Chapter 2388: Chapter 1323: The True Purpose
The figure that emerged in Leo Ray’s mind was one clad in white knight armor, precisely the White Knight.
As a renowned general of the Human Clan, although the White Knight did not come along this time owing to his crucial role in the Million Army, the face revealed under his visor was something Leo Ray could never forget.
It was an alarming pale face, bloodless and emanating a dark blue eerie glow.
As for the source of the light, it came from the dark blue crystals covering most of the face.
These smooth and sharp, small-crystal-cluster-like semi-transparent crystals had merged with his skin, and one could clearly see the blood flow beneath them.
On the pale skin not covered by the crystals, blue veins crisscrossed visibly, with exposed sinews everywhere.
Besides, the White Knight’s eyeballs were also fully crystallized, the whites of his eyes a dark blue and his pupils pure white, giving an unseeing and bizarre appearance.
While recalling the appearance of the White Knight in his heart, Leo Ray took a deep breath and looked again into the wide-open eyes of the two giant dragons.
Purple eyeballs, white pupils, radiating a crystal-clear, eerie sheen, they were evidently no longer made of flesh and blood, almost identical to the White Knight’s eyes except for the different crystal color.
“Could there be some connection between them?”
This thought filled Leo Ray with a rising unease.
This was not because of the strange, crystallized exterior of these giant dragons, but the White Knight’s description of how he was once parasitized by the crystals.
According to the White Knight’s recollection, just as the searing magma emerged from beneath, about to engulf him, the originally crimson magma suddenly transformed into a deep blue and began crystallizing rapidly, until it formed a head-sized dark blue crystal orb hovering in the air.
It resembled a bizarre eyeball, like a tentacle-less octopus demon beast, its smooth surface featureless. It was unclear what it actually was, yet the flowing energy inside its semi-transparent body revealed the contour of organs, indicating it might be some sort of unknown lifeform.
At the time, just a glance from this as a Tier 5 Powerhouse White Knight made him feel an utter chill, as if the blood in his veins froze in an instant.
In addition, the White Knight used an incomprehensible description.
In that peculiar creature’s gaze, even in his then near-death, fearless state, he felt an inexplicable, intense dread, a terror surpassing death itself.
The White Knight was also certain that the creature reached the surface along with the emerging magma, indicating that it was unmistakably an unknown creature from the depths beneath.
“Looking closely, the power of underground magma utilized by the Loren Kingdom back then was a manifestation of fire attribute magical ley lines, and after the Magic Array in the magical ley line overloads, its ensuing enormous explosion undoubtedly makes the leylines even more active, which is very similar to the present state of the leylines.”
“Could it be that these giant dragons were also parasitized by some indescribable thing from the depths beneath?”
Within mere seconds, Leo Ray’s mind raced, swiftly organizing the information in his brain.
“But even so, why are they appearing here? Could it be that the culprit arranged it on purpose? In that case, aside from attempting to be crowned at this dragon Coronation Ground, are there other motives?”
“No, perhaps it is to pursue this ‘other motive’ by any means necessary, defeating Nathan Howard’s father and forcibly preparing to be crowned as Dragon King?”
“In other words, becoming the Dragon King is just a guise, the true objective being this ‘other motive’? If so, it’s very likely that all the dragons here have been parasitized by the purple crystals.”
Leo Ray’s unease grew stronger, pondering deeply.
Given this, the various attribute dragons appearing as if time had stood still, seeming unthreatening, might well be just a guise, aiming to lull our side into a false sense of security, then catch us off guard!
After all, after being parasitized, the White Knight didn’t become stagnant by any means, but instead gained prolonged longevity and a formidable self-healing capability!
Reaching this conclusion in his heart, Leo Ray didn’t bother explaining further, immediately waving his arm: “Something’s wrong here, retreat now!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s abrupt statement, although all the powerhouses were filled with confusion, they subconsciously dashed off, retreating toward the passageway they came from.
In that instant, the motionless bodies of the two dragons, parasitized by purple crystals, suddenly flashed, and two massive Tier 6 auras shot skyward, the still sharp Dragon Claws in mid-air shifting from extreme stillness to extreme action, aggressively attacking the nearest Tier 5 level Konet and Serene.
The fierce wind stirred by the Dragon Claws howled violently, making the previously calm scene suddenly extremely dangerous.
In the blink of an eye, fortunately, both upon hearing Leo Ray’s warning, managed to step out of the attack range right beforehand, narrowly ducking the fatal strike as it grazed past their hair.
