Chapter 1263: Chapter 199: Dark Gold Colossus Dragon: Playing Me?

(Well, maybe I’m overthinking it) Carlos shook his head slightly: (But could that Mahdi really be so strong? Even the Prophet got hurt? Or perhaps… did Ian foresee that his efforts in battle would only result in greater injury, so he intentionally got himself seemingly seriously injured to slack off and avoid directly fighting Mahdi?)

(Hmph. At least he took my suggestion… Compared to reclaiming The Unyielding Fortress, which is difficult to achieve in a short time, the Prophet’s value is more significant)

Can’t think too much for now. Aina is still fighting, and Carlos can only hope his brat is smart enough to play dead if he can’t win, not to waste the power he left for his escape to fight to the death with others.

“Ah, I don’t know why you want to follow your grandfather and uncle.”

Thinking of this, the Great Prince sighed deeply, murmuring to himself, “Papa can’t fly over to save you now…”

At this moment, after Yafada sealed the Exotic Species Research Institute’s exit, the battle intent on the surface had been completely ignited.

Except for those at the Fifth Energy Level, the group of people most capable of impacting the world on Terra Continent are about to begin their fight.

As for Aina, whom Carlos worries might recklessly fight on, if he knew his father’s concerns, he would surely smile wryly and deny his father’s speculation.

And why are you asking…

Of course, does he have a choice?

At this moment, with halos revolving above his head, showcasing his Heart Light Body, Aina floated mid-air, surrounded by dozens to hundreds of various weapons—guns, cannonballs, longbows, swords, spears, axes—looking like an armory of light.

And now, those weapons were unleashing maximum firepower into an area below, making it seem as though countless showers of light were pouring down, with each drop causing a massive explosion, shaking the entire Crystal Stone Plaza with unrest.

Meanwhile, on another front, the Necrocaller summoned a massive shadow bone dragon that resembled an ancient deity, stepping out from Shadow Marsh, absorbing all surrounding vital energy, creating large areas of frozen stalling cold. It flapped its wings, entering the explosion’s smoke, seeking to devour its enemies.

But soon, with explosion dust swirling like a vortex, a four-winged Worm Nest Crystal Dragon clashed with the shadow bone dragon at the vortex’s center, and even though the shadow bone dragon consistently sapped its power, the Worm Nest Crystal Dragon still had the upper hand.

Gaer, clad in Bloodwolf Armor, wielded a long blade conjured from his own blood, fighting against some entity—yet, in the next moment, he was blasted away by an invisible force.

Though he could soon rejoin the battlefield, the power gap between them was evident.

And just after Gaer was knocked back, Elg, clad in black armor and engaging in long-range attacks using various Origin Quality techniques and Spirit Energy spells, also encountered an invisible force’s sudden assault. Were it not for ‘Ian’ and Anfa intercepting, this Scholar might have met Gaer’s fate.

Currently, ‘Ian’ was clad in a layer of white Ice Armor, and behind Anfa, a pair of dignified dark dragon wings had grown—they both had made significant progress in their power.

As for ‘Golan’… she was the main force combating that invisible power.

Relying on the bloodline ability ‘National Domain,’ she continually absorbed the invisible power’s attacks, then turned and attacked the opponent with their own force. Only this balanced power of offense and defense could counter the nonhuman attacks of the invisible power.

And what exactly was that invisible power…

“The Second Generation of the Immovable Firmament…”

Staring intently, Aina wore a serious expression.

Under his incredibly dynamic vision, the true form of the invisible power gradually emerged… It was Mahdi in his Spiritual Body, intermittently shifting between ‘Spiritual Body’ and ‘Corporeal Body,’ unleashing incredibly fast, powerful attacks!

But at this moment, Mahdi was already vastly different from the initial Mahdi.

The Ghost Valley Knight was entwined in scarlet blood flames, with dark lightning flickering around him. Clear light patterns coursed across his body, even radiating on the Blood River Armament like crystal light patterns.

And at the knight’s heart, only a terrifying fusion nucleus constructed of lightning could be seen. This Prime Matter Furnace, mainly using magnetic-field lightning, further enhanced his speed and explosiveness, combined with the ‘Incorporealization’ provided by the Blood River Armament, empowering him greatly!

This was a ‘new’ Unyielding Fortress, returning to its original form, the true power of his true form!

Despite unleashing their ultimate power, all the young strong contenders hadn’t gained the upper hand and were even more severely wounded!

Although, on the flip side, Mahdi’s injuries were also more severe, even bearing several deep wounds to the bone, but that fearsome power was not gifted by the elders, it was truly his own strength!

“Hahaha, yes, that’s it, show your full strength!”

At this moment, the Ghost Valley Knight’s raucous laughter filled the entire Subspace Labyrinth, and though his injuries had increased, he seemed even more jubilant.

Having erupted his Heart Light and temporarily reaching the peak of the Third Energy Level with the support of Fourth Energy Level power, Gaer was no longer someone Mahdi could face unscathed. Both sides slashed each other with one strike, and even though Gaer was injured deeply, the knight also suffered cuts to his flesh and blood.

And Aina, continuously pouring heavy firepower from above, could intermittently break his defenses, shattering parts of his armored clothing and flesh—the Sunbird at a high power level was essentially a strategic bomber, capable of pouring overwhelming firepower at light speed, making interception and pursuit implausible!
