiring with Danisos, Dracula, and Ogre?

"You killed Natravos? It was Danisos himself who buried the traces of time?" The Demogorgon of Eyes raised dozens of tentacles and shot out different rays, suppressing the two primordial dragons.

How could they have not seen the truth of the whole matter? This meeting had been a scam since the very beginning!

The inside information that Danisos and Dracula intended to unite the Dark Congress was leaked, but it was leaked at such perfect timing that the legends who were reluctant to accept it had to focus all their attention on it without considering anything else. Also, the time left was too little for them to sow discord among the members of the Dark Congress. Everything was obvious now. Dracula and his accomplices leaked it on purpose in order to distract everyone's attention from their real scheme!

Danisos and Dracula's arrogance and toughness were perhaps their nature, but they did help build up the tension at the meeting. The other legends were so focused on resisting them that they tried to seize every opportunity. So, the death of Natravos, the trap that they had prepared in advance, was offered at the most appropriate timing.

In the following discussion, some legendary experts might be worried. However, as "spies", Ogre and the Elder Mind misled everybody into thinking about how to sabotage Danisos and Dracula's plan of reorganization without considering if there were any other schemes. Also, they made the victims under the impression that the trip was not dangerous. Therefore, the victims fell into the trap one step after another.

This place, on the other hand, was Natravos' demiplane that was blocked from the outside world. It was the perfect place for a battle!

The whole plan was well devised based on the perfect control of the mind. It couldn't have been drafted by Danisos and Dracula as they were too arrogant. Was it the proposal of the "Mastermind", or was it the wisdom of the ancient legends like Fitia and Ogre?

"Ever since the beginning, we have never thought to include you. It's better to eliminate you in advance than to keep you, the cancer of our group. That way, you can still make contributions by increasing our strength!" Ogre's voice was coarse and cold.

Everybody could tell that the takeaway point of the sentence was in the latter half. It was because they believed that their strength that would be improved after the operation was enough to compensate for the lost legends that Danisos, Dracula, the Mastermind, and Ogre attacked blatantly.

Lucien's participation was an unexpected factor in the plan, who made their power less overwhelming than before. However, Danisos and his teammates still had absolute advantages. Other than Danisos and Dracula, who were dealing with Lucien, they had six primordial dragons, two vampire princes, one level-three legendary sorcerer, and one representative of the mysterious "Mastermind". They had ten top legends and three level-three ones.

On the other side, Sonite and Dubenal, the werewolf princes, were level-three legends, the Demogorgon of Eyes was level-three, and the Six-Armed Inquisitor, Sterling, and the King of Nightmare were level-two. Although the top experts were of similar levels, their number was almost half their enemy's!
