Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 325: Dragon Slayer Odysseus

Snowman, the ascetic monk, turned around and looked at Odysseus with some surprise, facing the stone wall. "Do you know the great 'Sage'?"

Vice Admiral Iceberg on the side instantly recalled the information about the "Sage" that he and Odysseus had heard in the "Ruins of the War of Gods".

Klein frowned. It was the first time he heard of the existence of "Sage".

Odysseus smiled and said, "Is it strange that I know this?"

Snowman simply turned around, facing the fire, pointed at the man in the asymmetrical clothes and said, "He said he had heard of the 'sage' in some stories."

Then he looked at the young man who was sleeping: "He has never heard of the name of 'Sage'."

Edwina on the side continued to introduce: "This is Mobet Zoroaster of the Solomon Empire, a man who can take away other people's ideals and dreams."

"No need to be so tactful." Mobet said with a smile: "Hello, I am a 'Dream Thief'."

He seemed easy to talk to. "Let me introduce the remaining companion, Longzel. He said he was from Backlund, but the Backlund he mentioned is completely different from the Backlund I remember.

"Longzel, wake up, there are new companions."

The sleeping Longzel slowly woke up, opened his eyes and glanced at Odysseus and the others, finally settling on Klein: "A Loenese?"

Odysseus's clothing was basically a mixture of Intis and Loen styles, and only Klein's clothing had a distinct Loen style.

Klein said frankly, "Yes."

Longzel was clearly dazed, but quickly regained control of his expression. "Do you know the Edward family in Backlund?"

Klein replied, "There are many Edwards in Backlund."

Longzel asked anxiously: "The Edward family who live...at 18 De La Haile Street, Northwest District."

Klein shook his head and said, "There's no Northwest District anymore."

"There's no Northwest District anymore..." Longzel's voice gradually faded, and then he sighed: "I don't know how many years have passed outside, but it should have been many years..."

It was then that Odysseus said to Snowman, “I learned about the existence of the ‘Sage’ from some relics and from the mouths of the ancients, but I have never heard of this existence anywhere else.

"It is certain that many people knew about the 'Sage' in your time, but for some reason, in our time, no one knows of his existence anymore."

Snowman spoke hoarsely, "When the light of the 'Almighty Lord' shines on every piece of earth, the 'Sage' is the only god who can be compared with the Lord.

“It was the cooperation of these two gods that ushered in an era dominated by humans.

"Every ascetic, while believing in the 'Almighty Lord,' will also accept the teachings and inspiration of the 'Sage.'

"'Facing the Wall' is a form of practice advocated by the 'Sage'. We use it to combat the madness and distortion within the extraordinary."

Klein was somewhat surprised when he heard half of it: A deity as famous as the "Ancient Sun God"? So, "He" is also a being at a level "above the gods"?

Then he realized another thing was wrong: for most ordinary people today, few people know about the "Ancient Sun God". Even among the extraordinary people, few people know the difference between the "Ancient Sun God" and the "Eternal Blazing Sun".

But after all, some people knew about this powerful deity from the Third Epoch. But why didn't even the Beyonders know about the "Sage"? There wasn't even a vague description of him.

He glanced at Odysseus: No wonder "Mr. Gar" was so concerned, he must have noticed that something was wrong.

As they were talking about this, the whole cave suddenly shook, and the familiar crazy and violent aura descended rapidly!
Siatas, who was standing guard outside, shouted, "The 'King of the North' Yurisan is coming!"

Odysseus and the others were stunned for a moment, then rushed out immediately, just in time to see a huge figure falling from the sky and landing on a huge rock covered with a thick layer of ice nearby.

The wings covering the membrane did not fold up, but continued to spread out, almost blocking out the surrounding light.

Then everyone saw clearly the dreamlike armor plates condensed from ice crystals and the extremely crazy dark blue dragon eyes.

As everyone rushed out, the "King of the North" Jurisian opened his mouth and spewed out a twisted ice-blue flame towards the cave. Wherever it passed, everything condensed and rushed towards Odysseus and others like a wave.

Odysseus, who had already put on the magical item, immediately used the "Harvesting Gloves" to summon several huge fireballs, which exploded into an ice wave-like attack.

As several explosions sounded, the ice-blue wave partially vaporized, buying time for Klein and the others, and everyone took cover.

Odysseus did not dare to face the sharp edge of Yurisan. After releasing the fireball, he quickly jumped to the side to avoid it.

Without the obstruction of the fireball, the blue wave almost sealed the cave. If everyone had come out a little later, some of them might have been trapped in the cave.

After dodging in a panic, everyone's counterattack began.

First, Siatas bent her bow and drew her arrow in one go. An arrow flashing with lightning flew towards the "King of the North" with a sound of breaking through the air.

However, the dragon's scales were too thick, so the arrow had little effect.

Groselle raised his exaggerated sword and, protected by the light of dawn, charged towards the dragon.

Seeing the "King of the North" about to spread his wings and fly again, Longzel quickly extended his palm and said, "Flying is prohibited here!"

The "King of the North" flapped its wings, and it seemed as if it encountered huge resistance during its flight, and its wings were unable to make its huge body fly again.

The giant dragon Yurisan suddenly let out an angry roar, and the huge sound waves immediately penetrated Longzel's ears, causing him to shake involuntarily.

Jurisian flapped his wings that covered the sky again, lifting the snow and frost around him, and finally took off with difficulty.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Odysseus used the "flying spell" to fly to the side of Yurisian. He took out a scroll and said: "Misfortune!"

The scroll exploded, and in the next three seconds, Jurisian would become very unlucky, while Odysseus would become very lucky.

This scroll was designed by Odysseus through studying the demigod-level spiritual materials provided by the "School of Life".

Only then did Odysseus dare to rush forward and use his "harvest" ability, but the dragon Jurisian stretched out his huge wings to block him.

But its unfortunate thing was that its attention was drawn to Odysseus, and it ignored that Groselle had already rushed to the front.

Groselle swung his exaggerated giant sword, which was filled with the light of the morning sun, and cut Julian's wings. He was unable to lift them up, so he was unable to stop Odysseus who was rushing towards him.

The metal fist with the ability of "reaper" hit the dragon, and the "harvest" that ignored the defense smashed a dent in Jurisian's back.

The dragon roared and turned its head to bite Odysseus, but after Odysseus threw the punch, he immediately "flashed" away, just avoiding the dragon's attack.

In "Travel Notes", you cannot use the ability of "travel", but you can use "flash".

Julian's "bad luck" wasn't over yet, because he had just flown up, which gave Longzel the opportunity to "punish" him: "Those who violate the rules must be punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of this "Punishment Knight" suddenly rose taller, as if he was even taller than the "Frost Dragon" Jurisian.

His black straight sword thrust out, leaving a wound on the dragon's icy neck and spurting out a lot of dragon blood.

The continuous damage caused Yurisan to roar. He fell to the ground again and stomped his strong hind legs hard. A violent storm blew out from him and spread out in the surroundings.

Groselle, who was over four meters tall, was blown back repeatedly and almost fell down. Odysseus and Longzel, who had completed the "punishment", were blown away.

Even the arrows shot by Siatas were blown off their intended trajectory.

The ascetic Snowman opened his arms in the howling wind and said in ancient Hermetic language: "God says, invalid!"

As soon as the "Priest of Light" finished speaking, the violent blizzard suddenly subsided.

But at this moment, Jurisian's tail whipped out like a python. Groselle stabilized his body and slammed the giant sword into the snow. The light like the dawn descended and quickly condensed into a barrier, protecting himself and Longzel who were almost hit by the dragon's tail.

Jurisian turned his head and blew out ice-blue dragon breath, freezing Groselle and Longzel in the ice.

The "King of the North" was about to continue his attack, but suddenly froze, as if he had forgotten what he was going to do.

It turned out to be the "dream thief" Mobet, who took the opportunity to steal the dragon's next idea.

Odysseus, who was in mid-air, took this opportunity to throw out another scroll: "Arbitration!"

The scroll with black light exploded. The next three seconds entered the "Arbitration Hour". Odysseus' figure became very tall. He swung his black-gloved fist and shouted: "Death!"

Jurisian raised his head and roared angrily. The violent roar caused the surrounding spirits to fluctuate. At the same time, it was like a "violent appeal", greatly reducing the effect of the "Arbitration Scroll".

The blue eyes of the "King of the North" turned to Odysseus who was coming back towards him. The attack of "Death" could not be avoided, but it planned to freeze the approaching human and then bite him to death.

Odysseus hit the giant dragon Yurisan with a punch, but the effect of this round of attack was not as good as the previous one. It only stained a small piece of the dragon's ice-like scales with a layer of black.

The moment the attack ended, Odysseus was frozen into a block of ice.

But Jurisian did not bite for a long time because he found that his movements were sluggish and his thoughts seemed to slow down.

Klein finally found the right opportunity and temporarily controlled Jurisian's "Spirit Thread."

However, the opponent's struggle made it very difficult for Klein to control him.

The "Staff of Guth" in Odysseus's hand flashed with dazzling starlight, and the ice around him suddenly broke. Taking advantage of this gap, he threw a scroll into the mouth of the "King of the North".

His original plan was to throw the scroll into the dragon's mouth when it bit him.

With Klein's help, his actions became more relaxed.

Just as Jurisian's "spiritual thread" was about to break free, Odysseus tried hard to imagine that the next moment, the dragon's head turned into a piece of wood.

This piece of wood looks like it has just been cut down, it seems to still have some moisture, and the branches and leaves that stretch out are still green.

But the strange thing is that it grows on the neck of a giant dragon.

This is the "Imagination Scroll" designed by Odysseus using the fruit obtained from the huge tree in the "Ruins of the War of Gods".

In the next three seconds, the "King of the North" will follow Odysseus's "fantasy", his head will turn into wood and he will lose all ability to react.

Odysseus can also "imagine" that the "King of the North" is dead or injured, but if he "imagines" the other party's death, his attacks will have no effect on it. As time goes by, the effect of "imagination" will disappear, and Jurisian will eventually come back to life.

In fact, the giant dragon in front of everyone was also a "fantasy" created by "Groselle's Travels". Compared with "Travels", the level of Odysseus's scroll is still too low. If it is high enough, it can actually change the fantasy of "Travels" and make the dragon disappear directly.

When the others saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment, mainly because they rarely saw such a strange ability.

Odysseus raced against time, holding up his staff, the top of the staff shone brightly with stars, and a huge beam of light fell on the scales that had been dyed black by the "death" power just now.

Odysseus used all his strength, stirring and tearing the scales one by one, and finally broke through the dragon's defense, leaving a big hole in the dragon's body, revealing the icy skin and internal organs inside.

The other members also reacted. Groselle used the light of dawn to shatter the ice that froze him, and rushed to the "King of the North" again. With his exaggerated giant sword stained with the light of dawn, he chopped the ice-like scales into pieces, scattering them.

The attacks of Longzel and others also arrived one after another, and each person hit the dragon with at least two abilities.

After three seconds, the wood on Jurisian's neck turned into a head again. It seemed a little stunned, not understanding why it was covered in wounds in the blink of an eye.

Odysseus threw an "explosive scroll" into the huge wound created by the "light column" just now.

puff~
There was a muffled sound, as if the sound of the explosion was covered by layers of quilts, and a large amount of ice crystals immediately spurted out from the wound of the "King of the North". These were the shattered flesh and internal organs.

The dragon's roar sounded much weaker, and it was obvious that the previous attack had seriously injured it.

Odysseus was about to fly away to avoid Julian's counterattack.

He suddenly realized that Klein did not retreat, and looked at the dragon in front of him, his reaction was slow.

Odysseus roughly understood that Klein had just taken control of a part of the dragon's "spiritual thread" again.

So Odysseus turned back and threw several fireballs and a group of fire crows into the hole he had just made. Finally, he summoned layers of fire walls in the dragon's belly.

Suddenly, bursts of fire flashed across Yurisan's icy scales. The intense damage caused the dragon to break free from Klein's control of the "Spiritual Thread," and it stumbled, attempting to escape.

How could they let him go? They immediately chased after him.

The "King of the North" suddenly roared to the sky, and the surrounding frost was swept by the cold wind, causing a storm with extremely low visibility.

When the storm ended and the frost and snow fell to the ground, Odysseus and others had been frozen in ice crystals. This layer of ice crystals was different from the previous ice blocks, and Odysseus and others could not break them for a while with their abilities.

The "King of the North" was also frozen in the ice crystals, but its wounds began to heal rapidly inside the ice crystals.

Odysseus thought to himself: This ability is the dragon's last struggle.

As the injuries of the "Frost Dragon" Jurisian were healing rapidly, his size was also shrinking. It was obvious that this ability also brought a lot of burden to him.

The "Staff of Gus" in Odysseus's hand once again emitted brilliant starlight, and on the crystal ball at the top of the staff, "Gal Runes" arranged in a certain pattern appeared.

A blinding ray of light fell from the sky and shone on the ice crystals that trapped them. As the ice crystals reflected the light, Odysseus could not open his eyes at all. He could only try his best to maintain the pure white light and melt a gap in the ice crystals as quickly as possible.

After four or five seconds, the pure white light finally penetrated the ice crystal in front of Odysseus, leaving a small hole as thick as a finger.

The "Frost Dragon", which had shrunk to half its size at this time, witnessed all this and had no time to wait for complete recovery. It broke free from the shackles of the ice crystals and tried hard to fly into the sky.

Odysseus took a deep breath, and his body turned into a wisp of "star sand", which drilled out from the small hole as thick as a finger and condensed again above the ice crystal.

The others were still trying hard to break free from the ice crystals, but they hadn't been able to get out yet.

The extremely weak Jurisian did not linger in the fight, but flapped his wings vigorously and finally flew up.

Odysseus didn't have time to wait for the others. He took out a black scroll and threw it at Yurisian: "Gravity!"

This was the "gravity scroll" he had designed two days ago using the black crystal he had obtained from Whale Island. In an instant, Yurisan's weight increased more than ten times. He just flew up and fell to the ground again.

It struggled and roared desperately, but not only could it not fly, it couldn't even stand. Its two strong hind legs went limp and it fell to the ground with a thud.

Odysseus first used a "Scale Armor Scroll" on himself, took off his glasses and took a look at the "Frost Dragon", then he rushed towards Yurisan while injecting spirituality into the "Harvesting Fists", summoning layers of fire walls around the dragon.

The intense flames caused the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly, melting the surrounding ice and frost.

Although these flames could not cause much damage to the "King of the North", they made it very uncomfortable, as if the fire that had just appeared in its body was burning again, making it extremely anxious, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not get up.

The others who were still in the ice crystal were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Odysseus would rush towards the "King of the North" by himself and suppress the dragon alone.

Odysseus's actions were not reckless, because he had just used the "Eye of Prying Mysteries" to see that the "King of the North" was no longer as powerful as at the beginning, and was probably similar to a more powerful Sequence 5.

Odysseus, who has become proficient in using the "Staff of Gus", is confident that he can kill such a weak dragon.

At this time, the effect of the "Gravity Scroll" was almost over, and Jurisian was able to raise his head and spit dragon breath at Odysseus.

The reason why Odysseus rushed forward instead of using "Flash" was to attract the opponent's dragon breath. He just noticed that when the dragon launched a dragon breath attack, it would stop other extraordinary attacks.

After the dragon's breath, which was much weaker than before, was sprayed out, Odysseus immediately used the ability of "flash", came to the top of the dragon's head, and hit the dragon with the hand wearing the glove.

"Harvest!"

Yurisan's head was immediately knocked to the ground, and his dragon breath was interrupted.

Just like the previous attack, Harvest successfully caused a collapse on the dragon's head.

"Gal Runes" appeared again on the "Staff of Gus" in Odysseus's hand. The light of dawn suddenly appeared around Odysseus, and finally condensed into a sharp straight sword on the "Staff of Gus" in his hand.

As the dragon's head fell to the ground, Odysseus stabbed his straight sword into the collapsed part of the dragon's head.

The intense pain made the "King of the North" let out an angry roar, and the desire to survive made it break the "gravity shackles" and stand up suddenly.

He shook his head and threw Odysseus off his head.

Odysseus, who was flying in the air, thought to himself: This guy is too tough. He was stabbed in the head, but he can still stand up!
At this time, the Frost Dragon's tail whipped towards Odysseus. He dodged it with his "Flash" ability and then threw out a scroll: "Chaos!"

The "Scroll of Chaos" caused "confusion" in Jurisian's already injured brain. He wanted to escape, but his body was out of control. He took staggering steps and could never fly.

This time, Odysseus did not take the opportunity to get closer, but instead raised the "Staff of Gus", and "Gal Runes" emerged one by one in the starlight. The next second, a bolt of lightning fell and hit the wound on the head of the "King of the North" who had just been stabbed by him.

Julian's head suddenly dropped, and a puff of black smoke emerged.

But it actually raised its head again slowly. At this time, the effect of the "Chaos Scroll" was nearing its end. It flapped its wings and stabbed towards Odysseus with long ice crystal spears.

While Odysseus was dodging the ice crystal spear, the "King of the North" finally took off. Although it was seriously injured at this time, hiding in this country where ice and snow never melt, the nourishment of frost will make it better.

Just as it flew higher and higher, farther and farther away, the nightmarish human caught up again and threw out another scroll. The spell on this scroll was: "Art!"

Boom!
The last scene that the Frost Dragon Jurisian saw was a sea of blood.

Odysseus just used the "Blood Explosion Scroll", which was developed by studying the spiritual materials found on the black spider that was previously seized in the church of the "Ancient Sun God".

The explosion it produces is far less powerful than the "Explosive Scroll", but it can cause flesh and blood to explode, causing great trauma to the target.

If the "King of the North" is in his prime, this scroll will not cause much damage to him, or it can use its own ability to quickly turn his flesh and blood into ice crystals to prevent his flesh and blood from exploding on a large scale.

But now, the "Frost Dragon" has suffered severe blows one after another and is unable to react quickly.

Then the brain of the "King of the North" exploded, and a lot of blood and ice crystals spurted out from the wound, and its blue eyes turned blood red.

The "Frost Dragon" didn't even have time to let out a wail before it fell straight to the ground.

Odysseus, floating in the air, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and summed up his own strength in his heart: He is invincible below the level of demigod.

In addition, Odysseus examined his special scrolls and finally concluded that if he really encountered a demigod, these scrolls could buy him time to escape.

At this time, Klein and others also broke free from the ice crystals and chased after them. They witnessed the dragon's fall and saw the "Frost Dragon"'s body hit the ground, with light blue light bursting out of its body.

These lights moved and soon turned the huge dragon corpse into a thick double door covered with snow.

No reminder was needed; all the extraordinary people present knew that this was the gate to the outside world.

Groselle opened his mouth and laughed loudly: "We succeeded."

Tears welled up in the corners of Siatas' eyes, and she smiled with relief.

Mobet from the Solomon Empire whistled, as if he had put something on his mind.

Snowman made the sign of the cross on his chest and prayed softly: "Father of all things, great source..."

Young Longzel was already impatient to leave the door.

The female elf Siatas quickly adjusted herself: "We must get out as soon as possible. No one knows how long that door will last."

Everyone came back to their senses from their relief and emotion and were about to move forward when Odysseus said, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone was a little puzzled and looked at this powerful extraordinary person together.

Odysseus smiled and said, "I just want to ask, what are your plans after you get out?"

Siatas looked at the door and said, "We can discuss this issue after we get out."

The "dream thief" Mobet realized that Odysseus would not ask such a boring question at this time.

He was the first to answer: "I will go with Siatas to find the elven tribe first, and then see if I can find my people."

Snowman was the second to answer: "Even though you say that the 'Almighty and Omniscient Lord' has fallen, I will still build a church belonging to the Lord and continue to practice asceticism."

Odysseus smiled and nodded: "That's a very good plan."

Longzel said, "I want to return to Backlund to find my family."

Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Or rather, to find the descendants of my family."

Groselle said loudly, "I hope to return to the Giant King's Court and take another look."

As they talked about their plans, Odysseus walked past them and came to the double doors: "Everyone, the thing is, Longzel, who stayed in the book the shortest time, has disappeared from the outside world for more than a hundred years.

“Others have lived here for thousands of years.

"After you get out, the real world will correct your 'fantasy', so you will age rapidly and eventually die outside in the blink of an eye."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

The scroll that Odysseus used just now and the strength he demonstrated made everyone take his words seriously.

After a few seconds of silence, Edwina asked, "What should we do?"

Although she had only been in this team for a little over a day, she liked the atmosphere of this team very much, so she was also worried about the situation of Groselle and others.

"Please wait while I go out and think of a solution." Odysseus spread his hands and said, "Since people from different eras like us can appear in the same book at the same time, there must be a way to get you back to the real world.

"But this requires me to do some research."

Siatas asked somewhat worriedly, "What if this door never appears again?"

"I've already thought about this question." Odysseus said, "This book is related to the authority of 'Imagination', and I happen to have some spiritual materials at a higher level about this path.

"I'm confident that I can perform a certain ritual or make certain arrangements to summon this gate again."

Everyone fell silent again. They had been waiting for a very long time, waiting for the moment to go out, but suddenly they were told that they could not go out, which made it difficult for them to accept it for a while.

"Hahaha, I believe you, my friend." The giant Groselle was the first to speak. "I'm willing to wait here for you to come pick us up."

Odysseus was stunned by the other party's words "my friend". He had not originally planned to remind these people, because that way he could divide up their extraordinary characteristics after they got out.

But after the conversation in the cave just now, Odysseus felt that they were real people, and he felt pity for them. Finally, when he heard their plans, they felt like wanderers setting out on their journey home.

Only then did Odysseus decide to try to rescue them.

But the words "my friend" from the giant in front of him made Odysseus suddenly smile. He had forgotten when was the last time he was trusted for such no reason.

Even his subordinates did not trust him so much at the beginning. It was only after going through repeated tests that they established a trusting relationship with each other.

The same was true with Klein. This guy was very wary, and the two of them only established a relationship of mutual trust after going through many things together.

Odysseus promised: "I will take care of this matter. I won't keep you waiting too long."

Mobet raised his hand slightly and said, "I'll stay too."

Then he said to Siatas, "We've been waiting for so long, a few days won't make a difference."

Siatas took a deep breath and said, "Okay then."

Then Snowman also expressed his willingness to stay. Although Longzel was a little hesitant, he finally decided to stay.

So Odysseus and Klein pushed open the door, and the four "modern people" returned to Edwina's study from the "Travels". It was already evening outside.

When they turned back, they saw several people inside the door waiting anxiously, but Odysseus smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you news in the next few days."
