Chapter 240 Awakening (Part )

"Finally escaped."

Tina shook her frosty white wings, stretched her neck, raised her head and let out a hearty howl.

"Ow~"

As if she had thought of something, her pupils flickered, and she suddenly gritted her teeth, with a hint of chilliness coming from the gaps between her sharp teeth.

"Humph, those damned humans actually forced me to learn etiquette. One day, one day I will freeze them all and eat them all."

She tilted her head and subconsciously looked towards the palace not far away.

"But then, the master will be angry."

"It would be fine if it was just a beating, but what if the master locked me up in that kind of 'cage' again?"

Tina couldn't help but shiver, trembling all over, and immediately gave up the idea.

In fact, during these three years, this white dragon with a thin ancestral bloodline did not cause any trouble. Instead, it obediently learned various spells, etiquette and even language.

Unlike ordinary white dragons with degraded bloodlines, Tinija's intelligence is actually comparable to that of ordinary humans, though she is a little dumber in some aspects.

Her learning speed surprised even the Ogre Grand Mage. You know, Trump only threw out the bait of "the master loves cultured followers", but this white dragon was extremely active as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Up to now, Tinia has mastered the common language for simple communication, the most basic etiquette of the kingdom, and even learned the art of transfiguration. Among the generally mentally retarded group of white dragons, she can be regarded as a true high-level intellectual.

"When will the master wake up?"

Thinking of the powerful red dragon she had never seen before, her true master, Tinia's face flushed slightly.

The white dragon approached stealthily, pressing its body against the outer wall of the palace. Due to the influence of the red dragon's slumber, the metal wall was often scorching hot and red, even hot enough to roast raw meat. Even the tiefling guards stationed nearby did not dare to touch it easily.

White dragons are creatures that love cold and will only eat frozen food. Their resistance to heat is not high.

The moment it touched the city wall, a burning sound came from Tinya's side, and the pure white scales were even burned black.

"Ow~"

Tinia groaned in pain, but continued to rub against the wall unyieldingly.

She felt the heat from the metal, just like feeling the powerful, sturdy and hot body of the red dragon, and feeling the violent and surging power.

"Owner."

Thinking of this, a trace of ambergris dripped from the corners of Tina's mouth. Even the tightly covered scales could not hide the obsessed and intoxicated look on her cheeks.

The tiefling guards wanted to check the source of the unusual movement, because there would be a generous reward for catching the intruder, but when they noticed that the one coming was the white dragon, they left in dismay as if they had seen a disaster - after all, such things have happened many times before.

In a sense, this white dragon is completely beyond salvation.

Suddenly, a strong hot wind spread out from the palace, and the ground began to tremble violently, with cracks appearing all over.

“Click, click”

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Tina, who was daydreaming, was suddenly awakened.

She was so frightened that she flapped her wings and jumped up, flying crookedly in the air and howling in panic:

"Ouch~~"

The tiefling guards stationed near the palace were also terrified and quickly retreated and evacuated, fearing that they would follow the fate of their poor predecessors who died in the palace.

"Gulp, gurgle." Boiling magma actually gushed out from the cracks in the earth, turning the surroundings into dark black lava.

"No! Go!"

"Let's get out of here right away!"

The tiefling captain Aikmon, who was in charge of the recent protection of the palace, suddenly changed his expression.

The ground was cracked, magma was erupting, and smoke filled the sky. The scene before him was almost exactly the same as the disaster a year ago. He was also present at that accident. He witnessed with his own eyes outside the city wall as Purgatory swallowed up the poor tieflings in the palace.

He was helpless and could only watch them die. And now, the disaster seemed to have befallen him as well.

For Cassius, this was just a trace of power that he accidentally leaked when he was sleeping, which was not worth mentioning at all. But if this "dust" of individual great power fell on ordinary things, it would be a complete disaster that could easily take away their lives.

"Run! Cough, cough!"

Ekmon shouted, but fine smoke particles had already entered his mouth and nose, suffocating him.

He quickly followed his previous training, covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, and walked as bent as possible, wanting to leave this hellish place as soon as possible, and the tieflings followed closely behind him.

However, with a "crack" sound, the ground cracked again, and deep gullies appeared in front of them, with boiling magma also gushing out of them.

"Cough, cough."

“No, I don’t want to die.”

Looking at the thick ashes filling the sky, Ekmon muttered to himself with a look of despair on his face.

"Am I going to die from your Majesty's morning grumpiness? That would be really ridiculous."

However, the dust almost covered half of the sky, not even the sunlight could penetrate. There was magma flowing on the ground and the earth was cracking, ruthlessly cutting off their escape route. The area near the palace was like the end of the world.

Tina was also flying hard in the volcanic ash mist. Her whole body was covered with ash, and she was almost turning into a "black dragon".

Fortunately, the white dragon can fly and its vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary creatures. Although it looks quite embarrassed, it can still flee in panic and is not in danger of death.

But the tieflings were not so lucky. They were faced with a completely desperate situation.

Just when Ekmon was about to fall into complete despair.

"Roar--"

Suddenly, a loud dragon roar sounded, as if it came from eternity.

Along with the roar that resounded through the sky, the invisible field fluctuations expanded at an extremely fast speed. With the arrival of that fluctuation, all the restless magical phenomena were suddenly calmed down.

——The billowing smoke and dust that covered the sky dissipated visibly with the naked eye, the flowing magma flowed back into the ground, or cooled into solid lava, the high temperature that was enough to distort the air gradually subsided, and even the scorching hot ground gradually cooled down.

It only takes a few breaths.

The scene that was originally like a natural disaster in purgatory returned to normal.

“I actually survived!”

"Hoo, hoo!"

Ekmon patted his chest and gasped for breath to calm his pounding heart.

He turned his head and looked at the majestic palace inside the city wall.

"Your Majesty, he is awake."
