The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Chapter 177 Guardian·Courage·Time Dragon God

The huge colorful dragon claws slowly lowered themselves and gently placed the bodies of the sphinx couple, who had shrunk to more than three meters in size, together.

A blend of withered yellow and dark brown

The sphinx couple, who lived and died together, were intertwined by their hair, as if they never wanted to leave each other.

Their peaceful demeanor does not look like they are facing death, but like they are sleeping.

Even when the dragon's claws were pulled away, it didn't seem to wake them up.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.

As the breeze blew, a white feather flew out from the palm of the male Sphinx.

It slowly floated between the dragon and the corpse.

Falling on the ground soaked in blood.

Ron gently picked up the feather and held it in his hand, feeling its soft touch.

Ron looked at this feather of heaven and suddenly recalled the scene when he met the male-faced Sphinx.

"You have the guts to let me go. Let's challenge each other"

"Thanks to this Crystal Dragon Crown, we can escape from the control of that voice."

"Perhaps it is the blessing of the Sun God. I have only been searching for 136 years before I luckily obtained this material in the void, but now it seems that I can no longer use it."

The honest words seemed to linger just a second ago.

Thinking about it carefully, I have only known this Sphinx couple for less than a day.

But why.

When you see them passing away, do you always feel uncomfortable in your heart?

Ron quietly stared at the pair of friends on the ground who had just met.

perhaps

It's because during their short time together, Ron saw sincerity and love in each other's eyes.

perhaps

It was also because of their passing that Ron truly realized the fragility and preciousness of life, and cherished his own life and the people around him even more.

Life is so short and death is so long.

Time is like a thief, stealing everything quietly.

Look at everything in front of you

Sudden

Ron stretched out his dragon claws and used his magical power to turn into wind, gently cleaning the wet blood on the couple's bodies.

"I heard someone say"

“Some people are in a hurry just to be your passers-by, and some people are desperate just to stay with you in your life, but no matter how they stay to accompany you to watch the flowers bloom and fall, you should cherish them. "

He slowly spoke what was in his heart, a gentle golden light glowed in his hand, gently brushing the blood-soaked land,

The blood that seeped into the earth seemed to be reversing time, slowly breaking away from the soil and condensing into a ball floating in the palm of the colorful palm.

"God exists, but He doesn't love you."

The bright red rolling blood reflected the figure of the colorful dragon and the nine-colored dragon eyes that showed neither joy nor sadness.

I don't know when Ron took off his disguise and returned to his true self.

He slowly gathered all the blood together, returning the surrounding earth to its original state.

"Although we have known each other for a short time, you have left a far deeper impression on me than that group of nameless humans in the capital."

Ron slowly grabbed the floating blood and moved it in front of him.

He looked at the surging liquid in front of his eyes, but in his mind he recalled the tragic scene in Dreamland and the scene of saying goodbye to the three rainbow dragon gods.

Faint energy fluctuations emanate from the body of the colorful dragon,

It was like a gust of wind blowing, gently pushing away the fine gravel on the ground.

"The gods said: The lives of those mortal things are only a short moment, and eternal sleep is their true destination."

Dots of green light emerged from the void,

The emerald green light traces are constantly rotating around the colorful dragon, like tiny elves, wandering in the air.

Ron stared blankly at the mass of blood.

"But I don't believe it!"

The colorful dragon claws were slightly bent, and then they were grasped suddenly, as if they were integrated with the blood.

A hexagonal rune slowly emerged in the void.

It is different from the guardian rune summoned by Ron before.

In addition to the six-sided border on the outside, a new pattern slowly condensed in the center of the rune!

It was a prism that was so dazzling that it was impossible to look straight at it.

It's just like.

a heart!

As Ron muttered, more and more green light groups floated in the air, so much so that they almost filled the entire core of the space.

"The things you protect with your lives are played with in the palms of the hands of those superior gods and trampled on at will."

At this time, the emerald green light that appeared in the void almost illuminated the entire space.

"Such a god is just a false god."

The moment the words fall

Ron suddenly felt something

He raised his head and looked at the guardian runes in the void and seemed to understand something.

It turns out that you didn’t choose me

Instead, I chose you!

No magic was used, no divine power was used.

The green mysterious rune in the void slowly emerged in Ron's mind, and began to absorb the surrounding energy crazily.

"A person who is unscrupulous and desperate is called extremely evil; but to risk everything for the people he cares about and the people he protects, that is called brave and fearless."

"It is precisely because of having something to care about and something to protect that a person can become truly brave."

Ron looked at the slowly rotating protective runes in his palm and the sudden appearance of protective power around him.

Vivian's figure flashed through his mind.

At this time, he finally understood the true meaning of the power of protection.

He murmured to himself:

"It turns out that the other side of protection is called courage."

boom!

As the words fall

Countless green light groups in the sky seemed to be going crazy, rushing towards Ron like a tide.

The so-called protective rune is also a symbol of courage.

The true power of protection hidden in Ron's body finally fully awakened at this moment.

The protective rune that had lost its disguise was almost completely filled, and vast power fluctuations reverberated within it.

Wave after wave of emerald energy, the green ocean is constantly spreading, submerging the entire core space.

at the same time

In the Castle of Justice far away in the royal capital

Vivian, who was lying on the bed in pure white pajamas and preparing to rest, suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from the back of her right hand.

She raised her hand in surprise and looked at the back of her hand shining with green light.

"How is this going?"

At this time, the protective rune mark left by Ron on Vivian's right hand was vibrating crazily, as if celebrating the birth of the real king.

"Ron, is that you?"

Vivian felt the call hidden in the runes.

She felt that her body and soul were infected by this power, as if there was an invisible force in the universe supporting her behind her.

Vivian stood up and stared at the protective rune on the back of her hand.

She knew that this must be what Ron was conveying, but she didn't know what it meant yet.

Vivian took a deep breath and stared forward, showing a gentle yet firm expression.

Without any hesitation, she clasped her hands together and poured all the protective power in her body into the protective runes.

"Please take them all if you want!"

The turquoise light turned into a beam of light, instantly penetrating the starry sky and lighting up the night of the royal capital.

Countless people were awakened by the sound, rolled out of bed, and stared blankly at the sky-reaching pillar in the sky.

Tina, Shirley, Setsuna, Hermione, Carol and others arrived at Vivian's door almost instantly.

"In the end what happened?"

Shirley looked at the closed door and shouted anxiously.

"Tina doesn't know that Vivian's room suddenly changed like this!"

Tina shouted anxiously, while the black hammer in her hand was still trying to break open the door.

Likewise, Setsuna's five-fold claw attack and Hermione's divine hair attack were unable to open the door.

The four of them had tried their best, but the door seemed to be made of pure gold, firmly keeping the four of them out.

"Did something happen to Ron?"

Carroll knew that his strength was of little help.

She did not participate in the breaking of the door, but picked up a blue wand and turned to look outside the house.

A large number of soldiers wearing full body armor are quickly surrounding the entire Castle of Justice.

"Fortunately, I informed my father immediately. It should be safe here for the time being, but..."

Carol frowned, thinking about his next response strategy.

At this time, outside the Castle of Justice

If the legendary mage Duke Green hadn't been guarding the entrance to the Castle of Justice, the entire Castle of Justice would have been crowded with soldiers swarming in.

Rodney Green looked at the crowd of soldiers in front of him and said expressionlessly.

"What are you doing here? This is the aftermath of my magic experiment, what? You also want to use it as experimental material?"

"this"

The leading red-robed mage and the guard captain looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.

"What, can't you hear what I say? Get back here!"

Rodney suddenly flew into the sky, and the faint sound of waves began to echo in everyone's ears.

"No, no, no, please calm down Duke Green, and we will retreat now."

The two leaders immediately turned pale and quickly waved their hands to signal the soldiers behind to retreat.

Fight against the legendary mage Duke Green who holds the title of contemporary [Poseidon]?

How many lives do you have, are you so crazy?

Without the leader's supervision, the surrounding soldiers would have dispersed long ago.

The monthly salary is just that much, and no one wants to do this kind of behavior that is obviously risking death.

After making sure that all the soldiers and court mages sent by the king had retreated, the furious Duke Green fell to the ground.

He first turned to look at his daughter who was standing at the window of the castle with a worried look on her face.

Rodney smiled and waved to show he was fine.

Then he turned his head and looked at the familiar green beam of light in the air in silence.

Rodney Green has personally experienced the power of guardianship. Once you experience that strange feeling, you will never forget it.

"Such a strong aura, is it that adult?"

"What happened to cause such a big commotion?"

——————

plane of heaven

This is the highest point of the divine kingdom of the current Golden Dragon King Ares.

Even the Golden Dragon King's favorite granddaughter Tina is strictly prohibited from playing nearby.

Although she is the princess of the Golden Dragon clan, she does not know the true face of this place.

She asked her grandfather many times, but the Golden Dragon King always avoided the topic and just said to her: "This is not a place for you, little one."

At the highest point of the heavenly plane is a sealed space.

The sky here is filled with clouds and mist, as if you are in a fairyland.

Since no one has visited here for millions of years, the scenery here is extremely mysterious and spectacular.

In this vast sea of ​​clouds, you can see a huge golden palace standing here.

The entire palace is engraved with countless silver and dark runes, making the entire golden palace looming in the long river of time, as if it exists and seems to be nothingness.

Right above the palace gate, the words "Temple of Time" are inlaid with the power of swimming time.

Inside the huge Temple of Time space.

Two giant dragons with a length of more than 10,000 meters were silently looking at the twelve slowly rotating runes of different colors in front of them.

Three of these runes have been lit up,

They are completely different from other dim runes, exuding strange rhythms as if they are alive.

Watching the dim green rune in the center slowly light up, the two dragon gods looked at each other.

"The guardian rune has finally found its owner again."

The silver-gray dragon stretched out a dragon finger and gently pushed the lit guardian rune aside, integrating it with the other three lit runes.

The green color slowly connected with the three-color runes, illuminating the dark space.

The body of the silver-gray dragon was also completely revealed under this light.

The charcoal-gray scales clinging to the flesh, and the lack of a high spine on the back, gave the creature a smooth feel.

Hourglass-shaped black dragon scales surround his eyes like a mask, and twelve unevenly spaced lines of black scales are radially distributed along the body, like annual rings.

A coronal needle-like spike extends from the back of his skull, effectively doubling the length of his head.

The narrowest point of the triangular wings is connected to the back, and then gradually spreads out. The overall shape is like an hourglass, with two spikes of different lengths protruding from the tail forming two ends.

If Tamara and other dragon gods were here, they would definitely exclaim that the Time Dragon Lord God, who had disappeared for a long time in the star world, would actually appear in the golden dragon king's kingdom!

"are you sure?"

The golden dragon standing next to the Time Dragon suddenly asked.

He is the Lord of heaven,

The Dragon God known as the strongest Golden Dragon King in history: [Ares Joe Carvajal]!

Ever since the last Golden Dragon King was killed by Abyss, Ares has stood up.

He, who was still an ancient golden dragon at that time, became the new glory of the Golden Dragon Clan, and successfully led the Golden Dragon Clan to take revenge on the Abyss twice.

The big explosion in the bottomless abyss plane that shocked the world was directed by Him personally.

Countless abyss creatures and lords died because of this incident, which almost triggered a second all-out war between the Abyss God System and the Dragon God System.

Because of this incident, the Abyss no longer dares to let demiplanes or main planes fall into the Abyss. It must be strictly inspected by the three Abyss Lords before it is released.

Today, his reputation among the golden dragon clan can be said to be almost equal to that of Bahamut, the Good Dragon God!

This is something that the previous Golden Dragon Kings have never done, which shows his ability and means.

The Dragon God of Time nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Unlike the previous branches of time, this one is a real awakening."

Golden Dragon King Ares stared at the remaining eight dim runes floating in the air and frowned.

"So, when are we going to do it?"

"Tina is still with him, I'm worried."

The Time Dragon God did not speak.

He raised his head

Look up at the invisible, inexorable river of time in the sky.

The invisible divine power of time instantly penetrated all barriers

Crystal wall, space, position.

Likewise, time is included!

The figure wrapped in the power of protection and shining with emerald green light slowly emerged from his silver-white pupils.

"There is no need to be impatient. In the sky, fate has already made arrangements. We just need to wait quietly."

"Time is on our side."

——————

Far away from the royal capital, hundreds of millions of miles away

Ron, who was in the core of the space, slowly stretched out his fingers and gently touched the rune that absorbed all the green light.

"Bring their souls back!"

As the words fell, the entire space began to change.

Ron felt the power in his body begin to surge, and his body and soul were being surrounded by this energy.

That is a huge and boundless protective power.

Compared with the guardian rune summoned when treating Duke Green before.

The guardian runes summoned by Ron this time are far superior in quality and quantity. The difference between the two is like clouds and mud!

He felt the boiling protective power, as if he had become part of this energy.

suddenly

Ron felt something in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.

Endless green waves surrounded his true spirit through the limitations of time and space, rushing towards the unknown end of time.

Led by the power of guardianship

Ron felt his consciousness break through layers of obstacles, and finally stopped when he was brought into a mysterious world.

Ron slowly opened his eyes,

The symbol of the guardian rune appeared in the emerald green eyes, and the original iridescent body completely turned into an emerald green illusory body.

In his heart, an almost substantial protective rune was slowly rotating.

"Where is this?"

Ron looked at everything in front of him in confusion.

He originally just wanted to try to use the guardian rune to bring back the souls of the Sphinx couple.

After all, he was almost called back to reality by Vivian's protective power in the inheritance space of the Supreme Scepter. Maybe he could also replicate Vivian's operation at that time.

However, the power of guardianship took the initiative to bring him to this strange place.

This is a world made entirely of black and white!

Here, Ron saw something he had never seen before.

Half of a huge tower towering into the clouds, white rocks and black stones suspended in the air, and grasslands shining with magical light.

There are also groups of mysterious wandering giant undead creatures that are countless tens of thousands of meters tall.

However

In this world, it’s not them that stands out.

But the endless ocean of milky white souls floating in the sky!

Some of the large and small soul light groups are as big as a millstone, some are as small as dust, some are as solid as rocks, and some are as loose as cotton wool.

With the surge of the ocean of souls, they continue to float in the black and white world, like ghosts, looking down at the earth and abyss below.

In addition to the soul sea, there are also stars similar to the sun in the sky.

Unlike Karen, there are three suns hanging in the sky at the same time!

But the strange thing is that even though the sky was clear for three days, Ron didn't feel a trace of warmth.

Here there is only bone-chilling coldness and a breath of silence.

Finally, Ron's eyes fell on the end of the black and white world.

It is a narrow path to the sky.

At the end of the road there are two faint soul light groups, floating helplessly in the passage into the black and white world.

They supported each other, avoided the larger soul light groups, and moved forward cautiously.

It wasn't until the emerald green dragon descended in front of them that they stopped moving, trembling and stopping in place at a loss.

At this time, Ron's body was completely condensed by the power of guardianship. The original colorful body turned into emerald green, looking a bit like a gem dragon made of alexandrite.

Ron didn't know where this place was or how he got in.

But he could feel that the two faint lights of souls in front of him were the Sphinxes!

Although Ron was a little curious as to why the souls of the two sphinxes reappeared here, it would be fine as long as they were found.

Looking at the two soul light groups that seemed to be unconscious, Ron showed a smile on his lips:

"You two deceived a real dragon and want to run away? It's not that easy!"

"Come and work for me honestly."

Ron said slowly while looking at the two souls in his palms.

"Next, you will break away from the fate set by the so-called gods. From now on, you will no longer be the toys of the gods, but become your true selves."

He stretched out his emerald dragon claws and gently put the two groups of soul light into the heart formed by the guardian power, using almost substantial light green energy to warm the two groups of somewhat damaged souls.

Then, he waved his wings and soared into the sky.

This world composed entirely of black and white gave Ron a bad premonition.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is better to evacuate as soon as possible.

After one hour.

Looking at the two weak sphinx souls at the heart, Ron frowned.

"It's only been like this for a while. If we stay a little longer, I'm afraid the souls of the Sphinx couple will be completely assimilated and become part of the soul sea, right?"

Ron guessed,

This black and white world may be the legendary end of all life - the realm of the dead.

This guess is based on, and the endless breath of death is the evidence.

Ron could clearly feel that his protective power was being consumed crazily to resist the death aura around him, but one-tenth of it was wiped out in just a moment!

This thing comes from the power of "heart". At present, he doesn't know how to replenish it, so he has to use it sparingly.

Ron stretched out his palm and felt the invisible aura fluctuations around him.

"Perhaps it's because the aura of living in my body is too strong, and all the auras of death around me are rushing toward me. I must leave here as soon as possible!"

"But how to get out? Why can't the plane teleportation circle be activated here?"

Just when Ron was thinking of a way to get out of here.

Sudden!

All the aura of death wandering around Ron disappeared.

It was as if a mysterious force defeated them all at once, and the entire time and space seemed to be shocked to the extreme. In a trance, it seemed that a mysterious light could be seen spreading, rendering the black and white world more dazzling and gorgeous.

A road to the sky quickly spread from the tall tower to Ron.

The solemn and solemn atmosphere makes people feel shocked in their hearts. It seems that the entire black and white world is feeling this surge of mysterious energy.

At the same time, countless souls in the Sea of ​​Souls and powerful beings living in the Realm of the Dead saluted in the same direction.

That gesture seemed to be.

Meet their gods!

Along with the violent energy fluctuations, a familiar voice of Ron echoed throughout the black and white world.

"You're already here, why don't you come and see me?"
