Chapter 171 - 171 Dragon and Mist (2)

171 Dragon and Mist (2)

Seeing that the two of them weren’t planning on making way, Diana took off the Holy Spirit’s holy emblem that flickered with a bronze luster around her neck and said, “It’s dangerous outside.”

“What’s dangerous? The High Elven powerhouse you just mentioned?” the guard asked.

The other party shook her head.

“No, it’s a dragon and the mist,” she replied.

The two guards found this ridiculous.

How many years had it been since a dragon appeared on the Vic Continent since Terra I’s era?

Roar!

However, before they could say this, a roar that froze their hearts and blood sounded nearby. This sound frightened them so much that their legs almost went limp and they sat on the ground.

Dragon Might…

Although they had never seen a dragon, they had learned from many legends that creatures named dragons could intimidate all living beings around them by letting out terrifying roars.

As for Diana, she pushed the two of them away as if she was unaffected by the roar that contained dragon might and rushed up the stairs.

…

I can’t attack my master?

William was stunned when he sensed the black dragon’s reply.

This black dragon was a product of William’s Divine Realm illusion, True Shadow. The only master of this black dragon was him.

When did the short woman on the ship become its master?

William tried to control the black dragon to spew its breath on the sea around the warship. The other party did as it was told.

Flames wrapped in a pitch-black curse swept across the calm sea surface, and a hissing sound sounded. Almost instantly, the empire warship was enveloped by a dense mist.

William ordered the black dragon to turn its head and spit fire at the warship. Just as the Fire Breath was about to touch the hull, it stopped.

What the hell?

William looked up at the woman on the other party’s ship.

The woman seemed to have caught her breath. She slowly walked to the side and still held the bronze-colored metal plate high in her hand.

A metal plate with the Dragon Sword symbol and holy emblem.

From the looks of it, the thing in her hand was a perfect match for the Holy Spirit iron plate he used as a response terminal.

The Horn Emblem of Holy Spirit Kane and the Dragon Sword holy emblem of Holy Spirit Terra were called the duality of the Eighth Holy Spirit by the Eighth Order.

William tried to order the black dragon to spit Fire at the keel.

I can’t attack my master.

The same will appeared in his mind.

Man… Can that be the reason?

Thinking of a possibility, William took out an unused iron plate from his pocket and threw it into the sea. Then, he used a long-range spell to summon a Tide Soul, causing it to sweep the iron plate hundreds of meters away out into the sea. Then, he continued ordering the black dragon to spit Fire at the sea.

The black dragon rejected his order again.

Moreover, it used the same reason.

That explains it…

William was enlightened.

In the game, no summoned creature—be it summoned through summoning spells, Undead spells, or Illusion spells—would attack its summoner.

In other words, to these summoned creatures, their true owners were the holy emblems.

William’s main body near Viper Scar took out a response terminal from his inventory and threw it to the ground. Then, he used it as a medium to summon the most basic Wolf Spirit.

“Attack me,” William said to the blue translucent wolf in front of him.

Upon hearing the order, the Wolf Spirit pounced on William unceremoniously. Its razor-like sharp teeth aimed at William’s throat.

Snap!

Just as it was about to pounce on William, William snapped his fingers with a gloomy expression.

He instantly dispelled the Wolf Spirit’s summoning spell. The Wolf Spirit turned into countless blue spots of light in the blink of an eye and dissipated in midair.

The summoned creatures summoned through the holy emblem weren’t William Kane himself.

William didn’t believe that this was just a characteristic of a summoning spell.

In other words, although he was the one casting the spell with the Eighth Holy Spirit’s holy emblem and was in charge of the weaving of the spells, the one truly releasing the spell was the indistinct Eighth Holy Spirit?

In that case, whether the power of the Eighth Holy Spirit was reliable or not was a huge question mark for him.

At the very least, the Dragon Sword holy emblem in the other party’s hand had shown its effects. It could be considered the first time he had truly proven that he wasn’t the only person with the authority of the Eighth Holy Spirit.

It looks like I have to think about the development of the Holy Spirit power… William thought.

William had a deep understanding of how powerful a complete Holy Spirit was through the Waning Moon ending.

The Waning Moon ending was also known as a Gundam ending among players. In that ending, the protagonist chose to gather the faith of the Seven Holy Spirits and build a Holy Spirit incarnation to fight the Void Sovereigns’ main body after confirming that there was no hope of closing the Moon Realm rift.

King of Deathblood, Ruin Demon God, and Mad Sovereign.

These three symbolized war, destruction, and domination respectively. After the Void Sovereigns—who had the strongest intuitive combat strength—stepped into Currere, they were trashed by the protagonist imbued by the power of the Seven Holy Spirits. In the end, the other Void Sovereigns saved them one after another, causing the three gods to scramble back to the Moon Realm.
