Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 197 The Illusory Dragon Existing in the Spiritual World

The Great Sage looked on with deep agreement, realizing for the first time that what the Third Brother said made some sense.

Judging from all indications, Star Dragon, the leader of the Dark Abyss, is indeed a suspect.

And the suspicion is not just ordinary.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense; why would the Dark Abyss create a mechanism for stacking the twelve constellations?

As the top-ranked representative academy, they are fully capable of switching to other inherited powers.

Even within their Dark Tower, there are many different inherited powers.

Each level of the Holy Son has a different power system.

Their current Cerberus trinity system was able to participate in the faction representative battle only because they defeated the power of other systems.

The Dark Tower's elimination system is said to be modeled after the Dark Abyss.

Since the Abyss of No Darkness could send out the Twelve Constellations, it means that it had already made preparations to sacrifice the vast majority of the constellations to feed one person.

And this person is none other than the most capable team leader.

"The actual situation might be like this—"

The Great Sage explained it in detail to his two younger brothers.

After seeing through the phenomenon to the essence, the two of them suddenly realized the truth.

When they looked at Xinglong again, they couldn't help but feel a little more apprehensive and disdain.

The leader of this Dark Abyss may look respectable, but he's nothing but a hypocrite.

The Great Sage's explanation was not meant to be kept secret from others; almost everyone still alive on the fourth floor heard it.

Upon hearing this, Dark Raven and Black Owl felt that it was somewhat like a propaganda war waged by the enemy to deliberately undermine their own camp, but upon further reflection, something seemed amiss.

Now there's no one on the fourth floor—who are you trying to say these things to?

Who the hell cares about this at a time like this?

Therefore, no matter how bizarre it seemed, the two of them had their own judgment.

The plague shaman standing nearby had recovered somewhat by this time.

He was busy using healing magic to prolong his life and didn't care about such things at all, as long as they didn't involve him.

Ronan remained noncommittal, and he wasn't particularly concerned about the character of the leader of the Dark Abyss.

However, he had to turn his attention to the flash mouse.

At this moment, the flashing mouse had become a glittering balloon floating in the air, looking gorgeous and dazzling, but actually extremely dangerous.

Ronan had no doubt that the glittering balloon could instantly explode with the slightest external force.

The Dark Trio were aware of this, but they dared not take the initiative to try.

If the explosive power of this balloon is underestimated, the entire fourth floor may be affected.

Nobody wants to mess with such a ticking time bomb.

Except for Star Dragon.

Xinglong silently watched the Flash Mouse drifting towards him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He seemed to hear Flash Mouse calling him faintly: "Captain—Captain—"

Star Dragon maintained the form of the projected dragon and stood still for a long time.

As the flashing mouse drew closer and closer, and the invisible call grew clearer, Star Dragon still opened the mouth of the projected giant dragon in a daze.

"Everyone, come over here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xinglong swallowed the "Flash Balloon" Flash Mouse whole.

Everyone present was taken aback by this move and couldn't help but straighten up, wanting to see what Xinglong was planning to do.

The three Dark Ones were talking about something, and all that could be heard were words of praise such as "Just as I thought" and "The boss is brilliant."

Dark Raven and Black Owl involuntarily held their breath, their subconscious telling them that what was about to happen was bound to be an incredibly magical scene.

Ronan, however, had a vague sense of foreboding.

As is well known, in the factional battles of the first tier, the scoring method is not based on who is the fastest, but on the number of people who can reach the top, and points are calculated accordingly.

Given this rule that emphasizes the whole, why would the Abyss, as the top-ranked academy, send the Twelve Constellations, who sacrifice their members to gain power, to participate?

As things stand, only Star Dragon and Flash Mouse remain in the Dark Abyss.

After devouring the Flash Mouse, Star Dragon was now the only one left in the Dark Abyss.

The Dark Tower still has three Holy Sons. Although the Eternal Night Kingdom was completely destroyed, the Valley of the Dead, which was originally at the bottom, has risen against the trend and still has four people alive.

With this number of people continuing to climb the tower, there's no way the Dark Abyss can win first place.

unless----

Ronan was taken aback, realizing that the only way to win in the Dark Abyss was to kill everyone else.

Once you reach the top of the Dark Abyss without any competitors, you can immediately obtain the maximum points for the first tier.

From this perspective, it seems that the Dark Abyss never intended for the contestants from other academies to leave safely from the very beginning.

Come on!

Are there any good people left here?!

Ronan's preconceived notions about necromancers were reinforced once again.

With this in mind, Ronan disregarded everything else and focused all his attention on the incantation he was analyzing, striving to master it as quickly as possible.

The fact that the entrance from the fourth floor to the fifth floor has remained closed until now speaks volumes.

Clearly, even with the vortex at the top, certain conditions must be met to leave the fourth floor.

Ronan doesn't have time to play puzzle games here; if he's going to solve anything, he'll be analyzing the basic logic units of this Trial Tower.

It's like everyone here is obediently following the rules, and those who meet the requirements can move to the next level, but what Ronan is doing is trying to circumvent those rules.

His analysis is almost complete!

Just as Ronan was racing against time, Star Dragon had completely swallowed the Flash Mouse, the "Flash Balloon."

Logically speaking, his dragon is a projection, and it only materializes when attacking.

But for the Flash Mouse, the Projection Dragon seemed to materialize, swallowing it whole in one gulp, even with an effect of its neck swelling as it swallowed.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon's projection suddenly distorted, as if it were boiling.

The entire dragon's body began to show signs of molecular disintegration, and in its place, a large amount of golden light rapidly reconstructed the dragon's body.

The projection was gradually replaced by golden light, the whole process was silent and mysterious.

The second of the Dark Triads immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly warned, "Something's not right. He seems to be using the power levels of the superimposed constellations to materialize the projection."

"What do you mean?" The Third Prince was completely confused.

"Simply put, he is becoming a real dragon, a phantom dragon that only exists in the spiritual world."

"What are we waiting for? Let's get him!"

The three holy sons immediately manipulated their left hands, firing a red and black attack at the projected dragon that was being reconstructed.

"Don't act impulsively."

While the Great Sage said this, he actually held the ultimate decision-making power over the body.

He did not object to the Three Holy Sons' actions, but instead agreed to this rash attack.

"What do you mean, brother?" The Third Saint was somewhat confused by the First Saint's actions.

Does this mean they're allowed to fight or not?
