Chapter 342 Bloody Blade (V)
Finally, Cassius looked at Klein.

He had just had an uncomfortable feeling, as if he was being spied on by something, and now he finally found the source of that feeling.

A wizard said to be related to the Tower of Time.

The red dragon looked at the wizard in the blue-black robe. He lowered his head slightly, and fire flickered in his light golden pupils.

"What are you doing?"

Klein's expression was filled with fear. He had never encountered an enemy that made the abilities he was so proud of completely ineffective.

"No, I can't wait any longer, I want to leave here!"

His previous calmness and confidence in victory suddenly collapsed after he heard that voice.

Klein raised his staff, silently chanted a spell, and released the spell model he had been constructing for a long time.

Along with the violent fluctuations of the magic net, the complex magic circuit instantly appeared in the air, causing the surrounding space to curl up regularly, and finally creating a circular portal in the air.

[Festantilus's Portal]

"Roar--"

However, the next moment, a red dragon broke through the air and appeared in front of Klein. The flames wrapped around its wings destroyed the portal that had not yet been stabilized.

"Did I allow you to leave?"

Cassius swung his claws suddenly, trying to catch the wizard in the same way.

At the moment when the red dragon was about to touch Klein, violent spatial fluctuations emerged from his body again.

The spell was triggered almost instantly, transferring Klein dozens of meters away and continuously creating spatial fluctuations, allowing him to break free from the constraints of the main material plane.

That is the famous Nine Rings spell——

[Elminster's Escape]

This is an improved trigger spell that automatically teleports the mage to a location you specify when one of the specified conditions occurs.

However, the red dragon's body exuded an almost tangible dragon power, which constantly interfered with the triggering of the teleportation spell.

This requires Klein to distract himself to maintain the stability of the spell model.

"Roar!"

With a low roar, Cassius flapped his wings, appeared in front of Klein in an instant, and was about to spit out anti-magic rays.

Klein hurriedly took out a golden pocket watch from his arms and pressed it with gritted teeth.

"Ding."

Suddenly, the wind disappeared, the sand and stones remained motionless in the air, and the rushing river stopped flowing.

Everything seemed to have come to a standstill in front of him, except for the red dragon, which was still moving slowly at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

[Time Stop]

The principle of this spell is not to stop the time of the whole world, but to control the flow of time around oneself, so that one's movements are so fast that almost no time is consumed.

"What a terrifying dragon."

Klein couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and put away the golden pocket watch.

Facing a powerful enemy of this level, he dared not relax at all, let alone waste precious time, so he raised his staff and began to chant spells.

The space around him distorted and his figure became illusory.

Klein will go through the astral conduit to the place he thinks is the safest - a special plane adjacent to all outer planes, a completely neutral negotiation location, the Outer Realm.

On the main material plane, Cassius only saw Klein disappear from his sight in an instant, while the surrounding space still retained the fluctuations of the spell.

"Time stops?"

"Damn wizard."

The Red Dragon couldn't help but mutter to himself, with a look of annoyance on his face. He really didn't like the feeling he had just now.

So he closed his eyes, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye happened to allow him to see part of the past and part of the future that was about to happen.

Cassius couldn't understand the spatial coordinates of the spell, but that didn't stop him from using the Dragon Eye of Heaven to track. "I will catch you."

"How can I let the duck that is delivered to my mouth run away?"

Cassius directly used his will to distort reality, tearing the space apart in a simple and crude way, and chased after him.

This is the "power of thinking" of the warlock. It is not as precise and logical as that of the mage, but it is simple and effective.

Astral realm.

"What a terrifying dragon."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief beside the Astral Color Pool and sighed again, secretly thankful that he had escaped the clutches of the red dragon.

However, the next moment, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, and a dimensional crack burning with raging flames appeared, and the huge body of the red dragon suddenly emerged from it.

Cassius looked down at him, spreading his broad wings and letting the huge shadow cover him.

"Annoying wizard, don't you know the most basic etiquette?"

"Who—allowed you to leave without saying goodbye?"

Klein's face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept appearing on his forehead.

"no no"

He suddenly collapsed to the ground, crawling backwards on all fours, looking extremely miserable.

The count of the legendary equipment [Time Pocket Watch] has been exhausted, and all his methods are useless against the dragon.

Perhaps Klein's life was also about to end.

This wizard from the Tower of Time never thought that he would end up on a seemingly ordinary dragon-slaying mission in the remote north. He had peeked into his future countless times, but never expected such a tragic ending.

The red dragon was approaching step by step, but he was not in a hurry at the moment - because he was waiting for the appearance of certain existence.

Just as Klein closed his eyes in despair, a childish voice sounded.

"Your Majesty Cassius, I hope you can show mercy."

The red dragon knew that the being he had been waiting for had arrived.

A strange dragon walked out of the void and appeared behind Klein.

The shining grey scales were clung to the graceful body, without any undulating protuberances, presenting a smooth shape, while the horns were small, newly formed pieces.

The most terrifying thing is that, judging from the dragon's body proportions and development, it is still just a young dragon, but it has an extremely large body that is more than 20 meters long, which is unimaginable for any ordinary dragon.

"It is indeed the Time Dragon."

Cassius pronounced the name.

The Time Dragon is the most powerful legendary dragon species and the entity behind the important force [Tower of Time].

These graceful dragons wield the power of time to manipulate past, present, and future, and are the only non-divine dragons to be truly immortal.

In the plot of the previous life, the Tower of Time is also a mysterious existence. They wander in the long river of time and often guide the development of history in secret.

Even the players who have the deepest understanding of it are just lower-level time mages and cannot access the secrets of the upper levels of the Tower of Time.

"You, you come, save me, let me get out of here!"

"I knew it, I knew the Tower of Time would never forget me!"

Seeing the Time Dragon coming, Klein seemed to have grasped the last straw.

He hurriedly called for help.

However, the Time Dragonk simply ignored the human mage who was asking for help, and instead nodded to the red dragon not far away. His attitude was quite respectful, yet neither humble nor arrogant.

"We meet again, or should I say"

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty Cassius."

"Talin Archimonde sends his greetings to you, and brings the goodwill of the Tower of Time."
