Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

The tailless, dark silver dragon was instantly frozen, its massive body enveloped in layers of thick blue ice, while the phantom of the Despairing Winter Dragon coiled around it like chains.

Within the solid ice, large patches of black veins immediately grew, resembling blood vessels or some ancient, mysterious, and terrifying restriction.

However, all of this lasted for less than five breaths before Dago felt the power of the fused domain rapidly collapsing.

"Click-clack—"

Dense, narrow cracks appeared on the massive iceberg imprisoning the silver dragon, and moments later...

"Bang!"

The iceberg that had been sealed off burst open, releasing a torrent of icy air. Huge silver wings unfurled, parting the dust and mist, and a dragon's roar shook the void.

The powerful aftershock struck Dago, sending him flying as if he had been run over by dozens of crazed rhinoceros beasts. When he landed, his entire body was in pain.

"This power is truly terrifying."

Dago propped himself up and struggled to his feet. He gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, his blue eyes filled with emotion.

【Desperate Winter Dragon's Bite】is one of his top three trump cards. Even though it is weakened by the special environment of the Spirit Realm, its power is still enough to threaten a normal level four Dawn.

But in front of the dark silver tailless dragon, it was as fragile as paper.

A giant dragon.

Before this, Dago's understanding of this legendary creature was vague, but now it has become incredibly profound.

Throughout history, the domineering beings at the top of the food chain have an authority that cannot be challenged by ordinary people.

Not to mention, how much of the dragon's strength had been preserved over the long years? If it were at its peak, who knows how terrifying it would be.

"rustle--"

Some pebbles fell from the sky and landed at Dago's feet.

He looked up and saw a human-shaped stone statue covered in cracks.

It was the oldest and most decayed faceless humanoid stone statue in the entire stone statue square that he had hit earlier.

The stone statue seemed to have reached a critical point and began to show signs of collapse.

A suppressed dragon's roar echoed from afar, and at that moment, Dago felt a sense of shared sorrow with the faceless humanoid stone statue.

They were both starting to feel the strain.

"roar!"

With a violent roar, the enormous dark silver dragon shadow tore through the ice mist and pounced toward Dago with incredible speed.

The terrifying dragon's might rolled in like a tidal wave, making the air creak and the skin feel as if it were being pricked by countless needles.

Dago felt a chill run down his spine and could only continue running at full speed.

In the vast stone statue plaza, Dago desperately searched for a way to escape, but the dark silver tailless dragon relentlessly pursued him, its wings stirring up violent turbulence like a terrifying hurricane passing through.

During the escape, Dago would occasionally unleash a few of his favorite ice spells in an attempt to slow down the tailless dragon's pursuit.

His mind raced as he considered ways to break the deadlock.

The best solution would naturally be to leave immediately, but since Evaqui brought Dago into the Spirits Space, the only way to leave is through Evaqui's help.

However, Evaque is still undergoing trials within the Wolf Witch Chief's inheritance space, and it is unknown when the trials will end.

Is the route taken from the morning temporarily being removed?

Dago rejected the idea almost immediately.

Returning to the previous stone statue plaza required traversing a long staircase. On the plaza, he could still manage to maneuver with the help of the terrain and the dark silver dragon, but once the chase shifted to the narrow stone steps, he would have nowhere to escape. If he fell down the steps, he might be lost forever in the darkness and nothingness.

It seems that delaying is the only solution.

However, with ice magic weakened and Dago unable to unleash his strongest technique, [Miracle Black Hole], it seems that all he can rely on at this stage is the power of his physical body.

Engage in close combat with a legendary dragon?

Although Dago has always been quite confident in his physical body, he found it difficult to make a decision when faced with this choice.

Just then, a strange buzzing sound suddenly rang out in the square.

Dago immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

The soul disc of Evaque, which was hovering in front of the Wolf Witch Head statue, was now inverted, rotating counterclockwise.

Dago's heart sank.

The Soul Disc being reversed means that Evaque's first trial in the Inheritance Space has failed. According to the previous agreement, what he needs to do now is to adjust the Soul Disc to help Evaque get a second chance at the trial.

But Evaque never imagined that Dago was being hunted by a terrifying dragon and was in dire straits.

"Let Evaque fail, leave the inheritance space, and then escape from this place together?"

In an instant, Dago came up with the most correct and rational course of action for him at that moment.

But when it came time to actually carry it out, Dago hesitated again.

This trial is extremely important to me.

This is my last chance.

Keep this Dago safe; in a critical moment, it can shield you from all soul fluctuations and evade all detection methods below the seventh ring.

Evaqui's image kept flashing through Dago's mind, along with all the help he had given him before.

After weighing his options for a moment, Dago made a decision and resolutely changed direction, his figure transforming into a blurry black shadow as he rushed straight towards the spinning, buzzing Soul Disc.

The dark silver tailless dragon behind them roared, spread its wings, and gave chase.

Dago seemed to ignore him, and quietly stopped in front of the Soul Plate.

He quickly placed his hand on the soul plate, grasping the edge of the rotating plate. Instantly, a strong burning pain, as if he were grabbing a red-hot iron, came from the depths of his soul. In an instant, this burning pain showed a tendency to spread throughout his body.

"call--"

The wind whipped up by the dragon's wings made Dago's long hair flutter and his robes rustle.

He seemed oblivious, his eyes fixed on the soul plate in his hand.

"Just once, Evaque!"

"At most, I can only help you get this chance to start over. If that doesn't work..."

"Then I can only apologize to you."

After saying that, Dago gritted his teeth, exerted force in his hand, and despite the burning pain that felt like his soul was being intensely burned, he spun the soul disc in his hand fiercely.

At that very moment, the dark silver tailless dragon caught up, casting a massive shadow. The dragon extended a ferocious and terrifying claw and viciously grabbed at Dago.
