The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Facing the sudden blood mist, Elise screamed and backed away as if she was frightened.

But there was no panic in her eyes.

And during the seemingly panicked retreat, there was no pause in the movements of her hands, and she cast multiple protective spells smoothly:

"[Three-ring magic·Natural protection]"

"[Three-ring magic·Protection from energy damage]"

"[Four-Ring Magic·Ellick Protective Film]"

Almost instantly, her body was tightly wrapped in colorful protective spells, shining like a human-shaped LED light.

Seeing this scene, Ron burst out laughing, waving his dragon wings and flying to the door:

"It's just ordinary blood. Don't be so nervous, right?"

Letting the red mist float over his body, Ron smiled and looked at Elise, who was in a spell-casting posture as if facing a powerful enemy.

Elise frowned slightly, watching as the gushing blood mist was gently repelled by the natural protective light shield around her body, and then gradually drifted toward the sky, faded, and disappeared.

Sure enough, as Ron said, there was no magic power mixed in the blood mist, it was just a mist formed by the evaporation and condensation of blood.

"So, you already knew what was inside, and the sudden push on the door just now was definitely intentional, right?"

Looking resentfully at the rainbow dragon standing aside watching the show, Elise sighed helplessly.

"Who knows."

Ron spread his hands, and then flew forward on his own, entering the bronze door and the palace hall illuminated by the sun.

Soon, his smile faded.

Looking at the scene in the hall, Ron's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of emotion on his face:

"It's really cruel."

When Elise heard what Ron said, she walked towards the door curiously and said as she walked:

“What’s in it?”

As soon as she reached Ron's side, Elise's words suddenly stopped and her steps stopped in place.

The gray sunlight shines on the dusty old castle, and countless dust particles dance in the air like light elves under the sunlight.

Here, in the dreamy scene, is a blood-red "earth".

That was what it looked like after countless blood had coagulated. The black and red blood clots covered the entire interior of the building.

And in this solidified "sea of ​​blood", countless corpses wearing black robes were lying quietly on it.

They were piled one on top of another, rising as high as a hill, and did not stop until they reached the top of the castle.

It feels like the red pepper floating on top after the hot pot oil base has solidified.

Hall, stairs, room

Corpse, corpse, corpse.

Everywhere you look in the huge castle hall is covered with the corpses of humanoid creatures!

The strong smell of rust filled the air, and the strange thing was that all of this was confined to the castle, but did not leak out at all outside the castle, as if the inside and outside of the castle were divided into two worlds.

Thousands of corpses are scattered on the steps and in the hall. Most of them are human corpses, but there are also a few corpses of human-like intelligent life forms.

But without exception, their bodies were soaked in blood, and were even completely wrapped in a sea of ​​solidified blood.

"this"

Smelling the strong smell of blood in the air and looking at the hellish scene in front of her, a chill instantly invaded Elise's body from her head to her toes.

"This...what on earth is this? Are they having a civil strife?"

Elise asked with a trembling voice, her mouth wide open.

"Looking at the expressions on their faces, they probably died when their carotid arteries were cut with a dagger in their sleep. Although the death was miserable, they probably didn't suffer much pain."

Ron's voice was still calm, and he even had time to analyze the state of the deceased before his death.

"The death of this group of people should have been a week ago. Judging by the time, the massacre started shortly after I destroyed the body of the rat."

After speaking, he waved his dragon wings, kept his feet about one meter above the ground, and began to explore inside.

There was no way, the area one meter below the castle hall had already been occupied by a sea of ​​solidified blood.

Some of the blood did not look completely coagulated and clear, and there were reddish moist folds and bubble-like bulges in many places.

If you were to walk on it, if you accidentally stepped on it, you would be really disgusting.

Outside the hall, Elise was still hesitant to enter.

Looking at the tragic situation in front of her, a feeling of nausea suddenly hit Elise's heart.

In fact, Elise has seen many scenes of adventurers or monsters bleeding, and it is not uncommon for her to see blood flowing.

Although she has not participated in large-scale wars, small-scale conflicts are common in this primitive forest. As the guardian of Blue, Elise naturally does not have problems such as hemophobia.

It's just that those scenes are too gentle compared to the scenes in front of me.

Although it was the first time for Ron to see such a slaughterhouse-like scene, perhaps due to the influence of dragon nature, he did not feel any discomfort in his heart, and even felt a little throbbing.

It was as if he was familiar with this scene.

"Tsk, tsk, this is what is called a river of blood."

Ron's eyes were shining with light, and while vibrating the dragon wings, he looked around at the situation in the castle.

The space in this Gothic castle was very large. In addition to the hall filled with corpses, there were dozens of individual rooms. Although the sight was mostly scenes of massacre, Ron still searched the rooms one by one.

As the largest stronghold of the Holy Religion, these should not be the only things here.

really

Ron stopped when he searched the last room in the southeast corner of the castle.

Unlike other rooms that were soaked with blood stains, although the room with the green wooden door in front of him looked very old, there was no trace of blood spreading here.

All the blood flow automatically stopped three meters outside the green wooden door, forming a semicircular vacuum area.

Most importantly, this was the only thing Ron didn't see through.

"You can't see through the scene inside with the real vision. Is it protected by quasi-divine or divine power?"

Ron touched his chin, looked at the wooden door in front of him with interest, and thought in his mind:

"In the entire castle, other doors are made of metal. Only the door of this room is made of wood, and the metal wall surrounding it is actually a wooden wall made of the same material as the door."

Thinking, thinking

A bold idea suddenly came to Ron's mind:

"Did those guys build this entire castle just for this one room?"

"No matter, let's explore the path first."

With this thought in mind, Ron waved his hand and released a summoning magic.

This is not a simplified summoning circle, but a real [Seven Rings of Magic·Summoning Servant].

Soon, a giant elemental creature covered in flames slowly walked out of the crack.

"Hey, he's still an old 'familiar' person"

Looking at the fire element giant with dull eyes in front of him, Ron was filled with emotion.

He remembered that the second meal he had in the fire elemental plane seemed to be this kind of creature. Now that time has passed, he did not expect to see this kind of elemental life again.

It's a pity that it is no longer the fire element giant it was before, and Ron is no longer the weak young dragon it was.

"open the door."

Following Ron's instructions, the stupid fire element giant slowly floated to the door, stretched out his sickle-like hands, and pressed against the wooden door.

Fire elemental giants are large elemental beings, and their power can be said to rank first among the four elemental giants.

But even with such a huge force, it could not push the wooden door even one inch.

Not only that, as the fire element giant's movements became larger and larger, large mysterious green marks began to slowly appear on the wooden door.

next second

Countless green runes poured out from the wooden door and turned into a sharp arrow.

"boom!"

In an instant, before even Ron could take action, the poor fire element giant was smashed into a pile of stone residue by the green rune arrow.

"Um?"

Ron frowned slightly.

At that moment, he felt some kind of coercive force similar to a contract.

"Is it a charm similar to [prohibiting the activation of summoned creatures]?"

"In other words, do I have to open this door myself? But since I can't see what's behind it in my true vision, it might be a bit dangerous to open it hastily."

After thinking for a moment, Ron suddenly turned his head and shouted to the corridor:

"I said, why don't you come in?"

Outside the gate.

After hearing this, Elise, who was still hesitating, suddenly took a step forward involuntarily.

"ah!--"

This time Elise was really panicked. This looked like a scene where a big event would happen, and she really didn't want to risk it.

However, that invisible force helped her make the opposite decision.

Before she could react, Elise's left foot wrapped with a ribbon had already stepped through the door and stepped on the sea of ​​blood.

Snapped!

Fortunately, the river of blood at the door was still solidified, and the soles of her naked feet were only slightly dented when they stepped on the "red carpet."

After reacting, Elise quickly waved her leaf staff, and her body slowly floated with the help of the breeze.

And her little feet kept moving towards Ron at the same speed, feeling like a controlled puppet.

Almost instantly, Elise understood what was happening.

Master-servant contract!

"Damn it, that guy actually used the contract to forcibly control his body!"

Elise gritted her teeth and struggled desperately.

Unfortunately, under the constraints of the contract, her actions were completely in vain.

Soon, Ron, who was lying in the air and wagging his tail leisurely, saw Elise walking out of the corner, her face extremely dark.

"It seems like you're not in a good mood?"

Ron smiled and said "concerned".

Elise looked at him with gritted teeth, and slowly said:

"Would you feel good if someone else forcibly controlled your body?"

"Too."

Ron nodded, then spread his hands:

"But I can't help it. There is a door here. I am too delicate and weak to push it, and you are stuck at the door and won't come in. This makes it very difficult for me."

You, a demigod dragon, tell me that you are delicate and frail?

Elise almost laughed angrily at Ron's words.

"You didn't show any weakness when you pushed the metal door just now, did you?"

"Besides, can't you just summon any elemental life to do this?"

But obviously Ron's mind would not change in any way because of her reluctance.

"What do you think the explosion was about just now?"

After saying that, without waiting for Elise to respond, Ron slowly retreated behind her and said with a smile:

"Anyway, please ask our Blue Guardian, Lady Elise, to help open the door~"

"Don't worry, he probably won't die."

Although it seemed that he was very reckless in doing things along the way, rushing to the forefront of everything, but that was actually based on the effectiveness of the [True Vision] brought by the power of guardianship.

Where the degree of danger can be determined, Ron naturally doesn't mind being a pioneer and rushing to the front line.

But in places like this that you can't see through, it's better to be more cautious.

"should?"

"You're disgusting!"

Elise gave Ron a hard look.

This guy definitely did it on purpose, right? This is the situation, even if you lie to yourself, it’s okay!

Although she was reluctant, she was stronger than others. Under the constraints of the contract, she could only take the initiative to walk to the wooden door.

However, in this process, Elise has cast countless protective spells on herself, which can be said to be extremely armed.

"Buzz——"

Protective magic that shone brighter than the door just now surrounded her body, and the white jade-like skin illuminated by the strong light became vaguely transparent.

And Ron allowed her to use it, and even added a layer of iridescent spheres as protection.

"call"

Taking a deep breath, Elise slowly pressed her palm on the wooden door. Ron was also watching her movements intently, ready to rescue at any time.

After all, he was just exploring the way, and he didn't mean to kill her.

The door was made of dead wood, and its surface was full of traces of time.

It looked fragile, as if it could collapse at any time, but Elise didn't dare to let down her guard because of this.

This is something even that dragon must be careful about!

Unexpectedly, the wooden door, which had been motionless under the terrifying power of the fire element giant, made a creaking sound the moment Elise pushed it gently.

"Zhiqua——"

It slid open effortlessly like an old, worn-out door.

Without any hesitation, the moment she opened the door, Elise came behind Ron in a flash.

"If you want to die, let's die together!"

Elise, who had already made plans, felt a panic in her heart and was already prepared to be attacked.

In fact, Ron, who was attracted by the scene behind the door, didn't pay attention to her actions.

The dangerous scene he expected did not appear. There was only a gray-green mist that was constantly rotating behind the wooden door, as if leading to another world.

"It's actually a teleportation circle?"

Ron murmured as he looked at the scene behind the door.

It seemed that the opening of the wooden door started a chain reaction.

Above the mist, a line of emerald-green runes were slowly emerging in the air one by one.

"Ancient elven writing?"

Ron frowned, recognizing the text that had disappeared in Karen at a glance.

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Elise behind him.

The latter looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, I opened the door exactly as you told me! Don't blame me if something happens!"

Elise said to Ron nervously.

She stared at the iridescent baby dragon in front of her with vigilance, fearing that the other party would force her to do something dangerous again.

"It's okay, I just checked to see if you were hurt."

Ron shook his head.

He turned around, raised his head and read the meaning of the ancient elven text in his heart:

"I swear by my blood, I will repay you double what you owe me."

Seeing that Ron didn't seem to pursue his actions just now, Elise breathed a sigh of relief, and then curiously looked at the line of unintelligible text:

"What does that mean? Can you understand it?"

"Can"

Ron nodded.

"The above means"

Halfway through, Ron suddenly turned his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at Elise with malicious eyes:

"Whoever pushes the door will be the first to go in."

"ah?"

Feeling something bad in her heart, Elise was just about to escape in a blink of an eye when she felt a dragon claw suddenly grab the ribbon wrapped around her neck.

"Why are you running?"

The irresistible force directly lifted her up and suspended her in the air.

"Don't worry, this door will be fine for you."

Ron held the back of Elise's neck and said with a smile.

"No! I don't believe you, this evil dragon! Let me go."

Elise struggled desperately, but unfortunately the dragon claw that grabbed the back of Destiny's neck remained motionless.

Not finished yet

In Elise's desperate eyes, Ron waved his hand mercilessly and threw her directly into the portal made of mist.

Immediately afterwards, he also entered the portal next to Elise in a swooping posture.

"Bo"

With the sound of bubbles bursting, the figure of one person and one dragon instantly disappeared into the clouds.

————————

at the same time

In a mezzanine plane of Karen

A bloody figure tied to the cross slowly raised his head.

Looking at the blood-red space in front of her that suddenly began to surge, she whispered to herself:

"Is it finally here?"

The hoarse voice echoed in the mezzanine plane and could not stop for a long time. (End of chapter)
