Chapter 280 The Truth
"Well"

The silver-haired girl barely covered her body with the quilt, but a large area of ​​snow-white skin was still exposed. The veil outlined her graceful figure, and everything was vaguely visible.

It took several days to completely study the spell. Olivia was almost exhausted. She had never imagined that studying spells would be so tiring. She even felt like she had been through a thrilling battle.

But "Angel", who was studying with her, was still full of energy, as if he would never get tired.

"Aren't you tired?"

Olivia turned her head to look at the man's profile with a reproachful expression.

Although this experience was somewhat unexpected, she felt exceptionally at ease and satisfied, which meant that they could experience more things together and accomplish all the scenes she longed for, and even be much happier than the "Scales of Promise" in the story.

The "co-researcher" also turned his head, and a red light flashed in his golden pupils.

Olivia suddenly shuddered.

She felt that there seemed to be a hint of violence in the other person's eyes.

——Just like the abyss demons she had seen before, or those pure-blooded red dragons that burned, killed and looted. It was not the look that an upright and kind-hearted golden dragon could have.

“Is this an illusion?”

Olivia frowned slightly and thought to herself.

Angel smiled again, staring at Olivia with burning eyes: "We dragons are born magical creatures. We have been studying magic in human form, and we always feel a little restrained."

"Teacher Olivia, should we conduct research in our original form?"

Olivia buried her doubts deep in her heart.

She laughed and threw the pillow on the bed at him, pretending to be embarrassed and annoyed, "This is a pub, such a small place, do you want to destroy it?"

But she didn't expect that "Angel" would have a cold expression and answered softly:

"It's not cramped here, Olivia. It's big enough for us to do anything."

"Angel, what are you talking about?"

Olivia suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.

The silver-haired girl looked around in confusion. She didn't know when she had turned back into a silver dragon.

——The warm room, the soft bed, and the swaying lights disappeared like bubbles, and were replaced by a tall dome, cold walls, and thick steel pillars. It turned out that she had always been in this palace and had never left.

The young man with black hair and golden eyes in front of her also revealed his true ferocious appearance. As tiny flashes of magical light appeared, a red dragon over 30 meters long and as huge as a hill appeared in front of her, and its spread wings completely enveloped her.

The silver dragon raised her head stiffly, and the foul and smelly black energy floated above her head, greedily sucking in the light and lost thoughts.

She recognized the spell.

It was an extremely vicious eight-ring spell - [Mind Maze], which could imprison the mind of the recipient and create a confusing maze of illusions.

"No"

"impossible"

Olivia felt as if she was falling into an icy cave. She kept shaking her head, unwilling to face it all.

All those warm dreams and beautiful aspirations were shattered, and replaced by a more completely destructive and desperate reality.

Tears of despair welled up in Silver Dragon's eyes. She summoned up her last bit of courage and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Where's Angel?"

"You, what did you do to him?"

Cassius walked slowly in front of the silver dragon, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear:

"The silver coffin in the Trifa Church, the corner of the Fatri Hall, the waterfall in the south of the Agul Forest, and the bookshelf in the Witch's Veil Tavern"

Olivia was suddenly struck by lightning, her face full of disbelief.

These were the most private information she had shared with Angel. Others had no way of knowing them, but the King of Ashes could tell them all in such detail.

A terrible thought suddenly occurred to Olivia, but she still didn't want to believe it.

The red dragon spewed out sulfur-smelling white smoke casually. "Olivia, I've said it before. When you know the truth of everything, you will just feel like a complete joke."

"There has never been any Angel that you know. The only one that has ever existed is Cassius."

He stared at the silver dragon and spoke word by word.

Olivia lay on the ground exhausted, her blue-gray eyes filled with confusion.

The only life-saving straw that had supported her to hold on before has now become the sharpest dagger stabbing her. So where should she go?

"Why."

"Why are you doing this?"

After a long silence, Olivia whispered.

The voice sounded like a weak question, but also like a desperate cry.

But Cassius did not respond, but said indifferently: "Come on, we still have a long time."

“You can enjoy it slowly…”

The silver dragon, which had been imprisoned for several months and studied for several days, was already exhausted. Moreover, the red dragon had absolute size and power dominance. She could only let the other party do whatever it wanted and was completely powerless to resist.

This time the research was even more intense, like a violent storm, the hot energy surged in her body, and there was even thick smoke around her. Cassius stared at the silver dragon's slender neck.

He suddenly felt the desire in his heart become stronger, even more than physical pleasure, and he urgently wanted to vent this desire.

"Tear it apart! Destroy it all!"

It was as if a violent voice sounded in my heart.

Is that what he really thinks?
Cassius did not notice that his pale golden pupils were filled with bloodshot, revealing an endless desire for destruction, and even sticky saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his sharp claws were already extended.

Olivia suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger, which came from the most primitive instinct, the fear of living things towards the most chaotic and unknown existence.

She was more frightened than ever before.

The silver dragon used up almost the last bit of her strength, struggling with her hands and feet and flapping her wings, but her claws could only leave shallow white marks on the scales.

Cassius grasped her neck with his strong arms, almost pressing her completely under him. The veins on his arms gradually bulged and his strength grew stronger and stronger.

Faced with the threat to its life, the silver dragon desperately turned its head and bit his arm, but its sharp fangs could hardly penetrate the red dragon's outermost layer of defense.

This was a life-and-death struggle for the silver dragon, but for Cassius it was just a meaningless and powerless resistance, not even a tickle.

The silver dragon is already dying.

Everything seems to be coming to an end.

Olivia looked at the red dragon stubbornly. She mustered up her last bit of courage and spoke with all her might.

"No!"

"This is the nature of you five-colored dragons, filthy offspring of Tiamat!"

"You are now like a beast dominated by desire, a demon from the bottomless abyss! You will be hated by all living things! An existence like you will eventually be completely destroyed by the gods one day!
Perhaps she felt that her life was about to end, she was almost cursing and pointing at her nose, she was already desperate.

"Demon of the Abyss."

Cassius muttered to himself.

"Demon of the Abyss."

He repeated it once more, and the huge body of the red dragon was trembling slightly.

Flames burned in his eyes and then went out. He stood there, as if fighting an invisible enemy.

Endless roars came from the void, invisible heat energy spread, terrible fluctuations appeared in the air, and even the ground was shaking violently.

Finally, everything calmed down, and Cassius opened his eyes again, and the bloodshot in his eyes faded.

Previously, due to the powerful pressure from the Red Dragon, no follower dared to speak out all this, not even Trump, the closest and most trusted one. But now the Silver Dragon inadvertently gave him the only reminder through insults.

This is just a trivial introduction, but it is precious.

Previously, Cassius was like walking in the fog, but this reminder finally revealed a little light, allowing him to break free with his own will before he was completely trapped in it.

Cassius finally realized it all.

The Red Dragon's eyes gradually regained clarity, and he finally realized something. Shock and anger appeared in his eyes, but they were not directed at Olivia.

"Damn it, it's Jezalslak!"

"I'm afraid he has done something to the Heart of Karix. The destructive power and the consciousness of the Abyss have even affected my mind!"

Cassius thought with some palpitations.

The violent desire for destruction in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Recalling what happened in the past few days, he acted recklessly and recklessly, and had become a beast dominated by desires. He even had the absurd idea of ​​"massacre the world".

He almost became the embodiment of destruction, or even a substitute for Karix and an extension of the consciousness of the Abyss.

By then, he would definitely become the enemy of the gods and become something that lost its own will, which was something he absolutely did not want to see.

And he could clearly feel that this terrible influence was still continuing, and it would take over his mind at any opportunity and turn him into a chaotic destroyer.

Those violent bloodshot veins were still lurking beneath his skin, those chaotic fires were still hidden in his body, devouring his sanity, waiting for the right moment to surface and bring him the deepest chaos.

Maybe he needs to find some way.

To solve this problem, or rather...curse.

Yes, a curse. In Cassius's opinion, this was a curse similar to the Dragon Madness Mystique, which could affect his mind without him realizing it, and this process was even difficult to interrupt.

Now, the curse has not yet been lifted and may invade Cassius' mind at any time, but now he can at least take the initiative to curb it and seek solutions instead of becoming a beast dominated by desire.

Thinking of this, he looked at Olivia deeply.

"Thank you."

"I will reduce the restrictions of the Dragon Binding Array."

"You can move freely in this palace from now on."

Finally, under Olivia's shocked gaze, Cassius flapped his huge wings, turned and left the palace.

　Everyone’s complaints are quite reasonable, but the silver dragon section is mainly an introduction to make the protagonist realize that he is cursed, and then develop the subsequent plot... Maybe I took it for granted. If you have any ideas for modification, you can say it in the comment section or in the group, and I will consider it as appropriate.
